The Englishmen began to recover ground
by the victory of Bellingham over Hymes.
The former intercollegiate champion missed
a draw at the last moment. A draw was
agreed upon between Hodges and Mills, en-
tirely warranted by the position.
The American team, however. made up
for the loss by Barry's victory over Black
burne after a stout struggle. The English
champion had entered into dangerous
combination, abandoning pawn after pawn,
solely bent upon his onslaught against the
hostile king. Barry. however frustrated
the attack, and Blackburne, after losing a
piece, had to surrender.
The next victory was In favor OF the Eng
-Hshmen, who won on the seventh board.
Newman had a bishop to the good and
Mitchell had four pawns, but Newman
might have drawn had he not wasted sew
eral moves by shifting his king, thus en-
abling the Englfshman to queen pawn.
Meanwhile. Helms. on the tenth board,
had made great strides toward improving
his ri sition, and In q skiiiful ending forced

BASKET BALL.
Mortons Played Good Game and De-
feated CAROLS.

The last game of the season of the Dis
tr1ct Basket Ball League took place Satur-
day night in the National Guard gym
nasium between the Morton Cadets and the
Carroll Institute team. and was won by
the former by score of IA to 7. Several
more games are on the schedule. but as
the Athletic Association needs the gym
nasium every evening, in preparation for
the indoor meet on the oath. 1t was deemed
best to- end the season at this time Both
teams fought fast and furious from the
start, but there was very little bad temper
shown in the contest. The first half ended
In the CAROLS favor, the score being to
3. but the Mortons showed marked i'm
provement in the second half and kept the
ball near their basket. and thus secured
their goals and the game. The champion
ship was won some time ago by the Car
rolls. the Corcoran Cadets taking second
place and the Y. M. C. A. and Mortons
tying for third, the Cuthbert Class team Is
next and the Ordways last.

Base Ball Notes.

Wet grounds Saturday prevented the
games between the Senators and Columbian
and the Georgetown and Syracuse teams.
Georgetown plays the strong Cornell team
tomorrow and flrst-class exhibition Is
assured.
Ned Hanlon and his band of Brooklyn
trolley dodgers will be here for two games
with the Senators Thursday and Friday.
Nothing new in the Delehanty case up to
noon today.
Before condemning the Athletic players
for striking in Philadelphia Saturday a
statement from one OF their number would
be in order. Lave Cross always has had
splendid reputation for fairness and there
must be a screw loose somewhere when he
kicks over the traces.
A majority of the Senators were out at
the park yesterday afternoon, bat confined
their training to running around in heavy
sweaters. Holmes and Setback led the
bunch around the lot several times.
Saturday afternoon. before 5000 people,
the st. Louis Americans defeated the Ma
tionals Of the same city, by the score Of 10

Catcher Bill Clarke joins the Senators this
week and from now on there will be no
complaint from the slab artists of not be-
ing worked enough. Clarke has certainly
fixed the Middies up In splendid shape for
the season.
Gene DeMontreville, who has been acting
the part of captain over the Senators in the
early games. has demonstrated that he is
splendid leader and got the boys to work
at their best during the games against the
Georgetown and the Phillies.
Billy Hallman has strained a ligament in
his right leg.
Roy Thomas brother. who was given a
trial by Manager Shettsline last season. has
signed to play second base on the Baltimore
Eastern League team.
Pitcher Red Donahue has reported to
McAleer. Donahue has been coaching the
Yale University candidates and says the
Ellis will be sure winners this year.
It looks very much as IL Hughey Jen-
nings will be 'hors de combat this sea-
son. After career Of twelve years he has
been cast aside to make room for the
younger and more active players.
Pitcher Hickey. the star left-hand pitcher
of the Pacific Northwest League, has been
highly recommended to the Cincinnati
magnates. Hickey's chances of becoming a
Red are poor. for the reason that he owes
the Cleveland club advance money.
Murphy should play a much faster sec
ond base this season with the valuable
coaching he received while playing between
Harry Davis and Monte Cross last season.
