PROTECTION OF HORSES.
Philanthropic Citizen Makes Donation
of 100 Bonnets.

Philanthropic citizens are beginning to
send their contributions to the Washington
Humane Society for the benefit of the
horses of the city during the summer
months. Bonnets are particularly desired
by the society. and Secretary Martyr is
hopeful that every horse which can be
reached will have covering for his head
during the heated term.
A contribution of bonnets was received
yesterday by the society from John M. Git
terman Published herewith is a letter ex-
pressive of the feelings of the donor on the
subject. 1t was addressed to Secretary
Martyr of the Humane Society, and reads:
Dear Sirs: Before making my own es-
cape from the coming hot months l desire
to bear my small share In alleviating the
suffering which the sun entails upon the
laboring horses in our streets and there
fore I send you ten dozen products of the
equine millner's art-horses bonnets for
horses heads.
81 know that the number is pitiably in
adequate, but 1 hope that others of our
members, and perhaps some Of The general
public, will fill Up the number so that this
summer it may be as rare to see a horse
without headgear as lady without a par
asol. / remain very sincerely yours.

Waterboy Lame Again and May Be
Retired.

From a reliable source it was learned yes
terday that Waterboy had gone lame again
and 1t is doubtful whether Trainer A. J..
Joyner will ever be able to get him fit to
race again. 1t was only a few days ago
that Waterboy worked a fast mile and an
eighth and showed every indication of be-
ing able to stand preparation for the big
stakes at Brighton and Saratoga. But 1t ap-
pears that the famous son of Watercress,
who was easily the champion last year.
after workout on Monday pulled up in
such poor shape that his case was pro-
nounced hopeless by the track experts who
saw hin. There have been alarming re-
ports about the great horse all season, but
one after another they have been refuted.
When Waterboy was declared from the
Suburban week ago 1t was said that he
had not gone wrong, but that Trainer JOY
ner. acting under instructions from ]. B.
Haggin. had decided to go slow rather than
take chances Of a permanent breakdown.
Waterboy went lame last fall Just at q
time when he was preparing for the
Brighton cup. but he came out of 1t all
right, and early this spring he was pro-
nounced as sound as a bell OF brass. In
view Of this latest mishap 1t IL more than

,ecial Dispatch to The Evening Star

DETROIT. Mich, June 15.-Most astound-
ing of all the performances In yesterdays
to D fifteen-inning tie game, and largely
responsible that 1t was such, was the bat
ting stunt Of Jack Townsend. who in this
one game got as many hits as he secured
all last season. and who really did more
hitting than in all 1903, two singles In
twenty games being that record. while two
with total of three was his mark yes
terday.
Townsend would certainly have made it
an even break for his club here but for the
antics ot old Bob Lowe That veteran came
back to batting life as astoundingly as did
Townsend, driving in four of Detroit's runs.
and scoring the other one himself. That
1t was peculiar game these two things will
show. Detroit should have secured twice
as many runs as she did, but her sluggers
fell when smuggling would mean scores.
Washington, on the other hand, was en-
titled to but one or two runs. hut was
helped along by some minor league field
ing by the locals. After the game had
been drawn both sides figured that. on the
way the play had run, they had ample
cause TO be satisfied.
Townsend and Kitson started it and De-
troit made it easy for Jack at the start.
Cassidy singled, and Donovan put a
scratchy one in right field. Lowe threw
Cassidy out at third on Donovan's hit, but
Greminser dropped the ball after making
the play. Selbach's fly and Mccormick S
single did the rest. Detroit tied it up i'm
mediately on Barretts single, loves triple
and Cassidy'S error on the return. In the
fourth. Washington went ahead on McCor-
mickS single, pass to Drill and Town
sends double. Two We're out and there
were two strikes on Townsend when Kitson
foolishly handed him a straight ball right
over the plate. Then came the trouble, and
as Barrett muffed Cass.dys fly. three runs
in all
O'Leary, Barrett and Lowe singled in a
row in the fifth, loves hit driving in the
run. Detroit was still two behind when
son. and was easy. OLeary and Barrett
singled. Mcintyre forced Barrett. Lowe
broke into print again. placing a double
over Selbachs head. and tallying the neces-
SarY two runs.
The overtime was good ball Killian
only in the fourteenth when Mccormick
and Stahl led off with singles. The next
three went out in order, without even ad-
vancing the runners. Detroit was even
weaker. for she lost two good chances.
Barrett got his fifth single in the eleventh,
and Donovan Immediately substituted ia
cobsen for Townsend. Mcintyre hit him
safely. but Barrett ran the bases fooiShly
and was cut off second. Lowe got his
fourth hit, but both he and Mcintyre We're
left. In the fourteenth the Tigers filled the
sacks, with one gone, on hits by Carr and
Greminger. and an error on Buelow. Two
force plays followed and darkness stopped
the game after the next inning.

Pitcher Clarkson Resigned.

Walter Clarkson has forestalled his re-
moval from the Harvard varsity base ball
team by the athletic committee as ineligt-
BILE by handing in his resignation to take
effect at once.
Clarkson acknowledged that he signed
a contract May to play with the New
York Americans for $4,000 salary. and ac-
copied $500 bonus on that date This made
him a professional almost from the begin
ming of the season, according to the stand
taken by Harvard on eligibility Harvard
men claim that the university has been
placed in decidedly awkward position by
Clarkson. He played in games against ten
other colleges, and the latter, if they
choose, can protest every game in which
he played with nothing left tor Harvard
to do but acquiesce.

Base Ball Notes.

The Senators start four-game series In
Cleveland today.
The tail-enders certainly battled hard for
supremacy yesterday.
Just think of Jack Townsend making a
double and a single in one game. The news
must have stirred up the Delaware people
very considerably.
In Mondays game Cassidy was a peach,
but in yesterdays exhibition he was some
thing of lobster. Barrett was also in the
lobster class, but his five hits Offset his
muff.
Nobody ever charged Link Lowe with
being hitter, yet he butted into yester-
days game with two singles. double and
a triple and robbed the Senators of VIC
tory.
Those hammer wielders who have been
after Barry Mccormick for his light bat
ting are once more reminded that the Gin
cinnatt boy had three singles to his credit
yesterday. two of which were very timely.
Barry can hold his own In a batting line
with any of the local aggregation.
Cleveland made but one hit in five innings
off Bender yesterday. The big bunch of
batters are evidently waiting for the Sena-
tors to come along so as to increase their
percentages.

of figuring crowds in st. Louis, but they
can't quite beat it,

Why a Hawaiian Dislikes Lawyers.
A cablegram from Honolulu says:

A cablegram from HONOLULU says:
John Sumner, an octogenarian, has
bought the Island of Mokuloa and intends
to use it as seaside residence. He is
wealthy. His property was tied up under
spendthrift trust for some years. After
extensive litigation Sumner succeeded in
breaking this trust and getting his prop
erty. The action in court caused scandal
and three prominent attorneys of the terri
tory were disbarred for having been in an
alleged scheme to systematically rob him.
Sumner hates the sight of. lawyer now
and he declares that he has purchased the
island so as to go there and be rid of them.
The island is on the northern side of this
island. 1t Is about seventeen acres in ex-
tent. Only two men in the Hawaiian group
have the distinction of being the sole own
ers of islands. One is Sumner and the
other is Charles Gay, who recently got con-
troll of the Island of Lanai.
