teur champion of the Thames and twice
winner of the diamond sculls made the
capture of the diamond trophy by Scholes
practical certainty in the final race to-
day.
The Canadian sculler in the result not
only justified the predictions of his friends,
but created a new time record, minutes
% seconds, beating the record of B. H.
Howell of New York, in 1898, by 6 seconds
The wind up stream and the condi-
tons were favorable for fast travelling.
Under the prevailing conditions there was
little advantage in the choice of conditions
Scholes, who was the Bucks side got
away first and led by half a length at
quarter of a mile from the start. The
Canadian continued to travel SO fast that
he had two lengths the advantage at Faw-
ley court Clouett there put in series OF
fine spurts, and once got within three quar-
ters of a length of his adversary, but
Scholes again drew away and won by
length and quarter, amidst a scene OF
great excitement.

The Bostons concluded their series with
the Senators yesterday with a shut-out
for the home team. while the champions
gathered in three runs. This result was
principally due to the mastery pitching
of the veteran Young. who was unusually
effective with men on bases. while the good
batting of the champions and mum by
Albert Edward Orth. who was subbing in
center field, was responsible for the three
talHes. Young. as usual, had perfect con-
troll with his wonderful speed, and in five
of the innings the Senators went out In
their order Of going to the plate. For
seven innings the Senators had secured by
three hits In as many innings. In their
last two turns at the bat they secured
four hits two In each inning. but the bin
gle necessary to drive a man over the
plate was not forthcoming. Back of Young
the champions played perfect ball. Collins
Parent and Ferris pulling off several fast
plays In their usual artistic style.
Jacobsen pitched a fairly good game for
the Senators, but he couldn't keep the ball
away from the champions bats after they
had gotten men on the bases. Jacobsen
hin self made a poor throw to second as
did Kittredge. but the only error that cost
a the inglorious muff of Orth.
two singles. but strange to say they failed
to score chiefly account of fast double
play by Cassidy and Jake Stahl. the young
shortstop making a particularly brilliant
stop of Collins hot liner to left center
In the second Setback tore of a triple
to center and scored Ferris three bag
ger into the same territory.
In the fifth Jacobsen handed up slow
curve to LaChance after the latter had
been pulling away from the speedy ones.
and the result a double to center field.
Ferris sent him to third on sacrifice. and
CriGers timely single into left scored the
big Frenchman.
In the eighth after two were out. Orth
muffed Collins fly, and he went to third as
Kittredge threw the ball into center field
in the effort to stop him stealing second.
Freeman followed with single to right
and Manager Jimmy rushed home with Bos-
tons third and last run.
The small crowd on hand had lots of fun
with Selbach, as usual. guying the ex-Sen-
ator at every chance. and the bleacherites
were wild with delight when he allowed
Dorovan's liner to bound away from him
and go a double. "Sel" did his best to
complete his play. and during the stay of
the Bostons in Washington Captain Collins
had no fault to find with the ex-senator
The features of the Senator'S game was
the fielding of Cassidy and Mccormick and
the batting of Donovan. the latter getting
two doubles out OF four times at the bat

Panamans Object to American Control.

cabIegram from Panama last night
says: News that steamers sailing from La
Boca must receive their clearance papers
from the United States authorities has
caused an unfavorable impression here. I'm
til this order was issued all steamers,
though unloading at La Boca. were re-
ceived and dispatched by the Panaman au-
thorities The newspapers in commenting
on the order consider it as a misinterpreta-
ton of the canal treaty, unnecessary, and
as tending to create dissatisfaction here.
Another matter that is being widely dis
cussed is how Panama can replace the reve-
nue. which the republic will lose If goods
from the United States are allowed to en-
ter the canal zone free of duty, which prac-
tically amounts to their entrance into Pam
anna because smuggling cannot be pre-
vented.
The people hope that a satisfactory ar
rangement will be made between Panama
and the United States authorities.

with her when she identified Jones, and he
made rush at the negro. The police, how
ever, were on the lookout for such a move,
