| BOSTON, Mass, September 6.-Boston and
| Washington will play double-header to-
| day. This will be the last appearance of the
champs for a week, and they want to make
a good impression on the home fans before
| they leave home.
| The Bostons are playing just as hard
against the tailenders as they will against
! the Highlanders next week. They don t
let up minute, and judging by their
| present gait they won't have any trouble
| winning the remaining games in this city
/ from the Senators.
Tanrehill and Dineen will most likely
| figure on the firing line for the home team,
| while Patten and Townsend will be sent to
! the box for the visitors. fanny and Big
| Bill are in the best form at present of any
of the Boston pitching staff, and they can
! be depended to take a couple of falls
out of the unfortunate low-notchers. fanny
| is in great shape these days. He has only
| lost one game in eight. and says he is going
| to start another string of victories. Dineen
| after the injury to his ankle, was not doing
| very good work. However, he has now
| gotten over all the effects of his sprained
ankle and is twirlng the best game of the
season.
The Washingtons were easy picking in
two games yesterday. They started off in
the forenoon game as though they were
going to accomplish something and then let
up, and it all off but the chalking UP
Of the final scose. The champs hit like
fands, and registered twenty-five hits in
tha two games for a total of forty-three
bases The visitors got eighteen hits, with
a total of twenty-eight bases in the two
games.
The score of the first battle was IL to s.
while the second contest resulted to 3.
When the tailenderS scored three runs in
the forenoon, including two homers. the
fans thought it was all over for the home
team. Many suggested that they were on
another slumpng tour. However, they soon
got together and whaled the ball for keeps
Tom Hughes was hit all over the lot, while
after the early periods the Senators did
not seem able to bunch their hits off Winter.
In the afternoon Wolfe was pounded all
over the lot. and he was obliged to retire
in favor of Jacobsen after the third inning
Gibson was hit hard in the seventh the
only inning in which the visitors batted
strongly. In this session they batted out
five hits. with total of eight bases which
Melted their three runs
The feature of the morning game was the
unusual number of home runs knocked

Both teams fielded raggedly at times in
the opening game. In the afternoon Boston
fielded remarkably WELL while the Senators
fielded rather poorly. The games werewolf

A dispatch from Charlottesville. Va, last
night says: Further details of the murder
of Mrs. J. Samuel McCue only add to and
darken the mystery which has surrounded
it from the beginning. They differ some

is now said that Mr.. McCue was preparing
to retire. and was taking off his shirt. when
he saw a man, whom he now thinks is
white, enter his room, carrying base ball
bat behind him. Before he could disengage
himself from his shirt he was knocked
senseless Just as he became unconscious
he heard his wife scream.
Recovering consciousness, he telephoned
to his brother, DR.. Frank c. McCue, who
lives near by on the same street When the

EXCITING BASE BALL.
.Takoma and Washington Grove Tie
for Championship.

The three strongest base balls teams of
Montgomery county were brought together
at Washington Grove yesterday and as a
result two beautiful contests were pulled
off.
It was the event of the second annual
field day of the Washington Grove Athletic
Association and the base ball games at
tracted widespread attention as 1t was
known that these three teams would battle
for the county championship on that day
The first game was between Takoma and
Wheaton and resulted after nine innings
of fast play in a victory for Takoma by z
to 4. The larger part of the credit for
Takomas victory over Wheaton goes to
Brown, whose effective pitching kept the
Wheaton boys guessing from the start,
they having only four hits to their credit
at the end of the contest. Back of Brown
the Takoma infeld worked finely, King,
GUIDE and Thomas making some fast plays
that brought forth the applause of the
spectators. Heavy hitting on the part of
the Takoma boys was also a marked fea-
ture of the first contest. In this line GUIDE,
Brown and Gosven carried off the honors,
each getting three safe drives.
The second contest was between Takoma
and Washington Grove, and resulted in
tie, each side having scored five runs when
darkness stopped the contest at the end
OF the ninth inning. This contest was the
more exciting of the two, as the score was
close throughout and both teams were kept
on the alert in order that some little slip-up
should not give the victory to the other
side. The score was to in favor of Ia
koma when the Grove boys came to bat in
the ninth inning, when with two out Nc
