TAKOMA DEFEATS WASH. GROVE.
Browns All-Around Good Work En-
abled His Team to Win by to 6.

The Takoma and Washington Grove base
ball clubs came together Saturday at
Washington Grove for the first time this
season and a splendid ten-inning contest
was the result
The grounds were somewhat slippery
owing to the heavy downpour which pre-
coded the game. and for this reason there
were some punk hits and few errors,
which would not have resulted had the
grounds been in better condition. How
ever, there was some very fast playing,
which kept the interest OF the spectators at
fever-heat during the entire contest.
Brown, whose clever pitching last year
won for Takoma the championship OF Mont
gomery county. was in fine form. and be-
sides pitching excellent game enabled his
team to win out through his own opportune
batting.
Zircle also pitched a clever game for
Washington Grove, while his batting was
feature, one of his three hits being
home-run drive which tied the game up
and carried 1t into the extra inning
In the field King, the Takoma second
baseman. clearly eXcelled all others, &C
cepting eight difficult chances without the
Semblance of an error
The Takoma team had In its outer gar
den two old war horses of high school
fame In Bob Purcell of Central and Dick
Senior of Tech. Both did good work.

GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
PLAYEDIN EASTNEXTYEAR

NEW YORK. August 14.-Before the fit
ting Of the players and golf officials from
Wheaton last Saturday after the amateur
championship, there was considerable talk
about the links for the events next year.
The officials were mute. but the drift of
discussion was favorable to either Boston
or Philadelphia course among the players.
The argument was the same to favor the
two places-that neither had ever had the
amateur and that 1t was for the good OF
the game to seek fresh territory each year.
Fred Herreshoff. who won the champion
ship of Vermont there, put IN bid for the
Ekwanok Country Club of Manchester as
the place. Several others spoke in the
same strain. among them w. ]. Evans. Jay
s. jones and Jerome D. Travers. The
Egans said they would like to visit the
course. Of which they had heard such good
reports. and T. M. Sherman also seemed
to like the notion.
IF the tourney is to remain summer
fixture" remarked F. Oden Horstman, an
unprejudiced critic. II have a strong idea
that Ekwanok should be the place. I
agree with the Oxford and Cambridge play
ers. who were here, that 1t is splendid
inland course"

PUGILIST ROOT THUMPED
THE NEW YORK NATIONALS

ST. LOUIS. August 14.-Jack Root, the
pugilist, whipped the whole base ball team
of the New York Giants on Frisco train
coming from Chicago.
According to the story current in sporting
circles yesterday, the New York ball team
and Root came down on the train Thursday
night, Root occupying a sleeper in the
Giants car.
When the train was hundred miles or
so outside Of Chicago a number of the ball
players got into a water-slinging fight
Root, whom the Giants failed to recognize,
demonstrated with the players.
Now, be 1t known, McGraw's crowd
doesn't like to be called" So bang and
a glass of water despatched itself all over
Root. Then bang" a great muscular INST
shot out and one ball tosser lay stretched
out on the platform of the car There was
a scurrying Of feet and considerable side
line conversation. Then Root proceeded to
cut loose in earnest. He thumped every
player he saw and is reported to have done
a great finishing job. He bobbed the con-
ductor as well as Manager "Muggsy' Nc
Graw and Secretary Knowles.
Peace, such as was possible, was restored
and the badly battered ball players turned
into their berths. An attempt to see the
conductor who was in charge of the train
failed but 1t was learned from one of the
gatemen at the Union station that there
had been a riot in the Giants car In their
ride down from Chicago. The gateman
says the conductor. whose name Is Le-
moyne, has told him that the ride was the
''rowdiest' one he had ever taken.
McGann and Dahlen. perhaps the two
most aggressive members of the Giants, are
said to have been the worst sufferers of
Roots humping. Dahlen did not play Sat
urday, and the fans Immediately came to
the conclusion that bad Bilr' had not re-
covered from the effects Of Roots beating.
Manager McGraw and Secretary Knowles
refused to discuss the train incident Pas
sengers on the same train, however, de-
clare that there were lively doings in the
Giants car.

senator takes a deep interest In the crops.
He has three superintendents. all of them
agricultural experts, and uses the most

wheat, nearly all of which has been har-

with visitors.
The road leading from Laurel to the
senator's home is a winding one and very
billy in some places Inc distance from
Laurel is about five miles.

THE PORTLAND EXPOSITION.
Tho Million Attendance Mark Is Pass
ed-Prospects for Success.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
PORTLAND. Oregon, August TO- 1905.
The great feature Of the week just passed
at the Lewis and Clark exposition was the
passing of the million attendance mark.
Portland people are jubiant and the expo
sition officials are more than pleased be-
cause they believe 1t means that the fair
will be a financial success. Many people
now expect the fair to pay dividend, a
thing unheard of in the history of EXPOSE
tons.
At all previous expositions the attendance
has been smaller at first than during the
latter part of the fair period. The record
of admissions so fa- indicates that the
Lewis and Clark exposition will be no
exception, for the attendance, except when
big events caused a spasmodic increase, has
grown steadily day by day. The popular
prophecy now Is that before the close of
the fair. October Is, the turnstiles will have
registered 100000. admissions.
