double bingoes to the fence, Ritter, our shortstop made mess of another one, and while two men made holes in the air, two runs had come over the plate. Again nothing doing for us. Thackera popped an easy out to second, Ritter sent another to the same spot and he never reached first and Morris ended his work In the field and at the bat by striking out.
 Treat took Morris's place in tho fourth. He allowed but one hit which counted for run on some good play ing, but aside from this Treat held them well in hand. But three of our men faced the pitcher and they were all easy outs.
 The fifth saw three of the Newark team die quickly because of the good work of pitcher Treat and good play ing behind him. In our half Nichols managed to get Waterbury's first safe one but he remained on base for the others behind him could do nothing with the willow. In the sixth Newark did nothing and we managed to ger a hit when McAndrews touched it safe ly. The seventh again brought the trouble, for singles by Jones and Walsh and couple of raw errors by Mike McAndrews let in two runs.
 We had the first real enjoyment in our half of this inning although we scored nothing. Bill Thompson fur nished this little side issue. He took Sherwood's place in the field and when he came to the bat he was giv- en a rousing reception. He rewarded the fans by swatting the second ball good and hard and like shot the leather sailed to the center field fence. Here was our chance with two men on bases, for one had preceded Bill on base on balls. We were not equal to the emergency, however. and both men rested quietly on their bases.
 No more runs were scored by New ark for Fensk who took Treats place in the box held them down well. We managed to get one more safe swat but what's the use, we lost, but there was no disgrace in it. s4 ~. -

Dennings Handicap CaDtuseA by Daly
 Entry-Miller Lands Five Races.
 WASHINGTON, April Awhile the card offered by the Washington Jockey club as an attraction at Bennings was not particularly inviting, the races de- veloped good sport, and tho great crowd present was immensely pleased. Five favorites and a strong second choice finished first In the six races.
 The real feature was the riding of Jockey Miller. He had a mount in every event. winning the last i've races and finishing third in tho first. When he landed Sailor Boy two lengths in front of Peter Paul in the sixth the spectators cheered him heartily, and he was cheered again and cordially congratulated when he rode back te the stand to weigh in.
 The handicap at mile, which was offered as the sixth event. was the best event. Speculation on 1t was heavy, as good prices were obtainable against all of the starters. Every one of them was played, each having fol- lowing. The Daly entry, Sailor Boy and Amberjack, finally went to the post q bare favorite over Royal Win dow in the odds for the place. At the rise of the barrier Miller took Sailor Boy out to the front, and he was in no danger afterward, finishing eased up two lengths in front of Peter Paul, the old horse coming fast in the stretch and taking the place easily from Royal Window.
 All of the other races were won in hollow fashion, Monte Carlo, an even favorite with Blue Coat, taking the first from a field of fourteen starters, Lady Vera the second, Tileing the third, Paeon the fourth and Riggs the fifth.

BASEBALL NOTES.
Wasn't so bad.

Wasn't so bad.
 What a mighty. throng.
 The frog chorus chanted a mis- erere.
 Give the boys a chance to work out the kinks.
 Mike McAndrews will never play such a game as that of yesterday again.
 McCabe handled the stick like a good one. He ought to be able to fill the bill.
 George Lachance was not in play ing form yesterday and could do nothing with the willow.
 Nichols looks like another likely chap who goes at 1t the right and businesslike way.
 Terry Rogers ought to have done better with the stick yesterday. After handling a club all winter he should have been right there with the goods. A little nervous probably.
 Bill Thompson grew several inches yesterday after he made that terrific swat to the fence. It was peach and no mistake. Bill can do it right along and we expect to see him at the top.
 Thackera acts like the real goods behind the bat. He can throw well and that is one of the good things wanted. The new man, Barlow, who just dropped in, also did pretty well without practice.
 Ritter on short was not thorough success. He made a mess of the first one and the second one nearly took the top of his finger off, and he re tired in favor of a Newark player, as We were short handed.
 We have two corking good pitch CTS in Treat and Fenski, and with Cy Voorhees, and Rogers we will be pretty well fixed for slab artists.
 Newark has a peach in that man Jones. He can hit the leather and he can go after the high ones; but the star rObbeT of the game was Wagner at short. who broke the fans hearts several times.
 Manager Durant has selected Mike MeAndreVs 10 captain the Brass city aggregation. McAndrews was field captain of the MeriGen team, and showed unlocked for provess as a leader. He should make a good man for Durant. as he never shirks and at all times sets a good example foT his men.

 WASHINGTON, April 13.-No better events have been carded at the present meeting of the Washington Jockey club at Bennings than those offered, all of the six events being filled we'll and the sport excellent
 The first serious trouble of the meet ing grew out of the second race, two year-old event In which August Bel mont's Okenite was made an odds on favorite After committing what seem- ed from the stand to be palpable foul Okenite jumped out in front in the first furlong and won eased up at the end by four lengths. He evidently was the best horse in the race. So much grumbling has been heard about fouls in previous races that the judges took this matter under consideration. After a long discussion Okenite was dis qualified, Orphan Lad. which ran sec ond. being declared the winner. with Black Knight second and Bettie Lan- luc ucGlbiOn VI lhN 1iSW ards was received with cheers.
 In the opening event, a handicap at five and a half furlongs. Pater was made the favorite, with Bohemia sec ond and Race King third choice. That is the way they finished.
 Tickle closed favorite in the third, but Lackey was the better and won handily. Tickle got the place without extending herself from waddell H.
 Among the cross country horses which started in the fourth, a steeple- chase at two miles, there was little choice. most of them being green at the jumps. Fergus was made luke warm favorite, with Valley Forge heavily played. The latter lost all chance by falling badly at the Liver pool, giving his jockey. Donahue. nasty cropper. With Valley Forge out of 1t Yama Christy had no difi1culty in winning from the favorite, with Harry Baylor third.
 While Frills was the favorite, Adonis was played for 6 good thing" in the fifth, with Lotowanna as a strong choice. The last named went to the front at the rising of the barrier and held the position to the wire. High Brush got the place. and Adonis show ed
 The Virginia contingent made T. s. Martin the favorite in the sixth. but he was unable to beat Yorkshire Lad not withstanding the difference of eleven pounds in weight. MerlIngo. which was strongly touted to win. was able only to show.

A writer discussing various phases of the Olympic games, remarks that one result of their revival has been to rob the ancient athlete of his renovn. And then makes good by giving com parisons. We are informed that those much lauded youths of ancient en- deavor were not nearly such good men" as our heroes of to-day. Which all seems very revolutionary and up- setting to the romanticist. but very patent to anyone that has followed sports. The phrase ''swam the Helles- pont" suggests highest courage. re- markable endurance-until cold facts are stated, until one learns that the Hellespont has minimum width one sixteenth that of the English channel, the channel crossed in modern times by Capt. Webb.
 Then let us take the celebrated Mar athon race. when Phidippides ran from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to tell the great news, and arrived there and fell dead from exhaustion. In 1896 the winner of the Marathon race in the revived Olympian games, made the distance between Marathon and Athens in less time than 1t Is esti- mated the famous race of history was run, and though greatly fatigued at the finish, declared after an hours rest that he felt strong enough to run again.
 An interesting feature in our com parison is the part taken by Ameri- cans, an. intensely modern people, in the games of classic renown. A writer in the New York Tribune says: ''The Greek of to-day at all events has proved himself inferior to the Ameri- can iH the sport which Homer speaks of as the delight of the most ancient Hellenic kings. Greatly disappointed by their failure to capture the foot race prizes, the Greeks at the Athenian games of 1896 were certain of victory in throwing the discus. The Greek contestants, who preceded the foreign participants, made this feeling of tri- umph in the hearts of the Athenian spectators all the more sure. They
