Notes of the Game

Dillon, assisted by Cameron, put
through the most comical situation the
fans have seen this season. In the
second the gray-haired captain was
caught off first on a throw to the bag
by Lewis Cameron and McCay started
to run him down, and it looked like a
sure out for the Angel, when Cameron
suddenly slipped as Dillon was coming
toward him and the Oakland first base
man went down in a heap. The acct
dent occurred close to first, and no
one was behind Cameron, so Dillon
hurdled over the PROSTATE player ana
regained his base. Cameron was not
hurt and the bleachers had a good
laugh.
Koestner, Dillon and Smith made a
neat double play in the seventh, put
ting the Oaklanders out Of their bat
ting chance. McCay hit a bounder to
Koestner, who caught the batter at
first, and Dillon snapped the ball to
DR.. Jud, catching Hogan at third.
Beall let down little yesterday. He
was struck out once by Wigs and this
feat was greeted by cheers from the
spectators. He also failed to get hit,
but probably will make up for it to-
day.
Center Fielder Daley recovered from
his slump in batting and was credited
with two of the four hits made by the
Angels. In addition the fast little out
fielder ran bases well and made sew
eral good catches. He is thoroughly
reliable on the long flies.
Little Raglan, the new shortstop of
the Oaklanders has made several bad
errors since his appearance here, but it
is generally remarked that after he
gets accustomed to the fast company
this youngster will be some ball player.
He shows sign of considerable class
and Reidy will do well to spend some
time developing him.

in perfect style. The crowd, however,
looked for one or-m more of the mighty
swatS that have made GeSsier terror TO
local slab artists in the games in which
he figured an enemy, but the Doc did
not land safely once. Like all the other
Nationals, he was helpless before Brock
EFT in the first game. and out of four
times up In the second he slammed three
long flies, which did not happen to fall
into safe territory, and offered one pop
foul. Gessler stands well at the plate
and he puts much vigor into his SWINGS.

nightly to the locals batting strength.

struck out six men, and with the solitary
exception of Lelivelt in the fourth in
ming he caused every batsman to
offer comparatively easy chances to the
felders behind him. An error by knight
permitted Street to reach first in the third
round, and the latter took second on
Groom's sacrifice. but there he remained
while Yohe rolled out, Cree to Chase. 'Leli-
velt's nit was harmless because it came
after two We're out. and the runner ex-
pired in an effort to pilfer. The only cav

not of his own making. 1t was In the

Groom, then drew pass. filling the

speed and the runners were left when
Y Yohe placed a bounder in Cree's mitt.
| One of the star plays of the first game
was made by Mcbride in the third in
ming when he grabbed drive from
Brockett's bat far back of second base
and nipped the runner at first Another
ringer play by Kilifer in the fifth robbed
Knight of a sure triple. The fielder was
off on a dead run for the fence at the
crack of the bat and he took the ball
over his shoulder Yohe also contributed

Engle at the plate. Engle tried to race

Reisiing showed much class in his twirl
ing III the second contest. Only Once-in
the seventh-did he allow two hits in any

had not resulted in wild heave of
Chase's drive. Demmitt had opened the
round with a double to right, but he
pulled up at third when Nimble George
stopped the only Halls" hit, only to
trot home on the error. Under ordinary
circumstances Engle's long fly to Killifer

The board of governors has appropriated
1900 for this purpose, and the prelimi-
nary work has been commenced. Thirty
tons of pipe have been ordered A water
tank with a capacity of 10000 gallons
has been constructed south of the fifth
hole and plenty of water has been found
to fill 1t constantly. A pumping engine
has also been ordered. The ground for
the new holes will be plowed and seed
ed this fall. so that by spring everything
will be in good condition.
The abandoning of the seventeenth hole
on Bradley lane will give an opportunity
to lay out additional tennis courts or to
move some of the present courts If the
new clubhouse should encroach upon
them.
Mr. Alexander Britton, chairman of the
greens committee, and Mr.. E. NJ. Talcott,
a member of the committee and prac-
tical engineer, are giving their personal
attention to the changes In the golf
course and have entire supervision OF

TIE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP.
Rockville and Germantown Have
Exciting Eleven-Inning Battle.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOYDS. Md, September 1.-THE Wild
est kind of enthusiasm prevailed at Ger
mantown this afternoon when the Ger
mantown and Rockville teams crossed
bats in their effort to land the cham
pionship of Montgomery county before a
crowd of nearly one thousand persons.
So wild was the enthusiasm at times
during the game and at close points that
the decisions of the umpire, Wr. Warren
of Washington, who was selected to UNI
pire the game. could not be heard.
Germantown started the game by MAX
ing a run In the second inning. and a
punching of hits in the sixth with COM
edy Of errors on the part of Rockville's s
infield netted them five additional runs,
which made them six ahead up to the
eighth inning, when Sanders. the crack
Agricultural twirler of Washington. let
up in his work and was batted for five
runs. and again for one in the ninth in
ming, which tied the score.
Johnson, the well known pitcher of
Winchester, Va, VINO has made so en-
viable a record with that team, twirled
the ball in faultless style until the sixth
inning when he was touched a little live
ly but in spite of this made hit with
the Montgomery county rooters There
was probably no game ever seen in Mont
gomery county contested so eagerly as
this game today. Johnson had fifteen
strike-outs to his credit, while Sanders
had eight. Priest, for Germantown and
an Agricultural player, made home run
and cleared the bases. while other fea-
lures were a one-handed long distance
run and catch at second by Dawson for
Rockville and fine pick-ups by Murphy
and the catching of Meagher with an in
jured hand. Score by innings:

IMPROVEMENTS At
CHEVY CHASE CLUB
New Home to Be Built and
Radical Changes of
Golf Course.

good deal of interest is manifested
by the members Of the Chevy Chase Club
just now In the contemplated extensive
improvements both in the clubhouse and
the golf links and tennis courts.
1t has been recognized for some time
past that the clubhouse accommodations
are entirely inadequate for the accommo-
dation of the increased membership. par
ticuarly as an unusually large number
of the members have taken up either
visitors to the club. Even at this season,
when so many Washingtonians have not
returned from their summer vacations
the golf links and tennis courts are un-
usually popular, and, indeed. have been
all summer.
The board of governors has for some
time had under consideration a project
for enlarging the clubhouse property. a
commission of architects tmembers of the
club was some time ago appointed to pre-
pare some tentative plans IOr an enlarge
ment or remodeling of the clubhouse
There Is a good deal of sentiment con-
nected with the main building, which Is
the old Bradley farmhouse, and it is un-
derstood that such plans as have been
decided upon do not contemplate chang
ing that In any respect. The additions
which have been made from time to time
including the assembly room and the
main dining porch. will probably be re-
placed by low stone building con-
structed in old English style. with a ter
race down to the lawn on the west side

have been made and are under consid-
GRAFTON.
Golf Links to Be Improved.
For some time il has been evident that
the club has not made the best use OF
the land it owns for golf purposes, and
some radical changes have been decided
upon. Early In the summer Donald Ross,
the famous Scotch golf professional, was
here, and went over the links with the
chairman of the green's committee Mr.
Alexander Britton, and gave some very
practical advice as to their Improvement.
and Travis, too, when he was mere made
some excellent suggestions as to how
some changes could be easily and adj
vantageously made. Donald Ross was
subsequently engaged to aid the green's
committee in making ,these changes. They
provide for making the course about 60
yards long, not very much more than
the present course, but the holes are tn
be more equalized, making it much more
standard than II is now. The sixteenth
and seventeenth holes are to be abandon
ed, and the first hole will be a longer
one and the first green will be over to-
ward the present fifteenth hole. Some
new holes will be made on land now not
that thirteen of the present eighteen
green's will be used.
The principal improvement to the links,
however, will be the piping OF the green's.
so that during the dry summer weather
they can be kept in excellent condition,
