Philadelphia at St. Louis. The Yv'ashin.gtons will conclude their at home noting series with the champion Baltimore, commencing this afternoon, at 4:30 o'clock-also play tomorrow and Wednesday. Thursday, the Senators will open their tour or the middle West, at Pittsburg, and will then go to Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, and Cincinnati, In succession, making a total of eighteen games rala or other unavoidable ex Istencies not arihiug. The series with Baltimore, to be in augurated this artenioon, will allow the local supporter i-f the club to get exact lines on the team, and afrord an op portunity or Judging what can be expected of them on the Western trip. Should they give the champions hard rubs in the trio of games, whether they win or not, hope will be revived, and there will be anticipation of an even break n the gimes o be contested on the settlng sun side of the Alleglienles. It is like threshing old straw and re telling an oft repeated tale to hay that the Scnatois' present trouble Is due entirely to weakness with the bat. The pitchers seem to be in good form, and the fielding or the club ib gilt-edged. And while not accredited as sluggers, yet it is a fact that in O'Brien, Do-Montrevillc-. Selbach, McGuirc, Farrell, Mercer, Maul, Abbey and Brown, the team Is composed of a consistent lot of bitters and only need to focus their eyes on the ball to drive it out rarely. This im provement Is bound to follow, and perhaps may become evident In the Baltimore series, commencing this afternoon. In the gunic this afternoon either Mercer or Maul will be detailed on the rubber. Should Mercer get the assignment he will "pitch his arm off in the attempt to win from Baltimore. It is a remarkable fact that in the three years Mercer has posed as one of the great twirlers of the League and as often as he has been successful against other clubs, not for one time has lie defeated Ealtlmore, though he has gone In against them as many as a dozen times. He is confident of dispelling the hoodoo this reason, and if he Is sent to the slab this afternoon the Orioles will have trouble and plenty of it. Maul will certainly be used In one of the games either this afstcrnoon or to morrow. Al has practiced diligently while the club was away and has pulled off a lot of flesh as well as limbered up his "salary arm," He says he feels per fectly nt and Is ready to take his regular turn on the rubber. He will accompany the Senators on the Western journey. There was a great deal of talk while the Senators were in Boston or trades and deals. One gossipy fan told The Times that ho had it from the "inside" that McGuire and Cartwrlght would bo ex changed for Tucker and Tenny. That Tucker would be placed at first base and that Tenny would alternate with Farrell behind the bat. It would be a newsy story, if true; but it Is only chronicled m this column In order to afford the opportunity of saying that the fan is entitled to "another guess." In the past, or since the lengthening of the distance from the pitcher's slab to the home plate, It has not been the habit of the League's twlrlers to show up strong and effective in the early spring games. There Is a remarkable exception this season. The youngsters, and even the veterans, arc pitching July ball already and aie giving the weak hitters barrels of trouble. Whether this means a let down later re mains to be seen. The snowing thus far evidences- that either the twlrlers have mastered the in creased distance or that aware of the fast class of ball demanded by the public, have learned to take care or themselves in the winter. lu this connection it will prove inteross Ingto recall the length of service given the respective League clubs by the pitchers most prominent at this time. "Adonis" Terry, of the Chicago team, is the oldest pitcher in the League in point of service. He began work in fast com pany in 1684 and has pitched every year since then in major organizations. Charlie King and "Berry Wall' Maul are next In rank, havlug fir.st played In fast company in 18S7. King retired for two years, but during that time he did not play in minor league company, so that he may safely be considered as a regular leaguer. Cunning ham began In 18S8, and Dwyer, Rusic, Stivetts, McMahon, Foreman, Sullivan and Ehret belong to the crop of 1889.

The Baltimores are not so high that their wings- can't be clipped. The Giants will try to make a trade for a catcher on the Western trip. Bill Lange has rounded to form and is playing a gieat game for Chicago. "Sandow" Meitcs and Billy Hulen are putting up a great game for Columbus. With the exception of Baltimore, New York and Cleveland led in good fielding last week. Watch The Times' bulletin board this afternoon for returns of all games by in nings. Ted Sullivan run up against a stack of trouble in trying to play Sunday ball at Trenton. A large contingent of Faltimore rooters will come over this afteruoon to help the Orioles win. Manager Jimmy Rodgers expects that his regular short stop, Dolan, will be able to resume his position this week. Sam Thompson left Philadelphia Sat urday for Mount Clemens, Mich., where he will boil out for three or four weeks. The Baltimore papers say that Lynch is the only umpire in the League who makes Joyce walk the path of baseball rectitude. Perry Werdcn has worked the old hide-the-ball tiick successfully on every team that he has jilayed in Louisville so far this season On completing the series with the Sena tors at National Park, the Baltimores "will go toSt. Louis, opening with Tommy Do wd's BrowuB Friday. New York will open with Louisville to day. The contests between "Scrappy Bill" and hisformer pupil, Jimmy Rodgers, will be watched with interest. These are troublesome dollars days f jr Tommie Corcoran one hundred per week going to waste and little Ritchie playing ball like a regular League star. Jimmy McJames Is suffering from an attack of malaiia and cold. The "Doe" under his own care and by his own pre scriptions should be speedily restored to health. The Washington club returned home yes terday morning. They came from Boston via the Fall River steamer to New York and then over the Baltimore and Ohio flyer trj .the Capital. Mr. J.

Elmer Smith Avon this and many other prizes by making a foui-bagger. It is said that "Doggy" Miller's contract with Minneapolis calls for $2,100 salary for the easou. The fans throughout the country hope the figures quoted aie cor rectly, fornmonii popular players, "Doggy" is at the top of the heap. Pat McCauley, the sphinx-faced Hiber nian, who was a Senator in 1S96, agreed on terms with Manager Allen, of the Jletroits, nud has reported for duty in the City of Straights. Pat never talks much, but his work behind the bat Is very eloquent. James R. McAlecrof the Cleveland team, and Charles Snodgras of Akron, have pur chased a gents' furnishing goods store in Youngstowu, Ohio, and will take posses sion June 1. McAleer will finish the sea son with the Clevelauds-, and go into the store in the fall. Jennings and his hit-by-thc-ball specialty will be on exhibition at National Park this afternoon. The Herald gave the at tendance upon Saturday's game between the New Yorks and Brooklyns, at the Polo Giounds, at 18,000. Rusie was the mag net to attract the flow of 5 0-cent pieces. Allen is without doubt the fastest short stop in the Western League, or any other He plays a deep position, but the way he can close on a ball and snap it across to Whistler is a sight for the fans. Steinfeldt U only second to him, and the two cover a vast amount of territory. Detroit Jour nal, The Baltimores are seldom caught In an effort to take extra bases on hits They use their own judgment, watching the fielder who Is handling the hall all the time. If the ball Is out of sight they watch the action of the baseman who is wailing to receive the throw, and act accordingly. Shortstop George Davis, of the New Yorks, who Is otherwise known as the "young man from Cohoes,'' made rive hits off of Kennedy hi the game with Brooklyn Saturday at the Tolo Grounds four sin gles and a two-bagger. It was the batting record thus far of the season in the big League. " - Secretary HanleyMrRobisonnnd Man ager Tebeau say that Sockalexis is the greatest Indian thaj ever lived. In talk ing or the Indian Mrl Robison said that he was greatly indebted to John Ward in se eming Sockalexis. "Todayl considerSoek alexls the greatest fnd , of the year,'' con tinued Mr. Robison, "atrhis work has been better by 100 per cent"thanl thought he would ever play." The Brooklyn Eagle man sadly admits that "Those Baltimiires1 'could win games with a wooden man In the box. All they need iB somebody tofRet. the ball over the plate and they'll dolttiel rest. Why, they dlscount anything intoe League in ap pearance, batting, fieiqfng, base running and all-round cusseduess. They have the pennant cinched." Edward Powell, catcher and infielder or the ShamriKS, the crack amateur team of the city for the past five years, who was signed by the Taunton club of the New England League, asked Manager Irwin, several days ago ror his release on ac countof sickness, and Saturday he received a letter granting the same. Powell would be a good man. for any minorleagueclub.as he is a heavy batterv a fine catcher, in fielder and hase runner. Umpire Lynch did not increase his pop ularity with the fans of Philadelphia by his workin the series between the Quakers and Orioles which clos.ed,Saturday. The usually sedate Record threw the follow ing Cherry Sister bouquet at Tom's head: "Lynch completely lost his head yester day. After he was rob ndly hissed by the crowd he 'got even' By plastering the Philadelphia players -wfth fines. Every player who opened hlsmouth to Lynch afterward was 'soaked r Boyle' after the game said he was fined ?10 for merely looking at, Lynch when the latter made a poor decision on a strike while he wan at bat in the third." The Boston club, on starting on the Western trip, left Tucker and Stivetts behind. Come to think about it, why doesn't Buck Ewing make an offer for1 Tucker. Cincinnati would be wonderfully' strengthened by the addition of the ag gressive first baseman, who ran hit, coach and field like a fiend. It is a strange con dition of affairs and beyond all under-S standing, when such a player as Tucker Is forced-to the bench and virtually into rctuement. It seems that several mana gers are overlooking a bet. George Miller has made a big hit in Minneapolis, and has the rooters of the flour mill city at his reet. The Minne apolis Times says the following nice things about "Doggy:" "Every fan Jn Minne apolis wishes he had been the first to think or that name for "Doggy" Miller. Though the name is unusual, it Is the most apt of any on the scorcsheet. A face like the funniest of poodles, a voice like the, mighty mastiff, a gait like the shambling dachshund, but having spectl that would suggest a sewing machine: the only tr-iit; In keeping with the common tramp' dog is ' seen in his inbatlable desire to steal every base that is left without a strong double' guard. Aa a mirth-provider, he out- Lathams the only original Arlle, but as a clown, he is what so many or the dia mond clowns are not a baseball player ot the highest rank. When one notices his ?lrst sensational catch,' he might think It an accident, and the second might be put down as a coincidence, but on seeing the third and all the others, one must Inevitably conclude that he is the mo-t versatile player afloat, and as sure as the proverbial taxes. Wilmot has Anson's trick of 'finding' phenoms, but it Is to be hoped (in the case of this man) that he has not Anson's penchant for parting with them ror a valuable consideration." .WITH THE FIGHTERS. "Kid" McPartland and Eddie Connolly have been matched to box in New York May 31. It ib reported thafKld" McCoy and Dan Crcedon have beer, matched by Billy Brady to box ror a purse or $7,500. The new half-mile track at Bristol Is com pleted and It Is said to be very fast. It will be opened on Decoration Day.

His succesor has not been announced. Champion Pat Kaedy will commence the rTfmlnr routine of bard training today lu preparation ror his twenty-round contest with Champion Welter-weight Tommy Ryan berore the Ricnzi Club of Rochester, N. Y., on the night ol May 17. Billy Nash will handle Raedy and the program will be long runs, bag punching, boxing and wrestling. Raedy will enter the ring at between 152 and 15C pounds hard. He weighed 152 when he put Beckham out so easily, and says he was in the condi tion ot his life. But for Ryan he will put on a few more pounds. The Roches ter purse Is $1,500. There is- every prospect of a warm con test at the Arena iu Philadelphia tonight, when Owen Zelgler will meet Jack Daly, or Wilmington, In a six-round boxing Iniiit. Daly's recent victory over Mat. Matthews stamps him as a vastly Improved boxer, and he is In good shape, having continued In training since that event Daly is a hard hitter and game, and has put ui such cleer contests with McKeevtr and Matthews that Zelgler will be compelled to do his best to hold his own. The men box in the same style, and, while they are not quite as scientific as McKcever, they hit harder and are more capable or standing a fast bout. The Philadelphia man has had three weeks' rest since his last battle and reports himself as lelng in the best of shape. Daly Is well-known and very popular in Washington, and his friends hope he will get the decision over his opponent. A coriespondent asked "Macon" the rollowlng question: "In cases where righters have contested a second time, what Is the percentage of cases in which the defeated man in the rirst right has reveiscd the verdict in the second en cpunter?" The reply was as rollows: "This is a question that I am unable to answer accurately. From memory, how ever, I wlil say that, as a rule, the winner or a first fight generally van quishes his opponent In a second en counter." This is tantamount to saying that in all fistic encounters the best man generally wins. Tom Cribb beatMolyneux twice, and Tom Spring twice defeated Jack Randall twice defeated Martin, ne baker, and in the American ring Billy Edwards repeatedly beat Sam Collyer; Fitzsimmons has thrice defeated Peter Maher, who. In turn, has three times vanquished Steve O' Donnell. George Dixon has again defeated Johnny Grifrin There are, however, exceptions to this rule Tom Allen was easily defeated in his first fight with Charley Gallagher, whom he, In turn, conquered.

A Fan's Kind Words, for the Senators To the Editor of The Times: Now that the Senators have broken the hoodoo spell by beating the Bostons Satur day, It Is only reasonable to expect that wltli encouragement from the ball fans they will all get their eye on the ball and line them out as they did last season, and even better. I have attended nearly all the games at the park for the past thtee yeais, and it has been my observation that the players or our team do nor, get the encouragement Trom the ball fanswhlch they deserve. For instance, if one of our players makes an error or knocks a j-op fly when a hit Is needed, the fans immediately transfer their support and yells of en couragement to the opposing club and make ridiculous remarks against the Sen ator who, In their opipion, have s'nned beyond pardon. And If that home rooter who is so quick to condemn, would think for an Instant, surely his better Judgment would tell him that the player so of rending Is much more mortiried at his error over his failure to make a hit than the public can possibly be. For, as we all know, the belter the mechanic the better his MUniy. The same as to the ball player, wno is ever trying to improve his value to his em ployer that he may obtain more money for his services. Therefore, he isr always trying to do his best for his club The season is very young yet, so ansc. turn out strong to witness the games with the Baltimores. Let us give the Senators eeiy encouragement In our power, and if an error Is rnade.instead of indulging In yells of derision, give the home boys a yell to go "at 'em." It is my opinion, with en couragement from the ball fans, that the Senators, finding they have the support of the rooters, will go "at 'em" and bar out many victories before the end or the season. A.

Caltoraddresa HANLON, Lawyer, 1114 G st. nw. iuya-7t-era ' in the parish hall, or the Bible class, which a small number or the congregation attend, the rector went out of bis way to assert with vehemence that the negro who sweeps out the Church (taking the pains to glvo his full name) or any of his race had as much right to occupy any part of that church as anybody had: then went still further out of his way to state- that somo time ago a party of clergymen from New York went, on a special occasion, to tho Theological Seminary of Virginia and took; a negro minister with them, who "was given accommodations In the servants quarters," und with virulence of look and tone declared it to be "the most outrageous and disgracerul act he had ever heard ot In hislire." The rector was, or course, very sure of his audience, there being not moro than three or four Southerners present, and the proportion of Southerners in the con gregation being so small that the with drawal of. them all would make- no appre ciable difference in the size of it. As to the vestryman named, Wylie a person with whom I am not acquainted-and his free and impudent comment on the private act of another man's wife, which could In no way Concern him. bis conver-ion to the rector's views must be recent. Judging from his assertion made iu the presence ot witnesses the first time that a negro preached in St Mark's, when a large num ber ot negroes attended: "It was not us; we had nothing to do with it. It was tho bishop. It Is an altogether exceptional affair, and may never occur again." Sup posing that the "we" included the rector, I and my family continued to attend tho pro-cathedral until we were effectually undeceived on the above-mentioned Friday evening, when we. with others, left tho church.
