The Buckeye lad gave but one man his babe oa balls, struck three out, made two singlet, caught a high fly, covered first once, stole a base, and kept the seven hits of visitors -well scattered. It -was a great game Tor the tall sycamore from the Ohio Valley. The whole team seemed to enjoy the effeclb of a brand new elixir, as they played the game on tiptoes from start to "inish. BeMontreville, wretched iu Brook lyn, was as slick as a thoroughbred winner of a Futurity. Old man McGuire's right arm had a Fitzei'iimons' swing, and Ids throwing was exceedingly accurate. Three runners were caught at second Just as easily as a professional chicken thief plucks his prey off the lower roost. O'Brien seemed limbered op, and fielded his position iu Bobby Lowe style, aud his assist of the last man out was on a ball over second base. It was a rattling stop, and that he caught Shngart, a fast runner, made the play all the more remarkable. There was a big improvement in the batting oi the home team. They took Orth's measure early in the game and found little tiouble in cracking out singles, bunching their hits so nicely that in two innings they earned four runs. BeMontreville made the star play of the game in the eighth. He singled for the third time, stole second, and on Clemen tV low thiow went to third. Shugart re covered the ball, and while he was hold" lng it the little shortstop made a dash for home, and made it, Clements seemingly be ing asleep "Wrigley had only one chance, and that would have been an error but for Tucker's wonderful pickup. The visitors also played fast ball, but weic unable to land on Swalm's clastic enrves, imperceptible shoots and back-bending drops. Only in one Inning was more ttian one hit made. Lave Cross was himself at t-econd and for the first time in many moons the Quaker Infield made a double play, 6 hugart handling Abbey's grounder with O'Brien on fhst, and covering second on a run easily threw the batter out to Lajole. Kelly.the new umpire, whomGusSchmelz recommended to Frcsldent Young, offici ated, and had a number of very close plays to decide. His voice Is clear, his sight good, and he is prompt In making decisions. Several times the Quaker con tin geute&dnyed to protest, butthe youngster waved them back with a motioa of the band, ne stands close to the batter when behind the bat and immediately buck of the pitcher with a man on first If h continues to do as well as he has started out he will be a valuable acquisi tion to the League btaff.

A like ruml-er Were earned In the sixth on singles by McGulre, O'Brien, Abbey, Wriglcy and Swalm aud Tucker's clever sacrifice. In the eighth BeMontreville scored as aliove dcM-riued. 'NaMi started the third with a single over second, went to second on Clements' out to Tucker and Orth's drive for a base. The latter was forced on Cooley's hit to BeMontreville, Ccoley being out at sec ond on an attempted steal. Belchnnty and Lajole tingled in the sev enth, the former storing the last run on Cross' out ot first. The score: Washington. AB.K. H.PO.A.

Callahan continues to play in tho out field. Wrlgloy's batting was up-to-date. He is using his own Judgment Scrappy Joyce was on first yesterday and was the life of the game. J. Earl Wagner saw the game yesterday and was glad when his team won. In the fourth McGulre retiied both Dele hanty and Lajoie on sharp foul flies. Johnson played second yesterday, but showed that he is not the man for that territory. Four Jilts and one sacrifice In one in ning is playing ball like a champion shucker opens oysters. Ehugart played a better game yesterday than has characterized his work since he Joined Stallings' aggregatln. Why a mnn in center field should make a kick about a decision he did not see, Is beyond the comprehension ot the average crank. Swaim's second single fell In short left field Just out of reach of Belehanty, Nash, and Shugart, all three of whom weut for the ball, leaving third uncovered. It was a regular Philadelphia play. Selbach made a clever catch of Shu gart's short fly after DcMontreville had about made up his mind to takelt. How ever, Tom Brown yelled Selbach sharply and the lithe inflelder quit suddenly. Four League clubs are after Eagen, the second baseman of Syracuse. Eagan was with the St. Louie Browns in the Brother hood year. He has played fast ball this year, and his hitting has been exceptlon aUy good. " - MAGNATES ARE TO BLAME They Are Resposiblo for the Umpire Problems; Club Owners 31nst Back Up Presi dent Yon 115 or Ho Can J3o Nothing. 1 The umpire question Is'the one important toplo In ba&cball circles. The Times was early in the field, condemning the prac tice of blackguards and thugs who are masquerading as ballVplaO'crB, and who have unstintedly abused every umpire that offieiatfd. The Ner York Evening Tele gram very bensibly intWsed what The Timeshas udvocated. Amongother things, it says: ' "Every winter the League magnates get together and try to dp,. nothing which will put a stop to rows on the ball field. As far as theory go'es, they arrive at conclusions which are all right, but when the time comes for a ymctjcal illustration or their views, matters are no better than they -were before. For some reason or other, the scenes on the-field this year are fiercer than ever Uerore. And who is to blame? Why, the poor umpire, is the cry, not only of the crankb, bu-t of the players and bomo of the magnates as well. "The umpire is the bane of the ball player's existence. If it were not for him, every team would win the pennant, to hear the members of each team talk. Whenever a team forges to the front, the other teams immediately tell their friends that the umpires are favoring that team. "Nine out of ten persons who go to n ball game think that the captain of a team has the right to kick at a decision of the umpire. Such is not the case. The rules distinctly state that no player bhall ques tion anj decision, and the captain nhall question a decision only when an Interpre tation of the rules is Involved. Were these rules enforced there would.be no disgraceful scenes on the field. "Nearly every time an umpire gives a clohe decision the players of one or the oihertcanifoirroundblni. The players know that they can gain nothing by such ac tions, us the decision given cannot be changed But they Imagine that they can K-urc him Into giving them the best of the next derision. " 'Nick Young's resignation as a Gov ernment clerk so that he can pay all of his attention to the affairs of the National League shows that matters have reached a crisis. It Is the custom of youngsters who have Just broken Into the game to have.a fling at the venerable League president Whenever their tean does not get every thing In eight from the umpire. What they want Is for thejudge or play to give the game to them. Tim Hurst once remarked that the most kicking came from 'bum' p'ayers, who became crazy when they saw thev wi-re not good enough to win a game on its merits. "PreMdent Young might Jut as well have held his Government position. He can do nothing when the players are backed up by some of the magnates. Umpires cannot give both teams tha b3st of a close decision. I have seen our team get the worst of de cisions and lose when we'shouldhavc won, Eald J. Earl Wagner, of the Washington club, to me the other day.'I have also seen our teaj get the bsst of decisions and win when I thought the other team wasentitled to tho victory. The whole, thing equalizes itfelt, however, during the season.' ' 'And 1 want to say,' continued Mr. Wagner, 'that President Young Is the foun dation Gtone of baseball." Tho National League will never realize his worth until he steps down and out." "The majority of players are so bold as to assert that they are entitled to the best of it at home They do not want au umpire to do his duty. It they do not get the best ot it they are usually backed up by the officials of the chib, who tele gran'i to President Young, protesting the umpire. "In one city every man on the staff has been tried, and every one was protested eviceptone. Strangxasit may appear, the club l.'ul no use for such, stanch men as Lynch. Emslie and Hurst. The weaker umpires want to holdXhelr positions. They do not warn to take the bread aud butter out of their mouths, and so, in order to curry favor, they are apt to give the home team the best of It. "The rules are all right as they stand. They provide for decorous conductof play ers on the field. There would be no rows and the umpire's lot would be far more con genial were, tome of the magnates not engaged In attempting to browbeat and terrorize the umpires. Matters will go on Just as they are, notwithstanding what President- Young may do, as long as some of the magnates continue their presentatti tuile. Thrse magnates and the players aro responsible, not the umpires." THIltD WEEK AT SARATOGA. Cleophns Beats the Truck Kecord for Five Furlongs. Saratoga, Aug. 9. The third week of the racing season opened with an un clouded sky, a fast track, and a large attendance of spectators. The opening dash of five furlongs suffered most by the withdrawal of seven of the dozen entries, but the race was. a remarkable one. Cleophus beat the favorite, Rodermond, home by a neck, in time that knocked all preceding records on this track, viz.: 1:00 3 4; the last furlong being run In 11 1-4 soconds. Hundball was a 1 to 4 favorite and the plungers went down with him. The third favorite to go down was Mike Dwyer's gold brick, Ben Eder. Mr. Belmontfa filly.
