This one-sided score was all the re sult of Pitcher Case Patten. The crafty southpaw was a little backward in his start, but whin once he had got into his stride, as the horsemen say, there was nothing to it. The Tigers are credited with eleven hits, six of which were made in the first inning, the other five being scattered throughout the remaining eight Innings. Patten has always been a puzzle to the De tioits, and his fiats of legerdemain were continued yesterday. His wonderful curves had the Tigers pulling away from the plate, and it is no exaggeration to say that even I'mpire Connolly was fooled, strikes being lost in at least seven instances, the sphere crossing the plate after it seemed impossi ble for it to do so. Back of Patten the only misplay was made by "Scranton Bill" Cottghlin, who doubtless grew tired of putting up a perfect game, and broke into the error column for the lirst time since he has relieved Wolver ton at third. The error was on a fast grounder that took a sharp shoot into Coughiin's mitt from an awkward angle, and btfore the ball CJuld be recovered the bat ter was on first. Kly and Ryan were the stars yesterday In the li?lding sense, sev eral stops and fly catches by this pair b?ing of the beautiful order, but Patten's pitching was so hard to hit that the chances offi red were for the most part easy. Roscoe Millar was on the rubber for the I>etroits. ar.d he was very w'ld, having five bas*s on balls, two wild pitches, and in ad dition made i'atcher McGuire's life miser able f,;r tw i hours in trying to keep the balls from going to th-^ grand stand. Casey. Eiberfeld and McGuire made errors on bad throws, and of ciuise this d'dn't help along the pitcher. These were the only misplays of the D Lroit Mm. Stnrted Off Like Winners. Front the way Detroit started off it ap peared as though another defeat was as sured The Sot: iieiis. Base hit after base hit was ripped off by the Tigers, anil it seemed impossible? to get in front of any b lis hit :n:o th" In or out fields. Then all at once luck t<?ok an important position in the con and the three De troits were re tired with only two runs chalked up to th<ir credit Jimmy Barrett got a two-bagger against the l<fi field fence fe>r a starter, anil Casey, Klhertv'd and llolnies singled, the first name el scoring.

While this e xciting work was going on KIhe>rf> id tried for home, but Carey Unci the hill to Cinrkr and the runner w is put out at the plate, a play that deserves brackets for its cb vi rt.'-ss on the part of the Senators' first 1-nseman. Harley continued the hatting, ge tting away with a bunt, but Gleason end ed the batting bee with a fly to Carey. Evened Up the Score. Although the start of two runs looked big with a pitcher of Miller's reputation working for the opposition, the Senators went right after the Tigers, and by fast work eve ned up the score. Gentle Jeems Ryan started off with a double to left cen ter. that Barrett made a gooel try for, but only ma nag d to get one hand on. Doyla did his best, but it was only a fly to Harley in left. "The only Del" then ambled to the plate and soaked out a double to left. Ryan scampering for home. Coughlin struck out, but Lee whip[>ed a liner over seconel and Delehanty scored. This showing put the crowd in good humor once more, ami from that time on it was all over with the Tig< rs, as Patten was going like the wind. In th third the Se nators'took the b-ael, makln? two runs as a result of bases on b I!- > Doyle anel Delehanty. Cotighlin's do the left field fence and Lee's long fly . r.ter. |- i irhth came the Tigers' Waterloo. Th. nat >rs mixed up their hits and bases on twills with the errors of the visitors. Doyle was the first up. and walked, and Delehanty singled. McGuire made a bad throw to second and both runners moved up. Miller followed with a wild pitch, and D vie scored. Delehanty going to third. Then "Old Reliable" had a passed ball, and Delehanty scorefl. Coughlin, in the mean while. had been hit by the pitcher, and went to second on !he passed ball that let "Del" in home. I?ee then singled and Coughlin scored. George Carey followed wi;h a tremendous drive to the center field fence for thre>e bases anel Dee raced home. Carey complained of a sore hand yesterday afternoon, and this hit must have made him wince. Kly was retired by Miller and McAllister, but Clarke hit safely intei left, anel Carey raced over the plate with the fifth run. Following is the official score: WASHINGTON. DKTttOIT. R.H.O.A.E.

Many Good Players Loaned to the Orioles With Which to Start. The all-absorbing topic among the Wash inton base ball "fans" Is the desertion of the Baltimore players to the National League and the probable outcome of the supposed shrewd work of the magnates of the older body. There is no denying the fact that the Baltimore situation is a tic klish one at present, but the chances of everything being righted by President Ban Johnson are the brightest. The different magnates of the American League are heartily in accord with the moves of their president, and it is more than probable that everything will be moving along a 1 right in a few days. Players ean be spared from almost every club in the American League, and from indications the w w organization will be stronger than the old one. Catcher Robin son will not desert Baltimore, and with this veteran at the helm much goml wiil re sult. It is not certain that players loaned to Baltimore at this time will stay there permanently. It is only a question of get ting a start and strength will come after ward. Reports from Baltimore are to the effect that the town Is simpiy wiid over McGraw s treatment and the chances are that almost any old sort of a team will draw out the people. The patrons of the game in Balti more have at last become aware of the fact that the little manager has been looking out for himself at all stages of the journey and the hero worshiping that they have been indulging in for the past couple years was all for nothing. The National League, or probably to speak accurately, Messrs. Freedman and Brush, made a big mistake in singling out Baltimore for a raid. McGraw's tactics had ruined the city as a money maker and it whs already evident that the other clubs would have to carry the Orioles along. Had Boston or Chicago been bought out a blow would have been struck from which recov ery would have been almost Impossible, but the sole result from the Baltimore attack is a few days' hard work for President Johnson and then matters will be as satis factory as ever. The disapproval of the methods adopted by Messrs. Freedman and Brush by President Dreyfuss of the Pitts burg club is a rift in the cloudy sky, and the reports current about the desertion of the Pirates to the American League may not all be idle rumors. Mr. Brush has al ways taken a particular delight in engi nes ring just such moves as that started in Baltimore last Wednesday, and while his clt verness is not denit d it is regretted that he cannot see that base ball is being hurt by just such moves. As to the players contributed to the Bal timore team by outside magnates, it can be said tlvut the aggregation looks fairly strong and only needs to work in har mony to win games. The local people are interested in what Manager Loftus will do. and he save out the lniormation last night that in addition to Catcher Drill, Third Baseman Wolverton and Outfielder Ryan or Lee may be additional contribu tions. Manager Loftus can be depended upon to look after his own team first, and whoever he ioans to Baltimore will as suredly help the birds and not weaken the Senators. American League Magnates Rally. The old Baltimore club forfeited the game to St. Louis yesterday and also forfeited its franchise in the American League by failure of the team to appear for play. This was exactly what Ban John son wanted. This afternoon the president of the American League will formally take possession of the American League Park at Baltimore, and a new team will play St. Louis. A company will be organized to run the game in that city, and to that com pany will be delivered the franchise ot the American League. The situation bristles with the possibility of legal complications, if these should be either avoided or successfully com'oatted the game will be continued and the sched ule in the American League played out. The team that has been ordered to repre sent Baltimore is as follows: Drill or Robinson, catcher; McAllister, first base; Williams, second nase: St lbach, left field; Oyler, third base; Gilbert,'short stop: Howell, center field; "Dick" Hurley or McFarlnnd, right field; Wiltse, Kaloll or Shields, pitcher. William Maloney, a St. Louis catcher, is also due to arrive there. Selbach will be captain. The board of directors of the American League meets in Baltimore today to bring all the power and influence of the org^iiza tion to bear to straighten oat the base ball tangle created by the raid of the National Leaguers. Arthur Irwin, one of the best base ball managers in the country, spent the day in Baltimore in conference with Johnson, and it is not unlikely that he will b- the next manager of the Baltimoit club. Wilbert Robinson arrived home yesterday and was in conference with Johnson. Rob inson says that he will either play in Balti more or quit the game. Robinson stated to Johnson that he had nothing to do wita the selling out of the Baltimore club. The only apparent danger to the continu ance of base ball in Baltimore seems to be the legal phase of the case. Johnson says that he owns the lease to American League grounds and that the seven play.;rs who have stuck to that city cannot be seized by the National League Interests that, have bought the majority of stosk of the old base ball club. The new club will probably be formed by the Frank-Goldman coterie. President Johnson's Opinion. At the Rennert in Baltimore last night Ban Johnson gave his view of the situation in the following way: "When the American League was ex panded into the east we provided certain precautions designed to protect our inter ests in just such emergencies as the pres ent. We formed a circuit of eight cities, each city representing, as it were, a part ner in a business enterprise. In considera tion of our granting of a franchise to any city, club or organization we Insisted that the absolute lease of the grounds In every city be assigned to me, as president, abso lutely. Now, this was one of the terms of the partnership?that each organization should surrender to the league as a whole the lease of all the grounds. In considera tion of this and other agreements we Is sued franchises good for ten years. "As to my controlling the grounda here there is absolutely no question, and we do not fear legal complications on that score. In passing by this feature I wish the public to understand just how the local club was organized. Messrs. Frank, Strause and Goldman put lip in cash approximately $20,000 to start the club here, and Robinson and McGraw did not contribute one cent. They were given their shares of stock for their services and the fact that they could operate the business, being base bail play ers of experience and recognized ability. It Is this stock, for which they paid not a cent, that they have sold to the National League. I control the lease of the grounds, so that I am master of the situation in the way designed when the copartnership of eight cities was formed. "Now. as to the six or seven players signed by the absconders playing in Balti more. These men signed American League contracts and not National League con tracts. and they cannot be compelled to play In the National League, and the old company holds no American League fran cblae In this city afi crflnot play in our league. Then. too. t* red especially sign ed to play in the cl^ an? la now no Baltlmopl clai owned by tfe wrecked company. We shall be prepared to meet them on legs* or any other grounds they may select. "X -would ratl?er Kkve Jn our circuit a small city managed U>y ^x>rtsmen loan a large city managed by men who are not sportsmen. We belUfe Jn Baltimore as a ba.se ball town. anal shAli do all in our power to protect the base ball Interests or this city." ~ BBIQHTqjr j(ACES. Six Favorites in Fwmt and Bookmakers Lose ^leavily. The sorrows of the bookmakers are many these days. Brlghtoh' Bejfch has been the scene of their downfall two out of three days in the present meeting. But all that the poor layers had suffered before became as unalloyed joy to what they endured yesterday. Every solitary favorite won at the seaside track. Not only that, but five out of the six second choices finished in second place. The talent simply could not lose, and as the heavy bettors coincided with the smaller players in their judgment the pencilers were routed, horse foot and dragoons. The misfortunes of the earlier days of the meeting had put several of the bookmakers out of business, and It is ?afe to say that after yesterday still more of them will temporarily retire from the high stools until they are a?le to resuscitate their bank accounts. The feature race of the day was the Test handicap, for horses three years old or over at six furlongs. Femosole. who equaled- the other day Voter's track record over the course, was scratched, much to the regret of the spectators, as also w?re Golden Cottage and Irritable This left Cameron and Old Kngland the probable contenders, and as the gelding was conced ing nine pounds to the colt, and Camcrnn had been working like lightning, it did not take the wise money long to flow in on the son of Meddler so that only a little better than evens could be had against him at post time. The Regent and Himself headed the field for a few strides, but after that O Connor took Cameron into the van and he was never headed thereafter, winning with ease by two lengths. Old Kngland came up under the whip in the last few jumps and nailed the place from Himself by half a length. The time was fast Hurst Park and Africander came together again in the fifth race, and, as on their last previous meeting, the victory was with the Keene colt, although he had to be forced to i a hot drive by Shaw to win by three-auar ters of a lengih. Hurst Park has now | beaten Africander twice, and been beaten [ by him once, so that between the two the line is plain. Injunction, Hurst Park's stable mate, was beaten only a head bv River Pirate for the third money The high quality of the race appears from the fact that the time, 1.12 3-.), was only two-fifths of a second over the track record, held I jointly by \ oter and Femesole. Hurst Park, a two-year-old. carrying 117 pounds, thus equaled the time made earlier in the afternoon by Cameron, a three-year-old carrying only 112 pounds. M,r Keene's Futurity candidate, Rigodon. made his first appearance in the first race and although fourth was the best he could do he looked like a racehorse of quality and. running green, made up a good bit of ground from a poor getaway. The steeplechase was a gift to Inspector Stevens, as it looked to be. He led all the way and won by five lengths. Hermis re appeared after a considerable rest and smotherod the three-year-olds opposed to him Lady Sterling closet! fast, and Just nosed Par Excellence out of the place. Rice putting up an able finish. PREMIER GOLFERS. Byers of Pittsburg and Reinhart of Princeton Look the Best at Glenview. Local golfers were somewhat surprised last evening upon reading The Star to find that Amateur Champion Travis had been dtffated in the big tournament at Glen view, near Chicago, and also that Wash ington's best player. Dr. Lee Harban, had at last been put out. It was the general I impression all over the country that Travis ? would be the man to carry, off first honors | at Glenview, but Mr. Byers of Pittsburg ] put up a masterful game, and the champi^ft'i had to succumb. Dr. Harban was the last of the four Washington players to be put out,, and lie was confronted by Chandler Kgan of Lxmoor. the player who later in the day was deflated by Mr Byers the mail who defeated Travis. Dr. Harban at tracted attention from the experts to his play up until yesterday, when he went off in his work, making Mr. Egan's victory easy. . J The results of the afternoon plav were as follows: K. M. Byers, 80; c. Egan. 83; H. O. Rein Kgan, &?; D. P. Fredericks. (hi. (r. H. Leslie, 'J2 (one-half over,); Louis James. ?<>; Phelps Hoyt. 84. SOME EXCELLENT SCORES. The Recent Shoot of the Eastern Branch Gun dlub. A shoot of the Eastern Branch Gun Club which took place on the club grounds near the Anacostia river back of the city jail early in the week was one of the most successful given In the history of the club, and some excellent scores were made. Clay pigeons were used, and each shooter had twenty-five birds. The score of Mr. Hawn was 24, and Messrs. McCartney and Bes sellevre tied for second place, making 2.5 each. Other members of the club made scores above 21). The Kastern Branch Gun t lub is less than a year old. but has a constantly increasing membership. Its club are we" fitted up for the purposes 01 the club and shoots are held several times each week. Interstate Tennis Tourney.

Magnate Dreyfttss disapproves. President Barney Qreyiuss of the Pitts burg club has declared himself against the New York move to Hbsofb the Baltimore club. He says: ""J It is a matter of sincere.regret that such tactics should have been used by any one with a NatJonat League club. I 1 Aay as a member- of tbe National the leaffue had no hand with reedman and Brush in "wrecking Balti ' afn against the gam shoe methods n? i?y ^ 1 y tho*e who made this deal.

Another Victory for Kramer. Frank Kramer defeated Iver Lawson by inches last night at the New Haven. Conn., Coliseum in the one-mile national cham pionship race. George H.

Albert Champion, the premier pace-fol lower, and his big pacing outfit of motor men and motor tandems, and his plucky compatriot, Bazil de Guichard,with an equal ly larRo equipment of powerful speedmak ers, reached the city this forenoon and went at once to work in preparation for the big r^ce tonight. Both men raced at Baltimore last night, where De Guichard forced Chnrp pion to break another world's record, that of a mile, which he did In 1.24. It was De Guichard also who raced Cham pion at Pittsburg Tuesday night and who compelled the great Frenchman to break the world's record held by Harry Elkes. On that night Champion went 41 miles yards In one hour, making two and one-half miles Albert Champion. more than Elki's, while De Guichard made two miles above Elkes' record. The French rivals fought like bull dogs every second of the hour, and it was anybody's race to .the er.d. When the bell rang for the last gap Champion put up a wonderful sprint and gaining the pole held his countryman off until the tape was reached. De Guichard has been making wonderful progress since his last race here and his latest contests with Champion prove that he is in the same class with the leader of the pace followers. De Guichard appears here in place of McLean, owing to the ac cident that happened to the latter which broke his jaw and has put him on the shelf for several weeks. As a matter of fact in his present form De Guichard will prove a much more satisfactory contestant, and if all goes well the race tonight will be of the halr-ralslng kind. The race between these two great riders at Baltimore last night was made In the presence of the largest audience assembled this season at the Harford Avenue Coli seum. Each heat presented a thrilling spectacle and it was the most exciting race of the year. World's records were smashed in the first heat and to add to the nerve racking nature of the event De Guichard narrowly escaped death The rear seat of the motor tandem which he was following fell off toward the end of the first heat and De Guichard ran over it. The collision sent himAvIng in the air and then he land ed on the bowl with great force. He es caped with only a few bruises. He at once resumed riding, caught his pace again and was cheered to the echo by the great audience. In fact, his formidable antagonism of Champion and his courageous resumption of his race won the hearts of everybody present, and all the time he was on the track he was the recipient of a con tinuous ovation. De Guichard's motorman also had a nar row escape, as in order to save himself when the seat fell back he boldly climbed up on the machine and hung there by main strength until the big engine could be slowed down. Had he fallen before De Guichard. instead of the broken seat, it is likely there would have been two men killed, as the motors were going at fierce speed in the eighth mite of the first heat. In addition to the principal event of three ten-mile heats tonight there will be a mile handicap numbering the best amateurs of the District and a pursuit race of an ex citing character and other events that will make the card unusually interesting. Grand Circuit Trotting. Eight complete races gave the o.OOO peo ple who attended the Detroit Driving Club's 'blue ribbon meeting at the Grosse Point track yesterday an afternoon of excellent sport. The features of the card were the 2.04 pace, left over from Wednesday, and the 2.07 trot. Dan Patch was an almost prohibitive favorite in the 2.t>4 pace, and captured the race in straight heats, with Searchlight second both times. In the first heat Searchlight ifd to the stretch, with Patch trailing Eiccnd. There McHenry let Dan Patch out, and he rapidly over hauled Searchlight, winning by a length. He won the second heat by two lengths, after trailing second three-quarters of the way. Lord Derby and Charley Herr were scratched in the 2.y7 trot, leaving only The Monk and Dolly Dillon. The mare opened favorite in the betting at $115, with The Monk at $100. Geers soon proved that the bettors' judgment was incorrect, for he kept The Monk in front all the way in both heats, winning the first one in 2.07. Both Geers and McHenry drove two winners. Another Cup Bace Probable. That there will be a series of races for the America's cup in 1SH)3 now seems to be an assured fact, in view of an order given recently to a block manufacturing concern at Providence by Sir Thomas Llpton. Work has already been begun for a full set of blocks for Shamrock II, now in storage in a South Brooklyn yard. It is the gener.il opinion of yachtsmen at Providence that, unless the precedent established in the pre l.mlnary preparations for other internation al yacht races Is set at odds, it seems rea sonable to believe that, if a challenge has not already been Issued, one will soon be forthcoming from Sir Thomas because of the plans in process at this early date for the fitting out of the old challenger. Junior Base Ball. The Washington Juniors defeated the Young Paciflcs in a seven-inning game by a score of 14 to 3. The main feature of the game was the pitching of Cantwell, who did not allow a run during the time he served the sphere. The three runs were gotten in the firsf inning. The Washington Juniors would like to arrange games with teams in and out of the District averaging thirteen years, the young B. and O. Stars preferred. Addreis challenges to C. B. Xcatman, 1013 4^ street southwest. Base Ball Notes. Detroit for the last time today and also "ladles" day." George Carey's work was remarkable yes terday, both in the field and at the bat. as his left thumb was badly sprained by Drill's wild throw in Wednesday's game. Delehanty, Lee and Clarke were the bat ting leaders yes*erday, each man getting two safe hits. St. Louis starts a series of three games tomorrow, the first being called at 3:30. JacK Doyle Is certainly putting up a splen did game at second base and has yet to make his first error. He covers lots of ground and handles himself with great con fidence, something remarkable when it Is considered that Jack has usually played at first base. Case Patten has still a very sore breast as a result of a troublesome boll, but It didn't affect his work yesterday after he got started. Billy Keeler la "dead sure" to be the first man In the National League to reach 100 hits. Boston is carrying six pitchers. Is Ban Baltimore, Md. EISEMAN BRO Seventh Street, Corner of E.

Perry Werden is threatened with release by the Minneapolis club. Thus will another picturesque figure of the old diamond be relegated to obscurity. Mike Kahoe started his carecr with t*ie St. Louis American League team most en couragingly. Out of four times at the bat he made four hits. He had four put-outs and four assists also. And this, too, after sitting on the bench nearly all season. Per haps Chicago will regret having let Kahoe get away. Manager Hanlon said yesterday In Brook lyn: "I see it stated that Joe Kt-lley is go ing to manage the Cincinnati team. The Brooklyn club has a contract with Kelley and, all reports to the contrary notwith standing. we have not given our consent to any club to negotiate with him. President Daly of the Players' Associa tion looks for a harmonious meeting In New York ? week from next Sunday, and no such bitterness between National and American League factions aa was shown at last year's meeting. There is talk of elect ing a National League player as president at the coming meeting. Daly says such a procedure would be quite satisfactory to him and might bring the two elements closer together. Hugh Jennings has bt* 11 named as a man who would fill the offlcf capably. Many of the players regard him as an ideal man tor the place. "Peace between the two leagues?" says George Davis. "No, I haven't heard any such talk among the players. How do I like the A-merican League? Fine. I am getting good money and working for nice people. The American League as at pres ent made up Is the strongest league !n players I ever saw. There is not a team in in it you can look upon as a cineh. and not one, when you go against it, that you do not feel that you will have to hustle to beat it I think, though, that the American League ought to adopt the foul-strike rule. I always liked that Tiile. It quickens the game and makes the batter more careful." History.
