EGAL Dressing Is a two-miniuteshine. And the lustre stays. The heat of the foot evap orates the natural oily moisture of the leather. The wrong dressing is the turpentine-loaded paste the boot-blacks use. It parches and burns out what little life the leather may have left. The right dressing sinks in and renews it.?And it takes a brilniant burnish.

IS .235 A bane ball volcano broke loose at Co lumbia Park. Philadelphia, at exactly 4.03 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The eruption oonslsted of four slashing base hits as fast as they could belch their way past the in fielders. Ed Dunkle stirred up the lava in the Ath letics' bats and the eruption became so fre quent and fierce that when four of them occurred in succession the big twirler was told to go over to the Senators' bench and keep guard over the ice cooler. As Dunkle has already made his job for the summer secure by winning the only game yet credit ed this season to Washington, the halo which has been with him ever since he per formed the feat still surrounded his brow as he strode off the scene. Patten took Dunkle's place. After that the eruption of base hits became less fre quent and the Athletics reserved their strength for this afternoon. Following Dunkle's disappearance the game became a monotonous affair. All the spice of un certainty had been taken out of the game in about one minute and forty-seven sec onds. and Mack's men devoted their atten tion to showing the Senators a few tricks in base running. First, Davis enlivened the proceedings for the 3,054 spectators by running half way between third base and the home plate. Stahl had the ball at the time, but he sent it to Coughiin at third base too quickly and Davis scored before Coughiin could relay it to the plate. Later on, when the crowd hungered for something of interest. Davis stood in the" coacher's box and put Murphy up to an- j other trick. Twice Danny started for sec ond base at full speed. Klttridge each time shot the ball to Moran, but Murphy stopped half way between the bags and doubled on his tracks. Each time Danny got hack to first base before the bewildered Moran could get the bearing of the base runner. Plank completely puzzled the Senators I for the first seven innings. Then he eased ] up and they managed to make the score ' look a little respectable. Malachi Klttridge, who. with Selbach, has been traded to New York for Beville and Anderson, had several opportunities during the afternoon to dis tinguish himself. On each occasion, how ever, Malachi concluded not to add to the ? luster of his achievement last Saturday, when he refused to be fired from his Job. Almost any player would have been pleased at the notice Kittridge got, but Malachi is not one of the kind that permits himself to be driven from his comrades when they are in distress. The Athletics "laid off" four slashing hits at the start of the game. Hoffman hit the first ball pitched for a single and came home at express speed on Pickering's triple to center. L. Cross sent Pickering home with a single and Davis slammed an other safe drive Into left field. Then Dun kle was succeeded by Patten. The latter was very nervous over suc ceeding such a famous youth as Dunkle ind he showed it on the first play. Seybold bunted and Patten fumbled the ball. 8ev bold was safe at first base and Davis turned his trick of getting Stahl rattled. Harry scored on the play, and the excite ment subsided until fhe third inning. Then Davis. L. Cross and Seybold each hit for two bases and two more runs went over the plate. Powers scored In the fourth. He opened the Inning with a safe drive, which Cassidy fumbled long enough for him to reach second. Mike scored on a single by Plank, followed by Pickering's out. The Senators broke their procession of ciphers In the eighth, seorlng two runs on singles by Cassidy and Drill*and Selbach's double. Patten made the circuit in the ninth on his triple and Moran's out. The score: WASHINGTON. AB. R. H. PO. A. E. Moran. sa 5 0 1 3 4 0 Cassidy. ef 5 1 1 3 0 1 Drill, rf 4 I X 0 0 0 Selbach. If.

CLEVELAND'S FIFTH STRAIGHT. ~ i j Earle Moore Pitched His First Game and Was a Puazle. Cleveland playing at home had no trouble In making It five straight from Detroit yesterday afternoon before a small crowd. Mullln was wild during the first four Inn ings. while his support was ragged. It was Moore's first game of the season, and, al though wild, held Detroit down to four hits, three of them scratches. In the third inn ing Moore retired Barrett, Mclntyre and Carr on strikes on ten pitched balls. At times the fielding was gOod, Cleveland hav ing three double plays.

Magnate Dreyfuss Will Give $28,000 for Two Pitchers. A special from Pittsburg says: Two bun dles of $1,000 each rest in a Pittsburg bank for the man who will land two certain pitchers for Pittsburg, and the clubs who give up these pitchers can also divide 125,000. Pittsburg wants its fourth pen nant. The pitchers wanted by Dreyfuss are stars. The name of Matthewson of New Tork has not been mentioned by the Pitts burg people. It is understood that Pitts burg will give $25,000 for him with a three year contract. Among those whom Dreyfuss needs, and for whom he seems willing to pay *12,500 apiece, are Halm of Cincinnati, Bernhardt of Cleveland, Mullln of Detroit, Toung of the Boston Americans, Fraser of the Phila delphia Nationals, Waddell of the Athletic, Weimer of Chicago, McGlnnlty of New York and two others whose names have not been made known. In addition, Pittsburg will pay handsome ly for Chech of St. Paul. 'The reason for our poor showing so far this season Is because the men are not In shape," said Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburg Base Ball Club yesterday. "And the reason the men are not in shape Is because we had so little good training weather at Hot Springs and so little after we got back and since the season opened. Where other teams had good weather in the south we had only six good playing days. Last year we had more good weath er than any other team. This year It was our turn to get bad weather. In the last ten days we struck rain for a week. But we are not making excuses, and we are not asking for or entitled to any sympathy. We will win the pennant this year Just the same. "The direct cause of our losing so many games Is because the team has not been hit ting. It has not been hitting because of the bad weather which kept the men from get ting into condition. Wagner. Clarke and Sebrlng are not in good shape for the game." CHESS MASTERS' TOURNEY. Janowski and Marshall Still Tied for First Place. At the conclusion of the ninth round of the international chess masters' tourna ment, In progress at Cambridge Springs, Pa., yesterday, Janowski and Marshall re mained tied for first place, while Lasker Is third. The latter In turn leads Teich mann, who leads Showalter In the race for international chess honors. Play in the round was remarkable in more than one way. Barry's improved form In drawing with Schlechter, Hodges' downfall against Marshall, after the former had good win ning chances, and Janowskl's brilliant and dashing style against Napier were very In teresting Incidents. Delmar, too, gave Marco no end of trouble for several hours, while Lasker won a game against Tschig orln which the latter ought to have at least drawn. Yesterday's results In detail: Lawrence beat Mieses In a Sicilian de-1 fense after flfty-slx moves, the latter los ing a pawn In the middle game. Schlechter and Barry drew a Petroffs defense after forty moves. Telchmann and Plllsbury drew a Petroffs defense after forty-eight moves. Hodges lost to Marshall in a Ruy Lopez, after thirty-five moves. Showalter and Fox adjourned a Sicilian defense after forty-nine moves. Janowski beat Napier In a queen's pawn opening after thirty-two moves. Delmar and Marco adjourned a double Ruy Lopez after fifty-one moves.

Drake's three-year-old Jocund had a walk-over In the first race at Morris Fark yesterday afternoon the sec ond event was cut In two, | making a full program of seven races. It was a profitable day for the followers of form, as three fa vorites r.nd three second choices came home with th?i money. With Hurstbourne withdrawn from the Crotona handicap at six furlongs on the J Wither? course, M. Corbett's Hurst Park, who won the Toboggan on Saturday, was the talent's selection, although he went up to 0 to 5. John A. Drake added Savable, 132 pounds up, and High Chancellor. 120, the pair receding to 5 to 1, the same price being quoted r.gainst James R. Keene's Kohinoor. R. T. Wilson jr.'s, Dolly Spanker went up I to 8 to while Lux Casta was backed down to those odds from twelves. The Ltart was excellent. Redfern took | Dolly Spanker to the front, with Lux Casta and Kohinoor close behind. Odom took hold of Hurit Park and raced along on the out side !n fourth tcsition. At the turn Dolly Spanker had a lead of three lengths, but when the head of the stretch was reached Odom went to work with the favorite. It was an uphill task, but Hurst Park was equal to the emergency and. ridden out, he took the race by two lengths. Dolly Spank er hung on to the end, beating Kohinoor | half a li-ngth. The tlmi> was 1:14. James R. Keene's Delhi, by Ben Brush? I Vera, convinced the sharps that he bids fair J to be a crack three-year-old, by making all the runnnlng in the handicap at a mile and beating Hurstbourne by three parts of a length a drive. They met on even weights accord'ng to the scale, Delhi being favorite at 3 to 1, while Hurstbourne went back in the betting from 3 to 1 to sevens. Himself. 15 to 1, who hart a big pull at the weights, ran third, three lengths back. Lord Badge. Jacquin, Gettysburg find Buttons, all lib- j orally backed, were badly beaten. Jacquin was killed off by thj winner In the first three-quarters of a mile. The time was I 1:40%. M. Corbett's Dazzling, who ran In Eng land last year, was a hot favorite In the fifth race, at seven furlongs. Withers | course. But she had little of her old speed and was never dangerous. H. B. Duryea's ] Mineoli. 5 to 2. feconl choice, was an easy | winner by a length. E. E. Smathers' Witch craft, i> to 2, running second, four lengths before Thistle Heather, 10 to 1, who was in | front to the stretch. The time was 1.28. Another disappointing favorite, also from the Corbett stable, was the English-bred horse Out of Reach. He carried a ton of money at even money. This event was over the Eclipse course, and the favorite was knocked back In a bumping match not long after the start. Fine Art, 10 to 5, was In front always anl won in a gallop by five lengths. Ascetic, 20 to 1, nipped the place from Bound Brook, 6 to 1, In the last jump. The time was 1.14%. Muozou, second choice, and Merry Lark, favorite, won the second and third races, respectively, for two-year-olds at four and a half furlongs. Eclipse course. Muozon beat J. G. Follansbee'3 Little Buttercup, 10 1 to 1, handily by a neck, with the favorite, Metropole, third, a head back. Merry Lark won cleverly from David Gideon's Sports man, 7 to 1. by two iengths, with John E. Madden's Judas, fi to 1, three lengths away. The track was good in spite of the morn- j ing's rain and the attendance was about 10,000. BROOKLYN HANDICAP. Great Race Promises to Be the Best of | the Season. As the situation now stands, the Brook lyn handicap, run on May 36, the coming day of the Brooklyn Jockey Club's spring meeting at Graveaend, is likely to prove the beat horse race of the year, not barring the Suburban or the $50,000 Grand Republic at Saratoga. With the exception of Water boy, all the best handicap horses now in training are entered in this popular fixture, and, what la more, the prospects are that j the greatest of them will face the poet. E. E. Smathers' great five-year-old McChee ner to top weigh* at 120 pound*, and Frank Baylor, "Big Mao's? trainer, sayshe Will -surely i tart- v -v Next comes Hermit, the champion three year-old two yearVa*?^fc,r which ?. R. Thomas paid |80,000t litf pounds are al lotted to him. A short time ago it did not look as if Mr. Thomas could get Harm Is to the Brooklyn po*^ Jlut the arrival of warm weather has worked. woq$srs In the son of Hermence, who Is ??w coming to band un usually fast. There was-some thought of starting him In the Metropolitan, but that was abandoned with the plan of running him in the Brooklyn handicap. Disappoint ments come swift on the turf, and Hermls may not be able to-face the flag In the seo ond of the season'#'great classics, but to day he may be written ?wn as an almost sure starter. *1 . , Africander, winner of last year's Subur ban and Lawrence Realisation, heads the list of four-year-olds, with 126 pounds. Af ricander Is within a few days of a race. He will be dropped into some races toward the close of the Morris Park meeting, with the view of preparing him thoroughly for the Brooklyn. Irish Lad, winner of the Metro politan. will, of course, fulfill his Graves end engagement, picking up 125 pounds and penalties. If no other thoroughbreds were to answer bugle call this quartet would furnish one of the most remarkable battles in the history of the turf. By the official handicappers. by the keen turfmen and by observant race-goers they are ac knowledged to be the greatest, with the ex ception of Waterboy, in the older division, and so evenly matched as to leave any contest in which they measured strides in doubt to the very last moment. McChesney, Hermls, Africander, Irish Lad?what lover of the "sport <JT kings" would not travel half way across the con tinent to see them battle? Just at present In the future books McChesney and Afri cander are split first Choices at 8 to 1, while 10 to 1 Is quoted about Irish Lad and 20 to 1 about Hermls. But Irish Lad's grand vic tory in the Metropolitan and the knowledge that Hermls is almost sure to run will in duce a heavy play on them, and It would not be surprising at the end of this week to see Irish Lad an equal favorite with Mc Chesney and Africander, and the odds against Hermis greatly shortened. Nor in this quartet are the only high class racers likely to enter the Brooklyn to be found. The Picket, for instance, has shown some very fast trials, and is In point for the handicap. The winner of last year's Amer ican Derby, he would be a potent factor. Newton Bennington has Charles Elwood eligible, and Elwood will probaby run. J. A. Drake has several ellgibles, of whom Savable, winner of the 1002 Futurity, or Runnels, which ran a bang-up race at Morris Park, will be the selection. Miszen Is pretty sure to carry the colors of August Belmont, while to Toboggan, who was sec ond in the Metropolitan, James R. Keene will intrust his chances. Hamburg Belle, winner of last year's Futurity; Highball, the champion two-year-old colt of last sea son. and Orthodox, a rattling good two year-old last fall, are among the promi nent three-year-olds who will answer bugle call, and John E. Madden is quite likely to add Pulsus or Robin Hood to the company. Besides these are several others, but those already mentioned are sufficient to make this year's renewal of the Brooklyn the greatest In Its history. INTERNATIONAL GOLF. Miss Hlggins Makes Poor Showing on Scottish Course. There were upward of eighty contestants in the stroke competition yesterday prepa ratory to the opening of the ladies' golf championship meeting at Troon, Scotland, today. The contest was interesting, because for the past Ave years the winner of the stroke competition has .eventually won the cham pionship. Miss Glover, the Scotish champion, went the round In magnificent form in 81. easily the best score. Miss Dorothy Campbell took 86; Miss May Healet, the former champion, 87, and Miss Rhona Adair, the international champion, 88. Miss*Hlggins of the Midlothian Club, Chicago, was the only American competi tor. She played so poorly.that she did not turn in her card. BOWLING. Results of Games in Two-Men Team Tourney at Palace.

Senators close with the Athletics today and come home to meet all the western clubs, commencing tomorrow with St. Louis. Howard Wilson was to have pitched yes terday's game, but he complained of a sore arm and was suspended by Manager Dwyer until he gets Into shape to work. Case Patten secured a triple yesterday, which clearly demonstrates that the team must be improving in batting. A special dispatch from St. Louis dated Sunday night says that Patsy Donovan left on that afternoon's train for Philadel phia to Join the Senators. A report comes from Philadelphia to the effect that Catcher Bill Clarke may be traded for First Baseman Ganzel, but its authenticity is doubted. Clarke was In the city yesterday looking fine and will come over from Baltimore again tomor row. Still another trade la spoken of that Icoks good for both parties, Townsend and Stahl for Jack Haydon of the Baltlmores. Townsend and Stahl would be stars in the Eastern League and Heydon would fill up left field nicely, leaving Anderson to go to first. The trade of Selbach and Klttredge for Anderson and Bevllle was received in Washington yesterday afternoon with great favor by all the "fans." Anderson has alway 'been a favorite In this city and Bevllle was the best catcher In the South ern League two years ago. Neither man has been under congenial management of late and will probably regain their best form under Donovan. One of the loyal "fans" writes to The Star to urge Manager Dwyer to secure "Jocko" Halllgan. now with Jersey Olty. Halligan is conceded to be the best man In the Eastern League, but because he struck "Cub" Strieker some years back he has never been able to secure major league employment. Mike Donlln knocked down a woman In Baltimore, yet continues with the majors. Why the discrimination? The St. Louis Browns, with all the old favorites, Burkett, Padden, Heldrlck. Wal lace and Tom Jones, start a series of four games on the local grounds tomorrow afternoon. If the new men report here for Washington, It should be an interesting afternoon. Why is the Washington ball club like the new world's fair postage stamp? Because It takes a lot of licking.?Chicago Tribune. Ed. Doheny, the pitcher, who Is now an Inmate of an eastern sanitarium, has been formally released by Pittsburg. There is said to be no hope for his recovery. "Iron Man" McGlnnlty showed great nerve In pitching that ninth inning In St. Louis without warming up. A pitcher that can do this sort of thing successfully is invalu able. Chick Stahl got the first pair of shoes offered for the man who makes a home run at the Boston American grounds. Stahl's excuse, to Hughes was that he needed the shoes badly. But for Bresnahan and* McGraw the Giants would not have had a ghost of a chance to win on Saturday. Mac's run ning for Warner and Roger's batting for Taylor won the day. Montreal has been strengthened by the accession of Fred Hartman of the Buffalos, Catcher Jack Toft of Toronto and First Baseman Clancy, formerly of the Worcester club, who has got back from California. Since 1871 no run no hit games have re sulted Just forty-two times. In thirty three years of major league base ball there have been 23,200 games played. This Is approximate. From 1900 to 1904 there have been Just five no runs no hit games, or one a year. It is like pulling teeth for any team to win a game from the Boston Americans. The pitching staff Is a hummer, Criger is a peerless catcher, the ball has to be hit over the inflelders' heads to be safe and there are Dougherty, Freeman and Collins to drive an occasional hit to the fence. To all appearances, Kelster of the Jersey City was caught napping at second base yesterday by Joe Yeager. The umpire said safe, but said out a moment later on a second attempt to catch Keister. "He had me before, but not that time," was the somewhat original remark of Keister to the umpire. Hughy Jennings obtained his release from the athletic committee of Cornell University and reported In Baltimore yesterday to take charge of the Orioles. He practiced with the team and will from now on cover second base as well as manage and captain the club. He is In excellent shape. Tim Hurst will make his reappearance as an umpire next Saturday, having been as signed by President Polliam to officiate at the Harvard-Pennsylvania game. Pulliam now has a college umpire staff consisting of Hurst. Lynch, Smith, Gaffney. Kelly, Adams and Springman, anjVlt keep* him busy supplying umpires for the collage Manager Duffy recently wrote to Catcher Douglass requesting him to agree to a "Wonder What Hertz Will Say Today?"

Douglass refused to join the Philadelphia team or to be traded, saying he had been roasted by newspapers enough to last a lifetime. Ban Johnson was afraid the National League duet in the national commission might hand down a decision forbidding the New York American League club to play base ball-in New York on week days, too, if he stopped in bed for a week, so de fled appendicitis and the doctors to get to his office and head off any more "inside" work. Latham's umpiring was severely criticis ed in New Orleans In one of the games, and he ordered policemen to escort Arthur Gad mer, a base ball reporter of the Times Democrat. from the grounds on account of remarks Latham says were hurled at him from the press box by Gadmer. This is be lieved to be the first time in Southern League history that a newspaper man has been removed by force from the grounds. SATE OF PRIMARIES.
