ID 29 .39*1 Boston 18 27 .S72 I'bila 8 31 .204 The Detroits found the Washington team quite an easy proposition Saturday after noon. In Detroit, on account of the master ly pitching of Donovan and the weak per formance of A1 Orth, the final score being 8 to 3. "Wild Bill" Donovan got oft well and went the entire route without a break, holding the Senators down to four hits, all of which resulted from bases on ball or er rors. In addition to pitching finely, Dono van soaked out a home run, and big Gre mlnger also hit for a homer, the ball going so far over the fence that It Is said to have landed in the state of Illinois. Orth pitched as though he had not fully recovered from his Illness, although his companions gave him gilt-edged support, not a mlsplay marking the work of the Sen. ators Orth lias evidently lost heart In his work, and It will take some time for the big fellow to regain his effectiveness. The Senatorial infield worked together nicely and put up something of a stone wall against ground hits, but the Tigers hit the Sal! so high and hard that even the outfielders had their troubles pulling down the speeding sphere. In the fourth inning Moran and Stahl secured their bases on balls, and. with two out. Clarke hit a Texas League single Into right field and both Senators scampered home. In the last in ning. Drill hit to O'Leary and reached sec ond as the latter threw wild to Carr, at first. Orth went out, third to first, and Drill moved up to third. Mr. Donovan then very obligingly sent in a wild pitch and the Georgetown boy crossed the plate with the Senators' third and last run. Detroit began scoring In the first inning, getting a single tally, and then added another in the third. In the fourth two more runs went up, and in the fifth tills scoring was duplicated. In the sixth the Tigers were content with a single run, and liun.if up a cipher in the seventh. In the eighth the Tigers scored their eighth and i last run, and the labor for the day was ] over with the Senators trailing in the dust. The feature of the game was a stolen base by Bill Clarke, who pilfered second in . such an audacious manner that Bobby) Lowe stood with the ball in his hand and I allowed the Baltimore boy to slide Into the | sack without being touched.

Griffith's foxy pitching, aided by superb fielding on the part of his men, proved too much for the White Sox yesterday at Chi cago, and tliey were shut out in one of the finest games of the season. Chicago was dai gemus only once in the sixth Inning, when Holmes drove out a two bagger, but overran second base and was caught before h? could get back. New York scored once in the tldrd round on a base on balls to Thoney, two outs and some lightning base rvnning. In the eighth Heeler hit for two bases and rushed home when Williams pished a safety Into left field. The game fairly sparkled with great fielding plays Running catches by Keeler and Thoney. a one-handed catch by Con roy and a great stop by Callahan were fea tures and kept the crowd on edge. The people broke down the fence between the bleachers and the outfield and swarmed out on the grounds after the fourth Inning. The score: New York.

As Sunday base ball Is not permitted In Detroit, the Senators yesterday took a fly ing trip to Saginaw and played the team representing that city. The weather was splendid and a large crowd witnessed the game, which was won by Washington. 11 to 1. Dunkle was on the rubber for the Senators and held the Saglnaws down to two hits, the blngles coming after a base on balls and allowed the Michigan boys to score their only run. Williams, who pitched for Saginaw, was hit hard in the first part of the game and then the Sena tors rested up in the last four innings and hung up a continuous row of ciphers.

At Georgetown Field, Saturday afternoon, the teams representing Kismet and District Councils of the Royal Arcanum met In a contest, which, as was to be expected, was one of great Interest In fraternal circles, the former winning by 8 to 4. The two teams are the leaders of the league, and the contest was arranged to help meet the expenses Incurred in the formation of the base ball league. Vociferous coaching was one feature of the game, being hurled at the players from the spectators, who lined both sides of the field In large numbers. Notwithstanding some loose plays, both sides erring to the same extent; bits of brilliant fielding and terrific batting crop ped out again and again. Manager Hogan of the Kismets had offered the players on his team, by way of encouragement, a handsome pearl-handled knife to the bats man obtaining the greatest number of safe hits. Up to the eighth inning four of the Kismet team had secured two hits apiece, but "Buck" Venable secured the price in that Inning by a terrific hit, good for three bnses, the ball landing In the road near the university building. To clinch the game, after making this hit, he pilfered the last sack?a bit of nerve and heady ball playing. Buckingham was slated to do the twirl ing, this being his first appearance on the rubber this season. His lack of condition was shown when District secured three hits and four runs off his delivery in the first two Innings. "Rube" Clark replaced him. and. In addition to striking out twelve men, allowed but one hit. Ashley, too. for District, had to give way In the third Inn ing to "Reddy" Wahler. but the Kismet boys took a great liking to his delivery. District's left fielder, Hoyle, made the star play of the game, catching a high fly, after a long run, which he pulled down with one hand. The Kismets made a regular merry-go round of the ninth inning, securing five runs, with but one out. when the umpire called the game on account of darkness, thus reverting the play to the eighth Inn ing.

A special from Harbin Springs, Cal., says that when the champion Jim JefTrles awoke yesterday morning he was not very much encouraged by the appearance of his Injured^ knee. But by 11 o'clock when the doctor arrived the swelling had subsided. Dr. L. Vlndlng examined it and made this statement: "Jeffries shows great improvement and I am pleased with his condition. I do not think the bruise will fester, and if it does not the champion will be able to do a little light work Monday. He has an elastic knee bandage which he will use between now and the fight, which I think will strengthen his knee." It is announced that the fight will posi tively not be postponed. Despite the objections of Harry Pollock, manager of Munroe, Billy Delaney, Insists on Eddie Qraney as the referee of the light, and so does Coffroth. The articles of agree ment stipulate that Graney shall referee the fight, and Pollock seems to be up against it. In some quarters the opinion prevails that Pollock is merely squaring himself with his other protege, young Cor bett. Manager CofTroth when asked about the referee question, said: "The articles call for Graney, and he will be the third man in the ring next Friday night." As the day for the Jeffries-Munroe bout draws near Interest in the fistic battle, with the heavyweight championship of the world involved, is becoming more pronounced, and the indications are that a record break ing crowd will witness the exchange of blows between the big fellows. Both men have trained faithfully and well. The champion, except for his swollen knee, is In particularly fine condition. When he began training he weighed 250 pounds. On Friday he tipped the scale at 234 pounds. The big fellow Is just as lively and as clever with his hands as ever. He also retains the hitting power, and seems as confident of beating Munroe as he is of holding the championship now. Munroe also looks well. Compared with the "boilermaker" he is a small man, al though he stands about six feet and weighs liX) pounds. He is quite thin and fine, but good and strong. "Jeffries will go Into the ring in the pink of condition," said Delaney. "He will en ter the ring a trifle larger than he ever was before but so long as it does not interfere with speed, I would not care if he weighed a ton." Jeffries has been doing his work in a sys tematic manner. He has indulged in a variety of exercises. The medicine ball, pully weights and lwxing gloves have fig ured prominently in his training. And in sparring with liis partners, the champion lias shown that he possesses all the speed and can hit Just as hard as he ever could. Munroe has been doing good work, and his trainers "Tim" McGrath and "Billy" Roach, are confident that the miner will make a creditable exhibition. He has im proved very much in his style of fighting, due probably to the fact that he has given boxing considerable attention since he be gan to prepare for the fight. He has boxed with as many as six men a day. While sporting men generally regard Jef fries as a sure winner, owing te his tre mendous physique, hitting power and ca pacity for punishment, they expect Munroe to make a fair showing, but they laugh at Sharkey's prediction that the miner will score a quick knockout. "BUI" Roach, Munroe's adviser, predicts that Munroe will furnish a big surprise to the sporting world when he faces Jeffries. He says that Munroe has improved a hun dred per cent since he fought Sharkey. He no longer has to get in a set position In order to deliver an effective blow. He can hit Just as well In moving around as any of the big ones, and hie victory over the sailor has given him confidence, which will stand him In good stead when he faces Jeffries. SUBURBAN COMES NEXT. Splendid Field of Thoroughbreds Will Meet Next Thursday. Notwithstanding its enlarged field stand, there Is good ground for the assertion that the Coney Island Jockey Club's officials will be at their wits' ends to provide ade quately for the enormous outpouring on Thursday next, when the twenty-first Sub urban handicap is to be run. Given any sort of weather other than a "nor'easter," and the record-breaking assemblages which saw the Metropolitan and Brooklyn handi caps decided will be eclipsed. There Is, happily, plenty of room on the infield of the Coney Island Jockey Club, and as the usual precedent will be follow ed of permitting the eager thousands from the field to overflow Into the emerald-cov ered area which has long ago been declared the most picturesque In America, there Is little fear that any one will be prevented from having as good a view as he or she may desire If the right points are chosen from which to see. This year's Suburban partakes very much of a sectional contest, because the Ken tueky-bred and Kentucky-owned The Pick et, winner of the Brooklyn handicap, will again be called upon to meet the admitted champion of the east, Irish Lad, together with the California crack Proper, as well as the fast Hermls. Even this quartet alone would furnish all the excitement that would be good for a New York crowd of racing-mad enthusiasts.

Carpets cleaned-Mattresses remade-Furniture upholstered earlier races, but this very fact will help to make it a true-run contest. Whether there will be a repetition of the Brooklyn handicap is a problem. Hermis' recent defeat over a. heavy track should not count against his chances, yet the feel ing prevails that he cannot yet be expect ed to go the full Suburban distance. But though he may not be able to win he may do just as he did In the Brooklyn handi cap, and kill off any other horse who makes running with him. There Is no doubt in the minds of many that if the Brooklyn handicap had been a better "rated" race Irish Lad's great speed would have told at the finish. If the Suburban should be run at a second slower pace for the first mile Irish Lad. If he is as good as he was in the Gravesend race, may win. That is the opinion of excellent Judges. There are to be reckoned with, how ever, one or two more three-year-olds, such as Pulsus, whose defeat in the sprint on Saturday should not necessarily eliminate him from the Suburban. It Is true that he was meeting horses not supposed to be of high class, and the fact that he was never very pronftinent in the race is point ed out as fatal to his pretensions. But when so shrewd an observer as James Rowe declares that Pulsus did not and could not have run his race on Saturday, because his work for some time before that had been first-class, It is well to pay atten tion to it. Rowe himself trains a colt for the great race who would have had a chance at the original impost, but with 110 pounds on his back Delhi will hardly start, and the statement that Odom will ride Proper would go to show that James R. Keene's colt will be reserved for stakes limited to three-year-olds, or perhaps for the Brigh ton handicap, three weeks later. Carefully reviewing the Suburban en tries, it would appear as If the field would come from the following list: Horse and Weight. Jockey. H. B. Duryea's Irloh Lad, 127 Kliaw E. It. Thomas' H**rrals, 126 Itedfern Hampton Stable's Africander, 125 1'ullinan Waldect Stable's Tlie Picket, 124 Helgesen W. B. Leeds' Major Dalnger&uld, 120....J. Martlu W. B.

Drake's Ort Wells, 96 It may seem strange to some to Include Highball as a probable starter after his Inglorious defeat in the Brooklyn Derby on Saturday, but as It was declared by all who saw it to be due largely to the colt'B ill temper In trying to run out on the turns, this race should not be counted against the horse. It was only a week ago that High ball's excellent performance against Bryn Mawr, when conceding him fourteen pounds, caused the son of Ben Strome to be hailed as one of the two great three year-olds of the year. Surely if Pentecost was good enough to run a race in the famous classic which made him nearly as good as the winner that year (Gold Heels In 1002), both High ball and Pulsus should have good chances, even granted that Irish Lad Is a higher class racer than Gold Heels, as Is claimed. Apart* from speculation, however, those who Intend devoting Thuriklay next to wit nessing this year's momentous struggle should go early and avoid the rush. Never In Its long and honorable history has the course offered a stronger attraction than the meeting between at least six of this season's starters. Both the great handi caps which preceded the Suburban were rtin on dry tracks and 'under the most fa vorable circumstances, from a weather standpoint. It Is to be hoped that the same good fortune win attend the Suburban. GBAND PRIX FOB A J AX. W. K. Vanderbilt's Turenne Finished Second. Edmond Blanc's bay colt Ajax, by Flying Fox?Amie, yesterday, at Paris, won the Grand Prix de Paris, of $40,000; distance, about one mile and seven furlongs. M. Blanc's stable thus has accomplished the rare feat of carrying off three great con tests of the year?the Prix de Diane (the French equivalent of the English Oaks), the Prix du Jockey Club (the French equivalent of the English Derby) and the Grand Prix. Everything combined to make the occa sion a great success. The weather was de lightful, the clouds tempering the heat with out threatening rain. The field for the chief race was large and of high quality, and the attendance was both large and fash ionable. The Interest was increased by the use for the first time of the new stands which were built during the winter. President Loubet, with Mme. Loubet. drove In state to the course, and received the heartiest greetings from the huge crowd which was gathered along the route. After receiving a welcome from the authorities of the Jockey Club, members of the cabinet and the diplomatic corps, President Loubet expressed his delight at the beauties of the new presidential stand. He watched the race with the keenest Interest, congratulat ing the owner of the winner before leaving the track. Fourteen horses started for the Grand Prix, about half a dozen being at fairly short prices, though Ajax was a hot favor ite. The race was closely contested, W. K. Vanderbilt's Turenne, with the American jockey, Ranch, up, leading almost to tb* close, when Stern called on AJax for a final effort, which landed him a short half a lengtli ahead. Third place fell to Macdon ald II of Blanc's second string:, the unsuc cessful Derby candidate, Gouvernant taking fourth place. The victory of the favorite was extremely popular, and his youthful jockey was warmly congratulated. INTERCITY GOLF MATCH. Sudbrooks Defeated Washington, or Matter's Course, by 4 Up. The return Intercity golf match be tween the Sud'brook Golf Club of Balti more and the Washington Golf Club of tfcls city was played Saturday afternoon on the course of the latter organization at Rosslyn, and the visitors scored a vic tory by 4 up. The afternoon was almost perfect for golf and the contest was very enjoyable for the participants and the large gallery that followed the prominent players. Mr. Looker of the Washington Club had the honors of the day by making the largest score of the match, 6 up against Mr. Williamson. Mr. Looker had a happy day on the greens, his puts being very accurate, while in approaching he was also very fortunate. Capt. Talcott, Col. Henry May and Mr. Yellott were the other local players who were fortunate enough to defeat their opponents. For the visitors Mr. Trippe had 4 up on Mr. Winter, and Mr. Robinson did the same to Mr. Tamplett. The other Sudbrook win ners were Messrs. Garter, Cater, Harlan and Llnthicum. Last Saturday a week. In Baltimore, the Washington team defeated the Sud brooks. and the tie will probably be play ed off in the near future. After Satur day's match the contestants sat down to an elaborate dinner at the club house, and in the evening a reception and dance was given at the Dumbarton Club in the visitors' honor. Following are the individual scores In Saturday's match: SL'DBROOK. J. MeC. Trippe 4 J. H. Hiss 0 H. Harlan 1 C. Williamson 0 J. P. Garter 3 B. F. Catar 3 C. M. lintbiooin 1 \V. P.

The billiard match between Jake Schaefer and Louis Cure, 3,000 points up, 18-lnch balk, two shots in, was finished Saturday night at Paris, and resulted In a victory for Schaefer. The score was: Schafer, 3,000; Cure, 2,988. At the end of the :natch the Americans present cheered Schaefer en thusiastically and hoisted him on their shoulders. Schaefer's victory was mainly due to a sensational display of billiards by him on Friday night, when he scored 872 against Cure's 500, and reduced the latter's lead from 377 to 5. Saturday night Schaefer made 605 points to the Frenchman's -488, the score being 2,600 to 2,405 in favor of Cure at the beginning of the night's play. Metropolitan Tennis Tourney. The final match of the Metropolitan cham pionship lawn tennis tournament brought out a spirited flve-set contest Saturday on the courts of the Westside Club, New York. Columbia's expert, Robert Leroy, defeated the old-time player, S. C. Millett, in a con test that was ir. doubt until the last set. Miss Hall of California won the women's singles, in which she defeated Miss H. He mans In the final match in two sets. The semi-final round of the mixed doubles | resulted as follows: Seml-flnal round?Miss Mcore and R. Le roy beat Mrs. Cleveland and H. Homans, 6?2, 8?3. Miss Fisher and E. W. Fisher beat Miss Fish and H. Mollenhauer, 4?6, 0?7, 7?5. Too Many Injured Players. The hospitals in Tenleytown seem to be flourishing with ball players from the St. AVban's Church and in consequence they were unable to place a full nine In the field last Saturday In the game scheduled with the Mt. Pleasant Methodist, that was to have been played on the Mt. Pleasant grounds. Base Ball Notes. Case Patten will try and throw down the Detrolts today. President Ban Johnson left Washington yesterday for New York and will return later In the week. Thoney Is now playing so well for New York that Rochester fears Manager Griffltn will hold on to him. The following notes are from the Detroit papers: Bill Clarke played "a fine game on the Initial bag for Washington. He showed the effects of an injured ankle, however.

His ankle Is hurt and he can only navigate with a cano. Case Patten is a persistent hoodoo for De troit. It seems strangre that he could not have been one of the players selected by fate to be on the injured list when the Sen ators reached here. It develops that Detroit could have had Osteen, the youngster that Is making such a hit with New York. Kittredge offered to sell the man to Barrow, but the latter re fused to buy. Washington misses Kittredge behind the bat. There are few better base ball gen erals In the business than Kit, and as a sample of a finished base ball player he stands alone on the Washington club. Cassldy, who is playing third base for Washington, took the crowd's fancy. He started a progressive batting bee. getting a single, a double and a triple, but on the two next occasions failed to connect. Patsy Donovan showed excellent head work in taking Jacobsen out in the eighth and sending in Hoodoo Patten. Patsy worked that trick In Washington during the Washington-Detroit series and It proved a winner. Selbach is much lighter than when tour ing with the bowlers. He is playing good ball and rapped out three safe ones. Don't blame the loss of the game to Pitcher Stovall so much as to the policy of keeping a man in the box after he has shown his inability to befuddle his oppo nents. Had Klllian been sent in with the three men on bases he might have been able to hold down that avalanche. Cassidy, eh! Well, they don't miss Cough lln much on third or anywhere else with this one in the game. Beside scooping up everything that came his way the new leaguer rapped out a single, double and triple the first three times up. The crowd was pulling for a home run the fourth time, although It would only have added to the discomfort. Patsy Donovan did not look as if he could run as formerly, yet he stole two bases. In the eighth, with two on bases and nobody out, Crawford shot a low line fly to right. It looked like anything from a single up, but Donovan raced In, caught It off the end of his toes and fell, holding the ball all the while. It was a wonderful fielding ef fort and shows that he is there yet. XflTMai Girl Shot Through Carelessness A dispatch from Wichita.
