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.

SUNDAY AMERICAN GAMES.
New York, 2; Chicago, 0.
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.

Kismet Team Too Much for District.
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. Score:

JEFFRIES-MUNROE FIGHT.
Champion's Knee Weak, but There
Will Be No Postponement.
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. The field of start
ers will no doubt b? smaller than in the

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. JeunlUKs' l'ruper, 110 Odom
Mrs. L Ourtis' Eugenia Bureb, 110 DesouM
W. M. Sheftel'a Illgiilmll, 106 Fuller
J. E. Madden's City Bank. 100 0'NVll
Fred. Uebhard'g I'nWua, 100 Hlldebrand
J. A. 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

Schaefer Beat Cure Out.
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.

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

pulled down Drill's liner wltn one nana
when there were two on bases.
Bill Coughiin, one of the finest third base
men that ever donned a uniform. Is In a
bad way at the Oriental. 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.

AT CAMP GOOD WILL.
Many Visitors Inspect the Grounds
Aid Extended.
Yesterday was a very i>opular day a
"Camp Good Will." Visitors bgan t
gather about noontime, and thera <ra,
scarcely a minute during the entire after
noon and evening when some Interested
person was not looking about the ground
All expressed themselves very much pleased
with the camp and anxious to do all tha
they were able to make it possible for many
children to enjoy a week's stay among th
hills.
The day was also children's Sunday, an '
a number of the churches in the city gav<
their children's day collection in aid of the
work of the camp. Some of the visitors r?
ported that a large number of people at
tended the Calvary Baptist Church, an'
that great enthusiasm was aroused In tti
work of "Camp Good Will," which was e?
peclally considered at that time.
The Brookland Baptist Church gave It
offering of >23 to the outing fund. Tfce
First Congregational Church opened its
pulpit to tha treasurer. Mr. John B. Sleman.
Jr.. and In the afternoon a number of peo
pie from that church visited the camp.
It is expected that this week many more
churches than have already responded wll
signify their Intention of providing at leas'
one tent, or one tent equipment, to help thf
summer outing work. There Is lncre&slm
need every day. It Is urged, for church
es and phllanthroplcally Inclined people t<
work together upon some such broad baa:
of Christianity as is represented in tiu>
outing work.
