The Cleveland Club arrived In Washing- f toa last nigh and this morning a majority of the players pased away the time sight seeing in automobiles. With the exception of Lush, all the Cleveland men are in good shape and the blonde outfielder was happy b this morning over the fact that an X-ray Investigation of his injured ankle showed no bones broken. A report was telegraphed A from PMladelphia last night that Catcher. Beulow of the Detroit had been signed by 1 the Clevelands, but Capt. Lajole when ques- I tioned about the mattet this morning said that it was news to him and that the I player was not with the Blues, The big captain is particularly pleased over the re cent string of victories hung up by his club and said that he would start "Red" Dono hue off this afternoon to win the first of the four games in this city. V The Senators are In pretty good shape now, with the exception of Manager Dono- S van, who has a terribly bruised log, the re sult of a collision with Tannehill of the Chicagos last week and later on with G Beulow. From the knee to the instep the leg is one mass of cuts and bruises and but for his splendid physical condition there a would be great danger from blood poison ing. Patsy dislikes getting out of the game e at present as he has been hitting nicely and , the team needs his leadership, but a warn- S ing from his physician has decided him to 8 pull up for the rest of the wek and let Hill, the new man from St. Louis, take his place in.right field. This afternoon Manager Donovan will trot out Southpaw Case Patten to help hold the Cleveland sluggers in check, and as this clever twirler is in grand shape at present he should prove very pussling to the visit A3RBICAN LEAGUB GA1ELR.

Umpire Gives Sixth Presbyterians the Gamie. a The postponed game wrhich was scheduled for yesterday afternoon to be played at Van Ness Park between the St. Stephen and Sixth Predbyterian Church teams, was played on the White Lot, owing to the bad cordition of the grounds at Van Ness. The Sixth team won out after a long, drawn out contest of eleven innings, the score being 4 to 2. The game was called at the end of the tenth inning, but both captains protested against stopping the game and the um pire decided to allow them to play another inning. In the eleventh inning the Pres byterian boys scored two runs and then the St. Stephen team played for darkness. In the test half of the eleventh the losers continued to throw the ball away and de lay the game. so Umpire Shipley gave the game to the Sixth team by a score of I to 0. Both teams played welL. McKnight was in the box for the losers, and was touched up for a total of eleven hits, while Gordon. who served them upfor the Sixth, allowed but six hits and faned nine men. Mc Knight caused six to strike out. The St. Stephen team had an excellent chance to win the game in the last half of the ninth inning. With two men on ases, both Hayden and RAcker, the two heavy hatters of the St. Stephen team, hit easy grounders to Goedon and were out.

Base ball may be the great American ame, and as such it may appeal to all; but 3 he obliged to play bll whether ono wants o do so or not-well, that certainly is a dif erent matter. And there are a great many nen in this land of the free who are forced o play ball without regard to their ability Fr their tastes. These unfortunates are the ailors and marines of the navy. The nation a game has been made part of the "setting ip drill" of the service, and the crews of he fighting craft are expected to devote so any hours to base ball, when the ship is a harbor, as a regular feature of the du lee of the day.

B3IGHTON RACS, Graceful Captured Sea Gull Stakes at Odds of 12 to 1, ' Three favorites won over Brighton's muddy track yesterday. It sprinkled nearly all the afternoon, but the usual Monday crowd of 10,000 enthusiasts turned out. Lady Amelia was withdrawn from the Sea Gull stakes for three-year-old ilies, six furlongs, and John A. Drake's Ishlana and T. L. Watt's Marmee were added starters. There was such a heavy play on Flam mula that she was hammered down from 6 to 5 to 7 to 10. Possession, with Hilde brand up, was also backed as if it was all over, at 16 to 5. Ilana cut out the pace. Possession being badly pinched off just after the stait. Graceful, a 12 to 1 shot. who was perfectly at home in the going, overhauled Ishlana at the turn, with Plam mula and Marmee,- 10 to 1. following neck and neck. Graceful drew away at the head of the stretch and. just galloped home vic torious by three lengths in 1:15. It was a hot finish for the rest of the money, Mar mee being second a'bead'before Possession, who beat Ishlana a half a length with Flammula a head back. Keynote, ridden by Hlebrand, closed the choice at 11 to 10 in the handicap at a mile and a furlong. Bill Daly's pair, Himself and Illyria, going back from even money to 8 to 5. April Shower, the only other starter, was backed down from 8s to 4s. April Shower and Keynote had the race to them selves, the former showipg the way to the middle of the backstcot h, where the favor ite took commpand 6nd *on easily by a length and a 'ha1C 5 116.'. April Shower was twenty length% elkl6;Himself, with Illyria four lengths away. m,The running of the Daly horses excited much unfavorable comment, as they hAd no speed. The stew ards promptly interviewed their trainer, D. Carter. after the race, but there was noth ing for publication. The best finish of the day was in the third race, for two-year-olds at six furlongs, when John A. Drake's Britisher, 6 to 5, beat L. V. Bell's hitherto unbeaten Glori fier. 8 to 5, by a nose in 1.16. Britisher was in receipt of fifteen pounds from Mr. Bell's Hastings colt. At the head of the stretch it looked as If Glorifier might win, but his burden told on him and Britisher got up under the whip. Eight lengths back Tor chello, 8 to 1, took third money from Jack McKeon by two lengths. The steeplechase, at about two miles, was a sensational affair in that the two choices, Good and Plenty, 11 to 10, and Maiden, 2 to 1, went off for a smashing race by them selves right up to tlie last jump, where Maiden fell. Then Good and Plenty won by thirty lengths. Mystic Shriner, S to 1, was second, 100 lengths better than Trek. 50 to 1. Doylesford also fell. The time was 4.80 8-5. Frank Farrell's Champlain, 7 to 1, won the first race, at a mile and a sixteenth, rather easily by two and a half lengthd. Apprentice riders had the mounts, and the winner was handled in masterly fashion by little 3. J. Walsh. G. Whittier, backed down to 4 to 1, led for nearly three-quar ters of a mile, where Wa'lsh took Cham plain to the front, never to be caught. Kin graine who went up to 5 to 1 from?7 to 5, ran second, beating Nine Spot, 12 to 1, by eight lengths. The latter beat Bardolf, 7 to 2, favorite, by a bead. The time was 1.49 8-5. Meadow Horn, 15 to 1. madg all the run ning In the last race, for maideni two-year old fillies and geldings, and won galloping by four lengths in 1.10. Gotowin, 7 to 1, took the place from Sportsman, 15 to 1, by a length and a half. Bill Daly's Salt and Pepper, pounded down to 9 to 5 flavorite, ran a bad race and came in blinded. with mud. Sydney Paget's 2|eala., a full sistr to Waterboy, who started for the first time, did not fantry the mud. HIG-CLAUS TENNIS. Annual Tourner at Longwood for - atera Ohampionship. Beals C.

Preident J. Hadley Doaie of the association received the following let ter from Mr. Henry B. F. Macfarland, the president of the Board of District 'Commis eioners, which was very gratifying: "I take pleasure in inclosing my .check for $10 as a contribution toward the annual regatta to be held under the auspices of the Potomac River Regatta Association Satur day. August 13, 1904. I believe that these regattas are of great practical value in the life of the community. Ali manly sports which are carried on in an honorable and high-minded way. are good for us all, but I think it is especially desirable that aquatic sports should be encouraged, be cause we do not make as much use of the Potomac as we might. Cities on rivers generally make a great deal more of aquat los than we do. and it Is strange that this is so when we consider how exceptionally attractive the Potomac river is. 'Sincerely yours. "HENRY B. F. MACFARLAND." This, coming as it did at the same time as last evening's editorial in The Star, has aided materially In the club's cause, and the members declare that both are heartily appreciated. In response to the request made to the Secretary of the Navy for a torpedo boat to be used as a referee's boat on regatta day President Doyle has received the fol lowing communication from Mr. Charles H. Darling, the acting secretary. "In reply to your request of the 20th in stant for the services of a torpedo boat during the national Potomac river regatta, to be held on the 13th proximo. I have to inform you that the commandant, navy yard, Norfolk. has been directed to send the Talbot to this place for the purpose de sired. "Very respectfully, "CHAS.' H. DARLING. "Acting Secretary." These letters are but samples of those which are coming to the regatta committee, and it is hoped that with these as examples the Washington public will come quickly to the support of the association. The citizens are cordially invited by the regatta aspociation to visit the headquar ters any evening. The Potomac Boat Club will welcome all visitors. The crews are on the water every day, and their daily races are most exciting. American Golfers Abroad. Eben M. Byers has sent two sets of iron clubs from the St. Andrews' Golf Club of Scotland to the St. Andrews' Club. Yonkers, to John Reid. Jr., and Walter T. Stern. Oden Horstman of the Chevy Chase Golf Club is also in Scotland with Mr. Byers, and 'the two are having such a good time that they will not return until about the middle of August, when Byers will be ac companied by Robert Maxwell. Jr., amateur champion of Great Britain in 1906. The Hunter boys may possibly follow Horstman later on, as the executive committee of the United States Golf Association has made provision for the foreigners to play in the amateur championship. Reid and Stern will have a chance to try their new clubs when they go to Great Barrington, Mass.. for the Saturday handicap of the Wyan tenuck invitation tournament. They will also play in the Shinnecock Hills invitation tournament on August 4, 5, and 6. and the. Shelter Island open tournament of August 24, 25, 26 and 27. Last Game for Haverford Cricketers. The last game of the tour of the Haver ford College cricket team began at Repton. England, yesterday, but it rained in the afternoon when C. C. Morris and W. P. Bonbright were well set for the second wicket, and made necessary a postpone tnent until today. The Reptonians batted first, and quickly lost two wickets for 5 runs. J. W. Craw ford and E A. Cresswell then got together. however, and made a splendid stand. The former was the first to go for a capital inn ings of 41. while Cresswell continued. to do good work until he had 65 to his credit. The next two men fell easy victims, but another stand took place when C. S. Meyer and J. Thwaites got together and put on 21 and 34. respectively. After they were separat ed the innings was quickly brought to an end for a total of 190. Haverford will re sume batting when the game is continued today. Base Bal Notes. Cleveland starts a series of four games today with the Senators. Yesterday's rain prevented the closing contest between the locals and Detroits. Today is ladies' day, and a good crowd wll doubtless turn out to see the great Cleveland sluggers. Albert Edward Orth did himself proud In New York yesterday by shutting out the Ther will be a big shakeup in the De troits shortly. Buelow was the first to go yesterday, signing with the Clevelands, and wi work here with the Blues. Sc Capt. Prince says the local enthusiasts will raise a great howl and remain away from the games if Coughlin is sold. What's the difference? They didn't attend the games anyway, and "Scranton Bill" can't win single-handed. It is more than likely that a band of mu sic will be on hand Thursday to jolly along the Sunday School Lagaue boys when they meet the Senators, and all the stores in Mount Pleasant will probably .clore down for the afternoon. The Athletics have won seven out of eight games from the Chicago Americans a rare showing". Dougherty has been Ill with malaria, which will doubtless explain why he has not been hitting as well ltely as has been his wont. Harry O'Hagan leads off for the Newarks in the batting order. John Gansel's hand is still very sore and keep him from getting back into the game. Emer Flick of the Clevelands Is playing as fine a game as he ever did in his life. Pelty has been very effective against the Boston.. In two gamhes they made but three runs and but eleven hits off him.

PEOMISES TO RE A BITTER BIGHT All Peace Negotiations 'roken Of a Chicago. A dispatch from Chicagoe Ill., last nigh says: With all peace negotiations brokes off, and with all allied trades unions em. ployed at the different plants, with the ex caption of the teamsters and the stationar engineers, out on a strike in sympath with the butcher workmen who quit worl two weeks ago, the stock yards strike to night had settled down to what promiset to be a long, bitter fight. As has been threatened for some time the allied trades employed in the packin industry at Chicago quit work when call ed on .today to assist the striking butch ers In their efforts to bring the packeri to terms. In several Instances the met did not wait for the official notidcatiot from their leaders to strike, but threv down their tools and quit work of thel own volition. At 6 o'clock tonight the statement wai made by Michael .t. Donnelly. president o the Butchers' Union. that every union mm employed at the stock yards. with the ex ception of the teamsters and stationary en gineers, had responded to orders for a gen eral sympathetic strike. The engineers, h4 declared, would join the strike tomorrow morning, and unless there was a s 1 settlement of the difficulty, he said. th teamsters would undoubtedly join in th struggle soon. According to Mr. Donnelly today's strike swelled the number of met who have quit work at the stock yards it Chicago alone to nearly 30,000 persons. Both sides to the ,pontroversy declare tonight that they were perfectly satlfie< with the present state of affairs. and,thal they were willing to make it a fight to - i finish to determine who shall dictate th4 terms of a settlement. According to the packers, the genera strike today was a failure, it being as serted by them that not more than hall the members of the allied trades quit worl when officially called out by the leaden this morning. The further statement wat made by the packers that should all tht union men decide to join the strikers i1 would tiake little difference to the employ era, as they had su.dcient resources tc contest the ground for an Indefinite period On the other hand, the labor leaders asseri that all the union employes at the differeni packing plants, together with several hun dred employes 8f the Union Stock Yardi and Transit Company, quit work today is response to the general order for a sympa thetic strike. TEE SIOCUX DISBTR INQUIRY! Fire Marshal 1nnmas Derkhanid Whi Lost His Head. A dispatch from New York last nighi says: The disaster to the excursion steamel General Slocum, In which nearly a thou sand lives were lost, would never have hap pened If one of the deckhands had retained his presence of mind. In the opinion of for mer Fire Marshal Thomas Freel, who tee tified today before the federal commission which Is making an Inquiry Into the disas ter. Mr. Freel said that a member of th4 steamer's crew named Coakley testified be fore the coroner that he saw the fire and tried to find something to smother it with He picked up a bag of charcoal and threw it at the barrel, knocking It over, and sc spreading the fire. He then ran to get the fire bose, leaving the door to the stairwaj That was all the fire wanted-a littl4 air-and it spread." said Freel. "If the man had not lost his head he could havi picked up the barrel and thrown it over board, and the disaster would not havu happened." Anoth.er witness, Mrs. Meda Witte, wbc was on se Slocum when It burned, saNt she and her nurse tried to launch a life boat when they heard the Slocum was os fire, but gave it up when they saw thaJ one of the boards was out of the bottoml of the boat.
