?Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 28?The Na
tionals made it three out of five from the
league leaders yesterday and left for home
in almost as gleeful a mood as possessed
them ?when they came to Cleveland In first
place early In May. Flushed with their
victories earlier in the week Stahl's men
went into yesterday's game with that easy
confidence that often begets victory. Long
Tom Hughes had won his game with so Ht
tle effort Tuesday that It was decided to
send him against the leaderless Naps
again. It was good Judgment. True the pen
nant aspirants played dopey ball, but this
did not detract from the brilliance of the
tall twlrler's work. Bay's triple was the
only one of the four hits made off him that
Is worthy of mention. Hughes' support was
not only faultlens, but spectacular. Huela
man and Jones made great running catches,
while Hill, Cassidy, Hickman and Stahl
made Cleveland's infield look slow. As on
the other days the Nationals have played
here, their work was In happy contradis
tinction to the Indifferent playing of the
Naps, who are In sore need of the pres
ence of the mighty Larry himself to invest
their movements with some suggestion of
life.
The Naps were the first to score. "With
one out In the first Bay shot a swift one
between Jones and Anderson, and sprinted
to third. Flick was passed. Kahl's roller
to Cassidy forced Flick and gave Bay an
unobstructed path to the plate. Huelsman
put a stop to the proceedings by a superb
catch of Bradley's y. This was the only
time the home players were anywhere near
the plate.
The Nationals moved alongside in th?
second. Anderson doubled to left and
scored on two ours at first. The game was
won In the third. Heyden was squeezed
between Kahl and Carr, but Hughes' hot
single was followed by Cassidy's slashing
triple to right center, Long Tom scoring.
Hill's out brought Cassidy home. In the
fifth Flick made a school-boy muff of
Hughes' fly and by slow work turned Hill's
hit into a double, Hughes scoring.
Catcher "Nig'' Clark has been loaned to
Detroit and left for Washington with the
Nationals last night.
The work of the Nationals here has set
the wise ones to calculating whether the
Napless ones can finish better than third.
The team is greatly in need of a leader
like J^arry at this time.

BACK HOME
PITCHER ADAMS TO MAKE HIS
DEBUT HEBE AGAINST DETBOITS
The Nationals reached home this morning
at after an all-night trip from Cleve
land. and Immediately after reaching the
depot every one of the boys scattered for
their homes. Manager Stahl was seen by
a Star reporter this morning, and for once
he carried a satisfied smile, the result of
the splendid work of his team In Cleveland.
"We looked pretty l>ad In St. Louis and
Detroit," said Stahl, "but In Chicago and
Cleveland the boys put up games that I
wish would be forthcoming dally from
them. The main fault appears to be In our
twirlers. If they perform well the boys
back of them get Into the games with both
feet and It takes extraordinary ball to de
feat tm. But when they allow as many as
five or six runs in the first inning through
clean hitting it taken all the life out of the
remainder of the team.
"Everybody is now in good shape and
our stay at home against the western
clubs, should be a successful one.
"Pitcher Adams surprised all the boys
by his good work, and I have decided to
work him against the Detroits tomorrow,
so that the Washington 'fans' can see him
work out.
"I don't like to protest against the um
pires. but if there was anything given to
us on the trip in the way of a close de
cision I failed to see it. We are due for a
little iuck in this respect on the home
grounds, and we will get back many of the
games we lost on the tr'p."
Tomorrow's game with the Detroits will
, start promptly at .'t o'clock, and a good
j crowd will probably turn out to welcome
the Nationals home.
The Detroits arrived in Washington this
afternoon and the team is ba.dly crippled
through Injuries to several of the players.
Lew Drill lias been doing all the catching
-of late, but Clarke has been loaned to the
Tigers by Cleveland and he will help out.
It was Intended to play a double-header to
morrow. but the Detroits are in such a bad
way that they can hardly put enough men
on the field for two games.

Before one of the largest crowds of the
season that winning streak broke yesterday
when the Immaculate club drubbed St. Mar
tin?5 to 4?in a seven-inning contest.
The Greenbacks had the best set of bat
ters, getting eight hits off Carriek, while
three bingles and a three-bagger was all
that the Immaculates were capable of ex
hibiting. although the four hits meant vic
tory.
The game was not started until six min

wh?n Dugun attempted to reach home, but
Rodier nailed htm at the pljjtj. In the
second session the Immaculate club scored
a brace of runs. Brennen and Carriek com
ing in on Bagett's second mlscue. Gerard!
was the only man to pass the counting
block in St. Martin's half of the second
round. Both sides went out in short order
in the third and in the fQurth a triple and
two singles gave St. Martin a pair of runs.
The Immaculates failed to tally In the

New Owner for Chicago Nationals.
CHICAGO, 111.. July 2i.?Word came from
Cincinnati lust ni^ht that Charles I'. Taft,
owner of the Cincinnati Times-Star and j
brother of the Secretary of War, Is the man
behind Charles W. Mu phy in ills purchasj
of an Interest in the Chicago National
league ball club. The story is also vouched
for by Garry Herrmann, who told a num
ber of newspaper men. The s imp report I
gained circulation at the Cleveland base
ball meeting last week, where Garry Herr
mann is slid to have told several friends
that Mr. Taft was behind the venture.
The entrance of the Cincinnati man into
local base ball affairs is interpreted to [
mean that President Hart will lie out of |
the sport after the present season.

Blanks vs. Pressmen.
Foundry Trimmed the Leaders in a
Good Game.
The Cowboys and Foundrys, flrst and sec
ond learns in this league, battled for su
premacy yesterday, and the most Interest
ing game of the season resulted, the latter
team winning by 4 to 1.
The crowt*; which was the largest of the
year, completely encircled the field, and
the partisans of both teams worked over
time iri the cheering line.
The game early developed Info a pitcher's
battle, both twlrlers being In fine fettle,
and the hits were few and far between.
Brown had slightly the better of Kappier,
allowing but three hits, one of them being
a high blunder to the infield, which was
beat out. He also had more strike-outs to
his credit than Kappier, having eleven to
the latter's ten. Foundry's line-up was
considerably changed since Its last game,
and It seemed to improve the playing, as,
with the exception of two errors by
Schwltzer In the first, the plays went oft
without a sllp-up. Herbert, late of the
Church League, was on third for Foundry
yesterday, and put up a good game, accept
ing everything which came his way. He
also cracked out a triple, which later re
sulted in a run. The Cowboys scored their
only run in the first. Chute singled to oen
ter, stole second and tallied when Schwltzer
let I^aframbois' grounder get away from
him. After this but two men reached third,
but they staid there, as Brown would put
on extra steam and strike out the rest.
Foundry got its first two in the fourth.
Herbert tripled to left, and scored when
Brown shot a single through short. The
latter went to second Havens' single, to
third on a fielder's choicc and scored on
Mulligan's out to Herrmann. In the fifth
Addison led off with a hit, but was caught
at second when Schwltzer hit to Cotter.
The latter continued on to second, as La
frambols threw wild in trying for a double
play, and went to third on Brown's hit.
Havens then singled, and Schwltzer scored.
Foundry's last run came in the sixth, when
Mulligan singled, was sacrificed to second
by Christian, and scored on Addison's hit.

NO PROTECTION
FOR TRI-STATE
PENNSYLVANIA TEAMS WON'T
JOIN NATIONAL AGREEMENT.
. HAKHISBl'HG, July 28.?There were but
four clubs represented at the meeting of
the Tri-State League last night. Harrlsburg
York, Altoona and Johnstown, and when
it had finished its labors it transpired that
all of the stories of big league protection
that have been sent out from Altoona were
purely "hot air" and nothing more. The
Tri-State Is not after protection, doesn't
want it and wouldn't know what to do with
it If got It.
President Creamer presided over the meet
ing, and there were present William C.
Farnsworth, honorary president of the Har
rlsburg Club and donor of the champion
ship cup. There was very little business
transacted and that of a perfunctory char
acter. The question of reducing the num
ber of umpires from five to four was con
sidered and final decision was postponed un
til all of the eight clubs can get together
and decide. The matter of club bonds,
given to guarantee the finish of the season,
w?ts taken up, and it developed that the
league is fully protected.
As to the matter of league protection
there was not a word said. President Crea
mer, when asked about this phase of the
meeting, said that there was nothing In It.
"You may say for the Tri-State I.eague,"
said President Creamer, "that It has no
idea_of taking up the question of national
protection at all. The Tri-State is perfect
ly satisfied with the decision of the Dauphin
county court and feels that It is on sure
ground. The stories that came out of Al
toona to the effect that we need protection
are all "hot air." and did not emanat^
from any authoritative source.
"Mr. Bochel of the Altoona Club, from
whom anything authoritative could origi
nate, has not been In Altoona for ten days,
and the story of national protection is
absolutely unauthorized. There is ?no In
tention or any thought of the Tri-State
going in for league protection.
"As a matter of fact, no overtures have
been made on either side, and you may
a^y as strongly as you care that the story
?bf hunting for protection is absolutely base
less. They are perfectly satisfied with the
result of the season so far and do not see
the wisdom at this time of asking for
league protection, for we do not need It.
Our meeting this evening was only for the
gathering up of loose odds and ends. And
there was nothing in it of general interest.
And, finally, please say that we do not ask
for national -protection because we do not
need It." Another meeting will be held
next weak.

St. Stephen's Scored Easy Victory.
St. Patrick's was the easiest kind, of pick
ing for the St. Stephen's Institute at the
White Lot yesterday. When hostilities ceas
ed the score stood 11 to 1 In favor of the
cham pS.
Both teams <were shy of regular pitchers,
so Johnnte Beall Volunteered for the In
stitute. and Earnie Atcheson played the
role of victim for the St. Patrick's. Beall
had speed to Incinerate, and -with good sup
port had the losers entirely at his mercy.
St. Patrick's only run was the result of a
wild throw by Daugherty.
Atcheson had one very bad Inning, the
first, when six runs were scored by the
winners. Only two hits were made In that
round, but two passes and one man hit,
with two errors apiece by Bryan and SuHI
van, did the damage. After tliat the whole
team steadied down and made some sem
blance of a struggle.
The monotony was relieved by a number
of pretty fielding plays. Stecker had two
fine running catches in the fifth Inning.
Shorty Hughes had one of his good days.
He jumped In the air and caught Rapp's
hlgty throw with one hand and got back
to earth In time to touch the runner out.
He also robbed Stecker of a (hit by knock
ln? down his drive to right field with one
hand and getting the ball to first ahead
of the batter. Morlarlty backed Into the
left field crowd and got a drive from Ver
mllllan's bat that looked good for three
bases. The score:

Columbias Shut Out Carrolls.
The Coliseum was the scejie of another
slaughter yesterday In tho Capital City
League, the Columbia Athletic Club wal
loping Carroll Institute to the tune of
8 to 0.
At no stage of the game was the Insti
tute dangerous, save In the first Inning,
when Kinney led off with a three-base hit.
The batters following him. however, could
not keep the ball out of the air, and he
died on the third cushion.
Carr and Symanowskl for the Institute
were not hit hard, but the blngles came
when they were most needed, and It does
not take many hits to win a game in
which the losers do not score.
Fulclier and Taylor fattened their batting
averages considerably, as also did Kinney.
There were no unusual fielding features,
save Babson's large number of assists and
Fulcher'a neat plays on ground hits. For
ney also made easy work of his six
chances.
The game was considerably delayed 11
several stages by consecutive fouling of
the balls. It took a good many minutes
to retrieve foul Hies out of the lot. The

JOHNSON GLEANS
MORE EVIDENCE
CHICAGO, 111., July 28.? President Ban
B. Johnson of the American league, who
has returned from the meeting- of the na
tional commission at Cleveland, reports
new developments in the Griffiths case in
dicating an alleged case of blackmail In the
Southern League. Griffiths and Stalllngs
are reported having attempted to force the
owner of the team to join them, and threat
ened to put him out of business If he did
cot join them.
These points will be taken up at the next
meeting of the commission, to be held in
Chicago August 15.
President Johnson, In speaking of the
meeting, said:
"An Interesting case was brought before
the commission In connection with the
Griffiths case. It seems that Griffiths and
Stalllngs have been endeavoring to black
mall some of the minor league owners.
"The Atlanta team of the Southern
League was recently bought by Mr. Joyner
for $19,000. Stalllngs and Griffiths Imme
diately went to Joyner and told him that
If he did not come In with them they would
cause him to lose his best players. They
also Intimated that unless he speedily came
In with them his team would be placed In
such a condition that he would lose money
on It.
"This, If true, is nothing short of an at
tempt at blackmail, and if such a condition
exists In the minor leagues It Is time some
drastic action was taken by the commis
sion. The commission has arranged to
have Mr. Joyner appear and state his case
at the Chicago meeting. We are unable to
take any definite action on account of the
lack of evidence. If Griffiths and Stalllngs
are guilty of these charges, the best thing
to do Is to railroad them out of base ball.
In the Griffiths case wc were stopped by a
legal technicality, but we will be able to go
ahead with it at the next meeting.
"The foul strike rule was not taken up,
but: merely considered in an informal man
ner. I hope It will be taken up soon. We
have great need of the repeal of the rule.
Such a rule would benefit one of the local
teams greatly, but I won't say which
team."
WESTERN YACHTING SEASON
???????
; To Beach Its Climax With Tomorrow's
Lake Regatta.
CHICAGO, July 28.?The yachting season
In the west reaches its climax when the
fleet of the Chicago Yacht Club and the ;
representatives of the Detroit and Cleve- 1
land yacht clubs cross the line tomorrow
I afternoon 'n the start of the long cruising
races, the former at Chicago, the latter at
Port Huron, both bound for Mackinac Is
land. Four splendid schooners, evenly
matched and well representing the types of
craft popular on fresh water; a half dozen
powerful cruising yawls and several rac
ing sloops will race in the respective classes,
with ten minutes between the classes.
The distance is <140 miles, and it was
covered last year in thirty-two hours, run
ning before a southerly gale. Very high
seas were running at the north end of the
lake, and there were many accidents to
spars and rigging. It Is not thought prob
able that this record will bo equaled this
year, although there are Indications of the
probability of plenty of wind.
The only limitation of rig is the barring
of club topsails. The closest riico will prob
ably be between the four schooners Haw
thorne.' Alice, I'ncas and Mistral. Haw
thorne is the favorite for heavy weather
and I'ncas or Alice for light.
Much Interest is aroused by the determi
nation of Miss Wright, a flag member of
the club, to race her twenty-five-foot sloop
Lady Elleon. Two young women will as
sist her, and there w*i!l be no men on board
Prizes will be ofTerod to the winner In
each class, to the first boat in, and to the
one making the best time on timo allow
ance.
After the race the Chicago and Detroit
yachts will cruise to the north channel and
Georgian bay.

BRIGHTON RACES.
Wild Mint Won Teat Handicap in Hot
Drive.
Hermis wan badly beaten in the Teat
hai.dlcap, one mile, run at Brighton Beach
yesterday. In the presence of more than
10.000 spectators. The little chestnut
packed 132 pounds and wr.s a hot favorite,
the public backing him down to II to 0, but
he was never able to take the lead after the
start and was finally pulled up by Redfern
when the task was hopeless, finishing abso
lutely last. James R. Keene's Wild Mint, a
0 to 1 shot, won this race by about three
It ches from Sydney Paget's Hamburg Belle,
who went up In the betting to 8 to 1, with J.
L. Mcfilnnls' Buttling. 7 to 1, taking third
money The race was a chapter of mis
haps. all of which served to bo of much
at-flstance to the winner. At the start l>ot|i
Alan-a-Dale, second choice, and Huttling
did not break with the others. Alan-a-Dale
was up with the leaders at three-quarters of
a mile, but after that he found It Impossi
ble to Improve Ills position and finished
three lengths out of the money.
In the wild rush for the leadership on the
lower turn, Hermis pinched oft Hamburg
Belle, who lost at least three lengths. Wild
Mint meanwhile had the rail, and was set
ting a fast pace, so that when Hermis tried
to go to the front at the beginning of the
back stretch the ICeene coit showed his
quality by remaining In possession of his
advantage. Redfern persevered with Iler
mu to the far turn, where the $00,000 horse
began to tire and fall back. Then Willie
Davis sent Hamburg Belle after Wild Mint
in earnest. They turned into the stretch
almost on equal terms, with Willie Knapp
1 hustling Buttling along iK'hlnd tln'in. But
Knapp erred in not taking his mount to the
outside, for he quickly got him Into a
wedge between the two leaders, only to be
shut off at. the sixteenth pole, when It was
too late to make up the lost ground, even
though Buttling was closing again with a
powerful rush at the end. Both Hamburg
Belle and Wild Mint were under the whip
In the last 100 yards. Lyne laid it on thick
and when Wild Mint passed the judges he
had his nose about three inches In front of
Hamburg Belle, who would have probably
won In another Jump. On the whole, with
no Idea of detracting from the victory of
the Keene colt, the general opinion was that
Hamburg Bell? was best. 8h? received four
pounds from Hermis and gave nine to Alan
a-Dale. seven to Wild Mint and twelve to
Buttling. She never looked in more superb
cordition and her lack of support was one
of the strange features of the race. The
mile was run In 1.3U 1-5. the three-quartere
being covered in 1.13 1-5. At the scales Her
mis pulled up sound, but his defeat puzzled
many of the smfcrt people who plunged on
him for the limit.
(Mr. Keene also won another race during
the afternoon, the last event, for maiden
two-year-old Allies, five and a half furlongs,
when two daughters of the famous Voter,
Ballotta and Curiosity, ran first and second,
respectively, MoDaniel driving the former
out'to win by a head. They were coupled
favorites at even money and were heavily
backed. Hester W., owned by J. L. Holland,
took third money, with -10 to 1 about her.
The time was 1.08.
But the success of Wild Mint and Ballotta
did not make up for the general disappoint
ment over the race run by Mr. Keene's Ku
rokl. by Commando-Rhodesia, in the second
event, for two-year-olds, six furlongs. It
was Kuroki's first appearance this season,
and so much liad been said of him that he
was always an odds-on favorite, closing at
7 to 10. At the start although he broke
with the others, he quickly fell back. Lyne
proceeding to run him Into several packet*
Instead of golr.g to the outside. TT.e colt
seemed to be green and awkward, showing
little of the looked-for epeed, and when
Lyne put him under the whip In the run
home he was unable to get Inside of Fhe
money, although he made up conalutrafele
ground. Meanwhile, J. L. Holland'* Mas
terman, 8 to 1. won the race In a Alive by
a neck from "Kansas" Price's Confederate.
10 to 1. with Caaslnl, 4 to 1, a length back
and half a length in front of the Keene colt.
The time was 1.1B, decidedly slow consider
ing the faat track.
