ORIOLES FAIL TO ARRIVE, TWO
GAMES WILL BE PLAYED TODAY
Manager Loftus Looks for
an Easy Time Wilh
the Birds.
LADIES' DAY ON MONDAY
Little Consolation for Fans in Remain
ing Contests Oystertown Team
Likely to Jar Senators Nineteen
Years Since Quakers Won a Pennant.
The game that was scheduled to take
place at American League Park yester
day afternoon between the Senators and
Orioles was not played, as the Baltimore
club did not arrive in the city in time.
The Patriots were' delayed in their trip
Irom Boston, and a telegram was received
early in the afternoon that they would"
not be able to reach Washington for the
came.
Two games will therefore be played
this afternoon, the first one beginning
at 2 o'clock and the second shortly afier
the completion of the first. Yesterday
was to be ladies' day at the park, and
in order ijot to disappoint the fair fans,
Manager Loftus has decided to allow
them to see the contest on Monday.
Orioles Held Cheap.
Manager Loftus was chuckling to him
ielf last night at the prospect of hav
ing an easy time with the Maryland
lads in the three frames to bo played.
"Here, at last," ho murmured, "is a
clob that we have a chance to beat. - If
there were only six other Baltimore
"teams lu the league the Senators. would
have a show to win the pennant."
It vould be just like the Baltimore
men to give Loftus a rude Jar, nnd take
a majority of the games. It makes little
difference, however, as the Senators have
no chance of climbing farther up, the
pennant ladder than they now arc, and
the remaining games are little more
than perfunctory affairs.
There will be one consolation for the
fan, end that is the assistance the local
team has rendered, and doubtless will
render next week, to help an Eastern
club wia the pennant. It has been now
about nineteen years since a Philadel
phia club has been at the top of the
column in the baseball world, and Wash
ington can share some of the joy that
will come to the Quakers when the sea
son is over. Perhaps, some day in the
dim distant future the Philadelphia team
will TCturn -the favor and assist the
Senators to gel home in front.

Barnpy Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg, says
that every player, with one or two ex
ceptions, now with the champions, has
been signed for next season, despite re
ports to the contrary. Tannohill is not
wantid next jear, and will be either
released or sold.
Just what has passed between the
players and President Dreyfuss Is not
known. Kot eicn the players have the
nerve to deny that they signed Amer
ican papers vlrtcally broke their own
two-year contracts; but the fact
that they have promised to go back
may nclp some. There are a few of
the wandering ones who will hardly be
found in Pittsburg next year, as they
lack the speed. Since Pittsburg prac
tically finished her season on American
League territory It is expected the an
nouncement of a new treaty of peace
will be made shortly.
.Ned Hanlon is out with a sugges
tion which, though appearing new to
the public, seems to have been In the
minds of the magnates for some, time
that of developing joung players and
filling up the ranks with them- Han
lon has figured that to pay the salaries
of high-priced teams will require ?90,000
alone, and the additional expenses
would .bring it up to $140,000. He
thinks it better for the magnates to
try the young fellows and let the stars
go if tney make the game too nign.
This will explain why so many young
sters have been tried, and the fact that
to many youngsters have lost their
games may also be laid to the fact that
the elder people knew that in the
scarcity of good players depended their
safety.
1901 he had only twcle errors In 111
games. Polchow, the pitcher who did so
well against the Browns, won .714 per
cent of his games in 1901, ivhile Dcrncr
won .538 per cent of his.
Won by the Franklins.
By good all-around work In fielding
and hitting the Franklin A. C. team de
feated the Tigers yesterday, 10 to 9.
The features of the game were the pitch
ing of It. Doolcy, S. Kosonthal's work

Jimmy McAlcer has an unlcmc scheme
extant for a pennant winning. The gen
tle Jeems has proposed to his tribe of
brown legs that if they land the Ameri
can League flag this year Jhc club will
have worked on a co-operative basis
from September 10. In other words. If
St. Louis Is returned champion the re
ceipts from now on to the end of the
playing season are to be divided among
the players. To further show tho zeal
ous ambition and Croesus-like liberality
of the management the boys have been
assured thaUif they win the co-opcra-
tlvc scheme will extend throughout the
next season.
Frank Foreman, the old National and
Amcricnn League pitcher, has been re
leased by Colorado Springs. It looks
very much as If Foreman's days as a
twirler were numbered.
Frank Bancroft says that the, Ameri
can League has the best corps of um
pires ever gotten together, and the Na
tional League the worst.
Asked if he had an inkling of where
Johnson proposed to locate his grounds
In New York, Brush said: "Not on Man
hattan Irland, that's sure."

"We offered Shortstop Wallace, of
the St. Louis Americans, $7,000 a season
to play In Cincinnati," said President
Herrmann, of the Cincinnati club, the
other day, "and we did not land him.
That shows how hard It is to get star
players. Last week we offered three
American League stars more money
than was ever known to be paid for
ball players, and we failed In each In
stance. I believe Wallace Is tied up in
St. Louis and .Bradley will stick to
Cleveland. The- Cincinnati club Is still
trying for American League stars, but
we do not want anybody that Is nl
rcady signed to a contract. The Cln
cnlnati club will not put up with con
tract jumping."
The receivers of the Standard Buttcrlne
Company. Messrs. .E. Qufncy Smith, E.
Southland Parker, D. W. Baker and
Daniel W. O'Donoghue, yesterday filed a
report In tho Supreme Court of the Dis
trict, showing the condition of affairs of
the company.
The report Is made In connection with
the suit of Charles F. Ncshitt against
tho Standard Buttcrlne Company and
others. The receivers took possession
of the Butterine Company's affairs" on
June 27 last, nnd since then have been
using every effort to collect outstanding
accounts. When they took possession
the receivers found a largo quantity .of
raw material on hand, in cars on side
tracks, etc.
They were compelled to pay out largo
sums on taking possession of tho mate
rial, In order that the company should
not suffer loss. Since closing down tho
plant, the receivers have paid tho em
ployes all money due, and also to prevent
suits of attachment from beyond this
jurisdiction have paid certain ilebtK.
They also paid three notes due the
American Car Company. In all 33,12b.20
has been paid out, leaving on hand yes
terday a balance of ?21,317.G0.
Only the prompt action of tho surgeons
at tho Emergency Hospital saved Owen
Orrison's lif-j after ho drank two ounces
of laudanum yesterday. The police say
that tho drug was taken with suicidal
intent, and Orrlson admits that he took
It because he hnd trouble. He added
that thero was no girl connected with
It, but ho had other things to worry
him. The doctors say that he will bo
able to Icao the hospital today.
A man who claimed to be a relative of
Orrlson called at the hospital shortly
after he was removed there, and stated
that he was tho one who found Orrlson
after he took the laudanum. Owen had
an engagement to meet him yestnlny,
about 4 o'clock, and whe.n he rtl.l twit ,..'
In an appearance his relative, who re
fused to give his name, went to hi
home, 625 K Street northwest. Ho foun-1
him lying across his bed with Ms einti,.
ing on.
Ho saw the laudanum bottle In tho
room, and realizing what hail happened
summoned a doctor. TJic physician or
dered Orrlson removed to the hospital.
Orrlson is about eighteen years of age."
It is said that he was seeking employ

Of pain is generally the-first warning- of
