At Cincinnati, no game; rain.
At Baltimore, no game; rain.
It is worth a laugh, and u good one. Our
sluggers are out oflast place, and certainly
tliat j something to
be thankful and joy
ful for.
And they stepped
out of that ignoble
but safe position by
winning a game, and
tiiat, nowadays, vis
somen hat of a rare
thing forour unfortu
nate sluggers to do.
And what a game it
was. The oldest crank
probably never saw
B i such a contest. Not
j tt that it tins a brilliant
, A contest, but it was a
' 2 ragged, rocky, and, in
many respects, a disorderly game. T ice It
was "called on account of rain, and these
stoppages caused it to be carried onfor near
ly .three hour-. And then there was any.
amount or kicking at the umpire, and nearly
a bare fist set-to between two of the Cin
cinnati players. And, still more, there was
some lively hitting, and beyond all, any
amount of the most ridiculous errors.
Unite a Xoisy tot.
The Reds are quite a boisterous lot when
thev get started, and the noise and antics of
Latham keep ctcrtbody from becoming
sleepy. Hut it was evident yesterday that
there is quite an absence of brotherly love
among the Red. In one instance Long John
Keilly drew back his arm to "smash" Hollt
day in the field because the latter collided
tilth John when running for a fly. Hostili
ties were extremely imminent between the
pair, but mutter got smoothed down with
out the shedding of blood and bruised faces.
There was also any amount of grumblings
and ugly exchanges of compliments among
me neus. aniiaiiogemci- im kbmu iu m
at cross purposes.
Yestcrduv ti ns not a baseball day as far as
the -Heather tins concerned. Before the
game lieavv rain showers fell and when the
game started the clouds were extremely
threatening. When the fourth inning tias
reached and the local team in the lead
the rain came down hard and the wind
blew violently. Tho game was called, and
wiicn I'mpire Battin ordered the proceed
ings to be resumed Latham ti as very wrathy.
But the game was resumed, and, after the
home team had done a little moro damage
in tho way of run getting, Latham kicked
again because of the rain and the game tias
called ngain. The game was resumed ihe
second time and continued to the end. But,
despite the unfavorable weather, there were
1,020 people present.
already stated, the game was an ex
tremely poor one. The grounds ti ere in a
very biid condition and brilliant fielding was
oat of the question. The pitchers did not do
extrcmclv well, but they did not do very
bad. Bal'iln in seemed to lack that ginger
that usually characterizes his piny, and he
gate bases on balls at critical stages. Still
he was not hit very hard.
Bhlues a Little Off.
Rhinos tins not in his best form, but he re
ceived most wretched support. It was, in
deed, bad enough to dishearten a very cour
ageous man. At one time in the fifth inning
it looked as if he i as really trying to allow
every man ti ho went to bat to knock tho
ball out of the lot. The opinion prevailed
that this was being done to prolong tho in
ning in hope that the impending rain would
fall.
Umpire Battin ti as again too lenient with
the players. He allowed too much fa
. millarit; .and this encouraged many of them
to kick" about almost anything or every
thing. He did fine Keenan $10 lor objecting
to a decision on a strike. But Mr. Battin
should be firmer ind matters, will not be so
disorderly.
After Carroll was out in the first inning
Beckley lined out a two-bagger to center
and Browning followed tiitli a single, scor
ing Beckley. Then the visitors tied the
score in their half on McPhce's single and
Hnlliday's double.
In the" third inning after Berger had made a
hit for a base Baldwin reached first on a
fumble by Smith. Berger got to third and
he tried to score on Carroll's sacrifice, but
was put out at the plate. Beckley got his
base on balls, and a very wild throw to first
base by Harrington let in the two runs,
Baldwin and Beckley.
They Tied the Score Again.
In their half of the inning the visitors
again tied the score. After Holliday was
out Marrgot his base on balls and Keilly
made a single. The latter started to steal
second and Mack threw wild, Marr scoring
on the error. Keilly finally scored on a single
by Smith.
In the fourth Mack's single and Hnnlon's
snfebunt, Balawin's single, Bergcr's life hit,
n ti ild pitch, Carroll's sacrifice and two wild
throws by Latham netted three runs. In the
fifth inning two singles and Miller's triple,
two errors and a sacrifice hit netted lour
more, and two moro were made in the sixth
ou Mack's single, Khines' error and Miller's
sacrifice hit. A base on balls and Millpr's
double scored the 13th run for the liomq
team.
In the sixth singles by Latham and Mc
Phoe, Holliday's base on balls, two errors by
Berger and a sacrifice hit tallied four for the
Beds. A double by Marr and another by
Keilly earned the last run for the visitors.

Mt. PtEASAXT, Jujie 20. One of the most
exciting ball games of tho season was played
at Rcscrvoirpark here, to-day, between the
Scottdalo and tile local 'team. Until the lat
ter half of the nintlilnnlng tho score stood 4
to 4 with Mt. Pleasant at the bat with one

Marsh at the bat. Morrison, on Marsh's hit
to short, started toward third, but when mid
way between the bases Buttomoro", Scott
dale's shortstop, in fielding the ball, tripped
and threw Morrison, and oeforo the latter
reached third touched him with the ball. It
seemed thaf tho shortstop tried to throw
Morrison and the. field umpire' called him
safe. . t
Tlris raised a row in which the players
from the little town "across the county line
wanted to clean, out Mt. Pleasant and said
they would not play. Tho game stopped.
Scottdalo men loft the field and Mt. Pleasant
claims the game 0 to 0.
Both.clnbs played well. Marsh and Morri

rsPECIAL TELECRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
YASittsaTox, June 20. The hotly-contested
Inter-Collegiate baseball champion
ship has been won by the Washington' and
Jefferson club. The agreement accepted
between the Wesftern UnlYerslty.'Washlug
ton and'.Teffersoh,tieneYa andMeadville Col
leges at the beginning of tho season was
that tho different college teams were to play
together as often as possible, and that the
club having the. greatest number of games
won should be accredited the champion
ship. W ashlngton and Jefferson has lost but one
game, a less number than any other team
named: In all the W. and J. has played. 12
games, losing one to Western University in
the Collego League,- and outside they lost
two, to tho crack California team and one to
Bethany,
n WAS A TIE.
An Unpleasant Ending of a Game Between
the" Jeanne ttcs and Independents.
There was quite a lively timo at Jeannette
yesterday on account of a ball game between
the team of that place and the Independents
of the Southslde. At the eighth inning the
score stood 5 to 3 in favor of the Jeannettcs
and they led off the ninth and made no
runs. The Independents followed and made
two runs and one man out and a man on
third. Then the game witS called on account
of rain. Lively. fun followed and one of the
umpires gave the game to the Independents.
The contost was for $100 a side.
An opinion regardiugthe matter was wired
for to this office yesterday aftciyioou, but as
matters were incorrectly stated a wrong
reply was given. If the game was called on
account ot rain the game was a tic, as there
Is no rule demanding the gamo to be called
back to the previous inning when one ties the
score or goes ahead.' This will suffice as an
"ansn er to two'or three questions.
Quite an Argument.

A -GREAT SENSATION CAUSED.
Thousands See the Struggle Between the
Tictor, Kingman and Poet Scout.
GOOD EACING AT SHEEPSHEAD BAT
Chicago, Juno 20. Death to ne horse,
$I9,0C0to another that was the American
Derby of '91. Asa scarlet flash on the hori
zon, 50,000 people breathless, the gleam of
white beneath a wire and the richest stake
raco ever run in tho West was at an end.
. It was by Strathmeath, Xew York's
favorite son, the battle royal was won. Half
tfniilo off, where had been tho thick of tho
fight, lay motionless on the track the corpse
of his foe to the death. High Tariff. Tom
Kiley, the gallant beast's rider, twice a
Derby victor on that very couise, had this
time pushed tho limit of equine endurance.
There was a sudden plunge upward, a queer
stagger of 20 yards and High Tariff sunk
don n Into the mud lifeless.
'Whether in point of great horses, famous
jockeys, magnificence of fashionable display
and marvelous outpouring of people as well
as in the sensational incidents and bulky
purse probably no such race was ever wit
nessed this side of the Alleghenics certainly
not in Chicago. Xo one of the seven derbys
that in proceeding years have made Wash
ington Park cclcbnitcd more than feigned
interest the classic event of to-day. Just
enough bri)lianco shown" through the partly
overcast sky to light up the
Hundreds of Gay Bonnets
and bright hued parasols that peeped" opt
everywhere from club house to gate. Such
a multitude of the fair sex as put in appear
ance was wholly unprecedented "here and
so great was the crash that hundreds of
them were wedged helplessly in the enor
mous mob of heterogeneous' malesports that
packed tho lawn solid In front of the betting
ring.
The time came for tho big race, and all was
excitement. 'Everj-body looked for the
starters. This is tho way they were recordod:

Balgowan Was Scratched
about an hour before the race. There was
much regret expressed at Potomac's failure
to start, though it had been known for some
days that the Futurity winner had pulled up
lame in his work, and in consequence could
not bo sent West. At last the bugle sounded
for tho race and a frightful crush began to
secure advantageous positions from which to
view the race. Starter Sheridan mounted
his box nnd lectured the, boys. Then the
horses were placed in Hue aud were leady
for the start. The first trial was false,
half a dozen refusing to break. The
second attempt was without result.
At the third trial tho horses moved in solid
phalanx toward tho starter. Mr. Sheridan's
red flag was raised in the air for an instant
and with a swish descended. A mighty
shont went nut from the multitude. "They're
off!" Then the tiptoed thousands realized
with a thrill of delight that tlie great derby
was on. Forerunner, as if inspired by lifs
name, jumped to the front, and, closely fol
lowed by Pessara and Poet Scout, led to the
flrst turn. Ludowio was last, five lengths
away. Coming down the stretch Poet Scout
had" forged to tho frout, Stratmeath, who
had been in the rear division, movinc nu to
sccondplace.and Kingman third. Passing the
stand these positions were stendily main
tained. At the turn Michael bad workea to
the front and set a merry pace down the
back stretch, Poet Scout still second, while
Kingman and Strathmeath (tho two favor
ites) went back to the bunch.
It was at this point that
The Sensation of the Say
took place. High Tariff, a winner at Louis
ville, nnd ridden by Kiley had started sixth
as theflag'fellnndhad been,ahovod relent
lessly through .the heavy! gong, notwith
standing his 12r'pounds weight. Kiley'by
sheer force of' will seemed determined to
make a showing equaling Ills past record on
the course, and sufficient if within human
possibility to again carry oft the Inurels.
Well did the good animal respond to Kiley's
calls. Ho was visibly gaining and had passed
three competitors when nature rebelled. An
instant later the fleet racer was a hopeless
cripple, floundering wildly in the mire a
very caricature ot his former self. Kiley
regretfully tried to check tho poor n reck,
and at last succeeded, only 11 moment latei to
feci the animal tremble and full in a heap.
Kiley hastily extricated himself unhurt.
Meanwhile tho pace "of tho others never
halting for tho mishap had been getting hot
ter and hotter and tho horses swung into tho
stretch with Poet Scout in front, strathmeath-second
and Michael third. Overton
now besan to ride the tiring leader desper
ately nnd for n momentlooked as if lie might
win, but Covington brought Strathmeath by
the outer rails up with a rush, stealing the
former tactics of Kingman's rider, nnd won
by an open length without the use of whip or
spur. Poet Scout was second and half a
length before Kingman third. Time,2:I9.

He Defeats John Kramer in a Sprint Race,
and Wins Lots of Money.
The local sprinters are booming now and

The race yesterday at Recreation Park was
between William Lehman, of Mt. Washing
ton, and John Kramer, pf Penn avenue, and

yards.
Both runners had undergone a careful
training for the race, and a good crowd was
present to see them run. Mr. P. Connolly
was referco and George Smith pistol flrer.
The bettlm; was extremely brisk. It com
menced at evens, and the Penn nvenne con
tingent tiore so confident of victory that
the3" Anally outbid the Lehman parts-, and 2
to 1 were offered on Kramer. It is, indeed,
some time since thero was such spirited bet
ting on a local raceC
When tb.e men got to the mnrk, Lehman
being a littlo impatient, got away before the
pistol and was, as per rule, penalized a yard.
Finally the men got n.'way o a good start,
and Lehman got his opponent when SO j-ards
had been run. He then tvent to the front,
winning a good race by about a yard and a
half in 10JJ seconds.
Last evening tho, same two runners were
matched to run again, Lehman to concede
Kramer a yard and a half start in 103, for $250
a side. Tho race is to be run at Recreation
P.irk on July 11. Each party put tip a forfeit
of $25 and signed articles of agreement.

105MCE OF A EACE.
How a Nervy Philadelphia Woman
Won $4,000 at. the Suburban.
PLACED HER CASH ON SENTIMENT.
She Was an Admirer of Leamington aud
Had Faith in His Progeny.
DOW SITE TA3IED TUB BLACK BEADTT
Philadelphia, Juno 20. It has Just leaked
out that a Philadelphia woman won $4,0CO on
Loantaka at the Suburban. She had
backed him $100 worth as a matter of senti
ment, jicvcr expecting to win, at odds
of 43 to 1 and consequently "pulled out" $4,000.
This lady was Mrs. Efflo Meredith Xorris,
than whom there was no liner horsewoman,
nor one more devoted to horseflesh nnd dogs
in Philadelphia, until in a runaway she met
with' injuries that cost her her left arm.
Every day, fair or foul, saw her in the
saddle almost from daylight to luncheon,
and afterward, till dark, her horse and her
dog, her only companions. Her only son
Meredith, was killed in a railroad accident
ou his way back to Xew York from
the Coney Island races in 1883. "While
he lived she was fond of racing as
well as horses. When Meredith tins a lit
tle boy she drove up to Aristides Welch's
place at Chestnut Hill, to see the magnifi
cent black animal, Leamington, out of curi
osity nnd out of her love of horseflesh. Mr.
Welch's groom insisted that tlie horse was
in too ngly a temper to be seen by anyone.
Leamington wns subject to fits of frenzy,
when 'it was unsafe for anyone to go near
him.
Tamed the Spirited AnlinaL
On this day, though he was blind-folded
with an oats bag, the big horse was a terror
to his groom. "I insist upon seeing him,"
persisted young Mrs. Xorris, and 3Ir. Welch
ordered the half-scared groom to trot out tho
the lion tiliich the lady had driven so
Mrs. Xorris stood on the paddock and the
fiery beast nas driven in. Ho approached
her and, wonderful to relate, fawned upon
her as a whipped spaniel does upon his
master.
After that it was a question which ad
mired Mrs. Xorris tho more, Leamlncton or
his rongh-spoken but gcutlc-hearted master.
A picture of Leamington always huftg in
Mrs. Xorris house alter that, and she kept
track of his progeny ever after with great
pride and affection.
In 1880 Girofle, fnll sister to Iroquois, a
2-year-old Ally, by Leamington, was entered
at Saratoga. Mrs. Xorris and her son. Mere
dith, were at the track and Mrs. Xorris, who
had a sentimental interest in Girofle, for her
sire's sake, told her son to buy her two $5
"mntuals" on the Ally. '"But, mother, she
can't win.'N remonstrated Meredith Xorris.
In fact, Girofle was tihat would be called
now a rank outsider. .
She Wop Once Before.
Mrs. Xorris was firm in her whim, however,
and her "mntuals" won. Girofle came in
flrst, nnd Mr Xorris' judgment, until her
son's tragic death, was thereafter regarded
as infallible. Tho horso she backed and,
like her son, sho was not only fond of horses,
bnt of racing events seemed nlways sure to
win.
When the Suburban began to be talked of
Mrs. Xorris saw ioantaka among tho "long
shots." She knew he was Sensation's colt,
and that Sensation was by her old cquino
Idol, Leamington. A tittle sentiment,
as- she told a friend of hers, in
duced her to ask someone who was
bound for the suburban to back Leaming
ton's neglected grcnt colt. $100 straight, at
tho odds given, 40 to 1. Leamington blood
won, and Mrs.Xorris'bltof sentiment netted
hera handsomo sum.

A Plain Truth Told by One
Who Was Cured.
ADDITIONAL PROOF.
'Whilst ,fho world's attention is often
claimed by a recent discovery and investi
gations inaugurated to discover tho merits
of the claims advancedby the discoverers, it,
oftentimes, loses sight o'f older claims that,
in nearly every case, are of moro benefit,
having been proven so. Hundreds have
tested tho claims of Drs. Copeland and
Blair's treatment of all catarrhal troubles,
and all unite in praising its merits. This
week is added the following : '
JUV. Bernanl IXUion, Ot Forty-third ttreet. Law
renceville. Mr. Bernard Fallon .says: "I suffered for
over 11 years'. My troubles originated from
colds. I had dnll pains in the' head, abovo
the eyes. There were buzzing and roaring
noises in my ears. My eyes u ere weak and
watery. My nose stopped up and the mucus
dropped into my throat I continually
snuficd and hawked. My throat was raw
nnd sore. Had both sharp and dull pains in
the chest. My limbs ached me. and I often
times became dizzy. My appetite failed me.
I always felt tired upon arising in the morn
ing. I felt vert- bad. in fact, I thought I
should never regain my health. I tried doc
tor after doctor without success. After tak
ing Drs; Copeland and Blair's tieatuiont I
began to improve rapidly nutil now I feel
better in every way. Too much praise can
not be given to them.
