ALL THE BASEBALL NEWS OF INTEREST rrr.ciAi, telecbam to t;ik niPATcn.i "Washington, May 27. Rooters for the Senators had a chance to yell themselves hoarse this aft ernoon in the contest with the Pitts b u r g e r s and the pent tip baseball enthu siasm of a month was given free rent when the local team pulled a hotly contested game out of the fire. Pitcher Knell assisted Pittsburg pre 11 vm. .,- sr-L CM -. vious to the Sixth inning by two overthrows to Lnrkiii, giving the Pittsburgs one run in the fourth, and helping them nsrain in the succeeding inning to tally three more scores. Two yames had been advertised for this after noon, but a heavy donnpour of rain shortly fter 1 o'clock rendered playing impossible and the grounds were in such bad condition that it was (eared both games would have to be postponed. And the Snn Came Oat Again. However, the sun came out a little after 3 o'clock and the teams took agood practice to familiarize themselves with the muddy park. Despite this condition errors were 3ew, and in the cae of the Pittsburgs IPitcher Galvin s-noiled an otherwise clean score tor his side bv a fumble of Donovan's grounder in the opening inning. Five hits were made oil tralvin in as many innings, but he kept them scattered, and on two oc casions the Senators were retired with men on second and third bases. Meanwhile Pittsburc had tailed to gauge Knell with the exception ot Uierbauer until the fourth inning, when Shugart opened u. for his ride with a clean sinde to right field. Beck ley bunted successfully, but wa declared out lor running out ofline. and then llav xnond came to his companion's rescue with a liner over Kadford's head. rarrell Kept tV ths ran." Farrcll kept up the stick work, but Ray mond and Mack were thrown out at second by Milligan in attempting to steal and by Danny Richardson's quick handling of Corkhill's grounder to short. "Thcie conies old '77," sang out Foghorn Miller as Galvin ambled up to the plate in the fifth inning. There was a smash and a crack in the sky, the result being "Pap's" sate arrival at second. Larkiu fumbled Miller's hit along the first base line, and l!ierbauer and Shugart, after giving chances to retire the side, were enabled to score through Knell's second wild throw over Abe first baseman's head. Four to nothing matic the bleachers groan, but in the sixth innin; big Milligan revived their hopes by a triple to center, and on Richardson's sac rifice "Washington's first tally was scored. Ciphers were in order for thcPittsbnrgs in the succeeding innings, it being a case of one, two, three, relieved only by a couple of bases on balls and Farrell's second base hit. Where Matters Looked Very Bad. "When the seventh inning closed, how ever, the Senators had tied the score and all through big Milligan again. Radford flew out and Hov went to first on a clean drive to right, then Donovan gave Miller a fly and Larkin went to first on balls. Duffce iilled the bases with a single over third base and Milligan cleared them with a doublc baL'ger. Richardson ended the run getting by going out at first. Doubles bv Radford and Hoy in the eighth led to another earned run being scored and a clincher was put on the game in the last inning, when Donovan was presented with a base on balls and after a daring steal was sent home on singles bv Richardson and Milligan. Knell was the only one of the local team to strike out. but lie 5iad previously sized up his opponent for two clean hits It was a slugging game in which the Senators were on top.

Danvllles Fait "Very Kasy Marks toTorrey ion's Lot of Hustlers. The Pittsburg team of the Stato League had quite an easy task in defeating tho Dan ville representatives j-estc-iday afternoon at Kxnosition Park. The weather was damp and cold and thogiounds'weroina wretched condition. Less than 300 people were pres ent to see the game. The contest, it such it could be called, was n very poor one, as the visitors wero never in the hunt. They are, to say the least, a very poor lot of players, some of them ap parently not having a knowledge of even tho rudiments of tho game. Their flcldimr was bad: their battln; worse and their Judgment very, very had. But they ate to he strengthened to-day. Henry Jones pitched for the home players, and, although ho had little or no speed, ho managed to get through the game with only- four hits iccorded against him. Cote, who is really a good little catcher, supported him well. Miller had an ofl day and fielded miserably. Bhoados was something of a mark for tho home players and he was hit hard, but ho had some very poor fielders behind him. Umpire Murtha's decisions were, generally speaking, very wide ot the mat k, both on balls and strikes and on bases. But his bad j udgtnent allectcd both sides. The score: PITTS. It B P A E'DANVILLE.

The champions, however, are not discouraged, but on tho contrary aro rather elated over netting an opportunity to test their batting abilities against the much-talked or New Englander. Will Gumbcrt, who has been doing such excellent work 'this season, will do the twirling for the Gyms and Steen will support him. The Gyms will play Locke, a new man, at shortstop. , lie played with Wcllsburs last season and is a good all around player. The game will bo called nt 4 o'clock.

His Highness Is at Shecpsbcad Bay. and the colt has grown Into a flue, noble looking animal, and If he Is not the star of the year there will be much disappointment in certain quarters. Teuton's reported breaking down dispels all hope of bringing this formerly good horse to the post for IheSuburbin. Fit and as good as he was when he ran away with the first Wheeler handicap he would have possessed a chance of winning sec ond to that of no horse entered lor the great race. The owner of Sir Walter presented Garrison with $2.C0J after the colt's victory in the Great American stakes Thursday. It Is going very far to say that the Snapper" earned tuat much by his riding, but he certainly did great work on the youngster.

THOUGHT HE KILLED A MAN. Wild Actions of John Lelghton Shoots His Friend and Then Tries to nd His Own Lire Starts for Chicago and Lands in Jail. John Leighton, a would-be murderer and suicide,now languishes in the county jail with a bullet wound in bis left breast inflicted by his own hand. Leighton has been em ployed by Frauenheim & Vilsack, the brew ers, as a driver. He has been on a pro traced spree, however, and has not been working any of late. "Wednesday night Leighton was pretty well sobered up, but along toward midnight began to drink heavily again. When the saloons closed at 12,o'clock his thirst was not satiated, and he cast around in hts'mind to discover a place where he could get another drink. He went to the boarding house of Cecilia Frietz, at 3452 Ligioner street, and asked for Henry Arney, a friend of his who boarded with her. Arney came to the door, and to him Leighton told his wants. Arney told him that he did not have any liquor, and also told him that he had better go home and go to bed as he had enough. He then shut the door in his face. Leighton became enraged at this and drew a 32 cali ber revolver Irom his pocket and fired -at Arney. The bullet went through tne aoor and struck him in the wrist shattering it. Leighton then ran to his boarding house, which was a few doors belo-v, and crying "I've killed him," placed the revolver to his breast and fired. Immediately he repented of his action, and in tones of anguish be seeched the landlady to go for a doctor. Dr. Asthalter was summoned and dressed the injury, which proved to he slight. This was about 3 o'clock inthe morning. As soon as it grew light, Leigh ton got a cab and drove to the Union depot and purchased a ticket lor Chicago. He then' returned to the house to get some clothes. In the meantime Arney went before Al derman Kerr and swore out a warrant against Leighton charging him with feloni ous shooting. Constable Jack went to the house and arrested him just as he was pack ing up to leave. In default of $2,000 bail he was committed to jail to await a hearing this afternoon between 3 and 4 o'clock.
