Louis 8 THE TROUBLESOME. SENATORS. They Get a Tfrj Close Game From Onr TJn fortnnate Slackers. Those Senators from "Washington hare been bothersome fellows for onr sluggers all this season, and they kept up their record yes terday. They might not have been eo trouble some by a long U .1. . g!t' "jvd-" been B0 materi i f , rtgi a"y aided by ell, who umpired the game. Gaff ney was sched uled to officiate, but he did not arrive, and Mitchell was called in to fill up the breach. This was an unfortunate filling up for the Pittsburgers, as Mitchell really had an off day as an umpire. True, he did the best he could, but it was extremely unfortunate that his very bad decisions were almost all costly to the home team. Had these bad decisions cot been made the home team might still not have won, but their chances would certainly have been better. Mitchell lias Considerably Off. Mitchell was completely at sea on balls and strikes and Eliret was the great sufferer. He had men struck out, but bad judgment gave them bases on balls. Ehret is not a kicker by any means, bat Mitchell really caused Red to object yesterday. And in the ninth inning, with two men on bases and nobody out,Shugart beat an infield hit to first. There was no doubt about it, but Shugart ms called out, and it is needless to say that there was any amount of hooting and howl ing by the crowd. Mitchell's work was bad, to say the least of it. But Killen was the greatest difficulty the local players had to encounter. He pitched very eflectivelv and hit the ball hard. Our slucgers could do nothing with him and that was the chief cause of their defeat. But in a tight contest a bad decision of the utnnire invariably has a wonderful effect Killen seemed to have the local, players at his mercy and he was very well supported. But he was evidently rattled in the ninth inning, and had Shugart been declared safe it is difficult to say what the result would have been, because Killen is not the sweet est of young men with three men on bases and nobody out. Eliret 1'llclied In Good Form. Ehret also pitched splendidly, and it was no fault of his that the game was lost. The fielding was not of the best, and a ridicu lously wild throw by Farrell in the seventh inning had a very disastrous effect. Shugart was hot in the best of form, either, al though once or twice he made a brilliant plav. The visitors went to bat first and were re tired in order, but in an unusual way. Bad ford led ofl with a scratch infield Hit, and he tried to steal second. He got a good start, but was nabbed fully six feet from second base. A wild throw by Farrell al lowed Dowd to reach first, and He was lorced out by Hoy. The latter tried to steal sec ond, and he also was cleverly thrown out by Mack. In the second half Miller got to first on balls and he soon stole second aided by a passed ball. Donovan knocked a fly to Richardson- and was out. Miller then stole third without much trouble and scored on Mack's sacrifice hit. Jso more scoring was done until the sixth inning and up to that stage it looked as if the game would end one to nothing in favor of the home team so well were both pitchers performing. But a change came. Killen led off in the sixth and he got fairly onto a good one and whacked the ball clear to the right center fence. He did not venture to make home on it and stopped at third. Ehret struck Radford out and had two strikes on Dowd when the latter made a lit tle hit to right, scoring the run. liern the Guma Was Lost. Jn the next inning Milliean led off and made a single to left. Berger followed and tried to bunt the ball. He did bunt it eventually, and Farrell got the ball and could easily have thrown Milligan out at second, but there was nobody there to cover the base. Farrell threw theball to first and it went clean over Beckley's head, Milligan scoring and Berger reachinc third. Mc Guire made a single and Berger scored. Richardson's sacrifice sent McGuire to third and then Killen was given his base on balls, although he was fairly struck out. Radford's sacrifice scored McGuire. In the second half of the ninth inning Kelly led ofi with a single and got to second on a wild throw by Radford. Beckley got his base od balls and then Shugart knocked the ball between Killen and Richardson. Killen ran for it and fumbled it When he picked tip the ball, close to first base, and threw it Shusrart then had his foot on the bag. Shugart was called out and there was lots of kicking. Bierbauer kocked a long fly to right, which Dowd caught, and Kelly (cored on the throw in. Farrell loomed up to try to save the day and nearly did it lie knocked the ball far into center and it looked like a homer, but Hoy made a great catch and nabbed it brilliantly, and the jig was up.

President Wagner Points Oat What Base hall lUacnntes Mean to Do. George Wagner, President of the Washing ton ball club, Is traveling with the team nnd he Is one of the most genial eentlemen connected with the baseball business. Dur ing a conversation yesterday on general affairs, he said: "It may be considered certain that as far as baseball is concerned, everything will be the same in the League next yearasit is this year. What I mean is that the same general principles will operate. There will be two seasons and a twelve-club League. That much is certain 'But we must have baseball down to thor oushlv business principles. We must have salaries cut down commensurate with the receipts. It is impossible to continue pay ing salaries ir the money does not come In at the gate. This is the third year that I have been In the business, and my brother and myself have lost enormously in the two past years and we will lose again. Onr books will show that In the Athletic club alone wo snnk $76,000 nnd had nothinz to show for It at the finish. Nobody likes to pay big salaries better than I do, but if the club does not make the money I cannot con tribute $20,000 or $30,000 a year to the busi ness. If the receipts would warrant it I would be in favor of paying good players 15,000 a year. If all cities ere like Pitts burg; we might get alon:r, but they are not "It is certain, therefore, that a general re duction of salaries will bo made bofore next season comes. This must be done and every capitalist in the bnslness knows it" Mr. Wagner and Manager Irwin are of oninion that they have a good team, but that they have been in hard luck lately. Larkln and Mulligan have been unable to play owing to injuries and this has weakened the battery of the team. Manager Irwin is well satisfied with the work of Berger. THE STATE LEAGUE.

Corbett Certainly Speaks Tory Plainly About the Ex-Pittsbarc Boxer. Asbubt Park, Aug. 15. Jim Corbett had a busy time of it yesterday. A stream nprlslt ors poured across the Deal Lake bridge to tint pretty cottage occupied by the big fighter. One of them was Phil Dwyer, one of the heaviest backers. Dwyer expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with Corbett's condition. Jim rethrnod yesterday morning from Trenton, where he gave a sparling exhibition Saturday evenintr. Testeiday atternoon be played several brisk games of handball, deleatimr Dr. Shannon, of Now Brunswick, and Chailea Griffin and John Comiskey, of New Tort. The big Californlan Is in the pink of condition. Corbett seemed to Do somewhat amused when his attention was called to some state ments recontly made by Domtnlck McCaf frey. "McCaffrey fays 1 won all my light by scratches, catching my opponents when they were in poor condition," said Corbett. "It's funny McCaffrey did not scratch out when he touznt little Jack Dempsoy. I notice McCaffiey says he Is in better condi tion now than ever before. Now, I will make this proposition to him. Whether I win or lose the flshtwitn Snlllvan.I shall beglad to go to the Manhattan Athletic Club, where McCaffrey is boxing Instructor, and stop htm in four rounds in the presence of his friends and pupils, or I will give him $1,000 if he will stand before me four rounds at the Madison Square Garden, where I shall appear on the evening of Sept. 12, or If that is not satisfactory I will give him $250 for every ronnd he survives there. As McCaffrey has amnio time to prepare, this will effectually prove that my victory over him was not a scratch, ai he calls it" SULLIVAN BULL LOSING FLESH. He Trains Down tn 208 Pounds and Is Still In the Best of Condition. Canoe Place, Ins., Aug. 15. Special John L. Sullivan Is still losing flesh. When ho re turned Irom his spin this morning and after he was rubbed down he weighed only 203 pound. This is two pounds less than the weight at which lie is expected to enter the ring on September 7. Among the numerous visitors who spent Sunday with the big fellow was Dom McCaffrey. The lattor was enthus iastic In praise of the champion's condition, lie said he had seen him In training for sov oral of his previous battles, and had never known him to be in better fettle. McCaf frey remained two nights in the Inn and ac companied Sullivan and his trainers toShln necock Light and return. No one in this violnity has any doubt of the result of the fight at New Orleans. Everyone who sees Sullivan is impressed with the mas sive frame of the champion and the force of his terrible right arm as he pnnohes the has. It Is in this exercise that Sullivan seems to take the greatest pleasure. As he chews gum his jaw wags as industriously as those of a Yassur girl. His real execution is done almost invariably with the right arm in a sort of half s Ins across his chest, which sends the bag acalnst the celling with a whack that threatens to burst ft. It Is Trainer Casey's Intention to get the big fel low down to 200 pounds If it is possible to do so without Injury to his system. Conrt Tennis at Newport Newport, Aug. 15. Speriaf. The second of the two annual meetings of the Casino corporation was held- to-day. Ex.Governor George Peabody Wetmore, Ogdea Goelet, Nathaniel Thayer and H. C.

A week of conrt tennis was begun this morning in the Casino court by a professional match be tween Tom Pettlt, the American champion, and Alfred Tompkins, marker of the New York Racquet Club. There was but a small attendance. Pettlt gave Tomnklns the big odds of half of every other game, but Pettlt won three straight sets by 6-S, 6 3, 6-4. To morrow a professional lour-handed contest will be played On Thursday the amateur championship tournanieut will begin with some naif dozen entries. Proposed Racine at East Palestine.

Bailey is an excellent starter for bicycle races, lie did not have a very hard event to start a week ago yesterday, but he got everyboay off just as they should have been sent away. George A. Banker received this week from New York a magnificent two-thirds life size oil painting of himself, taken from an In stantaneous photograph of a race at Man hattan Field, New York.

Tnc Coraopolis Tennis Club is preparing for its tournament the last week in the pres ent month. B. Reed, or Pittsburg, wrh entered in the Latrobe tournament, but he did not show up for the singles. Christy, of Sewickley, has been practicing lately, and intends to get into the finals at the Sewickley tonrney. The tournament of the East End Gyms early in September, is to be one of the most interesting events of the season. W. T. Tbedwat, President or the Cora opolis Tennis Club, was a participator In the Latrobe Tennis Tournament last week. Thursday a handicap tournament will commence on the Pittsburg Tennis Club's courts. It will be open to members only. F. X Barr has been out of town the last week, but he is back again and will be found frequently at the Pittsburg Tennis Club court from now on. Moorbead Is playing in his old-time form again avid will give some of the Eastern and Western champions a hard game at the Invitation tournament In September.

Ewino, the holder of the Grogan cup, will be in the Sewickley tournament. He is still playing the strong game he played when he won the championship ot Western Pennsyl vania. The young ladles of Coraopolis almost de serted tennis during the past week. They devoted their attention to horseback riding, and not infrequently as many as ten were seen riding together. John Wilson, of the Coraopolis players, has not been playing his usual game lately: His friends fear that unless ne recovers his nerve and dexterity bo will lose the cham pionship in the next tournament There was some very fine playing at the Latrobe tournament on Thursday andi Fri day. The finals in the singles between Moorhead and Pier wore particularly excit ing, and five sets were necessary to deter mine the winner. There were 12 games in rni1 ir.T. THE FALL MEETING. Splendid Programme for Trotting and Facing Races at Homewood Park. TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS OFFERED. Jim Corbett Gives Dominict McCaffery a Very Strong Call Down. ALL THB BPORTING NEWS OF THE DAT. Everything has been definitely decided for the fall meeting at Homewood Driving Park, and it promises to be one of the big gest fall meetings ever held in this city. Altogether it is intended to offer pnrses aggregating $10,000 for the four days. This is a very large sum for a fall meeting, and it is expected that some of the best trotters and pacers in the country will be here. The meeting, as previously stated In this paper, will commence on September 13 and continue for four days. The classes and purses for each day are as follows: FIRST DAT. 2:40 class, trotting 2:21 class, pacing..... 2:29 class, trotting .800 . 800 .

The entrance fee is only S per cent of the winnings aud I am sure we will have some of the best horses in the country here. We did very well with our summer meeting and that has prompted us to make such good offers for the fall races. The classes ere such that all kinds of horses can euter and we mean to have the track in first class condition." Regarding the special features it is under stood that efforts are being made to have either Arion or Sunol, or both, here to try arid beat the record. Some time ago Mar vin declared his willingness to bring Arion here to try and beat the record and it may be that he is still so inclined If he doe's the event will certainly attract an immense crowd and make it profitable for everybody. TH2 OMNIBUS STAKES. A Few Pointers Ab-iut tho Horses fop To Dy Big Race. New York, Aug. 15. Special.' Tho Omni bus stakes will be decided at Monmouth Park to-morrow. The Pepper, Huron and Hex have been specially prepared lor the race, and Tammany will have to run fast to win. But, although The Pepper Is a good, game colt, the local contingent will be beggared if Tammany doesn't dispose or him In much the same fashion that he did in the Bealiza tionandLoiillnrd stakes. It Is mighty un fortunate for Colonel Pepper that Tammany is such a crack, as with Marcus Daly's chest nut son of Iroquois out of the way The Pep per would cut a wide swath, and the Colonel would be some $55,000 or $60,003 richer. Tammany has not appeared in public since ho won the Larillard stakes almost a month ago. but tho great colt Is as fit as hands can make him, and Byrnes is very sangnine or winning to-morrow's great race. His work has been as good as that of anv colt of his age In any year, and that is saying a great deal. It was feaied that GarrlBon would not be able to ride, but the taot that the Snapper rode on Saturday at 120 pounds, and will not be com pelled to reduce in order to do the weight on Tammany, makes It a certainty that he will be astride Mr. Daly's colt to-morrow. Huron was very highly thought of Dy Ed Corrlgan when lie sent him East to Green B. Morris to run in the Lorillard stakes, but the trip must havo taken away both staying Eowor nnd speed, as the Western colt was eaten at tho 'end of three-quarters of a mile. Those who have been at Saratoga' sny that he is one of the most improved horses at that track, so the public nee J not be sur pi ised if this 3-year-old disturber which got Ed Corrigan into a snarl with the Coney Island Jockey Club should land a piece of the money. Messrs.

EILBAIN A SULLIVAN MAN. Jake States Why lie Thinks John L. Will Beat Corbett. New York, Aug. 15. Jake KUraln is a Snl llvan man. To an intimate jrlend who vis ited him in Baltimore a few days ago Jake gave his ideas of the fight "I think Corbett is one of the shiftiest men I ever saw," said he, "but he doesn't class with John L. Sullivan ns a fighter. When I met Corbett in New Orleans I was really surprised at his cleverness. Ilad I known how'.sliit'tv ho was I should have done some training. I was out pointed, but had the contest been to a finish, the result, I believe, would have been different. I noticed one thing about Corbett. He does not like in fighting. Every time we got at close quar ters I punched away at his wind. Having one hand free I had a perfect ltght to do so. But he appealed to the referee, and no in fighting was allowed alter tho third round. 1 was weak when I entered the ring, but the several body blows 1 landed made him wince. What will he do when a man like Sullivan pounds his wind! Corbett himself is anything but a hard puncher. They can all talk about Sullivan's broken-down con stitution and all that Ho is a remarkable man, and can tight twentv-four hours at a stretch if he is properly trained." G0DDAKD TO THE FK0UT. Billy Madden Looms TJp With Another V onld-Be Champion Pugilist New York, Aug. 15. Special. In a letter from Mechanlcsvllle Billy Madden says: "I understand Jake KUraln will meet my new champion, Joe Goddard. If such Ls the case, Goddard, on his arrival in New York, will meet Kilrain In a contest of four rounds in the Academy of Music or in Madison Square Garden, any time after the 15th of September that will suit Kilrain. I have forwarded a letter to the Coney Island Ath letic Club nsking them to put up a purse of $25,000 for a contest between the winner of the Sullivan and Corbett contest and God dard. irthey do not send a favorable an swer Goddard shall light any man in the world lor $5,000 a side and the largest purse. I am going to New Orleans and will meet Joe Goddard there." Willing to Fight Again. New York, Aug. 15. Special. Since the 41-round battle at the Coney Island Athletic Club both Siddonsand Fierce have expressed themselves, in Intervals, as being willing to face each other again in the ring, but it has been left for Fierce to come out In a letter over his own signature challenging the New Orleans boy to another encounter. Pierce's letter is as follows: "To the Editoror the Sun Sin I read some time ago in the Sun that Siddons was surprised at the verdict of our la"t fight If he thinks he is able to whip me I will give him a chance to try conclusions. If he will meet me at the Sun office on Friday evening, Aug. 19, at 6 o'clock, and deposit $500 to bind a match between him anu myself for the laigost purse offered bv any club, and a side bet of from $1,000 to $2,500 a side, the fight to take place three months after signing articles, I will guarantee him 11 match then and there.
