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. Score:

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.

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.

Speaking of the meeting last evening
Secretary McCracken said: "We certainly
expect to have a big entry list and we are
also hopeful of getting one or two great
special features. 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. Brown & Rogers made a great mis
take when they nominated Pickpocket for
the Oninibus.lnstoad of the great colt Lamp
lighter, wlnnoi of the Champion staaes and
holder of the record at a mile and a half.
Many horsemen contend that this smashing
brown colt Is the master of Tammanv, and
it is a thousand pities that the pair will not
meet to-morrow.

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. Yours truly, Eddie Pierce.
