MADE A BAD START.
Onr Sluggers Are Beaton In the First Iu
nlnc By the Phillies.
It may be very easy to account for the de
feat of our sluggers at Exposition Park yes
terday by the
Phillies. Some
people micht
think that there
iras a powerful
Jonah influence
at work in the
way of the pres
ence of a brass
band on the
grounds and also
the fact that it
was ladies' day.
But the plain
and stubborn
fact of the mat
mtori
tmr
ter was the in
ability of our sluggers to slug the balL As
far as knocking out safe hits were concerned
they were nowhere and alter everything is
said and done it is hitting the ball good and
hard that counts. Scratch victories mayJ
some and go, but the fellows who bang the
ball about the lot are the winners. That is
Just what the local players have not been
doing lately.
Tlmly Bits "Wore Absent.
A few good and timely cracks would have
won yesterday's game easily. Knell was
in .the box for the visitors, and he looked
zvery inch like a gentleman that could be
touched up without much trouble. He was
very wild at stages, and in the way of giv
ing bases on ballshe gave the home players
many a good chance to win. AVild ai he
Mas several times the local men had not
patience to wait for their bases, but swiped
an ay at bad balls to no purpose.
When Knell did get the ball across the
plate he was a pnzzler to the home batters.
lie may not be able to fool other teams
Tery much, but yesterday he was very
effective against the borne team, But it is
oniv fair to say that 'luck was dead against
the home players. Several times some of
them li it the ball good solid cracks, good
enough for two or three bases, but the ball
would go straight into somebody's hands.
In this respect, that is relative to lucky
nnd unlucky hits, fortune was all on the
side of the visitors.
IjoIs of Ladles TTere Present.
The weather was very unfavorable, as
rain tell at intervals until two or three
innings had been played. It was ladies'
dav, however, and, as a result, there were
nearly 3,000 people in the grounds. The
ladies were vory numerous, and only about
1,200 of the spectators paid admission
money. "SVhether or not the band and
ladies' day has any bad influences may be
liaid to determine, but the fact remains
that our sluggers lose on'such occasions.
The game was lost in the first inning.
At that early stage the Phillies got a lead
that was never overcome, and they only
made three runs at that Ehret started out
badly, and he was more responsiole tor the
runs thin anybody else. After that he
pitched a good game, and lie would have
been on the winning side if two or three
more safe hits had been made by his col
leagues. The fielding of the home players
was'not of the best in many respects, but
the errors made were not very costly.
The visitors played an excellent game,
and, although the veteran. Harry "Wricht
has both Cross and Clements on the dis
abled list, he has a fine team.
1 he Visitors Tle'ded TTrl'.
Their fielding yesterday was first-class.
Altogether the contest was a good one to
see, as the score was close enough tokeep
everybody interested in every movement,
because right to the last inning there ap
peared to be good hopes of the locals pull
ing out of the hole. They did not and
tliere.was not much complaining about it.
Hamilton opened out hostilities and
Ehret hit him with the first ball pitched.
Chnrley Keilly dodged about until he sac
rificed Hamilton to second and Halllman's
sacrifice sent the runner to third. This
looked all right, but Farmer Sam Thomp
son got a hot one past Farrell for two bases
and Hamilton scored. Thii wasn't alL
Delehanty whacked the ball to the left cen
ter fence for three bajs and Thompson
scored. Boger Connor knocked a grounder
to first base and the ball struck the bag.
causing Beckley to muff" the pall and Dcle
bauty got home with the third run.
In the fourth the home players com
menced to make runs, but their efforts did
no' amount to mnoh. After Smith was out
Kelly made a tbree-bsgger to left field and
scored on Parrell's single.
In ihe filth inning the visitors made their
fourth and last run. Hamilton started off
with a scratch single, got to second on
Beillr's sacrifice and scored on Hallman's
single to left
The home players made their last run in
the eighth'. Miller got his base on balls
and Donovan fonled ont Smith came with
a hit to the right fence for three bases, and
The next two men went out in order, and
Smith was left on third. The score:
, defeat y-k

Momf orrrn PiiiK Raoe Trace. Aver. 25. The
rralone. nrstTam IftsrMay's racing of the meeting was inauau
s'lcbois. 4. Struck out rated by a veritable down pour of rain.
which transformed the track into a running
canal of mud and water. . After the second
race had been decided the sky cleared and
the sun shone warmly throughout tho re
mainder of the afternoon. The Moyene
gelding, 8 to S favorite, took the Cartel
handicap in easy style from Lustre and AJax,
but the Jersey handicap was a genuine
horse race, Marr 5 to 2, and Pickpocket, 3 to
1, making a dead heat after being locked
together all through the final quarter of a
mile. Pessara, 6 to 5, passed Correction, 0 to
5, at the end of five furlongs and took the
first race iu handy fashion.
BusselLthe 6 too favorite forthe third race,
sulked from start to finish, leaving Plclc
nlcker, 8 to 5, to win in a gallop, with May
Win, 5 to 1, in the place. In the betting on
the lifth race Minnehaha went up from 1 to
5 too to 5, yet she won easily, being held
back to a neck finish. The sport was then
brought to a close with an accident that re
sulted in Julio breaking his neck by being
knocked against the fence at a point about
half way down the chute. The colt, died
instantly. Jockey Penn escaped injury.
The three starters were owned and trained
by the Littlefield fumlly, and Schuylkill the
4 to 1 outsider, won in a gallop.
SUMllABY.
First race, 6lx furlongs Pessara, 8 to 8. won bv
two lengths; Correction, 9 to 5, second by two
lengths, whipping: Stalactite, 3 to i, third. Time,

The Besnlts of Yesterday's Flay at the Great
Newport Gathering.
Newport, It L, Aug. 25. The play In the
national tennis tournament this morning
resulted: Third round Wrenn beat Baa
long, Stevens beat Ames, Hovey beat Post,
Larned beat Gryorth.
The programme for the day inclnded the
eight matches in the third round. The
match between Eobart and the younger
llall called forth some of the best tennis seen
during the tournament Hall in the early
games of the set did not seem to have quite
worked up, but soon raised himself. Mainly
upon bis more careful and gonerally bettor
play he crept up nolnt by tialnt. E. L. Hall
beat Hobart 8-6, 4-0, 4 0, 6-2, 0-4.
It was late this afternoon when the last
match In the third round was finally com
pleted. The most Interest was taken after
the Hall-llobart contest was decided, in
that between Sam Chase and Smith, of
Philadelphia, This added another to
the long list of surprises thus
far recorded. Smith was expected to
win easily from Chase, who, in spite
of longer cxperttnce,bas not been doing such
good work recently as in years post. Smith,
who was looked to" as most likely to stay to
tho end, was for some reason unable to
maintain his pace and fell off badly
in tho deoldlng set, getting only
a single gome and so losing the match.
The play throughout, except in the last set
was not only very even; but almost uni
formly good, and was pronounced by some
as among the prettiest of the week.

Violent Exercise.
Fat is a vnlgar word. Too much
adiposis or obesity sounds better.
But fat is plainer. You cannot re
duce it by violent exercise. There
are two kinds of fats.
The unhealthy adipose tissue, re
sulting from sedentary habits or from
forcing the appetite through stimu
lants; or from impure blood, or it
may be hereditary. This is the kind
that lays the possessor liable to heart
disease, apoplexy, vertigo, etc
Then there is the genuine, healthy,
life-giving tissue, the result from
regular and moderate habits, or if ir
regular habits, the taking regularly
and according to directions the
famous Carlsbad Sprudel Salt- The
Salt will reduce unhealthy tissue and
build in its place that firm and solid
flesh which is the certain sign of per
fect health. It is virtually taking the
Carlsbad treatment in your home.
Every drugstore has it. The genu
ine has the signature of "Eisner &
Mendelson Co., Sole Agents, New
York," on the bottle. F
