Pittsburg Defeats the Champions by 4 to 3 in a Close Contest. TANNEHILL PITCHES WELL Pirate Twirler Strikes Out Eleven Brooklyn Batters Hughes Wild hut Effective. Brooklyn, loet the game with Pittsburg at Washington Park this morning by a score of 4 to 3. It was a battle royal, under adverse conditions, up to the ninth inning, when with two men out, a wild throw by Kelley allowed Hans Wagner to scamper home with the winning run. Hughes and Tannehill were the opposing pitchers, and, while the former allowed only six hils, he had poor control of the slippery ball and gave five free passes to first, beside hitting one man and making a wild pitch.

Tannehill was hit oftener than Hughes but he had wonderful control, striking out eleven men and giving but two bases on balls. Hans Wagner and little Claud Ritchie won the game for Pittsburg by hard and timely hitting. They were the only members of the visiting team to make hits off Hughee, the champion batter getting four clean drives and Ritchie the other two. Wagner scored three of the four runs credited to Pittsburg, beside bringing in tne fourth with a slashing double. The field was muddy and wet, the outfielders frequently wallowing puddles up to their ankles.

The Brooklyns made poor mudlarks. Captain Kelley, in particular, doing poor work at first. The fielding of Dahlen, Daly and Hughes, however, was good. Clark did splendid work for Pittsburg. The Pittsburgs led by 3 to 1 up to the fifth, when Brooklyn rallied and tied the score.

Blanks were drawn up to the ninth, when, with Wagner on second and two out, Ritchie hit to Kelley. There was ample time to dispose of the runner, but Kelley threw high to Hughes and Wagner came in with what proved to be the winning run. Hughes was wild at the start and Beaumont received free transportation through mud and sawdust to first. Clark sacrificed him to second and he scored on Wagner's double to right. Bransfield was easily struck out, but Ritchie punched out a single to right that brought Wagner home.

Leach hit to Dahlen, forcing Ritchie at second. For Brooklyn, Sheckard struck cut and Keeler died to Clark. Kelley got a free pass only to be left, as Daly was fielded out by Ritchie.

Keeler scampered home on the hit and Daly took second. Dahlen was fielded out by Tannehill and Beaumont were quickly retired on easy flies In the fourth. Then Clark walked, stole second and look third on Mc Gulre's wild throw. Wagner also received a free pass, but on an attempted double steal, Clark was nailed at the plate, Daly's throw being accurate. Brooklyn's half was uneventful.

McCreery struck out and Gatins and were fielded out Leaeh. Pittsburg drew a blank in the fifth. Brans field was first up and flied to Sheckard. Ritchie walked and took second on a wild pitch. He languished, as Leach filed to Daly and Zimmer was fielded out by Dahlen.

It was different with the home team. Hughes was safe on Tannehill's wild throw, Sheckard singled and Keeler bunted, filling the bases. Leach fumbled Kelley's grounder and Hughes scored. Dahlon's fly to Clark brought Sheckard home. McCreery struck out.

With the score tied, both pitchers put on more steam and the sixth was short. For Pittsburg. Zimmer filed to McCreery. Tannehill was out on a neat play from Kelley to Hughes and Daly took care of Beaumont's grounder. The home team had no better luck with Tannehill.

Blue and White Freshmen Defeat Nonpareil and Dauntless in Junior Eight Oared Event. (Special to the Eagle.) High Bridge, Speedway Course, N. May 38 The thirty fifth annual regatta tea Harlem Regatta Association took place today on the Speedway course on the Harlem River.

The weather was not exactly suited to fast rowing, but the water was smooth, and, considering the dampness, some very creditable times were accomplished. The programme was divided into two halves. In the morning the races were rowed upstream, starting from Washington Bridge and finishing opposite Morris Heights. In the afternoon all races were rowed in the opposite direction. James Bond of the Bachelors' Barge Club of Philadelphia was The starter was James Pilkington, president of the Harlem Regatta Association, and the judges at the finish were H.

W. Walters. Dauntless Rowing Club, and James Twig, Union Boat Club. The amateur standing of L. Tatum of the Vesper Boat Club of Philadelphia and J.

B. AtKin of the West. Philadelphia Boat Club was questioned and a protest was filed with the referee. The gloomy skies of the early morning dissipated the scullers' hopes of bright weather for the great regatta. All energies were centered in the prayer that if the sun refused to ehine, the other elements might at least remain neutral.

The oarsmen greeted juDiianuy. as a prophet, worthy of honor, whomever had the temerity to predict fair weather. Promptly at 9 o'clock this morning the official boat of the Harlem Regatta Association, the tug Van Cctt. left the Lone Star Boat Club house, One Hundred and Fifty third street and Harlem River, laden with guests and the officials of the day. In paet seasons this regatla has been noted for the promptness with which it was run off.

No tedious wails or delays have been allowed to mar the pleasure of the dav from the spectators' standpoint. The officials of this thirty fifth annual regatta of the association were determined that this year's events should prove no exception to the above rule. Therefore all the contestants were quartered along the course during the day and the rule made and strictly enforced that all competitors who were not at the starting line at the hour named would be disqualified. This peremptory rule was necessitated by the large entry list, which prolonged the programme by making trial heats necessary in several events. When the Van Cntt drew up at her station on the Speedway course, above Washington Bridge, the shore along the course was lined with spectators, undismayed by the threatening skies, while the river was alive with pleasure boats, filled with those who had come to enjoy the displays of watermanship or to cheer some favorite crew.

A large part of the interest seemed to center in the junior eight oared shell event, in which eight crews were entered. Tips were in circulation on almost every crew in this race. But the field appeared to be so evenly matched that very few cared to support their opinions with coin. Xext. to this city.

Philadelphia was the best represented in the entry list. The West Philadelphia Boat Club, the Bachelors Barge Club and the Central High School of Philadelphia had numerous entries. All the contestants from the City of Brotherly Love seemed to be in good form and had to be reckoned with in almost every event. The first heat of the junior four oared gig event started about The crew of the Nonpareil Rowing Club was withdrawn at the last moment, leaving the Vespers, the Friendship and the Palisades of Troy to fight It out. It wai a very pretty contest.

At the half, mile, which was rowed in 2:35, the gigs were on even terms. At this point Trojar, the coxswain of the Friendship Boat Club gig, began a series of erratic maneuvers, which ultimately put his crew out of the running. The Palisades and Vespers hid a neck and neck struggle to the line, the latter crew winning bv a half length In JUNIOR FOUR OARED GIG. First heat Distance one Won bv Vesper Boat Club. H.

The contestants were the Harlem Rowing Club, the Nassau Boat Club and the Central High School of Philadelphia There was a slight delay at the start, caused by a difficulty in getting the crews off on even terms. The Philadelphia school bovs were very light, but looked in the pink "of condition. At the start they hit up a vicious stroke and took a long lead at once.

They slowed up soon, and the Nassau crew ranged alongside. The Harlem crew was beaten nt the half. From this on the Nassaus had the race well in hand. Stephens steering them a beautiful race. They won easily in 5 minutes 21 seconds.

Francis, who rowed under the colors of the Laureates of Troy, was awaited expectantly. The young man Is the son of Minister Francis and has had the benefit of the personal training of James Ten Eyck, father of the famous champion. Hlavac's slowness in getting into position delayed the start. Francis jumped away in pretty style nt the pistol shot and. rowing easily, his only competitor at the half was HIavac.

the other two being hopelessly In the ruck. From this point Francis never lost the lead and finished an easy winner two lengths ahead of the Friendship sculler. Teves beat out Meyer for third place by a narrow margin. JUNIOR SINGLE SCULLS. One mile Won bv J.

At this point the Lone Star Boat Club protested three men in the Columbia junior eight on the ground that they had rowed on the 'varsity crew.

Farren of the Vesper3 and Atkin of the West Philadelphia, strokes of their respective fours, were also protested. The shells leaped from the line at a lively pace at 11:40. Dauntless and Nonpareil got slightly the advantage of the start, but Columbia soon ousted the former crew from second place. At the half the contest was still being waged between these crews. Every challenge from the college boys was met by Weed, the Nonpareil stroke.

There will be an effort to dispose of postponed games to morrow, which is an open date, Brooklyn playing Pittsburg and New York entertaining Cincinnati. The reinstatement of Umpire Billy Nash promises to cause trouble in the league. President Freedman has issued a statement to the effect that Xash will not be permitted to officiate at the Polo Grounds nor will the New York club play in any city where Nash is slated to umpire.

The New Yorks and Nash are scheduled to appear in Chicago on June 13, 14, 15 and 16, and President Hart announces that if the New Yorks refuse to play, should Nash be assigned to the series, he will claim forfeits in each case. Hart says he desires in no way to antagonize Freedman, but wishes to uphold the national game. It is not likely that there will be any scrap, as President Young will doubtless send Nash to some other city during the New York series in Chicago. CHESS TEAM MATCH ON IN PHILADELPHIA. Annual Contest Between Franklin and Manhattan Chess Club Promises to Be Hard Fought.

(Special to the Eagle.) Philadelphia, May 30 The annual team match between the Manhattan Chess Club of New York and the Franklin Chess Club of this city was begun at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the rooms of the latter organization in the Betz Building, each side presenting a representative team of sixteen players. This Is the first of a series of contests to bo held for the possession of a challenge trophy, to win which either club must score three straight victories or five non consecu tively. A number of similar matches have been played in recent years, with varying success, the honors in total results being about even. A special car brought the Manhattan players and substitutes over before noon and immediately after their arrival the visitors were entertained at dinner by a committee of the Franklin Chess Club. The match Is expected to be a very close one, as the teams are finely matched.

The local team is unfortunately without the assistance of the American champion, Plllsbury, who Is an active member of the club and eligible to play, but, not having returned from the West, where he is touring, cannot participate. Other leading players who could not be on hand for the occasion are J. Edward Addicks, C. Barclay, O. C.

'Cap" Guernsey, Third Baseman. IfflETOMILLfi OF LITTLE INTEREST. Thirteenth Annual Road Race Being Run Under Most Unfavorable Conditions. VANDERSTINE IN THE LEAD. Newark Wheelman First of the Ninety five Riders to Pass the Ten Mile Mark.

(Special to the Eagle.) Hilton, Is. May 30 The fifteenth annual Irvlngton Millburn road race, known as the cycling derby of America, was run to day on a road muddy and treacherous. The event is, both from the standpoint of competitors and spectators, only a shred of lis former self, and, adding the delay of more than two hours in starting, the whole affair has dwindled to an event of hardly more than local interest. The usual distressing mismanagement of the trolley lines was more evident than usual. Spectators in past years will find this hard to credit, but it is a fact.

It took the New York and Brooklyn visitors, who came by way of Newark, an hour or more to reach Irvingto by trolley and then they had a walk of three miles over a muddy road to reach the starting and finishing point. At this place a crowd of a few hundred waited around a half completed grand stand and admired the antics of the mounted police. A rural Jersey "copper" on foot is an object not to be soon forgotten, but put him on horseback and he will linger in the memory of the urbanite a joy forever. Along the road the crowds were hardly a handful compared with the great throngs of former years. They were, for the greater part, residents of the immediate vicinity and many of them lingered a while and faded away to livelier haunts.

No postponement was announced and even Jersey patience has its limit. The weather, too, was threatening and tjius. when the race, which was scheduled to start at 10:30 o'clock, began at 12:45, the onlooking crowd was the smallest In the history of the contest. The entered competitors numbered only ninety five in all and among those were to be found only two names that are prominently identified with the past history of the contest. These are Edgar Van Velsor of Oyster Bay, who won last year's contest, and Charles Schloe of Newark.

Both are scratch men. Gus Egloff of New York was placed at scratch at his own request. The handicap limit is seven minutes. The starters were finally posted off from their marks, with the mud tire deep and the skies threatening every moment to open and add to the other discomforts of those who were trying to bold up the remnants of a once really great fixture of the athletic year. Ten thousand people were along the course.

The start was made at 12:44. Seventy nine starters, including five scratch men, participated. Frank Swartz of Newark, S1, minutes' handicap, led at the five miles. Harry P. eJwell of New York, 6 minutes, was second, and Walter H.

Cuttle, Rah way, 6 minutes, third. William K. Vanderstlne, Newark. minutes, led, at 10 miles; Cuttle, second; Jewell, third. MORNING BASE BALL GAMES.

To day, however, great crowds took advantage of the excellent weather conditions and the boxes were filled while there was scarcely elbow room about the tan bark ring.

BUSY DAY FOR GOLFERS. Base Ball, Lacrosse and a Band Concert Add to the Pleasure of the Day. The first clear day in nearly three weeks greeted the members of the Crescent Athletic Club and their friends this morning, and when they arrived at the country house and grounds at the foot of Eighty sixth street, Bay Ridge, they found the place in excellent condition for the formal opening of the season. As early as 8 o'clock thry began to arrive and by noon the house, ball field and golf links were fairly alive with people, nil bent on making the most, of the first bright day which the weather man has sren fit to bless the locality with since moving day. Bright colored gowns were everywhere to be seen, giving the beautiful summer home of the club quite a gala day appearand.

It was to the gclf links, however, that the early ones hied themselvis and a swarm of caddies were on hand to erect, them. One of the largest fields over seen at the Crescent Athletic Club were early on the links, the magnet being the hole medal play'contest for a cup presented by V. G. McConvil for the best card. For this there were 58 entries.

At 12 o'clock nineteen cards had been returned for the first half and only two for the complete double round. The, two early cards were F. N. Double day and W. R.

Thompson, who are credited with loS and IC5. respectively, the former having a fair chance for one of the twelve prizes offered. For the single round the best card was turned in by T. Hovenden, who, with a handicap of 10, netted 71 on the eighteen holes. R.

M. Goddard and M. II. Goodwin were tied for second place, each with 72. F.

"Terrible Terry" Makes Short Work of Another Aspiring Champion. San Francisco, May 30 Terry McGov ern had an easy victory over Aurelia Iler rera last night at Pavilion. There was never a time at any stage of the game when McGovern did not have the ambitious aspirant for championship honors at his mercy, and from a disinterested standpoint it looked very much as If he allowed Herrera to stay four rounds and then put him out early in he fifth. While McGovern rained blows on his man at all times, it was not until the beginning of the firth that he put his strength and weight behind him. The end came quickly after that, as, at the first lead of the right and left on the J.nv.

Herrera went down for the count. lie came up gamely only to go down again. The last time he was unable to get on his feet at the end of the count and was declared out. The prr liniin.iry battle, between Danny Dougherty and Kid Mel'adden. was a rattling contest.

The men were at it from the start to the finish and the decision went to Dougherty on his cleverness. McKadden did most of the loading, hut. was met at every step with stiff left jabs on the face and hard rif.t on the body. Mcl'adden fought fiercely in the last round and sent. Dougherty to his knees with a right as the gong ended the light.

The crowd was of the largest, that evei assembled in the pavilion and was cstiinat' at. between 7.000 and Referee Wand gave satisfaction. mm HARD HIT ST fflESE! TRUCK. Five Winning Favorites and One Second Choice Play Havoc With the Books. MERIDIAN A LIKELY COLT.

Odom Rides a Clever Race on the Son of Sir Dixon Shnw Up on Three Winners. It will be a long time before the layers forgot the trouncing they received yesterday. Five favorites in succession swept past the finish wire in front at Gravesend, and, in the last race, when the outsider. Dactyl, won. and the layers were congratulating themselves that, they hail finally had a break, the winner was disqualified and the strongly played second choice.

All Saints, placed first. So there were many sad faces among the members of the stool fraternity when Dactyl's number came down and All Saints' replaced it. Even the small fry bookies lost heavily and there will very likely be not a few faces missing from the ranks ivhen the next drawing takes place. It is a question in the minds of many close observers whether the stewards wore entirely correct in deciding to disqualify Dactyl, and not All Saints also, for, while there is no question about tile swerving of the former, the latter horse also was guilty of interference and he should have met the same fa to. It is seldom that maiden races of this description are good betting races, for the average speculator is.

as a rule, very chary about investing much money on horses that have made many futile trys to graduate from the maiden class. Yesterday, however, it seemed that at least four trainers made an attempt to score a killing, and, as a consequence. All Saints, Roxane. Zeus, Twain and Dactyl were all backed with confidence and the ring handled large stuns. Dactyl is a oast, off from the stable of William C.

Whitney. He ran a race that Indicates that he will not be long in securing brackets. From 4 to 1 Zeus was backed down to to and almost every trainer who had seen him work had a bet on the big gaited son of St. Saviour. McCue, who rode Zeus, must have had orders to make every post a winning one, and the same orders must have been given to flutter, who was up on Roxane, for these two riders rushed their mounts to the front in the first quarter of a mile and for a time they raced heads apart far in advance of the field.

Zeus, however, gave tip the struggle before the stretch was reached, and Dactyl, having moved up on the far turn, joined Roxane. In the last furlong Ail Saints made his bid and there was a lot of jostling between the The first time that. Captain Sam Brown Sir Dixon colt Meridian starts on a track that Is anv way near fast, look out for him. Although his sire. Sir Dixon, was a great, horse in the mud, Meridian does not fancy it any too well.

Yesterday, after gettiag off all tangled up, he dropped out of the race for the first, three furlongs, losing ground with every stride. At one time he was fully ten lengths back of his nearest attendant, and his backer gave up all hopes of cashing. When on the turn, however. Meridian began to close on the leaders in resolute fashion It was seen that he was going to be a contender and his backers began to root in vigorous fashion. Red Damsel and Smart Set.

the leaders, who had meed like a team for the first half mile began to lire when they struck the stretch and Red Damsel, who was giving twelve pounds to each of the other starters, was the first to hang out distress signals. Smart Set, however, hung on gamely and Odom had to ride Meridian hard in order to "ct home first, by a neek. Little reninsula, who was also outrun at the start, also came strong at the finish and he was only a head in the re3r of Smart Set. Odom deserves a lot. of credit, for persevering with Meridian, when, to all intents, the colt was out of the contest.

Those who played his mount drew a long sigh of relief when Meridian crossed the line. John Mc''afferty tried to make a double killing with Andronious and Dr. Riddle. The former horse came home alone, hut. Dr.

Riddle was beaten a head for third money. Mar graviatc. the winner of the race in which Dr. Riddle was a starter, has developed Into a very usrful horse and in the mud he Is all but Invincible when opposed to such as were lined up against him yesterday. When a 2 year old, was owned by the Flelsehmanns, but hr had a bad knw and was sold to his present owner for $700.

He has gotten over Vila bad knee, and although he was entered to be sold for $2,200. twice that sum is nearer his true value. Those who follow Shaw enjoyed a profitable afternoon. He rode in four races, winning with Five Nations, Margraviate and All Saints, and wa.1; second, beaten a neck, on Smart Set. NORMAN IN COMMISSION.
