The members of the commission and Managtr Griffith are satisfied with a tentative date for the amateur evei.t which hae been slated for July 9, but th teams and their managers are yet toe heard from. Managr Griffith Is reported as being tentative date for the amateur event, on July 9 and members of the commission will do all they can to help out the idea.

The fact that there were two postponements which necessitated taking days off from work with a loss of pay Is going to mitigate against the chances of bringing all the amateurs out again. It Is more than probable, according to many of the amateurs, that the parade will be held and that many of those who were slated to take in the affair will turn out. Many feel that they cannot afford to lose time from their wruk. Tho whole trovble lies In the fast that the membera of the commission were unable to notify all of the teams when the parade was called off last Sunday baseball Is being tried In the Independence League today. This is the second time this season that regularly scheduled games have ben started, the Northern Association being first on the ground last montn.

At the Union League Park the Maryland Mot-ers and the Poslofflce team will be seen In a double header. Klmir Smith's record In pitching a no-hit uttnic against the War team in the Departmental League, yesterday if worthy of comment. Smith marred Ills work somewhat by giving passes, seven men getting down to firsts base on his generosity. Two inns were scored on errors, and Smith failed to got a shutout. The Apaches arn the G.

East Washington S. S. League. It would seem that Ninth was able to conic up from behind and win quite any time, for tho First Presbyterian team got a four-run lead, which it held for flvo Innings yesttrday. Ninth came back and scored enough to win, by a 7-to 5 score, the last part of tho name, Ninth has the knack of following up opponents' errors with solid drives which put the scores across the plate.

Brewer made two hits for his team yesterday which aided materially in the run getting. Northern Association. The ability of the Regents team to outslug the Andrews aggregation won a slow and tiresome game yesterday, the former winning by 12 to 9. Andrews looked like a winner In the second In nlng, scoring six runs. Sllverberg, Shipley, Rtdeout, and FergUBon were the chief batting artists of the afternoon, and made possible a Regents win.

Shipley and Rideout got triples in their attempts. Marquette League. St. Stephens won out over Trinity yesterday by a 10 to 4 score, the winners getting ahead in the fifth and sixth innings. Trinity was unable to hit Pettlt, who allowed but four scattered hits.

Hitters on the St. Stephen's team had a good day with thirteen safeties. Wade being the only player who failed to register. Cryer's work was the best of the afternoon, the left fielder getting a triple, double, and two stolen bases. Departmental League.

Elmer Smith's pitching won a game for the G. P. O. team over the War aggregation In yesterday's contests, the pitcher getting credit for a no-hlt contest. Lucas and Smith with two hits apiece led all the batters.

The pitcher's safeties were a single and a double, as were those made by Lucas. Smith fanned ten batters, but gave seven bases on balls. Sunday School League. Sherwood and Anacostla were unable to come to a definite conclusion of yesterday's game, which was called on account of darkness at the end of the eighth Inning with the -core at 5 all. Dore, pitching for Sherwood, gets the big honors as he fanned fourteen batters.

Both pitchers did well In the matter of allowing hits, although several safeties went for txtra bases. How Last Years Nationals Compare With This Years Team 101S Player. G.

Amelia Jenks, 104, Bell Horse and Rube Marquard Wins Eighteenth Straight Rube Marquard, the sensational southpaw of the New York Giants, by winning yesterday from tl.e Boston Braves, 8 to 6, landed his eighteenth successive victory, equalling- the record of Charlie Radbourne In 1884 and Mickey Welch In 1885 in number of straight wins. However, "Old Hobs" Radbouri'O made his In consecutive days, something never to be equalled. In 1890 Al Luby, of Chicago, won twenty straight games and Marquard Is out to better that mark.

Though defeated, the Braves made more rur.s than any other team has made off Marquard this season. The big southpaw tired under the blazing sun and his opponents scored throe runs In the last two innings. He allowed eleven hits, but the Giants clouted "Buster" Brown and the result was never In doubt. DR.

to aa By "SENATOR." Have the Nationals Improved this year over that devoted band of crip-plea toted around the land by Jeeros Robert McAleer? Are the Climbers faster on their feet than the veterans of 1911? Do the records prove it? Are the Climbers, even with their marvelous winning streak, better hitters than the 1911 athletes representing the Capital? This time last year tho Nationals stood seventh In the league and had given up all hope of ever getting any higher. The team lacked spirit, was discouraged in the face of the enemy. Players with reputations in the past were not living up those reputations. They had won twenty-four games, but forty-four had been dropped. They were In a rut, and knew It.

Now Are Fourth. Now the Climbers repose beautifully In fourth place. Indeed, until the last few days they were In second place, with a chance of reaching the top of the ladder. Their clashes with tbe Mackmen have somewhat stirred them from their lofty rating, but most of the fans feel sure that they will be at least as high as third again. Whereas the 1911 team never was considered a contender even for the leading position In the second division, this year's outfit Is believed to have a chance to land the banner.

It is almost certain to finish among the first four, thereby establishing a record for a Washington ball club. One record has already been made by the Climbers, a mark to stand for many a day. Wlyn they made their glorious ramble' through the West this Bpring, they set a record to be aimed at by the best teams in the land for many seasons. They cleaned up every game they played In the West and came home with sixteen straight victories to their credit, a marvelous thing, too, when it is noted that the team is composed largely of lads without major league experience. But it requires careful comparison to decide Just why the Climbers are better than the Nationals of a year gone by.

Looking at the figures denotes their comparative strength and weakness. The accompanying averages are up to June 25 for last year's team and June 26 for the Climbers. Make More Runs. The Climbers make more runs on their hits than did tho 1911 team. Where the McAleer troupe blngled 699 times and scored 261 runs, the Climbers have scored 2S5 runs on 498 hits.

This year's team, with a hundred fewer hits, has scored 24 more runs, indicating greater run-getting ability. Last year's team, with Its many lame and Halting veterans of many a battle, stole 79 bases. This year's outfit has Pitchers' Work. 1012. Pitcher.

With so many slow runners, the Nationals of 1911 were ever there with the sacrifice hit and made 62 in their efforts to push the runners around. The Climbers, though apparently not a sacrificing club, have made 62 of these blows so far this year. The teams are equal only in the number of hitters with at least .300 for their hitting mark, each team having three among the select. Man for Man. Man for man the Cllmbera look better than the team of lost eeason.

Gandll Is hitting for .339 against Schaefcrs 321 last year. Milan Is tapldly climbing atd should soon boost his mark above last year's .313. He tnrted poorly this season. Jack Lclivelt was a harder hitter than Is Huward Shanks, as the figures show, and vet Lellvelt's greater hitting ability was nullified by his rlowness of foot. With fifty -three hits to his credjt.

he scored but twenty-two nms, while Shanks has scoied sixteen runs on twent -eight blngle. Milan has improved gree.tlv in his base stealing figures. This time last cur he had annexed but fifteen bases This year he has stolen ihlrty-flve sacks, and leads the league. He is receiving better protection in his attempts this year and this iti a great factor. Foster Is Better.

Foster Is better than Elberfeld or Conroy. He has made moro hltb and has scored 'more runs than either of them, and almost as many as both of them. No man who has seen the three play would consider Foster weaker than Elberfeld or Conroy. Moelfer, while hitting about as hard as Poe Geisler, Is a better run getter, almost twice as meny runs as the physician did last season. Ray Morgan is a distinct improvement over Itubber-shlrt" Bill Cunningham.

The Climbers should finish high this year. They seem certain to land In the first division, a great achievement for Clark Griffith In a single season. He has taken a team of whlcn he knew little or nothing and has made It a contender for high honors, in another year or so he should reach even geratcr heights. Today the Climbers fully SO per cent stronger than the Nationals of 1911. The writer traveled with the McAleer troupe last aeas.m, and truthfully say that there Is no comparison between the attitudes of the two teams, rather Is there a contrast.

Youth makes for confidence, and the Climbers are youngsters. They haven't been the "houn dawg" of the American League for years and always expecting defeat. Thev should recover from their present slump, and, with "Dare-devil" Dan Moeller and Ray Morgan back In the battle line, should win enough games this season to land them in third or fourth place at the end of the campaign. Anything higher would be a miracle. Papke Is Winner.

PARIS. June 30. Billy Papke, the Illinois fighter, last night won an easy victorv from tho Frenchman, Marcel Moreau. In the fifteenth round of the contest, which was scheduled to be for the middleweight championship 4t the world, Papke twice floored Moreau with left and right hooks. The call of time saved the Frenchman, but when the gong sounded for the sixteenth Moreau quit, admitting that he was beaten.

FLYNN IS THROUGH PREPARATORY WORK FOR BIG BATTLE Confident He Will Be World's Champion Thursday Night. EAST LAS VEGAS. N. June 30. Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, did his last boxing yesterday for his heavyweight championship battle with Jack Johnson Thursday afternoon.

The fireman went twelve hard rounds and finished as fresh as a daisy. As he tossed the big training bout mitts aside, he said: "I have had all the boxing I need for that big fellow. He always could out-box me, but boxing alone will not win this I shall devote the rest of my time to limbering up exercise and building up for the clash with the nego. I can say that with my boxing preparation finished I never felt more confident in my life. I wdll be champion of the world Fourth of July night," Two thousand Las Vegas fans who long to see the white race redeemed pugillstlcally watched the lireman go through his work.

Jim looked burly and mighty wicked. Johnson did his usual eight miles on the road this morning and boxed ten rounds with his sparring paitners In the afternoon. His helpers give him little benefit In the boxing line and It Is known Johnson regrets that he did not (secure better men. Jack announced that he would box again tomorrow and Tuesday. He weighed 213 pounds when he finished.

VARSITY FOUR-OARED RACE. Cornell, Columbia, Syracuse, Pennsylvania. FRESHMEX EIGHT-OARED RACE. Cornell, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Columbia. POUGHKEEPSIE, June oarsmen are today receiving the congratulations of their admirers for having made a complete sweep of the annual Intercollegiate regatta yesterday.

The members of the crews are expected to leave today for their vacations, the long six months period of training being over with yesterday's races. In the freshman elght-oared race, that for the varsity fours, and the classic elght-oared shell races Cornell's crews swept across the line a winner. In the first race Columbia looked to have the jump on the crews at the start, but the Red and White four crept up and finished with a steady plugging stroke. The pace told on Columbia, who dropped back to second. Penn took fourth Wisconsin was the chief contender In tho short race for the freshmen.

The Western oarsmen pushed Courtney's youngsters to a fine finish, Cornfcll winning by a scant length. In the banner event of the afternoon all of the crews got away to a good start. At the mile Cornell had gained a third of a length on Columbia, which was second. Stanford dropped behind at the Btart. Cornell drew ahead at the middle distance, and Wisconsin spurted up to Columbia.

By the time the bridge was reached Cornell had put open water between It and Columbia. Cornell flashed across the Urns a good three lengths ahead, Wisconsin leading Columbia by a good margin- Penn was never a contender, and Stanford dropped back early In the race, i Virginia Club Praised For Defeating Blues RICHMOND.
