If this sort of ball playing keeps on much longer every one will have to get a new cardiac tus. For nine innings yesterday it was nip and tack between the “Spiders” and the fly—or rather the Senators. ‘It was a very pretty song the spider sang, but the fly, in defiance of tradition, refused to enter his parlor and be buncoed. In fact the fat, wily old Spiders were hand- | somely walloped, and if they go weaving any more webs around here they're likely to get caught in them themselves. Contrary to custom the visitors started off in | the lead and gained three runs before the home | team scored. ‘Then a pretty stern chase ensued. | Step by step the local colts overhauled the selling platers from the buckere state, and in the stretch drew away and won by a nose. The Clevelands secured one of their three runs by a triple, followed by a single. But the other two they had no business with. Both reached first on balls, were helped along by a sacrifice and scored by Ewing's single past Sullivan. The locals bunched two hits in the sixth, which, with a base on bails and Hov’'s long fi to center, gave them the only run they didn't getoucerrors. The others were made by the visitors’ fumbles and wild throws. Secor ‘WASHINGTON. ° 2 4 | a Earned rons— Wash celand, 1, First | base ot « Wi: fand. i.

He Beats the Bicycle Record There, but is Wart In a Fall, A. A. Zimmerman, the American champion bicyelist, was winner yesterday in a mile invi- tation scratch race at Dublin, participated in by bicyclists from various parts of Ireland. Zimmerman won easily by two machine lengths in 2 minutes 47 2-5 seconds, O'Neill of Dublin Was second and O'Callaghan of Cork was third. Later in the day there was a race for the twenty-five-mile championship. Of the twenty wheelmen who started three fell in the first lap. A. A. Zinimerman, the American champion, at an early stage of tho race came in violent col- lision with another contestant and was thrown with great violence against the rails which in- close the track. Three of his teeth were crushed out. and he was otherwise injured to such an extent that he was compelled to retire from the race. Kenna of Limerick won, mak- ing the distance in 1 hour 12 minutes '26 2-5 seconds. Camp of London was second. Zimmerman’s injaries, though necessarily painful, are not serious. During the day Zimmerman gave an ex! tion. He did a quarter ‘mile, with a flying start, in 30 4-5 seconds, thus beating the best Irish record by one second, GOOD ROWING IN TEXAS. Stansbury, the Australi Reaten by Gau- rand Peterson. The great international regatta at Austin, Texas, opened yosterday at 4:30 and there was a large attendance. ‘The principal event of the day was the trial het between professional oarsmen to decide who should participate in the great race tomorrow for the $1,500, $500 and $300 prizes. The course was in the finest condition possible, there not being a ruffle on the long smooth body of water. ‘The first heat, three miles with a turn, was y pated in by John Teemer, Edward Han- lan, George Hosmer, Ed. Rogers and George W. Lee, and resulted in Hauian, Teemer and Rogers going past the buoys first in the order named. ‘Time, 20.06. In the second heat the entries were J. G. Gaudaur, James Stansbury, Harry Peterson, James A. Ten Eyck and Alex. McLean. It resulted in Gaudaur, Peterson and Stansbury coming in leaders in the order named. Time, 19.39%¢. ‘The vix oarsmen will make up the entries for the grand purse tomorrow. The third race was a junior amateur single seull race, one and a haif miles with turn. ‘I entries were A. J. Harris, Oruila, Ont.; E. J. Baker, Galveston; E. Westhus, St, Louis, and John MeDorald, Austin. Baker, Harris’ and Westhus came past the buoys in the o1 named, Baker of Galveston winning the gold medal. Time, 11:57. ‘The day's races were closed with the pedestrian feat of Geo Lee in walking on the water. Today's races wiil consist of contests by boating crew: there being nine different heats particitpated in ¥ the Galveston Rowing Club, the Modoe Row- ing Club of St. Louis and the Western Rowing Clab and a quarter-mile professional dash for $100 free to all. In an interview Gaudaur said last night that he intended to brenk his werld’s record in tho great race tomorrow. He sayshe raced at Duiuth. Minn.. in July, 1890, making the time in 19:31, and that this ‘course is much finer than Duluth’s and he is in better conditior The regatta yesterday brought together the world’s greatest oarsmen. In its international the greatest aquatic test in the history of the world, and tho promises are good for fine racing for the four days it lasts. ‘The regatia is in the nature of a celebration in honor of the completion of the great dam across the Colorado river, which is a remarkable piece of solid masonry. Roberts W: to Play De Oro. Richard K. Fox of New York has received from London a cable memage stating that John Roberts, the English champion, would like to play Alfred De Oro of New York “any number of games of pyramid pool,” in New York city, some time between July and October, for £500 aside. Roberta asks that his ' expense to America be allowed and says that be will him and yelled, “Don’t do that again.” Umpire MeQuade gave the visitors generally | | the worst of 1t on close decisions, which is | | right.

A member of the Stock Comedy Company at the National Theate. told a very characteristic story of Mr. Booth as indicative of |his tender and helping nature. A young man had joined the company of Mr. Booth were known to the eminent tragedian. Ht was playing subordinate parts and the salary |that he received was only snficient to pay his necessary expenses. After a rather disastrous season—it was the winter of 1879— ‘the company disbanded. ‘The young aspirant for stage honors was in an uncom- fortable predicament as he was without funds and was too proud to fall beck on the aid of his parents, While he was ponderin, ‘over his position and wondering what on eartl he would 40, Mr. Booth passed by and recog- nising him, stopped. ‘Well, my young boy, what are vou going to do?” “I don’t know. was the rep! paid my board bill and only have a couple o dollars remaining.” “Come along with me.” said Mr. Booth. “I am going down the street and you can tell me all about it.” ey continued the walk and Mr. Booth asked his companion to step into « bank with him which was at hand. — Mr. ‘6 desk and bad a lett Mr. and patting him on the shoulder said: “Cheer up, my boy, better times are coming. and’ perhaps this will help you antil you find something to do. Don’t way unything to your parents about this.” When the money was examined it was found to contain #250. ‘This is only one of many similar cases in which Mr. Booth is known to have put his hand in his own pocket to aid a young member of his company who was in hard luck. ss ROBERT LINCOLN’S PERIL. Snatched by Mr. Booth From in Front of a Locomotive. Yesterday's York Evening Post pub- lished the following as having been related by Mr. Booth: “In the summer of 1877 Mr. Booth was stand- on arailrond platform waiting for a train, He noticed a gentleman standing near him, appar- ently with the tame object, and saw that he seemed engrossed in his own meditations, Presently the gentleman stepped from the platform to a track and began walking upon it, entirely oblivious of his surroundings, Just at this moment an engine which had been getting water from a tank near at hand began backing up the track. Mr. Booth, turning around, saw it only when it was within a few feet of his absent-minded companion, On the im- pulse of the moment, without attempting to rouse the man to a sense of his danger— there was not time for this—Mr. Booth stepped forward and, clutching him by the arm, lifted him almost’ bodily upon the plat- form. So nenr was the engine that it struck the man’s heels as they left the track. Tho rescued gentleman was so overcome when be realized his danger that he could only bow his thanks and give his hand to his preserver. It happened that Mr. Ford, in whose theater at Washington President Lincoln was assassinated by Mr. Booths brother, witnessed the scene de- xeribed above. Stepping forward, he said ex- citedly: ‘Mr. Booth, do you know who that man was? ‘No,’ was the reply. ‘It wan, said d, “Robert Lincoln, President Booth afterward suid that his gave him more satisfaction than could be represented in any other way. In relating this Mr. Booth mentioned the fact that the oniy vote which he ever cast was for Mr. Lincoln when he ran for President the second time.” Mr. Jobu 'f. Ford eays the above story is es- sentially correct, except that the occurrence was between March 1 and 3, 1876, and wax pub- shed about ten years ago. It happened at | Bowling Green, Ky., or ut a station between that place and fille, Teun, Mr. Ford had been traveling through the south with a com- ny, at the head of which was Mr. Booth, and | it was at the close of Mr. Booth's engagement. Mr. Booth separated from the others near the Mammoth Cave and Mr. Ford returned with the company to Baltimore, stopping on. the way at Cumberiand, where the Academy of Music opened, Mr, Frederick Warde playing the lead. ing roles. | ~ -see LOOKING FOK A vouDOO.

A Majority of the Next Congress Favors Such Action. ‘RESULT OF THE TELEGRAPHIC INTERVIEWS WITH. CONGRESSMEN ON THREE IMPORTANT SUB- JECTS—DIVIDED OPINIONS ON IXCOME TAX AND STATE BANK TAX—THE SHERMAN LAW DENOUNCED. The New York World has interviewed nearly all the members of Congress by telegraph on the following questions: 1. Do you, with present information, favor | the repeal of the Sherman silver law? 2. Do you favor an income tax? 3. Do you favor the repeal of the state bank tax? ‘The World in reporting their answers savs: “Many of tho answers deviate so far from the plain *yes’ or ‘no’ and involve so many qualifi- cations that no tabular statement would fairly represent the opinions they express. The im- portant facts shown are that, to the first ques- ion, ‘Do you, with your present information, or the repeal of the Snerman silver saw? There are eighty-six Representatives who say, practically, while only 18 say ‘no.’ OF | the rest many, who qualify their answer so strongiv that they cannot fairly be placed in the affirmative column, show plainly that their in- | clinations are in favor of a repeal. ‘The senti- | ment of the lower house on that question seems to be overwhelming. “The World had already polled the Senate on the silver bill and on March 6 last printed a | table showing that that bedy stood for repeal, | 89: against repeal, 28; non-committal, 16. It | will be noticed ‘that several who were nou- committal then are now in favor of repeal. There seems to be no doubt that nearly two- thirds of the Senate will vote that way. Th newer question of the income tax develops an [interesting situation. Many who speak freely asto the Sherman bill evade or ignore this question, but forty-five «ay squarely that they favor it and forty-two that they donot. South- ern and western Congreskmen ure the most numerous advocates of such a tax. “On the state bank tax question opinion is almost as onexided asin regard to the Sherman Dill. Many dodge it entirely, but sixty say positively that they are against repealing the tax, while only thirty favor the repeal.” — EDWIN BOOTH'’S WILL.
