Savors of an amateur game hung over the base ball grounds yesterday after- Boon, although the regulars and a Picked nine of Manager Schmelz’s pro- fessionals battled for supremacy. Nine full innings were played, resulting in a victory, 17 to 6 for the regulars. Egan by his work in the box for the winners greatly pleased his admirers, while Stocksdale did very well until the sixth inning, when his delivery was knocked all over the field, ten runs being made, all of them unearned, however. The batting was heavy. MeGuire knocking out a home run, a triple, a double and a single, and Tebeau doing almost as well, with Sullivan, Stocksdale, Abbey, Hasa- maear and McMahon joining in the proces- sion. Davis, a young collegian, was given @ trial on the picked nine during the latter tion of the game. His pitching was lectdedly peculiar, and caused considerable laughter on the bleachers. He was not hit at all hard at the start, but just before the game ended the professionals gauge his delivery in great young man, however, says that he has Not pitched a game since last fall, when he held the Bostons down to seven hits. Washington will line up against town College this afternoon. ‘While sliding to first base during the fourth inning of yesterday's game, Petty received a severe spike wound on the right hand from Cartwright’s shoe. The injured member was bandaged with a handkerchief, and the ex-New Yorker continued to play first base for the picked nine during the remainder of the game. A letter from Secretary Stackhouse of the New Yorks has been received by Presi- dent Young, authorizing the latter to turn over the famous $7,500 Meekin-Farrell check to the Washington club. The check is made out for the amount named, all Tumors to the contrary notwithstanding, and was mailed to George E. Wagner, Philadelphia, this morning. ALLENTOWN’S BALL TEAM. King Kelly’s Club Will Play the Phillies on April 30. Michael J. Kelly arrived at Allentown, Pa., Sunday night, and will henceforth de- vote all his time and energy to his base ball interests. He was accompanied by Sam Wise, the late second baseman of the Washington club, and Charles Hudson, Kelly’s theatrical manager. The “King” was seen by a reporter, to whom he made known whatever plans he has arranged. Kelly says he has not signed the entire team yet, but expects to do so this week. Milligan, the catcher of the 1892 Wash- ington team, has been signed, and he and Kelly will play the “rip-saw’ game in the catcher’s box and on first base. Sam Wise has not been signed, but it is pretty well settled that he will cover the second bag of the home team. Cub Stricker of the Wash- ington team of last year, is expected, and will probably fill the position of short stop. Geo se Wood, the hard-hitting field- er, formeriy with the Phillies, has fixed his signature to an Allentown contract, and will be on hand in a few days. Kilroy of last year's Providence Eastern League team and Jack Coleman of last year’s York team have been signed to do the pitching. Kelly has his eye on Tommy Esterbrook and Joe Mulvey. He says that with the opening of the National League season this week a hundred good players will be turned loose, and if he does not get some of the best of them it will be no fault of his. Kelly says that the season will open on the 27th with the Bostons. The next day the Binghamtons will be at Allentown, and on April 30 the Phillies will play there. Manager Kelly also states that he ha: arranged with the Philadelphia club to play on every open date during the entire season. A CATCHER’S LEG BROKEN. The Springfield Ciub Will Pay Him His Salary.

Signature of “Johann Hoff on the neck label of None other is “as good.” MISNEK & MENDELSON CO., Agents, 152 and 154 Franklin st., New Yort and Springfields of the Eastern League, Catcher Daniel Burke of the latter team met with an accident which will end his playing for this season, at least. It was in the first inning, Tom Burns of Brooklyn be- ing on third base and Treadway at the bat. The latter hit to Stecham, who threw the ball home to Catcher Burke. It was a wild throw, and, as Burke stepped to the third base side of the plate to catch the ball, Burns ran into him with fearful force. Burke uttered a yell which struck terror to the hearts of the spectators and fell to the ground. The players picked him up and car- ried him into the dressing room, where a doctor attended him. It was found that his leg was broken at the ankle, and that the in| bone protruded through the flesh. An am- bulance took the unfortunate player to St. Mary’s Hospital. Manager Burns of the Springfield says that Burke's family will not suffer through this misfortune. It was Burke's first game with the Springfield team, and he was con- sidered the best catcher on the nine. His home is at Whitman, Kan., where he has a wife and three children. Salaries in the Eastern League do not begin until May 1, but Manager Burns said that Burke's salary would begin yesterday, and be paid through the season. Yesterday’s Base Ball Game.

Harry Staley accepted terms with the Boston club yesterday, and will join the team at once. Billy Merritt has agreed to sign with Boston today on the same salary he received last season, with a provision that he gets a raise next season. The Bos- ton club will dock Merritt two weeks’ salary for not reporting on time, April 1. Manhat- Dispute Over Ball Players’ Salaries, The Indianapolis club may be compelled to disband. An issue has been raised as to salaries. Owing to a misunderstanding, the players were signed for six months, con- trary to the provisions of the league, which permits but a five-months’ contract. Presi- dent Ban Johnson of the league will not Permit the Indianapolis management to ray the April salaries, and the men object. The contracts have been returned to the man- agement and by it to the players. A fine of $1,000 can be assessed against the man- agement if it violates the constitution, and this it does not care to pay. It is hoped to patch up the affair and continue the club, though the situation is not promising. Frstern League Contracts. P. T.

As is usual on such occasions, jealousy was apparent among the participants in the emancipation parade yesterday, and Chief Marshal Asbury Jones experienced considerable difficulty in keeping his forces in iine. Finally, however, the line of march was successfully traversed, as stated in The Star, and the City Hall was reached. There, near the statue of Lincoln, the invited guests were seated In carriages, and the program of exercises was conducted as printed yesterday. Unusual attention and Charles Taylor of Kansas, re- cently nominated to be recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. After dwell-| ing at some length on what freedom hes! done for the negro race, the violent opposi- | tion to its progress, the failure of the/ country to treat the colored people, not-| withstanding their bravery in the war,| with the same consideration with which foreigners had been treated, the advantage the negro has taken of his opportunities, and the belief that his people had passed through the most trying time of their exist- ence, and that better things are in store for them, Mr. Taylor concluded as follows: The Colored Man and the Newspapers. “The negro must imitate the virtues of the white man, to the exclusion of his vices. Copy all of the good, eschew all of the bad. The negro should keep in mind the golden rule. He should never do unto any one what he would not have some one do unto him. Elements are at work in our favor. It is impossible to unite the white man against us. The daily papers all over this land are telling of our proud achieve- ments. In this city, the Post and The Star A RUMOR DENIED. Dr. MeGiynn Not to Be Transferred te the Minnesota Diocese. Mer. Satolli has emphatically denied that Dr. Edward McGlynn is to be transferred to the Minnesota diocese, or that the change has ever been even contemplated. Arch- bishop Ireland, who has been in the city for several days, has called on Mer. Satolli, His visit has given credence to a report that he had been holding an important con- ference with the ablegate. Mgr. Satolli said last night that the story was without fact have been a power for good in our behslf.! and that no conference had been held. This can be said of all the great papers of the country. They are giving us reasonable support in our efforts to prove ourselves good American citizens. It is fortunate for us that we have such Christian-hearted men in charge of our metropolitan papers. That we appreciate the work of these papers in our behalf is manifested by the large circulation these have in our homes, especially The Star. If we can get the great papers of the United States to fight for stricter immigration laws we will be satisfied. Each immigrant coming here should be required to pay a tax of $100, he should be able to at least read and write his own language, he should hold a cer- tificate showing good character, signed by our consul in the country from which he comes. Added to this, he should not be allowed the ballot here until he had met all the requirements demanded of our citizens who should go from here to his country. If this law is passed and enforced, we need nothing further. We will prove our ability to survive, we will show to the world that we are part of those who constitute the ‘fittest,’ and that the end has all sunshine and no shadow. “This dey should never be forgotten. It Should be always remembered. Those among us who would laugh at you for observing it are foolish. The ‘passover’ is Still kept. The ‘last supper’ will never fade away. The Declaration of Independence is reverted to every year. Why should we forget the birth of a race? There may be debate about the best way to observe the day, but, in my judgment, it would be criminal to give no sign on each recurring anniversary of what great things in our behalf God has wrought. We owe it to ourselves to push the scoffers aside and continue to show to those who prayed for this day that we cannot forget it in thirty- two years, nor in thirty-two million years.” Mr. Donglass Was Brief. Frederick Douglass was next called upon to address the assemblage, but he stated that the time belonged to the future re- corder of deeds. All Mr. Douglass would say was that he heartily indorsed Mr. Taylor for the office named, and if a fight was made in the Senate over the confirma- tion the sole reason for such action would be because the appointee is a colored man. The official celebration of the thirty-first anniversary of th abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia then reached an end. —_-_—-_— D'Oro Leads Clearwater. ‘The score last night in the opening game of the second continuous pool match be- tween Clearwater and D'Oro at Cleveland was: D'Oro, 208; Clearwater, 160. — eee A new organization, to be known as the “Officers Fund Association,” has been form- ed at Harvard by the faculty and other of- ficers of the university.
