Ward and Messrs. Amos Rusie, George S. Davis, Huyler Westervelt, Park A. Wilson, James Stafford, W. B. Ful- ler, Charles A. Farrell, Roger Connor, M. Tiernan, Lester S. German, Jouett Meakin, W. H. Clark, George Van Haltren, E. D. Burke, W. H. Murphy, J. J. Doyle, Ground- keeper A. H. Bell and his assistant, J. S. Landon, of the New York Base Ball Club arrived in Washington yesterday and spent several hours this morning in practice at National Park. Ward claims not to be at all hurt at the rude conduct of the Orioles in winning three straight from the Giants last week, and adds that the men from the metropolis will soon creep up the ladder and take a firm grip on first place. The schedule does not provide a game for the New Yorks today. Rusie is the survivor of the Indianapolis contingent bought by New York, in 1890, for $67,000, when Glasscock and Denny went to New York, but “jonahed” the metropolis, Davis is the crack player obtained in ex- change for the once great “Buck” Ewing. We, ervelt is serving his first year in pro- fesp.onal ranks. He has been for several years the crack amateur pitcher of New Jersey and pitched the New Jersey Athletic Club into the championship two seasons. Park Wilson, Jim Stafford and German were taken from minor leagues last year. Stafford frequently played in Washington in 1890, as a member of the Worcester Atlantic League nine. He was a pitcher that year. German pitched for Baltimore that year and was frequently seen here, New York got him from Buffalo. Fuller will be remem- bered as the old shortstop of the Washing- tons. Farrell and Meekin were here last year. Ward, Connor and Tiernan are old New York players. Clark was the crack pitcher of the Erie club in the Eastern League last year, and is called “Dad.” Van Haltren was secured from Pittsburg. He made his reputation with the Chicagos, whom he joined originally as a_ pitcher. Doyle and Burke have been with New York a couple of seasons. Murphy is the Yale shortstop. This is his first professional season. A Philadelphian’s View of the Sena- tors. Sporting Editor Diddlebock of the Phila- delphia Inquirer, who has seen all three games played by the Washingtons, says of (them in reviewing the condition and strength of ‘the league clubs: “Washington \is fortunate in having a good manager, | and while the team is comparatively new, the players composing it have already shown their ability to play ball, and if their weakness in the pitcher’s box can be remedied the ‘Senators’ are bound to stand | well up in the second division.” Present Giants of the Lengue. The title of Giants as applied to the New Yorks this season is a misnomer. Outside of Roger Connor and Amos Rusie most of the New York players belong to the mid- get class. Imagine Eddie Burke, Shorty | Fuller, Jack Doyle and George Davis pos-. ing as giants. The Chicagos are now the, “Giants” of the league as far as stature is concerned. Your Uncle Anson in making up his team for this season rather ran to, big men. No less than half a dozen of the | Chicagos are six feet and’ over in their stocking feet. The big men on the Chicago | team are Lange, Decker, the two Camps, | Clayter Abbey, Parrott and Anson himself, | The Chicagos will wear home uniforms of | solid white the coming season. Every-| thing—stockings, trousers, shirts and caps— j will be one shade. They will also wear long double-breasted white sack coats in- | stead of sweaters. White has a tendency | to make a man look larger than he really is. Anson’s men done up in solid white will look big enough to scare their oppo- | nents into giving up the game without striking a blow. The “Tackey” Players Players who are so thor: . ‘ly in earnest | that it is like robbing t) of meney to) lose a game, others who have nobbies and are superstitious and still others who are chronic growlers and kickers belong in a class known in base ball as “Tackey.” Some of the best players in the business | hold a high grade in the “Tacks" division, | * the Leagae. | | | | players. How would this do for a “’Tackey” team: Catchers, Billy Earle, Jack O’Con- nor and Kid Miller; pitchers, Kid Gieaso Tom Parrott and Gus Weyhing; first bas Tommy Tucker; second base, Jack Crook: Glasscock; outfielders, Bug Holliday, Bro- like to see this combination playing in a small town against a bum team and getting a shade the worst of the umpiring with the score slightly against them? Amateur Base Ball. The Young Senators would like to hear from any club in the city under the age of fourteen years. Address challenges to Wm. Puerues, 625 Rhode Island avenue northwest. The Young Nationals are composed of the following players: Howard, Russel, Hoover, Parkerson, Blakeney, Turley, Fitzpatrick, Ross and Burns. They. would like to play any club under fifteen years. Address challenges to J. Blakeney, 1717 6th street northwest. The Young WardS yesterday forfeited a game to the Young Jasper’s, by not ap- pearing on the grounds at the time set for the game. The Young Jaspers would iké to hear from all clubs whose members are not over twelve years. Address all challenges to Ralph Whelan, 436 9th street southwest. The Vigilant Base Ball Team expect to cross bats with the second nine of the Georgetown soon. The Young Eagles defeated the Farrell Juniors on Saturday by the score of 17 to 8. The battery for the winners was G. Daly and J. Ward. The Gonzaga College nine defeated the second team of the Business High School Saturday -by the score of 18 to 1. Address challenges to J.

They Broke the Record. It takes the elevator nine minutes to de- scend from the top of the Washington mon- ument to the ground. Last Friday morning Lave Cross, the third baseman, and Grady, @ catcher of the Philadelphia club, ran down the iron steps in seven minutes and brcke the best previous record by thirty seconds. Later in the day Cross was at- tacked by “Charley horse” in his right leg, and he ascribes it to the fact that he con- tinually turned on one leg coming down the monument. Base Ball Notes. This gives promise of being the greatest of the many great seasons base ball has ever enjoyed. The attendance Thursday was the largest in the history of the league, and even now the base ball and bat factories are running night and day and then can’t keep even on the orders for base ball supplies, If the few games so far played furnish any criterion to judge by, then there is many an upset in store for the wiseacres who have wasted a lot of printers’ ink: in the past figuring out how the teams will Stand at the end of the race. The New Yorks, Philadelphias, Bostons and Pittsburgs are the only teams that will not play Sunday games this season. No team in the league has a license in its pocket to beat the Washingtons. Gus Schmelz’s youngsters are going to be trouble- some, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Yale” Murphy, the collegian shortstop, is making quite a hit with the New Yorks. College players who have succeeded in pro- fessional ranks are very few and far be- tween. Not many of them have tried it. Murphy looks as if he had come to stay, The Pittsburg Base Ball Club is after @ mascot who will outclass all others. It is a boy who fell from the seventh story of a building. He struck a number of telegraph wires and finally landed on the back of a horse. The animal was killed, but the boy was only stunned. In three minutes he was receiving congratulations. John Ward is teaching his men how to play ball with signals. A few clever vase runners like we have here in Boston will make Mr. Ward forget his signal code.— Boston Globe. Anson set a mark for his boys by chas- ne himself fifteen times around the track without taking a rest. That meant that the old man had run five miles. He is | thirty pounds over weight and expects to take off that amount by hard work. “Arlie’) Latham stood perfectly still in @ game the other day, and to the amuse- ment of spectators let a fiy ball drop at his feet without putting out his hand to catch it. After it struck the ground the irrepressible clown picked the ball up, tossed it to the pitcher and yelled, “We don’t have to catch them kind this year, Mr. Umpire!’ Then Umpire McQuaid aroused himself and shouted, ‘“Batter’s out!” There was a runner on first base, and Latham was simply showing up the asinnity of the new rule which abolishes trapped bails. The men thus far signed for the Allen- town team are Mike Kelly, Jack Milligan, Sam Wise, Mike Kilroy, George Wood, Andy Costello and Mark Doran. Adrian C. Anson has been the marvel of the base ball profession. No other man who ever played ball can point to twenty- three years of successful life as a player on the ball field. They have sown world’s fair grass seed on the new diamond at Cincinnati, because this particular grass is said to have grown six inches in six weeks when put in Jack- son Park last sprinj “REDS” WON THE GAME. ‘Opening the Polo Season by the Chevy Chase Club. ‘The Chevy Chase Club opened the polo- playing season Saturday afternoon with a game between teams picked from the club. The sides were distinguished by the club colors, red and black, Messrs. Earle, Collier, Holloway and Morrow wearing the red, and Mess:s. Moore, Ryder, L. Earle and Broome supporting the black. Six periods were played. The first period was without a goal, the second and fourth were won by the blacks, and the reds took the game by winning the third, fifth and sixth periods. Ever since the closing days of the hunt- ing season the members of the club have been faithfully practicing for their game. The ladies were liberal in their applause for fine plays. A large number of spectators saw the sport from carriages. LASKER’S SEVENTH WIN. A Brilliant Partie Won From Steinitz in Masterly Style.

The Harlem Regatta Association of New York city will hold their annual races on Decoration day, May 30. These races are of considerable local importance and have more or less interest for the oarsmen of Washirgton. The Columbia Athletic Club at least will probably enter some crews in the races. The association offers gold die medals, silk banners and specific gold medals, be- sides the following challenge prize® Dia- mond sculls for senior singles, valued at $300; ladies’ challenge cup for senior dou- bles, valued at $100; grand challenge cup | for senior fours, valued at $500; Harlem cup for senior eights, valued at $500, and the Horse Racing Opposed at Chicago. The Chicago city council committee on licenses has agreed to recommend for passage an order declaring it to be the sense of the council that the mayor shall refuse to grant a Ifcense for racing to the Washington Park Jockey Club. To clinch the matter the committee also passed an order declaring that no licenses for racing shall be issued until after appli- cation has been made to the city council and the council has approved of the same. Clearwater Defeats D'Oro at Pool. ‘The continuous pool match between Clear- water and D'Oro for 1,200 points at Cleve- land was finished Saturday night. It was won by Clearwater, who secured 1,200 to his opponent's 1,888. The score for the evening was 196 for Clearwater and 228 tor D'Oro, The latter gave one of the most wonderful exhibitions of playing ever seen on a championship table. Eee EST A Lecture by Frederick Douglass. The last lecture in the course of six lectures last lecture in the course of six lectures given by the Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation of the District of Columbia will be delivered by Frederick Douglass in the main auditorium of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Wednesday evening, April 25.. The subject is “Self-Made Men.” It is said this will be one of his best efforts, since his ad- vanced age precludes his appearing as fre- quently aS in former years. The lecture will be particularly interesting to young men. ABOUT GEORGETOWN. Not Much Left to the Bondholders of the Railroad. What the Return of the Swallows Means to the Farmers—Other Matters of Interest. On the graduation of Miss Julia Cotter, daughter of Officer D. J. Cotter, from the Washington High School, about two years ago, preliminary steps were taken to enter a convent. On the advice of friends, though, she delayed action in this direction and went west to do mission work among the Indians of Arizona. For eighteen months she taught the little savages and then returned home. On the 13th instant Miss Cotter married Mr. Charles Banagan of the Metropolitan police force. The cere- mony took place at St. Patrick’s Church, Washington, The Railroad Sale. It is said that the $3,500 obtained for the Washington and Arlington. railroad and machinery will almost be entirely eaten up in expenses, leaving to the bond- holders, in whose interest the cor- poration was sold, practically nothing. Out of that amount the watchman who guarded the machinery for eleven months, the auctioneer and the advertising bills must be paid, together with the re- ceivers’ salary and the legal costs. The stockholders long ago ceased to be consid- ered in the case. Return of the Swallows. A sight that always gladdens the farmer’s heart was witnessed on Saturday at 4 p.m. It was the return of the swallows. When the swallows return the backbone of win- ter Is believed to have been broken. Every farmer, from the one who puts egg plants in the ground in the hope of bringing forth spring chickens to the one who will only have scientists for assistants, believes more in the swallows than he does in the at- mospheric conditions which surround him. Custom House Entries. During the two weeks ending Saturday, April 21, 1894, the following entries wére received at the Georgetown custom house: Still wine in bottles, $378; brandy in casks, $239; clears, $205; books, $401; wine in casks, $316; ginger ale in bottles, $386; antiquities, $1,424; manufacturers’ silk. $261; manufacturers’ metal, $189; silk clothing, $483; statuary, $618; total, $4,850. Notes of Interest. On Saturday the home, on N street, of the late Michael McGowan was put up at pub- lic auction and bought in by the widow. Boys have of late congregated about the Gay Street Baptist Church and disturbed the services, and the pastor, Rev. W. S. 0. Thomas, has asked the police to keep the corner clear, Howard West and William Kline, sixteen- year-old boys, were given a hi 1g in Judge Miller's court today on a charge of stealing $100 from the safe in W. H. Gas- kin's feed store on Water street several days ago. They were held fot the action of the grand jury. John W. Wheeler, a colored boy, stole a bicycle trom Mr. Koonce several days ago, and Saturday he was arrested while trying to dispose of the whee! in Baltimore. He was tried in the Police Court this morning, plead guilty to the charge and was held in $500 security for the grand jury. —_—> McKENDREE’S ANNIVERSARY. Appropriate Services Marked Its Ob- servance at the Church. Appropriate services held yesterday mark- ed the forty-ninth anniversary of the oc- cupancy of McKendree M. E. Church, on Massachusetts avenue between 9th and 10th streets, and the program published morning service the sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. J. H. Dashiell, who was con- nected with the church in 1874 and remain- ed in charge until three years later. Rev. Dr. Widerman, pastor of the church, pre- sided, and at the afternoon service deliv- ered a brief sermon. In the evening ser- made by those- who are acquainted with some of the past history of the church. The most prominent of these were Dr. Mc- Cauley and Dr. Morgan, at one time pre- siding elders in the Washington conference, who came over from Baltimore at the spe- cial request of the pastor. Rev. Dr. Wider- man delivered the sermon of the evening, in which he gave a general history of the edifice, from the time of its conception. —_ A Charch Entertainment. The ladies of the missionary societies of the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Rev. B. F. Bittenger gave their last enter- tainment Friday evening, and it was a financial and social success. The most at- tractive of the booths was that represent- ing the well. It was a bower of roses, trail- ing vines, palms and evergreens, in charge of Misses Mattie Church, Ethel Fishy, Irene Stephenson, Mary Leisheer, Wm. Church and Morris. Tiny tw old Margarita Depue was a great attrac- tion at the wigwam. Mrs. Depue was as- sisted by Mesdames Nathan Hazen, L. De- pue and J. Depue and Bell Leitzerger as lively squaws and Messrs. Bittenger and Depue as braves. The log cabin, where the Misses Birdie Spicer, Lizzie Glass and Han- nie Handy appeared as representatives of the mountain girl in the tar heel state, was very effective. Mrs. Yont, assisted by the Misses Sarah Hatch,Jenny Sands, Mary Church, Lauretta Wilkins, Margaret’ John- son and May Miller, personated senoritas, with Mr, Henry for the attentive senor. The Misses Wilson, Bella Wall, Amy Yerkes, Lizzie Godfrey, Law, Spicer, Hop- kins and others assisted Mrs. Wall as Jap- anese maidens, and Mr. Davis appeared as mandarin. Mrs. Taylor was assisted by the | young ladies of the Sunday school. Death of Mrs, Helen Forsberg Murray. Mrs. Helen Forsberg Murray, wife of Mr. W. J. Murray, died Wednesday after a lin- gering illness at her residence, No. 949 Vir- ginia avenue southwest. Mrs. Murray was in her thirty-fifth year. She was a woman of rare talents and conspicuously endowed with estimable qualities that endeared her to a large circle of friends, who sympathize with hef family in their terrible affliction. Mrs. Murray was the daughter of Mr. Gus- tave Forsberg and the sister of Capt. Helge Forsberg of the District artillery. Another brother, Mr. Gustave W. F. Forsberg, the artist, was taken to the grave only a year ago, and his funeral had been briefly pre- ceeded by that of Harold Forsberg, the fa- mous character actor and the eldest of the | gifted family. Mrs. Murray's funeral took place from the late residence at 2 o'clock p, m. Satur- |day, and the interment was at Rock Creek cemetery. Se Held for the Grand Jury. At an early hour Sunday morning, in {house No. 607 3d street southwest, there was a stabbing affray, which came near ending in the death of Henry Nelson. It was about 1 o'clock when John Nelson and his brother engaged in the altercation. John called to see his brother, but they had not been on friendly terms. John is a notorious law- number of times. Their sister was there at the time, and when Henry grew tired of his guest he asked him to leave. But John did not feel so inclined, and he used a table knife on Henry's throat, inflicting a inful wound, which was sewed up by Dr. Pyle at the Emergency Hospital, Policeman Whalen arrested John later in the morning, and he was tried in court this morning for attempted murder.

The rather startling stories of alleged grave defects in the fine cruiser New York have not created much excitement at the Navy Department for the reason, it is stated «it the department, that every one of the facts has been known to the Navy Department for months and before she sailed for Rio. The revival of these stories at this time is attributed by Assistant Secretary Mc- Adoo of the navy to personal dissatisfac- tion among the New York's officers and crew at being kept in the tropics when they had expected to be comfortably fixed on the home station, and to pique at the severe criticisms upon the personnel of the ship made by Admiral Belknap’s imspec- tion board. Assistant Secretary McAdoo says that there never was a war vessel launched that did not require some changes after practical tests of the completed mechanism, and that the New York was by no means exceptionally defective. The explanation of the present complaint is attributed by Mr. McAdoo to the fact that the New York was sent away to Rio to meet an emer- gency and so had no opportunity to de- velop her defects while within easy reach of home. It is a fact that just before she sailed the mechanics were at work on her turrets machinery and the ammunition hoists, and that had to be suspended until the ship returned, for it hes been the in- tention of the department to bring her home just as soon as she could be spared from the South Atlantic station. No Serious Defects. It was hoped that the matters complained of might be remedied, in part at least, by the crew while the ship was on her way to Rio, and it appears that this was actually done by Ensign Daehiell, an ordnance ex- pert. None of the detects are serious, nor will any considerable expense be involved in their correction. Capt. Sampson, ‘chief of the ordnance bureau, says that the trouble with the turret-tu mechanism can be corrected by the simple change of @ gear so as to reduce the speed of the handwheel which controls 4he engines. The ammunition hoists, he says, are now in perfect order, and only need adjustment. Vessels ouil: since the New York, notably the Columbia, have improved apparatus, but the Monterey equipped as the New York, tas had no trouble with her hoists. The magazines can readily be kept cool by ilip has made no report to the depart- ment since going to tio relative to any- thing beyond some suggested changes in the arrangement of the battery. ————_—_—-+______ TOO READY WITH A PISTOL. Policeman Mo! Receives a Severe Lecture From Judge Kimball. There was a game of crap in progress in Shepherd's alley yesterday, but it did not cause anything like the trouble that Po- iceman John Mohi did when he appeared upon the scene and made the colored boys Scatter, Although a number of persons were interested in the game, there were others there who were not, and the al- leged reckless use of a revolver by the Policeman caused a scare, but fortunately for the officer the bullet took effect only in the wall of a house.

Sullivan, corner of Ist and Pierce streets, was visited by burglars, who car- ried off nearly $100 worth of cigars, cigar- ettes, tobacco and groceries, and the affair was reported to the police. Precinct Detec- and ington made a thorough investigation of the affair. They in locating some of the plunder in a vacant house, 74 M street northwest, and also learned that one of the alleged burglars had borrowed from Mr. Sullivan his shovel, and this was used in digging a trench in which to bury the plunder. The officers received information that the vacant house would be visited last evening, and so they went on watch soon after run- down. About 8 o'clock two colored boys, William Patten and Frank Bell, appeared and were about to enter the house when the officers arrested them. They were per- fectly willing to talk,and upon the strength of their information the officers arrested James Hunter and Richard Goodall, and charged the quartet with burglary. The case will probably be heard in Police Court . saan ———__. A Buddbist Priest's Lecture.
