W. mye ——O— eee? ew SCHMELZ COMPLAINS Lack of Pride in the Local Base Ball Team. THE TOWN AGAINST HOME PLAYERS Umpires Give the Visitors the Best of It. NOTES ABOUT THE CLUBS ———— PEAKING OF THE base ball outlook | Manager Schmelz | stated yesterday that | the management of | @ base ball team in| Boston, McCarthy went out, from Petty to Cartwright, Nusa nit to Joyce and was thrown out at first, and Tucker waited un- tll three strikes were called on him. Third inning: Radford knocked a high fly to center, wnich was caught. Joyce and Abbey waited for four bed bails,and on Mc- Guire’s fly to center Joyce reached third, scoring a moment later when Merritt threw wildly to second in an endeavor to catch by making a fly. In the visitors’ haif Bannon was the first man out on @ foul fly to Abbey. Merritt made a sim- ilar hit, which was caught by Joyce after a hard run. Staley followed with a single,but ‘was forced at second on Lowe's grounder. Fourth inning: Selbach started off with a three-base hit to left and scored on Cart- wright’s sacrifice to center. Tebeau, ater two strikes had been called, hit to right,but was caugnt stealing second. Petty struck out. Boston made two in their half. Long hit the first bail pitched to left field for two bases. Duffy singled, on which Long reach- ed the plate, Suvetts was an easy out to Tebeau. Nash then made a short hit over second and Tucker followed his example, on which Duffy scored. Gannon hit to short, advancing Nash to third, but forced Tucker at second. Then a very pretty play oc- curred. As Bannon started to steal second McGuire threw to Selbach, and instantly the Washington short stop passed the bail to Joyce, who touched Nash, the Boston captain having stepped off third base. Washington is in- cumbered with the! greatest of draw-| backs. “This capital of the United States of America is pos-| sessed of less pride | regarding the na-| tional game th any other city in the country,” said Mr. Schmelz. “The town semse to be for the most part against the home team, while in every other place the situation is just the reverse. “It is hard enough to get together a winning team when you wwe the solid support of the patrons, Every man in the profession understands the difficulty of playing in Washington, and it is an un- disputed fact that if @ good player should be released by a club at the present time he would prefer signing with any other team in the league than the local one. It is almost impossible for our organization to secure the services of a good man. “Umpires, as a general rule, in other cities give close decisions in favor of the home club, but here they seem to think that they will be becked up for doing otherwise. Another sample of animosity was displayed when the ball rolled under the gate in Tuesday's game. Somebody opened the gate end aided the Brooklyn player to quickly field the sphere. “Again, Washington has been howling for years and years because its ball club has not had a wide-wake captain, but now that it has one who is not afraid to stand up for the interests of the team the cry is on the other side. In my opinion, Joyce has done no more kicking than was justi- fied, and every objection made by him was the result of most intense provocation. Then there are certain newspaper corre- spondents, who, after accepting the hospi- tality of the club, take delight in sending dispatches to their papers utterly false and derogatory to the Washingtons. As a sample, here is a clipping, tending to in- jure the Wagners, and which contains not a word of truth: “There are some close-fisted people in every line of business. If all reports are true the base ball profession has a few in the vicinity of the capital city. It is re- ported that when Manager Ward took his men out to the W: morning for practic ner telegraphed from Phiiadelphia, telling them that they could not use the ground: This is very mean treatment, especially as the New York club gave President Wagner $7,500 a few weeks ago for a $750 battery.’ ‘Another statement to the effect that our players on Tuesday dared Mr. Stage to give the game to Brooklyn originated in the mind of the writer of the same. Then some person, adopting the nom de plume of ‘Spectator, wrote to The Star, abusing the management for not refunding the gate receipts on the day of the forfeited game, when our men were on the field and ready and anxious to continue play. Those peo- ple do more to injure the sport than any- thing else I know of. “We are using every endeavor to give Washington a winning ball club, but that will be impossible unless we receive the same loyal support from the patrons that is such a prominent feature elsewhere, and is so utterly lacking here.” ‘The large crowds which have been turn- ing out to the games show the great hold which this pastime hae again taken. There is now no reason why the people, having once more taken an interest in the game, should not continue to do so. | Again Boston drew a cipher. The surprise, though, is the number of ladies that are now present at the games in all cities. A few years ago it was some- what of a novelty to see more than a few ladies at the ball parks, while now it is sel- dom that several scores of them cannot be seen in the grand stands, and on ladies’ days, or on special occasions, they are out in large numbers. Then, those who were present at the games knew little or nothing of how they were played; now, they not only know the fine points of the pastime, but also the names of the players and a great deal of the history of the game. That the championship race will be close and exciting was expected,and many believe that it will be the most sharply contested of any in the history of the organization. At any rate, the team that does land the pennant will have to go through a great many battles and when the end of the sea- son arrives will know that it has been in a fight. The clubs that were in the thickest of the fray last season are there again, Boston, Philadelphia and Cleveland losing no time in rushing to the front. Unless handicapped by accidents or some other unforeseen causes they should stay there, but there is no telling at present whether they will make things interesting for each other or not, or whether some club that was not particularly dangerous last season will step in and spring a surprise un the know-it-alls, In regard to the standing of the clubs it must be admitted that New York, Brooklyn and Chicago are not highly elated over the showing thus far made by the clubs which represent them on the diamond. Chicago's showing has been a particularly disastrous one, and it behooves Manager Capt. Anson to give his youngsters a thorough shaking up or else they wiil soon be so far distanced that they will be entirely out of hailing dis- tance of the leading teams. ‘There is some excuse for the set-backs re- ceived by New York and Brooklyn, for they were badly hampered during the first days of their training by the heavy snow storm which set in during the first week in April. That they should lose a few games at the start was only to be expected. As for the Phillies, they got in a couple of weeks’ practice during the good weather of March; Washington was but slightly af- fected, Boston played all winter on ihe Pacific coast and only needed a couple of weeks’ rest to put them in good shape and Baltimore, being in the south, was not hin- dered in the least. The Baltimore club’s officials made a shrewd move when they decided to send their team south for the early practice. When the race for the championship started they were in the best condition of any of the teams, and their playing against New York and Boston was of the finest kind. The greatest enthusiasm has been aroused in the national game in the monumental city, and the large-sized crowds which have been turning out every day have already made up for the extra expense incurred on the southern trip. The eathusiasts in Baltimore are al talking of winning the pennant, but while it is expected that they will give the lead- ers a hard battle all the season, it is scarcely to be expected that they wiil win the pennant, although if they keep up their present rate of playing they will not only make it mighty uncomfortable for their op- ponents, but will finish well up with the leaders, BOSTONS HIT HARD AND OFTEN. Another Game Won From the Wash- ingtous by the Champions. Washington used three pitchers against the champion Bostons yesterday afternoon and then lost the game by a score of 15 to 5. Things looked very bright at the start. For Washington, Radford hit to Long, who fumbled the ball and then hurled it over Tucker's head, the runner going to second on the misplay. Joyce waited for four balls, and on Abbey's out both men’ moved up a base. McGuire scored them on a hit. Bos- ton was blanked, Second inning: Cartwright’s foul fly was caught by Merritt, Tebeau hit to an out- fielder and Petty did likewise to Long Fifth inning—Radford again started off. He hit a hard one to Nash, who fumbled the ball, but recovered it in time to catch the runner at first. Joyce filed to Stivetts, who had taken McCarthy's place, and Ab- bey was thrown cut from third to first. Merritt hit to Selbach and was thrown out at first. Staley then knocked an easy grounder toward Cartwright, but Petty ran over to frst and received the ball before Merritt touched the bag. Lowe struck out. Sixth inning—McGuire hit to Lowe and Was thrown out at first. “Roaring Bill” Hasamaear sent a pretty single over sec- ond, and the next batter, Selbach, hit a fly which fell gracefully into Stivetts’ out- Stretched hands. Cartwright hit to Nash, Who threw Hasamaear out at second. Three runs were made by the visitors in their half of the sixth. Long hit for a single back of second, then Tucker and Lowe gave an exhibition of coaching that surpassed anything of a similar nature seen here for some time. Duffy wes an easy out to Abbey, and a moment later Siivetts hit to Selbach, who fumbled the ball, and then threw wildly to first, allowing Long to Teach third and Stivetts second. Nash was given his base on balls. Tucker singled to right, and, on the throw in, reacned second, where he danced a wild clog in his happiness. Bannon sacrificed from second to first, and on Merritt's single over Hasa- maear’s head, Tucker scored. Staley flied to ‘Hesamaear, Seventh Inning—It was one, two three order for Washington. Tebeau hit to Long and was thrown out at first, Petty’s foul fy was caught by Merritt and Radford went out, Nash to Tucker. The result in- dicated that all the luck was with Boston. Stephens was substituted by Manager Schmelz for Petty. Lowe was given nrst on balls. Long bunted and reached first safely. Duffy also bunted, but Stephens threw bad- ly and Cartwright muffed the ball. Three men were on bases, and a run was forced as Stivetts took first on balls. Nash then singled to right and Long scored. ‘‘ommy Tucker added to the agony by knocking a double to right, sending in three more men. Bannon was hit by a pitched ball, and on Merritt's single reached third, Tucker scor- ing. Staley was thrown out, Hasamacar to Cartwright, but Bannon reached nome on the play. Lowe then hit to Stephens and was thrown out at first. Long made a home run, scoring Merritt, but Duffy took pity on the tired Senators and ended the inning with @ fly to Selbach, Nine runs were scored. Eighth inning—Joyce went @ slow grounder to Tucker. Abbey hit to Staley and was thrown out at first, and Nash caught McGuire’s liner. Young Mercer then went in the box and did better than his colleague. Stivetts Was out from short to first; Nash flied to Seibach and irrepressible Tommy ‘Tucker hit a little ome to Mercer, who threw to Cartwright. Ninth inning—Hasamaear hit to left for a@ single. Selbach took first on balis, but Cartwright’s hit to short allowed a double play. Tebeau scored Hasamaear on a three bagger, and Mercer ended the game on an out at first from Staley to Tucker.

Parrott is Cincinnati's winning pitcher. Cross is pushing Nash this year as a third baseman par excellence. “Jimmy” Ryan is with Anson, but has not yet played with the Colts, The Louisvilles are probably the weakest batting team in the league. John Clarkson is pitching as well as he ever did in his best days on the diamond. Ruste made the first home run in a cham- Pionship game on the Polo ground this year. Tom Tucker's earnestness {s refreshing. He grabs at thrown balls as if to say “Come here, I want to eat you.” And he eats them.—New York Press. Capt. Nash of the Bostons is quoted as saying: “I do not think that a club would be at all the loser if it would make the event of winning a pennant profitable for the players. Of the captains in the league four are third basemen, three are first basemen, two are second basemen, one a shortstop, one a catcher and one a right fielder. Pitcher Gastright wanted $350 a month to play in Providence. It is more than probable that every team in the league will take a southern trip next year. It is said that after a New York game the other day the Baltimoreans in Gotham sang this very softly: The Giants’ neck is ’neath thy heel, Baltimore, oh, Baltimore, Say, tell us, please, how does it feel, Baltimore, oh, Baltimore?

Last Tuesday evening when the Balti- mores, with Brooklyn's “‘castoffs"—Brouth- ers and Keeler—were leading the league, and Brooklyn, with Shindle and Treadway, Was at the tail end, Messrs.

The Sporting Life says Ramsey ts pltch- ing in his old form for the Savannah club. Bad throws are very costly on the new Cincinnati grounds.

In the sixth inning of a recent Baltimore- Brooklyn game Foutz took advantage of Pitcher Brown's politeness. Brown was on first base when a ball that had been fouled gut of the ground was thrown back. On Foutz’s request he threw it to the umpire. Foutz signaled Stein, who held the other bail in play, to throw it to first, and Brown was caught several feet fro! hy not utilize electricity on the base ball diamond with a view to preventing dis- putes with umpires?

A return to the much-vaunted white stock- ings hasn't brought victory to the Chicagos. “All signa fail in dry weather,” and just now the wnhite-haired chief is having his troubles, With the withdrawal of Anson from first base goes the last of the famous white stocking team that created such a furore in 1878, 1 and 1880. Anson, Kelly and Burns are managing teams, Corcoran, Williamson and Flint are dead, and Goldsmith, Quest, Gore and Dalrymple have retired from the business. Says a Baltimore paper: Stage is the best umpire who has appeared at Union Park this season. His judgment of balls and strikes was as accurate as Gaffney’s in his best days, sions were Stage says that he is quite sure of being upheld in his decision at Washington Tues- day, when he awarded the game to Brook- lyn because Washington refused to play. “Ten-Thousand-Dollar” Clarkson received a letter from Charlie Bennett the other day. The first line in the letter wa: ‘I can walk now.” In other words, Charlie has a pair of artificial legs, and can get around with- out crutches. —_—_>__. JUVENILE OPERA. Procla- looks “The Pirates” at the Academy Last Night—“Pinafore” Tonight. The success that attended the juvenile performance of “Pinafore” induced the la- dies of the Homeopathic Hospital to at- tempt another one of Gilbert and Sullivan's operas with a different set of children, and the result was seen last night in the pre- sentation of “The Pirates of Penzance” at the Academy of Music. The audience was of good size and unusually sympathetic, many of the solo numbers and choruses being encored, while the youthful princi- pals were deluged with flowers by admir- ing friends. The ‘Pinafore’ principals, who naturally feel as if they were post graduates, occupied boxes and heartily ap- plauded all the efforts of those who ap- peared for the first time behind the foot- lights. The performance was a pleasing one and reflected credit upon all connected with it. The hit of the evening was made by Master Frank Shipe, who, as the Ser- geant of Police, displayed the possession of remarkable comic talent. He received a double recall for his song, “A Policeman's Lot is Not a Happy One,” and whenever he and his squad of ‘cops’ appeared the applause was emphatic and prolonged. Arthur Clifton ag the Pirate King, Bd- ward Eynon as Frederick and George Welsh as Maj. Gen. Stanley were all ef- —- and commendation is also due to Louis e, who was the Samuel. Emma Heinrichs looked very pretty as Mabel and sang very sweetly, and was enthusiastically encored for her solo, “Poor Wandering One.” The Ruth of Louise Childs was an excellent performance, and she sang and acted with remarkable spirit. Misses Eleanor Adams as Kate, Ethel Sutton as Edith and Jewel D. Hay as Isabel made a very attractive trio and performed their parts well. The choruses were all well sung, showing the careful training of Mr. Harry Wheaton Howard, who was the mu- sical director, and on whom has devolved the task of rehearsing this large force of children. Mr. Eugene Davis was an effi- cient stage manager, and Mr. H. P. Hoover satisfactorily performed the duties of piano accompanist. “The Pirates” will be repeated at the matinee today, and tonight “Pinafore” will be repeated by the excellent cast that so successfully presented it last February. The chorus of “The Pirates” ts as follows: Gen. Stanley's daughters, Marion Adam: Marjorie Colton, Maggie Davis, Jennie Doo. little, Sadie Doolittle, Lillian Draney, W! nona Donn, Bessie Guy, Rail Hahn, Jean- nette Harris, Selina Harris, Edith Le Duc, Helen McCoy, Rose Marcy, Marie Matting- ly, Edna Porter, Marion Potts, Ruth Potts, Katie Preston, Florence Renshawe, Mai Robinson, Genevieve Simms, ther Speir, Janet Stearns, Jeannette Stevens, Lillian Utermehle and Ethel Warden.

It Will Give an Excursion a: Bake at Marshall Hall Not to be behind in keeping with season in what has come to be one of its recog- nized features in Washington, the board of trade will give an excursion on Thursday, the 17th, to Marshall Hall, including, of course, one of the planked shad dinners for which that resort is famous. The Macale: ter will take down the members of the board and their guests, including members of both houses of Congress, the principal officials of the District government, the Dis- trict judiciary and many prominent citizens. The boat will leave the wharf about 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, returning at @ convenient hour at night. It has been suggested that a brief trip be first made around the harbor and flat improvements of the river front, to give the members of the board and those enjoying their hospi- tality an opportunity to see the vast work that has been accomplished in that direc- tion within a few years past. It is thought that there will be no difficulty in adding this profitable feature to the other pleasures of the trip. The intention of those having charge of the excursion is to make it an occasion of general reunion of the business men of the city, to the end that a better acquaintance may promote the work of the board of trade in the interests of the nation’s capi- tal. INSURANCE MEN DINE Annual Excursion of the Underwriters’ Association to Marshall Hall. Patriotic Utterances of Messrs. Wolf Davis—Everybody Ate Planked Shad and Enjoyed Themselves. OfMfieially the Association of Fire Vater writers of the District have a jolly time once @ year at Jeast. Personally these fes- tive occasions no doubt occur frequently during the year, but as an association the great gala occasion is the annual excur- sion to Marshall Hall. Yesterday afternoon nearly 200 members and guests went on board Capt. Blake's boat and started on a voyage to that popular river resort. As the president of the association, Capt. R. W. Tyler, remarked later in the day, they had not come together to talk shop, and there was, in fact, very little shop talked. Every- body was out for a good time, and dull care, if it was inclined to perch anywhere in the vicinity, was effectually frightened away by the smiling faces and happy laughter of the excursionists. The com- mittee of arrangements, ot which Mr. B. Lewis Blackford was the main part, had provided a slight lunch on the boat, the bowl filled with a brew, the secret of its decoction, belonging to Mr. Blackford, but the excellence of which is known to the members of the association. The various forms of amusement at Mar- shall Hall were promptly utilized when the party reached that resort, and even a game of base ball was organized under the di- rection of F. H. Barbarin and T. Janney Brown, and the teams for three innings, or until the dinner bell sounded, played some remarkable ball, resulting in a score of seven runs for the Brown team and five runs for the Barbarin team. The victors claimed that in addition to getting the two extra runs they had to play against the umpire, Mr, E. G. Schafer, which their op- ponents denied. However, the entire party Sat down very amicably together to dinner. Capt. Dyler Starts t! Speeches. The thres long tables in the dining hall was filledand an extra table was set under the trees outside of the hall. A vast quan- uty of planked shad was stowed away,and when the diners began to have a little leis- ure Capt. Tyler rapped for attention, which if he did not get at once, was not because the members did not want to hear him. However, he did get their attention, and, as usual, he made an appropriate and happy I'ttle speech of welcome, also adding words of congratulation on the prosperity of the association, the best of evidence of which, he said, was the fact that it was still in existence. He then called on Mr. Simon Wolf to make a speech, and then to officiate as tcastmaster. Mr. strong and well received. In speaking of the importance of guarding against the Tavages of fire, he adverted to current events by graphically picturing the perils that flow from mob violence. He strongly deprecated the prevalence of crankism and other isms, and emphasized the necessity of true American principles, stamping out folly and absurdity, and checking the peril to our institutions which the growth of such sentiments were greeted by an enthusiastic outburst of applause. : The same thought was taken up by the next speaker, Mr. breasts of the representative audience which he addressed. He declared that the dargers which threatened the foundation on which American liberty rested were of vastly more consequence than those which arise from the ravages of material fire. In closing he recited a portion of that stirring patriotic poem of Drake's, beginning “W! Freedom from her mountain heights. patriotic utterances evoked the liveliest ezpressions of approval. Gen. Anderson, who represents the in- surance men of Baltimore, also responded to @ toast, and so did Mr. Blackford and Mr. W. Riley Deeble, the chairman of the executive committee. At intervals during the dinner the Appollo Quartet rendered a cwumber of beautiful selections in their usu- ally effective style. Mr. Samuel Cross sang the Sword of Bunker Hill, and received enough applause during the singing and at its clese to warrant five or six enchores. He merely bowed his acknowledgments. Tho: the Party.

EISNER & MENDELSON ©0., Agents, 15: IN LOCAL STUDIOS, The art season is rapidly drawing to a | close. Most of the artists are preparing to leave the city, or have already done so, many going to Europe, others to the mou tains, seashore or country, according to their individual requirements. By several artists preparations have already been in- | augurated for next season’s exhibitions, and everything promises a most interesting continuation of last winter's activity among the brotherhood of brush and palette wield- ers. Two of the best exhibitions of work ever held in this city are now going on, one by Mr. William Ordway Partridge in the Cosmos Club House, the other by Mr. Rufus Zogbaum in the Fischer Gallery. The exhibition of sculpture which is be- | ing held by Mr. Partridge in the Cosmos | | he j of cellence and artistic merit any previous exhibitions by one person held in this city. The collection is a smail one, numbering fully believes that it is the mission of crt unveiled in Lincoln Park, Chicago. The unveiling of this statue marked the second public success of this sculptor, the | first one being the bronze statue of Alex- | ander Hamilton, which stands before the | Hamilton Club House, in Brooklyn. The portrait bust of Kev. 1 Edward | Everett Hale, which has been purchased by the Union League Club of Chicago, is on view in the liection at the Cosmos Club. It is an exceptionally striking example of | the wonderful insight into character which the plaster may be made to reveal by a | master hand. The bust is not merely a fan- | ciful construction, bearing a good likeness of the man, but is Dr. Hale himself; e feature seems to have been reproduced. The sturdy, rugged frame, the shaggy brows, the deep-set eyes, and the strong, kind face, »ll are there, plain as though printed in black a ha E.

The will be open to visitors until May 8, from 2 to 5 each afternoon, and the evening of the 8th, from § to lv. The exhibition of Mr. Zogbaum in the Fischer gallery is unique. It comprises twenty-five paintings in black and white, the originals from which reproductions have been made and used in the most pop- ular of our current magazines. The sub- jects are nearly all taken from military life, of which every phase is depicted, from the West Point cadet on guard to the most elaborate “Naval Action.” “All Hands to Skylark,” which receiv an award at the Columbian exhibition, is one of the finest specimens of black aod white work in the collection, the two danc- ing figures in the foreground being fairly alive in their jolly double-shuffle. “The White Fleg,” a battleship in action, ap- peared in Harper's Magazine of last April, by Mr. Partridge in making this Grant &% ar Keogh’s horse, and the only survivor of the | Custer massacre found on the battle-field on the arrival of Terry’s command. Up to | the time of the horse's death he was pa- rade riderless with the seventh cavairy on | occasion: ceremony. “The Chief of Platoon” is also a splendid study of action. “Gone to Earth” ts equally fine, particularly | the group of dogs in the foreground. “The | Market Boat"*is the only colored picture exhibited, and is a striking combination of pen and ink and water color. “In the Cock- pit” shows the surgeons at work over the wounded on a battleship in action. In this the drawing is unusually clever, and t light and shade handled in a ‘masterful fashion. The exhibition will continue until the 8th, and will amply reward an examina- tion. Mr. Uhl's friends are delighted to weleome him back, after almost a year’s absenc which time was spent by the artist in trav- eling through New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, executing commissions for portraits. Among these was a life-size half-lengtn portrait of Gen. Thomas Ewing, executed for the Ohio Society. The figure is in an easy, graceful position, the color warm and agreeable, and the whole canvas painted in the artist's happiest vein of artistic orig- inality. Mr. Uhl is at present engaged on ze, three-quarter-length portrait of Mrs. Gen. B. F. Spinola of New York, and a bust portrait of Mrs. F. C. Good of this clty. Next Thursday evening and Friday and Saturday afternoons the Art Students’ League will be opened to welcome its friends and patrons to another of its an- rual exhibitions of work by members and students.
