APPARENT WEAKNESS OF THE INFIELD Fourth Successive Defeat by the Baltimore Club. BOOKED FOR LAST PLACE —————— The base ball season is sufficiently ad- vanced to make one thing certain to the local ball cranks. It is that Manager Schmelz cannot expect to drag the Wash- ington club from last place with the team constituted as at present. To be sure, Chicago loses with equal regularity, but Uncle Anson will surely strengthen his anticipate him. In the first place, Paul Radford, honoest, hard-working ball player as he is, will never fill the bill at shortstop. He has been thoroughly tried in the infield in years gone by and had to be restored to his proper place in the outfield. In the second place, Sullivan has not shown up in the form that would warrant keeping bat as hard as he falls down he would be all right. Unless Ward should prove fit to resume second base satisfactorily it is ap- parent to those who have closely watched the play of the Senators that it is abso- lutely necessary to secure a new second baseman and a new shortstop if it is in- tended to win by play and not by luck a fair proportion of games. Now, as to the outfield. The most per- sistent grumbler has nothing but good words for Abbey. He plays left field all he knows how, and that is a good deal. He ood batter and a fine runner and is in the game. Tebeau, thus far, is a weak spot. He is a sure catch, but he can’t run and his batting is fair and that only in spots. Selbach is a good fielder. He shows excellent judgment in running for fly balls and he covers a great deal of territory. He made a splendid run for Brouthers’ long fly which nearly struck the score board yesterday, and he doubtless would have made the catch had he not fallen when he turned, for he was well under the ball. Paul Radford is not a Brouthers at the bat, but he is a good right flelder. It is doubt- ful, therefore, if Manager Schmelz at pres- ent could strengthen the outfield of Abbey, Seibach and Radford. He can strengthen his infield, however, which is weak, and the stay-at-homes will expect to hear very shortly of the engagement of some new men. If not the management may expect to see the crowds at the bali park dwindle perceptibly and rapidly. Before the season opened was the time to find out if Selbach could play short stop and not in the cham- Pionsaip games. ‘These comments voice the expressions of those who like io see earnest bali playing, not the kind they have been treat- ed to recently. Who could sit still and not grumble to see big First Baseman Cart- wright attempt to steal third on Robinson when there was a good chance of his being batted home? Who could but grow! when he saw Radford, advanced from first on a rat- tling hit by Joyce, run half way to third, then turn in his tracks and allow Joyce, who had followed to second, to be caught Nainly trying to get back to first? It n't the fact that the home club is beaten that causes the spectators to kick. A well- Played game, win or lose, is always met with the universal remark, “Well, the Sen- ators played a strong game, anyhow.” But such exhibitions as have been given at the 7th street park of late do not come within the league base ball playing class. The j cranks would be glad to hear that Manager Schmelz has a line out to land such a man as Shorty Fuller, who has been succeeded by Murphy as shortstop for New Yorks. ler is not a heavy hitter, but, th neither is Sullivan, and Fuiler does not fall down half the time. There would be no jowling if it should be announced that Jack ‘rooks has placed his signature to a Wash- ington contract to play second base. How- ever, the local cran! i mate the men to be tention to the necessity of signing some men, and signing them quickly. It may be that Jonn McMahon when he gets well can play a good short or a good second; it is known that he can play a good first. But he isn’t with the team now, and somebody is needed to play now. Cart- wright fields this position well, but he is not up in batting, and it ts sald that big Bill_Brown has been or will be released by Louisville. Nearly every club is carry- ing more men than it needs, and several of them will unquestionably let go a player or two if the request is accompanied by @ portion of the $7,500 that was received for Meekin and, Farrell. By the way, those men have proved a heavier loss to Wash- ington than they have gain to New York. ‘We haven't the pitchers that a league team ought to have, but the public would like to see the pitchers that we have backed up properly by men who know how to play ll and who try to play all the time. Just look at the Baltimores. Any pitcher could pitch well when he knew he was supported by live men, who never lose point and who are on their toes all the ume. Baltimore mentioned because Manager Hanlon has built his team up from just as poor a nucieus as Washington has. He followed the rule, however, of holding on to a good man when he got him and letting go an indifferent player when he discovered his indifference. Let us see some real ball playing, Mr. Schmelz. FOURTEENTH DEFEAT. Washington Again Beaten by the Baltimore Team. The two dales—Stccks and Dug—officiated as battery for the Washington Base Ball Club yesterday, but again the visitors re- turned to the monvmental city with vic- tory perched upon their shoulders. Interest, however, prevailed throughout the contest, the monotony of Merday’s game being ab- sent. Manager Schmeiz’s men tried hard to win, but were outplayed all around. Mc- Mahon pitched for Baltimore, and was touched up rather lively at times. The game in detail follows: First inning—MecGraw singled past Rad- ford, Stocksdale hit Keeler and Dugdale fumbled Brodie’s bunt, placing three men on bases. Dan Brouthers fouled out to Joyce. Kelley hit to Radford, but the short- stop fumbled, allowing McGraw to score and the runner to reach first. Bonner sin- wled to right and Keeler and Brodie scored. Bonner took second on Stocksdale’s wild pitch. On Jennings’ hit to Radford Kelley was run down between third and the plate, Jernir gs taking second on the play. Robin- son flied out to Abbey. Radford knocked a high fly, which Brouth- ers gathered in. Joyce took first on balls. Dugdale hit to Bonner, forcing Joyce. Ab- bey flied to Keeler. Second inning—McMahon singled to right. McGraw followed with one over third that looked safe, but Abbey took care of it and doubled McMahon at first. Keeler hit to right, which bounded over the fence, and the runner crossed the plate. Brodie flied to Sullivan. Sullivan started off for Washington by going out; McGraw to Brouthers. The big first baseman made a neat catch of Sel- bach’s high foul. Cartwright was hit by the ball, but Tebeau's fly fell into Keeler’s outstretched hands. Tnird inning—Brouthers hit a two-bagger into Tebeau’s territory. Kelley shoved a grounder to Radford, going out at first, but advancing Brouthers to third. After a hard run Selbach captfred Bonher’s short fly. Jennings rapped one between left and cen- ter, scoring Brouthers, and Radford fum- bled Robinson’s hard-hit grounder, allowing Jennings to take second. McMahon went hort to first. Stocksdale tapped a single over McGraw's head, and then Radford struck one which bounded out of McMahon's hand. A mo- ment later Joyce’s three-bagger scored both Stocksdale and Radford. Dugdeie went out, pitcher to first, but Joyce scor:d on @ short passed ball. Abbey followed with a three- basger to right, and the bleachers went wild. The score was tied by Abbey on Sul- livan.’s sacrifice to short. Selbach went out; McGraw to Brouthers. Fcurth inning—McGraw flied to Tebeau. Keeler sent one in the same direction, but Sullivan fell down in an attempt to catch it, and the runner reached second. Brodie went out to Selbach, Keeler taking third and scoring a moment later on Brouthers’ three-bagger to far right field, which Sel- bach would have caught had he not stum- bled over a rise of the ground. Dan was left on third, as Kelley went out; Radford to Cartwright. ‘Washington’s first baseman hit the first ball pitched to left center for a single. “White Wings” Tebeau waited for four team, and the local manager had better |’ him at either short or second. If he could | fi balls, and took second Cartwrig! caught trying to steal third. Stocksdale sent a fly into McGraw’s hands, but Tebeau scored on Radford’s single between first and second. Paul took third on the throw in. He got no further, for Joyce retired the ht was 3, second to first. Fifth inning—Bonner went out on a foul fly to Dugdale, Jennings went to first on balls and Robinson made a two-bagger to left, scoring Jennings. McMahon made the second man out, from short to first, on which Robinson took third. McGraw was hit by the ball, but Keeler proved an easy out to Tebeau. Dugdale flied to Brouthers. Abbey did bet- ter by cracking a single over McGraw’ head. Sullivan waited for four bad ones, and Selbach advanced both men a base by going out; pitcher to first. No runs result- ed, however, for,Cartwright hit to Jennings, who easily threw him out. Sixth inning—Brodie tapped the ball to Radford, who made a pretty pick up and as- sist to first. Brouthers hit to the same place, but it was too hot for Paul. Dan was caught a moment later trying to reach second. Kelley was sent to first, and ran around to Joyce’s bag on Bonner's single to right. Jennings filed to Sullivan. Center Fielder Tebeau advanced to the plate for Washington, and promptly went out on a fly ball to Bonner. Stocksdale hit to Brouthers and was declared out on a close decision. “Lucky Paul” Radford took first on balls, and Joyce cracked a single to right, but was caught between first and second when Radford stopped at the latter , because of poor coaching. Seventh inning—Capt Robinson hit at the | ball threestimes, and was thrown out; Dug- dale to Cartwright. McMalion immediately thereafter went out; Sullivan to Brouthers. Both Tebeau and Selbach fumbled Mc- Graw’s single to right center, but Keeler’s out at first retired the side. On a fly wo Brodie, Dugdale went out. Journalist Abbey followed suit, the ball fall- ing into Brouthers’ capactous paws. Sulli- van hit to Jennings and was thrown out at rst. Eighth inning—Brodie hit to center, but Tebeau fell down before reaching the sphere. Four balls were presented to Brouthers. Kelley bunted a sacrifice, which advanced the runners a base. Radford fum- bled Bonner's grounder, and Brodie tallied. Jennifigs sent a single between short and third, and Brouthers crossed the plate. Robinson batted one down the third base line, on which Bonner scored, Jennings go- ing to third on a decidedly close decision. McMahor was given first on balls, filling the bases. Stocksdale then sent McGraw to the initial bag, forcing Jennings home. Keeler went out on a difficult fly to Sulli- van, and Brodie followed the example. Selbach was hit by the ball, and then Cartwright fouled out to Brouthers. Tebdeau cracked one into far left, but Kelley cap- tured it. The same fielder a moment iater gathered in a hit from Stocksdale’s bat. Ninth inning—By pretty playing on the part of Sullivan and Cartwright Brouthers was retired at first. Then Kelley took two bases on a hit to left Brodie went out to Abbey. Jennings got four balls, and Kelley scored when Radford fumbled Robinson’s grounder and threw over Cartwright’s head. Stocksdale filled the bases by sending Mc- Mahor to first. McGraw made three out; Stocksdale to first. Again luc was with Radford, who bunted safely. Capt. Joyce sacrificed to Bonner, Paul going to second, and to third when Dugdale hit to Brouthers. Four balls were | presented to Abbey. Sullivan cracked a sin- ! gle to left, which scored Paul and landed {Abbey on third. Selbach took first on balls, sion. He sent a very easy bounder to Bon- ner, was thrown out at first, and the Eal- timores had made it four straight, including & whitewash. The score: Y. “4 IN.

Mr. Partridge on Patriotism and Art— Looking to Genius Pro Its Native Land. The lecture hall of Columbian University was filled yesterday afternoon with an au- dience of men and women that represented the best of Washington's culture, and con- tained a large élement of artists, students and others who are interested in art mat- ters. They were present at the invitation of the university to listen to an address on the subject, ““The Patriotic Idea in Art,” de- livered by Mr. William Ordway Partridge, the brilliant American sculptor. They were well repaid, for they heard one of the most interesting and significant lectures deliver- ed in this city in many 4 day. Mr. Partridge recently returned to this city from Chicago, where he was present at the unveiling of the Shakespeare statue, and during the past few days 2 number of his works have been on exhibition at the Cos- mos Club, where they have aroused a great deal of enthusiasm and adm#ration. Partiy as a compiiment to him, but more largely for the sake of what he would say, mosi of eague Were present at the lecture yesterday after- noon. Mr. Partridge showed that he was not only an artisi, us every one knows, but a writer of more than usual merit, for his paper was an alle and scholarly disserta- tion on the sibject in which he is greatly interested. For those who believe in the future of American art and are of the opiaion that sooner or later it will develop on lines of its own and be essentially national, the lecture Was a most comforting one. He took a firm ground in favor of American artisis being thoroughiy American, and he depreeaced the idea of young students going abroad io pur- sue their education before they have de- veloped and matured in point of character and personelity, lest they imbibe so much of French or German ideas that they cease to be Americans without becoming anything else, He expressed the opinion that within the next half century American art will have taken a place of its own and will be second to none. The speaker of the afternoon was intro- duced by President Welling of Columbian University, who made a few general re- marks on the characteristics of art. A high nation will have a high art, just as a low nation will have a low art. Mr. Part- ridge believed in the lifting and tdealizing Power of art, and so it wes that they would all listen with more than usual interest. Art and One's Najive Land. Mr, Partridge began his carefully written address with an extract from Coleridge, which he spoke of as the artistic speaking through the highest form of philosophy. As to the special subject, patriotism in art, he defined patriotism a& the highest condition of men of culture living in harmony with their nation and institutions. He believed that no man could ever become a truly great artist in any but his own land. Young Americans go abroad and study, say in Paris, and for a few years they show a freshness and an enthusiasm that delight their masters, but before long their style deteriorates into a pseudo-French style, one that is neither French nor American. Having spoken thus briefly of the element of patriotism Mr. Partridge defined art it- self, devoting himself more particularly to the subject of sculpture, as the most en- during, though, as he said, whatever was true of sculpture was true of all other man- | ifestations of art. If we are the heirs of cll |. the ages it is right that we should occa- sionally look upon our own possessions. | The rise, highest development and deca- dence of the art of sculpture is contempora- neous'with the same points in the history of its nation. An artist or true student, if shown the head or torso of a statue, ought to be able to tell at once the period and civilization of the people among whom it was made. Realism. Turning back from the sculptor to the work that he creates for us, Mr. Partridge called the attention of his hearers to the fact that its canons are a8 fixed and im- mutable as time itself. The great artist must live in obedience to the most rigid of all laws, but, too, he must be a philoso- pher as well as a poet.. The rules by which We are to judge the wo of artists for all time are very simple after ail, but there is no getting away from the tremendous | greatness of sculpture. We know more of | the characters and lives of the men whose features have been left to us in the plastic art than we do even of Shakespeare living them in the Capitoline Museum. We have the life history cf each and every one Written out asc may be before our very eyes. In the successive busts of Nero, for instance, we can trace out the develop- ment of his character, or rather its decad- | ence, as clearly as if we had the man be- | fore us. And the worst of it all is that the man in whom the change is going on does not realize the change, or he would never leave a reproduction of himself for other ages to gaze upon. Every man ts the sculptor of his own form and face. ‘The Outlook in America. Having treated his subject so generally, the speaker said that the time has come when We should look upon our heritage and say what we will do with it. It is time for us to consider when we shall have a nation- al art that shall be worthy of the nation. In Greece the highest development was reached within a period of fifty years. Re- cently discovered specimens of the rudest sort were executed within a half century of the time of Phidias. So it is not too much to believe that within three score years there will be an American art that will be second to none. If any man wants @ proof of this let him look at the world’s fair at Chicago. The great leaders in art will not come from the artificially educated and forced few, but from the people, for among them is to be ever found power and truth. What is needed here and now is better teaching for the children, for up 10 | Bow there has been too much training and too little education. Mr. Partridge closed his lecture in elo- quent terms with the statement that there are many who enter the field of art who really have no piace there. Unless a man feels the fire of genius within him and knows that he can present to the world the h ales of life ard form as they are, they might as well leave art alone. Who said that America was lacking in the beautiful or the picturesque must have failed to read the history of his own land. The field was inexhaustible, and needed but the artist's eye to seek out its treasures. When artists lose their country they lose their vigor. Ex- patriated art is essentially weak and effem- inate, fhe true artist does his work best unde d) own skies and from his native subjects! Where science ends rule. digestion or dyspepsia.
