Washington’s Team a “Tail Ender” Earlier Than Usual This Year. Heme again! Once more at rest. By per- severence and earnest endeavor Manager Schmeis’s aggregation of ball players con- stituting the Washington representatives in the National League has succeeded in pass- ing Chicago, and now rests peacefully, gracefully and triumphantly, with no one behind them. Truly, it seems like old times. Because of New York's second victory and | Louisville's loss to Chicago the ition | was feached yesterday afternoon. But the | game proved close, interesting and hard fought, and should the club continue such playing, the home cranks will cease growl- tng. Petty pitched against his old cronies and put up a strong game. Westervelt and ‘Wilson officiated as battery for the Giants. Washington scored in the third, fifth and seventh innings, New York tallying in the sixth and seventh only. It is claimed that the loss of the game was ly due to Joyce, who openly criticised hi low play- ers after every misplay; but ct of the matter is t hit safely when hits were needed. Cartwright is cred- ited with a home run, and Abbey received loud applause for a brilliant catch of a difficult fly from Davis’ bat in the second. ‘The score: WASHINGTON. | NEW YORK.

It ought to be possible to secure the services of such men without the payment of unrea- sonable salaries. Nothing will more rapidly advance base ball to its old standing in popular favor than competent umpiring, reinforced by gentlemanly deportment on the part of uniformed players. Nothing will so quickly kill interest in this admira- ble pastime as ‘“competence on the part of the umpire. It is probably true that the average spec- tator at a ball game, in the excitement of a critical period during the play, is Hable to permit his sympathies to sway his judgment of any umpire’s work, how- ever carefully and justly the latter may be performed. The game would not possess its present fascination if there were not something in it which makes of the coolest man an ardent partisan, temporarily, su charging his veins with alternating cur- rents of elation and despair. Neither is it possfble to have in the position of umpire men who can look at every incident of the game from every point of view. The best that can be reasonably expected is umpt ing which shall be honest, fair and impar- tial, with as few errors as possible, yet with sufficient firmness at all times to prevent a disregard of the umpire’s authority and, without needless bluster or passion, to maintain steady discipline. Henry Chadwick, the father of base ball, : “As far as I can judge, the Wash- ington team, under Manager Schmelz, is the strongest in every respect the club has ever placed in the field." Evidently the veteran's opinion has undergone a great change, for he appears in print, this time as follows: “What New York's gain is in the deal by which Washington's crack battery team, Meakin and Farrell, is given to New York AND YOUR IRUNDOWN SYSTEM Strength Renewed Secinammaes 8.8.8, do it.

(Oue Treatise on Blood and Skin dissases mailed free. ‘SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, Atlanta, Ge, Your Y will be @ death blow to Washington's h for getting out of the last ditch in the coming jle of 1804. Evidently the ‘Wagner brothers have only looked to their personal moneyed interests in disposing of the players they released, and not to the interests of their club or the league gen- erally. It is like giving that raw, weak- ened team—badly handicapped before—its death blow, and the general desire ex- pressed by the majority of the league io nates since the completion of the deal New York is that something or other will occur to drive them out of the league arena, for they are evidently not in accord with the policy of true businéss principles which should govern the league as a partnership organization.” To be a successful catcher requires some- thing more than to be able to stop the de- livery of the pitcher and to make accurate throws to bases. You have got to be upon the weakness of the opposing batters, and, above all, @ big stock of what is vulgarly known as “sand in the craw.” At no place in the field is more gameness re- quired than in the catcher’s position. A timid player, with thoughts of being injured or crippled uppermost in his mind, has no ——- in the position. More close plays occur at the plate than anywhere else. To reach the plate means more than reaching any other one of the three points in the circuit. To reach the plate means a@ run, and when a runner starts for that territory he is bent on getting there, if he has to cut down a player or break a leg. There are many catchers who think of this when a play is being made at the plate, and if it is liable to be at all close will give the base runner ‘ges Od leeway. Two of the best catchers in the business, good on backstop- ping and the-best of all throwers, were also the gamest of game men on plays at the plate. Morgan Murphy and Al Bushong are referred to. Murphy, little as he ts, will not make room for any runner, no matter how big he may be. He will cover the plate, and he'll come as near getting a runner out on a throw as any man in the business. He uses judgment in handling throws to that territory. He does not run away from the 5 | plate and gather the ball in, when by so do- | ing he is sure to miss his man, He'll stick | to the plate as long as there is a chance to field the ball. Another place where a catch- er has to be plucky is in going after high flies in close to the stand or the players’ benches. The next time you have a chance watch Morgan Murphy cover the plate and | go after foul files, and then watch some of the others who a afraid of having their precious legs brok: A revolt occurred among the members of the St. Louis team at the Monongahela House, in Pittsburg, recently. President Chris had an idea that more than one mem- ber of his club was not keeping good hours. One night he sat up to wait on the strag- glers. About 8 a.m. in came four young men, attired in light check suits, brown derby hats and patent leathers. They caught sight of their employer and tried to sneak up the stairway. He noticed them about the same time, and going forward said: “Dis business vill cost you each $25,” There was @ grand howl, especially from two os who said they had been visiting friends Allegheny and were not drinking. Von der Ahe wouldn't remit the fines, however. Breitenstein was so mad over the fine that he declined to put on a uniform the next af- ternoon. After a great deal of persuasion he changed his mind, but vo that the fine wi ‘t Bo. One player remarked: ‘Those spring suits cost $85. We will pay for them poon.? Caught on the Fly. The total attendance at the league games during th2 first three weeks of the season of 1894 is unprecedented in base ball history. In the twelve cities of the league circuit seventy-three games were played before a total of 882,879 people, or on an average of 5,245 to a game. The uniforms of the Washingtons are enough to give the spectators the horrors, ba +3 Pittsburg paper. e Pennsylvania ‘papers dub Mike Kelly’s Allentowners “Kelly's Keeley Kure Kandidates."” George Treadway, the left flelder of the Brooklyns, will make an attempt shortly to beat the long distance throwing record. It is said that Gleason is playing for his release from St. Louis and wants to join Pittsburg. This is not a good year for umpires, and yet there never were so many people look- Be for a place on the staffs of the different leagues. Mike Kelly has wired Mark Baldwin of- fering $1,400 and ten per cent share of the receipts to pitch for the Allentown team. A Baltimore writer said the other day: Schmelz had a general case of blues yesterday. It is understood that the Messrs. Wagner recetved about $8,300 for Meekin, Farrell and Hoy, and banked the money. The club is now a weak one, and will be at the tafl end inside of a week. Mr. Schmels of late has been complaining of the umpires. He says: “We have the worst of it right along. While Wash! might not be as strong as Baltimore, ton or New York, we will hold our own soon.” Cleveland and Boston have got into double figures as regards victories, while Wash- ington has the same in defeats. Pittsburg is not fulfilling expectations, and the people in that city are much cast down by the showing made. The attendance at the Boston games away from home is unprecedented in the history wae league, and the triumvits are very py. Sam Thompson leads the | In bat- ting. with “Brownie” Murphy, the old Yale captain, now with New York, a good second. In the west they have players who can coach in several different languages. Tom Tucker is still alone as the classical orator “= es. anager Hanlon, after the opening game in New York, said: “I recetved more for our share of the receipts of this game than I did for all six of the games I yed here last season.” Joe Hornung has not forgotten how to bat, and is lining them out in great style in the Worcester ~ames. His fielding also is excellent. Nothing is heard nowadays of “Shorty” Fuller, the fine little shortstop of the New York team. ‘Yale’ Murphy has done so well that Fuller has no chance to play. The Brooklyn team is to have a shake-up. Foutz is laid up with rheumatism, and the rest of the crowd are playing off. Griffin is now captain of the team. President Byrne says the club is unable to bat. He is likely to release Tom Burns and place Shoch in the field. Stewart of the Sioux Citys is looked upon as the greatest and most promising second baseman in the minors. If he keeps up the lek he has started off this spring he will be in the big league next season sure. With one or two exceptions every man on the Chicago team, outside the batteries, had a batting average last season of over 300 per cent. Old Anson and his Colts will yet be heard from. The Bostons are gtumbling over their small salaries. Nicho! recetve $2,400 each. Nash gets $600 extra for captaining the team. Long, Lowe and Tucker are paid about $2,200 each, and the other men draw all the way down to $1,200. The New York Herald states that Philadelphia lately descended the the Washington monument Wi in seven minutes, and ad ty good time, but it can't begin to touch the record which Mr. Von der Ahe’s team will make in its descent from the league pinnacle.” It is not generally known that 10 per cent of the gross gate receipts of every league game goes into the league treasury at Washington. Twelve thousand five hundred dollars wilt be held by Treasurer N. E. Young as a general sinking fund. The re- mainder will be divided equally among the twelve clubs at the end of the season. Thus do the cities whose clubs draw well help out the cities less favored. anager Selee of the Bostons is working Nichols, Stivetts, Staley and Lovett in rota- tion, but when the final rush comes he in- tends using the two most effective pitchers, each going in every other day. The Cincinnat! Enquirer suggests a ball team rade up of kickers and names the fol- lowing players: Catcher, “Kid Miller; pitcher, Gus Weyhing: bases, Tom Tucker, Jack Crooks, Patsy Tebeau: shortstop, Jack Glasscock, and field, Bug Holliday, Deacon Brodie and Tommy Burns. How would you like to see that team getting the worst of O’Rourke’s umpiring, with the score against them? It pays to be champions. The Bostons played to 67,000 people in the first seven championship games this season, as fol- lows: To 27,000 in Brooklyn in two games, 22,000 in Baltimore in three gimes and 20,000 in Philadelphia in two games. At this rate it will not be long until the triumvirates will have all their salaries paid for the season. “Ten-Thousand-Dollar” “working batters’ than some of the alleged stars ever knew. Clarkson, when in condition, is to other pitchers what Edwin Booth If Anson doesn’t hurry up he will be bankrupt this fall. He has bets ranging all the way from $500 to $5 that his Colts will beat out half @ dozen different teams. MUST FALL OR BE MOVED. Davy Burns’ Cottage Obstructs the Cc. A. C. Ball Field. Tt has been decided either to move or to tear down the Dayy Burns house in Van Noss Park, recently secured by the Colum- bia Athletic Club as an athletic field. This is contrary to the wishes of some of the club members and many outsiders, who would like to see the old ruin preserved. But the house stands so as to be an obstruc- tion to the athletic field, and particularly to the base ball grounds, and considerable pressure has been brought to have it taken away. So the attempt will be made to move it. This, however, can hardly be accom- plished in the present condition of the house, The tennis courts of the club have been opened to the use of the members and have been in constant use all this week. The entertainment committee of the Co- lumbia Athletic Club, of which Mr. C. W. Schneider is the chairman, has not yet decided on any definite series of entertain- ments for the summer months. A number of good things have been spoken of, how- ever, and the affairs will probably consist in the main of light entertainment at the new athletic grounds and the outdoor en- Joyments of summer.

Music hath charms to soothe and it also entertained a large audience of Washing- ton’s representative colored people last evening at the First Congregational Church, corner of 10th and G streets northwest. The occasion was the first anniversary of the musical department of Howard University. On the platform were seated Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D., LL. D., president of the university, and Maj. George H. Harries. Directly to their rear in the choir seats were several scores of intelligent-looking ‘oung colored women and men. Prof. Otis B Swett presided at the organ and Miss Mary M. Cook, the department's instruc- tress on the piano and organ, accompanied the various numbers of the program artisti- cally. Prof. Swett opened the exercises with Read's Opus 64, in B flat, which was follow- ed by “The Dome of Alma Mater,” rendered by Mr. B. 8. Ryland, assisted by the male element of the choir, which is styled the President's Glee Club. Applause greeted Miss M. B. Quander’s recitative and air, “Why Art Thou Silent, Bethlehem?” Then Mr. A. T. Clark delivered an original and Gecidedly bright oration on church unity. He stated that church unity is at present &@ subject of. wide discussion, and hoped that the efforts put forth to attain that end may be divinely blessed with success, concluding by saying that the Great Head of the church knows the needs of His bride better than we, and therefore we should seek to know His will. “Let us continue to y,"" said Mr. Clark, “and to work to make His kingdom in the world what He would have it to be. In this way only can we move along the lines of duty, joy, tri- umph, glory.” Prof. Wm. J. Stephens, principal, teacher of vocal music and director, followed with Cowen's “Children’s Home,” rendered in a masterly manner. “Hark, the Merry Drum,” by the glee club, with Miss Lucy Turner as solo! Mrs. EB. W. Guillam’: ballad, “Answer;” “Ah, This Sweet Lif by the Ladies’ Choir, a duet, “Love and Pride,” by Miss Turner and Mr, Harris, and Mr. Wm. H. Jackson's “Amfalulu Tree,” were each excellently rendered and well received. Mr. G. A. Jones displayed genuine dramatic ability in his delivery of the recitation, ‘“‘Rum’s Maniac.” At this point President Rankin announced that on Monday last a written and oral examination of the pupils had been held in order to ascertain their musical ability and by that means establish certain grades or He introduced Maj. George H. Harries of The Evening Star, who had kindly conducted the examination and who would announce the result. After a few complimentary and appro- priate remarks, Maj. Harries said that out of sixty-seven persons examined forty-four had reached the minimum of 75 per cent, seven of the number having attained the perfect mark. The list was as follows: = son, 100; Miss Nellie Lelia McMichen, 90; A. T. Clark, 90; Mias Lucy a Turner, 90; Miss Lavinia Morris, 90; George W.

Har- ries stated, a prize competition in reading music at sight had taken place between twelve competitors. With ten as the highest possible mark, the seven leading singers attained rank as given below: Miss Reed, 10; George H. Harris, 9; J. 8. Carroll, 9; G. G. Turner, 9; Miss Morris, 9; Miss Tur- ner, 8, and Mrs. Gillam, 8. ‘The speaker, in conclusion, praised Prof. Stephens for his efforts and prophesied a brilliant future for the musical department of the university. President Rankin also paid a tribute to Prof. Stephens, and then Rev. Dr. Domer of St. Paul's English Lu- theran Church, from the body of the house, a and said that he was very glad to be ent and asked that the Divine Master Recwith the university and grant It greater success in the future. Everybody then stood up and sang “Hail, Alma Mater, and Farewell,” to the tune of the well-known “Soldier's Farewell,” the words by Dr. Ran- kin. The first verse was: “Kind mother, glory-seated, Our tasks, at length, completed, Amid the tears fast starting, One song to thee at parting; A moment's pause, thy charms to tell: Hail, Alma Mater, and farewell.” Prof. Swett played Baptiste’s march in E flat, the audience slowly dispersed, and the ighly successful first anniversary exercises of the musical department of Howard Uni- versity were at an end. ————— No Show. ist From Puck.

THE GREAT RACE ——— Horses That Will Start in the Brooklyn Handicap. WINNERS ARE ALWAYS SURPRISES Those That Stand a Chance of Coming in First. AN INTERESTING TABLE The eastern racing season of 1804 will be formally inaugurated Tuesday next, when the Brooklyn Jockey Club will throw open the gates of its Gravesend course. Following its invariable practice, the club will that day place on its card the Brook- lyn Handicap, one of the two great annual handicap races in this country. Other valuable stakes will be run for there that day, but the handicap event will, of course, form the great attraction of the opening day. It is one of the richest of American stakes, the club guaranteeing that it shall be worth not less than $25,000, of which $5,000 goes to the second horse, and $2,000 to the third. Therefore, the winner of next Tuesday's race will make his owner just $18,000 better off in this world’s goods. A Race of Surprises. The race was established in 1887, and it will be run next week for the eighth time. Its distance, one and a quarter miles, has never been changed, although the value of the stake has been annually increased. That game, true little horse, Dry Monopole, was its first winner, and the time he ran it in, 2.07, has never been equaled. Exile, however, came within half a second of it in 1889. The slowest time in which the race was run was that of The Bard, when he won in 1888, running the one and a quarter miles in 2.13. Upon the whole, the Brook- lyn Handicap has been a race of surprises, that given tl talent by Castaway II in 1890, when won by eight lengths in 2.10, being, perhaps, the greatest. The previous winners of the Brooklyn Handicap and the time made by them are: 1887—Dry Monopole, by a head. 23 1888—The Bard, by one length. 2. 1889—Exile, by ae eye . hs. 1890—Castaway lI, by 8 lengths. 1891—Tenny, by two lengths. 1892—Judge Morrow, by a head. x 1893—Diablo, by a length... 2S D* blo’s victory last year was also a mat- tr of no little surprise. It was a matter of ny less general satisfaction. Pierre Loril- lard’s Lamplighter, carrying 125 pounds, with Simms up, was early installed as fa- vorite, but he proved to be a great disap- iq | PAntment to the knowing ones, as Well as to the general racing public. The best he could do was to get within a length of the winner at the finish, Bookmaker Jones’ game little colt, Leonawell, carrying 110 pounds, running third. Diablo carried 112 pounds, and was ridden by Fred Taral. The time of the race was: Quarter, .25 1-4; half, -51; three-quarters, 1.16; mile, 1.42 1-: mile and a quarter, 209. Diablo's vi tory was anything but a pouplar one, and when his number was hoisted the an- nouncement was received in sullen silence. There was considerable intentional or unin- tentional foul riding done in the race, and | it was claimed by many, especially by those riding the favorite, that there existed a well-laid plan to defeat Lamplighter at all hazards. An investigation was demanded, but nothing ever came of it, and Diablo's owners pocketed the money. A great amount of money had been placed on Lamplighter, and hundreds of thousands of dollars went down with the great brown son of Spendthrift and Torchlight. The Race This Year. The race this year promises to be the greatest in the history of the event. Many of those running in it last year are again entered, and not a few facing the starter a year ago will do so again next Tuesday. Although again entered, and given the honor of top weight, 127 pounds, Lamp- Ughter will hardly start Tuesday. The probable starters and jockeys, as far as can now be ascertained, are Clifford, 122.... Sir Walter, 120. Ajax, 118... Banquet, 118. Copyright, 118. Don Alonzo, 118. Sport, 117.. Diablo, 114 Bassetlaw, 112. Dr. Rice, 112. | Comanche, 110 | Lowlander, 110 Pickpocket, 11 Loantaka, 11 Leonawell, 108. Blitzen, 106. Terrifier, 105. Henry of Navarre, 100. Herald, Hermitage weighted at 100 pounds, may also start, but as they seemingly have but little chance, and as it costs $250 for the privilege of fac- ing the starter, it is not likely that more than those named above will meet at the starting post. Clifford, the western crack, it will be seen, now carries the top weight, while Byron McClelland’s three-year-old son of Knight of Ellerslie and Moss Rose, Hen- Ty of Navarre, is at the other end of the line, being called upon to bear 100 pounds. Many there are, however, who believe that when the finish is reached the two horses will be right together. The Favorite Today. Today Clifford reigns as favorite, 3 to 1 being the odds quoted against him. Better odds, however, should prevail in his case, , indeed, they should in the case of about all the other probable starters, for the race is an excesdingly open one even now. Clif- ford, while undoubtedly a great horse, is somewhat handicapped by having Martin up. On the other hand, Ajax not only has four pounds less to carry, but, in having “Snapper” Garrison to pilot him, will have the services of undoubtedly the greatest jockey in the country today. Another horse which has the benefit of a it jockey to | ride him is Dr. Rice. Fred. Taral will have the mount on him, and those who back the horse will know that all in him will be got- The horse, Don Alonzo, with Willle Simms, the colored \ Jockey, up, 1s still another probable starter who will receive the assistance of a fine rider, as will Sir Walter, with Sam Doggett in the saddle. The Washington stable’s rep- resentative, Sport, if he runs kindly, will be a dangerous horse. On paper it appears that the winner should turn up in one of | these horses—that is, It now seems that from Ajax, Clifford, Dr. Rice, Don Alonzo, Sir Walter, Sport and Henry of Navarre the winner should spring. But time, condition \d the state of the weather and track up- set the best of calculations based on form, and the man who picks the winner of the race will be entitled to his money. An Interesting Table. The following table, based on the per- | formances of the frobable starters last | year, will be found to be of considerable value and interest to those intending a massacre of the gulleless “bookies” (the weights given in the table being those car- ried when the respective horses made their best time at the handicap distance): a Horse. & First.

KENSINGTON'S PREACHER The Pastor of the Warner Memorial Ohurch to Be Installed Tuesday, ‘Washington Ministers te Take Part in the Exercises—Rev. James T. Mar- shall and His Kew Charge. Tuesday, the 15th instant, will always be memorable in the history of the Pres- byterian Church at Kensington. Organ- ized in @ school house in 1890, by the earn- est efforts of a few devoted women, the work quickened, and recently 200 worshtp- ers witnessed the edifice erected for their use, one of the most beautiful churches in Maryland, dedicated to the service of God. This church was built by B. H. Warner, @ memorial to his father. It is a hand- some structure, convenient, elegant and simple in all its appointments. After it was finished and dedicated, Mr. Warner gave a deed of the property, by which he conveyed the title in fee simple to the trustees and their successors in office. It is therefore a free gift to the Kensington people. The feature of Tuesday's event is the installation of the Rev. James T. Marshall, who has just been called to the pastorate of the church. Mr. Marshall was born at Salone, Mich., and is twenty- eight years old. He belongs to a family Rev. James T. Marshall. of preachers. His father was the pastor of the Chichester Memorial Church at Boothwyn, Pa. and his brother, Thomas C. Marshall, is pastor of the First Church of Lake Crystal, Minn. James T. Mar- shall yf at Lafayette College in 1885. He spent one year in the Western Theological Seminary at Allegheny City and two years at Princeton, where he grad- uated in 1888. In the fall of that year he sailed for Scotland, taking his post-graduate studies in the Free Church College and the U. P. of Edinburgh. From there he went to London, England, where he could have the opportunity of listening to and studying as models such preachers as Canon Farrar, Newman Hall, Joseph Par- ker and Charles H. Spurgeon. After leav- ing London he traveled for a time in Great Britain and on the continent. He returned to America and was immediately called to the pastorate of the Brandywine Pres- byterian Church, in the state of Delaware, where he remained until chosen to take charge of the church at Kensington. Mr. Marshall is a strong, vigorous, earnest man, with great capacity for labor. As a ser- monizer he has taken high rank. He makes no attempt at oratory, and is at all times clear, original, direct and convincing. The people of that community regard themselves as very fortunate in securing his services. ‘The Warner Memorial Church is well or- ganized for effective work. During the past year there has been a steady increase in church support and membership. The board of elders are William M. Terrell and Thos. R. Martin. The deacons are J. Howard’ Fishback and H. M. Martin. The trustees are Gov. Alphonso Hart, president of the board, and his associates, B. H. Warner, Cc. C. McKane, Marion Dorian, A. H. Kin- near and William M. Terrell. Many of the leading ministers of Washington will tend the installation ceremonies. Dr. Bit tinger of the Westminster Church will pre- side and propound constitutional questions. Rev. Joseph T. Kelly of the Fourth Pres- byterian Church will preach the sermon, and Rev. John L. French will deliver the charge to the pastor. The Rev. Dr. Thom: Chalmers Easton will — the charge to the people. Rev. H. Wilbur Ennis of the Western Church offers installation prayer, and the Rev. Charles Alvin Smith, one of Washington’s well-known ministers, will take part. ; nr A Diplomat. From Truth.
