Uncle Anson Finally Scored the Win- ning Ran. “Oh, what a puddin’,” was the rather in- elegant remark uttered by a spectator on the bleachers at National Park yesterday afternoon as Capt. Adrian C. Anson stepped to the plate in the Chicago's half of the twelfth inning. Up to that point “your uncle” had failed to distinguish himself with the stick, but he was equal to the oc- casion, and rapped a pretty single to left, and soon after crossed the plate with the winning run. The game was a decidedly unique one. The Colts appeared most ungainly, attired in white stockings and uniforms that are in color a cross between steel blue and helio- trope. They had beaten the champion Bos- tons the day before, and took the field de- termined to outpace the Senators. A young man named Hutchinson essayed to twirl for the visitors, and in the first inning Wash- ington failed to score, but in the second they began to treat Mr. Hutchinson real rudely, tallying twice, and in the third in- ning scoring five more runs. In the midst of the onslaught Anson asked for mercy long enough to allow the substitution of McGill. Three more runs were added to the record of the locals in the fourth and an- other in the sixth. Owing to the sudden illness of Maul, who Was booked to pitch for Washington, Man- ager Schmelz concluded to give Mr. Michael Sullivan of Boston, Mass., a trial. The lat- ter, wearing a ridiculous red cap, walked confidently to his position, but evidently did not know the location of the plate. Principally because of the ineffectiveness of Sullivan Chicago tallied twice in the first and three times in the second, and then Petty relieved him. Those uniforms of baby blue and white probably possess certain aids to batting, for Chicago continued hit- ting the ball as though no change had been made, and after sending men around twice in the third, once in the fourth and three times in the fifth, Mercer went in and broke up the hoodoo, but one hit being made off him until the twelfth inning. After two men were out in the twelfth, with Anson on first, Parrott sent a gentle, | bounding ball right toward Radford, who had been playing the game as well as any short stop in the business. In trying to head off Anson running down from first, he let the ball yet away, and two men were on bases. Catcher Schriver promptly drove @ single over second, Anson scored and the spectators departed.

Cartwright could have made another base on the fly muffed by Wilmot had he kept on more | speed. Hasamaear’s throws to first were costly. No one could send the ball outside | the infield, with three on bases and no one | cut. The responsibility for losing the game | doesn’t belong to any one player. | Had Cartwright run ail he knows how, he | could easily have rested on third base. Then Mercer's nice bunt would have brought him home. The spectators do not like to see a man let up in his running until he is out, and a player has no business to do so. Abbey and Selbach set a good example in this respect to the other men on the team. Manager Barnie of the Louisvilles saw | part of the game. He is after batting ma- | terial. Weakness at the bat is the fault of | the Colonels, he says. Those who had watched Sullivan's work with Cincinnati last year were not surprised | at his wildness. It’s the fault for which he Is notorious. More complimentary tickets for ladies’ days are being printed. There was never such interest in the homes of the city in the local club, and it is iargely due to the institution of ladies’ day. Gamen Elsewhere. Pittsburg had no difficulty whatever in taking the game from the Giants. Killen’s pitching was only fairly good, but he re- ceived magnificent support. Clark and Wil- son, Killen and Mack were the batteries. “RELE. .020001010—41011 Pittsburg . 0401103101013 3!

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS , ‘ac Lively Game of Base Ball With the Rockville Team. : The Victorious Fire Company Returns With ti 100 Prise—Many Other Notes of Interest. 2 The commencement exercises of St. John's Academy were held at the college building this morning. This afternoon a competi- tive drill for a gold medal will be held, and @ close contest is expected. The Mount Vernon regents, having fin- ished their business, have adjourned. Mr. Samuel G. Brent, corporation attor- ney, will deliver the coronation address at the tournament which will be held at Mar- shall Hail in August in conenction with the 8xcursion of the Virginia Democratic As- sociation. In a game of base ball at Riverside Park yesterday afternoon the Old Dominions of this city won from the Rockville Ath- letics by two scores, one of 8 te 6 and the final seore of 9 to 0. The game was close and exciting up to the ninth inning, and at that stage of the game the score stood 8 to 6 in favor of the Alexandria boys. In the ninth inning Pitcher Ed O’Brien had put two,men out, and got in some excellent work, pitching good balls and very clearly striking out the third man, though the um- pire would not have it so. The result of this decision was two runs for the Rockville team. In the last half of the ninth Catcher Beach knocked a three-bagger, but as he passed the first baseman he held him, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he reached second base. The umpire, Mr. Wenzel, decided that the runner should have his home run allowed him. Notwith- standing the fact that every close decision had been given to the Rockville boys they kicked and refused to play further. The game was then awarded to the Old Domin- ions by this technicality on @ score of 9 to 0, though they would have won anyhow on their 8 to 6 score. James Viers of Rockville umpired on the part of the Rockvilles and Frank’ Wenzel on the part of the Alexan- drians. The Alexandria boys are confident that'were the same teams pitted against each other again on neutral ground, with a fair/umpire, they could win in a walk, and Manager Frank McClearen of the Old Do- minions authorizes the statement that they will play at any time and any place and for any purse posted, provided the same teams play or the Rockville bbys reinforce by their jocal talept. Notwithstanding the untimely ending of’ the game the Virginia boys did not forget the old-time hospitality and handsomely entertained the visitors at the Opera House Restaurant. Amidst u blaze of glory the Columbia Fire Company returned from Hagerstown, Md., last night, where they went on Tues- day to attend the firemen’s convention and enter the steam-making and water-throw- ing contests, and, as was the case last year at Frederick, came home with the first prize of $100 in gold. When it became |known that the Columbia engine was in Hagerstown and would enter the contest the betting went up to odds of 7 to 1 in favor of the Columbia, and all the engines except one, the Sarah Jane of Winchester, though fourteen had entered the contest, withdrew on account of the record of the Columbia boys. The Columbia cngine made steam from cold water, pumped from a stream only a few feet deep, four feet be- |low the platform, and threw ter & dis- tance of 170 feet in seven minutes an? | forty-five seconds, which beat the record they made at Frederick last June. The Columbia engine was purchased by the city and brought here in i872, and has not been out of service for six months in the twenty-two years that have intervened. | She was, purchased from the city of Phila- phia, and was there known as “old No. * and had been im service in the latter city for several years. Among the engines jat Hagerstown were several of a modern make, and none of which were over ten | years old. The members of the Alexandria fire cémpanies demonstrate at every turn that‘they- have rightly and justly earned j the name of the best volunteer department in the state of Virginia, and they show it tom. every) occasion. Mr, Brooke E. Corbett, son of Mr. F. E. Corbett, the well-known cigar manufacturer of this city, who, it will be remembered, attempted to set fire to his father’s house in Washington several weeks ago, and was adjudged insane and sent to St. Elizabeth's Asylum, attempted to commit suicide in this city yesterday afternoon. He was res- cued, however, by a colored maa in a boat and resuscitated. He was taken to Staun- ton last night, where he will be placed in the Western State Hospital. A number of heavy weights of this city ‘will go to River View on next Monday with the Jolly-Fat Men," and will enter some of the contests to be held on that occavion. Mrs. L. Whilbeck die@ at heér Tesidence on t '|Nerth, Patrick street last night, after a iii short illness. She will be buried this even- ing at 6 o'clock. Rev. Thoron H. Rice of the Second Presbyterian Church will con- uct the services. A horse attached to a wagon belonging to Mr. Chas. Zimmerman ran away yes- terday afternoon and smashed the vehicle all to pieces. No one was hurt. Rev. P. P. Phillips, the new rector of St. Paul's Church, has been elected secretary of the standing committee of the diocese of Virginia, vice Rev. Henderson Suter, resigned. While ex-Mayor E. E. Downham was coming back from the Driving Park yes- terday afternoon, the horse that he was PAYNE. became frightened and ran away, ‘rowing him to the ground. Mr. Down- ham was knocked senseless, and very much cut and bruised by the fall. He was picked up and carried to his home, near by, where Dr. Bedford Brown rendered the necessary medical assistance. The closing exercises of St. Mary’s Acad- emy took place this morning. The closing exercises at Arlington Institute took place yesterday afternoon, There were no prisoners in the mayor's court for trial this morning. —_—_——_ National President McBride says the miners will accept situations and go to work in a reasonable time. “T cannot, ‘speak too highly of Dr. Keuned; Favorite temedy, for I suffered from stone in bladder and. hemorrhage of the kidneys, avd it completely cured both there discases. 4.

Two sensational incident« marked the commencement exercises of the University of Nebraska, at Lincoln, on Wednesday. The first was the marked socialistic address delivered by Prof. George Herror of Iowa Ccliege, Grinnell, and the second came tn the unexpected reply of (sov. Crounse. After the preliminary exercises Prof. Her- Tor. was introduced, and gave as his sub- ject, “A New Political View.” He said: “The aim of lw ts the educa- tion of men in those questions which unite them in the right. At no time since the ege of the Roman siate bas law received 80 much attention as today. Yet all know there is no justice in the courts. If there is anarchy everywhere it has had its origin in the courts. God sent this American nation to be an example to the other nations of the earth, We have failed. We have for- en our trust. We are @ fallen nation. Except the nation repent it cannot survive. We must prepare the way for the Chris- tian state and for the kingship of God.” Gov. Crounse improved the opportunity offered him in presenting commissions to the university cadets to make a bitter re- ply. He denounced the sentiment as inap- propriate, misleading and uncaiied for. iie closed as follows: “I take @ more cheerful view of things than the gentleman who has addressed you, and feel called upon to repudiate what he has said as unwarranted in fact and dam- aging and discouraging to the youth just entering upon the battle of life. I do not believe that this country is wholly bad and tottering on the verge of destruction. I di not agree with him that our courts are bad; | that they are cesspool e founts of anarchy. Neither do I believe cae Coxey and his followers are the high- est types of American citizenship. I believe our institutions are the grandest and the system of goverment the best known or devised.” ———__+0+- —_ FIFTY WERE DROWNED. Capsising of a Boat Holding Many Irish Harvesters. A dispatch from Westport Quay, Ireland, says that @ passenger boat was returning tw Westport Quay from Achil Island, hav. ing on board many harvesters, when the boat capsized. It is believed that fifty of the harvesters were drowned. All the victims were young people and were of both sexes. They were inhabitants of Achil Island, and depended for a liveli- hood upon the scanty earnings they could make in England and Scotland, to which countries they were accustomed to migrate each year. There are few available boats at the island, and the one which was cap- sized yesterday was much overcrowded, the people in their haste to catch the Glasg boat from Westport having little regard for their safety. One hundred and ten persons were on the vessel when she went down. Most of the victims were kept under water by the sails, | which were fully set when the vessel went wn. As soon as the aceident happened boats from the steamer Elm, lying near, put out to the rescue and seventy-five of the har- vesters were taken eut of the water. Some of them were unconscious, but revived after restoratives had been administered. It is believed that. the bodies of the few persons missing will be found in the hold of the ill- fated vessel. A local committee has been formed to raise a fund for the burial of the victims and the assistance of their relatives. —-e-0———___ The Light Infantry at Marshall Hall. The Washington Light Infantry gave its annual complimentary excursion to Mar- shail Hall Tuesday evening and twelve hun- dred of the friends of the organization were enrolied as its guests upon this occasion. The evening on the river was never more delightful and the Macalester carried a happy and jolly crowd. At Marshall Hall the pavilion was thronged with danc- ers, while the numerous other attractions of the popular resort had their full quota of seekers after fun and pleasure, Home was reached at 11:30 p.m. The verdict was usanimous that the Infantry’s excursion for 1804 was the most successful event of the kind in its histery. ——— Leave of Absence.
