Maul Forced to Leave the Game— Sullivan in the Box. A fair-sized crowd saw the Beaneaters defeat the local ball club yesterday after- noon in @ game characterized by free hit- ting of the ball, players and the umpire. Maul was hit while at the bat in the third inning on the left arm, and so badly hurt that he was compelled to retire, Sullivan taking his place. Sullivan pitched a very fair game, and by his batting further dem- onstrated that the Washington club pos- sess the heaviest hitting pitchers in the league. In the sixth inning Bannon was struck in the left temple by one of Sulll- van's swift inshoots, was put out for the rest of the inning. He took his place in the field for an inning, but was forced to retire then in favor of Gansel. In the fighth inning Emslie was struck on the left arm by a ball pitched by Sullivan, and badly hurt, although he continued in the game. The great majority of the crowd be- feved that the ball was-a foul, but Emslie declared it a third strike, and as it passed McGuire, a run came in and the batsman Went to first. Umpire Emslie had many close decisions to make, and home team got the worst The success of the visit. was due more to their bat- ting and the errors of the hom ras ae to the umpire. The home clul ured & run in the first, second gnd third i innings, and three in the fourth, Fehille the visitors scored ‘three in the first and two in the fourth. Neither side scored in the fifth, but in the sixth the Bos- ton men by three hits, Hasamaear’s bad throw, and Nichols’ receiving the. ball on his anatomy,, pulled in three runs. They also secured a run in the seventh and eighth innings. The seventh run of the local men was made in the eighth by Cart. pena Ey single and Radford’s three-bag- ger. WASHINGTON. AE. HO.

Many Stay Away From the Games and Give Their Reason. ‘A letter, approved by twenty-two base ball patrons in one division in the pension bureau, has been sent to the manager of the Washington Base Ball Club: The writer says, referring to decreased attendance at the ball game: I made two reso- lutions at the opening of the season: First, I would only pay 2 cents admission; second, I would stop going when it got too hot to comfortably see the game from a 25-cent seat. Therefore, I did not go yesterday. I have talked with a score or more patrons of the game, and find that they are influenced by the same considera- tions. The dropping off of patronage in not Weather proves that there are thousands of uthers so influenced. “Now, if you think it 1s profitable to leave the 25-cent seats uncovered, all right. I am sure from 1,000 to 2,000 more people would attend the game every hot if they were covered. That would be from $250 to $500 a day. How long would it take that rate to pay for a roof? ‘Washington is a good ball town, and, if the management will maintain an average club and provide comfortable seats for 2 cents for us common people, I believe you will find it pay ——— Louisville ‘Signs Hodson.

Manager Irwin of the Philliés has ac- cepted the terms of Cross, the shortstop of the Detroits, who some years ago played with Baltimore. He has also engaged Lu- kens, who pitched for Pittsburg early in the season. The latter will report today. Cross, the new player, is a brother of Lave Cross, the Phillies’ catcher. Why Lo ville Won. After three men had been put out in the first inning at Cincinnati yesterday Umpire O’Rourke refused to allow the final out on the ground that Richardson, who was in position in the box, was not ready to bat. The two Louisville playera who were first and third at the time, uraware of this, at- tempted a double steal, Pfeffer going to sec- ohd and Brown coming home. Pfeffer was canght, but O'Rourke refused to allow the play to count. Yale Defeats Harvard. With Murphy on second base in the first inning Case of Yale, in the game at Cam- bridge yesterday, put the ball down into deep center for a home run. This gave Yale two rung, and they secured two more in the third on errors by Highlands, Wiggin and Winslow, Stephenson got in a three-bagger in the sixth and went home on a long fly to Score: Wiggin. Jands and Scannel, Base Ball Notes. A Pittsburg dispatch says that Baltimore has finally consented to the transfer of next week's Washington games to that city. The local team was guilty of very bad base-running yesterday. Cartwright should have had another base on the fly missed by Bannon, and Radford would have scored had he not made a very poor attempt to steal second with Sullivan at the bat. In Sullivan the local team has evidently secured a prize. He has great speed, a fine and is a good hitter. His only weakness {s his wildmess.

The race was worth $11,000 to the winner, and these twelve horses, with jockeys and weights given, were the starters: Ramapo, 120 (Taral); Banquet, 119 (Simms); Sport, 314 (Thompson); Sir Walter, 120 (Doggett); Don Alonzo, 421 1-2 (Lamley); Crarade, 111 (Blake); Comanche, 112 (Martin); Pick- pocxet, 110 (Bergen); King Lee, 110 (Thorpe); Herity of Navarre, lus (Perkins); Kinglet, 105 (Griffin); St. Michael.

When the trumpet sounded the horses came out and made the usual parade, with | Henry of Navarre leading, followed by Sport, Kinglet, Comanche, Banquet, Rama- po, Charade, King Lee, Don Alonzo, St. Michael and Pickpocket bringing up the rear and kicking and plunging.

Sport was besirning to show some life and was up in the eighth place, Tunning strongly, and very much in the contest. Pickpucket was still third, but by only a head over Henry of Navarre. Then came the turn into the stretch and “look at Sport’ was the cry, for Thompson took him around next the rail and he was cutting down the others in a most remark- able fashion. Teral heard the thunder of the the stretch like a thunderbolt. Pickpocket had dropped back. Taral was riding for dear life, with Ban- quet still a long distance in front, but he was gaining a few inches with every jump, while Sport was hanging on ultogether too well to suit either Simms or Taral. The three ran cl together until the last fifty yards, when the persistent spurring and flogging | of Taral dually drove Ramapo a length in front, iquet second, two lengths in front ‘of Sport. King Lee got fourth by four lengths from Henry of Navarre. Pick- pocket was sixth, Sir Walter seventh, and the rest trailing behind, some of them pull- ed up. Saladia Defeats Mascot.

Annual Reunion of the Society at Concord, N. H. The twenty-fifth annual reunion of the Soctety of the Army of the Potomac began at Concord, N. H., yesterday morning. The city, in honor of. the occasion, was deco- rated in an elaborate and -beautiful. man- ner, the state capitol, soldiers’ memorial arch, city hall, and practically all the busi- ness blocks and private residences being crnamented with portraits of army officers, Pictures of war scenes, banners, flags, and bunting. All the larger factories and busi- ness establishments were closed, the em- ployes being granted a holiday. The weather was delightful, and in conse- uence there was a large number of vis- tors from surrounding towns. Particu- larly conspicuous in the crowds were the wearers of the Grand Army and yal Legion buttons, and there were more veter- ans present than have been in Concord since the war, and hever have there been so many | Sees army officers in the state be- fore. Everything was bustle at the headquar- ters of the various committe n early hour, in completion of final appear | work. For two hours there was Hotel, where . Miles and other olficers are quartered. At 10:30 the “assembly” took the first for- al step in the reunion exercises at the | fathered in Dor- where the New mpshire battle flags are deposited, and exchanged frater- nal greetings, some of them for the first time since the colors under which they fought were turned over to the state. Then followed a reception by Gov. Smith in the executive chamber, all the members of the society being presented to him. At 11 o'clock the first brigade, N. H. } G., accompanied by battalions of high school cadets from Concord, Manchester and Nashua, paraded in honor of the society and paid Gen. Miles a marching salute. Gen. Miles, accompanied by members of | his staff, officers of the society, Gen. John R. Brooke, U. S. A., and other prominent | members of the society, and Mayor Cogs- | well, occupied the reviewing stand in front of the memorial arch ai the Main street | entrance to Capitol Park. The remaining | members of the society occupied the re-| served space near the reviewing stand. A short street parade followed, after whic! the brigade returned to camp. Corps mee! ings were next in order, and then the an- nual meeting and reunion of the society opened in Representatives’ Hall at- 2:30 o'clock. Meeting of the Society. The meeting was called to order by the president, Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles. The report of the secretary was accepted and placed on file. The report of the treasurer showed a balance of $1,607 on hand, and it was referred to an auditing committee of two. Invitations were received from Fred- edericksburg, Va., and New London, Conn., and Leavenworth, Kan., to hold the next annual meeting of the society there. New | London, Conn., received a large majority of the votes, and was declared the choice eh the society for the next annual meet- n, Resolutions on the death of Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum were adopted. Several corps reported the following can- idates for president: Second, third, fifth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth, Gen,’ Alex: | ander Stewart Webb; sixth, Gen. John Gib- | bon; ninth, Gen. S. G. Griffin, cavalry, Gen. David M.’McGregg. A ballot resulted as | follows: Whole number, 118; necessary for | choice, 60. Gen. R.A. Alger, 2: Gen. David M. McGre Gen.

Speeches were made by Gen. Miles, Gov. Smith and Mayor Cogswell, after which Col. George W.Baird, U.S. A., recited in a very effective manner an original poem, “The Army of the Poto- mac." Gen. Beaver, ex-governor of Pennsyivanta, then delivered an oration. Gen. Beaver alluded to the unfortunate continuance of sectional feeling In some measure in the south, as evidenced by_re- marks like those recent! made by Gen, Rosser and Rev. Mr. Cave, and contrasted with this the far better and more patriotic | feeling of the new south, as illustrated in the recent lectures and address by Gen. Gordon, Secretary Smith and others. Con- tinuing, Gen. Beaver said: “Surely the nation that was worth dying | for and worth the right of dying fof is | worth living for. The cause for which we shed our blood is surely one for which we ought to shed our prejudices. We dare not measure the discharge of our duty or the | manner in which we bear our responsibili- ties by others. The great leader of our | armies, the confessed in of our age, meant just what he said when he gave ex- pression to the thought that was uppermost | in his heart: “Let us have peace.” This | society upon the occasion of the twenty- | fifth anniversary of one of the great battles | of the war, upon the very scene of the con- flict itself, emphasized its desire for the ob- | iteration of all sectional feeling and for | the cordial co-operation of the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray in developing and strengthening the bonds which bind us together as citizens of a common country, and in carrying to its complete and final fruition this latest experi- ment of free government which is freighted, so far as the mortal eye can see, with the highest hopes and the loftiest aspirations of the race.” Addresses followed by Gens. John G. Parke, John Gibbon, Lucius Fairchild, R. A. Alger, John R. Brooke, and A. 8. Webb and ex-Pensions Commissioner James Tan- ner. ——+o+______ MRS. HALLIDAY CONVICTED. Verdict of Murder in the First De- gree Brought in by the Jury. The jury in the case of Mrs. Halliday, on trial at Monticello, N. Y., for the murder of her husband and Mrs. and Miss McQuil- lan, retired at 1:30 o'clock yesterday, and three hours later returned with a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. After the verdict had been announced by Foreman Decker the counsel for the de- fense asked for a poll of the jury. Each juryman was asked if his verdict was that of murder in the first degree, and all an- swered in the affirmative. As the woman's counsel had nothing to say to the verdict, the judge announced that he would pro- nounce judgment on the prisoner today. ‘The prisoner did not seem to be affected by the verdict. When she was brought into court her cheeks were flushed. When she was told to stand up and face the jury she did so upon being raised by the cohstables in charge. She did not seem to comprehend that she was being consigned to death. After the verdict had been rendered und she had taken her seat, she tried several times to put her foot on a chair in front of | her.
