Yet they are winning games ight along, and that is sufficient joy for Sood-natured Charlie Byrne and Manager Fouts, While in this city Captain-Manager Fouts was quite severe in his criticism of the local grounds. He says the in and .out- field is rougher and more uneven than any other ball park im the league He says it is almost impossible for a fielder to play @ clean Seiding game, because of the hun- Greds of little hillocks or rough places in all parts of the fleld. Other visiting players have made similar complaints, and it is probable that these criticisms will, in a measure, atone for some of the seemingly disastrous misjudgments of grounders by Cartwright, Ward and Hasamaear on several occasions, — During the past week President Young has endeavored to make things pleasant at league headquarters for the visiting teams from Brooklyn and Boston. Twesday night there was a garden party at Mr. Young’s summer residence. Sort of annual outdoor feast of a military organization, to which one of Mr. Young’s sons belongs. Mr. Byrne and the members of the Brooklyn team were invited to attend. Of course the ites did not care to mingle in the FATTENED BATTING AVERAGES. The Washingtons Made the Boston Outfelders Weary. What was advertised to be a game of base ball took place yesterday afternoon at National Park. It yesulted, however, in an administration of torture to Capt. Nash, Tommy Tucker and a number of young gentlemen hailing from the hub, who here- tofore have been regarded as ball players. In plain language, Washington played an excellent game, hit the ball, scored in ev- ery inning, and made the Boston infielders so very, very weary chasing leather in the hot aun that finally those persons conciud- ed that haste makes waste, so they gave up every effort to hastily field th here. It was # veritable slugging match from beginning to end. Lovett started in to pitch r Beaneaters, but he was : took his place in the fourth inning and proved even easier than his predecessor. Twenty-seven hits, in- cluding seven for two bases, four for three bases and three home runs, tell the tale faore plainly than words. For Washington Mercer pitehed seven -innings, and but eight hits were made off his delivery.

So long as an umpire can do that he is sure to succeed. The Boston club has caught the Anson- fan fever of patronizing {irst-class hotels while in Washington. The “bean consum- ers” put up at the Hotel Normandie. They Hpnsled in the lobby with Vice President evenson, Senators Hill, Smith of New Jersey, and Blanchard of Louisiana, and @ host of Representatives who make the Normandie their home. The deportment of the Rostonians in this ty was excellent, and it is hard to believe the ugly stories old on them by their “hated rivals,” the Ittmores. Immediately after today’s game the Ral- timore club will leave Camden station for Chicago, where it plays tomorrow. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has put a spe- clal train at the disposal of the club, which will run through with very fe ‘ops. It! ie expected that the team will arrive at| Chicago at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Unless the Boston team puts more snap into their playing than has been seen this week in Washington they will never catch with Baltimore. “Pvuller’s great playing in the two Phila- deiphia games on Wednesday has caused the fickle enthusiasts to turn their backs upon their erstwhile idol, “Yale” Murphy. Now they are crying for Fuller to be kept in the game. There is a hitch in Louisville's dicker for Pitcher Meaney of Harrisburg. Manager Barnie has telegraphed Pfeffer that Meaney has not yet signed. Barnie Is still on the hunt for twirlers. He is also said to be after Stafford and Gilbert. Hawley of St. Louis leads the league pitchers up to date in point of effectiveness. Catcher Merritt has become a great favorite in Pittsburg. Anson is said to want outfelder Hogan of Scranton.

One of the dangerous trolly poles of the Eckington railroad came near causing the death of a sixteen-year-old boy named Wm. Ohimes last evening about 7 o'clock. The boy was @ passenger on an open car, and while the car was in motion he left the seat he had occupied to make a change in order to get in a part of the car where he saw one of his friends. In doing so he stepped on the platform nearest the trolley poles, and his head struck against one of the poles with such force that he was knocked’ sensezess. The men in charge of the train and citizens assisted the in- jured boy in Johnson's drug store, near Brookland, where he was restored to con- sciousness by several physicians, who were summoned. There was a long cut on the boy's head, and a fracture of the skull. Later in the evening the sufferer was re- moved to his home, 11th and Frankfort stree' Brookland. slate.

THIRTY DAYS ABROAD Principal Kramer Winsthe Bradbury Prize AND WILL SAIL THE OCEAN BLOE He Received Nearly a Hundred Thousand Votes, STANDING OF CONTESTANTS About the middle of April the Bradbury Piano Company, through its local manager, Mr. W. P. Ven Wickle, announced in The Btar that they would present to) the most Popular schoo: teacher in Washington a thirty-day trip to Europe, with ail expenses paid. School teachers were selected on ac- count of their being a hard-working, de- serving class, and, as instructors of the young, they are naturally most. benefited by the experience and instructions gained by traveling. The ticket covers the round trip ocean passrge, all railway fares, hotel charges, carriage drives, &c., from Wash- ington to Burope, and from Europe back to Washington, visiting Glasgow, Edinburgh, Melrose, Abbottsford, Keniiworth and War- | wick castles, Stratford, London, Paris and Versailles, The trip. is one of the regular tours organized by Henry A. Gase & Sons of London and New York, and conducted by Professor Wm. D. Sheldon of the New England Journal of Education, of Boston, Mass. The contest was open to every teach- er, male and female, Within the District of Columbia, and imshediately some sixty or more contestants entered for the prize. As time progressed, and the friends of various contestants warmed up to their work, some were frightened out, and the contest nar- rowed down to @ dozen or more of the leading teachers in the various sections of the city. Many of Washington's prominent merchants became impressed with the mu- nificence of the offer, and the straightfor- ward manner in which the contest was be- offered to the winner prizes, covering al- Tost every requisite for an enjoyable European trip. Mr. James 8. Topham fed sented a handsome steamer trunk, Mr. J. B. Chamberlin ented one of their finest kodaks, B. H. Stinemetz & Son presented @n order upon Henry Heath of London for one of hia finest hats, Woodward & Loth- Top presented a steamer rug, W. B. & Sons presented a steamer chair, E. P. Merts, the druggist, presented a handsome and most complete leather tollet case; A. M. Moore of Moore's Shoe Palace present- ed a pair of the finest shoes. These hand- some gifts had the effect of spurring on the contestants, and for the past few weeks many ha tions projected to increase the number of their votes. Working squads were organiz- ed, “flag days’ were instituted, amateur concerts arranged, lagging contestants were induced to withdraw in favor of oth- ers, and their forces combined, and, in many instances, valuable prizes were offered by some of the contestants to the pupil secur- ing for them the highest number of votes. | The South Washington contingent appears to have been the best organized, all of their efforts and energies being concentrated upon one candidate, Mr. S. Elliott Kramer of the Smallwood School, who has 94,254 votes, and leads his field by a handsome majority. ~ little credit for hi due to the ins \ will leave Wa: ington Fri- day, June 2, for New York, will be met board the steamship City of Rome by Mr. Freeborn G.

Steven Elliot Kramer, The winner, Mr. Steven Elliot Kramer, He was the public schools of Wash was born in Atlanta, Ga., in 1871. educated in dence of the sterling mental qualities since so strongly manifested. He was admitted to the Normal School upon an excellent p manner born.” He graduated in 1890 at the head of his class, and was given the oaition of instructor of English at the stern High School, being the first nor- thel Washington graduate ever placed in the charge of a department. In 1892 Mr. Kramer was appointed principal of the Smallwood School building, and for three years the Jefferson Night School has had the pleasure of calling him its principal, siving him the honor of being the youngest principal in the city. Owing to his energy, wide popularity and mental qualities, he has twice filled the honored position of president of the High School Class Organi- gation. The educational is not the only sphere in which Mr. Kramer has distin- guished himself. He is a prominent mem- ber of the Christian Endeavor Society of the District, and his work in that body is characterized by the same tact and en- thusiasm which has marked all his efforts in other directions. Mr. Kramer is also @ member of the Columbian University Law School. The generous offer of Mr. Free- born G. Smith, manufacturer of the Brad- bury piano, gave his many friends an op- portunity to testify to their high esteem and regard, and the number of ballots which have fairly deluged the office of the company is unmistakable proof of their fidelity. His own school row have reported as high as 500 votes a day, and his school building have polled as many as 2,400 votes, which, with the able assistance of his many friends outside, the grand total of 13,000 was cast for him the last day. In conversation with @ reporter Mr. Kramer sald: “I feel deeply grateful to my many friends for their un- tiring efforts in my behalf, and I ascribe my success to them rather than to my in- dividual effort.” One of Mr. Kramer's most enthusaistic workers was little fourteen- year-old Harry Hammack, who, although delicate, is certainly a hustler. He sent the Bradbury Piano Company the follow- ing poetical effusion with his last batch of votes, cast last night, which is nothing if not expressive: With the help of Mrs. Wi Mr. Kramer wins the prize; And for many, many a day He'll spend his time far away. ‘When the vacation days have passed, ramer was in “‘the first row.” Dr. James H. Waring received the second highest number of votes, and ts closely fol- lowed by Prof. W. S. Montgomery of the Cook School. A right “merry war" was waged between them, and it is now plainty evident that had either withdrawn in favor of the other early in the contest, the one selected would have won with flying colors. Mr. James H. Waring was born in Cass county, Mich., September 22, 1861, and was educated in the public schools at Oberlin, Ohio, and finished his education in, the Western University of Pennsyivania, His first appointment was to the country school on the old Bladensburg pike, where he taught for five years. He was promoted to the principalship of the Hillsdale Schoo! in 1883, and transferred to the principalship of Garnet School in 1885. February 1, 1891, he was appointed supervisur in charge of eighth division, ““B,” with headquarters at Lincoln School. Mr. Waring has a pleasant and courteous address, and his widespread popularity is evident in the large number of votes to his credit.

Elliott Kramer, having the highest number of votes to hie crefiit, is declared the winner of the Bradbury European trip and the accompanying prizes presented by prominent local merchanta, Very respectfully, W. B. THEO. W. NOYES, JOHN JOY EDSON. A significant feature of the contest was the large number of votes cast, and the tes- tmony it gave of the value of The Star as an advertising medium. In this connection the following letter ts interesting: WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23, 1894, Evening Star Newspaper Company: Gentlemen: I feel that it Is but due The Evening Star to express the gratification I feel at the size of the vote cast in the Bradbury free trip to Europe contest, and the widespread attention directed to it through the columns of your valuable pa- per. The vote itself, nearly half a million, far exceeded our expectations. During this entire contest we have used but one medium—The Star—in which to ad- vertise the trip, and have only used the legitimate advertising columns. Our ad- vertisements have been copied verbatim ad Ubitum by all the leading musical journals of the country, and, in addition, long locals have appeared calling attention to the contest. A number of the leading ad- vertising journals of the country have re- produced our advertisements, with exhaust- ive comments upon their merit. We have received letters of inquiry in re- gard to the trip and ballots from nearly | every state in the Union, and my attention | Was especially called to the large circula- tion of The Star in all the towns near Washington, from which we received large packages of ballots in every mail. We feel that we made no mistake in selecting The Star to advertise our contest and that the | Meld was fully covered. ‘Thanking you for the prominence you have given our contest in your esteemed paper, 1 remain, Yours very respectfully, W. P. VAN WICKLE. Manager Bradbury Piano Co. ———_ The Baby Contest. A unique contest, and one which probably touches nearest the mother’s heart, is the baby popularity contest recently ineugu- rated by F. H. Wilson. Many tots have sent in their photographs, and a lively and interesting contest is to be expected. The | photographs are to be placed in a huge | frame and voted for by Mr. Wilson's cus- | tomers. The one receiving the largest num- | ber of votes secures a prize of $35 in gold; the next largest, $25 in gold; the next | largest, $10 in gold, and the next largest, a pair each of Wilson's finest shoes for itself and mother. ————.—__.
