THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1894—EIGHTEEN PAGES, YOUNG BALL PLAYERS History and Officers of the Depart- , mental League. RSE OF THE NEW ORGANIZATION Membership of the Various Clubs. MANAGERS AND THE TEAMS ‘The Departmental Base Ball League is jt ending @ successful season, in which ve been given some fine exhibitions Of base ball playing. When the league was ed, in last June, many predicted that he organization would be a failure, but these skeptics are forced to admit that league has been as successful as any teur organization of a like character t was ever instituted In this city, and in sideration of the fact that it was hastily ized the success that it has attained sa epee truly remarkable. early June Mr. A. A. Sousa concelved the idea of forming a league of base ball ers, to be drawn from Uncle Sam's departments. A meeting was held in the stmaster’s room at the city post office, and the following clubs sent representatives: Bureau of engraving and printing, District mmisstoners’ office, War Department, Navy Department, geological survey, Post Office Department, Interior Department, Pension office, Treasury Department, city Post office and arsenal. The league selected its officers: Mr. Antony A. Sousa, presi- leut; Mr. Lamar Cobb, vice president; Mr. Alvin Belt, secretary, and Mr. Horace Du- Fant, treasurer.- They then proceeded to formulate the necessary rules, etc., to gov- €rn the organization, and on July 10 nines began playing om the prepared schedule. At once it was manifest that the league ‘was composed of good material, but the hief credit is due to the inanagers of the Sitrerent clubs, who had but a short time to rfect the necessary arrangements pertain- to uniforms, training, etc. However, the season started auspiciously, @nd it was imme Iiatciy seen that the league would have a successful season. Among the layers are many ex-professional base ball Players, and it is safe to presume that some how in the clubs will soon be placed on some of the teams in tne big league. Now that it has the confidence of the pub- lc, ihe league can start next season more pitiously, and will have fewer obstacles lo overcome than they had at the beginning Of the initial season. President Sousa. Mr. Antony A. Sousa, the president of the Yeague, is also the founder of that organiza- tion, and when the league started it unani- Tously elected Mr. Sousa to the office of President, in which capacity he has, with the assistance of his valuable helpers, con- ducted the business of the league to the atisfaction of that body. Mr. Sousa is @ brother of the composer, John Philip Sousa, and, like his brother, has consider- ‘ble popularity in this city. \,,His managerial ability has been tested to its utmost, and many dificuit obstacles have been overcome by kis tactful manage- Zpent. He has the confidence and friend- hip of every man in the league. Vice President Cobb. The vice president is Mr. Lama> Cobb, “ho also plays with the Commissioners’ team. Mr. Cobb is a memb>r of the Colum- bia Athletic Club, and has Interested him- self in many of the amateur sports of any €onsequence in this city. He has a goud krowle of all things that pertain to Qthietic matters and his suggestions have @roven invaluable. Seeretary Hardesty. The secretary of the league is Mr. Wil- Yam S. Hardesty, who was formeriy man- ser of the Geological Survey Base Ball Club. When he was elected to the o gecretary by reason of Mr. Belt’s ri tion he was connected with the surv team, which subsequently dropped out. his made Mr. Hardesty Ineligible as a mber of the league board, but the confi- @ence in him was so great that the league Ainanimously agr: to keep him in the ‘@flice of secretary. Treasurer Wilmot L. Harris. Mr. Wilmot L. Harris looks after the is of the league, and is one of the st workers. He has always mant- ed the wa est in the league's addition to his duties as is thme to play second team. Mr. Harris und his promp:ness ely beneficial to the in res Belt > are under the A consist proven trying which he } pires, v be snyyires on the stalf a. a3 SO comprise Messre. Charles B. Cameron, John | Gavin, Adams, Nichols,Weish, Smith, Clark Heydler and Archie Catlin, George Jaeger, Custodian, Mr. George Jaeger has filled the position of custodian with great credit, and as a hustler he has no peer, He at one time served in the United States army, with the rank of captain, and it is probably due to this that he conducts his business with such “military promptress.” He thusiast, and fs one of the league’s most valuable helpers. As custodian he has been untiring in his efforts is further the league’s progress, and that, together with having the management of the pension office team, has kept the captain very busy the entire season. Post Office Department Club. When the Post Oftice Department club was organized, on June 12, it selected as its manager Mr. A. S. Belote, who since that time has steadily advanced his club, and, in spite of numerous drawbacks, the team is in a healthy condition. Mr. Belote, who is well known socially and in Masonic circles, has been indefatigable in his efforts to ad- vance the welfare of his team, and his Giplomacy on all occasions has won the @ great en- A. G. Belt, Chief-of-Umptres. —a approval of every member of his club. Jimmy Sprigman plays second base for the club, and, as he is too well known to require comment, it can be simply said that he is as tricky as ever. Eddie Walsh ‘s another star, and this year is playing at the first bag, in which position he has heretofore been a stranger. How- ever, he covers It all right, and is doing just as good work as he did last year on the Georgetown University team. Milton O'Connell pitches, and does it well; A. S. Riddle is the catcher, and these two form a very effective battery. The third ba: is covered by Ed. Gee, and McKee plays at short. In the outfiel@ the Post Office Department club has Lucas, Healey, Morrison ard George Hurley, who captains the team. The Pension Office. The “Pensioners” are captained by Billy Bolway, who also plays at short. Mr. Bol- way rivals all other crack short stops in the league, and is an energetic and con- Scjentious player. He has been connected with a number of lecal clubs, and has a great fielding record. Mr. Wilmot Harris, the second baseman of the team, possesses excellent judgment in flelding balls, and, in addition to being a good ball player, has proven invaluable as an officer of the league. Raab, the catcher, has a fine record, and covers his position nicely, Hendiey plays well in the field, and Hough is an excellent pitcher. Belknap, Harris, Solan, Hendley and Bol- way are the infielders; Graham, Scott, Graj and Hoover generally play the outfield, wh‘le Hough and Cleves as pitchers, with Raab and Hendley as catchers, comprise the batteries. Mr. George Jaeger, who 1s the custodian of the league, manages this club, The District Commissioners’ Office. The District Commissioners’ office base ball team was organized as soon as the de- partmental league was suggested. The team has surprised its warmest supporters, who never believed that it would now be running neck and neck for first honors. No little of its success and high standing is due to its manager, Mr. M. C. Hazen, who has labored earnestly and faithfully to place it where it is. He has let no opportunity slip whereby he could strengthen the club, and today has a set of progressive ball players who can take a game from any of them. The congenial captain, Eddie Fuller, has also had a hand in placing the team among the leaders. He is among the star pitchers ot the league,and many times hag pulled the team out of a hole and landed it victor. iddie is always in the game to win, and Is ably supported by “Tubby” Dickinson, who is a great backstop. Henry Donovan Is playing first bag for keeps, and neat to him is “Nimpo" Jones at nd, who is playing the bag as well as any one in the business. Bob Barr, the forr.cr well-known ieague pitcher, is at short, Lilly Boyd has developed into one of the best third basemen in the league. Lamar Cobb covers left garden, and some of bis catches have been phenomenal. Harry Yates is in center, and Dan Dono- van in right field. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. ‘The team organized to represent the bu- reau of engraving and printing contains some of the oldest amateur players in the city. As they have been organized for about four years, they had quite an advantage at the beginning of the season, and for a time proved invincible. It excels in its team york, as the fielding averages of the play ers will show. Mr. William McCauley captains the team, and he ranks foremost among his associ- ates. He has @ thorough knowlege about everything that pertains to base ball, and has the absolute confidence of his men. Mr. Charles F. Miller, as manager of the team, hag shown excellent judgment in handling the affairs of the club. Everyone knows “Brother Miller’ as a genial and beneficent person, and it 19 principally due to his earnest enthusiasm that the club has remained in such good form, as their stand- ing indicates. Jack Orspada has pitched well the entire season, and has received excellent support from the team. They have a great Infleld with Dove, Madigan, Leach and McCauley. Joe Bernard is the new pitcher recently signed by the team, and he still retains his eld time form, The make up of the club is ag follows: Bernard and Orspada, pitchers; Wade, cateher; Dove, Madigan and Leach on the bases; McCauley, short stop, and Flaherty, Farrell, Schaeffer and Julian in the field, Treasury Department. To Mr. Harty Clark belongs the credit of © zing and perfecting the Treasury Depariment Club. It was through his ef- forts that the team started out so auspl- ciously. Mr. Clark takes the liveliest inter- in all athletic sports, and has partlcl- pated in a number of events here and else- where Mr. Serven a all ers.

Schneider, and under his guidance the team has been gradually strengthened until it now ranks with the leaders. At the commencement of the season the team was unable to get the proper prac- tice, which resulted in the loss of several games; now, however, the boys are in ex- cellent trim and the leading clubs of late have suffered defeat when they played with “Sherwood’s Pets,” as the club is familiar- ly_called. Harry Chamberlin captains the club, and plays at first base. He was connected with the Columbia Athletic Club team last year, and is no dcubt the best amateur firs baseman in this city, George Winkleman’s south paw possesses @ magic that will win any game when that thot datalat is i Fe condition. George has been very il) ta season, and in coh- sequence has not been able to officiate as peter in many of the games. He is now in excellent shape, and in the recent game with the Engravers showed something of hig old-time form by nearly shutting them ou! nk Rebstock is the heavy hitter of the and has a habit of knocking home- ep with alarming frequency; he {s also a deceptive pitcher, and a good outflelder. Harry Bishop is witbout doubt one of the cleverest backstops in the league, ang he very seldom fails to score several hits in a game. Hammacker is a splendid all-round player, but is at his best in the pitcher's box, Harry Connor has developed info a fine second baseman and sure hitter. The other players on the team are clever and useful in their various positions. The team is as follows: Wood, left field; Cham- berlin, first base; Bishop, catcher; Conner, short stop; Winkleman, Rebstock and Hai macker, pitchers; Connor, second bas‘ Ambrose, third base; Witte, Hennesy, Den- ny and Barclay, in the field. War Department, Mr. C. F. Dickens is the manager of the War Department Club, His popularity and fitness for that position are exceeded only by his all-around ability to play ball. The organization of the War Department Club was a difficult matter owing to the antici- pated heavy reductions in the force of that department. Players were hard to get, and when good ones were found they were shaky about advancing funds to pay their sbare of the expenses of the club. It was only by indefatigable efforts and a liberal use of his own pocket book that Manager Dickens finally succeeded in effecting an organization. The club is playing good ball, and as at present constituted is not afraid of any of the leaders. Mr. Dickens in his seven years’ experience in the signal corps of the army had ample opportunities to develop his boyhood ability as a ball player, and many are the tales he can tell of exciting games at Forts Sill and Reno and other military posts. His old position Was at shortstop or third base, and he is at honte at either place. Charlie Dickens scorns to claim relationship with his cele- brated namesake. There is nothing En- glish about him. He is a typical young American, and it is whispered that after reading Martin Chuzzlewit his patriotism was so thoroughly aroused that he came near changirg his own name entirely. John Quinn {s the energetic first baseman of the club. He has played ball from bhoy- hood at every opportunity. In 1800 he had charge of the navy league club of the U. 8. S. Atlanta In New York city, and during the season had a record of only one strike out. Since then he has played with the marines in this city, and also as first base- man of the Brooklyn marines when they had a strong nine. Since the admission of the Navy Department employes to the club he been captain of the team, and its good work since that time is due large- ly to Mr. Quinn's tact and judgment in placing players and his own excellent and determined playing. Mr. F. A. Cook, the left fielder, takes par- donable pride in showing the boys how to pull in long files. The warriors have a most excellent catch- er in the person of Mr. John Gilroy. Mr. Gilroy caught for the famous Washington Stars of 1sv2, when only four games were lost out of a total of fifty-four played. Dur- ing that season he had a record of only ene strike out. It is the exception when Gtlroy does not make a home-run hit and triples galore during a game. In the last four games played by the warriors he has made a total of four home-run hits. All base ball patrons of Washington know or have heard of Tommy Evers. His work at second base is equal to that of many of the second basemen in the ational League, and to a great many of them he could give valuable pointers. In 18st Mr. Evers played ‘cond base for the Union Association Club of this efty, which was an eight-club organization represented by four eastern and four western cities; he also played a part of the following season in the ern League, Mr. Merrill, elu late captain of the Arsenal team, is a live, energetic ball play- ayed short er.

Merrill hag since played in the arm Mr. Gilson has been in the army for eight or ten years and has always utilized every opportunity to participate in a game ef ball, either in the box or at first base. Mr. Gilson has terrifle speed and some very deceptive curves and can cause some of the best batters to punctuate the air with excesstve violence. The team as listed stands: Gllroy, Eliason, Quinn, Dickens, Gilson, Merrill, Cook, Nor- ton, Evers, McGes, Taylor, Allen and Nolan. the Mr. The Departmental League. In the absence of Pitcher Mills yesterday, the Treasury Department nine put a young man named Gavin in to twirl against the team from the bureau of engraving and printing. Fourteen runs in the first irning tell the tale. The game was so one-sided that but four and one-half innings were yed. The final score was 20 to 1.

There are several clubs anxious to secure the release of Capt. Joyce, but under no circumstances will Mr. Wagner part with his captain, The latter has demonstrated that he is the head and backbone of the team, hence he is regarded as a fixture in the senatorial ranks next season, A new second baseman may be secured in place of Ward, but otherwise the team will be kept intact, Radford, who has been covering second bag during the dis- ability of Ward, is playing the position ad- mirably, but, as he will not participate in Sunday games, he will probably be retained as a utility man. Washington has play “first division” ball against Louisville, Cleveland, Chicago and Cincinnatl. Three straight was a bitter dose for Capt. Comiskey to swallow. He says Schelbeck’s remarkable fielding robbed the Cincinnatis of the first and third games, and Umpire Emslie is also shouldered with a@ share of the blame by the veteran first baseman from “over the Rhine,’ The improvement of the Senators in team batting during the past two weeks is gen- erally commented upon, not only by the home talent, but by the visiting clubs. Sel- bach, Schelbeck and Mercer have picked up in their stick work, until now they are looked upon as the best emergency hitters in the team. While the “Reds” were in Washington there was considerable quiet speculation as to where “Arle” Latham, the sprightly third baseman, is apt to locate next season. He is tired of playing in the west, and he would jump at an opportunity to transfer to an eastern organization, It 1s said that his preference is to be stationed in New York, If the necessary details can be satisfactorily arranged. Comiskey will not discuss the probability of parting company with “Lat who is unquestionably one of the best draw- ing cards in league company; besides, there are not many men in the league who can equal him as a rn getter. If a deal could be arranged, Latham would not object to being | detailed for duty in Washington, where he is a great favorite. The burning of the Chicago grand stand a few days ago has revived the subject of transferring the last series between the eastern and western clubs to the east. Chi- cago and Cincinnati led the opposition to such an arrangement when the n under discussion a few weeks age the Chicago man. s matter of ne ‘sity, to agree to the trans. fer so far as that club is concerned. P: Gent Brush of Cincinrat! is on record as »p- posing the scheme, and of course nothi: = can be done tn this connection unless unan- imous consent is given. It is underst 0d that the Cincinnati players would not ob- ject to remaining cast until the season closes, for they realize that because of the poor standing of a majori: of the western clubs the interest in the pennant race is confined to the east. Chicago is without suitable play ground, and Cincinnati will | have to contend against the fall racing sea- son. Base ball is practically dead in Louis- ville and St. Louis, e: pt on Sundays, and Cleveland {3 losing confidence in its once favored team. Pittsburg is the only we: ern city that is still pai jf eT tlonal game with all of it: Under the revised sugge the transfer it is not contemplated de- prive Pittsburg of its full quota of games. The jumps m the easte “smoky city” are comparatively short.

Hoy also pre- dicts that New York will win the pennant for reasons similar to those given by Co- eye The slump of the Philadelphias during the past week has been one of the surprises of the season. For over two weekg they have been playing winning ball, and according to Comiskey, they arranged play nine games during the week, and they fully an- ticipated winning seven of the pine. It was Cincinnati who broke up their fond expecta- tions by jumping in Tuesday and throwing iown twice. Those two defeats are have had such a demoralizing effect m the Phillies that oy have given up 1 hope of intercepting the coming cham- pions, and their pennant aspirations are now languishing.

The Cincinnati players declare that the best umpiring they have encountered on their present trip was by Mr. Betts, in Bal- timore. Willie Wynne, Mr. Schmelz’s new pitcher, is a native of Charlotte, N. C. His last work was with the Charleston team. Will he prove a winner? TWO GAMES DROPPED. The Washingtons Not a Match for the Leading Clubs. The Washirgton base ball club stopped over in Philadelphia yesterday afternoon and dropped two games to Arthur Irwin's men. It locked very much as though Schmelz’s men would win the first, for at the end of the eighth inning the score stood 8 to 7 in their favor, but in the ninth the Quakers scored three runs on errors by Maul and Hasamaear, and hits by Sullivan and Taylor and took the game. In the first game Washington never let a chance slip to gain a point. In the second contest, however, they seem:d to lose all ginger, and Pitcher Wynne, Schmeiz’s latest acquisi- tion, was given the most indifferent kind of support. According to the Philadelphia Times, “Wynne pitched good ball from the start, and for four innings kept the sluggers down to three hits. The support which he received in the first inning was simply exe- crable, no less than four errors, two by Scheibeck and one each by Joyce and Hasa- maear, being nade to a single by Hallman. He was, however, wild, as all new pitchers are, but settled down after the fourth in- ning. Errors and bases on balls were re- sponsible for the first seven runs made by the locals. ‘The score: " ADELPHIA. WASHINGTON. RAI. z.
