THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. 13 SUSTAIN THE UMPIRE President Young Denounces the Prac- tice of Finding Fault. LEADING CLUBS DO NOT KICK MUCH Steps to Crush Out Dirty Ball Playing. NOTES OF THE PLAYERS es “Only one month of the base ball season has passed, and yet the aggregate amount of the fines inflicted during that period is far in excess of the whole amount of the penalties inflicted upon the players last year.” This startling statement was made by President N. E, Young, at league head- quarters yesterday. Mr. Young was going over his official records to ascertain how many days of grace are due Capt. Davis, Doyle and Meekin of the ‘New Yorks, who were recently fined under rule 59. These three valuable players for the Giants are obliged to pay their fines by today (the 25th), otherwise they will be debarred from playing in the league until their fines are paid. A Bad Practice. President Young went on to say how un- fortunate itis that the players will persist in trying to discredit the umpires in the face of the rule. It is not pleasant for the umpires to impose fines, but in many in- stances they are abused and called the hardest kind of rames by players who ought to knew better. It may be true,says Mr. Young, that sometimes an umpire be- comes unduly excited and inflicts penalties with too much vindictiveness. It is not wise to pile up fine upon fine upon a player When the rule permits the umpire to put the offender out of the game. It would be a good plan to first wara the offender. If he insists upon his misconduct then put a fine of $25 on him. If that does not have the desired effect he should be sent to the bench. The Lenders Do Not Kick. According to the records Mr. Young says none of the leaders in the race for the pen- nant are kicking against the umplres to the extent of subjecting themselves to fines. Not_a player on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati or Chicago teams has been fined this sea- son. The scores show that those three clubs have played fast and successful ball. Boston is another club that has not had to pay a fine. Philadelphia, with all of its hard luck and discomfitures, has managed to struggle along without one of its play- ers losing a dollar in the way cf fines. Even Louisville has escaped *he wrath of the umpire in the matter of fines. Mr. Young says “it is unjust for certain clubs to charge certain umpires with be- ing dishonest, without attempting to sub- mit definite ‘charges and substantiating them with proof. The umpires are just as anxious to make a clean record in the line of their business as the players are, and the latter might display their interest and their earnestness in the club they repre- sent in Some other way than by making an exhibition of themselves and subjecting themselves to a fine. The fines have to be paid by the players, and the sooner they appreciate that fact the better it will be for all concerned.” Dirty Ball Playing. Immediate steps must be taken to crush out the growing tendency in certain clubs toward “dirty ball.” The increased inter- est in the national game in the west, and the apparent hunger for the sport in the east, should be sufficient incentive for the managers and the players to stand together in behalf of fair play and gentlemanly de- portment on the ball field. The best peo- ple in the land now patronize the game, and it is to the interest of all concerned to crush out blackguardism at any cost, even if the services of several of the “star’’ players of the league have to be dispensed with, WASHINGTONS WIN AGAIN. The St. Louis Played Poorly and Threw Away the Game. Although the Browns hit Maul freely yesterd&y at St. Louis, the close fielding of the Washingtons kept down the scoring, and numerous errors by Miller, who went behind the bat for two innings, enabled the Senators to win. Coogan and Joyce were the only error makers. Crooks played a particuarly fine game. Joe Battin, the old ball player, umpired. Maul created a scene in the first inning, which should have resulted in his being sent out of the game. Brown hit down to Cartwright, and the latter tried to beat him to first, both reaching the bag at the same time. Umpire Battin decided in favor of the runner, whereupon Maul rushed up to the umpire and shook him in the manner that an irate school teacher often punishes a bad little boy. The “rooters” became ex- cited and yelled “Put him out, put him out,” but Maul cvoled down, and the game proceeded. ST. LOUIS. WASHINGTON. R.H.O.A.

Pitcher Hodson does not seem to be fast enough for league company, Chicago leads the league in base hits so far this season, with 284 to its credit. Pitcher Kid Nichols of the Bostons has rot been doing the work lately that has been expected cf him. Several National League club owners are urging the appointment of John Sheridan to the umpire staff. He is at present on the Western League staff, and said to be giving excellent satisfaction. Gus Schmelz has about him a team of ball players that should take no one's dust. There are several hitters on the team that will bother the best of the pitchers, and in Maul and Stecksdale they have two good twirlers. Ail seem to have too little con- filence in their own ability to go up against & winning team.—Exchange. A Washington base ball writer, who is probably one of the “ghouls” referred to by Manager Schnfelz, says in the Sport- irg Life: “There is no disguising the fact that there are two and possibly three mal- contents on the Washington team. These are the ones who have been weakest in fielding and indifferent at the bat. A few weeks of lay-off without pay would no doubt prove an effective cure. Two or three White Lot amateurs could fill their places for the time being to the advantage of the team.” George Teheau’s place on the Cleveland team is so sure a fixture that he has sent to Denver for his family to come. Blake's work in every game he has played thus far has been good, and he and “White Wings” will alternate in right field in the east.— Cleveland Correspondence. Shortstop McMahon has improved vastly over. his last year’s form, and since he has a player in Smith at third who can take care of that part of the field he is now able to do justice to his own and a large part of the second base field.—Wilkesbarre Cor- respondence. This is the McMahon the Washington management released. Of all slow pitchers, Malarkey of Wash- ington is the slowest. He seems to have nothing but time. Before he sends in a ball he seems to spend several momenis in silent prayer. Mr. Malarkey would make a messenger boy explode with envy.—Sport- ing Life. Boston sold Collins to Louisville for $500, with a proviso that he shall be returned to Boston for the same figure if he turns out a success this season. Cincinnati is base ball crazy. Not since the time that the famous Cincinnati Reds made their triumphant tour of the United States and returned home with a record of unbroken victories, not even excepting 1882, the team’s only championship year, has enthusiasm been up to such a high pitch as it is at the present writing. They ted to ring the fire bells the other day when they took the lead. Sunday Base Ball at St. Paul. ST. PAUL, Minn., May 25.—Judge Otis of the district court has issued a per- manent injunction against Sunday base ball games on the present park. This does not effect other parts of the city. Capt. Comiskey is quoted as saying that he will move ‘his ball club to some other city if not allowed to play Sunday games in St. aul. To Race at River View. In the latest bulletin issued by Chair- man Gideon of the racing board of the L. A. W., announcement is made that the board has sanctioned the holding of a race meet by the Potomac Wheelmen of this city, at River View, ‘Tuesday, June 11. —_-_— WITH ONE WHEEL. The Trotting Horse May Cover a Mile in Two Minutes. =z A one-wheel bicycle sulky is a possibility of the 1895 trotting season. Should it ful- fill the hopes of its inventors, the lght- harness horse will undoubtedly pass the long-anticipated two-minute mark. The fastest miles of the past season, Queen Alix's 2.033-4 and Robert J.'s champion pacing record of 2.01 3-4, are within a short space of the coveted speed, but in such low figures fractions are as big as pyramids. Flying Jib, hitched with 2 running mate, The Sulky With One Wheel. has paced the mile in 1.581-4, but this, while a phenomenal performance, does not count in these calculations, for a team could not be used to the one-wheel sulky under any circumstances. If, as It is claimed, the one-wheel will be as much faster over the ordinary bicycle sulky as that invention was over the high-wheel type, a straight trotting or pacing record under two minutes may be expected. As it is, C. J. Hamlin, with Fantasy, 2.06, and Monroe Salisbury, with Queen Alix, have promised to show miles better than 2.03 under present conditions. The new sulky has a pneumatic-tire wheel, with a high seat resembling the ordinary bicycle seat in its mechanism. It is attached by solid steel rods to the shafts. The traces are short and the shafts are given no play at all, so the wheel will run smoothly and be as easy to ride as an ordi- nary sulky. There is no danger of the hoofs striking the wheel, and it is claimed that the sulky helps the horse to keep an even and well-balanced galt. The axle has ball-bearings, like a bicycle. +2 -_______ BLOOD WAS REINFORCED. An Interesting Operation to Restore Vitality Exhausted by Disease. From the Springfield Republican. An interesting surgical operation, one which is new to Springfield, was performed about two weeks ago by Dr. W. A. Smith, one of the new members 2f the fraternity in this city. The operation was the infu- sion into an exhausted system of a saline solution to increase the supply of blood. For years there have been occasional op- erations of transfusion of blood from the veins of one person to those of another to meet the same purpose, but the operation is so dangerous that it is rarely attempted, except in cases of the most urgent nece: sity. The danger comes in the likelihood of bubbles of air getting Into the blood which is transfused, and these bubbles usually mean death. When they have run their course through the veins and reach the heart, the heart needs to be kept full and the slight resistance of the air is insuf- ficient to keep the valves working. It was for this reason that the old method went out. But out of it grew the method of infusing a solution of salt and water into the veins. The blood is saline and the solution is transformed into blood rapidly | and produces an effect which is not only stimulating but permanent. It was first attempted in Germany a year or two ago and has often been done in Europe, but perhaps never before in this city. The patient in this case has been suf- fering for a long time with a tumor in the abdomen, which had sapped her vital- ity till her system could not stand the cutting which was necessary. It was found advisable to.take this method of strength- ening the system, and the operation was performed at the Buscall Hospital, on Mat- toon street. The patient was put under the influence of anesthetics and the injection was made between the breast and the mus- cles of the che About a pint of the sol tion was injected, a fountain syringe be- ing used. The breast absorbs the fluid quickly into the veins, and in this case within twelve hours all the solution had been taken up by the system. It has been quite successful, and the patient is so much stronger that it is hoped that the removal of the tumor can be attempted before a great while. ——_—+ Doubt as to the Seat of Permeation.

THE GENERAL INTEREST —_+>—_—_ The clubs in the Departmental Base Ball League are beginning to show decided im- provement in their games. Whether it was on account of lack of practice or not, some of the exhibitions which were given at the opening of the season were woefully lack- ing in some good base ball characteristics. Errors and misplays were numerous, and about the only offset was the heavy batting that occurred in almost all of these games. This was greatly enjoyed by the spectators, however, and it still continues to be a feature of the games, but since the fielders have improved somewhat the team work has gone up wonderfully, and now a really creditable exhibition of base ball is made by the contesting teams of the league every day at National Park. The Washington team coming back on the 28th of this month suspends the Departmental League schedule from that date to June 19. It is expected that the teams will use every spare minute for practice, and that June 19 will inaugurate a new system of playing. What nearly all of the teams seem to need is a good set of outfielders. Some of the clubs are very weil provided in this respect, but the most of them are deficient in hard-hitting, sure fielders in the outside gardens. Another thing is the lack of team work in the playing of some of the clubs. A number of the clubs have some really excellent all players, but they don’t seem to win games. They have play- ers who cover their own positions in the very best of style, but when it comes to a case where team work would save a score,- they are not there. A great deal of praise has been bestowed, and justly, on the umpires of the Depart mental League. Hardly without exception they have proven themselves to be capable and efficient and fitted in every way to oc- cupy the thankless position of an umpire. The managers of the league should be congratulated on having such an efficient corps of these necessary adjuncts to good base ball games. About the Teams. There seems to be something radically wrong with the Washington Light Infantry team. They have a’ number of good play- ers—Wisner, Winkleman, Gilroy, Klein- schmidt and Gleason—and while the others are not up to the standard set by these five, yet they are a very creditable ‘set of ball players. Wisner is an ideal captain, and why they have not won more of their games is a mystery. The Government Printing Office team is another one which was thought a great deal of before the opening of the season. Their principal weakness appears to be in the box, however, and as soon as that is a they will probably play better all. ‘The two champion teams of last year are still ir first place, and from present ap- pearances it looks as though they would stay there. The strength of these two teams is in their batteries. Fuller and Orspada are both hard men to beat, and although the support which is given them is hardly better than that accorded some of the other clubs, still their skill enables them to win the games. Unless something unforeseen happens, it is to be feared that the other clubs will not get even a sight of the trophies, urless they should speedily develop some good pitchers and some bet- ter outfielders. The Pension Office team appears to pull pretty well together. Their play is snappy and full of life, and they can be looked fcr very near the top at the close of the sea- son. The Post Office Department team’s cap- tain seems to think that any method will do to win a game, and by his playing ineli- gibles forfeited a game to the opposing club. The team appears to be a fair one and should make a good showing. The Treasury and the Army and Navy teams were somehow reckoned to be the weakest in the league. The latter team disproved that, however, and though they have fallen by the wayside a trifle, yet they hope to make up their loss in a short time. The Treasury Department is pro- vided with a good pitcher, and if they had outfielders they would play winning ball. The men on the City Post Office team look like ball players for the most part, but the fatal lack of team work tells on the standing of the club. The infield is fair, but again there is that big hole in the out- field. The support received by this club from the office, however, is the heartiest that is given to any, and they should en- deavor to play a winning game for this reason if for no other. As to the Players. McMaraway of the Army and Navy team has rather a remarkable fielding rec- erd for a catcher. In the last three games he has taken part in he accepted thirty- three chances with only two errors. In the last game he accepted fifteen chances without an error. His batting was also good and he was especially lucky on bases. He secured eight hits in three games, bring- ing in seven runs. McKee played short in Monday’s game and thereby showed his entire fitness for the position. He has a record in that game of nine hard chances and one error, and that a most excusable one on a red- hot low ball. His’ work was full of snap and life, and his throwing to first al- most perfect. Sprigman held down second base in the opening game of the week in a manner that justified all of his admirers’ predic- tions that one day Jimmie would be a ball player. He accepted nine chances with- cut an error, handling every ball in a way that savored very much of professional- ism: He also had a remarkable record at the bat, making six base hits out of six times up. Havens is another catcher who has a good fielding record. In a recent game he accepted twelve chances without an er- ror. Wisner of the Washington Light Infan- try team has a splendid record for third base in the last three games which he has ed in. He accepted in the three games twenty chances without an error of any description. He also has the record of stolen bases so far this season, having pur- loined twelve bases in three games. His largest number in one game was seven, and that off such a good catcher as Mc- Manaway. Wisner is probably the prettiest and best base runner of the league. He takes every chance, no matter how many men are out, but he never throws himself away on fool- ish opportunities, seeming to-know just ex- actly when to go and when to stay when the baljl is pitched to the batter. His slid- ing is as pretty as that done by a profes- siongl, and it {s a good second or third baseman that gets the ball down quick enough to catch him before he has reach- ed the bag. Kleinschmidt is one of the star fielders of the league. He probably covers more ground than any other outfielder in the Teague, and the expression that goes with every ball that is knocked to him is “in the tar barrel.” Several of his catches in recent games have been of the sensational order and have caused any amount of en- thusiasm. He also cut off some good hits that seemed sure in the game between the c._A. C. and the W. L. I. C. Orspada, the pitcher of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing team, does not seem to exert himself very much in a game, but he succeeds wonderfully well in keeping his opponents’ hits well scattered. Inability to hit him has been the cause of most of the bureau's victories. He never Toses his head, but pitches the same tricky, deceiving ball, no matter how much the coachers talk to him, or how many men there are on bases. Mills is one of the best fielding pitchers in the league. When the treasury team played the W. L. I. C., Mills accepted eight chances without an error, two of which were outs and the rest assists. This is to be much commended, in view of the fact that nowadays most’ of the star pitchers prefer to let the fielders handle the ball in preference to trying to get it themselves, sometimes giving the runner a base more than he should have had. Mills is also a sure batter, especially with men on bases, and he has knocked many a game out of a hele in the last inningé Winkleman, who plays second base for the W. L. I. Co.'s, is, on the whole, one of the steadiest ball players in the league. His work is not on tHe §tar order, but there are very few balls that get away from him. He is a good batgen besides, the only drawback to his general playing being that he is not a runner. “Tubby” Dickinson_is a hard worker for the advancement of his club, no matter with whom he plays; ‘His whole heart and soul is in the gam#, ‘and there is not a more scientific “kicker” on any base ball team. He is a good, steady player, how- ever, and when his,'bif. bat comes in con- tact with the ball,something has got to happen. Fuller reminds one of Murphy, the old New York pitcher, ;with his left hand en- cased ir a glove. It didjnot save him from making one or two misplays in Wednes- day's game, and he would have done bet- ter with no glove to incumber his move- ments, Twelve men struck out, however, is good enough, even if he did wear a gleve. Some Team Records. A little summary of what the clubs as a whole have done may prove interes‘ing just at this stage. In the matter of earned runs the bureau of engraving and printing team stands at the head, with 25 to its credit. Those that follow it are the pension office, 17; W. L. I. C., 15; army and navy, 14, and G. P. 0., 12. The District Commissioners have earn- ed 10 runs in two games. Under the column of first base by errors the following is the arrangement made up from the tabulated scores: Bureau of en- graving and printing, 21; W. L. I. C. and pension office, both with 20; city P. O., 13, and District Commissioners, 10. The number of men left on bases is <3 follows: W. L. I. C., pension office, 23; B. E. P. and city P. O., both with 19, and the army and navy and P. O. Dept., both with 14. The club which has made the most base hits in the games already played is the persion office team. The record is 52 hits, and the team is followed closely by the bureau team with 51. The order of the other teams is as follows: army and navy, 44; P. O. Dept. 41; W. L. 1. C., 36; Dis. G. P. O., 29; treasury, 27, and » 2. ‘The same club which stands at the head of the base hit list also heads the error list, with 32 errors to its credit. The G. P. O. team comes second, with 26, and the W. L. I. C. third, with 23. The other teams are: Army and navy, P. O. Dept. and B. E. P., 20 each; treasury, 19; city P. O., 17, and Dis. Com., 13. The District Commissioners team has played only two games and therefore ‘ts record is not as complete as the others. The city post office team has also only played two games, but, as its -playing is not quite up to the standard of the lead- ers, that, ttam. ——_——— AMERICS TEAM MAY WIN. Champion Carter's Views as to the Meeting With the Englishmen. E. C. Carter, the long-distance runner, well known on both sides of the Atlantic, arrived In New York on the Germanic ‘Thursday afternoon, after a brief visit to the old'sporting grounds where he formerly scored numerous victories. In answer to numerous inquiries as to the chances of the visiting team against the “Yankees,” he said: “The London Athletic Club de- veloped exceptionak strength at its second spring meeting on ‘May 11, and I was par- ticularly surprised at the proficiency in short-distance running Which was display- ed then. “The Englishmen; generally, are particu- larly keen for the font t, and ft seems to me, taking the events seriatim, they have a slight advantage, but this is liable to be overcome, by the djsadvantages which the Englishmen will ‘naturally labor under from the sea voyage and a change of cli- mate.

From Harper's Weekly. 9. rr If an ordinary persoa, who has at some time in his career experienced the miseries of toothache, were asked if he remembers the pain in question, there is very little dcubt as,to what his response would be. Unquestionably he would say he remem- bered it, But this incautioas admission might lead at once to controversial diffi- culties,,for it appears that psychologists are in doubt as to whether any one can under any circumstances remember a toothache or any other pain. It seems desirable to follow this state- ment at once with the assurance that it Is not a joke. Psychologists, as a rule, are not humorists, and they have no thought of being funny when they assert that pains and other sensations cannot be remember- ed. Those of them who hold this view are strictly in earnest, and mean exactly what the words imply in their most sober sense. They are perfectly aware that we common- ly speak of remembering pains, and sup- pose that we do remember them. But they contend that in such a case we remember not the pain itself, but the ideas that were associated with the pain. We remember, for example, that we were unable lo work because we had a toothache; that we ap- plied remedies to it unsuccessfully; that finally we went to a dentist and had the tooth extracted, and at once gained relief. All this we remember very vividly, as every one admits. But, it is sald, we do not re- tain in our minds the slightest trace cf the pain itself as a memory, or of the sensa- tion of relief that came when the pain ceased. To the person not accustomed to looking sharply into the darker corners of his own mind this will no doubt seem a very un- necessary splitting of hairs. But the psy- chologists do not so regard it. They are discussing the matter pro and con with a good deal of vigor, this being, indesd, one of the controversies that go to maxe up the current history of that world apart in which the philosophers live. ——— 00 Ringing” Trees. From the American Architect. Architects will remember that the old books on building advise that the trees In- tended to be cut for timber should have a ring of bark cut out around the trunk in the latter part of the winter preceding the autumn season in which they are to be felled. This advice seems to have been founded on experience, but so far as we know it is never followed in modern times. Very recently, however, M. Mer of the great forest school of Nancy, in answering an inquiry as to the best means for pre- serving wooden telegraph poles from the ravages of insects, explains the effect of “ringing” growing ‘trees!in a very interest- ing manner. According/to M. Mer, a tree intended to be used for a telegraph pole should be cut in the autumn, and druing the preceding winter should have a-ring cut out of the bark, down to the wood, near the upper part of the trunk. If this 1s done the ascent of the sap in the spring is prevented, as it is well known that the sap circulates just under the bark. The tree, nevertheless, grows, consuming as nu- triment_ the starch grains laid up in the sapwood. When the season's growth is over, the starch: in the sapwood is gone; but, as fresh sap has not been allowed to circulate, no new starch has been deposited in its place to supply the next season’s growth, and when the tree is felled its tis- sues contain no sfareh? and consequently no food for the insects which feed upon wood, and which, according to M. Mer, only eat the wood for the starch which they find in it. To inject wood with sulphate of cop- per, as is often done, M. Mer says helps to complete its protection, but only on condi- tion that the starch is first removed as he suggests. ——— The Parental View. From Life.

THROWING SIXTEEN-POUND HAMMER A Washington Man Wins in the Southern Tennis Contest. NOTES OF INTEREST ——————— The first day of the twentieth annual field meeting of the Intercollegiate Asso- ciation of Amateur Athletics brought a fairly large crowd to Berkeley Oval yes- terday to witness some fine sport. There were six hundred and odd entries for the scheduled events, and promptly at 2 o'clock the referee called the boys to the scratch for the hundred-yard dash. There were seven neats off in the event, but none of the contestants succeeded in doing the distance in 10 flat. Jchn V. Crum of Iowa ran beautifully in the third heat, and in the second trials won again in 10 1-5 sec- onds. He is looked upon by all collegians as the likely winner of the hundred: and two hundred and twenty yard dashes when the finals are run off today. Ashe won his two hundred and twenty trial in 22 1-5 sec- onds. In the field events Hickok of Yale outdid himself by throwing the sixteen-pound hammer 132 feet and 10 inches, breaking his association and collegiate records,which were 123 feet 9 inches and 129 feet 5 1-2 inches, respectively.

Princeton wins the intercollegiate cup by taking two consecu- tive annual shcots. Princeton won last year by securing 130 birds out of a possible 150, breaking the intercollegiate record. Yale failed to send a team. Will Strengthen Cornell's Eleven. The statement is made by’ Capt. G. W. Rulison bf the Cornell track athletic team that John Greenway, formerly the right end of the Yale ’Varsity foot ball team, who was kept from playing last year on account of Illness, together with Frank A. Hinkey, captain and left-end of the Yale team last fall, will enter Cornell next Sep- tember and play ends on the Cornell team. Both Hinkey and Greenway will graduate from Yale this spring, dnd Capt. Rulison said that they would enter Cornell law school in preference to Yale law school, as they intend to practice in New York state, and the state code differs from the general law which Yale teaches. ,Their acquisition will make Cornell's team a fac- tor in next fall's foot ball problem, which cannot be overlooked with impunity.

THE FOOT BALL FIGHT. Causes of the Ill Feeling Be- tween Yale and Harvard. There seems to be a general lack of in- telligence on the part of the sport-loving public in this vicinity regarding the causes which have led to the abandonment, for this year at least, of the annual foot ball game, played every autumn between the Yale and Harvard elevens. It is known of course that Yale’s captain, Mr. Thorne, wrote a letter to Harvard's captain, Mr. Brewer, in which he stated that unless Harvard publicly apologized for the stric- tures made by the Harvard coaches upon the Yale eleven after the Springfield game lJast year that Yale would not meet them on the foot ball field next fall. Harvard refused to accede to this demand; conse- quently Yale and Harvard will have to content themselves with other adversaries on the gridiron. The real cause of Yale's decisive demand upon Harvard is not hard to find. Last year when the Yale eleven was stopping at a New York hotel after one of its pre- liminary games, it is said that the land- lord of the hostelry put into the hands of Mr. Frank Butterworth of this city, Yale’s famous full back, a letter which he had found in a room which had been occupied by some members of the Harvard eleven a short time before. It is declared that this letter was addressed to one of Harvard's leading foot ballists, and was signed by one of the greatest players and coaches that Harvard has ever produced. The letter summed up Harvard's chances of victory in the Yale game, amd con- cluded with the advice that there was only one way to defeat Yale and that was to cripple Frank Butterworth at the very outset of the contest. Butterworth kept this letter, and in all probability would never have said anything ‘about it had 2: the Harvard coaches, after®the Spring- eld game, rushed into print with inter- views attacking Capt. Hinkey of Yale and making all sorts of charges against him. Then Yale blood was at fever heat, and Mr. Butterworth produced the letter. It was put into the hands of the committee of Yale graduates selected to investigate the charges made against Capt. Hinkey, and which vindicated that gentleman. This letter, coupled with the statements of the Harvard coaches at Springfield, which were decided to be erroneous, after a rigid in- vestigation, led to the demand for a public apology on Harvard's part. One result of the affair has been to cause the resignation of Walter Camp, the recog- nized authority on foot ball and college sports, from the Yale athletic committee. In discussing his action Mr. Camp said: Has Had Enough of It. “It is through no diminution of my love for foot ball that I have taken this step; but simply because I do not feel that I have the time or the inclination to go into this new squabble and act as peacemaker. I did not see the game at Springfield last fall, and so I am not in a position to com- ment upon the situation. I will say this, however, that had I never seen a Yale or a Harvard team, and had only known of this situation of affairs through what I have read, I would not deem it prudent or advisable to allow the Yale and Harvard teams to meet again without some peace- making between them any more than I would consider it good spcrt for two friendly boxers to immediately engage in a@ second bout when the first one had brought blood and bad temper. I have not thought out any solution of the situatio: for, as I have already suid, I am out o! it once and for all. I spent six months last year of the very hardest and most trying kind of labor over a volume of sta- tistics and statements in defense of foot ball, I do not feel that I have any more time or energy to expend on the game. So far as the sport itself is concerned, I do not think it needs any defense, but there must be a readjustment between Yale and Harvard, in order to have the good name of foot ball, as well as the universities themselves. In a word, there must be a general peace-making that will clear the atmosphere of all rumors of personal re- criminations.” Young Griffo Indicted. The grand jury at Brooklyn has handed in an indictment in the court of sessions against “Young Griffo,” the pugilist. He is charged with a heinous crime, the accusa- tion being made by Wm. Gottlieb, son of a Coney Island dry goods dealer. Griffo is in jail in Philadelphia. The Cup Defender's Sails. Adrian Wilson, who 1s making the sails for the new cup defender, describes the sails of the new yacht. The jib topsail, he stated, will be made of ramie, the fiber of a Japan- ese plant. It is claimed that ramte ts lighter and stronger than sea island cotton, and in addition, will not stretch, shrink or mil- dew. The rest of the sails will be made of two pieces of No. 10 sea island cotton duck woven together. Mr. Wilson spoke very enthusiastically of the chances of the de- fender, and said that the American boat would surely win. DEFENDER AT THE HERRESHOFFS’ SHOP, BRISTOL, ILY Coal prices always. TUXEDO.
