SAY, LATE SPORTING NEWS LOCALS’ GOOD WORK. The Senators Were Strengthened and Have Won in Consequence. Boston made the best record of the Na- tional Base Ball League during the past week, winnirg four and losing one game, and jumping from sixth to second place. Chicago, Pittsburg, New York and Brook- lyn each won four games out of six, and Cleveland and Washington won three out of five. Baltimore and St. Louis split even, winning and losing three each, while Cin- cinnati won one out of five, and poor Louis- ville one cut of six, and that was from Washingtcn. ‘Phe playing of the local team since its return from the west has satisfied the local patrons, and, while they are not, iike the mariger, indulging in hopes of the cham- Pionship over the gaining of a few games, yet they can see that the policy ef strergthening the team tdvocated a year ago by The Star has been vindicated. A year ago the nine was steadily losing &ames because of weakness at short and seccnd. Manager Schmelz was urgently advised in this column to strengthen those two places. The advice was unheeded, and the club's trip resulted in the disaster that every one expected. Instead of strengthen- ing the team, the manager blamed the um- pires for his defeats, and many jokes were evacked at his expense. The advi ne- glected last year has been followed this year. Crooks, who was suggested by The Star-a year ago for second base, was se- cured, and, after dropping game after game through incompetsnts at s man was engaged and p! apparent at the beginning of the season that a different policy would be pursued this year, It was apparent that Mr. Earl Wegner had asserted himself. He an- nounced that no local players would be sold, and he reasserts the same thing now. ‘The Star said on the opening day that the Yocal team should stand higher than last year. With intelligent management this prediction is likely to prove true. BETTER BATTERS THAN FIELDERS. H Relative Rank of the Clubs of the National League. ‘According to the latest collection of club | and players’ averages, Washington stands eleventh in club fielding and ninth in club batting.

Bonner has proved a failure as a utilit¥y man, owing to his in- ay to play any ‘Position except second ie. Manager Hanlon had no hope that Ktsin- ger would be of any use to the club this year.

The departure of Bonner means that Gieason will be de- pended upon for general uttiity. LOST THEIR LAU ‘CH. Cornell's Conching Bout is Destroyed by ‘Fire. The Cornoll navy met with a severe loss Saturday night, at Ithaca, N.Y. About 11 o'clock flames were seen down at the inlet where the buat house is located. 7A little later the fire alarm was sounded and the students and townspeople on rushing there found the “Cornell,” the new launch of the Cornell navy, on fire. It was hastily drawn from its house, but not until too late to save it, and both boat and house were totally destroyed. The boat house, which stood about a hundred yards away, was not injured. ‘The blow falls very heavy just now, as the Pennsylvania-Cornell freshmen race takes place Friday, and the boat was in constant requisition for coaching both the freshman and the American crews. The crews, under the charge of Assistant Coach White, were out somewhat later than usual Saturday evening, and when they came in, about 8 o'clock, the launch was place] in its house, and the engineer, as he supposed, put the fire out entirely. It fs evident, however, that the woodwork, in close proximity to the firebox and pro- tected only by a sheet of asbestos, became overheated and the fire resulted. The launch was constructed last fafl un- der the personal supervision of Coach Courtney, and is the finest crew launch owned. by any college. Its speed is seven- teen miles. It was used this spring for coaching for the first time. The Cornell navy was in- debted for it to Shear, ‘74, and Hagerman, ‘91 The cost wes abcut $6,000, Fortunate- ly an insurance of $3,500 was carried on the launch as well as $590 on the house,and it is probable that steps will be tak: immc- diately to raise the money necessary for a new boat.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 10.--The man- egers of the Yale, Harvard and Columbia navies have decided upon Wednesday, June 26, as the date for the annual triangular freshmen race at New London. The time of the day is not yet decided upon, but the race will be rowed within two hours of flood tide. The Yale freshman crew will go to New London on Wednesday, aceom- panied ty a tutor, who will administer the final examinations. Capt.

NEW YORK, June 10—The national board of the Base Ball League met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel tcday. Among the questions to be considered by the board are the ultimate disposal of Cross of the Pitt urgs, Everett of Chicago and several other players. It was openly hinted that all Is not sat- isfactery with the present staff of umpires. Equaily strong were the intimations con- cerning a probable change in the National League circuit. The disgrac: 1 row at the polo grounds on Saturday will also come up for consid- era n, and it is known that the board spoke its mind,to the Pittsburg club. President Robison of the Clevelands and President Hart of Chicago were before the board during the morning. THE CALIFORNIANS’ SUCCESS. Triumphal Progress of the Athletes From the Pacifi CHICAGO, June 10.—The Record today prints the following: The athletic meet next Saturday’ between Chicago Athletic Association team and that of the Univer- sity of California will be the grand finale of western athletics for the season of 18:5. In more than one respect the season has been one of the most successful the college world of the west-has ever enjoyed. Rec- ords of all kinds ‘have beer treated with utter disregard for .conventfonalities, and even the east, which has always claimed superiority in college athletics, has had a chance to see what kind of athletes the west can produce: |Crums, in the Mott Haven contest, took the east by storm, and after a feeble, protest the best au- thorities on athletics in the country admit that the Hawkeyes’ sprinter has, so far as known, no superior in America. Cali- fornia’s trip will probably have a beneficial influence in stimulating intercollegiate con- tests between the eastern and western col- leges. = The trip of the Sanset men Is unprece- dented in amateur athletics, and the won- derful showing they: have made after hav- ing traveled thousands of miles will fill an interesting page in amateur athletic history. Taking into account also that the team Was composed of only eleven men the record made by Capt. Koch and associates becomes the more interesting. In the Mott Haven games the visitors took fourth place, and with no pole vauiters tied the Pennsyl- vania team, The rest of the trip for the team resemblés a triumphal march. Prince- ton, Union, Tlinois and the western int collegiate championships were taken, and there is a strong likelihood that they may be successful against the strong men of the Chicago Athletic Association next Sat- urday. Georgetown Nine’s Record. Georgetown lost only to Princeton. In every other game played she was victorious, though the fact that she did not meet Har- yard, Brown, or, as yet, Cornell, mars the fine record. She has played in all sixteen games and won fourteen. Her fine batting i “4 talent is her great s' though Mike Mahoney, her giant pitcher, is in a class by himself, without a peer save Carter. Even then Carter has not pitched ia form this year, so that Mahoney may claim un- disputed pre-eminence.—Philadelphia Times, Amateur Base Ball. The “Mighty Sluggers” met the Sham- rocks yesterday and were defeated by a gcore of 10 to 8. Today at 4:30 o’clock the Blakes will cross bats with the Shamrocks at Capitol Park, admission free.

Nearly 3,000 people attended the National Cireult bicycle tournament, under the au- spices of the Clinton-Lancaster Athletic Association, at Clinton, Mass., Saturday afternoon. W. F. Sims of this city finished second in the one and two mile open, class B, and third in half-mile handicap (with fifteen yards), class B, and third in one- mile handicap, with forty yards. The fall stakes of $2,000 each, which the Pimlico Club. proposed giving, have been declared off because of the small lot of entries. The Hawthorne track management at Chicago has announced that the program of races scheduled for today will uot be run. No reason for this announcement was given, but Mr. John Brenock, one of the partners, said that there would be no more racing until the legislature at Springfield gave them a bill under which they couid operate. He also stated they had been racing at an immense loss the past week. The golf match between the Meadow- brook team of Long Island and the Phila- delphia team of Philadelphia, at_ Bala, Saturday, resulted in_a victory for the Meadowbrook team. Score—Meadowbrook, 19; Philadelphia, 11 1-4. Kirkwood Driving Park Association of Syracuse has offered $3,000 for Zimmerman and Johnson to race at Syracuse, the race to take place three weeks from time of signing articles of agreement. No reply has been received from Zimmerman re- garding the offer of Grand Rapids, Mich., Trotting Association for_a race between him and Johnson on Juiy 5, for Lis It has been decided to hold the boat race at Poughkeepsie, at 5 p.m., on June 21. The race will be down the river, starting from a point, three miles north of the Poughkeepsie bridge and finishing one mile south of it. A line of small boats will mark the course and keep excursion steamers off. Yale won the intercollegiate champion- ship Saturday by defeating Princeton in the second game of their annual serics by the score of 9 to 8. The game was witness- ed by fully 5,000 people, many of them coming from New York and Philadelphia. There was war at the Polo Grounds, New York, Saturday.» In the third inring Manager Doyle protested so vehemenily against a decision of the umpire that he Was ordered out of the game. In the fiith Wilson, in tieing the score, spiked Killen and knocked the ball out of his hands. Killen retaliated and swung his right #t Wiison without landing, and New York's -atcher came back In the same way, ulso missing. During all the confusion the yelled like mad, and the New York players all rushed to the plate. The police captain finally decided that it was time to call a halt. He walked to the plate and ordered the New York players to the bench, ———— THE GOLDEN CROSS.

Bernard Smith Drowned. Bernard Smith, about forty-one years of age, was drowned yesterday morning op- posite this city.

Mim’s alley, which runs from Columbus to Alfred street between Cameron and Queen, hag become very noto-*vus of late, and Saturday night Charles Gray and Charles Wingfield got into a row, which resulted in Gray having his lower lip bitten off and Wingfield getting a razor swipe across the face. The fuss started about a dusky maiden, whom, it appears, both were admiring without letting each other know anything about it. The testi- mony in the case, which was tried before the mayor this morning, showed that both were at fault; though Gray seems to have gotten the worst of it, for he offered to produce from his pocket his lower lip, which, he claimed, Wingfield had bitten cff. Both men were fined by the mayor, Gray being assessed $20 for concealed Weapons and $10 for assault, while Wing- fieid was fined $20 for his share in the affray. Tickets Will Be Necessary. Father Henry Cutler of St. Mary’s Cath- olic Church yesterday announced that all persons desiring to attend the dedication services of that church next Sunday who were not regular pew holders would have to secure a ticket of admission from him, which they could get by applying at the parsonage at any time during the com- ing week. The dedication sermon will be preached by Bishop Van de Vivyver of Richmond. In the evening at o'clock grand vespers will be held, at which a violin solo by Miss Mai Greenwell, assisted by Prof. Dunn, will be rendered. Police Court Proceedings.
