OUTDOOR SPORTS Work of the University Eights at New London. ~ PRESIDENT YOUNG GETS AN UMPIRE Corneli Easily Defeats the '*Pennsy” Freshmen. cE sees FOREMAN’S GOOD PITCHING Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GALES’ FERRY, Conn., June 14, 1895. One mile down the river at Redtop are Yale's rivals from Cambridge. The quarters are tn a house built (1881) accord- ing to the plans of Mr. Watson, their pres- ent coach. There is no other house near save-that one, which the freshmen are oc- cupying. The order of the work for the boys is as follows: Called at 6:45, they breakfast at 7 o'clock. Then about 9 o'clock a short turn on the water is taken —this consists principally of individual work in short stretches—when this is over examinations follow, and a lunch at 11 of sandwiches and water. At 2 o'clock the dinner comes, and the men need no special coaching or urging. From then till 5 o'clock there are no duties. Sailing is the favorite amurement, or if not that then a trip in Mr. Cummings’ steam yacht Thyra down to New London and about the harbor. At 5 the men put out for a long ten or twelve-mile row. On return- ing tea is served. At 9 all are called out for a brisk walk, and on returning five minutes are allowed to get ready for bed. From then until the great race is one day nearer not a sound is heard about the place. Harvard’s work was badly broken up while in Cambridge, and the crew came here in poor shape. Now the men are swinging very well together, and, although they clip quite badly, they are sending the shell along at a high rate of speed—nor is the speed lessened by rushing down on their slides. Mr. Watson has given up an entire year to the supervision of the crew, and this will be a test, and probebly the final one for some time to come. between his idea of a stroke and a light crew, and Bob Crooks’ old Yale stroke and a beefy crew. Mr- Courtney, Cornell’s trainer, also had a hand in shaping the Howard stroke this year, and for that reason the outcome will he awaited with great interest.

Result of President Young's Recent ‘Trip. “Uncle Nick” Young says the umpire question is causing as much trouble in base ball circles as the free silver problem in politics. From the player’s standpoint, Tim Keefe and Bob Emslie are the only compe- tent members of the present league staff. Betts has been decapitated, and Long and Murray are thought to be the next victims marked for slaughter. “Uncle Nick” has been absent from headquarters all the week. As a result of his absence, it is un- derstood that a new member of the league staff of umpires has been selected. His rame is withheld, but he comes from the east, and it is claimed for him that he has a reputation that promises to serve him well in league company. It is essential for an umpire to secure the respect and con- fidence of the players, as well as the public. ‘There is a general complaint against um- pires standing behind the pitchers, and at- tempting to judge balls and strikes cor- rectly. Many of the most experienced players in the league declare it is an im- possibility. The umpire may say that he goes back of the pitcher to watch the sec- ond base plays. In the average game there are not a half dozen attempts to steal sec- ond, and then it is easy for the umpire to | step to the right or left of the home plate and ascertain how the play at second is made. Ewing, Mack, Tebeau, Nash and Irwin all agree that there would be less contention and dispute over bails and sirikes. CORNELL WON EASILY. Nine Lengths Ahead of the Penna. Freshmen. ‘The first annual race between the fresh- man eights of Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania was rowed yes- terday afternoon on Cayuga lake, at Ithaca, N. Y., over the two-mile course. Cornell won by nine lengths in eleven min- utes eighteen and three-fifths seconds. The air was cool ani the water without a rip- ple. The attendance was 6,500. i0 the signal was given, Pennsyl- vania taking the water first. Cornell, after a half-dozen strokes, shot ahead. Cornell rowed forty-four strokes and Pennsylvania thirty-eight. At the first half mile Cornell was then a length ahead, with Pennsylvania rowing thirty-nine strokes. Cornell passed the mile point two lengths ahead. Cornell held the stroke at forty-two to Pennsylvania's thirty-six. At the mile and one-half point Cornell had increased her advantage to five lengths, while her stroke had been increased to forty-six. Pennsylvania crossed the line thirty-two seconds after Cornell, and as soon as she reached the other side oar No. 2 caught acrab. He was apparently suffer- ing from exhaustion. CorneM “hit it” up for a considerable distance, showing no sign of fatigue. POOR TEAM WORK. Mannger Irwin's Failure With the Phillies. The Phifadelphia Times in reviewing the poor work of the Phillies blames Manager Irwin for not insisting on team work. Ir- win showed his incapacity here while man- aging the 1892 team, the best team Wash- ington has ever had, and ‘t is no surprise to see him fail in Philadelphia. He knows the science of ball playing as few do, but has poor judgment. He repeatedly tries to score a slow, heavy man from third on an infield hit, and always fails. The Times says: The responsibility rests not with the players themselves, but with the manager. Early in the spring months it was pointed out in this column that Manager Irwin would be held to strict account this vear, for the difficulties under which he labor- ed last season had been removed. Every one has been playing his own individual game without any thought of the club's Success or the patrons’ comfort. All sem- blance of team work has been thrown to the wind, and such playing as has been seen would do no credit to the veriest amateur. FAILED TO HIT FOREMAN. The Cincinnati Pitcher Effective at Critical Moments. The Washingtons fell victims to Pitcher Frank Foreman’s curves yesterday at National Park and the Cincinnatis won without trouble. Over 6,000 persons saw the game, and many loudly expressed their disagreement with the umpire’s decisions, holding that it is easier to observe base plays and to detect balls and strikes from the bleachers than from the umpire’s po- sition. The Senators lost because they could not hit safely when a hit was want- ed. There were many close decisions, but only one where the score was affected. Considerable wrangling was caused over Umpire Long's decision, giving first base to a Cincinnati batsman when the umpire himself was struck with the ball. Many of the spectators-declared that the bats- man was out. Rule dS, section 5, says: “The base runnér Shall be entitled, with- out being put out, to.take the base, if upon a fair hit, the ball ‘strikes the person or clothing of the umpire on fair ground.” The umpire gvas right.

Caylor says that the umpires are making marks of the Giants. Lynch, Betts, Long and Murray are the men accused of actually robbing the New York club of victories by outrageous decisions. Umpire Keefe, although again in harne: has not entirely recovered from the sui stroke sustained in Washington on Decora- tion day. He still has symptoms of the attack in other ways besides a loss of ap- petite. The Louisville team has so far this sea- son spent the following amounts for play- Brouthers, | $700; Col- Kemmer, $400; McCreary, $300, lins, $500; and McGann. Now Philadelphia is doing the howl act for pitchers. A nice. time to do howling. Without any fireworks, Baltimore seized Arthur Clarkson, who should prove a most valuable man. It would not have required $10,000 for Philadelphia to get that player. have got Hawley with a when it is the hardest to get the pitchers, the most money is of- fered, but when it was easiest no money was forthcoming. Isn't it funny.—Jake Morse in Sporting Life. What's the matter with the Phillies? My dear boy, this isn’t the puzzle department. Philadelphia Press, Couldn't you také them on the road for a series of one-day Stands, Arthur? And then if you were to Jose some of them en route, there would be neither wailing nor gnashing of teeth in this burg.—Philadel- phia_ Exchange. 3 Killen of the Pittsburg team, who was such an unsolvable proposition to the Bal- timore team Wednesday, is ill at Baltimore. In the game with New York on Monday Killen was spiked. The wound — w: promptly dressed and promised to speedily heal. As a result of his exertion in Wed- nesday’s game the wound reopened. Thurs- day It grew so much worse and caused Kil- such severe pain that he was compelled to go to bed. It was feared at one time that blood poisoning would set in. Rusie’s injury will greatly weaken the Giants. Anson made an error last week, after playing eighteen games without a misplay. In sixteen games he failed but once to make a hit. It is pretty hard to be hissed and jeered at cn your own grounds, but the Phillies de- serve all they got.—Philadelphia Inquirer. It will take a good team to beat Boston out this year. Arthur Clarkson says he is in the best of shape, and ready to pitch ball at once. He is glad to get to Baltimore, and believes he will prove a winner for the Orioles. Inks handles the stick very well for a pitcher. Charles H. Hoyt Js writing a base ball play, in which A. C. Anson is to take the character of “himself.” In the play Anson tries to secure the hero for his club, at first unsuccessfully. Like all good plays, it erds happily by Anson getting his man. Pitcher Woodruff, who was with the Dal- les (Tex.) Club, which was Ted Sullivan’s team, is at his home in Baltimore. He says he won twelve out of thirteen games with Dallas, and he would like a trial by the Baltimores. The Harrisburg Base Ball Club has dis- barded, because of the discouraging out- look for the payment of the salaries of the members. They had been almost fully paid to the Ist of this month, but supposing that the next pay day would not come, the men refused to play any longer. Knauss, whom ex-Manager Davis picked up as a coming phenomenal, is gone. He has been released by Scranton. Barnie says his arm is gone. Pitcher Mike Sullivan is in Boston. He has not heard from Cincinnati, although President Young has promulgated his ser- vices accepted by that club. The Louisvilles congratulate themselves that they have madé as good a record as the Cincinnatis on the trip. Rusie says he can take the Indianapolis team and, with himself as pitcher, wipe the New Yorks off the face of the earth. The Bostons will play off on Monday mcrning a game postponed from Cleveland, the consent of all the league clubs having been obtained. That day is a holiday there, eing the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. Manager Barnie of the Scranton Club, Eastern League, heard of the probable col- lapse of the Harrisburgs and engaged the services of Huston, Meaney and Eagan to strengthen his team. The Senators had hard work hitting Fore- man’s delivery on the western trip. President Reach of Philadelphia has been negotiating with the New York club. The deal involves the exchange of Hamilton for Davis. If it goes through Turner, Dela- hanty and Thompsen will remain in the outfield, Davis will go to third and prob- ably Cross will play short, or else Cross and Clements will do all the catching, and Grady or Buckley, and Rielly be traded for another pitcher, Captain Ewing doesn’t believe that “Bug” Holliday will be able to play again this season. He was operated upon for appen- dicitis. Philadelphia has Smith to Hazleton. Hamilton of Philadelphia has been laid off for indifferent work and sulking, and for the present, at least, Delahanty will remain in center field and Turner in left. Several others will be similarly disciplined unless they get down to business. Cross, who has not been inj good physical trim all season, being about fifteen pounds un- der weight, has been given a vacation at his own request. farmed out Pitcher Gan Clubs to Organize. A meeting of representatives of the gun clubs of Maryland and the District will be held at Oak Crest, Md., near Laurel, on the 29th. A large vacant hotel has been se- cured, with ample grounds, and a caterer has been engaged for the occasion. It is proposed at this meeting to get the shoot- ers together and organize the league, elect officers and arrange tournaments for the season. Membership in the league is open to all members of gun clubs in Maryland and the District of Columbia, and six men are to compete in each team race. Each club is to have a tournament on its own grounds. All events except team races are to be open to all. President H. A. Penrose of the Baltimore Shooting Association, Bal- timore, and Mr. George E. Baldwin, at Laurel, Md., have prospectuses for those who may be interested. ° SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, Great excitement was caused last night in the business portion of Monroe street, Anacostia, by Mrs. Julia Burgess, wife of Mr. John Burgess, living on Polk street near Jefferson, who, while out attending to some business, suddenly became violent- ly insane. Mrs. Burgess ran into a store screaming that some one was about to kill her. Efforts were made to quiet her, but without avail, until Mr. Burgess, who hag been speedily sent for, arrived, when Mrs. Burgess quietly accompanied her husband home. Before reaching the latter, how- ever, she again became so excited that Mr. Burgess was compelied to send to the An- acostia substation for an officer. Sergeant Anderson directed Policeman Allen to go to the house, which the latter did, and conveyed the unfortunate woman to the substation, where the officers were forced to put Mrs. Burgess in a cell in order to even partially control her. Medical aid was summoned, and physicians, with friends who heard of the sad affair and called at the station, did everything that could pessibiy be done to benefit Mrs. Bur- gess, but without good result, and she was taken to the fifth precinct. police station, so that she could be better attended to. It is expected-that Mrs. Burgess will be re- moved to St. Elizabeth’s Asylum in a day or two. Mrs. Burgess has been, it is said, acting strangely for some.time past, but no fears were entertained that she would become dangerous. Mos>s_ Holt, the twelve-year-old Ana- costia boy, who was recently turned over to Agent Lewis of the board of guard- ians, and placed by him in the industrial school, escaped last night, but was picked up in Anacostia this morning by Officer Farquhar. He will be returned to the in- stitution today. A large number of the pupils of Van Buren public school and their teachers participated in the usual annual excursion of the children to Marshall Hall today. Rev. F. M. Oyelton, the former pastor of Hillsdale A. M. E, Church, who since the adjournment of the Baltimore confer- ence last spring has been without a per- manent pastorate, has been assigned fo an important charge at Reedville, N. C., by Bishop Gaines, and left for that place to- ‘day to assume his new duties. The Reed- ville church has about twice as many members as that at Hillsdale, and the sal- ary of the preacher is in the neighborhood of $900 annually. Miss Lourenia Ovelton of Baltimore, who has been visiting relatives in Hillsdale for the past week, returned home today. The boys of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades of Brookland have been for some time drilling, preparatory to enter the High Sckool. Bradley McCormick and Charlie Ercoks went to the High School and learn- ed the tactics, and have worked hard in teaching the other scholars, so that when they join the High School Cadets they will be well up in the school of the soldier. The Soldiers’ Home public school will close June 19, with an entertainment in the G. A. R. Hall, Soldiers’ Home. The enter- tainment will be bright and witty, all the talent being by the pupils. The teachers, Miss King and Miss Walsh, have worked hard, spending much time out of school hours in arranging an attractive program. Every one could see that the national flag was well represented in Brookland. The public school was completely covered with flags of all sizes. Those who have flag poles erected on their grounds, from which the tational emblem was displayed, were Col. Juan Lewis. Capt. Baumer, Prof. Carl Burg, Mr. Roth and Dr. Franklin T. Howe, but flags hung from windows of many houses, and the village presented quite a holiday appearance. The bonfire, which is to test the merits of a fire extinguisher, will be set off on Mchday night. The people are much inter- ested in this matter, as if a fire should break out here the need of some immediate means of extinguishing the flames is ap- parent. Mr. Franklin T. Howe, jr., has returned frem a brief stay at Atlantic City. Considerable excitement was created here yesterday afternoon by two wild cows that were being driven into the city. There were lively rumors of grown people and children having been gored by the infuriatéd ani- mals, but they proved groundless. One of the cows got irito the Catholic University grounds and then jumped the fence and ran eff into the woods. The other was brought to Brookland. ———— FALLS CHURCH, Mr. Thomas Hillier, contractor, is mak- ing extensive improvements on the Block subdivision, in the construction of sije- walks, fences, ete. .

Bliss of Washington will be present and exhibit the wonders of the graphophone, and will give brief discourses on the advancement of electrical science. ‘At a meeting of citizens Tuesday evening it was decided to have a celebration on the Fourth of July. The exercises will consist of an oration, together with other appro- priate exercises and athletic sports. The Pythians will have a public installation, all to conclude with fireworks in the evening. ‘A son of Mrs. Bowers of this town, about fourteen years of age, went to the field to get a horse, when in passing behind him he received a severe kick in the stomach. His condition is still quite critical. Mr. Leonard, who was recently paralyzed, SSS SSS eee is still in a helpless condition, though re- [eahea to be somewhat improved this morn- ing. Miss Anna C., daughter of Rev. Dr. Ma- son, left town this morning for Pittsfield, Mazs., where she will spend the summer with her sister, Mrs. Richardson. Several houses are in process of erection. Mr. Gresham's house will soon be ready for occupancy. His family will be out from the city, probably within a couple of weeks, to spend the summer. HYATTSVILLE. The corporation which is about to build the new electric railway between Washing- ton and Laurel, which is now understood to be in the hands of the construction com- mittee, and will be rapidly pushed to com- pletion,does not expect,as was first thought, to do much cutting or filling of the road- Led, but will be more likely to lay tracks, as most other electric roads have done, upon the surface of the country through which it passes. If this be the case, it is thought that one of the strong objections to the Passage of the road through this village will pe overcome, since the main opposition upon the part of the people to its passage through the town was the pre- sumed necessity for the unsightly cuts and embankments. ‘The marriage of Mr. John T. Barnes and Miss Edith Burgess, both of Chillum, will take place at Rock Creek Church the even- ing of the 26th instant. Miss Gertrude Ray, a student of the Valley Female College of Winchester, Va., has returned to her home at Chillum for the vacation. At a recent meeting of Eureka Grange of Chillum there was a discussion of the subject “Poultry Raising.” The construc- tion of poultry houses, care and feeding of poultry and the relative merits of differ- ent breeds of chickens were fully discussed: There was also a dfscusston of the subject “Insects Injurious to Vegetation.” Justice Arthur Carr pf Hyattsville was admitted to membership. - The people of Hyattsville are awakening to the importance of having a reservoir and system of water works established, and it is highly probable that the next legislature will be asked for the privilege of having the town bonded for a sufficient sum to pay for these improvements. The Citizens’ Improvement Association has been discussing the question for some time, and has caused considerable interest to be manifested in it by the people. Justice Carr of that association and the town commissioners have received a report from a hydraulic engineer and constructor of water works, who has made an examina- tion of the surroundings of the town, in order to ascertain what could be done in the matter of constructing water works to supply the town with water. The re- port states that he had found on the west side of the town several springs, which when collected together formed a’ stream averaging twelve inches in width and three inches in depth, and flowing with a velocity of about twelve feet in ten seconds. These streams would furnish about 195,000 gal- lons of water in twenty-four hours, which, if they would not fail, would give a greater supply than the town would require. Another stream which might be considered a good-sized creek, is near these springs, and contains good water, which could be improved by filtrations. The waters of the stream and springs could be brought to- gether by gravity or suction and forced to an elevated reservoir placed on the hill near the town. The examinations of eleva- tions from spring situation in lowlands west of town show that from the hill spoken of to be 116 feet elevation above the spring, and that Wine avenue is 54% feet lower than the reservoir hill, and the railroad track at the depot is ‘89% feet lower than the reserveir hill. The depot at Riverdale fs 9 feet higher’than the depot at Hyattsville, the reservoir hill is 80% feet higher than the railroad depot at River- dale, and the -reservoir-hfl 15 feet higher than Baukhage's hill. Water works could be constructed that the town would be proud of, and which would also be a great protection against fire. The proposed reservoir could easily furnish water for Riverdale and the adjoining country. The town commissioners and a committee from the Improvement Association will shortly confer in regard to the matter. > KENSINGTON. The Sunday School Library Association of the St. Paul’s M. E.

From the Journal, Lewiston, Mich. : Patrick Doyle, a man more than seventy years of age, called at this office recently and gave @ remarkable account. Every one knows the nature of paralysis, and how difficult it is to cure, so that bis testimony is extremely interesting. He said: “About six or seven yenrs ago I was afflicted With inflammatory rheumatism, contracted while at work in a Manistee saw mill, and had to quit Work on that accoynt. Then came a long time of despair for me. My lower limbs Lecame numb and cold and I lost the use of them almost entirely. For a long time I was unable to stand on my, feet without support. For four years I could not think of doing any kind of werk. “I treated with many eminent doctors without deriving any benefit. I spent more than $100 in one summer for medical treatment, which failed’ te help me. The local doctors could not give me anf encouragement, and, in fact, did not know what my ailment was. I became tired of doctoring, and for a year I did nothing for my trouble, consider ing that my case was hopeless. By this time the life was gone out of my legs, and I could not bend them at all, the cords being hard as bone. The cold occasioned me great pain. I could not walk at night, and when I moved around in the day- time I had to watch the ground each step, and then could only hobble along with the use of a cane. “Hope had about gone out of my life when I read in my local paper of persons whom I knew having been cured of similar cases by Dr. Will- iams’- Pink Fills, so I tried them, and in a short time I could climb the stairs with ease, a thing I could not before do for years. I did not give them a fair trial, however, until a year ago, and after using a few boxes the life came into my Umbs and icet, and I was soon able to resume work. I can now pond my legs and straighten my back,- which I had not done for years previous to the use of the pills. I consider Inyself completely cured, and give the entire credit to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I most cheerfully recommend them to” the use of all persons afflicted with similar dis- eases."” To confirm his story beycnd all doubt Mr. Doyle made the following affidavit: Sworn and subscribed before me April 20th, 1895. FRED. H. M’MULLEN, Justice of the Peace. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the ele- ments necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattezed nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be bad by mail from Dr. .

There appears to be no doubt that Mr. Bouton will be the fortunate man. Other officers to be chosen are a town clerk, who, it is thought, will be Mr. R. W. Cox; a school beard, which, it is generally believed, will be composed of Messrs. Arthur Lewis, H. A, Money and Dr. R. D. Leith, an@ a board of road supervisors. The present board is composed of Messrs. A. C. Stotts, L. In Freeman and R. W. Cox, and it is thought they will all be re-elected. ——_>___ WASHINGTON GROVE. ’ Ex-Superintendent Dorsey has moved into the Beall cottage at the station. His place has béen filled by Mr. H. W.

James Pyle of New York, the manufac, turer of the celebrated Pearline washinj ccmpound, is now erecting a handsome an towering warehouse on the n.w. corner of Washington and Charlton streets, N. ¥. city. This building is a magnificent monu- ment to the power of advertising skillfully directed, in connection with an article of real merit. Although James Pyle established the firm over forty years ago, Pearline has been its staple trade for little more than 18 years, Mr. Pyle was at that time convinced that he had a meritorious article and believed that, by putting it before the public in a proper manner, a need for its use would be recognized and a fine business built up in corsequence. A limit was set, with the idea that should the sales of Pearline reach a certain amount he would be thoroughly satisfied, This limit of satisfaction was so far from being too high, that at present and for years past, from twelve to fifteen times hie} expected volume of yearly business teen done by Mr. Pyle. The need for larger space and greater ac- ccmmodations to fit this wonderful growth has been felt for a considerable time past PEARLINE’S NEW HOME. end this new building 1s designed to meet the want. It is ten stories high, of granite, prick and steel, the lower three stories bes ing of granite, and the upper seven of brick with granite trimmings. The building ig absolutely fireproof, floors throughout bes ing of asphalt and the roof of gravel ani tile. Five elevators will supply ample facil- ities for passengers and freight. It would be difficult to find a structure so admirably adapted for the uses to which the ownerg have decided to put it. Nearly eight city lots are covered by the building, and it 1g visible from Sandy Hook, Yonkers, Jersey, City Heights and points between. When Pearline was first put upon the market, soap makers throughout the coun- try laughed at the idea of any washing compound, however good, supplanting the old-fashioned soap. Events have, however, proved them in error, for Pearline has bo- ccme a household word throughout the length and breadth of the country, and most soap makers are now striving for a shing compound trade. ree course of a year nearly forty mil~ Mons of packages of Pearline are consumed in the United States. Such figures as these stun the imagination in its efforts to realize uncon the last few years Mr. James Pylo bas been assisted in the business by his sons, James T. and W. S. Pyle.
