THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1895—TWENTY PAGES. 18 LOCAL RIVALRIES As Developed in Texas by the Pro- posed Fistic Contest. THE CORBETT-FITZSIMMONS BOUT Situation in the Lone Star State Described by W. G. Sterrett. SOME NOTABLE EVENTS ORBETT AND Fitzsimmcns have t lately been engaging my attention,” ob- rved Wm. Green errett of Texas to a writer for The Star. “I've just re- turned from New York city, where I stood by and repre- sented, as it were, wy state while the business _ prelimina- ries between these two eminent pugilists and the Texas peo- ple who are putting up for the fight were Brranged. It is all settled and secure. The battle will come off at Dallas October 31. The purse will practically be $30,000. It is stated as $41,000, but $2,000 will be paid to train the men. There is no doubt but the fight will be a ‘go.’ There is a sentiment against the scrimmage, as there always is against violent, set encounters between men; but the business feeling will favor Proceeding with the game. It is expected that it will land 300,000 in Texas, which we'll run our brand on before it gets away. “Do Corbett and Fitzsimmons want to fight? I should say they did. They use bad language whenever they hear each other's name and exhibit every proof of a rabid hostility. I spoke to Mr. Fitzsim- mons when I saw him in New York the other day. “So you are willing to fight Mr. Cor- bett?” I remarked, merely to test his tem- per. ““Pight the duffer!’ said Mr. Fitzsim- mons. ‘Say, I'll fight him for 10 cents in an ash barrel. That's how bad I want to Bet at Corbett.’ “I regarded this as satisfactory, and told Mr. Fitzsimmons so. He followed these assuran with a perfect freshet of pro- fanity, which he meant, no doubt, for mak ght and to add to the general proof touching his hostility to Mr. Corbett. However, it wasn't needed. I could see he abhorred Mr. Corbett and thirsted to pul- verize nim. Worries the Corbett People. “This Mr. Fitzsimmons has the Corbett pesple more or less scared. They think Mr. Corbett will put him out, but their confidence doesn't soar beyond 100 to S5 on Mr. Corbett, which would not repre- sent the difference in their weights. I took a good look at Mr. Fitzsimmons when he didn't know it. I don't wonder he worries B and the other Corbett folk. I wa't- ed until Mr. Fitzsimmons had turned his attention to something else, for I didn’t Wont to embarrass him, and then I sat dewn and looked at him for ten minutes. He is as narrow between the eyes as a krife. His head is about the size—maybe a trifle bigger—of a marrowfat pea. All he knows is fight.

But, to return to orbett and Fitzsimmon: Jealous of Dallas, “There ts only one chance to face in pull- ing off the proposed fight, and that is the narrow jealousy of Galveston and San An- terlo. This latter camp can’t say much frem a moral point, because aside from the amo, Where Crockett, Bowie and Travic ed, S: Antonio's chief boast is that she had a fight between a lion and a bull. To my opinion it was an excessively Cheap- John affair. Bulls are by no means a luxu- ry in Texas. They are within the reach of the most humble pu Lions are not so rife; but this particular animal was a back numer, job lot lion tnat the San Antonio sperts had picked up at some fire sale, and about iuable and as vicious as a tom- cat. But Sin Antonie always tells stran- gers abort her terrific combat between ‘The Pride of the Pampas,’ mean: the bull, ingle Monarch,’ meaning the lion. 1 about that fight and put s for years on account of it; and accusxd the Dallas people of being too n in and parsimonious, too short on spirit, to buy @ lion and have a ‘or Galveston, which the natives call on,’ st "t in any better shape a ki ntonio. Any- an envy on the her. ‘on has on two occ; her own 7 on Pat Sheedy ly way, ame he turns to the front of the stage Sullivan would be so with any local gentleman with him three ri ds, three min ch, with pillows, that he yould swell his fortunes with a present of $00. There were a ‘ge number of folks in the audienc® who, while not hating Marx, after all did not need him, and were | | ing he should die, and who t Sheedy ceased yelled: ‘Marx! He Tackled Sullivan. “Thus called for Marx was weak enough to go upon the stage for the three rounds. Marx appeared, wearing his own proper trousers turned up at the bottoms and girt about his waist by his galluses. He wanted to show the public that he was simply an everyday fighter, in sympathy with the common people, and so declined the loan of Pete McCoy's tights as being likely to produce a local impression that he was putting on style. Sullivan wore green stockings and a pair of pants made out cf the American flag, and was loudly cheered fur his patriotism. This is the way Marx told me the story of the fight: ““Through the first round,’ said Marx to me in confidénce, ‘the big brute didn’t do a thing. He acted like he couldn't lift his arms. He had the lonesomest hands I ever see. They didn’t visit me onct. I thcught his arims was lead or maybe he vi drunk! I went to me corner I says to Marxy, me boy, that dub can’t and I made up my mind to Hck him. At first I thought I'd lick him in the second round, but I remembered I had friends in the audience who wanted to see a good time, so I decided to have fun with Sullivan in the second round and kill him in the third. I goes through the second round rapping and tapping me man, when and where I liked, and me friends yalling with delight. While I was waiting for the third round I began to figure on how I'd spend the $500 the big muff was going to give me and wondered why I'd never found out I was a fighter before. “‘We had just stepped up for the third round ard I was getting ready to drop me man, when suddenly, and as if by ac- cident, Sullivan hit me a slap with his left hand on the side of the face that sorter stood me on my heels, and before I got back to my feet he smashed me with his right hand and me light went out. It was like I'd run against the pole of a dray. “‘Just before I went up for the third round I noticed it was 10 o'clock. When I came to myself I asked the nurse at the hospital what time it was, and she said: ‘Half-past twelve.’ “So all I got out of the go was two hours and a half sleep.’ The Pride of Galveston. “After Marx came to grief,” continued Mr. Sterrett, “Galveston, with her eye in- sultingly on Dallas, reared up a fighter, whose first name was Herman, but whose last I've forgotten all about, except that it was very provincial. They used to tell in the Galveston papers about this fighter they had, and call him the ‘Pride of Gal- veston’ and ‘Local Ajax’ and things like that. This man was put up to fight Mr. Creedon when he first came from Austra- lia. The local papers wrote columns about ‘How Herman Trains,’ and ‘What Herman Eats,’ and told how far he could run, and how often he smote the bag, and skipped the rope, and how he wrestled with a bear. “Well, I'll tell you what happened to Herman, ‘The Pride of Galveston’ and the “Terror of the Gulf.’ From this point the story of Herman is brief and sad. The day came and the Galveston papers had six men each present to report the combat, and it lasted just ten seconds. Mr. Cree- don strolled up to “he Pride of Galves- ton’ and did something which experts called ‘a short-arm blow,’ and which, it seemed, Mr. Creedon had brought with him from Sydney for just such men as ‘The Terror of the Gulf,’ and that settled it. Herman was knocked out in ten seconds. The papers which had arranged to fill four columns with the fight had to write about Romans and the gladiators and Greece and the Olympic games. The story of Herman’s fight didn’t make a stick, and was padded at that. Of course Galveston’s pride was wounded and Dallas laughed at her, and Galveston has loathed Dallas ever since. Fitzy is Foxey. “Now, Galveston and San Antonio are going to decry this Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, and call it ‘brutalizing’ and howl for the governor to stop it. But he won't, be- cause he can’t. There ain't any law to stop it with. “Mr. Fitzsimmons is already training. He was drinking a little when I saw him, but he’s quit. And he’s got that suspicious he won't eat a thing his wife doesn’t cook for him. He won't drink a glass of water she doesn’t get for him. I talked with ex- perts, and they say Mr. Fitzsimmons, while he doesn’t take any interest In the financial question and hasn't the mind to cope with tariff as a science, is as tricky as a wolf when he fights. Given a little luck, they say, and he'll do Corbeft in a canter. Brady was anxious to have Steve O'Donnell box with Mr. Fitzsimmons at Mr. Dempsey’s re- "cent benefit so as to draw him out and get onto his system. But Mr. Fitzsimmons was too much of a fox. “On October 31 this fight will come off. I'm satisfied it will be a good one, worth seeing. Few will complain when all is over. Of course, there are people who are always eager to see a man killed who will go away disappointed. A man who thinks he can witness a homicide for $1 a seat asks too much. Such will be turned away unsatisfied. As a Dallas man, I am glad this great event is arranged. I shall at- tend it in person. On the Ist of next No- vember Dallas may rear her proud head and begin to look down on Galveston, with the Marx fizzle and her Herman flat-out, and San Antonio, with her bull-and-lion hippodrome. =e BLISTERED HER FEET. A Man Who Used Fly Plasters to Keep His Wife Home. From the Brooklyn Eagle. “I put blisters on her feet, judge, to keep her in the house, but even then she went out,”” said John Woods of Eagle street in ccurt, while appearing against his wife, Catherine, whom he charged with being an habitual drunkard. After the examination Mr. Woods de- scribed how he blistered his wife's feet to areporter. “I told my wife,” he said, “that she would have to stay in the house, if she would not stop drinking. I was willing to care for her in the house, but I didn’t want her to be found intoxicated on the streets and cause me a good deal more trouble than if she stayed at home, She insisted upon going out. I tried to have her stay in by doing everything I could think of. “Finally the idea of blistering her feet came into my head. I heard of it twenty years ago as being used to keep people in bed when the doctor or their folks didn’t want them to walk around. I bought a couple of fly plasters in a drug store. When I returned from the store my wife was lying on the bed, intoxicated. I slip- ped off her shoes and stockings and put a plaster on each of her feet without arous- ing her. Twenty minutes later I removed the plasters. The soles of her feet were covered with blisters. A few hours after- ward she got up and walked around as usual and then went out. It’s impossible to keep that woman in the house.” —_—_ + e-+—____ A Feat Worthy of Sandow.

IMPORTANCE OF THE HENLEY CONTEST The Fast Stroke Against the Long Slower One. A TEST OF GREAT INTEREST USE Atta. s time the thoughts of every American lov- er of aquatic sports, and many others, too, for that matter, are turned to Eng- land, where, on July 9-11, two representa- tive crews of this land are to measure blades and strokes with the pick of England over the world-famous Hen- ley course. Indeed, the year 1895 will be a memorable one in aquatics, for, besides this test of brawn and muscle, the yacht race next September between Defender and Vaikyrie 111 will, if everything fulfills as now predicted, be the greatest sailing race ever recorded in history. But the debut of the fast eight-oared crew of Cor- nell University on the Henley course is now the absorbing theme among oarsmen and until the day of the races nothing else wilk be thought of among patriotic Ameri- cans who desire to see the plucky sons of Cornell add luster and fame to their coun- try, their university and to themselves. Every lover of amateur sports In America cannot but feel proud of them, for tn spite of obstacles at home they have pushed forward and are claimed to be the fastest crew that ever represented an American college. In vain have they appealed to the winners of the Yale-Harvard race to give them a chance to show them their speed; so they have been forced to go abr®ad to meet worthy foemen, and at Henley they will have that opportunity, for they race the strong eight of the Leander Club—a crew made up of six members of the winning Oxford eight and two from Cambridge. Britons regard the Leander crew as some- thing beyond the possibility of defeat, for it is recorded that not once has this crew been forced to lcwer its colors at the Hen- ley. Light Crew and Fast Stroke. The Cornell crew have been in constant training for serveral months, under the skillful eye of Charles Courtney, their coach, and it goes without saying that the crew must be an exceedingly fast one or else cunning Courtney would never have allowed them to go to England. The crew is exceedingly light, far too light say the critics of England. but, as they pull the rapid and never ceasing forty-six Courtney stroke, the inventor of that purely Ameri- can use of slide, recover and firish knows the advantage of a light, wiry, never-give-up crew. The fame of Courtney will rise or fall by this Henley regatta, for in late years the idea has been to take up the long-reaching, slower English stroke. Yale, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and tha Naval Academy crews are using the English stroke, by some called the “Cook,” while Courtney adheres to his fast stroke, and every crew he has coached clings to the style, a form easily discerned on the Potomac river, as both the Potomac and Columbia clubs, who have had Courtney as coach, still instruct their new recruiis in his style. It is a spurt stroke all the time, and Hamilton, the youngster of the Cornell crew, who has been setting the stroke, can strike a pace of forty-eight and keep it clean and as true as the slower English stroke for the entire racing dis- tance. At a recent trial on Cayuga lake, on a spurt finish, Hamilton jumped the stroke to fifty-two, and the crew follawed his lead perfectly, Just as if they were pushing the methodical forty-six stroke that Courtney says they must row for the mile and 350 yards, reserving the last 200 yards of the race for a more rapid finish. A Test of Strokes. This race, therefore, will be the best test of the American style of rowing as against that of the English, for unquestionably the crews will be the strongest the two coun- tries possess, both typical representatives of their lands, exponents to a degree of the style and form of each, hence the out- come will demonstrate more than ever the relative qualities of the two styles of row- ing. Every oarsman of this country who has had the various styles instilled into him by different coaches will await the result most anxiously, and as the mejority ad- here to the rapid stroke of their country they have pinned their faith to Cornell, and, if it wins, then farewell to the Henley, Oxford and the so-called “Bob” Cook stroke that some have beer trying to introduce in this country. Quarters of the Crew. Cornell crew is now at Henley, and though the English critics generally are against it, the crew is making a favorable im- pression among the oarsmen. It is train- ing some distance from Henley, and the fact, as pointed out by Atkinson, the aquatic authority of England, is apparent that it is the most formidable foreign crew that has ever entered for the grand challenge. Here in Washington there fs a large con- tingent of Cornell graduates, and naturally there is the keenest anxiety over the re- sult; and, besides, there is that strong American feeling that wants to see Amer- ican pluck conquer the beefy Britishers every time. Besides this, there is a Wash- ington boy in the crew, Mr. Geo. P. Dyer, son of Lieut. Dyer of the navy, now sta- tioned at Annapolis, and this makes the in- terest here all the stronger. The crew, as selected Saturday last by Coach Courtney, is as follows: Bow, F. B. Mathews, '96, Buffalo, N. Y.; No. 2, E. O. Spillman, ’7, Tonawanda, N. Y.;_ Ni E. C. Hagger, '95, Buffalo, N. ¥.; No. 4, F. W. Freeburn, 7, Ithaca, N. ¥.; No. 5, Thomas Fennell, Elmira, N. ¥.; No. 6, George P. Dyer, Washington, D. C.; No. 7, C. A. Lewis, ‘97, Brooklyn, N. Y.; stroke, Tom Hamilton, Washington, Ontario; coxswain, F, B. Col- ston, Buffalo, N. Y. The Argonauts, The other American crew that will visit Henley this year is the Argonaut crew of Toronto, Canada, at present the American champion four-gared crew, a title it has won the past two years against the cream of crews of this country. It is a wonder- fully fast crew, and is as follows: R. G. Munty, 1; F. H. Thompson, 2; E. A. Thomp- son, 8, and G. A. Munty, stroke. The people of Canada feel that they will win the Stewards’ cup, holding that when their crew rowed for it in 1885 they lost by a fluke. They, like the Cornells, adhere to the fast stroke, and kave been coached by the famous sculler, Edward Hanlan. These are the two American crews that early in July will meet the pick of England, and whose ambition has the applause of all Americans. The Henley Regatta. The Henley regatta was inaugurated in 1839, has come to be by all odds the great- est aquatic event of the year in England, equaling in popular enthusiasm the annual race between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge earlier in the season. From ev- ery part of England the people flock to the course. Of course, Americans are mostly interested In the grand challenge cup for | ndoubtedly the greatest event of and which r: has been held uninterruptedly since 1 but there are also many other events. The course was formerly somewhat over a mile and a quarter against a current. It fpcluded a sharp turn, and the disad- vantage of the outside position was great. The stream is so narrow that not more than three crews can row at once. Fouls were common, though In all the races only two winning crews in the grand challenge were ever disqualifled for fouling. In 1881 Cornell te sent a four- cared crew over, but securing the outside position failed to do itself justice, owing to the great handicap of wind and current. In a race with Hertford College the Cor- nells were badly steered and twice ran into the bank, h juts ‘ouf unexpectedly here But in 1985 the Henley stewards, with the approval of parliament, improved the course by Slicing off a bit cf the bank, damming the river to lessen the current, and increased the distance to one mile 550 yards, and it is now much better. The drawback is the width, only 130 feet; hence cnly three crews can Start in a heat. Amateur Oarsmen, Before Cornell could pass muster and be admitted affidavits had to be submitted showing that each member of the crew had never “earned” a dollar as an artisan. Here, in America, many would be debarred from rowing as amateurs under the En- glish interpretation of the rules. Ever since 1878, when the champion Shoewae- caemette crew of the Mississippi Vall Asscciation visited England, and the ste ards learned that one member of the crew worked w'th his hands for a living, for- eign entries have had to be submitted much earlier than English,in order to prove the status of the oarsmen. HARVARD IMPROVING RAPIDLY, But Yale is Still the Favorite for the Big Race. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW LONDON, Conn., June 21, 1895. This week nature has favored the oars- men decidedly. For the last three days the crews have been able to use the course at least once a day, and they have had no trouble in finding plenty of good water in sheltered coves. Since examinations are over the work has been increased, and from now on they will devote all their mental, as well as bodily, energy to row- ing. The trips of the launches to New Lon- don have been given up during the after- noon. Harvard went over the regular course again this morning. The conditions were about as good as it is possible to get on the Thames: tide running out strong and scarcely any wind. The boat did not run very evenly at first, and there was some splashing, but soon the men settled down and did very good work. The stroke was between and 34. When the men crossed the finish they did not seem exhausted. The time made was a little under 23 min- utes, almost a minute better than they did It in last night. Considering the conditions it was not fast. But when a Yale or Har- vard crew goes over the course In daylight you cannot place much reliance on the time. ‘They know well that watches are recording the speed, and it seems to be thelr delight to attempt to deceive the pub- lic and each other. Now, today Harvard could have clipped over a minute off the time made {f Mr. Watson had only said the word. Their work has shown great im- provement,especially in the watermanship, and they’ have demonstrated beyond a doubt that they can keep up that long back stroke for four miles. With the Freshmen, Mr. D. F. Jones,’92,has been assisting Mr. Kidder in handling the freshmen. The bad break between seven and eight has been remedied, and the lap has been lengthened by more carefully running their slides. This morning they went over the two-mile course in ten minutes twenty-six seconds, under the same conditions as the ‘varsity did their four-mile stretch. This is exceed- ingly fast time, and pretty surely indicates that they will win the triangular race. Their rivals, the Yale youngsters, have made a very poor showing. Bob Cook and Percy Bolton have left the ‘varsity to do their own coaching, and have given the freshmen their undivided attention. It is an unheard of thing to have Bob Cook spend anything more than an occasional half hour with freshman crews. Yet for two days he has spent most of the morning end the entire afternoon giving them pair oar work. This, of course, has had its ef- fect on their work, but it. hardly scems that the brace has come in time. They hung on the catch badly at first, and to remedy this the stroke has ‘been raised to nearly forty per minute. They have cone this without shortening their slides any, and now the shell is running well, and the catch is much quicker. It would be impos- sible, however, to keep up this stroke for two miles and’ rowing otherwise in accord- ance with the Bob Cook style. They have not done any work on time as yet, but the chances are that tomorrow they will. ‘The crews on a whole are rapidly round- ing into that finished form which is char- acteristic of the great race. It must be conceded that Harvard is improving the more rapidly, but Yale had fewer points to correct, and they haven't gone back- ward any. Harvard followers are begin- ning to gain confidence in their crew, and it now looks as if there would be a large representation to cheer their men on the 28th. ——— Transfers of Real Estate.

PACES THEY MIGHT PLAY ty do they call the players on the Whington club ‘the Senators?’ ” inquired Senator Smith of New Jersey, as he sat in the grand stand at National Park last week, an interested spectator in a game be- tween the Washington and Cincinnati clubs. The writer, sitting next the New Jersey Senator, having heard the legend, repeated it for the benefit of the dis- 2 ball enthusiast. Several years ago, when the Washington club was a member of the Union Associa- tion, which included teams from Boston, Cincinnati, Baltimore and four other cities, the local club established a base ball park on a vacant lot just opposite the north wing or Senate side of the Capitol, bounded by New Jersey and Indiana avenues and B street northwest. During the long ses- sions of the Senate members of that digni- fied body frequently sat on the portico over- looking the grounds and viewed the games. It was so convenient that many of them often secured a pair—a parliamentary ex- cuse for being absent—and went over to the ball park and occupied seats in the grand stand, where they could obtain a closer line on the game. Owing to the close proximity of the ball park to the Senate chamber, a local writer one day referred to the Washington team as “the Senators.” The name has stuck to them ever since. When the Hewetts moved the club out to the North Capitol Street Park, there, als vas the local team called “the Senators. When Earl Wagner bought out the control of the club, the old famillar name, “the Senators,” went with the deal. So the Washington club is known throughout the base ball world as the “Senators.” This Little flow of reminiscence app2ared to interest the jolly Senator from New Jer- sey, and as he looked around him he recog- nized among the crowd in the grand stand several of his colleagues, including Sena- tors Dubois of Idaho, Proctor of Vermon Roach of North Dakota, Senator Murphy of New York and Senator Gorman. of Maryland, They were all as intently watch- ing the game as the most pronounced “rooter’—a special brand of patrons of the national game. once played base ball,” remarked Sen- ator Smith, and his round, full face flushed with pride at the recoilection of the days when he was not such a heavy weight, and used to caper arcund on the inlleld of a college team down” in Delaware. “Yes,” he continued, “I used to play short stop, and I was regarded as one of the best men of my day in that position. A Senatorial Nine. “There 1s Senator Gorman, over there,” added Senator Smith, pointing to where the distinguished Maryland Senator was sitting, ‘he used to be a ball player, also. There are a number of Senators now in Congress who were once first-class ball players, so they tell me. Last summer, during that long fight over the tariff bill, Senators Murphy, Hill, Allen of Nebraska, Dubois and several others became almost regular attendants at the National Ball Park. One day we were sitting in the cloak room discussing base ball, while one of our associates was making a long-wind- ed speech to empty benches and a few ‘sit- ters’ in the galleries. I was surprised to learn how many of my colleagues were familiar with and had played the game. I proposed to get up a team of United States Senators. I simply wanted to get a list lo see what sort of a team I might organize. nator Gray of Delaware became so entht siastic on the subject that he actually sug- gested that we get up a game with a team composed of members of the House, and let the proceeds go to some charitable institu- tion. Of course I would not entertain such a proposition seriously, but I managed to get together a pretty good team. That is, providing they all told me the truth about their playing ability.” Where They Might Play. In making up the team Senator Smith says he stationed his men in the positions they played most frequently in their boy- hood days, Senator Allen of Nebraska, the populist, who made the longest speech in the history of the Senate, was assigned to catch, as that was his home position when attending the Upper Iowa University. Sen- ator Irby, who is a great lover of base ball, was pitcher because he once occupied that position on_a country team down in South Carolina. Senator Gray of Delaware was once first baseman for a Princeton team. He would make a model first baseman, for he is the tallest member of the Senate. Senator Gorman of Maryland, who once played second base on the famous National Club, that had its home in the White Lot, back of the President’s house, was, of course, stationed at second bag. Senator Hill of New York says he used to play third base for a team at Elmira, so the in- field was completed, with the exception of short stop. Senator Smith says he used to play that position for a little club in Del- aware, so that left only the outfield to be provided for. Senator Dubols was a Yale man, and Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and Wolcott of Colorado were both play- ers on a Harvard team, so they were sta- tioned in left, center and right fields re- spectively. Senator Hansbrough, who was a base ball reporter on a San Francisco paper, and Senator Roach of North Da- kota,.who once played on the Georgetown University team, were put down as substi- tutes. enator Smith says he had much fun dis- cussing the merits of his players and the games they proposed to play, and it was amusing how earnestly some of the Sena- tors talked of their performances on a base ball field. For several weeks it was a daily tcpie of conyersation among the base ball men of the Senate, when the debates in the Senate chamber were uninteresting. SAW SHOWALTER PLAY. The Chess Champion Carries on Six- teen Gumes at Once. Mr. J. W. Showalter, chess champion of the United States, gave an exhibition of simultaneous play at the rooms of the Washingtcn Chess Club last night. His oppenents were Messrs. Hawkins, O’Far- rell, Hanna, Gwyer, Bitzer, Harris, Davis, Chase, Hooe, Cooley, Usina, Rainer, Wal- ker, Carr, Pattison and Sprague. Mr. Showalter took the white and moved from board. He is a quick player and kept the games going at a good pace. Four Washington men won from the expert— Messrs. Hawkins, Pattison, Gwyer and Hanna. Mr. Sprague was the last man de- feated, closing the contest at 12:30 o'clock. The Washington men made a better rec- ord against the champion than did the Baltimore experts, from whom Mr. Sho- walter won every game in simultaneous play. The distinguished player now goes to Pittsburg. ‘The play last evening was watched by a large number of interested spectators, both members of the club and outsiders. College Boat Race Postponed. The Pennsylvania crew were in their shell at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., yesterday afternoon about to be towed to the start of the Cornell-Columbia-Pennsylvania race by their tow when the swell of one of the passing police tugs threw the shell against the float and wrecked it. Four large holes were stove in the boat. Coach Woodru‘t and Capt. Bull at once asked Columbia and Cornell for a postponement, The race will bo rowed Monday. Whist League Officers.

These ciations are to have tournaments leading up to the national event. COULDN'T HIT GERMAN. A Slump Takes Place in the Senators’ Batting. Lester German's fine work in the box gave the New Yorks a victory at New York yesterday afternoon. The Giants found Mercer rather easy, althougn sev- eral of their hits awwere very lucky. The Giants outplayed the Senators at all points. The Giants are still crippled by the loss of Rusie, Meekin, Davis and Doyle. They were compelled to put German in again yesterday, although he had pitched on Wednesday and lost. But an unaccount- able slump has taken place in the Senators’ batting, quite as remarkable as the recent spurt. Brooklyn won, and the chance to overtake the Grooms is gone for this year.

Owing to the refusal of Pitcher Harry Jordan to join the Syracuse club, Manager Mack of Pittsburg has released him. Tom Colcolough, late of the Pittsburgs, has de- cided to pitch for Scranton. Southpaw Gannon of Erie has been farmed out to Syracuse, and Gardner, a Pittsburg boy, will go into the box at Pittsburg today for the Pirates. During the third inning of the game at Montgomery, Ala., Tuesday, between Mont- gomery and New Orleans, Umpire Nichol- son called safe a runner because Left Fielder Neal fell after catching the fly which the runner had hit. Immediately the crowd of 500 people rushed upon the ficld and assaulted the umpire, who was severely injured before the police came to his assistance. The Philadelphia club is trying to secure the services of Pitcher Coakley. The latter has received a telegram requesting him to send his terms to Manager Irwin at once. Coakley is a speedy pitcher, but at times lecks control. William Clark of Pittsburg, who has been pens, first base for the Scranton club, as been signed by the New York team and played yesterday. dt is said that Fuller of the New York club may be traded to Philadelphia. Jack Boyle, captain of the Phillies, took a run over to New York Tuesday and had a con- ference with Jack Doyle. It is pretty well known that the Philadelphia club would like to have Fuller, and “Shorty” is not averse to joining the Quakers. The result of the conference between the two Jacks could not be ascertained, but something is going on at the Polo Grounds. Blind leading the blind is not a circum- stance to an ill-informed base ball writer giving information. For instance, one writer solemnly tells an inquiring reader: “Billy Merritt never played in the league until he joined the Reds. Last season he pitched twenty games and won eleven, and of those lost four were attributed to poor fielding.” The funny part of it is that Merritt is a catcher and played with Louis- ville, Boston and Pittsburg before he join- ed Cincinnati. The Chicago club has released Pitcher Bert Abbey. He will probably go to Bro: lyn. He pitched for Washington in 1892 ae was the poorest pitcher the Senators ad. Anson recently received a formal letter from Andrew Freedman, asking that the lowest possible price be put upon the ser- vices of Dahlen. Arson thought for a few moments and then sent Freedman the fol- lowing terse reply: “You are, no doubt, aware that Dahlen has not been playing the best of ball lately, but when he rounds to he will be an invaluable man. At that time I would part with him if we could agree upon terms, and I make you the fol- lowing offer: I will give you Dahlen in ex- change for Rusie and Doyle, and would want a cash consideration in addition. ay let me hear from you at an early jate.”” It is reported that New York wants Can- avan and McFarland of Indianapolis. Pres- ident Brush has admitted that there has been some talk about the matter. Pitcher Lucid of Brooklyn was given a gold watch in Boston by the printers in the Herald office. He used to be one of them. In the game between Pittsburg and Lou- isville Thursday Collins of the Colonels had a chance to retire Cross at second and Clingman at first by a double. “Only one out. Nab Cross,” shouted Beckley of Pitts- burg. Collins tried to obey. Cross got third and Clingman second. Jevne has proved a failure as an umpire, says the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. The great question all around seems to be, “Is umpiring a failure?” Pitcher Boswell was released by the New York club yesterday. “We played good ball,” said Miller of the St. Louis Browns, when he returned home, “in all but two games. We were compelled to ‘stand and deliver’ two games in Boston, one in New York, one in Washington and two in Brooklyn. I'delike to know why we can't get Emslie or Keefe once in a while. All along we had that old lantern-jawed, ichthyosaurus McDonald robbing us. The new crop of umpires is certainly a beauti- ful one.” Keeler on Tuesday made his first error since the 23d of April—38 games. He has a batting average of .485. Yet he was not good enough for New York or Brooklyn.— Boston Herald. The Pittsburg club has secured Pitcher John Lusby’s release from the Louisville club. Nothing will be given in exchange for him. Luby declined to play with the Colonels any longer. Manager McCloskey of the Louisville club has received the following telegram from Dan Brouthers, dated Wappinger Falls, N. Y.: “Have quit base ball for good; will go into the hotel business here with my broth- er. Let us be frfends, Mac. Please mail me check for salary.” Mr. McCloskey is a disgusted man. He said: “Dan says ‘Let us be friends.’ That’s rather odd, considering that the Louisville club gave $500 cash to Baltimore for his re- lease. Well, if he ever attempts to play ball in an organized league we will have something to say about it.” Several clubs are trying to get Outfielder Clark from Louisville. Washington offers to give three players for him and Baltimore bid for his release, but Manager McCloskey says money will not buy him. ee Marriage Not a Failure. From the Boston Transcript. Figg—‘‘It's all nonsense for girls to spend so much time and money learning to play the piano. Before we were married my wife used to be eternally practicing, but she hasn’t touched the piano half a dozen times since.” “And yet they say marriage is a DETROIT PLAN IN NEW YORK A Lack of Funds, but No Lack of Interest in the Work. More Applicants Than Could Be Given Farms—The Experiment a Success, From the New York World. Aiding the poor by the Pingree plan, which was tried in this city after it had succeeded in Detroit, is now successful here, and the work here is to be continued on a much more extensive scale. J. U. Kjelgaard, superintendent of the system of farming unused land, a few days ago said: “Although we did not put the plan into operation ugtil April 2, we have allotted 300 acres of land for farming purposes among 23 families. Some of them got a quarter of an acre, others half an acre, according to the size of the family. depend- ent upon the applicant. “William Steinway gave us the land. It is in Steinway, L. I, a good location. We furnish the would-be farmers with seeds, teams, ploughs, fertilizer and everything else that is required. In many cases we al- lowed the very poor seven and one-half cents an hour while they were planting their crops. But this was done only when applicants did not even have bread. The planting and farming is over now, and as soon as the crops are ready we will find a market for those who wish to sell their produce. Out of the returns we will de- duct the money advanced, and also the cost of the seeds and fertllizer. Of course, any of those who wish to do so may re- tain their whole crop for their own use. “Next year, I think I may gafely say, we will be able to give out land for fafm- ing purposes to at least 1,000 families. That will mean a great number of per sons. The 250 families which we have as- sisted this year represent between fifteen and sixteen hundred persons, who would have actually suffered for want of food but for this free farm scheme. We only gave the land to married men, or to men having widowed mothers with families dependent upon them and you would be surprised to see with what earnestness they took hold. Many of tiem had never seen a plough be- fore. For such cases I have three assist- ants who are practical farmers, and where a man was ignorant of farming we taught him. I never saw pupils more apt. “We are not considering any more appli- cations at present,” said Mr. Robert Fen- ton of the committee in charge, “as the season is too far advanced for planting, and as the charity was only intended ta help the poor in the cold and rainy months, The men aided are far above the average, They are men who beg for nothing but work. Nearly all of those families are such as are commonly called poor but proud. They would starve rather than beg for food, but whea the men heard of this opportun- ‘ty they came here and promptly made known their needs. “Most of those who got free farms are residents of New York, and men must want to work when they will tramp from here to Steinway and back every day. “Each quarter-acre, it is estimated, will produce fifty bushels of potatoes alone, and they will fetch, on an average, about 60 cents a bushel. Mr. Kjelgaard is of the opinion that each quarter-acre will return for the work expended upon it from $76 to $100. After the planting was done the farmers had little to do but go over there once !n a while and weed out. “A few drones crept in among the busy bees, but they were speedily weeded out, And let me say right here that the first to make kicks were the hard workers, who called the attention of cur superintendent to the slothful ones. Most of the men seemed to appreciate the chance presented to them, and acted as if they were grateful, but a few—only a few, mind you—seemed to think that they ought to be provided with a farmer to do the work for them. They were soon sent off about their business. We have now upon our books applications from twice as many persons as we have assisted. But the season is too far advanced now, and no more ground wil! be allotted until next year. So far, the contributors have not been as liberal as we hoped they would, and the work may have to be restricted for lack of money, but if we have sufficient funds next year will see the experiment tried on a scale as large, if not larger, than that of Detroit. New York was the first city to emulate the good idea which origin- ated with the mayor of Detroit, but now it is in operation in twenty-five other cities of the Union, and so far, from every city in which it has been tried, come encouraging reports, but with the same complaint, that funds with which to make the experiment @ grand success are scarce. =: “With few exceptions all the desirable men have stuck to their farms. Those who gave them up succeeded in getting better end steady positions elsewhere. Most of them came and told us, and we had no trouble in assigning their land to others. We don’t want men who can get worl elsewhere. We only want those who ara indigent and cannot get other employment, There is no discrimination here on account of a man’s creed or color. We never in- quire about his religion. Of course, we do require references from some one. If he brings one from his church pastor it is ing vestigated just the same as if he brings one from a former employer. All we in- sist on is that the applicant must be a Rerson worthy of assistance. We do not propose to help those who will not and z ave made an effort to help them< —__+e+______ Marriage Licenses.
