ANXIOUS 10 STRENGTHEN THE TEAM Realizes That It is Far Too Weak for This City. NOTES OF THE BALL PLAYERS —S While Arthur Irwin was here the other day with the Phillies he met Walter Hew- ett, who owned the Washington club when it was formerly in the league. They were discussing the great future for the capital city as a ball town, whereupon Walter Hewett remarked, regretfully, that he made one of the biggest mistakes of his business life when he seld out the Wash- ington ball club. Earl Wagner could not be induced to sell now, and he thinks so well of his bargain that he ts willing to- day or tomorrow or at any time to expend $25,000 to secure the services of five play- ers, prominent in three western clubs. He realizes, however, that the big clubs are not putting their best players on the mar- ket, and he will have to wait his chances and see If he cannot develop several young- sters or pick up a few men like Mc@raw, Kelly, Brodie, Keeler, Jennings and “Kia” Gleason. Mr. Wagner says he has six colt infield- ers now capering around in a minor league, cut of which he hopes to develop a fast short stop and second baseman, but if he could but win Dahlen away from Anson ane Supid” Childs from Patsey Tebeau there would be great rejoicing, Another new pitcher has been signed by the Washington management. His Lame is Carlton Moleworth, and he comes from Frederick, Md. He was discovered by a local “rooter,” the young- ster. At the expense of the “rooter,” the young Marylander came to Washington Wednesday, and he was given an opportun- ity Thursday to show himself in the morn- ing practice. Although he is but nineteen years old, he is said to have displayed phenomenal ability as a twirler. Jim Mc- Guire says if the youngster can do as well in a match game as he does in practice Moleworth may develop into a second Ramsay. The Washington club received $200 from Louisville for the release of. “Roaring Gil” Hassamer. Somebody told Bill the amount paid for his release was several times larger than $200, and he spent two days trying to get a slice of the “pud- ding.” Every Club Gets the Worst of It. According to the statement of the man- agers ard players who have visited Wash- ington this season, every club in the league has received “the worst” of the umpiring. Ned Hanlon rays Baltimore has been de- prived of countless games by wicked um- piring. Patsy Tebeau claims that the Clevelands would be too far ahead to be caught if the umpire had beén just to the “Spiders.” Arthur Irwin insists that the Fhillies would be in first place had the um- pire given the Quaker city lads a fair deal. Angon turns red in the face and proclaims with frantic gesture t his team would be nearer the top thai? New York had the umpiring in the Chicago series been im- partial. So it goes. Every club seems to have suf- fered at the hands of the umpires, but very little has been heard from the managers on the subject of how many games have been lest by careless or Inefficient work by the players, Fining the Kickers. While at league headquarters recently the question was raised as to the amount of money that has been turned into the league treasury on account of fines levied upon players for kicking against thé decisions of the umpires. Uncle Nick Young says he kas collected something over $1,800 in fines. ‘The bulk of that sum has been taken from players belonging to the two leading clubs in the race for the pennant, Baltimore and Cleveland, and also New York. All of the clubs, possibly with the excep- ticn of Philadelphia, have contributed small amounts to that fund, but the fact remains that Baltimore, Cleveland and New York have furnished the greater part of the “tlood money.” Under a signed agreement of the magnates ihe players are obliged to pay all fines inflicted. Earl Wagner points with pride to the fact that only one mem- ber of the Washington team hag been fined this season, the victim being “Honest” Jim McGuire, who, by the way, this week broke all previous records for endurance behind the bat. He has caught in 120 games. It is ..derstood that cwing to the fact that the Serators may not have an opportunity to ccmpete for the purse that goes with the Temple cup, the friends of McGuire in Washington contemplate getting up a purse for him, in appreciation of his faith- ful and valuable. services to the home club.

The leaders are in favor of two umpires in each game, and they are willing to stand an assessment that would be necessary to defray the ex- penses thus incurred. The tall enders con- tend that it is hard enough for them to pay the present assessments, much less sustain an additional tax for extra um- pires. Some of the tall enders claim that it Is only the winning teams who get the “best end” of the umpires’ decision, for they assert that the hard-hearted umpire has no sympathy for the under dog in the strug- gle for the championship. Unless a club is in the first division, the decisions of the umpires, it is alleged, are usually against the tail enders. Using Up Balls. It 's said that Philadelphia and Baltimore use more new balls during the season than any four cities in the league circuit. The writer has not had an opportunity to judge the correctness of that statement, so far as Philadelphia ig concerned, but after witnessing the Baltimore-Cleveland game last Saturday heJs prepared to believe it, so far as it relates to the monumental city. The Baltimore players have been taught to believe that there is much vir- tue or great luck in; a new ball, conse- quently when they are at bat on their home grounds they manage to have a new ball introduced every time they take their turn at bat. It rust’ be understood that Baltimore is “base ball crazy,” in_con- sequence of its great winning team. There the “rooters” are uot confined to the bleachers, but they extend into the grand stand, and the mést enthusiastic admirers of the Baltimore’ tedm are to be found among the lady patrons of the game. It is amusing to watch a Baltimore base ball crowd get away with an old ball when the home club takes its turn at bat. The hundreds of policemen, who attend the games there, to keep order, can never find the lost balls when the Orioles are at bat, but tet a pall be knocked: into the crowd while the visiting team is doing the hit- ting, there is a grand scramble on the part of the policemen and the assistant ground keeper to locate the missing ball and produce it instantly. Base Ball Mad at Baltimore. Why, the police authorities in Baltimore are so de2ply interested in the success of the Baltimore club that a patrolman was fined $25 a few days ago for delaying the game at a critical stage in the contest with Cleveland. While the game was in progress the policeman started to walk across the outfield frcm left ta right. He was stopped by Acting Captain Kelly and ordered to go back. It is claimed that the offender did not seem te hurry, but wajked deliberately in the direction of the post of duty to which he had been crdered, and therefore he was lectured by the president of the police board and fined Personal Notes of the Players. But few base ball enthusiasts who sit and watch a favorite player on the diamond are aware that some of the most active mem- bers of a team may be “battle-scarred vet- erans” of the great national game. There is Clements, the greatest left-hand catcher who ever stood behind the bat. He is a mass of scurs and bruises, obtained in the battles for the Philadelphia club. He Is a natural born ball piayer, and he is dissatis- fied and unhappy when not in the game. During the recent series in this city he met with a painful injury to the tnumb of his left hand. He had to lay off for a day or two. Those who saw him scampering around the day before would not have sup- posed that his body and legs are terribly bruised and discolored by foul tips striking out of the range of the mask and the pro- tector. There are many men in the hos- pital today more scund of limb than Clem- ents, yet he loves the game so well that he is willing to endure almost any degree of ache or pain to try for a sip out of the Temple cup. It is whispered around in league company that Billy Hamiiion and Henry Boyie of Philadelphia are booked for transfer at the close of the present season. Tom Ticker and McCarthy are said to be slated for Quakerdom, Politics is said to have cut an important figure in the dissensions that have occurred in the Boston team this season. Joe Sullivan is becoming quite gay since he struck that batting streak. If he had played as well for Philadelphia earlier in the season as he fs doing now the Phillie: might be nearer the top of the:pole. . CRICKET AT PHILADELPHIA The University FF Gim From England Meeting Pehnsy’s Tenm. To the superstitigus,there might be hesi- tation in selecting Friday, the 13th, for the beginaing of a contest involving the ath- letic prowess of a Hatfbn. There were none of thit stamp, however, on the grounds of the Philadelphia Gricket Club, at Wissa- kickon Heights, “yesterday, when the match between Oxford and Cambridge, past ind present,,.and the University of Pennsylvania, past, and present, was in- augurated. The sullen banks of gray clouds which obscured the blue in the early morning gaye way long before the opening of the matek to a burst of sun- shine. This, together ;with a lively breeze from the north gaye promise of what the visitors call “‘a jolly fine cricket day.” It was a red letter day for the adherents of the University of Pennsylvania, who, for the first time in the histery of that vener- abl institution, were afforded an oppor- tunity of witnessing an international crick- et contest in which its representatives were engaged. In the decorations the red and blue occupy by far the most conspic- uous position and no effort was spared to bring into prominence the fact that the match is peculiarly a Pennsylvania event. The attendance when the game opened was small. The local collegians were supremely con- fident of victory before the match began, and their chances are largely bettered by the absence of N. F. Druce, one of the most formidable bats of the English team. Mr. Druce was seized with a stomach com- plaint while in Canada, and will be unable to compete in the present match. The wicket was hard and fast and con- ducive to scoring by the team going first to bat. This privilege went to the visit- ing cricketers, Capt. Mitchell winning the toss and electing to bat first. The make-up “of the respective teams follows: Oxford and Cambridge—V. T. Hill, F. Mitchell, F. W. Milligan, R. A. Studd, H. A. Arkwright, F. W. Robinson, W. ai Hem- mingway, C. E. M, Wilson, W. W.

When play was called at i o'clock for lunch, the Englishmen had made 121 runs. Afternoon play was started at 2:10. ‘The visitors scored 284 in the first inning. Late in the afternoon the home team began their innings. They contrasted unfavorably with the visitors, who played a swift game at every point, and in exactly one hour four wickets were down for the small total of 3S. THE INTERNATIONAL MEET. Everything Poinis to the Big Games as Being Record Breakers. From the outlook the international ath- letic contests between teams representing the London Athletic Club and the New York Athletic Club at Manhattan Field next Saturday will be record breaking in more seuses than one. Preparations are being made to accommodate 16,000 spec- tators with seats in the covered and un- covered stands, and there will be standing room for half as many more. For four weeks twelve men have been constantly at work on the track. All the old strata has been removed and an en- tirely new track laid, under the supervision of ‘the track master of the N. ¥. A. C. Today the track is the fastest in Americ: bar none. All the stands have been tho oughly overhauled’ and inspected by the regular inspector¥”’of the city building department, and etery provision has been made for the safety and comfort of the huge crowd expected. — to Coach {Missouri's Team, COLUMBIA, , Md. September 14.—Foot ball has received an extra impetus at the Missouri State University by the arrival of C. D. Bliss of New: York, who will coach the university tean{‘this geason. Mr. Bliss played with the Yali team three years, and is said to be one of the best players in the country. The boys have already received challenges from the Universities of Illinois and Nebraska. OUTLOOK FORSPORTS Foot Ball at Georgetown Confined to the College. NO GAMES WITH OTHER INSTITUTIONS Gossip Regarding Possible Local Elevens. BASKET BALL'S POPULARITY Ever since the fatal foot ball game be- tween Georgetown University and the Co- lumbia Athletic Club last Thanksgiving day there has been much speculation about the prospects of the game in Washington. Mr. Joseph Keane, manager of athletics of Georgetown University, had an inter- view with Rev. Father Richards recently in regard to the foot ball question. Manager Keane wanted to arrange a series of games between Georgetown, Gallaudet, Johns Hop- kins University, the Baltimore City College, St. John’s and several other colleges of Maryland. Father Richards refused per- mission, however, and that will practically put an end to the chasing of pigskin away frem home this year. Outside af the dis- approval of the faculty, it is understood that quite a number of the students, and particularly those that were members of young Bahen’s class, are opposed to play- ing this year at least, as a token of re- spect to his memory, so that the restric- tion does not comes as hard as was at first expected. Elevens may possibly be organized. from among the classes, but they will positively not play outside the college or even in the college with teams from other colleges or aibletic clubs. Base ball will be substituted as far as possible. The boat club project that was mentioned as being cons:dered last spring will be given serious attention. A great loss to the college in this direction will be that of Boyle, than whom few amateur boat crews ean show a better oarsman. Boyle is now at Grimsty, Ontario, prac- ticing on the team of candidates who are to represent “Pennsy” on the gridiron this zason. Reports of Boyle’s work from Canada Indicate that he Is a favorite for bis old posit‘on of end, especially 1f Wagon- hurst goes back on Pennsylvania. Though Boyle was the best boating man at the college the work of getting subscriptions to the fund for the building of a boat house will no doubt be startei as soon as possi- ble, especially as the Potomacs have offer- ed the use of their boat house to the col- legians ard their assistance in training candidates. Foot ball always brings in a geod sum of money to the larger schools each season, but base ball generally comes out about even and seldcm with a balance on the right side. The success of the Georgetown nine meant money last spring, and in consequence there does not remain a great amount to be paid in clearing up the expenses incurred in fitting up the athletic field. Out at Gallaudet College a foot. ball eleven will be sent to do battle as of yore on the gridiron. Several games have al- ready been arranged with two or three Maryland schools, and more are in process of negotiation, The eleven will be fully as strong as that of last year, though its com- position Is not fully decided upon, and will not be until the material among the new men is looked over. What the Columbia Athletic Club is go- Ing to do about the game is a matter of doubt. The stars of last year are all available, and with little training a good eleven can be gathered. If nothing hap- pens between now and Thanksgivmg day, the annual foot ball contest will come off as usual, though it will lack the stimulus of local interest, to some degree. It is an open secret that last year the Columbia- Georgetown game would not have been played if the University of Virginia could have been brought to agree to the terms of the winged arrow people. The Navai Acad- emy boys were also tajked to, but on ac- count of the attitude of the Secretary of the Navy toward games away from An- napolis the negotiations did not come to anything. a The High School Eleven. The high schools have always been a sort of preparatory foot ball school for the colleges. Washington High School is no exception to the rule, and this year she sends three of her students to other places as candidates for honors and as hair-cut economists. They are Joe De Silver, who was a guard last year and the year before on the Central High School team; Frank Keys, the crack end of the Centrals for three years, and Riotte, who played rigat guard of the Eastern High School, an eleven which was rather light in weight, but which never lost a game during the whole of the season. De Silver has passed his examination for the University of Pennsylvania, but as- pires to nothing but a position on the sccond eleven, a job, as guard, which he stands an excellent chance of capturing. Both Keys and Riotte go to the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology at Boston, an institution that, while not of wide- spread renown in the foot ball line, always has ‘a good eleven. - Nearly all the old members of the cham- pion Centrals of last year will not turn up on the 23d, when school opens, and so the chances are not brilliant for as good a representation es last year. The same is true at the Eastern, though not so much so as was the case last year. Several new faces may be seen in the latter organiza- tion, and amorg them J. S. Miller, jr., who weighs two hundred and ten and who would make a jim crack center if he only bucxles down to hard work. They will have the advice this year of Mr. Philip J. Gerry, a member of the faculty, and who, before he came to Washington, was a prominent figure in Cornell athletics. Growth of Basket Ball. Basket ball and the basket ball league gained such a firm hold on the affection of the people last wirter that it will be taken up this winter with renewed zest. The membership will be about the same as last year, but there will be considerable change in all directions in the operations of the league. In the first place, some very imperative rules and_ strong-willed umpires who will interpret them correctly and enforce them when made are badly needed to prevent foul play and slugging. Kneeing was of frequent occurrence, and was the cause of some serious complaints. ‘A shake-up may also be in order among the officers of the league. Instructor Maurice Joyce of Carroll In- stitute now has all his classes under way, and will begin practice at basket ball as soon as the weather permits. About the same material as that of last year are on hand, tcgether with some very promis- ing new members. Instructor Joyce ex- pected to get a foot ball team on the field this year, but has finally given up the. idea, owing to the difficulty experienced in obtaining suitable grounds. Bob How- ard, Frank Saul, Bauby and others of the basket ball favorites are expected to re- sume their old positions, and with another year of experience added to that that they already had they should help to form a crack team. Instructor Sims’ Departure. Mr. John W. Sims, who has been at the athletic helm of the Y. M. C. A- here for the last six years, and to whom many a man in this country is responsible for im- proved health, left today for his new sta- tion in West Philadelphia. While in Wash- ington he has been the means of bring- ing out such well known athletes as Wal- ter Loveless, Earl Quackenbush, Dr. Henry Harding, Frank Vaughn, Will Norton, Townsend E. P. Hughes, his son, the bi- cycle rider, W. Fred Sims, and many others. In some ways the position at Philadel- phia is better than the one here, the mem- bership being considerably greater and the association there being in a better way in the athletic sense, as it possesses a nicely arranged athletic park, in addition to a well equipped gymnasium. A petition has been circulated and will be presented to the board of managers in a day or s0, re- questing that Mr. Sims be retained as in- structor, whether actively employed or not, but the only effect it can have will be rs a mark of esteem to Mr. Sims, he being already out of the city and in another posi- tion. He declares, however, that if the authorities want him when they are in a position to engage the services of a physi- cal instructor, he is ready to come back t Washington. The Light Infantry’s Courtesy. The following letter recently rezeived from Capt. Allison Nailor, President of the Washington Light Infantry Athletic Asso- clation, if acted upon, the suggestion that It contains, may, to some extent, relieve the association of the difficulty that sow confronts It: “Dear Sir—While heartily sympathizing with the athletic association of the Young Men's Christian Association in the loss by fire of their building and apparazus, I take great pleasure on behalf of the Wash- ington Light Infantry Corps and its ath- letic association, in extending to the Young Men's Chrstlan Association the freedom of the corps’ armory aud the use cf the ath- letic apparatus for practice at any and all times when {t does not interfere with the drills of the corps, or the times when the armory may be rented.” This proposition is apt to receive consid- eration on the part of the association au- thorities, especially as the athletic park will probably be discontinued this month, or at least by the last of October. PLAYED SNAPPY BALL. Local Fielders Kept Down the Safe Hit Column. The Wasbington ball nine took a brace yesterday and put so much life in their fielding that the visiting Brooklyns rarely hit safely.. “Why can’t they play like this all the time?” the spectators asked one another. No one could tell. The home team put ap-a snappy game. Capt. Cart- wright dropped into one of his custom- ary taps on second base, but he was for- given, for he made six hits in the two fames, landing the ball for three bags twice’ in thé first game. Such batting if kept up wovld put Ed. at the top of the league's battirg list. He met the ball squarely and did not ses0p it up into the air in his usual fashion. ‘There were no particularly brilliant plays. Griffin caught a fly, apparently safe, In the second game, by hard running. Scheibeck also took a line drive that looked as though it was going by him. Mercer and Anderson pitched and were effective, the former striking out five and the latter three. The Senaters must still improve their record considerably to equal that‘ of last year. But work like that of yesterday, if kept vp, will do ft. Score: First Game. WASHINGTON. BROOKLYN.
