ONE OF THE VISITORS iS OVERCOME His Place Taken by One of the ~ Local Players. SPORTS IN GENERAL GERMANTOWN, Pa., September 20.— The second international cricket match be- tween elevens representing Cambridge and Oxford, past and present, and the gentle- men-of Philadelphia began today on the beautiful grounds of the Germantown Cricket Club. The weather was warm and the wicket in good shape in consequence of the recent rain. The attendance when the game began, at 11:15 a.m., was small, but the advance sale of seats indicates the presence during the match of large crowds. The coaching par- ties which have heretofore been a feature of international matches were’early on the | ground, and men. The members of the Philadelphia and Washington base ball teams were in- terested spectators at the game. The English team is strengthened by the presence of Druce, its strongest bat. The Philadelphia eleven is stronger than the team representing the University of Penn- een which defeated the visitors last week. Captain Patterson won the toss for Phil- adelphia, and elected to go first to bat. The teams are as follows: Gentlemen of Philadelphia—Patterson, E. W. Clark, jr., Noble, Brockie, Coates, es Salston, Bailey, Alternus, King and ‘001 Oxford and Cambridge—Mitchell, captain; Hill, Hermingway, Druce, Phillips, Wil- son, Milligan, Arkwright, Robinson, Lowe and Hartley. Patterson and Noble began the batting to the bowling of Hartley and Milligan. The partnership did not last long, Noble having the misfortune to be bowled by Hartley. Score, 6-1-5. Wood was the next batter. Wood was caught by Hartley off Milligan after he had made three runs. Score, 14-2-3. Coates joined Patterson. Coates was bowled by Milligan. Score, 24-3-2. Es Bohlen was the next up, byt was bowled by Hartley after making oné run. Score, 27-4-1. E. W. Clark, jr., next. . Patterson was well set, and at 12:10 p.m. 50 went up on the score board, of which Patterson had made 35. At this juncture Lowe _ relieved Milligan, and Arkwright took Hartley’s place in the bowling, with the hope of retiring the Philadelphia cap- tain. The benefit of the change soon ap- peared when Clark went out by before- wicket, bowled by Arkwright. Score, 61-5-6. . Ralston partnered Patterson, ¥. A. Phillips of Oxford and Cambridge retired from the field at 12:35 o’clock, being affected by the heat, and Wood of Phila- delphia was substituted for him. ‘At lunch time (1:30.0’clock) the home team had scored 154 runs for six wickets. Ralston was bowled by Wilson. Score, 154-6-53. Pat- terson not out, 72. loaded with well-dressed women ANOTHER BIG CRICKET MATCH. Mitchell’s Team Meet the Gentlemen of Philadelphia Tod: A large crowd is expected at Manheim to witness the second match between the visiting Englishmen and the Philadelphia cricketers. On this occasion the Oxford- Cambridge team will be pitted against the Gentlemen of Philadelphia, and both the teams will be stronger than last week. N. F. Druce, the crack Cambridge bat, will be seen playing for the visitors, while the American team will have a stronger batting side and a much stronger bowling side than in the University of Pennsylvania match. There was the usual activity at Manheim yesterday afternoon that is seen before a big match, though the Englishmen were not at practice, having been taken to the ——————————————— nn i50c Neckwear} oe ie You can find plenty of ordinai Gc.

Schmelz’s rew find, Molesworth, went in against the Phillies rday, but six runs in one inning settled, him and Boyd took his place. Then the Senators took a brace, and by good stick workytook the lead. With two men on bases ai out in the eighth Sam Thompson hit the ball over the center field fence. The visiting cricketers from the Oxford and C; bridge universitizs were preseat, having gone out to see the favorite American time. Of course they could not understand’ ail the points of the game, but with unusually quick perception they saw that Thompson’s hit won the game, and the length of the drive also ap- pealed to their senses. ‘They showed their appreciaticn of it by becoming an active party in the general rejoicing. Another piece of work that caught their fancy was Selbach’s catch of White’s long drive to left, and the general :quickness and accu- Tracy of the fielding was favorably com- mented on by them. Previous to the game they inspected the dismond and Capt. Mitchell made an attempt to hit the curves of Taylor’s pitching. When successful the crowd, which had treated the visitors in truly royal American style, gave him a hearty round of applause. PHILADELPHIA. WASHINGTON. B.H.O.AE. R.H.O.AE.

Molesworth won't do, - Washington again teday. Joyce is as scrappy, as ever. Boyd kept the hitters, well under control. Selbach comes pretty near being a good fielder. a Manager Schmelz will also try some of his new men. All of the old plgyers but one of the Washington team haye,signed contracts for 1896. From the Philadelphia Presa. McGuire never caught better than he has this season. af The Phillies played all-right at both ends, while the Senators were.solid in the middle. It was Manager Schmelz’s first intention to pitch Boyd. From‘ a: selfish point of view we are glad that:he didn’t. Friends of McGuire in Washington con- template getting up a purse for him in ap- preciation of his faithful and valuable ser-_ vices to the home club. He has breken a record by catching 121 games. From the Inquirer. Demont is a comer. President J. Earl Wagner played on the te. McGuire “caught his one hundred and twenty-eighth successive game. Boyd has a peculiar and puzzling deliv- ry. Selbach ts a great fielder. His catch of White's long hit was phenomenal. The “Senators” were retired on four pitched balls in the fourth. “Scrappy’’ Joyce is well named. Molesworth won't do. Ten of the Phillies faced him the first inning. Two of them drew bases on balls,“one was hit and four made hits. Second Place Depends on It. The Treasury Department and District Commissioners’ teams will play tomorrow at Naticnal Base Balt Park. It is the game which was postponed from July 27, and on the outcome of this game depends the position of second place in the league standing. The batteries will be Nichols and Farrell for the Treasury and Fuller and Dickinson for the Commissioners. The Light Infantry and Treasury will play a postponed game October 4. The Riverside Won. The Riverside Athletic Club and the Rockville team met at National Park yes- terday afternoon, and after an exciting contest the game resulted in a victory for the local players—5 to 3. Holding Off for More Money. All of the Washington players have been secured for next season but Mercer and Selbach, who are said to be holding off for More money. Base Ball Notes. The Radfords and Pioneers will play a game at National Par« today. The pro- ceeds will go toward erecting a monument for the late Benjamin Myers, the member cf the Pioneers who was fatally hurt in a ball game three weeks ago. Cleveland has purchased the release of Skearon of Buffalo for $500. He is an out- fielder and a good batter. Five more games remain to be played by the Clevelands; two are with Pittsburg, one with Chicago. and tw9 with Louisville. ‘The Chicago game is in,,doubt. It is possible the Louisville games will be transferred to Cleveland. It is thought at, Cleveland that the Spiders can hardly Win the pennant, with so few games for the future. Moving fall games up for Sunday. games this summer Las cut down the total at the present time. The Baltimores woh from Brooklyn yes- terday, though they did not gain any oh the Spiders, as they ¥]so took one from the Pirates. = The only change made in the standing yesterday was betweem the last three clubs in the first division., Brooklyn's defeat by the Champions sent"tHem from fourth to sixth, while Anson’é™Colts, who did not play, and the Beanesters, as the result of thelr victory over the, Giants, each moved up a peg. i A year ago today the Washingtons had lest the same number 6f games that they have this year, butshad won four more. Wil? they do as well a3 last year? This is the interesting question in local base ball circles. BLAMES LORD D! AVEN. Admiral Fitzgerald, the Britixh Sailor, Mukes Some Comments. LONDON, September 20.—The Times gives prominence today to a letter from Admiral Fitzgerald, in which the writer says that Lord Dunraven must expect that his con- duct in the matter of the America’s cup match races will be severely criticised, and that It compares unfavorably with that of Mr. Iselin. That his fair-minded country- men, Admiral Fitzgerald continues, have cause to regret the course of Lord Dun- raven, and all true lovers of sport must regret that Mr. Iseiin’s generous offer to resail the second race was declined. Tech- nically, the admiral says, Lord Dunraven’s refusal to sail on the third day was right; but the question should have been treated upon broader grounds. Americans through- out have shown the true sporting instinct. The impartial verdict of nautical history, the letter concludes, will say that Lord Dunraven has failed to uphold the best traditions of English yacht racing. A CHANCE FOR A RACE. An Offer for Valkyrie and Defender to Meet in English Waters. The London Sportsman announces that Laycock, Goodfellow and Bell, bankers, of Lombard street, have cabled to the New York Yacht Club an offer of £1,000 for a race in English waters between Defender and Valkyrie III. A check to that amount has been de- posited with the secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron. * The London Yachtsman, in its issue to- dsy, prints a bitter article on the subject of the Defender-Valkyrie fiasco, in the course of which it says: ? “The New York Yacht Club may be con- gratulated on retaining its thrice presented and illegally held cup. Had it not been for Lord Dunraven, the America’s cup would never have emerged from its dishonor and the obscurity into which it had been plunged by the Thistle and Volunteer matches. Every British yachtsman will ap- prove of Lord Dunraven’s conduct.” ‘The Yachting World says that it will be an intrepid man who, after the experience of Lord Dunraven, shall again challenge for the America’s cup. LONDON, September 20.—Laycock, Good- fellew & Bell cabled to the New York ‘Yacht Club on Tuesday as follows: “Secretary New York Yacht Club: Will give £1,000 for a race in English waters at ence, details and management to be left to the owners. Reply paid. 5 “LAYCOCK, GOODFELLOW &*BELL, “Bankers.”” A copy was also sent to the secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron, to whom a check for £1,000 was sent Wednesday, which the committee was authorized to use in any manner, provided the object was at- tained. Yesterday the bankers cabled to Mr. Ise- lin, informing him of the offer, and will cable to Lord Dunraven ,similarly today. Mr. Goodfellow says that if it is too late an the season to race in English waters, his firm is willing that the race should come off at Cannes, or anywhere that Lord Dun- raven and Mr. Iselin may select, America excepted. TOMORROW’S YACHT RACE. The Ethelwynn and Spruce IV Will Take Part. Another international yachting contest will be decided within the next few days on Long Island scund, off Oyster bay. The race will be between fifteen-footers, and the ttle racers will compete for the Seawan- haka-Corinthian Yacht Club’s $500 interna- tional small-boat trophy. America will be represented by C. J. Field’s Ethelwynn, while England’s champion fs J. Arthur Brand's Spruce IV. Both defender and chal- lenger are centerboard boats. The first race will be sailed tomorrow, while the remaining races will take place on each succeeding day. thereafter, with the exception of Sunday, until the series is decided. The course will be at the entrance of Oys- ter bay. It will be six nautical miles long and will be sailed over twice. It will be a one-gun start, with a five-minute prepara- tory signal fired at noon. There will be a five-hour time limit orf each race, and there will be no time allowance. HANLON HIMSELF AGAIN. The Doughty Sculler Will Challenge Hard: s- TORONTO, Ont., September 20.—Ed Han- lon, the ex-champicn oarsman of the world, has written.to a friend in England to en- deavor to arrange a match with Harding, the English champion.Hanlon will challenge for the sportsman’s cup and $2,500 a side, over the Thames or Tyne course. Should Hanlon win he would insist that the next cup race take place on still water in Amer- ica, thus creating a scullers’ America’s cup. Hanlon’s friends claim that he is nearly back to his old form. NO REFEREE CHOSEN. Im Accordance With Fitzsimmons’ Wish a Choice is Postponed. NEW YORK, September 20.—The meet- ing today for the purpese of selecting a referee for the Corbett-Fitzsimmbns fight was without result. No referee was chosen, and the matter was deferred at the instance of Fitzsimmons’ manager until October 30, one day before the fight. Neither Corbett nor Fitzsimmons was pres- ent, nor was W. A. Brady, Corbett's man- er. Martin Julian, who represented -Fitzsim- mons, said he favored the selection of “Yank” Sullivan'as referee. The Fight Was a Fizzle. TOLEDO, Ohio, September 20.—The Ken- ny-Bayliff prize fight, which was to have come off at North Baltimore last night, was a complete fizzle. Some 600 spectators were present. All conceivable tactics for delay were put in practice, and finally Sheriff Briggs appeared and refused to al- low the fight to proceed. The crowd, at 3 a.m., left for Toledo, and the mill was to have come off at dawn at the rooms of the Toledo Athletic Club. Before the spec- tators all reached the ringside Bayliff was taken sick and the match was declared off. The wianer was to have challenged the winner of the Maher-O'Donnell contest. at Dallas next month, and Kenny may yet lo so. PRINCETON’S FOOT BALL SCHEDULE. List of the Games to Be Pinyed by the Tigers. Manager Milbank has submitted the Princeton foot ball schedule. The ‘Yale game will be played the week before Thanksgiving. This was done to shorten the season and obviate the danger of over- training. Dissatisfaction is expressed by the student body in having the game played at Columbia Oval. From a financial standpoint these grounds are far superior to those more accessible to New York. A game is scheduled with Cornell, but no ar- rangements have been made as to what rules will govern the game. Following is the schedule: October 2—Elizabeth, at Elizabeth. October 6—Rutgers, ‘at Princeton. October $—University of Virginia, at Bal- timore. October 12—Lafayette, at Princeton. October 16—Franklin’ and Marshall, at Princeton. : October 19—Lehigh, at Philadelphia. October 23—Unton, at Princeton. October 26—Orange, at Orange. October 30—Lehigh, at Princeton. November 2—Crescents, at Brookiyn. November 9—Cornell, at New York. November 23—Yale, at New York, Colum- bia Oval. A GAME WITH YALE. Conditions Under Which Harvard Might Play the Blue. A Cembridge dispatch says: The probability of a foot vall game be- tween Harvard and Yale was the one topic here today. The foot ball men are reticent, and claim that there is nothing new to be sald about the matter. It is admitted, however, today that very recent negotla- tions looking toward a game had been set on foot, but only on the part of interested graduates of both colleges. It is positively denied that there has been any personal correspondence between Capts. Thorn and Brewer on the subject. This much has been determined in view of the gemote possibility that a game may be arranged, any game between Harvard and Yale must be arranged before October 5, and it will be played November 9, either at Cambridge or at New Haven, probably the latter place. After October 5 Harvard will absolutely refuse any negotiations for a game. Yale Wants to Play Harvard. A New Haven special says: A foot ball conference between Yale and Harvard is in progress. Yale’s representa- tives are Manager Foote and “apt. Thorn. The game will probably take place at Springfield, November 15. The playing rules are the great subject for disagree- ment, as Yale and Princeton have one code and Harvard, Pennsylvania and Cornell another. Pigeon Flight From Fredericksburg.

Two hundred and fifty young birds were shipped on the 4:30 a.m. train and were liberated at 7 a.m. The birds flew well, making very good time. Those that were a little late got caught in the storm that came up shortly after 9 o'clock, and did not reach home until late in the afternoon, and some did not come until next day. The losses were very slight. The club will have its first race from Richmond, Va., Sunday morning, air line distance, ninety-six miles, for a purse of- fered by the club. If it should be a clear morning fast time can be expected, a8 some of*the members have very speedy birds that have made good time in the training flights. A New World's Record.

Recently a quantity of arms, ammuni- tion, &c., was found on an uninhabited island, known as Grassy Cay, off the south- ern edge of the Andras Island, one of the British Bahamas. The attention of the State Department authorities has been un- officially called to the matter by the British embassy In order that they might ascer- tain the source of these abandoned muni- tions of war. It is presumed that they were intended for the Cuban insurgents and were temporarily deposited on Grassy Cay. The matter has been referred to the United States attorney at Key West for investigation, on the theory that the ar- ticles may have been shipped frofn that vicinity and illegally landed on British soil. The names appearing on the packages are given, but for prudential reasons are with- held from publication. The cases contained twelve Remington carbines, a quantity of medical stores, 1,000 cartridges, 19,500 rounds of Remington ammunition and 19,500 rounds of Winchester ammunition. ——_ e+ __. GRIGGS NOMINATED. The Ex-State Senator Selected by the New Jersey Republicans. The republican state convention at Tren- ton, .N. J., yesterday afternoon nominated John W. Griggs of Union county, ex-state senator, and a prominent lawyer, for gov- ernor. His chief competitor was ex-Con- gressman John Kean, jr., who was the candidate against Gov. Werts three years ago. On the first ballot Griggs was the leader with 294 votes to 207 for Kean. There were 817 delegates and 424 votes were therefore required for a choice. On the second ballot Griggs’ vote jumped to Kean getting 248. Sune the progress of the third ballot Griggs gained steadily and finally there was a stampede, which resulted in his nomination by acclamation. The platform says: “We reaffirm our devotion to the national policy of our party; our opposition to any attempt to impose upon this country a Gebased or depreciated currency, and our firm belief in the wisdom and henelficence of a tax upon imporis which will afford protection to American industry and ade- quate revenue.” soe Senator McDon: "s Will Set Aside.

TEMPORAL POWER No Plan for the Pope's Bestors\ tion Known to Ohurch Authorities Here, ‘ The Project of Raising Money to Ne= getiate With Italy Pronounced Absurd and Visionary. ‘ The project originating in London of raise ing $1,000,000,000 to be placed at the dis- pesal of the pope as a fund: with which he could negotiate with Italy for a restoration of temporal power is regarded by leading Catholic authorities here as visionary and absurd. The reported circular issued in London has not been seen in this city, nor has the subject comje_to,the authorities in any form. It is regarded as the emanation either of some well-intentioned but mis- guided individual,-or-else of some “dite de- sirous of arousing prejudice against the’ church. It is stated that no such plan is within the bounds of possibility. Even if the vast amount named were available as‘ a means of assisting Ital embarrassment, it is said that the restora: tion of temporal power involves senti- mental considerations which neither Italy nor the pope would reduce t _ e to a question of No Plan for Restoration. j ~_At present, so far as is known here, the Vatican has no plan under consideration tcr the restoration of temporal power or for the establishment of a temporal au- thcrity elsewhere than at Rome. About eight years ago the differences between the Italian authorities and the pope became so Pronounced that the Vatican begun to con- sider the feastbility.sof:.establishing the’ papal see at some other place in Europe.’ But the government made concessions which were satisfactory to the Vatican allaying the most serious friction, an there was no further consideration giyen to the question of the pope’s removal. ‘ It is said that while the Italian govern- ment has been in conflict with the Vatican, it never has desired the withdrawal of th Pope from Rome, as the central establish- ment of Catholic authority at Rome is of great benefit and value to the city and to” all Italy. The pope protests from time to time against the deprivation of his tem- poral power, but this, it is said, in Cath- olic circles here, is largely formal as a means of keeping alive the lack of agree- ment in what Italy has enforced. No for- elgn power has ever taken up the Pope's cause, as al! powers gaye their assent to the action of Italy twenty-five years ago! today in assuming temporai authority over all Rome, including the Vatican. A The Italian Celebration. "i There is much interest here as to the part which foreign ministers at Rome will! take in the Italian celebration today. Some! time ago @ European paper published the’ statement that all European governments! had requested their representatives at Rome to take no part in the celebration. Further than this unofficial statement nothing is Known as to the extent to which foreign governments will extend or with- hold their recognition to-the Italian dem- onstration. It is a delicate situation, and the United States ambassador at Rome, Mr. McVeagh, is in a position requiring thé exercise of discretion and tact. The quadrennial celebfation of Italy ap- Pears to stimulate cranks in this country, who are directing a volley of threatening letters to the Catholic authorities here. short time ago a letter received at thi Papal legation declared that the mem- bers of the papal delegation at Wash- ington would be poisoned by corrosive sub- limate unless they removed from the coun-! try by August 27. Another letter fixed June 10 as the time of destruction. A later letter, accompanied by a skull and cross- bones, and couched in- filthy language, stated that it was fortunate for the dele- gate that he left Chicago as early as he did, as he would have been dynamited had he remained. These letters give no con- cern, as they are regarded as crank effu- sions similar to those more or less fre- quently sent to public officials in Washe tngton. ——————_+e.—__ ‘ THE KITE DUE AT ST. JOHN'S, 1 Peary Relief Party’s Stay North May, Be Prolonged. j The Peary relief expedition is due at St. John’s, N. F., from Greenland, today, and will probably arrive, barring accident. The relief steamer Kite should have left St. John’s July 1, but putting in a new shaft detained her until July 11. She reached Holsteinberg, south Greenland, July 27, af- ter a long and stormy passage. The news of her reaching Holsteinberg was brought by a fishing sthooner, which reported little ice. Experienced mari- ners fear that this means that the ice is heavily packed in Melyille bay, which will make the passage of the Kite an unusually, difficult task. Last year the Falcon, which conveyed the relief party, spent three weeks trying to force her way through the ice pack, and ultimately had to communi- cate with Peary by sending men to lang over the ice. She could not overcome the delay in starting, and reaching Greenland may cause postponement, which will pro- long the Kite’s stay north. The party of s¢ientists who went with her were promi: two months for explor- ing and for making collections of anim: birds and glacial data. These men continue working so long as prudent, but some of them must be in their universi by October 1.
