ON TURF AND TRACK Annual International Meeting of Athletes. CONTESTS ON MANHATTAN FIELD The Leading Amateurs of England and America. a WHAT THEIR RECORDS ARE NEW YORK, September 21—After months of careful preparation and considerable suspense the promotors of the international athletic contest between the representatives of the New York Athletic Club and London Athletic Club, were rewarded with a beau- tiful day on which the supremacy of the British or American athletes is to be de- cided. The extreme heat of yesterday caused a great deal of anxiety to those most interested—not on account of its ener- vating effect on the contestants, but the poesibilly of its being followed by a thunder and rain storm, which might destroy the track and infield so carefully prepared at Mitchell and Sweeney of the N. Y. A. C. Manhattan Field. But today’s fine weather insured perfect conditions for the tests of strength and skill. It is thought by many that the hammer throwing, shot putting and running high jump are at the mercy of the American athletes. There is a wide difference of opinion as to the outcome of the other events, namely, the 100 and 220 yards dashes, quarter-mile, half-mile and one and three-mile runs, 120 yards hurdles and run- ring broad jump. Closely Matched. ‘The men selected by both sides for each of the events are so closely matched that it would be a difficult matter to say which side has the better chances. Bradley, the En- glish sprinter, has shown such speed in his trials at Berkeley Oval that he has surprised everybody. At the same time, Wefers and Crum, the American sprinters, have been doing everything expected for Murphy, the Travers Island trainer. Crum’s leg has been bothering him recently, but Jack Frazer has been looking after the Iowa boy’s interests, Crum’s Attitude at Starting. and it may just be possible that Crum may come to the scratch all ight. The man who wins the 100 yards will provably have to beat ten seconds, and a corking good pace will be the result. Downer, the Scottish champion, 1s scheduled to start in the 220 yards run, in which Wefers and Crum will also compete. Downer 1s ander a cloud for the past week, as he has been reported to have broken down. One ching certain is that he has visited Jack Frazer, and, al- though the old man would not say anything about Downer’s condition, he edmitted that it was a hard matter to fix up a ian at the last minute. The Foot Races. If Downer cannot go, Bradley will start and ther? are not a few who think he will beat the fast Americans at both of the short distances. Godfrey Shaw and Ste- phen Chase will have a hard tussel over the hurdles and a splendid effort will be witnessed if Chase has receovered his form uring his stay at West Point. Fitzherbert, Jordon, Burke and Sands, will meet in the quarter mile. The world's record of 48 1-4 seconds for this distanze is sald to be in jeopardy, as Fitzherbert and Burke have come close to it in their work. The finish of this event should certainly be a most exciting one. President Horan of Cam- bridge, and Charles Kilpatrick, the Union College runner, will be the principals in the half- mile race. In the mile, Lutyens and Lewin may try conclusions with Tom- my Conneff and Orton, Horan and Wil- Kins, will, most likely, try for the three- mile race, which will be the last event on There is Less Profit —in selling a “KNOX HAT at $5 than tn selling these cheap blocks at $1.50.

The Flying Scotchman, Downer, who is known at home as the “Flying Scctchman,” will probably be de- pended upon to win the 2:20, as it is thought that he has more endurance than Bradley. Downer was bern in Jamaica and now lives in Edinburgh. He is the young- est man on the team—twenty-two years. George Orton, N. ¥. A.C. When he was thirteen he won an inter- scholastic sprint, which was his first vic- tory. In 1891 and 1892 he won a number of prizes, and in 1893 he won three Scotch championships and reduced the Scotch rec- ord for 120 yards to 12 1-5 seconds. In 1894 he again won the 100, 220 and 440-yards Scotch championships, reducing the 220- yards Scotch record to 22 4-5 seconds, and the quarter mile to 51 4-5 seconds. This season he has won many brilliant races, repeating his success in Scotland by win- ning three championships; reducing the Scotch 150-yards record to 0:15; equalin; the British record of 0:10 for 100 yards, an defeating E. C. Bredin in a 300-yards match race at Glasgow. Bradley, Fitzherbert and Shaw. Bradley is an older man, having seea twenty-eight years, He weighs 170 pounds, and while his style of running is not re- garded as perfect, he is a fine fellow for a bruising finish. He has been sprinting for six years, and in 1892 won his first cham- pionship, which was the 100 yards, in 0:10 1-5. He has repeated this victory every year since, thus winning four times, a feat that is unequaled in the history of sprint running in Great Britain. His win this year was in 0:10. G. Fitzherbert is a comparative novice, but he defeated Bredin in the late English championship, covering the distance in 49 3-5 seconds. It is only fair to Bredin to say, however, that before running that quarter he had just run a half mile in 1:55 45. Jordan, of course, is not so good a man as Fitzherbert. Shaw is a little man, who by birth is an Australian. In 1893 and 1894 he won the English championships in 0:16 each. This year he captured the championships in 0:15 45. Tommy Burke. Burke is a Bostonian and has the dis- tinction of being the youngest champion on the list, not yet having attained his ma- jority. He is credited with running the quarter in 0:49 1-5, when in poor condi- tion. Old timers regard him as the fastest man this country has had since the days Charles W. Stage, Champion Sprinter. of Lon Myers. In appearance he looks like a Brownie in his track clothes. He has a small body and very thin long legs. His lung power is great, and he has little weight to carry. Sands is a Union College student and a popular little man. Crum’s Record. Crum is remarkably slow in getting away from his mark, but he has such a won- derful burst of speed in finishing that more than once he has caught the tape in 9:45 seconds. He is only twenty-three years old and hails from Iowa. Some experts declare that he is willfully dilatory at the mark in order to compel his opponents to act as his pacemaker and draw him out. He knows he has great strength and knows also that he can aiways finish strong. Billy Stage. Billy Stage is the American and Cana- dian champion of 1893. He has done the 100 yards in 9 4-5 seconds and the 220 yards In 21 3-5 seconds. If he shows himself fit he ought to accompany Crum over the sprint. Kilpatrick's Career. Kilpatrick is a twenty-one-year old who made his appearance on the cinder path in 1892. Kilpatrick has won several inter- collegiate and American championships. Last year he won the American half-mile in 1.45 4-5, which Is the fastest time on the record books for an American champlon- ship at that distance. He is now in fine form. Tommy Conneft. With that marvelous and consistent lt- tle runner, Tommy Conreff, stripped for the mile that event ought to be a gift for the American team. Conneff never ran so well in his life before as he is doing now. He put up 4 minutes 17 4-5 seconds for the dis- tance, but shortly afterward Bacon, the English runner, rubbed the fraction off. Tommy Connef,, N. Y. A. C. Unfortunately for the visitors Bacon has not accompanied the team, and the honor of England at the mile has been left In the keeping of W. E. Lutyens, the ‘varsity champion, who has a record of 4 minutes 19 seconds. He is the best man in Eng- land outside of Bacon, but Conneff is im- proving, and if he comes as near 4 minutes 15 seconds as he threatens, he will have no trouble in losing the English ‘varsity champion. George Orton will be the sec- ond string to Conneff in the race. Trainer Murphy of the New York A. C. thinks that the sure things for the Ameri- can athletes are the shot and hammer events, the broad jump, the hurdles and the high jump. The Englishmen are the ae of the club at the Murray Hill Ho- tel INTERNATIONAL CRICKET. The Oxfcrd and Cambridge Continue the Contest. CRICKET GROUNDS, GERMANTOWN, Pa., September 21.—Play in the interna- tional cricket match between the Gentlemen of Philadelphia and the Oxford and Cam- bridge representatives was resumed at 11:10 o’clock with the over-night not outs, Druce and Hill, with 10 and 39 runs, re- spectively, at bat, with Bailey and King bowling. When stumps were drawn last night the Americans piled up 234 runs, and the Englishmen had put together 80 runs for the loss of two wickets. The weather is beastly hot today and the wickets in good condition. Hill was caught by Noble off Bailey. Score, 89-83-41. Wilson was the next batter. Druce was bowled by King. Score, 110-4-30, Phillips was the next up. Phillips lasted but a few minutes, being bowled by King. Score, 112-3-2. Milligan followed. Base Ball Franchise Sold. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

The Washington public will have a chance to see “Gentleman” Jim Corbett in a game of base ball in this city before he goes into his big fight at Dallas, Texas. It has been announced that he will appear in a game of base ball between two teams of the Departmental League, October 1, and that his brother, Joe, will also play in the same game. It is expected that the two teams will be the Washington Light Infantry and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but the qugstion of who shall constitute the teams has not yet been set- tled. Wants to Wrestle. CHICAGO,September 21.—C. J. Blake,rep- resenting Dan McLeod, the wrestler, has Geposited $500 with the sporting depart- ment of a local paper for a wrestling match with “Farmer” Burns, the present cham- pion. McLeod says that If Burns does not respond ty this latest challenge within a reasonable length of time he will claim the championship by default. MAY HAVE TROUBLE Manager Chapman Objects to De- mont Playing Here. 13 AFTER $500 FOR RELEASE Near the Wind-up of the Base Ball Season. NOTES OF THE ¥LAYERS It ts possible that the Washington man- agement may be a little premature in going into raptures over Eugene De Montreville (or Demont), the sprightly East Washing- ton lad who has heen capering around so effectively at short stop for the Senators within the past two or three days. As soon as the news reached Toronto, Canada, that De Montreville was playing with the Washington club Manager Chapman of the Toronto club opened up telegraphic com- munication with “Uncle Nick” Young of the league, and also President Powers of the Eastern League, to let them know that De Montreville has not been released by Toronto. At the same time Manager Chapman objected to his playing with Washington unless he was regularly drafted and $500 paid for his release. It appears that the playing season, or the contract season, of the Toronto club ex- Pired on the 15th instant. Under the rules any club in the National League has the right to draft a player from a mindr league within fifteen days after the contract sea- son closes. In the case of De Montreville the Torontos propose to reserve him for next season, but under the rules the Wash- ington club may draft him and secure his services upon the payment of $500. It seems that the Washingtons are experi- menting with the young player without having notified the proper league authori- tles what their intentions are. Under the rules they may play him for five days with- out making a contract with him, but at the expiration of that perfod any club in the league may put in a claim for his ser- vices and draft him from the Torontos. Jack Chapman is an old bird, and he know: what is coming to him, and he insists upon having it if De Montreville is to remain in Washington. The latter is a promising lad, and plays like a winner. He is full of ginger, and may inject a little of the “hot stuff” into his senatorial associates. He caught Earl Wagner in his first game here, when he went after a fly ball to the Infield, which elther Joyce, Crooks, Mercer or Cartwright might have taken, by instantly starting after the ball, shouting as he ran, “Let me have it.” He captured it, and at the same time captured Mr. Wagner, who says he likes a player who always wants the ball and does not call for one of his companions to take it. Next week the professional base ball sea- scn for the present year closes. The indl- cations now are that the race for the pen- rant will result in a “blanket finish” be- tween Baltimore and Cleveland, with Phila- delphia a close third. The Clevelands, with Patsy Tebeau holding the lines, are dashing down the homestretch at a fearful pace un- der a strong pull, while the Baltimores are slightly in the lead, with Ned Hanlon whip- ping and spurring at every jump. With Mugsy McGraw out of the game,the Orioles are heavily handicapped, for he is the inspiring genius of that team. In th: connection it is said that McGraw deserv the credit for the high standing of the Bal- timore team in league circles. Many of us have credited “Silent Ned” Hanlon with furnishing the brains and the tact that hi been displayed in the work of the cham- pions. Others have attributed the fast ex- bibitions of the Baltimores to the magnifi- cert generalship of Robinson, the veteran catcher. A gentleman, prominent in league ccmpany, while in this city a few days ago, was discussing the remarkable achieve- ments of the Baltimore team during the past two years. Said he: you know who Is directly responsible for the fastness of that team?” Several guesses were made, but they were not in accordance with the information in the possession of the magnate, who went on to say that McGraw Inspired the other members of the team for fast work. When McGraw became a member of the team he at once displayed an activity in the field that astonished some of his associates, and eventually they commenced to acquire his rapid style of playing. Following his exam- ple, Jennings, Kelly, Keeler, Reitz, Clarke, Gleason and the rest of the team, who were rot considered fast before they went to Baltimore, took to handling the ball quickly in practice, and finally they developed that remarkable form which has made them famous throughout the base ball world. There will be many who will not agree with At the next meetirg of the league an ef- fort will protably be made to do away with the Temple cup series and return the tro- phy to Mr. Temple. It appears that some of the magnates do not approve of the Temple cup scheme, because it is calculat- ed, they claim, to incite indifference #¢mong those clubs that do not have a show to compete for the prize by the time the sea- son is well advanced. It is also said that there has been too much advertising of Mr. Temple to satisfy some of the magnates, and therefore they are in favor of abolis! ing the competition for the cup and the ac- companying gate receipts, which, after all, is the greatest incentive to the ball players. Now, it seems strange that any magnate should object to the Temple cup scheme, or any other scheme that is calculated to stimulate the competition between the va- rious club3 in the league. If any condem- nation is in order, it should be visited upon the magnates for permitting an outsider to do the “generous act” by donating the cup. It is said that the present season has been more prosperous, from a financial standpoint, than any that has preceded it. All or nearly all of the clubs have mae money under the present arrangement of dividing the gate receipts between the com- peting clubs, without any “rake off for the league kitty." In view of the large proiits derived from the national game, the league might easily afford to offer a handsome cash prize to be distributed among the clubs coming in first, second and third. The fact that Joyce leads the league in home runs this season recalls the circ:m- stance that Washington holds the record for the greatest number of home runs made during a single game. During the season of 1887 the Washingtons and the Bostons played a game early in October at Capitol Park, The records will show that thiri2en home runs were made that day. The Wash- Ingtons scored five and the Bostons eight. Jim Whitney pitched for Washington and ‘ Kid” Madden for Boston. For Washing- ton, John Irwin made two, Paul Hines, Dealy and Cliff Carroll one each. For Bos- ton, Sam Wise and Sutton two each, Dicky Johnson, Billy Nash, Madden and ‘Morrill one each. While Dave Foutz was here with the Brooklyns he was taken with a reminiscent spell. He was talking about the propost- tion of Earl Wagner to give $25,000 for five players, providing he could obtain their release. “Talk aboyt spending money for ball players,” said Foutz, “the Brooklyn club lays over any club in the country when it comes to putting out money for players. Back in 1888, Brookiyn spent over $40,000 trying to get a winning team. They gave $20,000 for the Mets of New York, $17,000 for Bobby Caruthers, Doe Bushong and myself, $500 for Hughes, and $3,500 for Pop Ccrkhill and Burns.” Foutz says Doc Bushong was the best catcher to help a pitcher that ever stcod behind the plate, barring no one. Among some of the ball players it is sald tkat Shindle of Brooklyn is a shirker of hard-hit grounders. Well, he didn’t do a thing here but snatch everything that came down his way; besides, he won a new hat and necktie by hitting the sign board in extreme left field. If Charlle Abbey had hit the ball through- out the season as he has been hitting it during the past six weeks he would be up among the first dozen sluggers of the league. The report that Billy Nash is going to New York to manage the Giants next sea- son recalls the fact that Billy was always arxious to play in Washington. His de- sire dates back to the days when he used to play on the Richmonds of Virginia. That “phenom” from Frederick, Moles- werth, exploded in Philadelphia, ‘and yet Ccnnie Mack insists that the Phillies can’ not hit a left-hand pitcher. AMONG THE BALL PLAYERS. Games Played Yesterday by All the Clubs of the League. All the National League Clubs played yesterday, and ail the leaders won except Baltimore. The “Orioles” lost a close game to Brooklyn, while Cleveland again defeated Pittsburg. There is now only ten points between the two leaders, and should Baltimore lose again today and Cleveland win, the former will have a lead of two points. Yesterday's game between Washing‘on and Philadelphia was very easy for the latter. With Orth in the box, they de- feated Washington by a score of 15 to & it was Orth’s eighth successive victory, and he held the Senators down to ten hits. In only one inning—the sixth—was he hit hard, and then two singles, two doubles and a force hit earned three runs for the visitors. Joyce and Selbach, with two singles each, were the only “Senators” to make more than one hit. Orth gave three bases on balls, but he was just as steady #s in previous contests, and his regularity seemed to make him the more effective. Madison again played second base for the Phillies, and he accepted seven out of eight chances, Gilroy pitched seven innings for the vis- itors, and his delivery just suited the local batsmen, who made twenty hits for twenty-elght bases off him, besides two bases on balls and a man hit. Molesworth pitched the last two innings, and he gave three bases on balls, hit a man and was hit for seven singles. In all, the Phillies made twenty-seven hits for thirty-five bases. Madison led the batting, with four singles and a double out of six times at bat. Sam Thompson made a home run, a triple and two singles, and Delahanty made four singles. “Tuck” Turner held his end up with a triple and two singles, and Mike Grady and Orth each made three singles. The outfielding of Thompson and [tla- hanty were, according to the Philadelphia Press, features of the game. Thompson robbed Brown and McGuire of two base hits by pulling the ball down off the wall, and “Del” spoiled a triple for Selbach by catching !t on the back run. A stop and throw by Madison and the double plays by Sullivan and Madison and Demont, Crooks and Cartwright were other noteworthy fea- tures. The score tells the tale.

DULUTH, Minn., September 2i—Charlle Williams of St. Paul and Ed.Shepard fought fifteen rounds here last night. Shepard haé the best of the fight, which was a rat- tlipg one up to the end of the fourth round, scoring the first knock down, but Williams then rallied and did some good work. Shepard was groggy in the fourteenth round, and in the fifteenth was practically out, when the police stopped the fight. The referee awarded the fight to Williams. At 2:45 this morning Shepard was still in a dazed condition, and a physician was summoned, who reported that the man was in a very dangerous condition. CHOSING THE REFERER. No Trouble About Getting the Right Sort of a Man. DALLAS, Tex.,September 21—Dan Stuart, Fresident of the Florida Athletic Club, speaking of the failure to select a referee for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, at the meeting held in New York, said: “The mat- ter of a referee is not giving the club any concern now, but when the proper time comes if I can bring ic about, I say plainly right here that the referee shall be a west- ern or a southwestern man, and I do not consider that the eastern element has any right to dictate in this matter. What I want is a man acceptable to all concerned— the people at large, as well as the princi- pals in the contest. I have no objection to deferring the selection of a referee until the 30th of October.” — = = OF THE General Land Office - says: T had suffered for twelve years with my nose and Uuroat.
