PERIOD MARKED BY SUCCESS —— ‘The Departmental Base Ball League passed through its second season and from the opeaing until the closing game enjoyed great popularity and success. The sched- ule was divided into two parts, the cham- pions of the first half to play the team win- ning the honors of the second half for the champienship of the whole season. The Bureau of Engraving team, however, won both halves and was ent.tled to the cham- pionship without a play off. The attendance at the games was good and the contests be® tween the leaders attracted a great deal of attention. Some excelient games were play- ed,and demonstrated that an amateur league could flourish and win patronage and suc- | cess in the city of Washington. Probably the most notable team in the league outside of the winners was the Wasitington Ligh: Infantry team, and it was a surprise to thei: friends and adm.rers that they did not win vut in the end. There were n.ne clubs in the urst haif of the season. ‘these were the Bureau of Engraving and Printng, District Commissioners’ Ottice, Washington Light infantry, Army and Navy, Treasury. De- partment, Government Printing Oitice, Pos Utlice Department, City Post Otic? 3.on Office.

An amateur base ball leagve was formes about the m:ddle of the season, in which the Young Men's Christian Asociation and Pension Office teams were the leading spir- .ts. The other teams composing the league were the Mystic Shriners, Battmcre Y. M C. A., Hagerstown and Post Otltce Depart. ‘The games were played at Capito! Park, and some very good exhibitions of ball play.ng were given. ‘Tae attendance was good, and the amount of sue tion. The Chevy Chase Hunt Club fs the only exponent of fox hunting In this vicinity. The club wis organized in the fall of 1593, and since then has been growing steadily until now it can be said to possess the best equipment of any similar club south of w York. The spert has increased in popularity, and new members have been added to the organization, until now it numbers about two hundred. The club was recently organized as a country club, but riding has remained the chief attraction. Vhe club numbers among its membership me of the best-known riders in this part of the country, and possesses an exception- ally fine pack. Hach hunt has been more successful than the one preceding, and an excecdingly large number of riders are gen- erally in at the death, try ridden been very rough, casualties ve been few, and interest in the sport is pecoming greater and greater as each meet takes plaice. : 10 league seorel a fair 43 ap amateur orgeniza- Although the coun- Basket Bal This season saw a repetition of the Inter- est which was manifested tn basket ball lest year. As league was organized early in the fall, consisting of seven clubs as fol- lows: Washington Light Infantry, Young Men's Christian Association, Washington Athletic Club, Corcoran Cadet Corps, Poto- mac Wheelmen, W 7 chsts and the Carroll Institute it looks as though the Washi» ston Light Infantry would have the championship at the end of the season, but the oth are working hard to wrest that honor from ‘hem. The at- tendance at the games has shown the greatest amount of interest in this kind of sport, while the contests that have been put up by the various teams have shown science, training and skill on the part of the r teams expect nd contfic ly players and their coachers. The playing, although somewhat rough at the beginning of the season, has been toned down by the application of r until now the play is generally all unnecessary roughness. The cle petitors of the W. i. [are probably the Washington Athletic Club and the Carroll Institute,and the outcome of the season is looked for- ward to with great interest by the friends of all the clubs. e The annual fieid and track” sports of University were held Novem- most important f 2 was nee on the track of B.

A great deal of interest was manifested in foot ball durin Athletic Club, C s the year. The Colymbia humbian University,Orient Athletic Club, Potomacs and Gallaudet College were represented by the most not- able teams. The C. A. C. and Columbian University teams played on Thanks day, the former winning. teams the Orients seem to be entitled to the first place by their s iy work and number of games won. ides these there were any umber of minor teams, and the v nt lots in the city were crowded at all periods during the s on by the devotees of the peskin, big and littl. The Central High School team won the championship of the High Schools by superior work and team p! There was a great deal of dis- pute about the giving of dates by the C. A. Cc. team to sev i of the teams that want- ed to get gaines, although at present a Kame between the Orient and Columbia Athletic Clubs is a red for New Year day. This will settle the question beyond all doubt, as the Orients have defeated the other teams and have but the Columbian University and C. A.C. lown. The-game mas day bet n the U rsity of Virginia and the Columbian University was a disappointnent, as the Virginia boys failed to put in an appearance. Some cf the teams traveled out of town and were uniformly sent back home with more of the game than when they ving Of the remaining ing the tennis nt lot in son in the past year the city almost with- every out exception was taken up by the de- f the game.

Parsons winning both the hole and stroke matches. This club was about the only golf organization in this vicinity, and has {ts grounds, conSisting of 18 acres, on the Virginia side of the river, on the road ers to attra et wide atten- between Rosslyn and Fort Myer. The Christmas tournament was held during the holl and Mr. George Hellen won the president's cup and the championship of the club. Fiom the interest displayed it would seem as though the game had come to stay, as the grounds of the club were 1, with entries as fol- | thronged by a large crowd at each tourna- ment. Cricket. Early in July, through the efforts of Mr. A. W. Cherrington and other English gen- tlemen resident in Washington, the Wash- ington Cricket Club was organized with about thirty merabers. Cricket was played in this city during the war, but few of the present generation in this city have seen this game played. The local eleven played a match with the Catonsville Country Club near Baltimore, and although badly defeated, were much gratified at the show- ing they made. This was the only match with another club, but practice was con- tinued regularly three times a week at grounds locatec on 18th street and Colum- bia road. Expectations of a very success- pc ates curing the coming year are eld. Last winter's season in bowling close? February 15. There were five teams In the league, the standing at the end of the season being as follows: Carroll Institute, Colum- bia Athletic Club, Washington Athletic Club, Young Men’s Catholic Club and Buena Vista Club. Some excellent games were rolled and some very good individual scores were made. The sport was resumed in the fali as soon as coc! weather and the short day- Yght drove athletes from outdoor sporis Greater interest has been awakened in the contests by The Evening Star’s offer of a trophy. Polo matches have been enjoyed by teams from Fort Mytr and Chevy Chase. They have been but semi-public affairs and no great popular interest has been aroused in the sport, which requires such excellent horsemanship and such thoroughly traincd pon‘es that long practice 's required. Not- withstanding the close of the season, prac- ‘ce is kept up'at Fort Myer and great ngs are expected in the spring. There are several good croquet grounds in the city and these were occupied every evening during the year when the weather would per 2) ha on, and are making preparations for the ext year's pla: One Distr:ct tournament was held, beginning September 28. There were a number of entries of players who are famous all over the country and interest in the games ran high. The most notable fea- ture was the playing of Mr. W. H. Wahly, vho won with a clean record of eight games, jefeating ex-Champion of the United States George W. Johnson, one of the cleverest players of the country. By winning this Mr. Wahly is ert tled io a place in the first class of the national asseciation. Bieycling. During the year the bicycle grew rapidly in popularity, andthe number of cyctsts doubled, until now the estimated popula- tion of riders 1s placed at 18,000. The greatest increase was among the ladies. The general public was treated to more racing events than in any previous year. There were two track events, held hy the Columbia Athletic Club and Washington Road Club, three twenty-mile roud races, held by the Washington Road Club, Dupont Cycle Club and Sterling agency, and two club road races, held by the Altair Cycle Club and the Coleymbia Cycle Club. Fred. Sms made a class B record of 218 on May 30, and Fred. Schade a record in class A of 2.122-5 on October 19, bo.h exhibition miles, C. E. Wood won the District cham- pionship on May 30, Thanksgiving day T. N. Mudd, jr, lowered the twenty-mile road record six seconds to 59.80. Several attempts were also made to lower the Baltimore-Washington record. TOMORROW'S GAME. or! ts and Columbia A. C, Foot Ball ‘Teams to Meet. The game of foot ball tomorrow between the teams of the Orient Athletic Club and the Columbia Athletic Club will settle the question of the championship of the District neyond all question. If the Columbia boys should win, the second-place honor will be a trifle hazy, but every one will be satisfied to have the championship go where it prop- erly belongs, without any thought of fur- ther classification. When the C. A. C. gave the Thanksgiving day game to the Colum- bian University it seemed as though the nts, Potomacs, Gallaudets ahd the Can-*| ryS were not to be given a show. Now ever, the Oricnts lead all the other ms mentioned, and are, without doubt, t qualified to try conclusions with = present champions. The Orients have eaten the Poton and the Canterburys and tied the Gallaudets, but as the Canter- bury team defeate ‘he latter organization, it put the mutes out of the race. Should the Orients lose, it cannot be stated definitely, except by reference to the respec- tlve scores between the Orients and C. A. C. and C. A. C. and Columbian University, whether the Orients are a better set of men than the Columbian boys or not, but if they should come out victorious they will have undisputed possession of the title of cham- pions and the trophy, for this year, at least. The game will take place at National Par and will undoubtedly draw a large crowd. The C, A. C. always has a large contingent of rooters in its wake, while the Orients have all the backing of the Potomacs and the Canterburys and numberless other teams who did not have the right to com- pete for the @aampionship. It is expected that interest will run very high, and the ut- most precautions have been taken to have the be th the “me as free from unnecessary rough ple &® 7 as possible. Arrangements have beei. .aade for a large crowd, and the pl; ers will have no trouble in being interfered with by the crowd, as the field will be roped off effectually. FOUGHT THIRTY-SIX ROUN Neither Abbott Nor Dailey Able to Secure a Decision, The defunct Eureka Club, just across the Long bridge, opened its doors last night der new management—the Young Men's Athletic Club—and presented a fistic exhi- bition that was clever and hotly contested. In fact, it was ore of the hest contests ever seen in the house. The contestants were Stanton Abbott of England and Jack Dailey of Wilmington. After fighting thir- ty-six rounds, lasting two hours and eight minutes, beth stopped, and the referee de- clared the fight no contest. In fact, this was the only alternative, for both men pos- itively refused to continue. While there was only a few pounds difference in weight ween the principals, Dailey had much the better reach, and several times had the doughty little Englishman all but out. Jake Kilrain led the coterie of helpers in Abbott's corner, and by his careful atten- tion kept the Englishman on his feet. Dalley injured his left early in the contest, ard waa never in shape after to settle his men, although he had him “groggy” sev- eral times. Most of the fighting was done in Abbott's corner. Henry Koenig, the of- ficial referee of the club, officiated and gave satisfaction. —_———.__ HERNDO: Mrs. Dr. Russell was called to Maryland Thursday of last week on hearing of the sudden death of an aunt.

ALLIANCE Seventeenth Annual Banquet of This Veteran Orgaitization. SME STIRRING SPBECBES MADE A Large Attendance of Members and Their Guests. NEW OFFICERS INSTALLED The Union Soldiers’ Alliance met at the National Hotel last evening, the occasion being the seventeenth annual banquet of the organization. They were all men who. have known each other for thirty years or more, ever since they first met on the field of battle, and for the last seventeen years they have come together each season to re- new old friendships and cement newer ones. Under existing circumstances no more congenial gathering could be found anywhere, and the old veterans discussed the excellent menu set forth and recounted adventures and recalled reminiscences un- tl the early hours of morning. ‘The most conspicuous feature of the Gec erations was the predominance of the na- tional colors, a huge flag entirely covering one wall of the dining room, and number- less smaller ones filling every nook and corner of the prettily decorated room. The decorations of the tables were cut flowers and maidenhair fern made into dainty baskets, which were lighted by tiny in- candescent giobes from the inside. Aspara- gus vines twined prettily around tne va- rious articles on the table, while palms fill- ed every available space in the room. The menu card was an artistic creation, and was set off by a gay festoon of red, white and blue. An orchestra under the leader- ship of Mr. John Schroeder lent an added enjoyment to the evening’s entertainment. The custor of the organization in read- ing the names of those comrades who have gone from the Alliance forever was kept up by the reading of the list before the dimner, Secretary John L. Heupel perform- ing that impressive duty. The Speech-Making. After the dinner had been completed Dr. Frank T. Howe, the president of the Al- liance, arose, and in a happy effort sur- rendered his seat to the new president, Mr. John §. Stodder, who acted as toastmaster throughout the evening. Quite a long list of toasts was presented, which were responded to as follows: “Our Country—Supposed to be connected in some way with the Monroe doctritie,”” John Mc- Hlroy; * <ing; “The President of the United States —The executive, not the ruer, of a free people,” Dr. Frank T. Howe; “Our Alliance —Faithtul unto death,” Joseph O. Manson; had its ups and downs,” -F. ir Aliy—Woman,”* Gen. S. S, Burdeite; “Our Dead’ and in silence); “Our Army — Miles between it and our fpes,’” Gen. if. Doolitue, and lastly, Laps.” Speeches were also made by Represeatatives Baker of New Hampshire and Hardy of Indana, and Capt. M. T. Anderson, department commander, G. A. R.j Alt ‘the speeches were excellent, far avove-the average of postprandial eloquence,and many of them aroused the highest enthusiasm. besides President Stodder, there were elected these officers for iS: Vice presi- dents, Andrew J. Huntoow, John J. Har- rower and George John L. Heupel stant secretary, John R. Colleite; treasurer, ,Bamuel C. Lovejoy; proctor, Edgar H. Klemre Curson; secretary, ell and Col. L. P. Williams Gen.
