‘THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, ‘MAROE 21, 1896-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. WILL SOON BE HERE Early Practice of the Washingtons to Begin Ere Long. THE PROPOSED LOCAL LEAGUE -Opposition to the Temple Cup Games. NOTES OF THE PLAYERS —_>—_—_ ‘The Senators will soon be here to begin active practice. ‘Old Reliable” Jim Mc- Gvire and wif@ have arrived. Mack is-in splendid condition, weighing less than he did at the beginning of last season, and says he feels able to duplicate his last season's work, when he caught consecutive games. He has spent the winter in fishing and outdoor exercise, and for the past six weeks has been coaching a college team at his home city of Albion, Michigan. Upon his departure from there Wednesday his friends, headed by the college boys, accom- panied by all the brass bands, drum corps and other noise-producing inventions of the place, escorted him to the depot. Some of the boys transformed themselves into an improvised jinrickshaw, upon which Mack was triumphantly carried, much against his earnest remonstrance. Mack’s mother died this winter, in consequence of which he will not return to Albion at the close of this sea- son, but will join Cartwright in a southern sojourn. President Hart of the Chicago club has given it out that the coming season will be the last for the Temple cup, and backs up his assertion with reasons therefor t reach the lergth of a column in a Chicago paper. Washington will not be directly in- terested in the Temple cup for the next couple seasons, but from an unbiased view of the situation, it would appear that for every reason advanced by Hart for the abandonment of the series there are at least a dozen why they should continue. The chief argument advanced by the Chicago man is that the games are liable to become crooked, owing to the additional money that Would accrue, but that point seems almost silly, as it is borrowing trouble, and S upon no foundation whatever. It is also claimed that this division of money was what wrecked the brotherhood, while, in fact, the league was the chief sufferer of the two, every man in it losing money, while Al. Johnson was about the only sufferer tn the brotherhood. Hart’s argument about the second club being bound to win the cup is also + as base ball is too uncertain to pick winners, and because games have resulted the same way three times in suc- cession it is no 2-to-1 bet that the club that wins the league championship will not win the Temple cup also in ". The Westera League has been presented with a similar le trophy by a Detroit newspaper, and a litt extra money will come the way of the fi two clubs in that organization. This idea of the players raking in about $0 each on extra-season games has been unpopular with several managers since the great s cess of the first cup series, and the financial question is no doubt the chief mote in the Chicago magnate’s eye. The best advice for the magnates who oppose the Temple cup series is not to borrow trouble, and to let well enough alone. They made consid able money last year, but from present dications will make more this, dnd s look on the question in a generous w not begrudge the players the little ad remuneration they secure throu work in trying for the pennant. Last season there were really only two clubs in the Departmental League. the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Light Infantry teams, that could draw enough people to National Park to pay ex- penses. Mr. Strasberger, who has secured the option on the grounds, with last sea- sen’s experience staring him in the face, refuses to sublet the grounds to the De- partmental League, and insists on a guar- artee. With the other department clubs out, it would not be a departmental league, therefore, why not call it an ama- teur league, take in the strong athletic clubs and insure thereby a successful sea- sen. Mr. Strasberger has no objection to Mr. Sousa assuming the reins of manage- ment of the new league. if he will insist on the clubs under him fulfilling their obliga- tions to the letter. The clubs last year ap- peared at the grounds without suits, began piay so late that a full game couid not be gone throvgh with, and everything was done in such a slipshod way that the on- lookers frequently left the grounds in dis. gust and never returned. When an ad- mission is charged to see games, the pa- trons should be looked after, and if this wise course carnot be pursved the commz season, the grounds will be closed to ama- teur clubs. Catcher Zimmer and Left Fielder Burkett of the Cleveland club have refused to sign contracts with that club for thi less they are allowed the Without these two men the Spiders weakened about 15 per cent, as Burke: the best batter in the coun! and there are none better than the catch- ers’ class. These players have been offered $2,100, but are worth the limit if any one s. Mr. Robison of the Clevel: ys he will go no more, end charges the players with ingratitude, because he gave them the tunity to play in the Temple cup and thereby make about $50. T Cleveland club cleared about $25,000 I on, owing to the superb work of the identally got Into the Tem- > cup series. Had the team finished, say, eixth, would the club have cleared that Rice sum? Now, because the players who contributed about 15 per cent to last year’s Success demand an increase of $600 as a reward for their good work, the Cleveland magnate charges ingratitude. Both Bur- kett and Zimmer have more than a fair share of intelligence, and will, no doubt, play for the salary offered rather than re- main idle, but it is a fair guess that they will not put forth their best efforts, but will ve exactly $2,100 worth of play, nothing ‘e, nothing less. L: year Childs’ dis- isfaction probably lost the Clevelands the pennant, as through his absence and poor play fully a dezen games were lost. With Burkett and Zimmer dissatisfied, it Is a foregone conclusion that through lack of unity the team will be lucky to finish in the first division. Young and Cuppy may pitch their arms off, but if they haven't the proper support their good work will go for naught. Instead of a case of ingratitude, it looks like a cise of non-ap- preciation. From all the surface indications it ap- pears as if the entire New York press has taken it in its head to drive Fred Pfeffer off the New York team. The attacks made on him are not open and above board, but break out here and there in little para- graphs to tke effect that it is becoming evident day by day that Pfeffer will not do at second and that he will have to go. One writer especially has had it in for Pfeffer ever since last fall and has kept up a con- tinval bombardment of abuse ever since. ‘The first game Fred played in Jacksonville he had 5 put outs, 3 assists, 5 hits, includ- ing two doubles, and 1 error. The one error did the business, and he was ham- mered by this persistent writer, who is with the Giants on the trip to the south. In the games since then Pfeffer has more than held his own and cannot but strength- en the New Yorks where they were weak last season. He is undoubtedly one of the est second basemen in the business, taking batting, fielding and base funning into con- sideration, Bid McPhce being about the only man that can outpoint him. If Pfeffer gets away from New York he will undoubt- edly go to Chicago, and, if the backers of the latter club are not doing a little mis- sionary work in the way of subsidizing the New York base ball writers to “knock” Fred, then all the irdications fail. Arthur Irwin is aware of Pfeffer's worth and will try to hold onto him, but persistent under- hand play cannot but have its bad effect in the end. Base Ball Notes. Tommy Dowd got what he went after and ‘went to Texas with the St. Louis team. Dick Cooley and Breitenstein are still out- side the fold. The former wants more mon- ey and the latter claims the club broke its agreement. “Tuck” Turner for Cincinnati wouldn't be a bad move. The Phillies can spare him, and he would strengthen the Red Legs where they are a little weak. Hoy and Burke are better fielders, but “Tuck” as a batter is In A-1 class. The Cleveland boys are crowing over their victories with the Pittsburgs out at Hot Springs. The latter club is minus Ely, the Shortstop, and the pitchers are taking things easy, therefore it is hard to get a line on the two clubs. The exchange of Cartwright for Tucker does not look like a bad one for either side. Cartwright outfielded and outbatted the Boston boy last season, but the Senators are shy on hustlers and Tucker would be @ great help to Joyce. ‘The lines are drawing closer around the dissatisfiea players, Rusie, Breitenstein, Burkett, Zimmer, Cooley and Foreman be- ing the only ones that have not signed contracts and are still outside the breast- works. The strength of the Senators will be in- creased the coming season owing to the fact that every player on the team is satisfied with his contract and has no kick coming over salary. If there is playing ability on the team it should come out. “You Lose” Mack of the Pittsburgs says the smoky city team will make a runaway start in the pennant race and keep it up throughout the season. He only wants three straight at Cincinnati at the opening of the season. If Pittsburg can hold to- gether through July they should be well up in October. Eight Louisville boys will be found in the Norfolk (Va.) team this season. More rain at the Springs. At least ten days have been lost. Five inches of rain in nine hours at Houston, Tex., made Anson gloomy. McGraw was hit by the ball Tuesday. He didn’t talk for five minutes. John T. Brush has doled out those silver passes. Digby Bell received one. The cost of the improvements on the Phil- adelphia grounds is placed at $45,000. Catcher Dick Buckley of last year’s Phil- adelphia team has signed with Indian- apolis. Tom Daiy of the Brooklyns says he has no fear of being replaced at second base by Bonner. With Latham captain, Von der Ahe pres- Ident, Diddlebock manager and Mucken- fuss secretary, the St. Louis club is heav- ily handicapped. Tom Kinslow considers John Mullarkey one of the most promising of the young league pitchers. “I don’t know where he gets his speed from,” says Tom, “but he has it, just the same, and some mighty good curves with it.” Fred Pfeffer has not been playing like a man who has “dissipated for months,” or who was only on the verge of the grave recently. He has hit safely in each of the five games he has played in, having a total of ten hits. He has a record of twent three chances accepted without an erro! Exchange. Suppose Harry Stovey had listened to the pleadings of “Bill” McGunnigle in 1890 and accepted the offer of $15,000 for a three- years’ contract to go to Brooklyn, $2,000 in advance. His subsequent career might have entirely changed. He would have had a “cinch” for three years at any rate, as Gus Abell’s word is as good as his bond.— ‘orse, in Snorting Life. , Never before in the history of base ball in St. Louis has there been as little con- fidence in the ability of the St. Louis icam to cope with those in other league cities, and this is largely attributed to tne fact { that the getting together and getting into shape of the players has been sadly neglected.—Ex. Doyle made a beaut-ful long headforemost slide to the base just for practice. The boys applauded the slide, and one remarked: “That is something Carey did not do all last seasot Base running is one of the most important things in bese ball, and as a base rurner Doyle is as strong as Carey was weak. Cooley is taking a strong stand. He took up the proper position and hel it manfully. He has a chance for his “white alley.” The odds agaiast Breitenstein are cverwhelm- 4 ore he signed a contract he was in safe po: nding stenes. McPhee’s work is as clean and_brii as ever it wos, and the is not as ycung as he was when he joined the Reds in 1882 fs a picture of the team of 1882, which hangs in a half-way house near the New Orleans Park. This represents Mack as a slim. smooth-faced boy. Breitenstein went out to Sportsman's Park Tuesday, but did not come to terms with Mr. Von der Ahe. In fact, the presi- dent refuscd to see him, and instead of a personal interview, strved a written no- tice on the pitcher that if he did not show up on April 16 in good condition he would be severely disciplined. He also informed Breitenstein that his presence around the Tace track was “distasteful, and would cause unnecessary comment.”” It is now in order to raise the old howl of “he is dis- contented and will not do good work in St. Louis” to furnish a good excuse to sell n E A Cleveland paper says: ‘Philadelphia is no stronger than last season, while Pitts- burg is a great deal. Though the World has done its share of joking with the Pitts- burg people about Fred Ely and Denny Ly- ons, the addition of these men to the Pitts- burg infield will strengthen the Pirates. Lyons, of course, will have to keep sober to be of any vse to Pittsburg, but there is good enough reason to believe that he has decided that he must mend his ways. Pitts- burg ought to finish as good as fourth. Fifth is atout the lowest the Pirates will fall.” LAWN TENNIS. Official Schedule for the Coming Sea- son.

NATURE OF THE EVENTS —_—_+___. The most interesting international ath- letic contests will be the Olympian games at Athens next month. America will be represented by a team from Princeton Col- lege, who sail for Naples today on the steamship Fulda. The athletes will go from Naples to Brindisi by rail, to Patras, Greece, by boat, and by rail again to Athens, arriving there the day before the games begin. The contests will be held at Athens from April 5 to 15. This gives the men no time to train ex- cept to take such exercise as may be pos- sible on the steamship. Departure From Princeton. It is safe to say no other athletic contests in which Princeton has ever entered has caused more enthusiasm among the under- graduates than the ones to be held at Athens. Pandemonium reigned at the depot yesterday, when, amid the cheers of the en- tire undergraduate body, the quartet started on the journey. The men, with the exception of Jamison were in excellent condition. Jamison is su: fering from a sprained ankle, but will be in shape in the course of a week. Capt. Weir of the Fulda has promised to give the ath- letes every opportunity to train while on the water, and a daily schedule of work has been, prepared. Captain Garrett expressed himself as be- ing confident that his men would acquit themselves creditably, and that their efforts would reflect credit upon America and her athletes. While none of the young men Who will represent the college at Athens next month have distinguished themselves at the Mott Haven games, two of them, at least, are believed to be intercollegiate winners under favorable circumstances. These are Lane, ‘97, and Tyler, ’97. Jamison, *97, and Cap- tain Garrett are not considered quite as promising, as the other two members of the eam. The Team. Captain Robert Garrett prepared for col- lege at Baltimore, and entered Princeton in 1893. He is the son of the late T. Harrison Garrett, a brother of Robert Garrett, the former president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. In his freshman year at Princeton young Garrett showed some ability in the weights and jumps. Trainer George Goldie took him in hand. trained h'm in putting the shot especially, and has now succeeded in putting him very close to the first rank of college athletes. He has gradually increased his distance in the shot-put from thirty-five to forty feet. In the broad jump his best distanée is 2f feet 9 inches, and in the high jump 5 feet 8 inches. At Athens he will enter all these events; in addition he will compete in the horizontal bar vault and the throwing of the discus. He recently established a col- lege record in the horizontal bar vault by doing 7 feet 3 inches. Captain Garrett is twenty-one years of age, weighs 176 pounds, and stands 6 fect 1% inches tall. Francis A. Lane, '97, is the man whom Princeton students look to more than any other member of the team to win glory for his college. At his preparatory school he made a wide reputation as a sprinter, win- ning the champtonship of Ohio in the 100- yards run in 10 1-5 seconds, and subsequent- ly in 10 seconds flat. In the fall handicap games at Princeton he won his heat in the hundred from scratch in 10 seconds flat, but the effort lamed him, and he did not enter the final heat. He {s now in the very pink of condition. Mr. Lane is twenty-one years of age, weighs pounds, and measures 5 feet and 10 inches. Albert Clinton Tyler is widely known as the right tackle of the ’Varsity foot ball eleven. After Captain Lea's injury in the Harvard-Princeton game last fall, Tyler was intrusted with his place in the line. His home is at Wyoming, Cincinnati, Ohio. In "93 he competed in the fall handicap games of the track team, the pole vault being his specialty. He is the holder of the state record for Ohio in the pole vault. He is twenty-three years of age, stand 6 feet tall and tips the beam at 180 pounds. He will enter but one event at Athens—the pole vault. H. B. Jamison of Peoria, Ill., is the lucky youth whom Captain Garrett has selected to take as a substitute for Colfelt, 9, whose parents objected to his accompanying the team to Athers. His best performances are as follows: 100 yards dash, 10 1-5 sec- onds; 220 yards dash, 22 3-5; quarter-mile run, seconds. At the Interscholastic championship meet in 1893 he distinguished himself by winning for his school three events, the 5, the 100 and the 220 yards dashes. In the fall of 1893 he went to Prince- ton and secured a position on the track team in his freshman year. Since that time he has represented Princeton on the track in all games, and has made a creditable record. He will run in the 400 meters race, which is about equivalent to the quarter- mile run on American programs. His weight is 150 pounds, his age twenty years, and his ght 5 feet 10 inches. ‘or the last four or five weeks Manager E. B. Turner and Trainer Jack MacMas- ters, have been at work with a few of the track team with the purpose of getting them in training for the Olympic games, The Olympic Games. The increase in popularity cf athletics during the past decade in this country will turn the eyes of the entire country on these contests of ancient renown. Following is a list of the events on the Program of the games: A.—Athletic sports—(1) foot races, 100, 400, 80@ and 1,500 meters flat (equiva- lent to about 110, 440, 880 and 1,650 yards respectively), and 110 meters with hurdles (equivalent: to about 120 yards); (2) con- tests, running long and high jump, pole vault, putting the shot, and quoiis; () cross country race, 48 kilometers (equiva- lent to 20.76 miles), from Marathon to Ath- ens, for _a cup offered by M. Breal of the Frerch Institute. This is to recall the famous run of the messenger who carried the news from Mar- athon to Athens. B.—Gymnastics—Individual armpull, hori- zontal bar, rings, parallel bars, vaulting, weights. Teams of rot fewer than ten memters will be admitted to contests yet to be arranged. C.—Fercing and wrestling. D.—Marksmanship. E.—Yachting and rowing, according to entries and under special rules, to be ob- tained from the French Yacht Union. F.—Cycling, 2,000 and 10,000 meters (equivalent to one mile and a quarter and six miles and a quarter respectively), on a track without pacemakers; 100 kilometers (sixty-two miles) and twelve-hour contests with pacemakers. G.—Hcrvemanship. H.—Contests in lawn tennis and cricket, or similar games, for which contestants and tesms offer. Olympic games in the future will take Place at the following dates and places: 1900 at Paris, 1904 at New York city, 190$ at London. The Ancient Contests. The exact date of the origin of the Greek Olympic games is unknown. This is owing to the fact that the ancient Greeks desired the origin of the Olympic festivities to ap- pear of a much earlier date than they were. The legends of the people tell of the be ginning of the games and of the'r signifi- cance regarding religious matters, but nothing authentic is known concerning the date of their origin. The first games of which anything is recorded were of a humble and unimportant variety. The events in the first games were limited to long distance races. These contests of long distance. running were held on the meas- ured course known as the Stadium. Grad- ually these athletic contests became more and more important among the Greeks, and as their importance increased the num- ber of the events was also made larger. After the occasion of seventh Olympic games, the wealthy as well as the common citizens turned their attention to them, and from that time until nearly the fall of the Grecian empire the games increased in im- Portance. In the eighteenth Olympiad box- Nothing Sueeeeds Like Success : The success of “1235” has been truly wonderful. With one bound it has jumped into popular favor.

In the twentieth many novelties Were in- troduced, such as men racing in full armor, colts racing and doing the work of full- grown horses, and boys taking part in events similar to those entered by men. The chariot races were confined to the wealthier class of people. In these races the contestants siruggled not only to win the prize, but also to show their wealth and the amount of gold they could distrib- ute about their chariots and harness. All other events were open to rich and poor alike; no man who could prove a pure Greek descent was delarred from entering. Rigid rules were made and enforced among all contestants. The Olympic festivities were solemnized every fifth year, and were from four to five days in duration. They were held on the banks of the Alpheus, in the territory of the Elis. The games derived their name from Olympia. the village in which they took place. Olympia was a site supposed to be hallowed by the gods, and the Greeks con- sidered that the gods were pleased by these athletic contests. They were held with the firm conviction that the wrath of the gods would be propitiated and that all pestilence would be removed from the land. Prizes of gold and silver were given the victors up to the time of the seventh Olympiad, but after this the winners were given only a wreath of white laurel. The Olympic games began with the full moon, and were con- tinued day and night until finished. During these games a treaty of peace was made with all nations, and was known as a sort of “truce of God.” Any violation of this treaty was severely punished. A Spartan army in 420 B. C. was con- demned to pay a fine of two minae per man, a sum equivalent to about forty dollars in our money, for invading the country of the Elis during the period of the games. The revival of these games, once so renowned, anq the source from which our present sys- tem of athletics takes its rise, will be wel- comed on all sides. It is not saying too much to predict that the Olympic games will once more gain their great popularity, and the entire world look forward to these quadrennial contests. Showered With Bouquets. NEW YORK, March 21.—Four young men from Princeton University, who go abroad to represent that seat of learning at the Olympian games in Athens next month, were the recipients of a most enthusiastic demonstration upon the occasion of their departure today. 4 Almost as notable was;the farewell given to the four representatbves of the Boston Athletic Assoclatioh; who also sailed on board the steamer Fulda, intending to par- ticipate in the same grand international events that attract'thé Young collegians to the scene of contests of centuries ago, Three large omnibuses were needed to con- yey the Princetonians and their friends from the Murray Hijl Hotel to the Fulda’s pier in Hoboken. There farewells were sald, and as the young afhletes went aboard the steamer they were showefed with bouquets by the ladies of the party. = beet is BOSTON'S O1AMPIC TEAM. = Records of the Athigtes.

The Washington Athletic Club and the Carroll Institute are again tied for first place in the bowling league series. “The W. A. C. won two games from the Y. M. C. C. last evening on their own alleys, and this puts that organization even with the Carrolls. The W. A. C. boys covered them- selves with glory, and bowled a brilliant game. The work of the two leading teams will be watched with a great deal of inter- est from this time out, as they are both evenly matched, and some close contests are looked for if the teams should end the season tied for first place. The scores last night were as follows: W. A. C., first game, 837; second game, M. C. C., first game, 6% econd game, 7 W. A. C. and Carroll Institute have each won 25 and lost 19 games. ‘The bowling of the W. A. C. team was of the star order, knocking down 1,702 pins being the largest two-game score, and in their second game being the largest single-game score of, tournament up to date. The team bowling in these games was remarkable, particularly in the second game. In this game nine pins separated the high and low man. WITNESSED BY MANY. The Home Trainer Races at the Cycle Show. The races at the cycle show at Washing- ton Light Infantry Armory last evening were witnessed by a large crowd. The race was for a half mile, open to all amateurs. Three entries were on the books when the time came for starting the race, C. Daly, Elbert Hebberd and Lange Scherer. In the first heat Scherer and Hebberd tied in the time of 50 seconds, while Daly rode in 48 seconds. In the run-off Scherer won in 51 seconds, and in the final between Scherer and Daly the latter won in 51 seconds. Harry V. Greer acted as referee; William Jose and C. L. Petze, judges; George E. Smith, Dr. W. W. Hodges and Rudolph Jose, timers, and W. T. Robertson, starter. Tonight the races will. be between Albert Banker and H. E. Gethams, and C. E. Clugy will go against time. These men have records that are well known, and their rid- ing should attract a large number to the locker room annex of the show. Opinions About the Wheel. - “Modern Cyclist,” writing to The Star, says: ‘As this is an appropriate time for bicycle enthusias:s to air their views, I | want to comment on the tendency of cycle- dom toward br:ghtly-colored wheels. A few years ego, one seldom saw them finished in anything but a monotonous black enam- el, or a rust-enticing nickel; there was no distin2‘ion—all looked alike, and one could hardly recognize his own if left among a number of others. The last season has shown a most welcome tendency toward a change, and the exhibit of the leading lines at the cycle show indicates such a full turn of the tide that we may now hope to see a complete break in the monotony. “What a funereal aspect our streets would show if all carriages, wagons, herdics and street “ars were in somber black. The bi- cycle is coming into more general use than any other vehicle, and its emancipation from its mournful robes is most pleasing to the eye, in conformity with good taste, and opens an opportunity for individual- ty”? ‘Humanitarian” writcs: Please allow one who admires the advancement of the “good “Crimson Rims Spin to Win.” See the big Indian Chief ——— ~at our stands (27 and 28) at the Cycle —— Show and listen to the “Whispers of the —— Fairies” in the Phonograph, free of charge.
