Tl Wagner of the Washington Base Ball Club reached the city from Phila- delphia shortly before noon today. When Mr. Wagier reached his hotel he found awaiting him Catcher McAuley, whose signed contract was received but a few cvys ago, after following Manager Schmelz from town to town for several months. McAuley strongly resembles Conpie Mack, though not so tall as the manager-captain of the Pirates. He is a trim, refined-look- ing young man, and the favorable descrip- ticns cf him that have appeared heretofore were not amiss. ‘This is the day specified in the contracts for the players to report in this city, and Bill Joyce and Jack Crooks are scheduled to arrive this afternocn. Maul was report- ed to have left Philadelphia this morning, and the eastern contingent, Lush and Rogers, bre expected to arrive before night. Anderson, Boyd ‘and McJames have not been heard from, but will doubtless come in on time. In spite of the condition of the grounds, the players in town indulged in practice both in the morning and afternoon today. McAuley brought with him from Rhode Island a report that has been current for some time to the effect that the Washing- ton management had released Regers, but it was promptly exploded by Mr. Wagner, mile; third race, the Federal stakes, $1,000, |-O believes Rogers to be a coming player. for three-year-olds, fifteen entries, six and How Would You Look In a New Shirt Let me have your measure this evening or tomorrow and I can have your order finished in time for Easter wearing.

Next Saturday evening there will be a pair compass whist contest, entries of both members and their guests being made by pairs. Heretofore the members have been at a disadvantage, by reason of the mem- bers pairing by lot and non-members play- ing with their accustomed partners. A meeting of the various clubs was also held at the Capital Bicycle Club Saturday evening, and arrangements were made for another serles of inter-club whist matches. Six clubs will participate in the next con- test, viz: Capital Bicycle, Capitol Hill, I Street, Mt. Pleasant, Le Droit Park and Washington Chess Clubs.

Georgetown Easily Won. The Yale Law Schcol met its second de- feat in this city Saturday at the hands of the brawny players who compose George- town’s team. After Yale had made six runs in the first irming off’ Lambert, Ma- honey was put in to pitch, and the game was never in doubt after that, the blue and zray winning by a score of 21 to & The game was not exceptionally bright nor inter- esting, with the poss'ble exception of Ma- honey’s batting, and the Georgetown men seemed to have no difficulty in finding Buckingham’s curves. The fielding of both teams was a little off color, with Yale one error In the lead. The score: 11001 405-2) 60000 19 20-8 55 Georgetown . Yal The men comprising the third assignment of the second series in the ninep:n tourna- ment of the Columb‘a Athletic Club com- pleted thelr quotas of eight games each Saturday night, and some changes in the order of the players were noted before the end of the bowling. Denekas, who form- erly led the list, dropped to third place, and Hunter took his place in the lead. Demo- net stands second, Fanclulli third, Griffin fourth and Myers fifth. The quotas of all the men will be finished Wednesday, Fri- day and Saturday evenings, and there is a Prospect of some very pretty bowling be- tween the closely bunched leaders. The scores of Saturday night's games were as follows: Hunter Demonet Griffin J. Brot Goodale 2 Denekas . 22 Myers 18 King . 18 Bennett . 17 Treadway . Catholic University’s First Game. Yale Law School will play its, third and last base ball game in this city this after- noon et Capitol Park with the team from the Catholic University, the game being called at 3:30 o'clock. - This ‘will be the first appearance. of the Catholic University team. The score of the game will deter- mine whether the team will be in it with the Columbian University and Georgetown or not, and for this,reason it should at- tract a good deal of attention. The Cath- olic University team will be taken from the following: Nichols, McTighe, Burrows, Cushman, Tuoghley, Stewart, Quinn, Proc- tor and O'Neill. California Race Track Conspiracy. The racirg stewards of the CaHfornia Jockey Club have made a report expelling Jockeys Jerry Chorn and Chevalier, also “Little Pete,” the Chinese plunger, on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the booxk- makers. Dow Williams and his horses are warned off the track, and permission to ride is refused Jockey Hinricks. It is not known- exactly how much “Little Pete” made out of the.scheme, but as he was in the habit of betting from one to three the.sand dollars on a race and nearly al- ways won, the amount probably suns high into the thousands. Showalter Far Ahead. The eleventh game of the ohampionsaip chess match of the United States between Kemeny and Showalter was won by Show- alter at Philadelphi: rday right, Kem- eny resigning on the {forty-third move.

S The following men are in the Lafayette Preparations That Are “Just as Good™ Will Seldom Stand the Test. From the New York Timea. We are confronted with the serious probe, lem of how to prevent keepers of drug: stores from palming off some preparation! of thelr own in place of goods that are. guaranteed to be pure and wholesome, and which are put up in original packages, with the name and trade mark of the manue facturer on them. No large and profitable sale can be ob« tained fot any article which has not merit behind it. The advertiser merely makes known the quality of the article he hias td fell, and his, profits come from the steady demand of retail customers, who find by. experience that the article is what it ig represented to be. He makes his goods on @ large scale, saves all possible economics, and, naturally, can make the best article. But the keen competition of business brings a constant pressure upon the retailer to substitute an inferiof article for one on which there is a living profit. There is one aspect of” the sale of ‘sub- stituted goods which the public certainly, should krow about. There are many no: secret manufacturefs of drugs in this cou! try who will put up an imitation of a me «ine, with the name and label of the local druggist who sells ft on every package, The druggist who buys these goods has no guarantee that they are pure, ond, as a matter of fact, they are frequently adul- terated with comparatively harmiess drugs, which cost, however, much less than the real drug. The manufacturer would not care to sell them under his own name as pure because it would injure his reputa~ tion. If the druggist put them up himself, he probably would not have the skill, nor the deliberat: dishonesty, to substitute cheap woods for dear ones; but by shifting the responeibility, the fraul on the public is lost sight of.” It is not the manufacturer’a business; it is not the druggist’s business, , although they are sold under his name; a profit is made all around, and only the pub- lic is the loser. . When you ask in a drug store for any particular article that you want, and are put off with the answer that the druggist has another, mage by himself, which is not enly better but cheaper, take care! You can always afford to pay a few cenis more for that article which has a record of years of results back of it. —__. Death of a War Correspondent.
