WALKER S ‘S, 3 z sel FOR HARRY. WRIGHT: Day Set Apart in Memory of the FATHER OF PROFESSIONAL BASE BALL Preparing for Trap Shooters’ Tour- nament. GENERAL SPORTIN G@ NOTES This is Harry Wright day throughout the base ball world, and the proceeds derived from the exhibition games will be deposit- ed as the nucleus of a fund for the erection of a monument to Harry Wright. The’ local attraction will be a game between | the Washingtons and a picked nine consist- ing of the star players of the Department- al League. President Sousa, of the latter organiza- tion, has selected the team of amateurs, as follows: McCauley, s.s.; Leach, 2d b.; Ful- ler, ¢.f.; Dickinson, 1st b.; Wisner, 3d b.; Nichols, c.; Barrows, Lf.; Brege, r.f.; Bern- ard, p. Substitutes, Gleason, Springman, Barrett, Kleinschmidt, Kellar, Ruppert, Havens and Harris. The fund is a worthy one, and Washing- ton should not be behind the other cities in its contribution, as the city has always been an admirer of the late genial man- ager. Game will be called at 4:15. Harry Wright's Career. Harry Wright made his first appearance in a match game of base ball in 1858, in a centest between picked nines of New York and Brooklyn. After seven years’ service at the bat, Wright, in 1865, accepted the position of professional to the old Cincin- nati Cricket Club. but two years later he was attacked with the base ball fever, so as a cure he cast his lot with the Cincinnati ball tossers. In 1868 he conceived the plan of profes- sionalism and organized the afterward fa- mous Cincinnati Red Stockings, which brought to him the title of which he was ever proud, that of “the father of profes- sional base hall.” The following year he oric record with his new team, a record which has never since been equaled in the turfed arena, for, as captain and manager of the original model profes- sional base ball team of America, he won with them every game they played, travel- ing to all points of the compass, even as far =s California. Soon after the disbandment of the Red Stockings Harry Wright accepted an offer to take a team of Boston players under his wing, and then began the career of the equally famous Boston Red Stockings. Four of his best players deserted him the following year—Pitcher Spalling, Catcher James White, Ross Barnes, second base- man, and Cal McVey, first baseman—the sig Four,” as they were known, signing with Chicago, Spalding assuming the man- ent. ight pulled hs nine together again, and brought the pennant back to Bos- ton, and again a year later completed the agnificent record of six out of eight suc- cessive years of victory. Providence secured Wright in*the early eighties, and after a brief stay he went to Philadelphia, where he further added to his record, bringing that club from out of the tuck to a close second plag in 1887, with the highest percentage they have ever at- tained in champion contests. At the close of the season of 1893 he re- tired from the management. The National League, as a recognition of his services, created the post of chief of umpires and selected him to fill it. He passed away October 3 last, loved and regretted by all who knew him. As a tribute to his memory the league set apart today. THE SENATORS AT PRACTICE. They Take Things Easy, Good Ball.

Had Mercer re- imained in the box to win, . Senators would have probably been victorious, He very sensibly substituted McJames and kept him in until the finish, and gave him @ good trial. Reilly’s lucky drive into the bleachers netted two runs and won the game for the visitors. Those who saw Fri- day’s gaine were pleased, for it was as pretty a contest as one is apt to witness on @ league c jonship day. And Saturday’s game, too, gave the Sen- ators good practice. The home club de- feated the team-from Portsmouth by the score of 4 to 3. The Washington pitchers simply handed them up to the Portsmouth batters, but owing to the sharp fielding the Virginia boys secured only ten hits. The’ Portsmouth pitcher, on the other band, being young and ambitious, twirled the ball for all he was worth, and as a re- sult the local players found considerable difficulty in connecting with the ball, six ‘hits falling to their share. The way the major league teams have been handled by the minor Jeague clubs this year aptly illustrates the difference between old and young blood. The former need warm,pleasant weather before striking their real form, while the latter play their best at the start and come to a standstill before the season is two months old. The game Saturday was extremely inter- esting, as the Senators had plenty to do, and did it well, and the Portsmouth club was right on their heels from start to fin- ish. The game was replete with brilliant plays, nothing escaping from the local players, while Burke, on third for Ports- mouth, was the only one that transgressed on the error column. Saturday Games.

King George Toasts Those Who Aided in the Restoration of the Stadium. The festival at Athens in honor of the seventy-lifth anniversary of the indepen- dence of Greece continues, though most of the important athletic events have been decided. A luncheon was given yesterday at the palace in honor of the victérs in the games, the guests at which included the members of the various committees con- nected with the festival and correspondents of foreign newspapers and representatives of the local press. All the members of “he Princeion ‘and Boston teams were pi -sent. After the luncheon King George toasted M. Averof, the rich Alexandrian, who made such liberal donations for the restoration of the Stedium, as well as other donors to the same purpose, the Crown Prince Con- Stantine and Princes George and Nicholas. He also said that he hoped the foreign athletes present would proclaim abroad the success of the games and the evidences they had seen of Greek progress. THE CYCLISTS’ PARADE.

The contest Saturday evening resembled those held Sat- urday evenings in the compass whist fea- ture. The entries, however, were by fours. Two of each fcur played ail the north and south hands; their partners played the east and west hands. The short suit four came out ahead, but this ts probably as much due to the fact that the team was the strongest one participating as to the sygtem of play adopted. Comparisons were als made by pairs, by ascertaining how many tricks each pair made plus or minus of the average for the hands played by them.

Booth Wanted, It is Claimed, to Eradicate It From the Salvation Army Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth gave out a statement in New York last night, in which the differences with Gen. Booth of the Salvation Army are detailed. They say, in part: “Gen. Booth’s visit was the primary cause of the trouble between us and him- self. From the first to last he impressed us with hig displeasure and dissatisfaction with us personally and with our method of administering affairs. “For years we had not+been consulted on the important moves and innovations of the army,-although supposed to be two of-| its most prominent and responsible offi- cers. “During his last interview with us in America the general stated that he wish- ed us to assist the struggling work in Can- ada by giving up @ certain portion of the United States to be annexed to the do- minion. We expressed our willingness to further assist our, comrades in Canada with money (having already helped them financially), but? tfet the annexation of American territoryoto Canada was quite impracticable and would damage the work. Our arguments carried no weight, and the general considered them unreasonable. “When we spoke '6f the national feeling he closed the céntr@versy by drawing his finger down ne map of North America in three sections, declaring that ultimate- ly he intended to: cu the country in three, joining each to*a portion of Canada to break down any) national feeling that ex- isted. We said “suc division would ruin the work in this country, where the un- broken union ‘of states means so much. After the general réturned to England a lengthened. corsespondence followed, in which we gave a,number of reascns against this fe loved and ay “We loved and ufderstood this country. He exhibited prejudice and misconception of it and its peopl He objected to the display of the<national flag upon our badges and in our halls and homes. He said the time had arrived to cease carry- ing the stars and stripes at the head of our parades. He objected to the use of- the eagle upon our crests, and constantly spoke Geprecatingly of the country, its people and its institutions. “They forced us to make the annexation, and at the present time the army work in Dakota, North Montana and North ‘Washington is governed from Toronto, and we ‘have been told that the officers hard- ly dare to let the citizens of these states know that their money goes to the Ca- nadian headquarters.
