IN SPORTING CIRCLES Remarkable Contest Between the Grooms and Senators, LOCAL TEAMS RUN AT PHILADELPHIA Two College Ball Games to Be Played Today. THE RACING AT BENNING ng ee. All in all, it was a remarkable exhibition, the game of base ball played yesterday af- ternoon at National Park between Wash- ington and Brooklyn. The contest was such a one that furnished full value to those spectators who paid 75 cents for the privilege of witnessing it, while the occu- pants of the bleachers received a return of at least 300 per cent on the money in- vested. Frc:n start to finish there was a continnous succession of crescendos and diminuendos in the hopes of the rooters, and when in the ninth inning the twenty- seventh Bridegroom was retired, wild en- thusiasm prevailed among the 4,000 spec- tators, for Washington had won the most interesting and exciting engagement in the diamond perhaps of the season. It was an old-time slugging match, two of the star twirlers of the league, Mercer and Kennedy, being pounded surprisingly. But both were punished to about the extent. Marvelous fielding was also ture, Al. Selbach easily carrying off the honors in that line, three of his fly catches being of the old Dickey Johnston order. Tim Keefe was the umpire, and after Brown had been retired in the first inning he called four balls on Joyce. Abbey fol- lowed with a triple, and, with Selbach’s single, two runs were scored. This struck everybody as being a pretty good start, but when, in the third, three more runs were added on Mercer's four-bagger, Brown's doub'e, an error by Griffin, Ab- bey's sacrifice and Selbach’s single, ' folks began to wonder how it came about that the collection. of individuals wearing caps that look for all the world like cocoanuts could take two out of three from the cham- pion Baltimores. There was a sudden and marked cessa- tion of wonder a moment later, when Grim hit to right, took second and third on passed balls, Kennedy singled, Griffin got to first on Rogers’ error, LaChance hit for three bases, Shindle bunted to Joyce and Corcoran hit io left, for four runs were chalked up to the credit of the other side. Score, 5 to 4. The situation continued practically calm until the sixth inning, when matters be- came really heartrending, for Brooklyn didn’t do a thing but make ven hits and score six runs, ten men going to bat. Score, Washingte: Brooklyn, 10; and it's base balls to his y nuts that every individual within the inclosure, with no exceptions, 1 that the game was lost be- went right to work in the seventh and reduced the lead two points, on Joyce’s two-bagger and Ab- bey's home run, , for the playing Cart- to center, Me hed first_on an error and Rogers hit to right; De Montreville went out to first on Mer- cers short fly to left, which McCarthy barely failed to req McCauley and Rog- ers scored. Brown to center, sending Mercer io third. fom Daly fumbled Joyc ground hit and the winning men crossed the rubber. ‘Scrappy’ reached the bench while a 1 hit by Abbey was caroming ever LaChance’s head. Score, Washing- ton, i2; Brooklyn, 10; and even the usually sedate, non-excitable habitues ef the press box assunfed much gayety for the nonce. The remainder of the game was of the stereotyped sort, no further runs being made by either side. WASHINGTO: RH. Standing of the Clubs. Clubs. Washing‘on. Rie Today's Lengue Schedule.

Philadelphia New York... Base Ball Ne Young McJames, who twirled against the Giants Friday, will be in the box again today against Brooklyn, with McGuire us backstop. There is apparently not a weak spet in Brooklyn's line-up, and the prediction may safely be made that the Bridegrooms wiil rank among the leaders next fall. Umpire Keefe ruled that a mitten worn by Rogers exceeded in size the stipulations of the rule, and Jimmy had to borrow another. The curtain erected on the center-field fence not only shuts out the view of the occupants of an impromptu grand stand, but affords much amusement every time it is hoisted. Abbey continues to grow in favor with the bleachers, and his work yesterday was greeted with continuous ripples of ap- plause from the right-field seats. Third Baseman McGraw of the Baltimore club continues to improve. He is still in a hospital at Atlanta. The Baltimores were beset by a fog early yesterday morning, and the Fall River steamer on which they were passengers was forced to come to anchor. Manager Hanlon loaded his players into row boats and managed to reach Baltimore in time for the game. Umpire Lynch, who was on the same steamer, refused to risk the trip in the small craft, and therefore President Young sent Mr. John A. Heydler of this city to umpire the game. Says the Bal- timore American: “Mr. Htydier was here on time and umpired three Innings sat- isfactorlly, when Mr. Henderson made his appearance. The latter judged balls and strikes, while Mr. Heydler gave base de- cisions. There was no kicking, the work being entirely satisfactory to both teams.” Tommy Dowd made the first home-run hit of the season on the St. Louls grounds. Louisvilfe will play Pitcher McCreary at third base. Shannon and Morrison are too ight for the position. McCreary, too, is a good batsman, and if he can hold up his end In the infield may be kept there for the remainder of the season. The first Sabbath games of the major league season at Cincinnati and St. Louis brought forth an attendance of 33,000. In St. Louis the turnstile showed that 17,000 witnessed the defeat of the Colts, and this in spite of the fact that the Browns are almost unanimously regarded as the weak- est team in the major league. “Talking of monuments,” said Henry » “the old Excelsior rected @ handsome mon- ument to their noted pitcher, James Cr ton, which !s now an ornament in Gree wood cemetery, Brooklyn. Yet Creighton was not such a man as Harry Wright, who was a professional ball player, whose life and exemplary character was'a model to copy from for every profession! player in the land.” When the gates of the ball park in Bos- ton were closed Monday, which was some time before the game Closed there was still a crowd of about 5,000 persons clam- oring for admission at the gate: alpers were getting $150 for a resery seat, not including the admission fee of 5 cents, “If the batsmen could master the knack of placing their hits into right field they would fatten their batting averages,” say Tim Hurst. “In hitting to right there is a big loophole through which the ball can pe—the space between first and second But a hit to the other side of the mond stands in imminent danger of ng assisted to first by the short stop. here were more place hitters in the old days of the game, when the pitchers didn’t exercise such power as those of today, effects He almost solely in President Freedman of New York and Pitcher Westervelt have settled differences and the latter will begin practice with the Mew Yorks today. Mr. Freedman has no intention of giving in to Rusie, and Wester- velt will help to fill the gap. WHY WASHINGTON Won. Henry Chadwick’s Comments on Yes- terday’s Ball Game. Mr. Henry Chadwick, in commenting on yesterday's game, said: “I was delighted to see such a fine assemblage of spectators on the oceasion. The grand stand,” he said, “reminds me of the picture presented at Eastern Park in Brooklyn on ladies’ days there. With such an incentive as the presence of so many of the local beauties I don’t wonder at the success of the team.” In remarking upon the play, he said: “You have a splendid out-field trio in Selbach, Brown and Abbey. The former made some of the finest catches at left ficid I have seen for years past, and Abbey's activity at right field, in his quick returns of the ball, reminded me of the late veteran, Har- ry Wright's, outfielding in his palmy days with the Boston. In the infleld young De Montrevillle did splendid work. I notice that one of the papers charges him with a glaring error In the sixth Inning, but I did not see it. He accepted nine chances In the best stylé of the art, and cut off several base hits by his masterly fielding of hard hit bounders. It is very queer to me to see the majority of scribes so prone to be over critical of the work of the inficld quartet, in charging them with errors in not stop- ping difficult twisting bound balls; and yet these self-same critics wiil be very blind to errors of Judgment on the part of outtfield- ers in misjudging fungo hit balls. I saw that in Cincinnati, where the infielders were charged with errrors in not fielding hard-hit and difficult bounding balls, while fungo hits to the outfield, giving chances for catches, were credited as base hits when not caught, though the sun was glar- ing in the eyes of the fielders. Mvery praise is given to record batsmen, and very little |, to team workers.”” A Case of Bad Judgment. He was quite free in his comments on what he called the “errors of judgment on the part of captains” in sending visiting teams to the bat last in a game. “Buck Ewing,” he said, “lost yesterday's game in Cincinnati by just such stupidity, the Cleve- lands having to go in Idst in the ninth in- ning, with two runs to get to win, and they did it, and won by 11 to 10. It was nothing but Mercer's plucky work in the box yes- terday,” he continued, “that enabled the home team to win, as Joyce's blunder in giving Brooklyn the last chance at the bat would otherwise have lost the game. “There is not a single polnt to be gained in going in.first to the bat,” he :idded, “while it is very important to have a chance for a rally at the bat in going in last in the game. “i see that one paper charges Manager Foutz with saying that, Keefe gave the Serators several shades the best of it on balls and strikes. I am awfully tired,” he remarked, “of this boyish habit of aitrib- uting a team's defeat to the umpire. This and the cry of hard luck were two of John Ward's weaknesses. The fact that the Brocklyn batsmen gave their flelding oppo- nents eighteen chances for catches to nine given by the Washingtons had more to do with the visitors’ defeat than anything else. In seven innings’ play they failed to score a single run, and in four innings did not score a single hit, while in seven in- nings they made only three hits, and all of them were high balls in the air. To talk of decisions of the umpire as the cause of defeat in the face of the record is child- ish.” The Pitchers’ Work, In speaking of the pitching, he said that Kennedy did good work in the box In five of the nine innings, and Mercer was re- markably effective in seven out of the nine. Not a run was earned off the pitching in the innings in which the home batsmen made five runs. Speaking of the umpiring of yesterday, Mr. Chadwick sald: "I regret exceedingly to see that the same old disgraceful rut of kicking against the decisions of the um- pe which prevailed last year is being in- dulged in this season already. At Pitts- burg it was a row all through the game. It is stated that in the fourth inning, while the Louisvilles were at the bat, Capt. O'Brien and four or five other players lined up with their bats in hand behind the bat- ter at the plate, and the umpire at once put: O'Brien out of the game. Such con- duct as this should be nipped in the bud at the very start. Every player who leaves his seat on the bench incurs a fine of $5 every time he does it, under the new rules. Joyce should have been fined for his kick yesterday about a decision at first base, It shows the weakest kind of captaining. No such decision can be reversed, and not @ single point can be gained by kicking.” COLLEGE BASE BALL. Two Gamen to Be Played by Local Students Here Today. The Johns Hopkins base ball team will play the Gallaudet College nine in this city today. The Richmond College nine will play the Georgetown University nine this afternoon on the college campus. Lambert and Ma- loney will be the home battery. The Catholic and Columbian University nines met yesterday afternoon at Capitol Park, the latter coming out ahead by the narrow margin of one. McTighe pitched for the Catholic boys, and while he struck out seven men, he gave seven bases on balls, hit_two men and made two wild pitches, The Catholic boys outbatted the Columbians, and but for the wildness of their pitcher might have won out in the end. The score: R.H.E. 2013310 41-1517 2 Univ. 2 1630100 11418 4 NO CHARGE FOR BETTING. Reduction,in the Price of Admission at Benning. While by actual count of the gatemen the attendance at the Benning track yesterday was over a hundred greater than on the preceding day, yet it was very lght, dis- couragingly so. The card was also light, although the day’s racing was much better than the card promised. The management of the club took two steps yesterday which will, it is belteved, largely increase both the attendance and the number of entries. The price of admts- sion, it was decided, shall hereafter be $1 to all parts of the grounds; ladies, half price. Heretofore the admission to the grand stand was $1, those who desired to place a bet being compelled to pay $1 more to gain admission to the betting ring. Hereafter, however, no extra charge will be required for admission to the betting ring, and, as there seems to be little, if any, difficulty in any one getting a bet down, a very large attendance is expected from today on. The horsemen have insisted that the light cards during the present meeting have been due to the fact that only one race each day at less than a mile was allowed by the rules tor three-year-olds and upward. Yesterday, however, permission was granted by the Jockey Club to have two such races a day, and hereafter big cards are expected. Favorites and second choices were in front yesterday, and the talent consequently relieved the gentlemen of odds of not a Iit- But three horses started in the first Columbian Cath, y, the second ch Emotional easily by a length, the favorite, Mangrove, being a nose behit rises’ Azure 4% furlongs, by two lengths, from Lizzie B.

Entries for the Relay Races, The official list of entries for the U1 versity of Pernsylvania relay carnival at Philadelphia Saturday has been an- nounced. Fifty-six teams will take part in the races, while the visiting collegi from the various educational institut throughout the country will number well up in the thcusands. For the champion- Ship race there are six teams entered, {n- cluding Lafayette and Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology, provided these two succeed in winning the race against the minor colleges with whom they are group- ed.

The Keystone Wheelmen of Philadelphia heve completed the detail arrangements for their first spring outing by railroad to Washington Sunday, May 10. The trip will be made in special passenger and baggaze cars. The participants will take their “bikes” along, and while in the city will spend several hours visiting the places of interest. These outings were first adopted in Philadelphia by the Keystone Whecl- men as a change from the regular and or- dinary club run, and they have proven novel, distinctive and popular. Last fall the club visited New York city, Wash ton, D. C., and Pittsburg in the ‘sam: Es sions had an at- nee of seventy and upward, and it is mated that they will have at least 100 persons along May 10. ner, and upon these oc; tent Junior Teams.

Secretary Carlisle's address Wednesday evening at the Auditorium contained about 9,500 words. It involved numerous and ex- tensive marshalings of figures running in groups up to thousands of million: jt set forth many arrays of percentages and re- qvired for {ts argument ratios and equa- tions appertaining to wages, prices of com- modities, the fluctuations of depreciated currency, and voluminous comparative sta- tistics affecting labor and life in various ecuntries. It was delivered without manuscript or notes or reference to notes except in two instances, one to show the rise and fall of silver and wages in Chile, and a second to cite the report of a Senate committee covering wages and prices of commodities for a designated period in the United States. ‘The entire speech, exactly as it was de- livered, was in print before Mr. Carlisle went to the platform. Not a syllable or a comma was altered in the delivery. It was n great feat of memory, and displayed the logical nature of Mr. Carlisle’s mind strik- ingly. A less-logical man would have been carried away by his copious diction and alert imagination into at least divergent language, even while remaining faithfui :o the same material for ergument, the same incidents and episodes for illustration. The double faculty that can coldly de- sign such a speech, commit it, and pro- nounce {it as if spontaneous and of the in- stant, was less rare in the last century than in this, and is growing rarer. It marks a reserve of concentration, a gift of selection, which !s disappearing in an age when men’s moatal forces are largely dis- sipated by diffusion over great areas of superficial study.
