IN SPORTING CIRCLES Clevelands Took the First Game of the Series, DISTRICT LEAGUE SEASON OPENED Successful Field and Track Sports of Columbian Prep. YALE MAY GO TO HAMBURG After winning two creditable victories from Brooklyn, Washington yesterday floated westward to Spiderville and bumped plumb against a thirteen-strand web, which had been erected for that express purpose by Chief Spider Tebeau and his horde of hustling insects. Joyce’s men died gamely, however, and succeeded in breaking five of the strands, but then were forced to sur- render. Spider Wilson was delegated by Chief Tebeau to weave a special assortment of curved strands about the struggling Sena- tors,while Jake Boyd endeavored to counter- act the effort. Wilson was the more suc- cessful. Briefly, Washington was outplayed. In the first three Innings Cleveland scored seven run, but even with such a handicap Washington made a game uphill fight, but to no avail. Joyce is credited with a three-base hit, Rogers with a double, Cartwright and Mc- Guire with two singles each, and Selbach and Boyd with one-base hits. The three errors charged up against Washington were misplays by Selbach—a difficult sun fly— Rogers and De Montreville. Because of the sun in left fleld, Abbey and Selbach ex- changed places for a portion of the game. The score: 1 Rogers, “ab: 0 Demont, ss.

The Bostons were un- able to hit Ehret, one of their two runs being the result of an error by McPhee. OINCINNATI. t BOSTON. R.H.O.A.E. R.H.O.A.E.

PRAISE! jOYCE’S Min John Ward’s Comments on the Wasn- ington Nine. John M. Ward, the ex-Giant, has begun his journalistic career, and in the New York Journal sizes up the league clubs from the standpoint of an expert. Of Washington he says: “Washington comes next on the record, and, strange to say, is right up with the leaders. But the strangest part of it is tkat they are where they are, not by any fluke, but by earnest, clever, legitimate play. They put up a game against the Biocklyns at Eastern Park last week that would win against any team. They are strong in catchers, have several good pitch- ers, one, Mercer, a star, and the rest of the field seems very evenly balanced. “Joyce, who is at present acting as man- ager and captain, seems to have instilled much of his own earnest, hustling spirit into the entire team. Their crucial-test will come, however, when the first real serious streak of ill-luck overtakes them. If they give up under the strain they will scon settle down to a position among the tail-enders, but if some one can manage to keep up their courege so that they will not lose confidence in their own strength there will be a good chance for the Washington team of '%# to do considerably better than ony of its predecessors.” = Ward hardly thinks the Phillies pennant winners, and censiders the Bostons a more diff factor to size up. The Beooklyns, he says, look too pretty to win hard games, and adds that the Orioles are stronger than last year, and when once they start they will come with a rush. Of the Giants, states John M., it 1s impossible to prophesy. The club certainly nee@s Ruste. Baxe Bull Notes. Pitcher Boswell, late of Washington, was in the box for Columbus yesterday, and held Indianapolis down to six hits. Arthur Irwin is happy now that the Giants have won two games in successivn. Umpire Lynch distributed a few fing among the Baltimore and Pittsburg pla: ers in the game at Smoketown yesterday Kelley, Doyle and Merritt became obstrep- erous, and wouldn't cool down until they were touched up for $10 each. Shearon, the new outfielder of the Cleve- land team, is said to be one of the finds of the season. There was a rumor afloat In New York yesterday that the differences between Amos Rusie and the New York Base Bull Club management had been adjusted, and that Rusie was on his way to New York. President Freedman sald that it was pos- sible that some arrangements had been made between Irwin and Rusie since the New York team left home. ‘The feature of yesterday's game at De- troit was a scrap between Captain Stai ings of Detroit and Catcher Smink of Grand Rapids. Detroit was at bat in the fifth and had fouled the last ball out of the grounds. Umpire Jevne called for three new balls. Captain Carney protested, and all gathered about Detroit's bench. It is alleged Smink had two old balls secreted about his person and tried to ring them in the play. Captain Stallings talked very plainly, and Smink struck him in the face. In an instant Smink was in the dust, one of the players rapping him hard just below the eye. It looked for a time like a free- for-all fight, but order was again restored and play resumed. A special sent last night from Louisville says: “When negotiations were begun with Ward It was then decided that either the New Yorker or some one else would sup- plant McCloskey. The situation assumed a new phase yesterday afternoon, when it was stated that the Loulsvillé players threatened to strike if McCloskey was re- leased. Vice President Dahler received a telegram from Ward today, in which he asked the Louisville people to await the ar- rival of a letter posted last night in New York. In this, the directors think, is a fa- vorable reply, although he has previously declined the proposition submitted to him.” SHAMROCKS WON EASILY, They Outplayed the Canterburys at Every Point. The first game of the new District League was played yesterday at National Park be- tween the Shamrocks and the Canterburys, the former winning easily by a score of 10 to 2. The team work, sharp fielding and clean hitting of the Shamrocks were the winning items, the Canterburys being out- played at every point.

There is every indication that Columbian and Georgetown universities will meet again this season on the ball fleld, and it is likely that the game will take place May 28. The managers of the teams, Barrett of Columbian and O'Brien of Georgetown, met last evening to discuss the mattcr, and the event seems about settled. In the recent game between the two teams Columbian was without the services of Dalzell, and could surely put up a better game than it did. On the other hand, Georgetown had a decidediy off day, Lambert being exceptionally wild and the team behind him filling the error column with big black dots. Both teams can put up much better ball than the re- cent contest would indicate, and it will decide the supremacy beyond the slighiest doubt If the clubs come together again.

Yale Discussing the German Regatta of July. “ A special from{New Haven says: The ant nounzement is mage that the ’varsity crew which is to repfesent Yale in the Henley regatta will also probably enter the most important of the German regattas at Ham- The idea of entering the German races was not suggested by Yale, but by the Germans, in the form of an invitation from A. O. Shurmacher, president of the Allgemeiner Alster Club of Hamburg. Pres- ident Shurmacher points out that the Ham- burg regatta will be held July 18 and 19, and extends a most cordial invitation to Yale to enter her crew. The Yale authorities are deliberating on accepting the challenge. Entries for the Hamburg regatta do not close until nearly time for the Henley, and Yale may not de- cide about entering the German races until after the crew leaves for England, June 6. It is stated, however, that a meeting of Yale boating authorities will be held soon to urge final action on the matter. If Yale rows at Hamburg it will be the first time an American crew has rowed on European waters since Cornell's race in 1881 at Vienra. COLUMBIA PREP. GAMES. Interesting Field and Track Sports Yesterday Afternoon. The Colvmbiap preparatory department held its first annual championship games yesterday afternoon at Columbia Field, 17th and C streets. A large gathering of spec- tators were present, including many pro- fessors of the university, and the cvyents were all interesting and exciting. There were seven events and two trials at rec- ords. Six starters qualified for the hundred-yard run, E, Biscoe winning from the scratch in elev conds, with W. D. Sterrett, seven yards handicap, second. ‘The 220-yard dash was also won by Bis- cue, in twenty-one seconds, with Sterrett second. The running broad jump and high jump were taken by Biscoe,eighteen fect six inches in the first and four feet eleven inches in the latter. C. Fugitt was second in the broad jump, with eighteen feet tive inches, and also in the high jump, with four feet ten inches, The standing broad jump Fugitt, who jumped eight feet even, Probably the most interesting features on the program were the bicycle races, the mile and half-mile. G. Lanza, with sixty yards, won the half-mile, in 1:24, with 1. Rye second and J. E. Van Auken third, The mile was won by B. Rye, with Van Auken second and W. D. Sioussat third. The time was 3:14. Handsome prizes were awarded in all of the contests. Charles T. Cabrera attempted to lower the District of Columbia record for one-quarter of a mile, and Fred Schade attempted to cut down the District record for a quarter, flying start. Both attempts were success- ful, Cabrera cutting the standing start, half-mile record from 42 seconds to 411-5, and Schade making his trial In thir- ty-two seconds, the record being thirty-four. The officials of the day were: Referee, Fred. Simms; judges, Don Fugitt, William Sioussat and Mr. Biscoe; timers, Mr. S. W. Stnemetz, Mr, Emmons and Mr, Farn- ham, starter, T. Campbell; clerk of course, Mr. F. Schade; assistant ‘clerk of course, Mr. Stratton and Mr. Walsh; announcer, Mr. Charles T. Cabrera, and’ scorer, Mr. F, Emmons. as won by C. Racing in the East Begun. About 5,00) people were at the Aqueduct track, near New York, yesterday for the opening of the scason. A big card had been provided and few szratches were made. "The day was perfect, and a cool breeze blew from the ocean. The best race of the day was the second, at one mile, in which there was a driving finish between Doggett on Jefferson and Hamilton on King T., the former winning by a short head, Hamilton riding one of his old-time races. In the tirst race, Tenderness won, after a long delay at the post, in which the favorite, Irish Reel was left standing still. ‘The starting ma. chine was tried in the third race, and re- sulted in a fine start after several attempts. Joe Hayman, an odds-on favorite, won somewhat handily at the end, although Young Harry pushed him hard for a time. Prig and Charade were about equal favor- {tes for the fourth race, and it lookel up to the last furlong as if they would finish in that order. Chugnut, at all sorts of odds, came up at the end and won in a hard Grive—one of Pa Bradley's Icng shots. The trace was for maiden two-year-olds at half a mile, and was won by Freelance. Columbian Chess Tourney, A chess tournament has been organized at Columbian University by seven students, the meetings to take place every Wednes- day and Friday evening. The first game was played Saturday at Columblan Acad- emy, Messrs. Broadus, Beatty and Gordon winning from Messrs. Lanza, Ritchie and Lindsey. The next game will be played at the university building tomorrow evening. Sume Excellent Pool Playing. The game of pool between Stewart and Tom Canill, at the latter's place, 433 11th street, was won last night by Cahill, 500 to 459. Cahill ended the match by holing the fifteen balls twice in succession. Stew- art believes he can give Cahill 200 in 500. Gi ees GRANTED DIVORCES. Three Couples Separated by Deerce of the Court. Three divorces were granted today by Judge Cox—Carrie E. Johnston from George M. Johnston, Tina Nash from Melvan H. Nash and Minnie A. Scotte from Robert E. Lee Scotte. The first named parties were married about thirteen years ago, and Mrs. Johnston charged that her husband, now. said to be residing in Wausau, Wis., deserted and abandoned her about four years later. Mrs. Johnston is granted the custody of the child. In the Nash case, Mrs. Nash stated that they were married here September 24, 1887, and she charged that they lived together until May 9, 182, when her husband de- serted and abandoned her at a time when the youngest of their three children was but three weeks old. The custody of the children was awarded to their mother. Mrs, Scotte, formerly Miss Bray, was married at Rockville, Md., August 5, 1891, when she was but seventeen years of age. The marriage Is said to have been a run- away match, and th¢family, it is said, be- came aware cf ff about two months later. Mrs, Scotte charged’ her husband with abusing and crubfly ‘treating her, and the decree states that’ the divorce was granted her because of her husband's extreme cruelty, endange?inéher life and health, commenced, the mifevelaimed, shortly after their marriage. , eS The Ad.'
