A Missing Letter. In the case of Mary C. Levy against the District, called up for triat in‘Cireuit Court No. 2 yesterday afternoon, a juror was withdrawn and the plaintiff given twenty days in which to amend the declaration. In July and August, 1889, the plaintift’s house, 469 Missouri avenue, was damaged by the flocding of the cellar. She claimed that the main sewers In the neighborhood had been so choked and filled up with sand and mud that the water backed out into her cellar. The declaration read sewer, and to supply the omitted “ the plaintiff! was granted leave to amend the declaration. The suit Is similar to the one in which Ed- ward Gray recovered several thousand dol- lars’ damages against the District for the foodirg cf his iron foundry about the same time. IN SPORTING CIRCLES | Pitcher Killen Held Down the Washington Hitters. BESENATOR SKILLFOL WITH THB BALL Fort Myer Team Beaten by the Infantry. ee BERT OWEN BIRTHDAY RUN ee The use of an X ray is not necessary in telling the story of the slashing defeat of. Washington by the Pirates in Pittsburg yesterday. The score sets forth in plain figures that Connie Mack's marauders came in contact with the balls tossed by Jimmy McJames just sixteen times, while Capt. Joyce and his followers made their pres- ence felt on three occasions only. Such was the skill exercised by Killen, the for- mer Washington pitcher. The Washington battery was a little shy in other respects, McJames making a wild pitch and Mc- Cauley permitting three balls to pass him which should have lodged safely in his mit. Then Washington misplayed five times, which tended to increase the en- thusiasm of the smoketown rooters, as well as the size of the score. Maul was expected to pitch, but did not make his appearance in the box. Lush played right field, and was a party to two of the three hits by Washington, one being a corking three-bagger. Pitt burg scored in every inning except the seventh, while Washington's brace of tul- lies occurred in the sixth. PITTSBURC RM.

Earl Wagner says he refused an offer of $3,500 for Selbach. With the exception of Loulsville and New York, every team in the League is playing a very creditable game. Bill Hart, pitcher, leads the Browns in batting. Jones leads the Brooklyns with the stick. He has been at the bat once and made a single. The new rule, investing the umpires with the power of removing a player from the game, has not been needed in a single yame so far. ‘andidly,” said Manager Selee of the Bostons, “I believe that Baltimore has as sood a chance as ever of coming in first.

Fred. Peffer is dissatisfied because he was laid off by New York without pay. The New York management ts trying to trade him off, and Chicago is said to have refused to take Fred.

Overwhelming | Defent of Myer Team. The Departmeatal League sterday afternoon with the teams repr senting the Fort Myer and Washingson Light Infantry as the opposing forces. The Infantry team is a much stronger one than it was last year, and had no trouble in walking from and with the troopers from across the river. The Fort Myer team com- prises some clever ball players, but they need some practice in team work. The out- field took ir. long flies with good judgment. The Infantry is undoubtedly 5 per cent stronger than it was last year. Hager and Smith of last year's Norfolk team the Fort y the places at seccnd and short, respestive- ly, the latter acting as the captain of the team. Wisner at third and Chamberlain at first are all that could be desirel, and the infield presented an iron front to the heavy sluggers from across the river. Nicholscn pitehed an excellent game, giv- ing but two t on balls and striking out five of the rid Chamberlain supported him in fine In the outfield, Klein- yle. schmidt, Nugent and Brown are a trio of outfielders that cannot be excelled in the league. Their work yesterday, especially that of “Doc” Kleinschmidt and Nugent, was excellent, several difficult catches be ing made by both. The Infantry team made four errors, thres of which are cred- {ted to Smith and one to Chamberlain. Gilson, Gentry and Boylen all tried their luck in the box against the Infantry, but the latter had on their batting clothes and nothing could stop them. Hager made a double and two home runs, Wisner five sin- gles, Harry Chamberlain three singles and Kleinschmidt a triple and a single. The Fort Myer team presented a neat ap- pearance in gray uniforms, with red sweat- ers and stockings, while the Infantry wore their white suits, with black trimmings. Mr. John Heydler umpired the game and gave iniversal satisfaction, hardly one of his decisions being questioned. LIGHT INFANTRY. FORT MYER. R.H.O. ALE. “ RH AE.

"The attendance at the game yesterday was not as good as. was hoped, but if the league plays good ball and tho games are well contested they will soon draw well. WHIST PLAYERS’ PLANS. All Arrangements Made for the Sixth American Convocation, Robert H. Weems, the corresponding sec- retary of the American Whist League, aided by a corps of assistants, is perfecting plans for the sixth arnual convocation of Ameri- can whist clubs, which will open on June 20 at the Oriental Hotel, Manhattan Beach. The program for the week's contests has been completed, and most of the arrange- ments for the comfort of the guests are now finished. Mr. Weems and those who have been working with him have determined that the session shall be the most successful ever held, and they are leaving nothing undone that could in any way contribute to the suc- cess of the gathering.

WASHING “ROAD CLUB. ‘o} Decoration Day Races to Be Held on the International Track. The Washington Road Club held a mect- ing last evening at its club rooms, at 10th street, and completed arrangements for its races. It was decided to hold th affair, which comes off on Decoration day, at the new international track, on the Conduit road, thus opening the place in a very auspicious manner to the Washington public. The track will be in readiness for the event some time before Decoration day, giving the entries an abundance of time In which to practice on the course. A new racing committee was appointed and instructed to push matters forward at a rapid rate. The 1 sists of M man, and Ri Jose and J.

Will Attempt to Make a Silk Purse Out of a Sow's Ear. William MeGonnigle has the nerve to take his coat off and see what can be done for Louisville base ball this year. He left last night to take charge and expects to ar- rive in Louisville by Saturday noon. McGonnigle has been engaged in business in Brockton, Mass., but has been anxjous to get into the harness again. He said that he never felt better, and while he did not care to make rash promises or build hopes too kighly, he felt sure he could lift Louisville out of the last place. CORNELL-| NSYLVA A. They Will Hold an Athletic Meet To- morrow. ITHACA, N. ¥., May 8.—Corneli's track athletes are fast getting in shape to make a good showing against University of Penn- sylvania tomorrow. Especially in the shot and hammer events is Cornell expected to excell. Fennell and Kline have improved very much in the past few days in the hammer throw, and the candidates In shot- putting are adding a foot or two to their former showing in the spring games. The sprinters are all doing remarkably well. Taylor has run the quarter in 523-5 and remained fresh at the finish. Sau: formerly of the college of the city of New York, this week made the hundred yards in 102-5, while Bowen and Daniels finished one-fifth of a second quick- er. Bowen has also made the 220-yard run in twenty-three flat. Cornell will also make Pennsylvania work hard to win the jumping events. Powell and Becker are making five feet ten inches easy. The pole vaulters, Crain and Hall, are now at nine feet, and are constantly improving. Good work 1s being done by the wheel- men, Alexander being credited with a pac- ed mile in 1:51. Hinds and Barrett will also contest for Cornell in this event. The Cornell manager has made out a protest against Leslie, one of Pennsylvania's jump- ers, and it is quite probable that he will be barred from competing in the games here tomorrow. Probably a Fatal Blow. In a boxing match between John Houli- lian and Patrick Nolan, which was pulled off ina grove at Farmington, Conn., ycs- terday, Houlihan was knocked out in the eleventh round, and rendered unconscious. He was not resuscitated at midnight, and the doctors believe his injuries will prove fatal. The police are searching for Nolan. DeOro Defeats Clearwater.

The directors: of the Belair Jockey Club of Montreal, which"owns the only credit- able race tack in the province of Quebec, have decided not togive any meetings this year. Lack’ of patfonage is given as the cause. Knocked Out by McCoy. At the New Manhattan Athletic Club in New York last night Kid McCoy . knocked out Jim Daly of Buffalo in the third round. At alate hour Daly was taken to Roose- velt Hospital, suffering from a broken jawbone. Friends of the boxer claim that his injury was received during the fight. Georgetown to Play Fordham.

Negotiations are now pending with ao number of leading foreign professionals to visit this country in September. The American racing men who are now in Eng- land expect to return in August, and they are anxious to bring some of the foreign racing talent with them.
