Exciting Scenes During Yesterday's Cincinnati Game. There was a lively moment in the sixth inning of yesterday’s game at Cincinnati. Umpire Hurst went tod the Washington bench to get a drink. Crooks sald: ‘‘You’re getting thinner since you were at Cleve- land, Tim.” Pitcher Maul, who thought he had not been fairly used in the matter of strikes, said: “You need not come here to square yourself.” Hurst turned to Maul and dashed the water that was left into Maul's face. The latter seized a bat, and, as Hurst walked away, let fly, but his arm was caught, and the missile missed its mark. Maul was not fined. Joyce was put out of the game, with a fine of $25, for objecting to a decision of Umplre Sheridan’: The trouble began early. The first row was over Hurst's judgment on a ball. He galled it foul when the crowd thought it air. When Irwin came to bat he hit a short one and started to make first, and he almost beat the ball to the base and would have done so, but Cartwright stood two or three feet off the base and the path toward home. The instant the ball touched his hands Ir- win slipped to the ground past Cartwright, reeled over, touched the bag and was call- ed safe. Then there was trouble. Sheridan rot only fined Joyce $25, but ordered him off the grounds. Later Rogers tried to spike Gray. The latter pounded Rogers twice with the ball and Hurst separated them. Ewing and artwright had a sparring match, and Ewing almost jerked the shirt off Cart- wright. THIS IS FUNNY. Von Der Ahe Protests Agninst Management of New York. President Von Der Ahe of the St. Louis Ball Club has publicly declared hi s against President Freedman of the New York Base Ball Club. He says the ticnal League will not tolerate the way Mr. Freedman is running his club. There has been considerable talk of dissatisfac- tion among the other clubs at the way things were going on in New York, but it remainec for the St. Louis magnate to throw the first stone. The league,” said he the other day, “will not stand for the manner in which things are going on in the metropolis. New York is the mainstay of the game. When bus- iness is poor there it 1s poor the country over, und we, who have thousands of dol- lars invested, are not going to stand by and our money burned up. the When J read in the papers that only eight hundred persons were at the last same on the Polo Grounds, I could scarce- believe it, but mi it be expected change in the tactics pursued only un a for there i: by the man- agement. “I have been in the amusement business a good many years, and have learned that the public must b. ered to instead of be- ing antagonized. ‘This man Freedman will probably learn this after it is too late. He knows his club is weak, especially in pitchers. Why doesn’t he get out and buy some good men? Or, better, why doesn’t he sign Rusie, or sell him and buy some- body as good? I'll give him $8,000 for Amos tomorrow. “I do not believe, as has been hinted, that John T. Brush or any other man is paying Rusie to hold out. I do know, how- ever, that the league will not stand for the way things are going. What will be done I cannot say, but some action will be taken. “I can't understand what Freedman is about, unless he wants to sell out. He has n talking about the weakness of certain . Now, why don't he get in New York a winning team? If something is not done the game will suffer as it never has before.” MORE TROUBL LouIs, Breitenstein Suspended by President Von Der Ahe. Von der Ahe is furious at the result of Saturday's game, in which New York oy whelmed St. Louis, and has notified Brei enstein letter that he is sus and that he will be suspended indefinitely with- if an investigation which the club's is now making confirms the ri port which reached Von der Ahe that Breit has not been taking proper care of him- self. Breitenstein is indignant, as he claims that he was never in better condition. He says he has not touched liquor since the son began. He was wild in Saturday's siving game, even bases on balls in the two and a half innings while he was in the box. He claims that it was an off day for him, and that all pitchers have them.

The Geo ‘getown and Cornell Nines Meet Tomorrow. A great deal of interest centers in the game tomorrow afternoon on Georgetown field between Georgetown and Cornell. Cornell has been beaten by the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Penn- sylvania has teen beaten by Georgetown, but Cornell has beaten Princeton, and Printeton has beaten Georgetown. Just at this present stage college base hall is somewhat mixed in relation to the relative strength of the teams, so that tomorrow’s game will be looked forward to with con- siderable interest in the hope that It will straighten matters out a little bit. The Canterburys and the Eastern Ath- letic Club will play a game in the District League championship series this afternoon at National Park, the game being called at 4:45. moi The Washington Light Infantry was bad- ly beaten Saturday by the District Com- missioners’ office, the score being 80 to 13. ‘The Shamrock and Eastefrt'Athletic clubs of the District League meet: tomorrow at National Park.

A MANLY YOUNG FELLOW. “The Umpire Has Decided,” He Said, “and That Settles It.” “I can’t remember being more pleased than 1 was at a ball game played by a couple of junior teams, on a vacant lot in the outskirts Saturday,” remarked an old base ball patron to a Star reporter. “It was a well-played and at times excit- ing game and a number of close decisions’ were made. A High School boy was um- piring, and only once were his decisions disputed. But the captain of the side that was getting the worst of it shut his men right up. (The umpire has decided,’ he said, ‘and that settles it.’) He said it so decidedly, too, that his players went right back to their places. I can't tell you when 1 have been so much pleased over a thing. To my mind that captain's action was worthy winning twenty games of ball. He showed far more manliness than is ever shown on the professional ball field and is seldom shown by any but cricketers, who never dispute an umpire’s decisions. | How much pleasanter the league games would be if the captains vied with each other in promptly accepting what the umpire granted.” ELD AND TRACK SPOKE ‘Ss. Wefers Contributed Largely Success of Georgetown. The dual athle meet between George- town and Columbian Universities Saturday was won by Georgetown, which secured first place in all but two of the events. Bernard J. Wefers of Georgetown was the star. At 100 yards he equaled the rec- erd of 94-5 seconds, and in the 220-yard run the time was announced as 211-5 sec- onds, two-fifths of a second faster than the world’s record which Wefers made in the international contest last year. This time will not be counted, as the track was short. Wefers also won easily in the quarter mile, and surprised all by his ability in the run- ning broad jump, making twenty feet six inches.

The committee representing the rowing interests ef the four univefsities concerned in the quadrangular boat rade to be rowed Friday, Jure 26, met Saiurday night in Nev York. They were: Guy: Richards, Co- lumbia; R. C. Watson, Harvard; Thomas Wreath, University of Pérnsylvania, and Prof. H. S. White, Cornell. The committee by a unanimous vote decided on the Pough- Keepsie course. This step was taken in view of the bill pending in the House of Representatives, which will provide a clear course during the race. & The main objection of the Poughkeepsie course has been the interference made by craft plying up and down the Hudson. But Mr. Richards took a trip to Washington Friday, and reported that the bill provid- ing protection to all professional and ama- teur regattas would probably become a law. The section of the bill which is of special interest to yachting and rowing men reads as follows: “That in order to provide for the safety of passengers on excursion steamers and for the safety of yachtsmen and oarsmen taking part in regattas, ama- teur or professional, that may hereafter be held in navigable waters, the Secretary of the Treasury be, and is hereby, author- ized and empowered to detail revenue cut- ters to enforce such rules and regulations as.way be adopted to assure the safety of passengers on said excursion steamers and the oarsmen and yachtsmen taking part in the regatta.” As the Potomac is navigable to George- town, the bill applies to the course over which the annual’ Potomac river regatta is rowed, and thus possesses a local interest. Welcome to Victors at Athens. The Boston Athletic Association gave a rousing reception Saturday night to its vic- torlous athletes, who brought eight first prizes and a second from the Olympian games at Athens, Greece. A banquet was held in the gymnasium and the invited guests included Gov. Wolcott, Mayor Quincy, D. M. Rotazze, Greek consul-gen- eral at New York; T. D. Timayenis, consul at Boston, and Gen. F. G. Walker. The team includes John Graham, manager; BE. H. Clarke, T. EB. Burke, W. W. Hoyt, T. R. Curtis, A. Blake, Sumner Paine and John B. Paine. De Oro Beats Clearwater. The Clearwater-De Oro match for the pool championship of the world and a purse of $1,000 ended at Pittsburg Saturday night. It resulted in a victory for De Oro. Score for the three nights: De Oro, 206, 205, 189; total, 600. Clearwater, 203, 177, 164; tutal, 544. Grant Eby of Springfleld has challenged De Oro and the match will be played in New York within sixty days. Wrangle in the Atlantic League. The New York Sun yesterday sald: Trouble ts expected in the Atlantic League. President Freedman said yesterday that he will stick to the organization as long as he is treated fairly, and intimated that a break would take place if the Hartford team fails to appear at the polo grounds tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. Billy Barnie is just as determined that the games must be played at Hartford, and even offered to pay the metropolitan players’ railroad expenses. Barnle told a Sun reporter that he would take his players to Hartford after the game at Paterson, and even went so far as to say that Mr. Freedman is seeking an ex- cuse to quit the league. “Mr. Freedman wanted half of the receipts to play the games at Hartford,” added Barnie, “but I refused to listen to such a proposition. Even now he is beginning to farm out his players, but the league will soon take ac- tion, A meeting will be held in Newark today, but, according to Mr. Freedman, the Metro- politans will not be represented. The sched- ule reads that the games should be play- ed in this city and in Hartford on the seme days. Miscellaneous Sports. The national circuit bicycle meet at San Jose, Cal., on Saturday, brought together 8,- 000 persons. No records were broken.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.—The National Athletic Club has all but arranged the big- gest pugilistic tournament ever held in this city.

A match is contemplated between Dan Hawkins and Owen Ziegler, but as he weighs 138 pounds and Hawkins only 130, the latter refuses to concede so much weight, and will not fight unless Ziegler trains down, This Ziegler refuses to do. i —--— PRECIOUS STONES, Tom Willicms of Salt Lake, I ham and b Au Mr. G orEe Kunz Lectures Before the Geographic Society. The last lecture of the season in the series conducted by the National Geograph- ic Society was delivered at Metzerott Hall Friday evening by Mr. George F. Kunz of New York, the diamond experi of Tiffany's ablishment. The subject of his was “The Geography of Preciou and he told in an interesting way earliest times to the present day, the lec- ture being profusely illustrated with many photographic reproductions. He was intro- duced to the large audience by President Hubbard, who explained that Mr. the best informed man in the matter in th world. Gems were not cut, sail th turer, until the sixteenth or century, being used in the that period. As early a: Christ precious stones w orna- ments, and more geins were cut during the Roman empire than during any other pe- riod. Later Venice and Genoa became the great gem markets of the world, and, upon the discovery of the new world, its supply was called upon to furnish the ola world. The prehistorle races of the new world made great use of pearls, and some of the finest seen are yet to be found in the con- tinent discovered by Columbus. India was the first country to produc? diamonds, the finest of precious stones, and at one time a3 many as 6,000 men were employed in the Golconda mines. It has always been a re- markable fact that the so-called conserva- tism of the world in the matter of dlamonds condemns new diamond fields and their pro- ducts. Amsterdam represents about one- third of the trade in diamonds. He de- scribed the mining of diamonds, saying that until recent years about 35 per cent of the yield of the mines was stolen. The African mines were discovered in 1886, and those mines have already yleided $850,000,000, or twice as much as ever before known.’ In speaking of the African mines, Mr. Kunz paid Cecil John Rhodes a high compliment, saying that he is a creator and not a wrecker, and that when he prospered all prospered. The lecturer concluded his lec- ture by referring to the great dlamonds of the world, speaking of their Immense val- ues, and also referred to the other precious stones and gems of anclent and modern times. lec- nth: a before rs befor —————— Ascension Day.
