To their inability to hit Frank Foreman, the old Washington pitcher, was due the defeat of the Washington club yesterday by the Cincinnati people. McJames pitched for the visitors, and while but eleven hits were made off him, six of them were made in the third inning, as many runs resulting. Two singles and a base on balls gave the home talent two runs in the sixth, and three hits and a wild pitch in the cighth gave them as many more. The representatives of the ccpital city scored but twice in the game, and that oc- curred in the third inning, when Joyce's triple brought in McJames, who had been passed to first, the fighting captain coming in on Abbey’s fly to Miller.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer yesterday There were two lively little tlts between the players and umpires in yester game. One of the wordy spats all wound up in an exchange of blows. both clusively Say but In instances the umpires showed con- that, they were masters of the sitvation, and would maintain order and discipline at any cost. Emslie, whose miserable work cost the Reds so dearly, did not umpire yesterday's game. A Hurst was ordered here to take Emslie’s Nace. Sheridan, who was on his way from Be ouls to Cleveland. missed connection here yesterday morning and came out to the game. In compliance with a request from Hurst, he donned his uniform and went in to help out his brother offic The game was wumpired in_ first but some of the Washingtor ons to several decisions. 'T came in the seventh inning. were changing sides Umpire t over to the water tank nesr hington players’ bench to get a ¢ water. While he was drinking Jack Crooks laughingly remarked: “I see wore you thin up in Cleveland.” Hurst made some jokir At this juncture Maul, who wi tting near Crooks, stood up and said: “That's right, come over here and try and square yourself for robbing us.” Hurst, who thought Maul was only jok- ing, looked up with a smile, and then, tak- ing the glass from his lips,’ gave it a play- ful jerk in Maui's direction. There was a little water left In the glass, and a sprinkle of it struck Maul’s shirt. Ac he threw Hurst remarked: hat, do you w strikes on those wild pitches of you mi Without thinking any more about it H rst turned and started back tor jon.. Maul did not take it as a playful maneuver. He thought Hurst had thrown the water on him to show his contempt. Im an instant he was furious. He jumped to where there was a pile of bats and picked up one of them. He drew it back, and might possibly have struck Hurst with {t had not one of the players touched it with his hand and deflected it from its course. Maul threw the bat, but it went e of its mark and had no force. 1 had no idea Maul was angry at me,” said Hurst, after the game, “I didn't know he was dissatisti umpiring. How could T know aid not ask or complain of but one strike in the game. When he said something about robbing him, I just tossed the little bit of water that there was in the glass at him in a good-natured way, thinking he would take the act as I intended it he Trouble With Joyce. The other trouble came in the eighth in- ning. It:was between Capt. Billy Joyce and Umpire Sheridan. The latter was giv- ing base decisions at the time Irwin hit a grounder to De Montreville. The latter was slow in getting it, and then he “looped” the ball to Cartright. The throw was wide and Cartright had to get off the base. He caught the ball, and then at- tempted to “tag’’ Irwin, who ran in front of him. He missed the runner, and Sheri- dan declared him gafe. Joyce insisted that the declsion was wrong. He admitted that Cartright had not touched him, but wanted Irwin decided out for running out of the line. Sheridan would not change his de- cision, and Joyce became angry. He had a wordy scrap with Sheridan. Joyce is u hard, earnest player and will fight for his rights. He went so far that Sheridan ordered him out of the game. He refused to go. The game was stopped for fully five minutes. Finally Sheridan ran over to rooters’ row and borrowed a watch from one of the rooters. “I'll give yoa just one minute to resume play,” said the umpire. Joyce waited until the minute was pretty near up, then he signcled Crooks to take his place. The lat- ter stripped off his sweater and went over to second. Joyce took a seat on the players’ bench, and began to taunt Sheridan. He called him a robber, a footpad and other pet names, adding a few forcible adjectives. Finally Sheridan thought it time to assert his authority. He walked over to the end of the stand close to where Chief of the Park Police Happy Sam Saffin was stand- ing and ordered him to take Joyce off the ground. With Chief Saffin were his two able lieutenants, Big Bill Jordan and Wm. Farrell. They walked out to the bench and or- dered Joyce to leave. Jordan pushed Joyce to a standing position. “All right,” said Joyce, “wait until I put on my sweater.” At this juncture Capt. Ewing and Frank Dwyer came over and called to the captain of the Washingtons, He joined the two Cincinnati players, and crossed over to the Reds’ bench. He sat there during the remainder of the game. Sheridan also fined Joyce $25. Both Hurst and Sheridan showed conclu- sively yesterday that they will enforce the rules. This is perfectly right. The local enthusiasts are sick and tired of the way Emsiie allowed the players to question his decisions. They will back up an umpire who will enforce the rules. Hurst will be here at least the remainder of the week. Sheridan left for Cleveland last night. While the Washingtons uayee sprayed: their ball playing qualities, thelr etiquette has been sadly neglected. Every member of the team has become a miniature “Scrappy Bill” Joyce, and when the en- semble assembles itself around an umpire the picture looks like the mob scene from “Paul Kauvar.” That may be “base ball, but it isn’t sport. Laying all jokes aside, there isn’t a team in the league which can not profit by taking pattern after Capt. Duffy and his Bosten players. They may not win quite so many games, but their consciences will not hurt them for any they do win, and they will raise the game 50 per cent in the estimation of the public. The rank and file of those who drop their silver into the cash boxes of the various clubs obj&ct| strongly to kicking and wrangling. If they“see none of it they'll come again. If they see as much as was on exhibition Sunday, they'll stay away until another and a better-mannered club comes along. From the Cincinnat! Commerciai Gazette yesterday. “It, doesn’t cost a cent to be a gentle- man,” and there's not a ball player in the league who cannot stand the expense. Jack Crooks of the Washingtons went into the game very unexpectedly yesterday. He has been ailing with lumbago for some time, and sald yesterday morning that he did not expect to be in the game for a week at the least. Crooks sanguine that the Senators will finish close up to the first division, ‘if not Inside of it. “We play the game at home and on the road,” he said, “and have a very good chance to beat out the Brooklyns, Pittsburgs and Cincinnatis, all three of which are notor- jously weak road teams. We lost two of the games in Pittsburg by trying young pitchers, but Mercer—say, that boy can have all the mazuma. He's the greatest that ever came over the hill.” “Mercer pitched the last game at Pitts- burg,” Jack continued, “and 300 of his neighbors from East Liverpool came down to see the game. Those Pittsburgers are Sreat hands to bet on games, and they were offering two to’one on their team. Well, say, those East Liverpool fellows covered all that was in sight and they went home with their pockets bulging out. a copped all the boodle and no mis- eake.’" Selbach, the left fielder of the Washin, tons, is a wonderful fielde: made se al sensational catches yesterday His pture of Burke's fly in the first inning one of the best plays of the season. He captured the ball while running for- werd at full speed. He pitched forward and caught the ball not shoe-top high. Selbach is a Columbus (Ohio) boy, and is one of Gus Schmelz’s discoveries.

Ww lived will be built Season Tracks. NEW YORK, May 12.—This is the open- ing day of the reaving seascn. It is ex- pected that today’s atterdance at Mor- ris Park will be very large. The feature of the day's sport is the Metropolitan han- dicap at a mile and a furlong, for which nine horses are on the card, with one or two doubtful. Usually’the Brooklyn track aas the honor of beginning the year’s rac- ing, but the start thissyear will be made at Morris Park, a wise’mcye, as it is more comfortable there’in the spring. Henry of Navarré will be the favorite to- day and Sir Walter and Counter Tenor are likely to be second choices, Navarre has been especially prepared for the Metro- politan, and while there sre rumors that he will not go to, the post they are prob- ably unfounded, as the association will not care to start the race#'at this track with such a horse scratched from the adyer- tised list of starters, Sir Walter is fit to run for his life and will not only take up ten pounds less than ffi former big handi- caps, but will have Taral on his back. Counter Tenor ig said to have returned to his two-year-old form, in which case he may do as Hornpipe did last year, and come in first in the big race of the year. The rest of the lot ate not looked upon as being dangerous, with the exception of Dorian, who is eenstally thovght to be a pacemaker for Navarre, but who may be sent out for the race thrcugh necessity. The hill at Morris Perk will doubiless be a drawback to some of the horses whose legs are not in the best of condi- tion. The first race will be inieresting, too, for it will mark the first appearance this year of Hastings, the highest priced two-year- old in the history of the turf, and in the hands of his old trainer he should do better than he did in the futurity. The other races with the exception of the last have filled well and the contests today should be of a high-class all the way down the card.

A majority and a minority report were made. One recommended that the general cenference elect four bishops, while the other thought that only one bishop should be elected. Fifty men were on the floor at once. Some said that if more bishops were elected it would break up the church, while others thought if they were not elected the church would suffer.
