THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MAY :16, 1896--TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. SEEN ON THE BENCH How the Clubs Are Doing Compared With Last Season. THE WESTERN TEAMS’ OPPORTUNITY Wise Ewing to Umpire Emslie, when Gray was at the bat in the fifth inning. Rogers would squat down every time Maul pitched, and if Emslie’s decision didn’t suit him he would wave his arms in disgust. In fact, there is no time when the game is close that the Senators haven't about five captains. The addition of Rogers has not helped to make drawing room beauties of the Senators, as Emslie called him down several times. The game put up by the Senators reminds one of the St. Louis Browns in their palmy days. Every man kicks, whether he has one com- ing or not, and when one fellow makes a good play the rest of the team jollies him.

PITCHERS’ Senators Held Down to Two Hits and Browns to Four. Breitenstein and Mercer were pitted against each cther yesterday, and the fa- mous south-winged twirler had somewhat the befter of the argument. He held the nators down to two hits, struck out six men and gave three bases on balls. Mercer allowed the Browns but four hits, struck out one man and gave three bases away. It was the finest pitchers’ battle this year, and the visitors lose none of their prestige in dropping a game to sch a pitcher. ington’s two runs were made on a 4 y sh, who was sent to the bat in place of Brown, and an error by Ni- land. Had it not been for the error Breit- enstein would in all probability have shut nators out. The Prowns made their runs in the first on Dowd’s hit, Cooley's base on balls, Joe Quinn's rifice, Con- base on balls and Myers’ hit to short- i allowed Dow'l to score, while the second ing home on stop, Connor w 2ond, run being made by Cooley ste: the play to catch Myers at second. In the enth Breitenstein made a double and Ccoley a triple, the latter bringing in the second run of the inning on Joe Quinn's leng drive to Selbach. Inability to bat Breitenstein was the prime cause of the loss of the game, the lefthanders being powerless before’ the south-paw.Selbach lost a home run through Parrott’s fine catch, and the same fielder spoiled a long hit for Rogers in the eighth. Ibach also robbed Roger Connor of at least a three-base hit after a long spuint, ard his fielding generally was up to the standard. In the second inning Selbach made a seratch single, and went to third on Mc- Farland’s wild throw. On McGuire's hit to Quinn Selbach came home and crossed the plate in time, but Emslie declared Lim out, McFarland admitting after tne game that y little left fielder was safe.

RH, o 0 NEW ORocHHH OOM Vilson, hits Colonels Have Had an Injection, The Colonels made it three straight vic- tories yesterday and defeated the Phila- delphia sluggers through bunching hits. The Quakers could not hit Smith with any result. McCreery’s fielding was a fea- ture. Capt. Nash was struck on the head by a pitched ball and had to retire. At- tendance, wanted, but where is such a man to be had? That is the question. “Dummy” Hoy made his first error of the season in last Tuesday’s game, and now the papers in Cincinnati are publishing para- graphs about his weakness on ground balls. That’s encouragement for you. Tommy Dowd is playing the game of his life this season for St. Louis. His one-hand catch last Tuesday in deep center resulted in a double play, and made Magnate Von Der Ahe quite enthusiastic over the player. The first time he makes an error or strikes out his name will be mud, in the same mag- nate’s opinion. Short Stop Dahlen of the Chicagos is men- tioned-little these days, but for ali that he is quite up with the leaders in the matter of put-outs, assists and batting, besides con- tributing in no small way to the success of the club by his coaching. Manager McGunigle of the Louisvilles is showing his wisdom in going after seasoned players. In securing Treadway for right field he has not got a first-class player, but he is far and away a better man than sev- eral others on the team. Treadway is a great flelder, base runner and thrower, and if he could hit he would never have left Bal- timore. It is reported that the many friends of pitcher Mercer will place a $10 bill in the bouquet they are going to give him when he goes into the box for the first time at National Park, with which to pay the fine recently levied by Umpire Lynch. Capt. Duffy of the Bostons is getting g001 work out of Jack Stivetts this season, but he appears to be about the only one there is on the team that can help Nichols out. Young and Cuppy will have to do the work they did last year to land the Cleve- lands near the top. Chamberlain has ap- parently gone to pieces, while Wallace and Wilson cannot be depended upon in a pinch. Brooklyn has not struck her proper gait yet, although doing better up to the pres- ent time than last year. Kennedy, Stein and Daub have done very poorly so far, but can be depended upon to do good work before Decoration day has passed. Joe Sullivan is still holding on to center field for the Phillies. His fielding is all right, but he has taken a slump in batting, and this defect carrot be tolerated in Quakerdom. If you can’t hit cver 300 right along off the reel Philadelphia has little use for you. A Cleveland writer in making man to man comparisons between the Brooklyn and Washington teams. finds that the latter has none the worst of it. Nichols, before going west, won every game he pitched for the Bostons in the east, five in all. Since he left the east he has won only one game out of three. His rd this season is six games won and two lost. Stivetts is pitching great ball this season. He has lost only one game and won five. ‘Tacks Parrott created much amusement Monday as he struggled up to the plate with a bat which looked like a telegraph rele, but he nearly broke MeMahon’s neart by making a home-run hit in center field. “Tacks” also made two singl ith the me stick, and President Von der Ahe felt so 00d that he remitted that $10 fine tm- posed upon Parrott by the recent manager. “The Pittsburgs are a gang of quitters,” says Al Selbach. “If you can get one or two runs the best of them up to the sixth inning they will take up a collection among themselves to present you the game on a silver tray. I will say for the Washingtons that there isn't a man on the team who will quit. Joyce would make a hustler and a fighter out of any ball player that lives, and I believe he cculd even inject sand into There was a great change in the posi- tions of the first division yesterday. Pitts- burg is the only club retaining its position. Baltimore sinks to a tie at sixth, whi Cleveland rises from fourth to share v Pittsburg first place. Philadelphia, again defeated by the Colonels, drops to sition. Boston and Chicago each 1 point. GEORGETOWN Wo) EASILY. The University of Virginia Team Had an Off Da If any doubt existed prior to yesterday's game between Gecrgetown and the Uni- versity of Virginia that the wearers of the blue and the gray were superior in b ball it is dissipated. The University of V gina nine was not in ‘t for a minute. Eleven errors to Georgetown’s six, eleven hits to Georgetown'’s twenty-three and eleven runs te Georgetown’s thirty-one. The University of Virginia seems to dote on 11, but the sooner it gets that figure out of its mind in relation to errors the nearer it will come to winning a coliege championship. Mahoney pitched for four innings and struck out three men. He was then re- lieved by Lambert, and although that play- er was just recovering from illness, he struck out the first two men up. ‘The Georgetown team batted like fiends, Flem- nd Mahoney making two-base hits, Mahoney and Lambert making ers and Harley, Reardon and completed ané the surviving club members come out with victory perched on their side. The defendants in the case were Nelson, Morris & Co., and the matter has been in dispute for over two years. This legal fight was the only thing which pre- vented the adjustment of the affairs of the club at the time of its disbandment, and as nothing nc w stands in the way, the affairs of the ol club will be speedily adjudicated. The origin of the trouble dates from shortly after the elose of the successful fair of the Georgetown Cycle Club at the Washington Light Infantry armory for raising funds to construct a race track. This was fn the days of the old associated cycling clubs. Among the many things do- nated to the club was a wheel which was rot disposed of and remained on the hands of the club. As a mezns of raising addi- tional revenue, the wheel was sold to one of the members of the club on the install- ment plan, and the first sum paid down before the wheel was given up. The mem- ber who bought the wheel had it in bis possession but a short time. While on the streets one day riding the bicycle a con- stable seized it to satisfy a judgment which had been rendered against the member in favor of Nelson, Morris & Co. The club did rot care to lose possession of the wheel, and immediately replevined the wheel, putting up a bond for $100. The matter was carried into the higher courts, where it has been ever since. When the last meeting of the club was held the -mat- ter was still pending, and all the money on hand was divided among the members ex- cept the $100 put up as a bond in case the suit went against them. Wednesday Judge Cole heara the case and gave a decision in favor of the cycle club, awarding them one cent damzges. This means that the club secures possession of the wheel, together with the full amount of their bond which they filed, and the entire amount will be divided among the members who were in the club at the t'me of its disbandment. A meeting will be held soon, when the matter will be arranged, and will close up entirely the affalis of a club which at one time was the leading cycling organigation in the Dis- trict. * oe An attempt ts being made to organize a bicycle club among the members of the Columbia Athletic Club, and a meeting with that object in view has ‘been called for to- night at the club heuse at 10 o'clock. About a month ago a meeting was called with the same object in-¥iew, but so few responded the project was*dropped. ‘The failure to obtain a good attendance Is at- tributed to the fact that'thei hour aranged tor the affair was entirely too early and too inconvenient for a majovity of the bi- cyclists of the club, 1 Since that Ume the matter.bas been talk- ed over between a number of people inter- in seeing a respectable organization of cyclists in the club, and the résult has been the calling of the meeting for this evening. Some time ago a census ef: the bicyclists of the club was taken and it was found that there were sixty-seven riders in the club. Since that time the number has materially increased and now It is'expected that it will come close to the lrendred mark. ‘Tha projectors of the seheme are Messrs. J. Hart Brittain, Harry. Stiles, Charles Cabrera and several othérs. There {s every reason to believe that the Wieyclists of the club will. form into an organization, and the projectors expect to have every man who rides a wheel come into the organiza- tion. As the club has been recognized as the leading athletic club In the District, so it is hoped to make the bicycle branch the leading cycling organization in the city, and with this end in view the people be- hind the scheme are working hard. While bicycling is recognized as a sport by the club the cyclists have no dir repre- sentative on the board of governors. Indi- rectly, Mr. Cabrera is their representative, and-a good man he is for the position. It has been but a little over a year since the club recognized bicycling as a sport, and Mr. G. W. Cook, who was formerly captain of the Georgetown Cycling Club, was elect- ed as a representative of the sport on t board of governors. He served in the pos tion, and his hustling abilities had a good deal to do toward making the race meet of the club held last Decoration day the great success that it was. Business demanding the attention of Mr. Cook, he was forced to resign from the club, and since that time the cycling branch of the organization has been in a dormant state. Mr. Brittain, who ts pushing the scheme with much energy, fs not only anxious to see an organization of the eyclists effected, but he is also desirous of seeing runs star* from the club house, carrying out fifty or sixty or more wheelmen. He sees no reason why this could not be done and he calculates on the assistance of others to ac- complish this result. If this is done, more will be accomplished than any cycling club in the District has ever done, for not since of cleaning carpets, by beating thent.

SEE SES SSH Ln ey wn the day has already been secured, and all that remains for the club to Jo is to run off the races. Roughly outlined, the plan is to make the race an interesting event to all parties. The list of events has not been decided upcn, nor js it probable that {t will until a week or more, butvit is proposed to hold a number of open and handicap events, and, in addition to this, have several races which will amuse the spectators in general. An obstruction race, a slow race and a number of other events wiil be introduced on the program. A special meeting of the club has been called for Monday evening, at which full arrangements will be made for the meet, and at which officers will be aprointed and various committees selected to hustle and boom the thing along. Secu One thing which is bound to delight the lovers of bicycle sport will be the an- nouncement that an additional day has been secured for the national circuit meet, which will be held in Washington in Octobe: The circuit has just started in Callforn and will work eastward, closing at Wash- ington. In the request for the elreuit meet | in this city only one day was asked for, but as this city will be the closing point of the circuit races, an addition: day has been requested and allowed, m: ing two days of excellent sport to’ which the city will be treated. * Oe Xx A new record was established Thursday afternoon for the White Lot course, when T. N. Mudd, jr., succeeded in making the circuit in 1:22, this being an unpaced rec- ord. The best time around the White Lot was made some time ago by Fred. Simms, | whose time was 1 ing. The distance arcund the White Lot | is placed at five-eighths of a mile, and though the roadway is comparatively level, it is not good by any means for fast rid- ing. At 1:21 for the circuit is equivalent to a mile in 2:093-5, and, taking ever: thing into consideration, this is remarkably fast time. the same rate of speed for a mile is equivalent to a The record of Mudd timed by a stop watch, and he outdi: tanced a number of riders who endeavored to tack on and keep up the heavy pace which he set. * ok OK The annual election of officers of the Capital Bi. Club was held at the regular meeting last Saturday evening and result- ed in the change of several on the old board. Mr. Frank S. Stevens, who served as vice president last year, was elected to the presidency, vice Irving Williamson, who did not care to remain in office. Nor- ris Macdaniel was elected vice president to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr. Stevens to the presidency. A. J. Henry was elected to the treasurership, and C. J.
