The members of the Capital Bicycle Club are dis jing the coming Brooklyn con- gress of the American Whist League with considerable interest. The questions being considered are in what events shall the club participate and who shall represent it. As yet nothing definite has been de- cided on. New committees will soon be selected, and until the whist committee is appointed very little will be done toward perfecting arrangements for the Brockiyn meeting. It seems to be understood that the club will contest for the league trophy and perhaps take part in the match for pairs. Messrs. Low and Barrick would represent the club in the pairs. They are strong players, thoroughly understand each other and would undoubtedly give any pair in the country a strong fight. Low and Barrick also favor the short sult system of play, and it would be interesting to com- pare the results made by them against some of the long suit pairs. In contests of teams of four the C. Bi. C.’s have at one ¢ or another defeated all the strong clubs of the country with a few exceptions. They have material enough for two or three strong teams. It is stated that neither Carr nor Fogg, who played on the team which defeated the Albany and Hamilton clubs, will be able to go to Brook- lyn. Besides, if they should, it is uncer- tain whether they would play on the same team with Low and Barrick, as there is not perfect agreement between the players as to the method of play to be adopted. Fogg and Carr have a leaning toward the long suit system. Low, Barrick, Wooten and Quackenbush have been playing together considerably, and they may play together at Brooklyn. Another strong player of the club who Will attend the congress is Mr. Henry. He may play in a club four. It is also understood that Mr. Thomas P. Borden, a member of the club, but now residing in New York, desires to play on the team. Mr. Borden has not been playing in matches for some time, but has kept up his practice. Some time ago the short suit team of the Capital B. Club, viz., Messrs. Low, Barrick, Wooten and Quackenbush, played a team composed uf Messrs. Fogg, Carr, Cole and Stevens, and defeated them by eleven tricks in twenty hands. Mr. Fogg’s team were two tricks ahead at the end of the first four boards, but thereafter they were not in it, their opponents gaining as aes as three and four tricks on different hards. the ROWING. Little has been done recently toward promoting the Potomac river regatta, which will be held by the three local or- ganizations. The main thing was the ap- pointment of a committee by the Analostan club, which consists of Messrs. L. A. Fisher, Franklin Moore and Tenney Ross, to work in conjunction with the commit- tees already appointed by the Columbia and Potomac boat clubs, which have been published in The Star. The committee will hold a point meeting this week, at which a date will be selected for the coming joint excursion, and the date of the regatta will undoubtedly be fixed soon after that of the excursion. Active work by the Analostans has be- gun, and to keep up the interest in the club, according to the plans of Captain Moore, which were outlined some time ago in The Star, a club regatta will be held during the last week of this month, which will prove interesting, not only from the fact that it will be the first of the sea- son, but because there are a number of new men, the material of which for boat- ing purposes. will be fully shown in the coming club event. Suitable prizes wiil be offered to the winners of the different events, and the healthy rivalry stirred up among the members. Ladies will be out in numbers, it being proposed to make this es- sentially an event for the ladies to wit- ness. The resignation of Captain Offey from the Potomac Boat Club will be greatly felt, and in no position more than in the eight, which the club contemplated sendin; to Annapolis May 30 to race the Nav: Cadets. The crew has been in training for some time for this event, and the with- drawal of Captain Ofley has so worked up the other members that it is possible that the original crew will be badly broken up, making it the duty of the new captain to practically select a full new crew. At the last meeting of the board of directors Mr. Zappone was indorsed as delegate to the national association from this city. Wash- ington has only one representative on the national association, and that representa- tive is sent upon the indorsement of the local clubs. The term of the present in- cumbent does not end until some time in August. GOOD WORK KEPT UP Senators Win Again and Attained the .500 Percentage.

The Senators won the second game from the Colonels yesterday through the Inabil- ity of the latter to hit McJames. That in- dividual let the Colonels down with six scat- tered hits and struck out six of the Me- Gunnigle band,although he gave eight bases on balls. McCauley and Demontreville both knocked out home runs in the fourth inning, while Joyce’s catch of a long fly from Treadway’s bat in the seventh was one of the features of the game. Hill p! ed for the Colonels and was an easy mark, besides giving six bases on balls. On ac- count of Hill being a left-winged pitcher Capt. Joyce changed the batting order of the Senators, disposing of some of his left- handed hitters. Selbach scorad the Senators’ first run on a hit, a fumble by Treadway and Lush’s out. The same play tallied again in the third on a walk to first, Joyce being hit by the pitcher, Hill’s attempt to catch Joyce nap- ping and Lush's long fly. The two runs in the fourth were made off McCauley’s and Demontreville’s home runs,while Joyce scered again in the fifth through being hit for the second time and going to third on Hill's wild throw to cajch him at first. Joyce was allowed to go to third by Hurst on account of the ball being returned by a spectator,and although McGunnigle protest- ed the play was allowed to go. Joyce then came home on another long fly by Lush. Louisville's runs were made in the fourth, sixth and eighth innings, the sixth being the only in which McJames was hit with any amount of familiarit IN, LOUISVILLE. -H.O. AE.)

Time’2 Umpire Sheridan, WILL STAND BY RUSIE. National Board Threatens to Force Freedman to Grant His Demands, The following information is ascribed to an excellent base ball authority: The National League is very much dis- satisfied with the present attitude of Presi- dent Freedman of the New York club, and the small attendance on the home grounds, owing to the weakness of the club. They do not think he fs justified in assuming such a defiant attitude in the Ruste matter, especially since it is at the expense of other clubs. The Rusile case, it is sald by this author- ity, is simply being held in abeyance by the national board, with the hope that Freedman will come to his senses of his own accord, but if upon the return of the players to New York the club has not been strengthened, the league proposes to take the matter in its own hands, and force Freedman to come to time. It 1s also understood from the same re- lable source that the report of the national board will be favorable to Rusie if Freed- man, by his own defiance, forces the league to act. As the case stands at present the league is disposed to let the New York magnate down with as little humiliation as possible. Rusie has refused aff offer of two hundred dollars a week to go to New York and ex- hibit himself five minutes in his club uni- form at every performance. President Byrne of the Brooklyn club and national board was !n Indianapolis recently, and an early settlement of Rusie’s case is antici- pated. Latham Drops Out of Sight. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 19.—Walter Arling- ton Latham, ex-captain-manager and late third baseman of the St. louis Browns, has been unconditionally released by Presi- dent Von Der Ahe.

The Washington Chess Club is quite hopeful of the results of its ma‘ch by cor- respondence with the Brooklyn Chess Club. In one game, “B,” the local club has an advantage which it is thought will insure ft a victory, as it appears that Brook- lyn must lose one or two pawns, and, te- sides, has an inferior position. In game “A” the position is about even, and the lccal club should secure at least a draw. The score of the games, as far as played, is as follow! Game A—Queen’s Gambit Declined. Brooklyn. Wash'g'n.

Messrs. D. A. Usina and F, B. Waiker have arranged to play a match at chess of five games up, but should both players win four each, the match will be continued to seven games. The games will be played one a week alternately at the Washington Chess Club and at the Capital Bicycle Club. The first game will be played at the chess club this evening. No time clocks will be used, which will allow fuil study of the positions, and ought to result in some ex- cellent games. The players are nearly equal ir strength, and the match will un- doubtedly be close and well contested. Mr. William Steinitz, the veteran chess player, is due at New York the coming week. Since his match with Schiifers he has been giving exhibitions at various places in Russia, besides having visited Berlin, London and Utrecht, Holland. At Moscow he deposited $100 as a forfeit that he would be ready-to meet Lasker in the championship match ‘next fall. The Mos- cow Chess Club will pay 2,000 roubles to the winner and 1,000: roubles to the loser of the match, Re A national mastets’ chess tournament is being held at Simpsen’s Divan, London, in which some of the scores are as follows: Van Vliet, 8; Teichmann, 2; Miller, 2; Fe: ten, 1%, and Bird,:Lee, Mortimer nd Dr. Farrow, 1 each. * .

On account of the rivalry between them a large gathering was attracted to National Park and was rewarded by an exciting contest, although glaring errors in several innings allowed the score to mount up into the double figures. Purner pitched for the Shamrocks and lasted for four innings, being succeeded by Norcom. Warren pitched a steady game for the Canterburys, and but for poor support would have made a much better showing.

Bielaski was aliowed to play with the Bureau for two weeks until it could be decided definitely where he should play, and the tter will be given into the hands of Pr sa, together wih the protest, for fin The decision of that official will be final. DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE J r Stronger Than They Were Last Year. The week just ended is the second one of the season for the Departmental Base Ball League, and while no team, of course, can be accurately sized up as winners, yet a close observer has been able to get a line on the general work of each club and to compare their relative strength. Last year the most noticeable defect in all of the clubs was the lack of outfielders, but this season sees all of the clubs sup- plied with men to guard the outer regions who are in every way qualified. With the i.fantry Neugent, Kleinschmidt and Brown; with the District Commissioners, Jones, Green and Harding; with the Bureau, Flaher: Farrell and Leach; with the Treasury, Buchanan and Kellar, and with the Fort Myer team, Beahr, Mahoney and Higgs, are all players of the first-class, and this addition to the general strength of the league will make the games much more in- teresting and exciting. A ball knocked anywhere in the outfield, as a rule, last year was safe, but this year it ts different, and batters are compelled to pick the good places to send the balls to. The infie! as a rule, are much stronger, too, than last year. Bielaski, McCauley, Madigan and Sprigman make up an infield for the Bureau that is a veritable stone- wall, while Wisner, Smith, Hager and Chamberlin, for the Infantry, are not one whit behind in fielding, and probably a lit- ue better in hitting. The Treasury team aiso has a good infield in Nichols, Bolway, Stockslager and Barrows, and will make batters hustle to get hits between them. The Fort Myer team is a little weak in the infield, but the team is strong in batters and should pull out of many a hole by good stick work. The District office team is strong in the infield with Fuller, Harris, Birney, McGrath and Dickinson, and should make an excellent showing with the stick. The pitchers and catchers are about the same as they were last year, with a few additions to some of the clubs. Things are becoming so now that a pitcher in the de- partmental knows the weakness of the bat- ter in front of him, and is able to feed him balls that he cannot hit. This familiarity, if cultivated, will enable pitchers to keep down the number of hits, and will make the games correspondingly more interesting. All the teams are looked out for by cap- tains who are fine bail players, and who have in addition to their natural abilities a good head for keeping their men together. McCauley, on the Bureau team, while not a sensational player, is steady, and has a wonderful influence in keeping his men working together on the field. The Bureau team won a majority of its victories last year simply through its ability to play to- gether under the guidance of a strong head and hand, In Barrett the Fort Myer team Is well supplied, while Kellar looks out for all the one of the Treasury club in every direc- ion. Smith is captain of the Light Infantry team, and will make the team play for ail it is worth during the remainder of the games. Smith is a steady player, and as soon as he gets nis arm down a trifle ne will probably be the surest shortstop in the league, on account of his experience. ““Nympo” Jones is captain of the District office team, and there is not a more foxy player, or one who knows more pvints on the amateur ball field. He will act as a sort of stayer on the spirits of the young blood of the team, and should land his men in_a good position at the finish. The attendance, which was not very great at the beginning of the season, is begin- ning to pick up, especially among the ladies, and larger figures are recorded every day. This is especially true when the Bureau or Washington Light Infantry play, and the Treasury and District Commissioners’ office are making a strong effort to secure sup- port, and are succeeding much better than they did last season. The soldiers from Fért Myer, it goes without saying, take an interest in their team and support it in every possible way. Departmental League Notes. One of the strongest batters in the league seems to be in the person of Hager, the second baseman of the W. L. I. team. He made two home runs and a double in the game with Fort Myer. “Happy” Chamberlin’s catch at first in the game between the D. C. O.’s and the W. L. I.’s was on the circus order. He jumped up in the air, struck the ball with his mit, knocking it straight up, and then caught it as it came down. It was a great play and he received his due of applause. Bielaski will make one of the strongest infielders the league has. His work at third is of the star order all the time, while he is as steady as one could wish. He is batting in good shape, too. Brown, the outfielder on the Infantry team, is able to pitch with either hand and with almost as much speed with his left as with his right. He intends to spring it upon his man some day when he is in the box, and was repeatedly urged to try it the other day. Sprigman at first fills up a big hole for the Bureau team. Jim is a strong, scrap- py ball player and comes just where the Bureau was weak last year. His batting will also help the team out of many a hole. ‘The District Commissioners’ team, in se- curing the services of Green, strengthened their field and their batting strength at the same time. Green is an old-time player and can play first base with any of them. McGrath at second base for the District team will hold his own with any of t second basemen of the league, although shortstop is his regular position.’ His pl: ing is as clean-cut and as quick as it was with last year’s Georgetown team, and the District boys may consider themselves for- tunate in securing his services. LOCAL COLLEGE TEAMS. Program of Georgetown’s Northern Trip. ‘The two games with the University of Virginia, the second of which was played Saturday, are the last scheduled <o be played by Georgetown University team on the home grounds. Manager O'Brien will take his young collegians to a north- ern latitude, where they will try to sweep everything before them. In the games In the south Georgetown has acquired an enviable record. Out of the fifteen col- lege games played only two have been lost, and these to Yale and Princeton. The lat- ter game was lost through hard luck. The blue and gray had the game virtually won when they had to leave to catch the beat fer Old Point, where, in a crippled condition, Yale succeeded in pulling off a hard-fought victory. For this good record Capt. Harley de- serves the lion’s share of credit. Hard and faithful work on his part has brought the team of good players down to the condition of hermonious team work. George Ma- honey has been the whole strength of the nine. With this giant twirler in the box the men have played a steady and clear game, and for the most part have given him gccd support. Maloney, who has acted as his back stop, is a young catcher, and new to such swift drives as Big Mike sends over the plate, and to face which it takes a steady catcher. But he is a “sandy” catcher and stands up behind the plate like an old stager. Fleming, who h comes from good they grow ball playe heen wonderful for cle ing. He outshines any one in the infield, his style reminding one of Capt. Mahoncy’s work of last year. McCarthy in center field is an old stand by, whose ball playing grows better the longer he plays. This season his stick Work his been especially good. McLaugh- lin, Tracy and Lamb fill the remaining positicns in satisfactory style. Lambert, the substitute pitcher, has been on the bench for a week past, but will be able to go north all right. He S n seriously ill with throat trouble, and is just recov- ering. He has good speed, excellent con- trol and his abilities have been demon- strated in many games. The first college game on the northern trip will be played with Hely Cross at Worcester, M. May 26. This team has been beaten onl Brown University this season and claims the intercollegiate Cham- ship. The rivalry is strong between orgetown and Holy Cross, and this is looked upon with much interest on both sides. The next game is with Brown University, second bag, gland, where . His work has n and quick field- May 27. Brown is acknowledged champion up to this stag> of the game. T Provi- dence boys have twice beaten Yale and Harvard, while Holy Cross and University of Pennsylvania have also succumbed to them. Brown and Georgetown have not met for two years, and the game will prove interesting. Last year Brown Uni- versity gave the New York Giants the hardest tussel of any college team in the country. May 28 Wesleyan will try conclusions with Georgetown at Middletown, Conn. Wesleyan defeated Dartmouth and ‘has put up strong games against Yale and Har- vard. Corneil will have its second whack on June Strong efforts are being made by the Georgetown and Cornell alumni to play the game at Scranton, and :t is likely they will succeed in their’ efforts. Wherever the game is played it will be a hot o: In the intervening dates games have not been arranged, but the following teams are under consideration by Manager O'Brien: ‘Trinity Coliege, Bowdoia, Trenton Athletic Club, “Manhattan and University of New York. Tne team a little over a week, and during that time the students expect to receive telegrams that Georgetown base ball team is ever Victorious. Gallaudet College team played one game during the week, and that with Johns Hop- kins University at Baltimore, coming off Victorious. Saturday the club went to Hagerstown, Md., and played a match game with the Hagerstown Athletic Club. Only one game is on the schedule for this week, and that will be played with the Baltimore City College ou the home grounds at Kendall Green. The Maryland Agricultural team played at Baltimore Saturday with the team of the Baltimore City College. After this game no more events are scheduled until Memorial day, when the team from Rock Hill College will play College Park. DISTRICT L. A. W. Appointment of Local Officials An- nounced, The District division of the League of American Wheelmen held its first meeting of the year last week at the club rooms of the Washington Road Club, at 426 10th street, which was att led by about half a hundred members. Considerable business of importance was transacted, and the pro- gram of the season was mapped out. ‘fhe meeting was called to order by Chief Con- sul Robertson, with Secretary-Treasurer Charles E. Wood present. The most important thing was the an- nouncement of vice consul, Mr. W. K. Larrimore being appointed to the position. Mr. Larrimore is an active and popular wheelman, and a prominent member of the Queer Wheelmen, having held several offices in the club. The list of local con- suls as appointed is as follows: George- town, Frank J. Wissner; Anacostia, F. J. Putnam; northwest section, A. W. Leek: northeast section, J. A. Degges; south: west section, C. D. Church; southeast sec- tion, G. A. Mansfield; eastern section, A. Gtronaud. It was decided to have regular runs on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, and on some Sunday of each sec- me | ill be away from home | ae run will be held Thursday evening, May 28, starting at 7:30 o'clock from Franklin Square, 13th and K streets. A number of committees were appoint- ed, as follows: Committee on rights and privileges, E. G. Fischer, chairman; C. L. Petze and C. N. Moore. Racing committee, C. H. Fisher, chair- man; E. Simpson, William Jose, H. M. Pradey and W. J. Prince. Recruiting committee, F. B. Wheaton, chairman; W. F. Murrill, A. W. Leek, Miss Annie E. Smith and G. W. Spier. It was decided to push the publication of a road book, and a special committee, con- sisting of J. A. Dexges. chairman; E. G. Fischer and Frank J.Wissner, was appoint- ed to compile such a work. There was considerable talk for the good of the league in the city, and the various ; committees will have their hands full of work. It was decided to hold a regular division meeting the first Monday in each month, at which things can be discussed toward building up the local branch. THE UNITED WHEELMEN. © Proposed The movement started a few weeks ago for the organization of the local attached and unattached cyclists has met wits more success than was at first expected, and row it is believed that before the end of the year the memb2rship of the orgaulza- tion will number two-thirds of the cyclists of the District. According to the report of the committee appointed to determine the advisability of formirg a permanent organization, five reasons were given which briefly summed up the advantages. According to the re- port the reasons were: First. To secure the enforcement of just laws and the repeal of all unjust laws in regard to cyclists and cycling. Second. To influence legislation favorable to the protection of the riders of the whee Third. To secure better service and r duced rates at the hotels in and around the District of Columb Fourth. To encourage and control road racing in the District. Fifth. To encourage runs to neighboring cities, and to promote i and s0- ciability mong cyclist The first reason covers a multitude of things. It provides for the enforcement of laws which will benefit the cyclers. It will | mean an otten.pt to enforce the regulations | iz regard to throwing glass in the streets. It will also mean an argument for the en- forcement of the law in regard to v Many of the accidents to cyclists are due to the careles:ness of drivers, who will persistently drive on the wrong side of the street, and in the erdeavor to get out of the way of vehicles running in both d tions the wheelmen sometimes meet with an accident. It will mean the enforcement of the regulation providing for lights on hicles. carriages, the lack of which ts not felt so much in the city as on the roads at night, when in the darkness it is impossible to discern a v e until close upon it. For | the repeal of unjust laws it will mean an | attempt to incicase the speed limit of bicy- | cles in the city. Under the police | tions the speed of a bicy i tically eight miles an hour, when vehi- cles are permitted to go at the of twelve miles an hour. Under th ‘ond rezson advanced the association will endeavor to have laws and regulations adopted which will more ful establish and protect the rights of whi men. One thing which will be request. | will be the erection of sign posts at the sings of all the roads wita Dis- These signs are much mor pensive t those used on the | the city, end should be in positiun, for the gocd of wheelmen, but f efit of the general public. In co-o with the Maryland authcrities, the schem will be extended, if pcssible, out in Mary- land. In addition to this, there arc ber of other laws which can be urg favorable action, which will prove mense be efit tc wheelmen. The third reason provides for arrs ments with hotels. This means that the a sociatjon will select some hotel at each of the objective points of the trips of local wheelmen, and by throwing all the pat age to one place secure not only a redu in the general price but a much bj vice than if the patronage wer: among three or four places } event that no reducti | ter service woul The fourth rate of im- to a long-felt te road ra in the District. Fer some time the ne such an organization to regulete road has been felt, and no season so muc last year, when road racing received a se- rious blow through foul and tricky riding in | two of the twenty mile ra With an as- sociation iike the United Wheelmen in o trol, and the other clubs of the District agreeing to abide by its decision, a rider | found guilty of unfair work in a road race could be temporarily or perma according to the nature of h The fifth reason is one upon association is now working, an: tend to affiliate the wheelmen « ton with those of neighborin personal meeting and friendly much good will result. More t fifth reason provides for the pr intercourse and sociability amo and this will mean one or mor during the season, perhaps an e an entertainment of some sort. The dues, as recommended by mittee on permanent organiza nominal, and the sum fixed at ursion or the com- on, will be fty cents a year, which will no more than defray ex- j Penses. Certain restrictions, of course, wil | be placed on the membership, so as to pre- j Vent the admission of any object persons. é riders will be admi well as the mer idea being to look out for the interests of all the members alike. The association will uphold the rights of the cyclists in court. A lawyer will be lected who will look out for the in the organization, his fee to be paid o the association’s fund. Should a cy injured or his wheel destroyed through the negligence of a driver, the owner of t vehicle will be requested to make good the damage, and if this be refused the matter thefts will be carried to court. To pre’ of whe it is contemplated to small reward, perhaps $5 in each case the arrest and conviction of the thie rigid enforcement of the law in this would undoubtedly have a saluta upon the criminals of this class espect effect The next meeting will be held We street northwest, the nd if om- evening at 510 11th the constitution is presented by mittee appointed to draft such, a permanent organization will be effected.
