Yesterday's game at Chicago, a pitchers’ battie, was won by the Colts in the tenth inning. Ryan led off with a triple and scored the winning run, when Cartrigift failed to stop Decker’s hot grounde Crooks was brovght in to bat for German in the ninth, “Silver” King doing the twirl- ing for the Senators during the last two innings. Joyce's men tiled the seare in the ninth, and from the determined manner they were playing {t looked as though the record would be two out of three in the windy city. But, alas! fickle hope. The one hit they longed for never came. The ga was an interesting one, with everal brilliant features. Selbach was hitted to right field, Lush covering left. erman pitched a good game. “Silver” King created 2 favorable impression. Reilly and Lush did particularly good work in the field, while De Montreville was very much in the game. CHICA Parker, ct. 0 i, rf..1 Totals *Crooks | . a20One out when winning run was made.

The Washington-Chicago game Saturday is reported to have been an exhibition of remarkably miserable fielding all around. The contest was almost presented to the visitors, but they failed to take advantage of the situation. Chicago then made a bat- ting rally and won out. The score was; Chicago, 11; Washington, 9. The scores of the other league games Saturday were: Baltimore 18; Loutsville, 4. Brooklyn, 6; St. Louis, 3. Cleveland, 13; Boston, 5. Pittsburg, 15; Philadelphia, 7% New York, 4; Cincinnati, 2. Will Welcome the Senators. A number of local base ball patrons have determined to give the Washingtons a hearty welcome when they return, at 11:23 tonight. The Vietor Drum Corps has been engaged, and, with a number of friends of the team, will meet the latter at the railway station. Among those interested in the re- ception are M. LB. Saanlon, John Hogan, George Biggs, A. Meinking ‘and Unsworth, managers of the Victor Drum Corps. Base Ball Notes. The Washingtcn Base Ball Club is speed- ing homeward from Chicago today, and is scheduled to arrive shortly before midnight. Play at National Park-is to be resumed tomorrow afternoon, with Cincinnail as the visitors. The base ball public will then have an opportunity to view the mam- moth new grand stand in course of erec- tion. Catcher Clements was struck on the leg by a feul tip Saturday at Pittsburg, and he will not be able to play again for some weeks. Pitcher Weyhing of Louisville has been given ten days’ notice of release by Man- ager McGunnigle. It is claimed that Weyh- ing and others of the older men were boy- cotting three of the fast young piayers and hindering them in their play. June 23, when the Reds reach Chicago, Chariie Irwin, the Cincinnati third base- mal will be married to Miss Estella of Chicago. cher Rhines had the bene of the third finger of his pitching hand broken above the first joint by a ball batted by Miller in the third inning of yesterday's game with Loutsville. Holliday will come east instead of Rhines. Peitz twisted his legs im sliding {nto second in a way that may develop into a “charley horse.” The Boston team arrived at Philadel- hia yesterday afternoon. Manager Selee eels elated over the showing made by his men, and when it is considered that they have played but three games at home, he has every reason to feel proud. “If our boys get in their average number of hits,” says he, “there is no reason why we shouldn't be right in it.” The main guard of the Phillies arrived home at the matin hour yesterday, some- what disfigured, but still able to figure out the first and fifteenth of each recurring twelvemonth. Some of the players feel mortified over the club’s let down in the West, and show it, while some of the others bear it with @ philosophy that is closely THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, MAY 25, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. akin to indifference. When asked the rea- son for the poor work on the trip one of the players replied: “As soon as Nash was hurt the sluggers failed to slug. They went up to the plate with their hearts in their throats, and when they did hit at the ball they invariably pulled away from the plate, fearing that they might meet Nash’s fate.” ON THE WESTERN TRIP.

The City League, which opened several weeks ago, has developed the fact that Washington, as well as other cities, has league talent in the promising youngstexs gathered together in the District League. Zhe Shamrocks have team werk and ex- cel in that Ine. They play together from the start, and that accounts for their good showing. The Canterburys have individu- ally the best team in the league, but they have not yet mastered.the art of team work, and until they have, it Is out of the question to give them a place, but Capt. Williams is a live, hustlirg, energetic cap- tain, and he is working his men hard, and the next game will ses them well drilled. The Eastern Athletic Club is composed of a lot of ambitious youngsters, who are in the game all the time, as their contest with the Shamrocks demcrstrated. The: have a touch of hard luck, and when Dai Fortune turns her back on you it is useles: to hold the sponge. The Mile Limits, another strong aggre- gation, completes the league, and with Mc- Cann, the star pitcher of last year’s Vir- winia State League, and Purrer, whom Washington found a shade too slow, they will be right in the fight to the wind-up. The boys have been putting up the real article, and the game they have been play- ing is worthy of better patronage than they have been receiving. The Canterbury-Mile Limit game was a record breaker, terminating in one hour and thirty minut ‘The Shamrock-Canterbury game is under protest. The Canterburys last Sunday took the strong Harlems into their can:p by the score of 8 to 4. The Shamrocks and the Washington Bar- racks play a benefit game soon. The Eastern Athletic Club and the Mile Limits have recently been strengthened by the addition of a couple of players, so look out for them in the near future. Purner, for the first six innings, has the speed of a Rusie, but after that he lets down considerably. McCenn has more control of the ball than any pitcher In the District League. Tho next game is booked for Decoration day, between the Canterburys and Eastern Athletic Club. As soon as Cassavant gets over his rfer- vousress tho kicking will take a big slump. The Shamrocks play together like a lot of Da they work together like clock- worl The Canterburys are desirous of obtain- ing games with strong out-of-town clubs, giving a good guarantee. They would like to All the open dates. Address J. Duffy, manager, 319 New York avenue northwest, Washington, D, C. DEFEATED AT ANNAPOLIS. The C. A. ©. Eight Outrowed by the Naval Cadets.

EVENTS, Field Day of the Chevy Chase Club Saturday. Society participated in the events ar- ranged for In the program of the third an- nual field day of the Chevy Chase Club, which was held Saturday afternoon.

Wheelmen’s Smoker. ‘The smoker given by the Columbia Ath- letic Club Saturday evening to the wheei- men of the city was an unqualified success. The gymnasium hall was crowded and the list of those who submitted their names for membership in the wheeling division of the club was very promising. The ducs have been put down to $2 a month, and it is ex- pected that a great number of the wheel- men of the city will come into the organiza- tion as soon as it is well under way. The feature of the evening was the music ren- dered by the Marine Band, other musical specialties being given by local talent. The committee in charge of the arrangements consisted of J. Hart Brittain, manager, Stlles, Goodale, Wells and Dr. Haynes. IN LABOR CIRCLES. esting Business at the Meeting of the Bricklayers’ Union. The regulay bi-monthly meting of Brick- layers’ Union, No. 1, was held Friday even- ing at Bricklayers’ Hall, corner of 7th and L. streets northwest, President W. H. Maghan in the chair. The attendance was large and the proceedings were very inter- esting. ‘The report of the committee in the mat- ter of thy employment of non-union men on the construction of the Potomac electric blant in Georgetown was heard, and as il seemed, in the judgment of the commit- tee, that the company will persist in re- talning the men complained of, the union deiermined that more positive action should be taken by it through the Central Labor Union and Building Trades Council. A communication was read from Secre- tary rrens of the Central Labor Union requesting that a Labor day committe be appointed by the union. in complinnc with the request a committce of five was appolnied to meet the other organizations in conference and arrange for a demon: tion on that day. The brici: mined that they would make Y possi- ble effort to co-operate with other unions toward making the next Labor day demon- stration the greutest affair of the kind t has ever occurred in the District. Atten- tion was called to the fact that the Bric layers’ Union was the first organization in the District to observe Labor cay, long be- fore it was legalized by Congress. A. resolution was adopted indorsing the action of the steamfitters and the steam- fitters’ helpers in their efforis to secure an eight-hour work day, und pledging to them the moral and financtal support of the organization, and a sum of money was donated to ald the idle members of the Steamiitters. Messrs. William Carr and William Moran, members of Carpenters’ Assembly, 1748, were given a hearing, in which the rievances, and charged that e Central Labor Union, the Building Trades Council and several’ local org: tions the interests of the the assembly were being serivus! As Messrs. Carr and Moran admitted that they had called upon the union of their own volition, and were not appointed z a committee by Carpenters’ Assembl. their statements were not formally consid- ered. Local Union, No. opened their ‘new me 5US 11th steeet_ northwest last evening with a smoker. The union's new headqua ters are much more commouious than those formerly occupted by them, and consist of three rooms, all of which have been taste- fully and appropriately fitted up for the purposes of the union. The joint Labor day committee of the Central Labor Union and the Building ‘Trades Council met informally last ev ing. No business was transacted, bei it was found that so many unions had, at the request of the Central Labor Union, appointed committees to co-operate with the two bodies named, that the hall was too full of delegates to permit of the prop- er conduct of the affairs incident to Labor day. It was determined to get a larger hall, and an adjournment was then taken unul Friday evening next. —_—_—— GRADUATING electrical Workers, eting rooms at XERC ES.

The colored Sunday school unions of the Paptist and Methodist denominations have decided to unite and give a three da convention at the Metropolitan Baptist Church on R street about the iniddle of June. Presidents Bagley and Hamilton have been busily engaged during the past three weeks in mapping out arrangements for a successful convention. Last evening representatives from a majority of the churches of both unions held a meeting at the ¥. M. GC. A. to hear committee reports. The chairman of the finance committee re- ported a recommendation, which was adopted, that each of the hundred churches of both unions be requested to send five delegates and two dollars, or so much thereof as possible, with which to defray the necessary expenses of the convention.
