Washington Outplayed Pittsburg in the Afternoon Game Saturd Washington outplayed Pittsburg in the afternoon Saturday at every point, and won by the score of 8 to 1. Mercer was the bright star of the game, pitching steady ball throughout and partictpating tn the star play of the game, a double play. The Senators smashed the ball hard at critical and made but one error in the field. s record for the whole day was a splendid one—six hits, a double, two triples and a home run, with two singles out of nine times at the bat, with fourteen bases, and figuring In ten of Washington’s runs. After his last hit—a home run—he was ten- dered an ovation. © weather was not exactly base ball her, but 11,000 witnessed the game. Senators made twelve hits off Hawley, while the Pirates made elght hits and three errors. The other games played in the afternoon follows: yn, 9; Chicago, 1. Philadelphia, 7; St. Louts, 1 TO PAY RUSIE’S SALARY. National League Ball Players Cir- calating a Sabscription Paper. From the New York Journal. It was learned from a reliable source yes- terday that in the event of President refusing to sign Ruste at the terms, his salary will be paid by nds in the profession. Several well- known ball players, who are in sympathy with the big Hooster twirler, and who are under the impression that Mr. Freedman is Stretching the thing too far, have started a popular subscription among the players of the National League. No specified sum fs asked for, but any player desiring to contribute his share can do so. One of the piayers at the head of the movement said yesterday =e s se has attra mn among the player d considerable att in the Nation- al League. Those who were in the league the brotherhood was organized can y understand the position Amos is in. players naturally want to be right as many of them have already felt er of the magnates, and they are Ip Amos out. this action on our part does n that the players are going to re- volt and try to give the league another bat- te, but it is done in good spirit and to show that we players intend to stick by esch other when we thick we are in the right. Amos might be wrong in the stand he has taken, but nevertheless he will re- ceive the support of the players until it is cleariy ven that his is a case of stub- bornn Joyce Vindicated. From the Cincinest! Enquirer. “Silver” King is one case of “resurrec- tion in base ball.” He came back “to earth again” at Washington yesterday. It taxes a good pitcher to let the Pittsburgs down with a half dozen hits. crappy” Joyce has been vindicated In his effort to put his old-time side partner back into the busi- ress. No String to It. From the Cincinnat! Enquirer, If that $12,500 offer for Rusie was made by some managers in the league it would be set dowr as a case of “Bull con.” With Gus Schmelz it is different. Gus and his employer, Earl Wagner, are ‘‘up-and- up” on-the-level business men and are above anything that savors of a jolly to get_a little cheap advertisement. That $12,500 did not have a string to it, as some of the $19,000 offers made early in the sea- son did. Standing of the C1 W. L.

The “Spiders 1 from a eeries of hard games with Boston, winning and losing one playing a twelve-inning tie. There is no question as to the playing ability of the Clevelands and also their fighting abil- ity, but ft fs just such clubs that the Sen- ators are liable to win from. The Cleve- lands are at the head of the list and play- ing great ball, but overconfidence has thrown them down before and may do the trick today. Al Maul will probably be in the box for the local club and Cuppy ts about due for the visitors. Pat Tebeau is playing first and leading the league in that position. “Chippy” McGarr is back on third and nas strengthened the Infleld, while Harry Blake, the fleet-footed right fielder, has frozen out his understudy and is capturing flies In his own masterly style. Taking the Clevelands as 2. whole, there is not a weak man on the team, running from catcher to right fielder, and the games for the next three days will be worth going miles to see. The teams will probably line up as follows: Cleveland— Burkett, Lf. Washiw ston— Brown, c.f. Joyce, 2b. Lush, r.f. 1b. Selbach, Lf. ¢. Cartwright, 1b. Blake, r.f. McGuire, ec. McAleer, c.f.

The following is a list of the votes cast up to date for the most popular player on the Washington base ball club, who will be given a $100 Kensington bicycle by the Standard Advertising Company at the end of the season: Wm.

There ts said to be trouble among the Phillies over a new set of rules. The rule to which the players take particular ex- ception fs the fifth, which provides for an assessment of $30 for each player who wants to be clean. In other words, the management figure on getting something over $500 in return for the use of the lock- ers and baths in the new club house just completed, as Interest on their investment, whieh is touchingly referred to in the clos. ing words of the eighth rule. The men are a unit in declaring that they will never submit to this levy on the next thing to godliness, and before doing so will stick to their old quarters. Besides, they find much fault with the arrangement, which allows all the waste water from the showers to run direct into the plunge. This jis only one of their many objections, but it 1s well taken, and shows a great oversight on the part of those who planned the new build- ing E. Unless the players pay the assessment they will be compelled to put up with the accommodations afforded by four little basins, which is not very generous, consid- ering the cheapness of water and soap. The result of their stand against the new idea in the running of base ball teams is awaited with much interest. District League Notes. The boys in the District League have taken advantage of their long rest, and are practicing daily on their respective grounds, and everybody is anxiously awaiting the next game. Manager Har- low has his men out daily at Capitol Park practicing. Capt. Williams and Manager Duffy have been closeted with the boys, teaching them some new tricks. The Hastern Athletic Club players are allowing no grass to grow under their feet, and team work along with their new men will be a big factor in their next game. The Mile Limits have plugged up that hole at short, and with this spot, which heretofore has been their drawback, safely remedied, it's even money on their chances. Loveless of the Canterburys leads the league in hitting, with Warren of the same team a close second. The Shamrocks are negotiating for a game with the Walkaways, who defeated them last year by the score of 10 to 2. Cronin of the Canterburys injured his back last week, compelling him to quit the game, but he 1s now on the fair road to re- covery. The Canterburys, for the second time, took the Harlems into camp by the score of to 5. The Shamrocks are now tn clover. League managers looking for talent will do well by watching the city league. The Canterbury Athletic Club wi id like to arrange games with in or out-of-town clubs, preference given to out-of-town clubs. They would like to hear from Hage: wn, Martinsburg, Cumberland, Frederick, Chambersburg and other good strong clubs, giving a suitable guarantee. Address Manager John Duffy, 813 New York avenue northwest, Washington, D. C. Capt. Williams last Sunday split a finger, but it is now past danger, and he wiil be in the next game with heart and soul, just as of old. Forfeited to the Infantry. The District Commissioners’ office team failed to appear at National Park Satur- day, and the game scheduled in the De- partmental League series was given to the Light Infantry. A scrub team, composed of players from the Columbian’ University and the Eastern Athletic Ciub, was de- rie a by the Infantry by the score of 14 0 12. Saturday’s College Games. Princeton defeated Harvard at Cambridge, Mass., Saturday afternoon in a very ex- citing contest, lasting sixteen innings. At the end of the ninth the score was 5 to 5. Both teams scored in the fourteenth. Princeton made two runs in the sixteenth inning, winning the game. The batteries were Easton, Wilson and Titus for Prince- ton, Paine and Scannell for Harvard. Other games resulted as follows: At Jasper Oval, New York—Manhattan College, 6; Georgetown University, 4. At Ithaca, N. Y.—Cornell, 9. niversity of Pennsylvania, 26. At Providence, R. I.—Brown, 6; Yale, 4. At Williemstown, Mass.—Williams, 10; Amherst, 9. Base Ball Note The game of base ball which was to havo taken place last Thursday between a nine from the Emmet Guard and the Shamrocks at Capltal Park for the benefit of the fire- men’s fund and which was postponed on account of rain, will take place tomorrow afternoon at the same time and place. Bowerman and Corbett, the battery of the Baltimore base ball club, who were leaned to the Norfolk team of the Virginia League, have been recalled by the Balti- more management. Through the courtesy of Manager Buck- ler, the Washington and Cleveland base ball teams will occupy a box at Allen's Grand Opera House tonight. All the clubs, with one or two excep- tions, are crying hard luck even earlier this year than last. Baltimore seems to have had its full measure of this afilction. Jack Dcyle's absence from the batting list is felt. His position on first base is being filled fairly well by Bill Clarke. The fre- quent repcrts showing McGraw’s improving health make the cranks anxious for the re- turn of the little third baseman. Jimmy Donnelly has been playing a great game at the lower left corner of the diamond, a game that could hardly be tmproved ‘on, and at bat he is doing splendidly.—Balti- more Herald. WON BY AN INNING. Morley’s Side Won at Cricket Satur- day. The Washington cricketers met Saturday on their ground for a match, the sides be- ing captained by 8. C. Mather and G. H. Morley. An excellent wicket had been pre- pared by F. Wright and G. H. Morley, and as perfect cricket weather prevailed the game was a thoroughly enjoyable one to those who took part. Morley bowled un- usually well and was ‘dead on,” while the heaviest scoring was done by Robinson, Pring and Cherrington. The result was a decided ,victory for Moriey’s men, they winning by an innings and eleven runs. Appended is the full score: Mather’s Side. First innings— Second innings— ol.

They Were the Conspicuous Figures in Saturday's Races, The International Athletic Park was auspiciously opened Saturday afternoon with the race meet of the Washington Road Club. ‘Phere were fully 1,500 spectators, most of whom reached the park in car- riages or on bicycles. Many people who relied on reaching the place by the Great Falls railroad were kept back on account of a collis‘on, which stopped traffic for sev- eral hours. In the mile novice there were nineteen entries, which necessitated the running of two heats, four men to qualify in the finals. Long Shearer, F. H. Pridham of Baltimore, B. G. Duvall and Hardy Pritch- ard qualified in order in the first heat, while BH. L. Wilson, Billie Sims, W. H. Shroop and W. H. L. Walcott qualificd in the second heat. In the final Wilson cro: ed the tape first, with Sims a close second. In the second race, one mile, open, a time limit of 2:35 was placed. Sims won. but as the time was 2:46 the judges de- clared it no race, and ordered It to be run over. The second race was a pretty event, and though Schade took the lead on the last lap, Sims maraged to win by a few feet. The championship race of the District was a very unsatisfactory race. Though there were eleven entries, but three men started, W. F. Sims and his brother Billie, and George E. Smith. E. L. Wilson paced for one lap and C. 1. Ronsaville for two laps. Smith held the lead until half way around on the third lap, when the Sims boys gained the lead by a spurt. The two pocketed Smith, and Fred Sims permitted his brother to win. The three men at the finish were not more than five feet from the first to the last man. The spectators who observed the inciden{ hissed the re- sult, though Fred Sims clapped his hands in joy as his brother crossed the tape, not a half a length ahead. The two-mile handicap, with twenty-seven entries and twenty-one starters, was run in one race instead of heats, and proved a@.pretty race. Schade jwas practically scratch man, and won, after a beautiful race. At the end of the program Sims gave an exhibition mile, his time being 2:22 2-5. Schade rode a similar “thile in 2:16 4- Sims became rattled at this, and made ai other attempt, but only succeeded in mak- ing the three circuits in.,2:19. There were three spills at the meet, two of which occurred in the novice races. H. Just fell on the second lap of the first trial, and in the finals, Long Shearer, F. H. Pridham and W. H. Throop went down, sustaining bruises sufficient to prevent them from entering other races. In the second run-off of the mile open W. A. Morse fell on the third lap, but was not injured. The track was in fair shape, though It required much hard labor to get it in any condition for the race meet. Much credit is due to Manager McKean, whose efforts contributed largely to the success of the jay. i The summary of prize winners is as fol- lows: One mile novice—E. L. Wileon, Le D. P. W., won; Billie Sims, second; E. G. Duvall, third; time, 3:34 1-5, One mile open—W, F. Sims, unattached, won; F. A. L. Schade, second; T. N. Mud Jr,, third; B. 'T. Wrenn, fourth; fifth; time, 2:85. Quarter-mile open—W. F. Sims, A. W. won; F. A. L. Schade, second; V. 8. Bar- ber, third; George B. ‘Smith, fourth; time, Mile District championship—Billie Sims won; W. F. Sims, second, and George E. Smith, third; time, 2:50 4-5. Two-mile handicap—F. A. L. Schade wo Billie Sims, second; E. L. Wilson, thir: T. N. Mudd, rourth; Hardy Pritchard, fifth; B. T. Wrenn, sixth; E. J. Murphy, seventh; W. O. Woodward, eighth; Henry Just, ninth; time, 4:52 2- In addition to this, W. F. Sims recelved a gold medal for making the fastest mile in any event on the program. TWO GREAT RACES. Belmont Stakes and Brooktyn Handi- cap This Week. Two superlutively interesting racing events will occur this week. The Belmont stakes, which will really be a duel between August Belmont’s Hastings and P. J. Dwy- er's Handspring, will be run tomorrow; the famous Brooklyn handicap will be run ‘Thursday. In the Brooklyn handicap Mr.’ Rose's Clifford will be the favorite, with. Mr. Fleischmann’s St. Maxim probably the second choice. If Mr. Dwyer decides to start Handspring, and his decision, he said Saturday, would depend on the colt’s performance in the Belmont, Handspring, with Simms in the saddle, will not lack backers. Sir Walter, Counter Tenor, Hor pipe and Nanki Pooh are almost certa Fg Lazzarone and Keenan are doubt- ‘ul. BARRED BY TIME LIMIT. Capital Yacht Club's Boats Failed to Sail the Course in Seyen Hours. The fourth annual regatta of the Capital Yacht Club was held Saturday, but owing to the absence of sufficient wind the course wasn’t covered within the time limit, seven hours, and the race was declared off. The officials of the club will meet Thursday evening to arrange another ‘date. The yachts which started were Francina, Undine, Spartan, Acme, Boojum, Olga, Cat- fish, Grace and Hilda. The yachts Spartan and Acme were the favorites, the former winning last year. Although the majority of those inter- ested in the occasion had given up all hope of the course being covered within the time limits, a large number stayed to see the finish, the first boat, the Acme, coming In at 5:80. The Acme was the first to turn the buoy, with about a quarter of a mile lead over the Spartan, and led al¥ the way from the buoy to the arsenal point. De Oro and Eby Matched. Alfred Ds Oro, champion, of the world at continuous pool, has accepted the chal- lenge issued by Grant Eby of Springtield, Ohio. They will play 600 points. Two hun- dred points each night in New York June 11, 12 and 13, The series will be for $300 and the net box receipts. New Homing Pigeon Club. A new club, named the Washington Monumental Homing Club, has been or- ganized, composed of the following mem- bers: E. F, Barker, H. L. Lewis, Wm. R. Goodman, R. A. Lewis, Wm. Callahan and Wm. Strifler. The club has been training its birds every Saturday since the organi- zation. It sent its birds Saturday to Co- lonial Beach, where 75 rer cent of them made excellent time. Foote and Chace Won. At New Haven, Conn., Saturday the dou- bles tennis finals were won by A. E. Foote and M. C. Chase from W. L. Phelps and F. L. Chase: 6—0, 6—1, 6-2. In the consola- tion H. B. Eddy defeated W. L. Phelps, 8-6, 6-4. Intercollegiate, Records Broken. Record smashing was done Saturday at the twenty-first intercollegiate atiletic games, held on Manhattan Field, New York. The first was done by Winsor, of Pennsyl- vania, who in the high jump. made the cs- sociation figures 6 feet 1 inch. Bernard J. Wefers, the Georgetown sprinter, in the final 100-yard run sét the record to 94-5. Hollister, of Harvard, wiped out the” hal: mile record and put it at 1 minute 564-5 seconds. Wefers in the 220-yard run broke all records, eclipsing his own by 2-5 of a second, and going the distance in 224-5 seconds. Yale won the trophy with a score of 41% points, Pennsylvania was second with 2213 points, and Harvard third with 13. The others were: Georgetown, 10; Columbia, 71g: Boston, 5; Cornell, 8; Willams, 2; Wash- ington and Jefferson, 1, and Columbian, %. Cadets’ Eight Win From Potomacs.

Friday the Yele athletes will leave New Haven for New York, and Saturday morning will sail for England. he party will consist of Captain Tread- regular 0; ident de Robert J. Cook, trainer, and Assistant Manager Wheel- wright. A number of prominent Yale alumni have also engaged passage on the same cat. secured passage on the Umbria, which leaves New York June 27, and it is esti- mated that between 200 and S00 under- graduates altogether will witness the Hen- ley events. The crew will be required to take light, but regular, exercise on the ocean voyage, the work being directed by Cook. The crew are expected to land about June 12, and to go at once to their quar- ters at Henley. They will remain there, practicing daily, till after the races, come of the oarsmen then returning | home, others taking a European trip. Two shells will be sent ahead of the crew. They are exactly similar to those in which Yale crews have raced for several years, of paper, ad weighing about 225 pomnds. The crew which will represent Yale at Henley is thought to be one of the strongest which ever rowed a race for the univer- sity. ‘They are unfortunate in having Brown (No. 2) overtrained. He has been out of the boat geveral days, but will, in all probability, be in good condition when the crew arrives in Engiand. The stroke which the crew will row on the Thames differs little from the regula- tion Cook style of rowing. It is sharper and quicker, but is essentially the Cook stroke.

Park Commissioner Ridgeley Men- tions Some of the Incidents. Capt. Frank L. Ridgeley, one of the park commissioners of St. Louis, was in the city this morning on his way to Annapolis to attend the commencement exercises there. Captain Ridgeley left St. Louls on Satur- day, three days after the cyclone. To a Star reporter this morning he said: “I can- not speak too highly of the work of Mayor Walbridge. It was but a short time after the storm before he got together the heads of the street and health departments and put them to work. He is a hard worker, and it will not be long before he will have St. Louis in as fine condition as before the terrible storm. “Any incidents of the storm? Yes, thou- sards of them, but they were so frequent that they became common. The anxiety felt throughout the city a few hours after the storm was heartrending. Ihave a friend who went to his home in North St. Louis and found his family away. The storm had not done his home any harm, but he was worrted about his family. He went to the home of his mother-in-law to see if Lis family was there. He found the hovee demolished. He was wild for hours until somebody told him that his family was safe. There were thousands of other ceses just like this, except that there was were sadness connected with some of them. earchers found members of their families dead and injured instead of safe. “The storm disabuses our minds of the idea that a city has immunity from a cy- clene because of its big strong buildings. It’s not the velocity of the wind that does damage, but the whirlwinds, which tear and twist.” Mr. Ridgeley said that the damage to the .Eads bridge was about $100,000, and that President Walsh of the bridge company had gone to work immediately to repair this damage. Trains were now running over the bridge and traffic had been re- stored. ————— At the Synagogue.

Although the official report places the number of those killed in the disaster on the Khodynski Plain at Moscow, as tele- graphed to The Star, at 1,138, it is highly probable that the exact number of victims will never be known. The vice mayor reckons that 1,336 persons were killed and 286 seriously, perhaps fatally, injured. The official accounts, however, do not include many dead and injured who were removed by friends. The following description of the plain af- ter the panic has been telegraphed by the New York Herald’s Moscow covrespondent: I visited the scene later in the day. The ground was strewn with boots, broken sticks and umbrellas, and large wagons were still being filied with the dead. In some cases relatives were pleading to be allowed to accompany the corpses. One man actually allowed himself to be shut in with them. The scene resembles a bat- tlefield. On almost every body money had been laid, according to the Russian cus- tom, and on some were pieces of paper bearing # name. On the chest of one man of superior appearance was a photograph. Many relatives of the victims sat among the dead wailing lamentations or looking stoically into space, and many sat thus throughout the night and unul the bodies were removed this morning. Seene in the Burial Ground. Investigation shows that there have been about as many women as male victims. Some of the men were giants in stature; some were mere youths. The scene at the burlal ground today was appalling. The dead were laid in long rows and hundreds of moujiks were working as though for life, excavating huge trenches, extending nearly the entire length of the church yard. Hundreds were buried during the night, but today the hillside was still coy- ered with rough coffins. Dverywhere siood groups from which came the low wailing chant which the Russian peasaits sing over the dead. Jn one spot stood a big water- ing cart. Male and femaie dead were being washed by their relatives there in the open field. Around @ long table sat a score of clerks writing orders for coffins. Hundreds of bodies, however, are unrecognized, and these will be placed side by side in trenches tonight. ———__+e+ Will Sustained, In the matter of the contest over the estate of the late James Burns the jury returned a verdict in the case today, sus- taining the will.

Eckington Citizens Object to the Compressed Air Substitute. The North Capitol and Eckington ( zens’ Association, through W. G. Hen¢ son, W. J. Hughes, Edward Kern, J. Bancroft and W. J. Fowler of the ex committee, and A. R. Severn, T. P. ti committee, have filed with Chairman Bab- cock of the House District committee a written protest against the passi Joint resolution (8. R. 151) authorizing a change in the motive power of the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home, Belt Line and Maryland and Baltimore railway compa nies. The protest states that the passage of this resolution as a substitute for en ale bill No. 2028, which has passed both houses is now in conference committee, and is eat. isfactory to the people, would, it is dently believed, be equivalent to no leg all, as far as effecting permane results is concerned in the modernization of the lines of the companies within the time fixed in the resolution. It practicall the signers say, authorizes the compas , if none of the systems tried shall prove to be satisfact makes no provision for the adoption of of the other systems which have been dem. onstrated by actual test to be in every re- spect practicable and successful. The protest further states that while tile resolution authorizes and requires the com: panies to equip their respective line within two years from the date of its p “with such pneumatic or other mode: tive power as said railwa: spectively, may deem best se mm mo- companies, re- it provides penalty for failure to comply with ths terms of the resolution, and therefore is equivalent to leaving it entirely to t option of the companies to comply with ! provisions or not. The resolution, the pro- testants say, is loose in construction, in- definite in terms and uncertain in results. A Star reporter was informed by one of the signers of this protest that the bringing forward of this resolution at this time te but a subterfuge on part of the represe > tives of these companies to defeat the bill now in conference. They prefer, he said, the resolution to the bill, because under the provisions of the former they would have unrestricted latitude to do just as they please, or do nothing, as they saw fit. The citizens’ association, he said, would rather see no legislation at all than the passage of this resolution, which is equivalent to none, so far as the people's interests are concerned.
