He leved, as he expressed it, to “sit at home in his own mind,” and a roomy, well-furnish- ed place to sit in it was. His memory was marvelous, not for details of daily life, but for long passages of poetry, odds and ends, quaint Berkshire stories, with which he would illustrate and illume passing topics. A talker he was not, save in an interjec- tional, exclamatory, or declarnatory fash- jon, at least in later years. His imagin: tive power was so great that he fancied he disliked the daily and weekly papers. As a fact, few people were fonder of them or read them with greater assiduity; and though he may have liked “staying in his own mind,” he was also foad of travel in foreign countries, as may be seen from his létters to the Spectator under the sig- nature Vacuus Viator, from 1862 to 1895, and republished last year. His liberality was wonderful until the letters addressed to him fell into other hands, no one knew how many asked help of him, and got it. aeanee not always wise in this matter; hii yish trustfulness being in this, as in some other things, his bane. He believed almost any story, rec- ognized fictitious claims, gave large sums, forgot that he had given, and iineretors gave again. Such a man, such a boy, want- ed some one by him to shield, support and cheer him, for though cheery, he was not always cheerful some one full of sympathy, courage, common sense; some one to see things as they are; some one to attend to the small things of life, and not only to the panaceas, the great schemes. Those who knew Tom Hughes know, and those who @id not may be glad to hear, that such a friend he had. +o+—____ His Fatal Fault.

Chicago at Baltimore. Pittsburg at New York. Cincinnati at Boston. Louisville at Philadedlphia Cleveland at Brooklyn. Another cherry pie arrived in Washing- ton this morning, in the shape of the St. Louis club, and the Senators will proceed to take three, good, hearty bites from the luscious pastry. Other clubs on the east- ern circuit have been having a good time at the Browns’ expense, and it is a foregone conclusion that three straight, Mr. Breiten- stein to the contrary notwithstanding, will be the sum total Saturday night. Old re- Mable Roger Conner, who is captain and manager, is still on first for the visitors, and his right-hand partner remains the same, Joe Quinn. At third a Washington key, Bert Myers, is doing really fine work, while at short that erratic erstwhile Penn- sylvania Leaguer, Monty Cross, formerly of Baltimore and Pittsburg, is trying very hard to fill Ely’s shoes. In the outfield the once-upon-a-time Washington player, Tommy Dowd, 1s capturing everything that comes his way, as usual, and is hitting ata 800 clip. For side partners Dowd has the celebrated “Tacks” Parrott and Tommy and, two men that were thrown at Mag- nate Von Der Ahe by the Cincinnat! man- agement, and Arlie Latham. In the pitcher's box the actor-player Breitenstein is still the king, with Hart, Donohue and Kis- singer as side lights. “Shorty” Fuller, for- merly of New York, has been signed by the St. Louis, but whether he will play in any of the Washington games has not yet been decided. The Senators should win all three games, and if they lose one there will be joy in cyclonic Mudville. Donohue will be in the box for the visitors today, and Mau] or German will try to do the trick for the home team. CHICAGO IN. ‘The Senators Gave Mercer Poor Sup- port. At least four times yesterday did the Washington base ball club thrust victory toward the Chicago club, and as many times did Capt. Anson and his men re- pudiate the offer, but finally, In the ninth inning, the big men wearing the white stockings hit the vall ‘safely three times and overcame a Jead of two runs and won out. Errors aid woefully stcpid play and base running lost the game, and in the presence, too, of about 8,000 spectatcrs, the largest audience gathered at National Park sinze the record-breaking opening day. The loss of the game may be directly at- tributed to a miserable error by De Mon- treville in the sixth inning. With two men out and a runner on first base, Everett sent up a high fly back of third base, and Washington's short stop stood under the ball and waited several moments for it to descend. Just as it dropped into his hands he made a move to execute a dance, and to the surprise of every cne the sphere fell to the ground. The next batter, Dah- len, promptly sent the ball into the right field bleachers for four bases, and three runs crossed the plate, which later proved sufficient to win out. Other misplays are charged against De Montreville, with one each chalked up against Joyce, Lush, Brown and Mercer. Pfeffer was the only visitor to err. Twice did Cartwright fool- ishly play off third base and get easily caught, wher it was a certainty that at least one run would have resulted had he played the game. Then he atempted to field a bunt, which Mercer was also try- ing to field, and left first base uncovered. Then there was a collision between Lush and Crooks on the right foul line, which cost two runs when a man shonid have been out. De Montreville at another time ran out into center fleld and balked Brown cn an easy fly. Capt. Joyce should institute a system by which collisions and interfer- ences may be avoided and drill his fielders into observing it. Uncle Anson introduced as his battery Friend and Kittridge, but when things were looking rather dubious in the sev- enth Kerry and Dailey were brought from the bench to do the pitching and catch: ing. Mercer and McGuire occupied the points for the home team throughout the game, and Win had his game won. The Colts touched him up for sixteen safe hits, including a home run and a two-bagger, but the hits were made mostly after chances had been given to retire the side. In view of the fact that Friend, the left- hander, would pitch for Chicago, Joyce changed his batting order, leading off with Selbach and playing Lush In right field. The blonde young man knocked out a home run, a three-bagger and a single. The game was uncertain till the last man was out in the ninth inning, being won and lost time and again. From the stand- point of an exhibition it was, to say the least, entertaining, and the spectators, most of the time, held their breath; as a demon- stration of scientific base ball work, it was lacking considerably, Washington led off in the first with one run, and Chicago went thrée better in the second. Washington tied the score in the third, and in the fourth Anson sent another man around. By scoring two in the fifth the home club took the lead, and increased it in the sixth to eight runs. Chicago went to the bat, and again the score was tied. In the seventh the big men worked in another run, but in the elghth Washington grew very ‘active. Three bases on balls, an error, a hit and a couple of flies netted four runs, and folks in the stand breathed easier than at any other time during the game. ‘The Chicago players sulked and took their time. Chicago approached dan- gerously close in its half of the eighth, and in the opening of the ninth inning the score was 12 to 11 in favor of Washington. The home team made it thirteen during the last turn at bat, but the number proved unlucky, and with two men out Anson sent the winning run across the plate by foro- ing Little Willie Lange at gecond. It came within an ace of being a aoubie lay, but Anson beat the ball to the bag iS about an inch. r It was twenty minutes of 8 when the spectators filed out of the park. The score: WASHINGTON.

Friend scored an earned run in the fourth and Pfeffer in the ninth, That's quite a race between Chicago, Brooklyn and Pittsburg.—Philadelphia In- quirer. And Washington! What's the mat- ter with the Senators? Philadelphia doesn’t deserve a winning team. The way the newspapers roast the players there 1s enough to take any one’s nerve. Bill Hasamaear 1s the star of the Atlan- tic Association, and is pleased with his berth o nthe Newark team. The Browns’ eastern trip is the most dis- astrous that Breltenstein ever encountered. Breit. is discouraged by the miserable sup- port given him at the bat and in the field. Chief of Umpires Betts of the Virginia League has resigned. He said he was abused by members of several teams, and the club managers when appealed to showed signs of dissatisfaction with his work. The latest base ball story is that a syndi- cate of New Yorkers are to buy the New York club from Freedman, then buy the Cleveland club, and, with Rusie, Tiernan and George Davis, keep the Clevelanders in New York, sending the remainder of both teams to Buffalo. President Freedman, according to a New York dispatch, refused to honor one of President N. EB. Young's silver passes in the hands of the actor, DeWolf Hopper, and compelled him to pay at the New York grounds last Monda: He also refused to admit Mrs. Frank Dwyer, wife of the Cin- cinnati pitcher. John T. Brush promptly directed Business Manager Bancroft to pay Mrs. Dwyer's admission fee. It 1s exasperating to think that yester- day's game would have resulted in a victory but for the little pop fly that De Montre- ville dropped. Any school boy could have caught it, and probably our lively short stop would not be guilty of such an error once in a season. The Senators did not take advantage of the luck that came their way in big chunks yesterday. Tye game was a fine gift to Anson’s gang. Cartwright usually shows good head work in running bases. But he was caught twice between third and home yesterday when there was no excuse. . Tom Brown made his error’yesterday be- cause he was in too big a hurry to throw the ball. He didn't have Lush’s excuse that the sun was in his eyes. The error of the latter was very excusable. He lost sight of the ball in the glowing sunlight, and ducked his head for fear it would strike him in the face. iow Rogers appeared fn a clean uniform yes- terday. ieee The field looked to be quite idea) after the rain of Tuesday. When the score Card official announced that Mercer would: pitch, the ladies ex- pressed their joy without hesitation. An- pon was also warmly greeted by the fair ‘ans. fe Oo It was a great catch that Brown made in the first inning. “Don’t mind :that,;Dutch, old boy,” is the latest phrase adopted by Mr. Rogers in addressing Mr. Sélbach from the coach line, when the latter is at the bat. Lush displayed umusual sprinting abilities on two occasions, yesterday. “What a pudd' Joytully. yelled .the bleaghers when, Anggn advanced to the bat. Jimmy Ryan , was unlucky. He was slightly injured several times. Like Selbach, Crooks its growing ca- prictous. There was a pronounced hiss from the girls when Mercer was declared out at the Plate by Keefe. It was a long and tiresome seance for Chicago in the eighth. A run was forced in by Terry through a base on balls. ‘When Weidman declared Mercer safe at third in the eighth the entire Chicago club, including Anson, threw their gloves in the air in disgust, while Selbach stood on his head at second bage. Crooks and Lush indulged in a heated argument after that collision back of the right foul line. It was Lush’s ball, but he should have yelled. Good work by Dahlen in the ninth on Joyce's drive shut out at least one run. “Mark my words,” said J. Earl Wagner yesterday, “the fans will all be tal iz their hats off to Billy Lush before many winds. choice for $ weeks pass into history, for, In my opinion, he is. cole to be the star outfielder of the league. It should be taken into considera- tion that right field on the Washington grounds is an awfully hard position to play, and after a man stands for some time with the sun beaming into his eyes it is not natural that he should bat well im- mediately thereafter. However, Lush is going to get over these drawbacks, Cape May’s Strong College Nine. ‘The manager of the Cape May ball team has secured the following players for the season: Highlands, Harvard, pitcher; Ritchie, U. of P., pitcher and right field; Nichols, Chicago University, pitcher and Clark, Chicago University, pitch- Scannell, Harvard, catcher; Draper, Williams, catcher; Dickinson, Harvard, first base; Rice, Pennsylvania State Col- lege, second base; Fletcher, Amherst, third base; Merrifield, Harvard, short stop; Ab- bott, Harvard, center field. HURT AT POLO. Hit With a Payne Whitney Mallet. From the New York World. The latest victim of polo is Harry Pay Whitney, eldest son of William C. Whitney. With “Ned” Potter in bed at his home at Westchester and young Whitney nursing a broken jaw at Newport, the dangers of the imported sport are apparent. Mr. Whitney had his accident last week down at Westbury, L. I, on the grounds of the Meadow Brook Hunt. The Whitneys some weeks ago closed their town house end took up quarters at Westbury. Both Whitney boys—Harry, the elder, and Payn the younger, who is at Yale—are polo en- thusiasts, and both have a string of polo ponies, high-spirited, nervous litle bea: One of Harry's cost $1,800. One efternoon Harry went over to the Meadow Brook grounds and started a game of polo. Among the players were the Eus- tis boys. Suddenly the ball shot out the middle of the field. Harry Whitne: almost upon it when young Eustis aim slashing blow at the sphere. He mi: and his heavy mallet, loaded with gave Whitney a crashing blow on the jaw. He was helped from the saddle, but said he was all right. Two days later Dr. Charles.

Manager McGunnigle had a Harry lead, talk with Manager Hanlon yesterday and tried herd to buy Short Stop Hugh Jennings. McGunnigle offered $10, for Jennings and later offered to throw in three of his play- long ers to boot. Mr. Hanlon laughed heartily at the idea of selling Jennings and assured McGunnigle that he would not think of such a thing. McGunnigle said that he was trying hard to strengthen his team.

For the first time in four years Lehigh defeated Pennsylvania at base ball at Franklin field, Philadelphia, yesterday af- ternoon. For five innings the Bethlehem- ites did not score a single run, and a vic- tory for the red and blue seemed assured.

All went well for Princeton for five innings, at which point Wilson threw his arm out of joint, and Easton was put in the box. The latter proved an easy mark, which fact, together with the loose work of the entire team, gave the Crimson an easy victory.

Granville Smith on His Way Boston to Washington, From the Philadelphia Press. At 12:80 o'clock, yesterday, a young man, badly tanned and freckled, and a trifle worn with travel, but with a bright and manly face and sparkling dark eyes, walked into the office of the Colonnade, ac- companied by a wheel, and wrote in a plain hand on the register “Granville Smith, Washington, D. C.” Casual conversation, on the part of the Press representative, brought out the fact that the young. man was twenty years of age, son of the late Judge Irwin Smith of Bt. Louis, Mo., and was on his way, by wheel, from Boston, Mass., where he is a student in the Institute of ‘Technology. He left for Washington, the home of his mother. “I mounted my wheel at my boarding place in Boston at daybreak Friday morn- ing last, and rode to Worcester, and thence southward until I reached Warren, a dis- tance of eighty miles, where I halted for From field, which, if not | AAR RAAAARAAAR ARR ARAB RARE Watchword.

The next day I accidentally broke the pedal of my mechine and only made fifty-three miles, reaching Hartford. A heavy rain having set in at that point, 1 took @ train to Bridgeport, from which point I rode the wheel to New York, a aistance of sixty-two miles.

If Il reach Washington in safety I shail have ridden my wheel a fraction over 2,40) miles during the twelve months I have owned it. According to schedule, I will, when my journey is ended, have covered 510 miles, between Boston and Washington. There were no incidents of travel worth of mention in my journey thither except that an angry negro threatened to break my skull with a stick of wood at Trenton, because I demurred against his clubbing a man. I reckon I deserved it for in- % o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Smith mounted his wheel, at the cor- ner of Walnut and Broad strepts, and re- sumed his journey. TO TRY IT AGAIN.

The bicy cle clubs and the ‘cycle dealers are arrang- ing for a joint meeting, at which some defi- | nite arrangements will be decided upon. Ac- cording to the proposed plan, a parade will be one of the features of the trip, and at the end of this the visiting whe-lmen will be divided into squads and taken charge of by the different Baltimore clubs, dinner be- ing taken at various places. “The monnu- mental city ‘cyclists are anxious to redeem | | | themselves, and intend doing this before | they will make a visit to this city.
