Work of the Clubs During the Recent Series. CURRENT SPORTING ee NEWS The Evening Star championship trophy was this morning turned over to the Ath- letic team of the Central High School by Mr. Rudolph Kauffmann on behalf of The Evening Star Newspaper Company. The presentation was made in the office of the principal, in the presence of the partici- pants in the contests recently held under the auspices of the High School Athletic Association. The team is to hold the trophy until the opening of the next school year, when ti will be formally presented to the Central High School. After a few words from Dr. F. R. Lane, the director of the High School, Mr. Kauff- man was introduced. In presenting the cup he took’ occasion to commend the young men for past work, and encouraged them in their future athletic pursuits. Capt. Ruff, for the athletic association, accepted the trophy, and extended the thanks of the organization. It was later placed on exhi- bition in the main corridor of the building, and admired by the entire school. Mr. Philip Tindall, chairman of the Ath- letie Association, after the presentation, awarded gold medals as first prizes in the contests to George Curtiss for the pole vault, 290-yards hurdle race and the run- ning high jump; Harry Ruff, 220-vards dash and quarter-mile run; W. G. Stuart, mile and half mile runs; Hyder Farrow, running broad jump; Wade L. Jolly, 100-yards dash, and N. Underwood, shot-putting contest, heretofore awarded ‘to Dumars for throw- ing farthest in the finals. Silver medals were awarded us second prizes to Phil. Tindall, 200-yards dash and quarter-mile run; Herbert Marean, pole vault; Dumars, putting the shot, and J. Underwood, 220-yards hurdle. A gold medal was also presented to Weaver of the Eastern School for winning the two-mile bicycle race. Two silver medals were awarded to Hal.

The much roasted Philadelphia base ball club is scheduled to appear at National Park this afternoon to afford some amuse- ment for the Washington club and the spectators. It is the initial apearance of the Phillies here this season, and as there are many old Washington favorites in the ranks, a warm welcome will undoubtedly be accorded the visitors. That fact, how- ever, will not deter the fans from rooting for three straight victories. The Phillies will look strange without Arthur Irwin on the coach lines, but in his place as cap- tain-manager will be seen a vastly superior man, Billy Nash, the former captain and third baseman of the Postors. Joe Sulll- van, short stop for Washington in 1593, appears in the outfield, and according to Philadelphia computation, he leads the center fielders of the league. Dan Brouth- ers on first base and Sam Thompson in right field were members of the famous Detroit champions. Hallman at second base and Cross at short are old Philadel- phia players with records, while Hulen in the outlield ig a promising new man, brought from California by Nash. Outside of Lucid, formerly with Brooklyn, the bat- teries of the Phillies include Taylor and Grady, Carsey and Clements, McGili, Orth and Boyle, most of them members of the club for several years. ADVICE TO PHILADELPHIA, Give the Team Encouragement Rather Than a Roast. If there was ever a team unjustly roasted, ft {s the Philadelphia team. One would suppose from the ravings of the Philadel- phia papers that it had not won a game from the western clubs, when, as a matter of fact, it has increased its percentage .050. Nash has done better with the Philadel- phias than Irwin did last year, and he has just the same material, with one or two exceptions. Nash has introduced team work, which was never practiced under Ir- win, and, until several members of the team were disabled, the team led the league. But the absence of Nash, Hallman, Cross and Clements, owing to injuries re- ceived, was such a big hole that a drop was to be expected. ‘The Philadelphia tnechees in roasting their club for not making more hits would be more just if they gave credit to the skill of the opposing pitchers. it was not weak hitting that lost Saturday's game for Philadelphia, it was Frazer's re- markebly fine pitching. It 1s suspected that powers higher than Nash are interfer- ing in the management. ‘That will kill any club's prospects, To an outsider the Phil delphia club looks all right. Let ‘em alone, or, better still, give them some encourage- ment, and they will be in the ‘Temple cup series, Work of the Eastern Clubs.

From the present outlook Cleveland will fight for first place, with but little help from the other western clubs. Arlie Latham hasbeen eppointed captain of the Scranton team of the Eastern League. Six players of the,Pittsburg team—Smith, Sterzel, Ely, Donevan, Bierbauer and Beck- ley—have taken part in every game played this season. bets George Miller ig ,tooting his calliope for Ererson Hawley,, jho, from the calliope’s point of view, is the best pitcher in the league. ‘ Pebble Jack Glidscock is covering first base for St. Paul '4¥’ naturally as if he had spent the major portion of his base ball ex- istenco on it. Old Jim Davi¥; who played third for Washington in the" old association, is re- ceiving 310 a day’ a& official caller at Von der Ahe's St. Loujs race track. “No team ever played more ball than my old team,” says Anson. “I-like my present team, but it has not the fine team work we had in the days of Kelly, Williamson and Burns.” | This compliment to the world- beaters from Chicago of ten years ago was natural from their old captain, and others believe as Anson, Anson thinks McCormick, the youngster he picked up to play second base, is going to be one of the comirg infielders of the league, but while Pfeffer lasts Anson will let Fred play the second bag and giye Me- Cormick a place on the bench. Third Baseman McGraw of the Baltimore club Is said to be rapidly improving in gen- eral health, Red Ehret revenged himself on the Bos- tonians Saturday for their treatment of his curves on Friday, when he was batted out of the box. He pitched a remarkable game Saturday. One run and three hits was all Boston could get. The Pittsburgs made it three straight from New York Saturday, playing an up- hill game, and winning in the last inning. Pink Hawley was batted out of the box in the third inning and was succeeded by Hughey. The Louisvilles have at last gotten out of that “nine hole” by winning from the Phillies on Saturday. The Kentuckians played good ball in Philadelphia. They largely outbatted the hard-hitting Phillies and made an equal number of runs in the serles, yet lost two of the three games. The beautiful uncertainties of the na- tional game were illustrated by Brooklyn taking three straight from Cleveland, while the Phillies lost three straight and the Orioles two out of three to Tebeau’s men; also by the fact that the Orloles won three straight from Cincinnati and yet could win but one from Chicago. Pitcher Otis C. Stocksdale, formerly of Washington, is doing good work for Peters- burg in the Virginia League. He shut out the strong Lynchburg club, the leaders, Saturday. The Louisville club is to have a new shortstop—Ward, the second baseman of the Princeton College team. Cincinrati’s members of the rooters’ league have enthused over the work of the crippled Reds in the east, and the team will receive a remarkable welcome home Monday morning.—New York Sun. Marager Irwin has decided to lay off Harry Davis, and Tommy Bannon will play left field, beginning today. Saturday’s College Contests. At Manhattan Field, N. Y.—Yale, 8; Princeton, 4.

The captain of the Eastern High School base ball team writes as follows to The Star: “A game was arranged between the Eastern and Central High Schools, to have been played Saturday at 11 o'clock at Ar- senal Park,but owing to the non appearance of the Centrals the game was forfeited to the Easterns. The Easterns waited for more than an hour for the Central team. Unless a game con be played immediately, the Eastern High School will claim the right cf championship over the other high schools. Agreements to play existed with the Business, but for some ungiven rea- won they never gave us 4 game. If a team exists at the Wesiern, we would be pleaszd to play with them, but otherwise we will lay claim to the championship. “Respectfully, “M. HAND, Captain E. H. 8.” Shamrocks Deteat Mile Limits. The Shamrocks defeated the Mile Limits at Silver Springs yesterday in a finely Played game by the score of 5 to 4. The features of the game were the masterly pitching of Norcom, who struck out eleven of the Mile Limits tn seven innings, and allowed them only four hits;the catching of Handiboe, the fielding of Costello and Nixon and Handiboe’s three-base hit with the bases full.

After the meeting the board of governors went into session and elected nearly 80 new mem- bers out of 400 applications filed, This wili increase the revenues of the club to a much higher figure than has been the case in the past. A resolution providing for the return of John Crossizy as the physical director of the club was re ceived enthusiastically, and it is prob able that he will be returned to his old position, An informal smoker, un- der the direction of Bert Riddle and Ed. Thompson, was held immediately after the meeting of the club. High School Team Not Eligible. W. G. Stuart of the Ceniral High School Athletic team, who wrote last week to the Interscholastic Athletic Association regard- ing entries to their games next Saturday at Columbia Oval, New York, received a reply today that the constitution of the association restricts entries to members of an association composed of at least two schools. The Central High School boys are, therefore, not eligible. Next year it is hoped that a permanent organization will be effected between the four schools, when the boys will endeavor to send a large rep- vesentation to the meet.

Irvin Ford, the murderer of Elsie Kreglo, sentenced to be hanged the 26th of thi month at the District pail, is resigned! awaiting his end. Conscious that there no way of escaping the punishment, the man calmly, and even patiently, looks for- | ward to the day set for his execution as 2 | release from suffering. His only visitors are his counsel, Messrs. Arthur Peter and R. Newton Donaldson; his spiritual ad- viser, the Rey. John Roberts, and his wife and child. From their visits he receives much consolation and satisfaction. He ap- pears to have but two thoughts—the wel- fare cf his wife and child and that of his | life beyond the grave. | Unable to read, Ford depends upon his clerical visitor for all religious consolation, and greatly enjoys his visits, the minister reading te him and praying with him da: ‘The murderer professes to feel that he has or will be forgiven, and that he will cour ageously mect his fate. Yet, despite the man's professions and the fact that he is a veritable physical giant, the jail offi are somewhat apprehensive that he will, when the hour comes, wecken to an alarm. ing degree, for they believe that after ail the brute is a coward and wiil go to his death in a cowardly manner. Shortly after his trial the man’s appetite visibly failed, and it was feared that he would break down completely. But in a few days his animal spirits revived to such an extent that he regained his appetite and has ever since then greatly enjoyed the extra bill of fare invariably allowed con- demned men by the prison officials. He has very little to say and particularly avoids conversing about his crime. _ There has been a great demand upon Warden Leonard for tickets of admission to the execution of Ford, but the warden will strictly obey the law respecting the matter, and the rumber of those who will witness the hanging will be limited to thos3 authorized to be pres by law. At the last execution in the District jail, the num- ber of spectators was about thirty in all, and Mr. Leonard is determined that the number of these present at Ford's depart- ure shall not exceed that number, if, in- deed, he does not keep it below that figure. Therefore, it is useless for people to apply for admission, explained the warden to a Star reporter today. ee MURDERED EACH OTHER. Two Alabama P. cians Battle Like Hyenas and Both Die in an Hour. Mourse Jackson and J. W. Vest, two prominent populist politicians of Alabama, had an affray at Hartselle, Ala., Satur- day night, which resulted in the death of both. Jackson was in Vest’s saloon at Hartselle with a companion. Their discus- sion of political matters offended Vest, who was also drinking, and wound up in his or- dering the men out of his place. He follow- 4 them into the street and the quarrel | between him and Jackson was renewed. Finally Jackson drew a knife and Vest a pistol and the two went for one another like hyenas. Jackson was shot through the body and the thigh and in the chest and back. Vest was cut in the body in several places. Both men finally fell to the ground exhausted from loss of blood and both ate an hour afterward. Jackson leaves a wife and ten children and Vest a wife and six children, +0 The Republic Sold.
