Fiom the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. Now and then a touch of the ludicrous enlivens the buttonholing and questioning. It is said that Mr. Lannon, a newspaper man who was gathering the opinions of colored delegates, tackled a black and cheerful-looking colored man in the eleva- ter at the Southern and said: “How is your state on the silver question?” “Dunno, sah,” said the colored man, looking a little it astonished. “I suppose,” sald Mr. Lan- nor, “that you will hardly favor the crue and inhuman wrong of a gold standard. The colored man shrugged his shoulders and snickered. “Dunno, sah; dunno noffin’ about them things, and don’t care, sah, neither.” “Why, what state are you from?” demanded Mr.’ Lannon. “Montana, sah. “Montana! Suffering soul of Tom Carter! What can this mean? Who js on the dele- gation with you?” “I ain’t on no fool dele- gation.

Mut the Bostonese Failed to Solve Maul’s Delivery. ‘The initial game of base ball of the season between Washington and Boston was play- ed yesterday at the hub. The Senators took kindly to the delivery of Mr. Stivetts, and easily won out. Al. Maul tossed the balls over the plate for the beaneaters to fan, and though the score shows ten hits on the Boston side of the sheet, they were scat- tered and of a lucky nature. The game was replete with star fielding, Bannon and Brown doing the best work in that line, pulling down several drives that looked good for one or more bases. McGuire threw well to bases and earned the applause of the multitude by repeatedly shutting off ambitious base runners. Wash- ington scored three runs in the first two in- nings, but Boston tied the score in the third. In the fifth, however, bases on balls to Brown and Joyce, a fly out by Abbey, a sin- gle by Selbach and a three-bagger by Cart- wright put the visitors four in the lead, and the result was then practically settled. 008 B10 | 70382 Durr 100106 v Collins -1000 -0 250 Crooks, 60061 DeMont. oe AO) 0107 + 8112715 1) Totals... 4102718 Washington. 21004100 0- Beston.... -00800001 Earned runs—Wasb1i Boston, bese hit—Hamflton. bach, Cartwright, DeMontreville, Tucker. base’ on balls.

The game embraged every phase of ball playing, but was exciting at times, especial- ly after the fifth frinthg. The District boys made eight, however, in the last two innings, and settled the con- test. Each team! used up three pitchers, and the hitting throighout was heavy. The Fert Myer team made a rally in the third and fourth innings, making thirteen runs and putting them ahead of the municipal aggregation, but after Johnson started in to pitch their run-getting was stopped.

Bane Ball Notes. Mercer and Nichols will probably do the pitching at Boston today. Jake Boyd pitched for Portsmouth y terday and won the game, Norfolk mak- ing but five hits, “Washington is at their heels.’—Phila- delphia Times. What's become of that sale-of-the-Cleve- land-club rumor? “Capt. Billy Joyce will find many old friends at the South End grounds during the next three games. Mercer, who has the best pitching record of the year, 1s with the Senators.”—Boston Globe. The fielding of Jim Collins is ahead of anything ever seen at third base. Jerry Denney, Joe Mulvey and Billy Nash were great, but never the equal of the modest Buffalo boy. Since Fred Pfeffer joined Chicago that club has won about two out of every three games. Anson has given his old lieutenant charge of the infield. The New York club has an eye on a few of the New England League players. Ball players who think only of salary day are not the real article for pennant teams. “Tom Brown, the fleet-footed Californian, the great favorite at the Congress street grounds for two years, and a man who gives tone to his profession, will be with ‘Se: py’ Joyce and his ‘phenoms.’ ’’"—Kos- ton Giobe. Teams are so evenly matched this year that the management or handling of a team counts more than ever. Teams should play the game up to date all the time. In less than two weeks Brooklyn has been shut out four times. The club needs hitters. Arlie Latham’s reign is over. He has been put on the bench by, Scranton, and Jack O'Brien, late of the Rochesters, put on third base, The Chicago captain says Willie Mer- ritt Is a better catcher than when he had him. Well, rather. Too many of the Philadelphia players are playing for individual records. Team work is entirely disregarded. Dad Clark pitches one good to three bad games. There is no certainty about his work, Pfeffer is playing with all his old-time brillianey. Somebody must have made a mistake about Pfeffer’s_condition.—Phila- delphia Inquirer. And Freedman was the somebody. Detroit is making big money this year In the Western League, $20,000 at least. Will Terry has sacrificed his mustache, and is trying to prove that he is only thirty-two years old in August. William Joined the Brooklyn club fourteen years ago. He knows the date well, for in July and August of that year he gained twenty- five pounds. “Washingtonians have never regarded the Phillies as quitters, but the visitors, with two or threé exceptions, created an impression to that effect by their listless work Monday,” says the Pittsburg Chron- icie Telegraph. This {3 not fair to our fielders nor to Mercer. ‘The latter pitched a great game, and the former fielded bril- liantly—De Montreville, in particular. Other teams may find the Phillies easy. Wash- ington did not. Supposing the Philadelphia management should spend $10,000 in buying two or three new men, they would more than make it up on the receipts in one day. A good outfielder, an infielder and a pitcher are needed.—Ex. Richards Cooley, the Browns’ left fielder, who was sent home sick from the east a few weeks ago, reported today at Sports- man Park in good condition. He will be sent on to Louisville at once to join the team. Ven der Ahe is doing everything in his power to keep the team out of last place. Topsey Lange got off a good one at Joe Kelley's expense in the recent Baltima scries. They were twitting, when Kelley called Lange a bundle of deceit, and added: “I'm glad I'm not two-fac “Well, you can't be,” retorted Lange; “I don't know what you'd do with another face tike that.” Ward, the Princeton player, who was to Join the Colonels in Cleveland, will not re- rort. The deal is off and the Colonels will continue to play as they stand. Ward mace a few demands that Manager McGunnigle would not concede, and hence he will re- main a Tiger instead of becoming a Colonel. Ward has been playing a great game at short for Princeton. McGunnigle thinks that he has the fast- est outfield in the league, and says that fans will agree with him’ when they see the Colonels play. Big Sam Thompson is not only hitting the ball hard, as usual, and continuing a ter- ror to all faint-hearted pitchers, but with- out any ostentation or noise he is covering a tremendous lot of territory in the Phillies’ right garden, including not only a large strip of foul territory, but about an acre of ground that naturally belongs to Center Fielder Hulen. Grounders are Thompson's weakness, but he is death to a high ball. There is another thing that Tebeau is delighted over, and that is the fine work of Cincinnati under the leadership of Buck Ewing. “Buck is a friend of mine,” says Pat, “and the better work the team under him does the more it will suit me. I am beginning to think that Cincinnati will be well up into it at the finish. The Reds, crippled as they are, have stood up well. Now every day {s improving their chances, for Rhines and Foreman are fast getting into condition to win games again.” “Bill Indian” Everett carries a cane now. Bill was lucky enough to carry his feet when he entered the league. What a con- trast one year after. Anson vows that more bases are stolen these days than five years ago, because the catchers are a poor lot of throwers. Some have strong arms, but are affected with slowness in getting the ball away. The old man declares that Buck Ewing used to toss the ball in front of the plate, give a man a chance to start and then throw him out without any trouble. These days no man can come near a play of this kind. THE BIG BIGYCLE PARADE. It is Proposed to Hold It on the Night of July 14. The parade committee of the League of American Wheelmen, which will have charge of the proposed demonstration, met last evening at the parlors of Mr. W. T. Robertson of 431 10th street. The meeting was called to outline a portion of the work to be done. A committee from the Chris- tian Endeavor Socfety,consisting of Messrs. Johnson, Muir and Orrison, was present. Mr. Johnson made a brief speech, in which he suggested the evening of Tuesday, July 14, as the most favorable time for the parade. Mr. Muir, who Is at the head of the subcommittce to entertain the visiting Endeavorers who bring their wheels with them, placed the number of visiting wheel- men at 2,000, a conservative estimate, he ht. "rhe date suggested struck the parade committee favorably, and it is probable that the event will be held on that day. The matter will not be decided, however, until the joint meeting of the ‘committee and delegations from various clubs in the city Monday evening. The parade com- mittee sent out invitations to the captains of the bicycle clubs of the city urging their co-operation. A committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Steele, Robertson and Jannus, to see the street railway presidents and’ re- quest that the cars be stopped for an hour and a haif>on the night of the parade. A suggestion was also made regarding the decoration of the wheels. In order to have @ certain degree of uniformity in appear- ance it was thought best to have each rider with two Chinese lanterns in front of him, fastened to a T-shaped arrangement, the base of which could be fastened to the head of the bicycle. Some idea of the greatness of the display can be gained from the fact that 10,000 participants are regarded as a conservative estimate. Counting six riders abreast there would be 1,000 wheelmen to the mile, making the length of the line ten miles. With only three men abreast, there would cnly be 500 men to the mile, which would make the line extend twenty miles, entire- ly too long a distance for convenience or pleasure to the spectators. DR. McDOWELL ARRIVES. The English Pleased With the Ameri- can Sculler. Dr. W. F. McDow of Chicago, the American oarsman who will compete in the race for the diamond sculls, has arrived at Henley, England, with his boat. It weighs only twenty-five pounds fully rigged, but without oars. Dr. MzDowell last year won the amateur championship of America from a field of the best scullers, at Saratoga. He broke the world’s record for one mile and a half, in 9.41 at the northwestern regatta, and is looked upon as likely to take away the diamond sculls from R. Guinne: 8, the Brit- ish champion, and to beat Guy and Vivian Nickalls, the most famous oarsmen in Eng- land. Dr. McDowell stands five feet eleven inches in his stockings, and has been in training for months past on Lake Simcoe, Ont., under the guidance of Jake Gaudaur. Soon after his arrival Dr. McDowell launched his boat and went over the course Several times at an easy clip. LONDO June 20,—Sporting Life says: “A surprise at Henley yesterday was the arrival of Dr. McDowell of Chicago. As socn as he arrived he busied himself with setting his boat ready. By 4 o'clock it was launched, but a few strokes showed that the rig was wrong, and he returned to the boat house, where it was altered. On the next attempt he went down the river to the lock. he doctor is a very neat sculler, and with @ little practice he would make as geod an Impression as Thompson did last year. One would have thought that a three or four-mile spin was enough for a traveler just after a week's voyage, but McDov, +l tock another trip down to the starting post and back. His appearance is very attractive.” English Criticinm of Yale. LONDON, June 20—The Field publishes advices from its correspond- ent at Henley saying that the past forty- eight hours have made a wonderful dif- ference in the Yale crew. “Since ‘ecing the work of Trinity Hall,” the correspond- today ent adds, “Bob Cook has lengthened the stroke of the American crew, and they are now doing twenty-eight, at which they send the boat along at a trem2ndous pace.” The Field correspondent also says that the American: y work is now much better, and he regards them as being a dangerous crew. The Pall Mall Gazette says: “Bob Cook has remodeled the Yale stroke. Instead of finishing on the perpendicular the rowers now go back almost as far as the English. During this morning's practice the stroke averaged thirty, and rarely went beyond thirty-three. It’ only fell to twenty-six, and the pace on the racing craft was greatly benefited by the alterations, and the oars cleared a lot_ of water at each stroke. E ley thinks the Yale wonderfully.” ‘The Field says of the American oarsmen: “The arrival of the Yale men has been anxiously looked forward to by all inter- ested in rowing, not owing to a preliminary flourish of trumpets, for they have been more modest than some of our visitors from forelgn parts, but on the reputation that Mr. Cook hat achieved of having taught them the English style of rowing. As soon as the Yale men were afloat, it was seen that their style was much the same as that of Cornell. Instead of long strokes and a powerful body swing, it was short and snatchy, and the work was done with the arms. Though there 1s some disappoint- ment that our crews will not have to con- tend with one which rows in what we con- sider the correct style, and which would, therefore, be more formidable opponents than Cornell, there 1s an undercurrent of satisfaction at the prospect of retaining the cup in this country. Though not for. lern, their first performance was in no wise a fair criterion of the capabilities of the crew, but It seemed unlikely that the gen. eral style would alter much as they settled down. “And so it proved. As yet, ved a trifle longer, but not sit in the boat, th very one at Hen- crew has improved they have much. As give an impression of great power, being very level and mus- cular. They do not seem the sort of men to break down altogether, especially as they have not trained rigidly on the teetotal sys- tem. In coming forward they turn the blades of their oars over the water much as Cornell did, thus taking it at an angle. “Their first stroke 1s usually slow and steady, but with the second they begin to bucket badly. Their oars take the water with little splashing, hut they do not come out quite clearly. “The blades, however. are beautifully level on the feather. Their bodies are absolutely n line without the slightest screwing. The men sit up well with their heads in the air. Their form is perfect, did they only finish the stro out. This, however, is very short, with positively no body swing. ‘AS soon as they are in a perpendicular position, they complete the stroke with their arms, never going beyond it, and they get thelr shoulders well back. They thus do not have the full power of the leg drive, nor do they thoroughly utilize their slide. They are well together in their own style, and are an excellent crew, probably better than Cornell, but at a snort distance they might be mistaken for the iatter. The re- semblance is further heightened by the cox- swain encouraging them in exactly the same tone of voice as the Cornells’, Most of their work 13 @ paddle of thirty-two strokes to the minute, at which they barely clear the water. “They have sometimes rowed as fast as thirty-eight, when they c: almost as much water as at the slower stroke. “It is difficult to account for their repu- tation of being taught to row long. Possi- bly, originally, Cook so instructed a crew, but they gradually and unconsciously drop. ped into the style they saw practiced around them. “The crew have made many friends at Henley by their quiet and unostentauous demeanor, and they are receiving hearty welcome from il sides, especially from the mayor as the representative of the lo- cality.” Muhoney Defeats Larned. LIVERPOOL, June 20.—At the Northern lawn tennis tournament championships yesterday Mahoney beat W. A. Larned, the American player, by 8-6, 2-6, 6-2, 8-6 and 6-3, in the final game. Larned, in the final round of the sin- gles, opened strongly and ran away from Mahoney in the first two sets in some- what easy style, but in the third set Ma- honey freshened and showed splendid tac- tics. Larned struggled gamely in the third and fourth sets, but Mahoney won through superior reach and wider ex: rience in tournaments, although Larned’s style was much admired, Old and Young Players to Meet.

Maher and Slavin were the attractions at Madison Square Garden, New York, Thursday night in a four-round bout. ‘The men went at it in a slap-bang fashion, and Maher showed that he was the cleverest boxer. He seemed to hit Slavin when and where he pleased. The big Australian was slow. The police cau- tioned the fighters that they would arrest the man who scored a knockout. In the third round Slavin was almost put to sleep with a couple of swings, and in the fourth the bout was stopped by the referee, the Australian being too groggy for business. QQ S——== zy CHAT OF THE WHEEL Promising Outlook for the Racing Season. COMING PARADE OF THE CYCLISTS Arranging for Night Contests at the International Track. GOSSIP OF THE CLUBS eae eS The outlook for a successful wheel racing season in this city 1s promising, and this is due to having a track upon which the sport can be carried on. The field day meet of the Morton Cadets is going on this after- eon, and the two bicycle events on the | ! program will be interesting. Outside of this meet there are two more local events, not including the two-days’ meet of the national circuit, which will end bere in October. The Queer Wheelmen race meet, which will come off July 4, is expected to arouse interest. One week from that date Company C of the Washing ton Light Infantry will have a field day which there will be several bicycle race On top of this comes the “gold meet” of the Arlington Wheelmen, and this race promises to be one of widespread interest. ‘The prizes will all be gold medals. Some of the medals are valued at $35, and grad ate down to $10 in value. Mr. B. F. Li comb, on behalf of the club, will visit the Mect at Cambridge, Md., July 3, and di tibute entry blanks among the Maryi. racers, Mr. William Gettinger will leav later for Philadelphia and New York, wh he will work in the interest of the mect. * oe * The interurban races will also prove to be an attractive card. The racing board of the Maryland division of the League of Amer- jean Wheelmen held a meeting Thursday evening to complete arrangements for the raccs, and a telegram forwarded to Man- ager McKean of the International Park re questing his presence. Mr. McKean was vnable to be present, but wired an engage- ment for Monday afternoon, and gave his views, which have been published substan- tally in The Star, with the exception that at he will urge a two-mile race for the teams, | or possibly longer, if a lap Mmit can be placed in order to insure fast time. By tablishing a certain time limit for lap, allowing so many points to the me who cross in regular order, the sum of these counting at the end of the race, a fast exhibition could be guaranteed. | A five-mile race could be held, as well as a two-mile race, and a brisk pace kept throughout, which would maintain the in- terest of the spectators, especially as the finish of every lap would be almost like the finish of a regular race. x** If all arrrangements are carried out there are likely to be several night races ai the International Park, and if they prove sue- cessful regular evening programs of some sort can he looked for. The management 1s now negotiating for the Hghting of the entire park with electric Ights, and some conclusion will be reached in a few days It is calculated that over 1 large ar. lights will be used to illuminate the grounds, making the place as light as day A Icng line of poles will be erected around the inside of the track at short interva so that a person in the grand stand can see the movements of the racers. The grend stand will he well lighted, and also the bleachers, as well as every section of the grounds. Another improvement at the park Is the completion of the artesian well, which has been worked on for some days. During the week a fine flow of excellent water was struck, and now plpes are being laid to carry the water to all parzs of the ground, furnishing drinking water to the patron as well as for sprinkling che track ¥ necessary. ~_* The proposed parade of wheelmen is ? ing carried on with a hump, and the bouin- ing of the affair 1s apt to make a big suc- cess of it, besides reflecting much credit upon the league. Out of the ten repiita- ble cycling clubs in the city, without a doubt all but one will turn out, and per- haps that club may turn out if the um bers change their present decision. The parade promises to be unique variety of ways, In point of numb will exceed any previous demonstration of the sort that has been held in the city, It has been a few years since @ bicycle parade has been held in the District, and the last one drew out a large crowd, in spite of fact that the entire turnout did not exc 10) cyclists. In this parade there were no Frizes offered for the best decorated wheel or anything else, yet without any ind ment there was a good turnout, considering the number of bicyclists in the city at the time, and the wheel decorations were unique. In the proposed parade there will be a number of prizes offered for decora- largest club turnout and similar ings, and this is calculated to be an in- centive for the cyclists to turn out in good! numbers. A conservative estimate place the number of riders in Ine the comin, parade at between 5,000) and 10,000. Since the local division of the league too! hold of the matter there has been consid- erable activity among clubs in the interest of the parade. The United Whe: n have indorsed the plan, and the Washington Road Club has not only done likewise, but has referred the matter to the entertain- ment committee to secure a good turnout and provide for suitable decorations. The ub will undoubtedly have a float in line, and a pretty one at that. The Queer Wheelmen have also taken to the matter with a spirit, and are now at work on some plen calculated to give the club a good ap- pearance in line. The Columbia Heights Wheelmen have also backed up the project, and will turn out a good representation with wheels, decorated in good style. The Miles Cycle Infantry have entered inio the matter with considerable interest, and they will not only turn out their full quota of uniformed men, but the ranks will be in- creased three or four times the present number by other members of the National bicycles, and who will par- stern Athletic Club is in favor of the parade, and the enterprising crganization in the East End can be count- ed upon as showing up in full numbers. | it ds calculated that forty mc ‘The other clubs of the city are also expect ed to fall in line, and at the meeting of the rarade committee, which will be held Mon- day evening at 431 10th street, delegations ere expected from all sources. The Columbia Athletic Club will hardiy turn out as an organization, though most likely most of the members will turn out as individuals. The Capital Bicycle Club is another organization that may not turn cut, although several of its members are heartily in favor of the project, and they will do all in their power to have the club make a good showing. * Oe OK There will be a bicycle meet and ball at the Takoma Springs Hotel next Saturday afternoon and night, in which considerable interest has been aroused. The arrange- ments are in charge of Mr. Frank B. Mar- tin, an euthusiastic wheelman, who is do- ing all he can to promote the success of the enterprise. It 1s expected that cards of in- vitation for the meet and run of the after- noon will be issued early next week. The run will be followed by a dinner or open-air luncheon, with @ grand ball at the hotel in the evening. It is proposed to have prizes for the most graceful and fetching rider of the fair sex, for the handsomest man in a bike suit, and for the most original costume for a bicycle ball. Mr. Eugene De Riva, a well-known wheelman, will have charge of the decorations and arrangements of the ball r20m suitable to the occasion. The line of march and the run will be an- nounced later. The cards of invitation can be secured at the hotel by proper parties. All riders and their best girls are cordiaily invited to help make the occasion a merry one. Ladies must _be accompanted, of course, by escorts. This is designed to be a social event of the bicycling world, and will arouse a good deal of enthusiasm among the wheelmen, being a most enjo: ble way of spending a warm summer's evening. x ok Ok Chief Consul W. T. Robertson resigned from the Washington Road Club at its meeting Wednesday. Mr. Robertson has been president of the Road Club for some time, and kas Gone much to make the ciul a reprasentative body of wheelmen. His resignation, according to his letter, is caused by the fact that there was some objection by the club members to the use of the club rooms for a meeting of the League of American Wheelmen. The pres- ident claimed the right to extend the use of the club rooms for the purpose without the consent of the club, and this was ex- cepted to by several members on the ground that their new quarters had not been secured permanently and that the club should have the pleasure of holding the first meeting in the rooms. At the same meeting of the club Mr. R. R. Revill, the secretary of the club, re- signed his office because of the lack of time to properly attend to the duties. * * * The Harlem Wheelmen of Baltimore will make a century run to this city tomorrow.
