Mrs. Stowe’s Hartford Home. “At the patriarchal age of eighty-five,” writes Richard Burtcn im the Ladies’ Home Journal, of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, “this woman, this great writer and famed American, is quietly spending the evening of her life in Hartford’s literary corner. In the pleasant western part of the town, known as Asylum Hill, the most popular section for residences of the better sort, is situated Forest street, shcrt and beautl- fully tree-lined, running off south at right angles from the stately Farmington ave- nue. A few steps down, the third house on the right 1s a pretty brick cottage of moderate size, painted gray, and attractive by reason of its well-kept lawn, its flower beds and trees. Here Mrs. Stowe has lived with her two daughters for more than twenty years, moving thither in 1873 from a@ larger hcuse near by, which she built and cccupied until driven from it by the in- roads of business. Forest street 1s true to its name, for as cne passes along it great trees and ample grounds with no fences and a general effect of unspoiled nature come into view. The contiguous estates of Charles Dudley Warner and his brother, George, emhrace several acres of land; the picturesque houses stand far back from the sidewalk; squirrel play boldly up and down the chestnut boles, and the wood- pecker and robin rejoice in the green herb- age. The former's land touches that of Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens), whose large, many-gabled house faces on Farm- ington avenue, just around the corner.” —_+0+_____ Public Golf Links Talked of at Boston From the New York Sun. ‘The park commissioners of Boston are considering the advisability of establishing & public golf course at FranklifPark. At the meeting of the board Monday it was decided to have a part of the park sur- veyed to see if the scheme to establish links is practicable. Members of golf clubs who have been consulted about the matter favor the establishment of public links, and are inclined to think that such action’ will tend to increase the memebership of golf clubs in this vicinity. or Made a Mile in Fifty-Two Seconds.

PRESIDENT YOUNG UPHOLDS LYNCH Washington Club Up With the Leaders as Regards Team Batting. NOTES AND COMMENTS The recent trip of the Washington club to Boston ard New Ycrk brought about two very important events. The first was the winning of two games out of three’ from the Beaneaters, and the second was the acknowledgment by 0. P. Caylor, the erratic but brilliant base ball writer of the New York Herald, that the Senators can play good ball. Never in the history of base ball has a Washington team been able to win twc games of a series from Boston on the latter’s grounds, and, in fact, the Senators were considered ex- tremely lucky if one game was secured, either in Washington or Boston. But this year all things have changed in regard to Washington, and there is not a club in the league thet has the “hunch” on the Sena- tors, whether at home or abroad. In O. P. Caylor’s case, the Senators have helped him out time after time when he wanted tc say something particularly fun- ny or sarcastic, and his concession last Wednesday, after the heartbreaking finish in Tuesday's game, that the Washington boys “were putting up as good a game as any club in the leagu is praise indeed. At the opening of the season, when the Senators “soaked” the Giants two games out of three, Caylor apolegized for his team by ssying that the Washington boys were playing in extremely good luck, In- stead of acknowledging that the New York club was lhicky in getting the one game. Caylor’s reputation extends from the At- lantic to the Pacific in base ball circles, and an opinion from such a source weighs a ton. Although only two games out of four were placed to the credit of the Senators on the trip, that is an average of .500, and ranks a. first-class. The New York team has played erratic ball all season, and when in a winning streak can win from any club. The Washington club struck one of these streaks last Tuesday. We might have won the last two games, but then again we rnight have lost, and the rain should be placed on our side, as by not playing our position in fifth place was strengthered, as the clubs under us were getting trounced good end hard. Luck ts a big factor in base ball, and as it probably enabled us to retain a good position in the race,.all the local enthusiasts should rest content. ‘The latest base ball averages show that the Senators have lost one of their men from the .300 or better class, the unlucky player beirg the fleet-footed Tom Brown. But he is only two points outside the breastwork, his average being .208. But for this little slump the Senators would be sharing honors with the Clevelands as leaders of the league in batting. The Spid- ers have seven players who have an aver- age of over .300. Washington, Philadelphia and Pittsburg have six. Cincinnati, Brook- lyn, New York and Baltimore have five, Chicago four and Boston and Louisville three. Poor St. Louis has not one player who is batting over .300. This record speaks wonders. All the leaders are hitting the ball except Boston, and hitting tells every time. In fielding the Senators are only ahead of St. Louis and Louisville. But, then, nobody ever claimed the Sen- ators were great fielders. They play ‘o- gether, and go after everything, and con- sequently errors pile up rapidly. Selbach leads off in batting, with .344, but old, re- Mable McGuire is right on his heels, with .838, Then comes Captain Joyce, with .335, being tled with Stenzel of Pittsburg. The next man to show is little DeMontreville, who, the ladies claim, is too small to hit the ball hard, but he has an average of .314 and is ahead of such sluggers as Thomp- son, Childs, Duffy and Cooley. Our great pitcher, Win Mercer, is not far away, with an average of .311, and Dwyer and Wilson are the only two pitchers that rank above him in stick work. Big Ed. Cartwright is just over the line, with .302, but only four other first basemen in the league are ahead of him, and yet they say Edward can’t hit. Brown is next, with .298. Then comes a big drop to Crooks, whose averige is .265, yet he is outbatting “Buck” Ewing, “Li ’ Cross and “Tom” McCarthy. Mc- Cauley, although out of a great many games just at the time he was beginning to get his eye on the ball, has an average of .259, and bound to go higher. ‘“‘Jimm; Rogers has .256, and this bright boy will also do better if he ever gets back into the game. Abbey and Lush are having a reck and neck race as to who shall lead. The former has .228 chalked up to his credit and the latter .227, so it can be seen there 1s Uttle to choose between them as to lacing the ball. The remainder of the Sen- ators have not played enough games to get a record, although Maul should be pretty near the limit. Burkett is now lead- ing the league, with .429, and “Dusty” Miller is second, with .404. Jennings leads the Orioles, with .401. McCreary, the Washington boy, leads Louisville, with .386. Dahlen leads Chicago, delphia, .381. Tiernan, Smith, Pittsburg, .351. 51. Hamilton, Boston, St. Louis, .299. ‘The Philadelphia management Js to blame for all the trouble in the club that rep- resents the Quaker city. Last season a clear profit of over $100,000 was registered, yet they put up an ordinary bath house and charged the players $30 for the use of it during the season. Then Grady, who Is acknowledged to be one of the finest hit- ters, fielders and hustlers in the business, is paid $1,800 for the season’s work, while Jack Hoyle, who is not in his class at any stage of the game, is paid about $2,200. The management 1s doing right in get- ung rid of McGill, Turner and Sullivan, but here the releasing should stop. What the club needs is a new outfielder, a first- class pitcher and, above all, an ail-around good jolly. But the latter requirement will neyer be forthcoming from the Philadel- phia management, as they don't understand the slang phrase and are continually put- ling forward the business part of the game. Imagine Earl Wagner in charge of that aggregation. Would it cost the players $30 to bathe? Would the men be kicking about salaries with such profits in sight? Would libel sults be talked about? Would that jolly sécond baseman and will- ing short stop play a don’t-care game? Not a bit of it. There is no class of people that like to be jollied more than ball players, and a good jolly would do for the Phillies what an electric battery does for worn-out race horses. The idea of letting men like Delehanty, Cross, Hallman, Clements or Thompson go uway from Philadelphia is ridiculous. Taere are no better men in the league playing the same positions. It is simply a case of interpreting the word “business” by the players with the same cold heart as the management. They are cut fcr the “dust,” just like thelr employ- ers, and cannot be expected to warm up to their work when such a cold-blooded ex- ample is set before them. Eradicate the word “business” and play ball. President Young is to be congratulated upon the stand he has taken in the quarrel last week between Umpire Lynch and Cap- tain-manager Tebeau. It {s a hard matter to get a true staterrent of the disgraceful scene from the Cleveland papers, as they are biased to a ridiculous degree, so much, in fact, that one not acquainted with Te- beau and his tactics would imagine that Lynch was solely to blame. No matter what statement is given out it is safe to get on the side opposite that of Tebeau to be in the right. Lynch. has proven him- self to be the king of umpires this season simply because he has allowed none of tho layers, with the exception of the cap- Ratan to question his decisions, and then but few words from the latter. The idea that the Cleveland papers seem to gloat Over the most is that such a little fellow as Lynch should think of fighting Tebeau. Of course Cleveland’s captain has the ad+ vantage of height and weight, but it is no two to one bet that the plucky little umpire would get the worst of a four- round bout. Lynch is an athlete of the Tim Hurst stripe, and had the latter been in the former’s place the chances are that New York, a BID. Jones, Brooklyn, .345, and Parrot, Tebeau would have had to fight Ph, apolo~ Fz, as Tim would haye followed him up, synch regained his head as soon 1S Was off the grounds, and in this showed his su- perlority over other umpire. | Ti either gets what : ke wants or a good lick- ing before he quits,, Immediately after the rumpus in Clevelayjd-Umpire Lynch tele- graphed to Presidept Young. as-follows: “Do I go to Chicdse_or home?” President Young fmmediately wired back that he should go to Chicago, and to per- sonal friends laugheg at the idea of re- leasing Lynch. dy knows the two men concerned ler than President Young, and it only k Kim about half a second to decide who, was in the wrong. The impressive s table of Secretary Rob- ison of the Cle: Lynch's removal ‘ig: Kipling or the bru: One thing that shold be taken into con- sideration is the fact that whenever these disgraceful scenege: ir on the ball fleld it is a foregone ccnelusion that either Cleveland or Baltimore is sure to figure prominently in the mix-up. Anson, the Chegterfield of the national game, also forgot himself last week at Chicago under the fire of billingsgate from Catcher Peitz of the Cincinnati club, and but for interference one of the parties con- cerned would have got hurt. It’s a safe bet that the “White-haired Swede’ would not have been the man. The little scrap was the ratural outccme of a very bad practice on the ball field of trying to rattle opposing players by applyirg epithets to them. It is all meant in a good-natured Way, of course, but many a truth is spoken in Jest, and sometimes between the words of wit and raillery there is one which stings the hearer to the quick. There is a great deal of talk on the ball field which would shock the average spectator if the breeze wafted the words into the grand stend. Take any game when the catcher and um- pire aré close behind the bat and the.scare a tle, or nearly so. There is a constant runaing of sarcastic remarks between the batsman andthe catcher, and not infre- quently the umpire joins in. It is a too common habit to indulge in epithets which could never be reproduced in a newspaper. Sometimes, when a catcher is quick witted and sharp tongued enough, he prevents the batsiaan from making a hit. Sometimes from the coaching lines words which never Teach the spectators serve to rattle a Pitcher. But is it a good practice? Wouldn't the game be a little better without it? Bal- timore and Cleveland, and perhaps Wash- ington, would answer these two questions in the affirmative and negative, respective- ly, but the remainder of the league cities would take the opposite course. As long as the spectators do not hear what is g0- ing on between the players, it makes little difference as long as the home team wins, and over in Baltimore the cry, “Hit him with an ax” is often heard from the en- thusiastic bleachers, yet it 1s all intended as humor, and is mainly taken as such. Cleveland is the main offender in this line, but our own Capt. Joyce “knows a thing or two” in the same line, a fact which Pitcher Hawley will testify to. Off the field every- thing is forgotten and forgiven by the players. A iunny sight in a Chinese laundry on 11th street Is to see the boss of the ranch rigged out with a “Win” Mercer button. A local fan pinned it on Sam Wah’s breast and told him to “root” for the Senators, and although he doesn’t know what that i the good-hearted Chinee says he will do If Philadelphia is stuck on young blood, how would a trade of Abbey, Lush and McJames do for Delehanty? If Earl Wag- ner was pushed he might make this rade. With Delehanty in center, Brown in right and Selbach in left we wouldn’t Jo a thing to them. And perhaps “Del” wouldn’t like to play with Joyce. Keep your eye on that Chicago club. It seems to have taken a new lease on Ife since Pfeffer joined. It gets about thirty- five straight games at home in July and August, and it is dollars to peanuts that the first division will see it before ihe month of July is out. Twelve thousand. five hundred dollars ts a big sum of money, but Mr. Wagner 13 game, and will stick to his proposition to give that amount for Rusie. To say that the big Hoosier has seen his best days is all bosh. He is a young man yet, and good for ten years, and, with him pitching for Washingvon, a 1-2-3 position would be as- sured. What the “fans” want in Washington now is a Joyce button. Everybody has “Bill's” name on their lips, and his good Management 1s praised to the skies. The Mercer button sold like hot cakes, but a Joyce button would be gobbled up like free diamonds. ‘The first four rows in the grand stand will be reserved in the future on Ladies’ cay for ladies with male escorts. This is only fair to the gentlemen who pay their way, and also to Mr. Wagner. Every seat in the grand stand {s a good one, but the first four rows are considered siightly bet- ter. No kick of any kind came from the ladies on the new rule, as they recognize the fact that Mr. Wagner has treated them “gorgeously,” as one of them put it. It would make it interesting reading just now to read the criticisms of the Cincin- nati club made by nearly every ve paper in the country last May. ‘The Reds have fooled them all, and if the pitchers keep up their present gait they will have a look-in for the pennant. Why doesn’t Conny Mack go in behind the bat regular, if he wants his team to win? He certainly can stand the pace, end his headwork would help out the pitchers to a wonderful extent. The Pittsburg catchers are good players, but lack brains. If some’ df the clubs do not stop Balti- more and, CJeveland pretty soon they will have the race all to themselves. The gap between these two clubs“and thé third club is getting wider and wider every day. The Senators can’t do all the “pennant killing” themselves, and Chicago, Brook- lyn and Boston should help out. Captain Tebeau tried the same tactics on Weidman in Tuesday's game that he sought to palm off on Lynch, and won. The Pitts- burg players say Weldman was scare to death, and gave the “Spiders” the hest of everything in sight. : Norcom, the Washington hoy, “who has done brilliant work in the pitcher's box for the Shamrocks of the City League, pitched and won his first game for the Petersburg, Va., club last Thursday. The hard-hitting Roanoke team were the vic- tims, but seven safe hits falling to their lot. If this thing keeps up, Washington talent will be in great demand next sea- son. If President Young gets hard up for um- Pires there is a bright boy right here in Washington that can help him out if he can be persuaded to handle the indicator regularly. If ever there was a man cut out for the position, both as to physical training and mex.tal ability, Johnny Heyd- ler is the man. In the games Heydler has umpired, both in this city and Baltimore, high praise was accorded him, and when commendation comes from the oyster city it is a safe guess to make that his work was first-class, BEFORE THE FALL. A Pleasing Baltimore Prospect That Struck a Snag. From the Baltimore News, yesterday. Yesterday noon the Quaker magnates looked over their damp-infested batliwick with fleld glasses, and decided that the grounds were unfit for tramplification, so the Bird young men hailed an express train, boarded it and came home. It seems too bad that the champions were not permitted to surround the last re- maining portion of Philiopumpkin pie that lay almost within;reach of their forks, or knives or spoons,~cr*tvhatever the Bird young men eat ple’'witl) But the weather bureau conspired . against any further indulgence in the;,luxuries of the season, consequently the,,Orioles will have to come down to a ,old-gorned-beef repast in Washington teday.,Captain Scrapibus Joyce and his filijustening lobbyites have been scurrying athwart these glorious United States like,a lot of free silverites hunting for gold .bugs,,with a scoop net, and if these Senatorial. castaways can do to the champions:.all the dreadful things they have in view crepe will cover that portion of the western hemisphere known us Union Park tq the,depth of seventy- three feet. The Orioles will not have a blue-skyed, balmy-frcezed, un-antlike sort of a picnic with @ fire-eating Senators such as was enjoyed with the Quaker young men. The I-rise-to-a-point-of-order folks are playing base ball with all the earnestness of purpose that characterizes the actions,of a band of Fiji Society swells, engaged in chasing a missionary across country as the crow flies, and Captain Fitz- simmons-Corbett-Sharkey-Scrapafew Joyce has sworn a terrible oath to make the Birdies wish they had never been brought into this world of woe and sorrow. Meanwhile the insect fraternity jags smil- ingly on to victory piled on victory. Rain does not come to dampen their ardor or their bloomers, but of easy things they have a heaping plentitude. Another game won by Cleveland and one lost by the champions will put the former up on their top rail again; therefore, let us root—now, one, two, three, go! ———— The plocery at the Hargrave Mill No. 2, Fall River, Mass., stayed out to see a circus parade.

The Orioles Were Easy Birds to Catch Yesterday. Baltimore was such an easy. problem for the Statesmen to solve yesterday that it seemed remarkable that Hanlon’s men should have been leading the league, while Joyce’s men have only just crawled into fifth place. The Washington players out- classed their guests in every department The hitting of the home team was some- thing worth traveling miles to see. It was not terrifically hard, but it was scientific, clean and productive of results. With one exception, every nit counted in the run getting, and that exception was one of those odd freaks that marks base ball as the greatest game on earth. It rained steadily during three innings, and it was the general fear that there would be no game. Umpire Hurst, how- ever, made the men play on, despite the shower, and his patience was rewarded by the breaking of the clouds shortly after 5 o'clock. It was ladies’ day, and the grand- stand was literally packed with beauty. Every seat under cover was taken, while the bleachers were crowded with the faith- ful ones. It was one of the largest and best-pleased crowds of the season, and was a splendid object lesson to illustrate the value of a winning team like that which is just now keeping the best clubs in the ousiness guessing. Joyce was the hero of the day with his two home-run hits. He has made a record for local base ball by hitting out four homers tn a week—two in Boston in one game and two here. His fielding, too, was all that could be desired, as he took all of his five chances in fine style. Maul started in to pitch for Washington, greatly to the Joy of that contingent of the ladies who believe in the smiling twirler. It was raining so hard, lowever, that he found he could not control the ball, and after he had hit Jernings in the first in- ning he gave way to German, who finished the inning. To the surprise of all King went to bat in the second in place of G man, and the silver-haired veteran pitched the game out in his own masterly style. Wit perfect support he would have let the Baltiinoreans out with only one run. Joyce sent his men to bat first, following his old custom. Tom Brown lined out a pretty single to left, hitting the second ball pitched, and Joyce found the first one that McMahon fed him good enough to put over the right field fence. Thus two runs were tallied for Washington within three min- utes of the start, and with cnly three balls pitched. When Baltimore came in to bat the champions tried to delay the game in the hope of a postponement, but Hurst was cleverly alive to their tricks and forced them to play ball smartly. Jennings had two strikes called on him while wiping off his bat handle, and fhen deliberately plac- ed himself in the way of the ball. Hurst, however, would not allow him to take his base. He was later hit genuinely, and died on first, as the third hand went out in a moment. In the second inning Baltimore scored one, with two men out, on a two-bagger to left by Donnelly and a single over De Mon- treville’s head by Robinson. The locals more than evened up for this in the third, however, by tallying twice, on bases on balls to Brown and Joyce, an error by Robinson !n throwing to second to catch Brown, a hit to left by Selbach, a sacrifice by Lush and a fly-out to left by Cart- wright. It was as clever an exhibition of team work in batting as has been seen here this season. The Orioles were blanked in their half, and in the fourth, with one out, De Montreville and King lined out corking singles and Brown flied out to left, scoring “Genie.” The vigitors tallied also in this inning. With two men out, Brodie hit a deep, hot one to De Montreville, who fumbled, and then Donnelly drove out a three-base hit to left center. Robinson flied ovt to Selbach. Nothing was done in the fifth, although each side got a man on first. In the sixth the Senators drew another brace of runs. Crooks bunted safely to McMahon, and was forced by De Montreville. King sent him along by taking first on balls, and a passed ball put De Montreville on third. Then Tom Brown came to his rescue by driving a hot one through Doyle for a base, and Joyce tallied King by flying out to cen- ter. In the seventh it looked as though there would be some more scoring by Washington, as Lush led off with a fine two-bagger to right center, but the next three men popped up little flies. Baltimore managed to get a man around the circuit in this inning. Rob- inson hit for a base to left, and took second when Selbach let the ball go through him. McMahcn’s sacrifice put Captain Robbie on third, and he scored on Kelley’s sacrifice to short. The eighth was unproductive, but not so the ninth. When Joyce came up for the last time he fixed his eye on a nice spot in the right field bleachers, and the first ball pitched was just the kind to put over there. It was a siow, low one, and “Serappy’s” bat lifted it al- most off the ground in front of the plate. In another second the thousands were yell- ing like mad folks, for the captain had made his second homer of the day. An- other treat was in store. Selbach selected the second pitch for his homer. It went to left field, and got tangled up among the signs, so that Kelley despaired of ever find- ing it. Jennings went out and helped him pick up the ball, ich had not been reached when “The Baren” crossed the rubber. McMahon was not in very good form, and the wet ball puzzled him, while it sa@med to increase King's effectiveness. The Ral- timore twirler gave seven bases on balls, while King gave but one, and hit one man. There were some great bits of fielding, not- withstanding the moisture. In the fifth in- ning Lush lifted a high fly to the right field Dleaghers that seemed to be ticketed for a hot but Keeler went up against the barbed wire fence and took the ball at arm's length. McGuire nabbed a difficult foul in the sixth. De Montreville played a fast, gilt-edged game at short. His one error was costly, but it was excusable. In the ninth he went after a ball that had caromed off King’s hands, and, taking it over second base on the run, he came with- in an ace of getting the runner at first. The game was snappy and lively from start to finish, even though the visito:s were distanced from the word “go.” The score tells the tale: BALTIMORE. R.H.O. A. B.

Talking about rooters, the Baltimore fans are not in it with those at the capital. Even the women give vent to expressions of approval. The Baltimores were accompanied to Washington yesterday by Jimmy Gilfoyle and Johnny Mahon, their Macon and Baiti- more mascots, besides a number of Baitt- more enthusiasts. The good work of the Senators has boom- ed the game in this city, which is now base ball crazy, and a happier crowd never left a field than did that here yesterday when the Senators retired the last Oriole. The bleachers have been transferred from the left to the right field on the Wash- ington grounds. This change gives Joyce a chance to improve his batting average. On the local grounds Joyce’s home runs would have been outs. There has never been a game played on any diamond while it rained as it did at Washington sterday. It is well enough for the management to look out for the dollars; but the players who are risk- ing their health are certainly entitled to some consideration. Nash was given flowers by his Boston friends at the Hub yesterday, and this proved a hoodoo, if the Phillies need any other hoodoo than that thirty-dollar assess- ment for bathing privile; Boston had better luck in bunching hits.

From the Argonaut. “Eddie” Farrell, a San Francisco politl- cian, whose death was announced this week, was at one time employed in the mint, “a. suicide job,” he called it, “at eight dollars a day.” He would enter a saloon, and, af- ter a simulated spell of coughing, would put his hand to his mouth and show to the astonished bystanders a small gold nug- get. He always carried it with him. Then, with a sigh, he w&ld remark: “My lungs are all coated with gold, from working im that mint. It's a regular suicide job.”
