A Scratch Home-Run Hit by Keeler Gave the Visitors the Game. Meceer was easy for Baltimore for two innings, and during that time they made the most of their opportunities. In the sec- ond inning with two men on bases Keeler Grove a bounder over Cartwright’s head that rolled to the fence and then, instead of stopping like a well-behaved ball is sup- posed to stop when it reaches an obstruc- n, it bounced over into the bleachers for a homer. Then Mercer went at his work in a more scientific manner, and thenceforth not an Oriole crossed the rubber.

Results of Friday’s Disgracefal Ac- tions tn Louisville. As briefly announced in The Star Satur- day, President Stuckey of the Louisville club swore out warrants against several members of the Cleveland Club for their essault on Umpire Weidman after Friday's game, charging them with disorderly con- duct. The cases were s:ied during the af- ternoen in a police court. Tebeau was fined $100, McAleer and McKean $75 each and Burkett $50. Umpire Weidman, after his treatment by the Cleveland players Friday, wired Pres- ident N. E. Young that he was “disabled” and could not umpire Saturday. In spite of the rough and insulting treatment re- ceived by Weidman he failed to fine er put out of the game e single Cleveland player. ‘The grounds were too wet for the game Saturday. Weidman is the second umpire who has refused to umpire for the Clevelands, Lynch being the other. John M. Ward says he thinks that Tebeau of the Clevelands “has allowed his temper to control him so long on the field that he is little short of insane on the umpire ques- tion.” President Hart of the Chicago Club has issued extraordinary orders in connectioa with today’s ball game with the Cleveland Club. He has asked for a strong force of policemen to be at the grounds, and he says that the first player in the game who ut- ters an audible oath or provokes riot by rowdy actions will be arrested and taken hefore the police authorities. Mr. Hart says: “We will take the matter in hand if the league will not. That crowd has been hurting base ball and financially injuring not only the Cleveland team, but all the others, and we simply will not stand such behavior in Chicago. Their words and actions have driven away the ladies and the better people from Cleveland games, and we Propose to protect those who come to our grounds. “The umpires have dealt too easily with the Clevelands. The umpires’ excuse al- Ways has been that the league won't stand by ‘them. “The league favors decent and clean ball and will uphold any umpire enforcing its laws. The trouble seems to be that Presi- dent Robison will not insist on making his n change their methods. The civil law provoke more respect in Tebeau than of umpires.” STORY OF THE LOU VILLE RIOT. A Description of Freak o1 From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The clubs had played more than three heurs and a half, and it was then too dark to continue. The Colonels allowed the Spiders to hit the ball at will in their half of the tenth, and played for darkness them- selves. Several times Umpire Weidman was inclined to call the game, but Tebeau ordered him to go on. In the last half of the tenth, with three on the bases and one out, Weidman said it was too dark, and called the game. Then the fun began. “Wow! roared Jack O'Connor. “Patsy come here! He’s called the game! He's called the game!” he yelled at ‘Tebeau, who was on first base. Then from ail about came the Spiders. McAleer, from deep center field, reached Weidman first by running fast. As his comrades gathcred about Weidman Mc- Aleer struck at the umpire, a terrific right- hand swing. Weidman dodged, and turned his back at the same time, the blow landing on his left shoulder. In justice to Tebeau, it can be said that he tried to catch Mc- '$ arm, but failed. This blow was the signal for the riot. Previous to Weidman’s action in calling the game the men on the bleachers hung over the fence in front of the seats, ready at a moment's notice to make a grand rush on the Spiders. They had been wrought to a very high pitch. When McAleer's fist struck Weidman 300 men fell out of the bleachers and rushed across the diamond like some big foot ball team with the ball. Many men tumbled out of the grand stand to the ground, 15 feet below, and all made a concentrated rush on the Spiders. Tom Lansing, the local welter-weight pugilist, led the procession almost at the side of half a dozer private policemen. Before they arrived the Clevelands had succeeded in punching Umpire Weldman several times more. Lansine’s elbow pushed men right and left, until he got in the thick of it. He ran up to McAleer and said: “What did you hit him for?” “It wasn’t me; it was him,” pointing at the huge form of Short Stop McKean. McKean ran backward, saying, “It wasn’t mé. It was him,” pointing to McAleer. Lansing evidently concluded McAleer was the guilty man, for he made a break for the center fielder. McAleer dodged and caught a left-handed swing on his shoulder, which ent him to his knees. While on his hands and knees he scrambled between the legs of men until he got away from Lansing and was on the outskirts of the mob. As he passed along his hands came in contact with a bat. Grasping this, he struck a short, stout young man with blonde hair, who wore a light suit of clothes and carried a cane. ‘The blow from the bat evidently did not hurt -the young man much, for he breught his cane down over McAleer's head with a resounding whack. McAleer ran toward the bench and escaped. In the meantime Private Policemar®Col- lins and Patsy Tebeau were having an ar- gument ten feet away. The big policeman was pushing Spiders right and left, his in- tention being to stop the fighting and to break up the mob. ‘Tebeau moved back from the policeman, saying: ‘What is your number? All I want is your number. I'll see to it that you are fixed.” ‘The policeman turned his badge until there could be no doubt but that Tebeau saw it. “There's my number, now what do you want with it?” and he continued to push ‘Tebeau toward the dressing room. Tebeau never did state what he wanted with the policeman’s number. A tall man in a linen suit was trying to hit some Cleveland player at another point of the compass, but failed, as the Spider ran away from him. Left Fielder Burkett was the second Spider to get to Weidman. He tried to hit the umpire, but a spectator gave him a short-arm punch in the mouth, which made his lips swell as if he had been fighting “bumble” bees. The crowd gave way and formed a circle, in order that Pugilist Lan- sing could get at Burkett, but the left fielder escaped between two small men. At this point Jack Ropke ran up, having come from the directors’ box. He yelled at the crowd: “Don’t interfere with the po- lice; don’t get in the way of the police; let the officers do their duty.” Some one hit Mr. Ropke a terrific blow in the jaw, and he decided to let the police at- tend to their own business. The spectators said they wanted blood, and that they were going to have it, but Manager McGunnigle, Capt. Miller, the pri- vate policemen and others finally’ guarded the Clevelands to their omnibus, which was surrounded by a jeering, howling crowd of some two hundred boys and men. ‘This crowd followed the ’bus to 28th street and Broadway, throwing stones as fast as possible. The driver of the vehicle whipped his horses, and tried to get away from the crowd, but failed until he turned up Broad- way. It was a pathetic sight to see half the brave Cleveland team lying, stomachs down, in the bottom of the omnibus, dodg- ing flying brickbats and boulders, while the other half were also dodging.’ Between dodges and swears Tobeau was “raising sand” with McAleer for having struck Weidman. at Tebean'’s Latest the Diamond. VON DER AHE’S DEAL AND MISDEAL Makes a Good Trade With Philadel- phia, but His Team is Demoralized. Von der Ahe has closed a deal with the Philadelphias whereby Cooley, the crack left-fielder of the Browns, will be ex- changed for fielders Turner and Sullivan. ‘Turner and Sulliven have been ordered to report at once, and Cooley will be kept until they arrive. Cooley, with Meyers, Cross and Kisinger, received heavy fines for indifferent playing. The team is generally in very bad shape, and Von der Ahe has come to the con- clusion that the men are rot trying to win games. It is reported that the salaries of the Browns have not been paid since May 15, and July 1 six weeks’ pay will be due, less sums paid to the men while cn the road. They left on their eastern trip on May 24 and were traveling June 1 and June 15, salury days. As is the custom, no settle- ment was made. It was arrarged between Manager Connor in behalf of the players and Secretary Muckenfuss or their return on Thurs-lay that the boys should receive enough money to satisfy their immediate wants Friday and that a settlement in full should be made on July 1. Connor geve in his list, but the players say they got no money Friday or Saturday, ‘Von der Ahe having fiegiected to sign the checks. An incipient strike among the piayers was suppressed by Manager Con- poe and Joseph Quinn, who counseled cau- tion. Muckenfuss says that Von der Ahe wil! pay off the indebtedness, July 1, but that he is disgusted with the poor showing of the team and is not going to put himself out of the way to oblige the men. The players will appeal to the league if their salarics should be kept back on Wednes- day, July 1. The attendance is peor. The Cincinnati club played to #115, $84 and $151, respect- ively, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. ROYAL CLYDE ¥ ACHTS. Big and Little Bonts Prizop. HUNTERS QUAY, Firth of Clyde, June 20.—The regatta of the Royal Clyde Yacht Club was continued today. The weather Was dull and a whole-sail, northerly breeze was blowing. The course for the big yachts was the same as Saturday, fifty miles in all, and for prizes of £75 and £25. The Umes of the yachts at the start were as follows: Sailing for Satanita. Ail Caress. Britannia. Niagara, Zetnta and Penitent started in the race for the small yachts at 11 o'clock over the thirty-mile course and for prizes of £%) and £10. Emperor William's new yacht, Meteor, is expected on the Clyde Wednesday, but she will not race before the Clyde Corin- thian regatta, which opens Saturday. SEEKING A SITE. Try"ng to Find a bet nee for the Cor- harkey Figh “ISCO, June 20.—Many per- sons Interested in the management of pugil- iste contests are sending telegrams over the country in search of an available spot for the Corbett-Sharkey match.

Several local and eastern “sports” have been canvassing the possibilities of securing a location Unless something unforeseen happens there will be a concerted effort to have the big mill take place there.

There is some taik of a stretch of ground in the vicinity of Yuma, but its location is thought to be unfavorable, so far as draw- ing a crowd is concerned, and it will in ali probability be given a wide berth, as the gate receipts will be an important factor in the consummation of the match. WHIST. The eyes of the whist world have been upon Manhattan Beach, watching the pro- gress of the sixth congress of the Ameri- can Whist League. Out of 134 clubs in good standing in the league, sixty-seven, or just half, had delegates present. Many of these had traveled jong distances, two of them, Harry Jones, or Cavendish, and W. H. Whiitield, came from England; one was from Seattle, another from Dakota, and several were from San Francisco, Si Paul, New Orleans and other wester: places. Mayor Wurster of Brooklyn deliv- ered the address of welcéme. ‘There were twenty entries for the Ham- ilton championship trophy. These were di- vided into four sections, five teams being in each section. Each team played a match of thirty-two hands with each other team in its section. The team in each sec- tion winning the greatest number of matches went into the semi-finals. Th teams in the different sections were draw! by lot, the drawing jres@iting as follow: Section A, Brcoklyn,-New Jersey Athletic, American of Boston, Hyde Park of Chi- cago, and Hamiltons of Philadelphia; sec- tion E, Fanwood, Philadelphia, Dartmouth, Hamilton of Brocklyn and St. Paul: sec tion C, Newton, Wilmington, Knickerbock- er, Milwaukee, Capital Bicycie Club of Washington; section D, New York, Balti- more, Albany, Chicago and New’ Jersey whist. Knowing ones in whist could easily pick out the winners in sections A, B and C as Hamilton of Philadelphia, St. Paul and Bi. C., but the result in section D was not easily figured out. ‘Chis was regarded as the strongest section in the tournament. It contained the celebrated New York short suit team, composed of Henriques, Haw- kins, Keily and Buffington. This team has been making a reputation for itself and the short suit system, and much interest was manifested in the scores made by this club at the congress. They lost their first match to Baltimore by two tricks, and lost to Chi- ago by five tricks. They took the venge out of the New Jersey Whist ( defeating them by nineteen tricks. Besides the New Yorks, the C. Bi. C. men are the cnly avowed short suit team in the tourna- ment. The American Club of Boston are not playing the Howell system, for the r: son that two of their players have not enough grasp of the system to play with confidence, and therefore the team played Jong suits. The Baltimores and Brooklyns are known as mixers. The Baltimores won all four matches in their section, defeating New York, Albany, Chicago and New Jersey. The Capital Bicycle Club team went from this city in a weakened condition. At the last moment Mr. Charles M. Barrick found that he would be urable to leave the city at this time, and a substitute had to be provided in his place. Mr. Barrick is rec- ognized as one of the strengest players in the club, if not in the corntry. Mr. Earl C. Quackenbush was substituted in his place. While a strong piayer, there is not the same confidence in him as in Mr. Bar- rick, possitly because the latter has had more expcrience in hard match play. The team which played for the Hamilton tro- phy is cumposed of Low, Barrick, Wooten and Quackenbush. They lost their fir: match to the Newtons, who beat them four tricks. They lost eleven tricks in eight hands. The Newtcns in one hand made e@ slam on a hand clearly good for twelve tricks, but when the C. Bi. played it, with short suit leads, they made but eight tricks. This is one of the cases where the system of leading the weakest suit lost tricks. After losing this match the Washington club defeated the Wil- mington’s by five tricks, the Milwaukees by twelve tricks, and also won from the Knickcrbockers, giving them three matches out of four. The Wilmingtons also won three matches out of four. The tie was de- cided by counting the trick score, which was in favor of the C. Bi. C.’s. The St. Paul club won with ease in section B, as did also the Hamiltcns of Philadelphia in section A, though the American club play- ed them a tie match. The semi-finals were played off Friday, and the finals Saturday. The St. Paul club is weakened by the absence of Bronson, its team being Bunn, Briggs, Gordon and Metcalf. The Hamiltpns present the team that played against the ©. BL C.'s in this city last winter, viz., Remak, Work, Bal- lard ‘and Mogridge. They were beaten by the C. Bi. C.’s last winter, and were recent- ly defeated by the New York short-suit team, who lost. to Baltimore. The Balti- more team is composéd’ of Whelan, Duvall, W. F. Smith and Steele. They are playing strong whist, and have & good chance to carry off the trophy. They have had regu- lar systematic practice aif winter. For the Minneapolis trophy the C. Bi. C.’s entered Britton and Williamson. Fogg and McComb had been selected for this contest, but McComb was detained at home by a death in his family, and Fogg was unable to leave here until Tuesday neon. In the first eight rounds the C. Bi. C.’8 won two matches and lost six. At that point the Baltimore and Hamilton of Phila- delphia pairs are a tie for first place, hav- ing won seven matches and lost one. The American club of Boston entered a_pair, Who are reported to be playing the Howell system. They have won four and lost four. The contest for the trophy of the Ameri+ can Whist League began Friday. For this the C. Bi. C.’s entered Fogg, Williamson, Britton and Cole. The Baltimore club en- tered Denison, Smith, Hinkley and Thomas. Dr. E. G. Walls of this city expected to attend the congress, but was detained at home by professional duties. He lately joined the Baltimore Whist Club, after the teams had been selected, but was urged by Capt. Whelan to be on hand to help out: the team in case of an emergency. The whist congress tournament closed Saturday at midnight. The Baltimore four played the finals with the Hamilton Club four of Philadelphia for the Hamilfon trophy and lost to them by 12 points. The Hamilton trophy is the league's champion- ship prize. The Baltimore Whist Ciub’s second four won the progressive match for fours and lost in the fours for the Ameri- can Whist League trophy. The progressive match for pairs was wen by the Baltimore pair. ‘The Minneapolis trophy was won by the Baltimoreans. CHE: The chess match for the championship ; of the Urited States and stakes amounting to $2,000 between Jackson W. Showalter and John F. Barry resulted in an easy victory fer Showalter by the score of 7 to 2 and four draws. The games in this match were not as interesting as those in the Showalter-Kemeny match, played pre- viously. Barry secmed to be afraid of the ckampion, and was cver-cautious. Besides, he invited the deubdling of queen’s bishop's pawns, and the isolatign of the queen's | rook’s pawn, in some of the games, of which Skowalter at once took advantage. While Barry obtained an open knight's file for his rook, in the end games, pawn positions were sources of weakne: Another match for the championship will probabiy be played next winter, between Pillsbury and Showalter. Pillsbury h pressed a willingness to engage in such a Match, the stakes to be $1,500 a side. While Showalier bcarz the title of cham- pion, the people of the country generally will ot regard him as the superior player in the lard until he hay beaten Pillsbury and perhaps Steirits, also.

The match with England will require ten on a side, instead of eight, gs in the last match, by the terms of the agree- ment. Consul Gencral Max Judd at Vienna suggests that the match between Austria and the United States be between residents of the tw» countries, and urges that Stein- itz and Kemeny be added to the American team. The match between England and America was restricted to players who were native born in the country they rep- resented. Citizenship in a country seems a better qualification for the participants in international matches. With Weiss, Englisch, Schlechter and Marco as a nu- cleus, Austria would put up a strong team. M. Rosenthal of Paris prefers natives on the teams. Among the French players would be Rosenthal, Goets, Sittenfeld, Jan- owski and Riviere. Germany would’ have on its team Tarrasch, Bardeleben, Mieses nd 8B. Lasker, brother of the | world's | champion; while on the Russian team would be Tschigorin, Schiffers and Alapin. Pillsbury has resizned from the Man- hattan Chess Club on account of the at- titude of the directors of that club toward him. It is reported that he is preparing statement in regard to the matter. As teinitz is a prominent member of the Man- hattan club, the rivalry between the two experts may have led to the present trouble. Hodges, D -imar and ry, § Columbia Tarn Verein.
