The defendant and several witnesses told of the circumstances under which the cutting occurred, and claimed that the knife was used in self-defense.

After a string of defeats so uninterrupted that the memory of ordinary man recalls not the date of the beginning, the Washing- ton base ball club yesterday won a game, and once more the local fans are joyous. Louisville, the tail-ender, was the victim, and Jack Crooks, the ex-Senator, was in part responsible for the defeat of the Colonels. Win Mercer was the Mercer of old, and, besides holding his opponents down to six hits, sluzged the ball safely each of the four times he went to bat. Washing! taried the run-getting in the first inning by scoring two, amd ald other brace in the second. Additional single tallies were a Je in the sixth, cighth and ninth. Louisville was not in the game, so to speak, for a moment, although Vitcher Hill did not do at all poorly. Charlie Abbey was hit by a pitched ball and badly injured. The game was marked by constant wrangling over the decisions of Umpire Betts.

Exciting Contest Between the Dis- tricts and Engravers, The Bureau of Engraving and Printing team, the champion of the Departmental League for 1805, and the District Commis- sioners’ Office team, the champion team of 18M, played to a standstill in nine innings at National Park yesterday, the score be- ing 6 to 6. Considerable doubt is expressed at the result of the game on account of the game being called in the middle of the ninth inning, after one run had been made by the Bureaus, tying the score, but under rule 23 the game must be declared a draw by the umpire. The score stood 6 to 5 in the eighth, and the District boys were re- tired in their haif of the ninth. ‘fhea, naturaliy, they wanted the game called, as ft was getting dark, while the Bureau rooters shouted to Umpire Routh to keep the ball rolling. This he did, despite numerous protests, and after one ‘run had been scored by the Bureau boys he called the game on account of darkness, two men being out. The point was contested by the friends of the District team present at the game, and the matter may be brought be- fore the board of arbitration for adjust- ment. The same was an exciting one from sitar! to finish; the most of the credit of the Dist trict office team’s play should be given to “Cy” Cummings. Although fourteen hits were made off his delivery, they were well scattered, while he struck out seven of the Bureau's’ strong hitters. Winkleman also pitchet an excellent game, allowing the District team ten hits, and striking out nine men. The story of the Bureau's loss of the game, however, !s told in the fact that they had twelve men left on bases. Leach, Flaherty, Winkleman, Fuller and Johnson each secured three hits, the last named making a two-bagger. The game was well attended, and the rooters on both sides did their best to encourage their own team and rattie the opposing players. While the District boys made five errors to the Bureau’s three, the former played a better game at the bat and on the bases, nine District clerks stealing bases to the Bureau's four, This is the first time since the season of 1894 that the Bureau has come so hear a defeat. In one game last year it was thought that the Infantry would get the better of them, but rain stopped the con- test, and in all games played since then the end has generally peen clearly defined be- fore the close of the early innings.

There is every likelihood of a close game being put up at National Park this after- noon between the Treasury team and the Washington Light Infantry. The Treas- ury team has taken a big spurt lately, and is confident of giving the soldiers a lot of trouble before the end of the game is reached. The Infantry team has been strengthened, and Manager House ex- presses the opinion that he has a winner in the present combination. Nicholson and Clifford will in all probability be the op- posing pitchers, and ladies will be admitted free. Notes. At Louisville again today. Mercer's pitching and batting were re- minders of old times. Pitcher Norton has joined the club and is practicing with the players daily. Cy. Young made the pitchers’ record of the season yesterday, in the game with Phil- adelphia, by allowing only one hit in the contest. Delehanty was the man who got the hit. ‘Theodore G. Gleason, the father of Glea- son of the New Yorks, was struck by a freight car yester: Camden, N. J., and sustained severe injuries. One arm was broken and he was otherwise seriously in- jured. SRYTHING I} WON EV SIGHT. Rockville Representatives Make a Fine Athletic Record. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ROCK BAY RIDGE, M4., 1896. This camp is pitched on the luff where the Severn river flows into the Chesapeake bay, and a more beautiful tenting spot would be difficult to find. The party, ten in all, arrived at 7 o'clock Tuesday even- ing, and by 10 o'clock the tents had been put up, and all the boys were soundly sleeping. Wednesday was a gala day for Bay Ridge, there being a special excursion here from Baltimore, under the auspices of the Young Catholic Friends’ Society, and it is said here that the largest crowd of the season was present. In the afterncon athletic sports and a base ball game were the attraction. The members of the Rockville camp were strict- ly in it, winning the first and second prizes in every event. The first eveut was a mile bicycle race, which had four entries. Stephen Quigley of the Rockville Wh2:l Club won first prize, a bicycle suit; H. Worthingten Talbott, another Rockville wheelman, was awarded second prize, u turtle-neck sweater. ‘This was a very pretty race, the winner being only a wheel length ahead at the tinish. There were five entries in the second race, which was won by Lee Dorsey, with Otho Talbott second. The prizes in this event were a search light bicycle lamp and a set of Dickens’ works. Ralph Jones of Kockville won the 100 yards dash in 11% seconds, and received a silk umbrella as the prize. Aiter the sports, a game of ball was played between a nine composed of the members of Camp Rockville and the Young Catholic Friends’ Societ team. Rockvilles won by the score of 5 to holson and Dawson were the win- uing team's battery. Nicholson struck out ten men in six innings, and allowed only two hits » will be another sports and wheel races. The boys are in training daily on the track and they are expected to duplicate their good work of Wednesday. A large crowd from Rockville will be down on Saturday to spend Sunday at the camp. The boys are bavirg an elegant time, and are enjoying good health. Over a hundred visiting friends of the campers were in camp today. The camping-out party consists of Oth: and Worthington Talbott, Leonard L. Nict cison, jr., Ralph Jones, Stephen Quigley Lee Dorsey, John_ Brewer, Stephen Ly4- dane and Harry Dawson, with their ser- vants. FO} SLUMP. The Boys Are Not Doing as Well as Was Expected. The Haverfcrd College cricket team from Pennsylvania played the Eton public school eleven yesterday in England, as telegraphed to The Star. The weather was fine and the attendance large. Runs at first came slowly. Lester and Adams played fine cricket, Adams batting for nearly four hours and scorin 61 runs. Hinchman made seven runs, Lester, 51; Mifflin, 2; Wis- tar, none; J. K. Scatterzood, 5; Hanson, Collins, 1; Tatnall, 5; Haines, 2; Scatter- gcod (not out), none; extras, 14. The Hav- erfords were all out for 152 runs. Eton had made 118 runs for two wickets when the match was drawn. The head master at Eton gave the pupils @ holiday in order that they might witness the match. The boys all wore silk hats, which are required by the etiquette of the college on such ocbasions as this. Many ladies of the aristocracy and some strangers, including Mrs. Griscom and the Misses Griscom of Philadelphia, were present. The cricket ground is prettily situated in the midst of trees, which somewhat interfered with the light. The young men from Haverford were liberally applauded by the spectators. They played a slow game of cricket. The teams were photographed together at lunch time. The Haverford team were entertained last night in the supper hall of Eton as the guests of the head master. After supper they were taken for a row on the river, mausic being furnished for the occasion. Capt. Lester of the Haverford team says that he cannot understand the reason for it, but that it is a fact that the boys are not playing as well as they were expected to. The Longwood Tournament. The Longwood tennis tournament at Longwood yesterday brought out a fair- sized crowd. Interest centered in the third round match between Champion F. H. Hovey, defender of the cup, and Lee Ware. R. D. Wrenn appeared for the first time during the tournament, and met J. D. Forbes in the second round of the challenge cup tournament. J. F. Talmage, jr., faced Richard Stevens, and G. R. Budlong played W. L. Jennings in the third round of the cup. Summaries: National handicap, third round—Richard Hooker beat A. Codman, 6—5, 5-6, 6—4; E. Howard beat James Terry by default; W. K. Shaw beat R. C. Seaver, 6—4, 4-4, 6-2. Cup tournament, second round—R. D. Wrenn beat J. D. Forbes, 6—2, s—4, 6—2. Third round—Richard Stevens beat J. F. Talmage, jr., 6-0, 6—3, 6-3. Four old-timers are left to fight it out for the cup in the Longwood tournament: Warren, Stevens, Budlong and Hovey— all having disposed of their opponents in yesterday's matches. In the afternoon young Leo Ware gave Hovey a fair con- test in the third round, while the Budlong- Jennings match was more exciting. Warren had no difficulty in defeating Whitman, and his brilliant playing has made him a favorite for international hon- ors in case he is successful in beating Ste- vens today, especially as Hovey “has not shown any decided strength this year. The handicap match still continues interesting, and the semi-finals will be played today. Summaries: National handicap, third _round—Willes- ton beat Fuller by default; Pier beat Beck- man, 6—1, 6—1. Cup tournament, _ tI beat Ware, 6-4, 9-7 Jennings, 6—4, 3—6, 6-1, Whitman, 6-2, 6-0, 7-Op The Nuremberg Ch83s Tournament. Play in the international chess masters’ tournament was resumed at Nuremberg, Germany, yesterday, when the fourth round resulted as follows: Blackburne beat Showalter in a queen's gambit after forty-nine meves. The game between Winawer and Char- busek, a Ruy Lopez, remained adjourned. Tschigorin beat Schallopp in a Ruy Lo- pez after forty-one movg¢s. Steinitz heat Maroczyin a Ruy Lopez after twenty-four moves. Tarrasch beat Marco in a P, Q. 4 open after thirty-one moves. Janowski beat Schlechter in a Ruy Lo- pey. after thirty-seven moves, Lasker and Walbrodt drew a Ruy Lopez after thirty-six moves. Schiffers and Porges drew a Freich de- fense after thirty-six moves. Pillsbury beat Albin in a Ruy Lopez after thirty-nine moves. Teichmann had a bye. round—Hovey ; Budlong beat ; Warren beat ky? Baldwin Likely to Retire. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 24.—It is probable that E. J. Baldwin will retire from the turf. His racing string {his sca- son has been a@ failure, and he says that unless there is improvement he will aban- don racing and devote his attention to breeding. Baldwin has raced horses for twenty years, and has been one of the most successial men on the American turf. His Santa Anita farm has produced more Der- by winners than any similar establishment in the country, and many a stake race has gone to the black Maltese cross. Santa Anita horses have five times won the Am ican Derby and finished second twice. A RECELV SKED For. Affairs of the Harew Syndicate Taken into Coart. The affairs of the Harewood Park lapd syndicate were brought into court today by a bill in equity, filed by Susannah A, Cran- deil, Emily F, Hort, Josephine S. Adams, adininistratrix of Edwin H.

Junius Latney, a colored, boy, did not want to go to the reform school, and when ques- tloned by Judge Miller today he said he was seventeen years old. Judge Miller did not believe what the boy said about his age, and inquiry revealed the fact that the boy will not be seventeen until next month. Junius is said to be the leader of a crowd of young thieves who have been stealing bicycle lamps and small articles. The boys live in the neighborhood of 1ith street, some distance from Florida avenue, and Detective Lacy found Latney after the thefts had caused considerable annoyance to the officers. When Judge Miller learned the boy’s age he sent him to the reform school during minority, ——._._ Marriage Licenses. Marriage llcenses have been issued to Henry E. Rawlett and Annie E.

District Commissioners to Appoint on Merit—Voundaries of Police Precincts Changed. surgeon, which becomes vacant next Octo- ber, 18 on in earnest. Notwithstanding the recommendation of the medical board which examined the applicants, several physicians who did not make the required percentage, but who have political influ- ence, are making a strong effort to secure the appointments. One of these, it is sald, has intimated that because he will not get one of the places the District will be made to suffer in the matter of appropriations, because his backers are on the District committees. But the Commissioners show no Inclina- tion to yield. They have made no promises about this other place, that becomes va- cant in October. It is stated at the Dis- trict building that with the Est of eligibles before them they will make when the times comes, and polli have nothing to do with it. Police Precinct Boundaries Changed. The Commissioners, upon the recommen- Gation of Major Moore, have changed the boundaries of the fifth and ninth precincts as follows: Fifth precinct, all that part of the District of Columbia situated east of the Potomac and the Anacostia rit and south of the Ridge road to the intersection with the Anacostia river; thence by direct line to the center of Bast Capitol street, i the city of Washington, at the Anacost! river; thence along East Capitol street to 2 ce of the Capitol; thence south on South Cap) et to the Anacostia riv thence along the north and west banks of said river to the place of beginning. mencing at the intersection of the center * Capitol street by the Ana- ; thence west along East Cap- tio Ist street; thence north along reet to Florida avenue; thence along ntwood road to Queen’s’ Chapel road; hence to the boundary line of the Distri of Columbia; thence alon: lire to the intersection thence along Ridge r. with Anacostia road, and th line to the place of beginning.

Mr. Gordon tried hard last night to get some one to go on his bail, but was unsuc- cessful in obtaining the desired security. In consequence, he was obliged to remain at the station all night. Mr. Gordon is about thirty-five years of age and married. One of the horses belonging to the Poto- mac Stone Company, and engaged in haul- ing stone to the site of the new Methodst University, was discovered yesterday by Mr. Rabbitt of the Humane Society to be totally unfit for such heavy work, owing to very apparent disabilities, and Mr. Chas. G. Smith of the firm was charged with cruelty to animals, and obiiged to leave $5 at the station as collateral. Mr. William Zell is still dangerously ill. Graham L. Gordon was arrested and held all night in the station house last night be- cause of a misundersianding concerning a check for $5.26, which had been given by him to R. Harms & Co. The check, it is claimed, was worthless. It was one that Gordon had recelved from another person in settlement of an insurance premium and believed to be good. The matter was satis. factorily explained today, and it appear: that Mr. Gordon was wholly innocent. The charge against him was nolle prosequied. —~—.__. Claims to Be Irresponsible. John F.
