Having escaped alive from the Colts, Browns, Colonels, Recs, Spiders and Pi- rates of the west, to say nothing of sun- dry alleged blood-thirsty umpires, the statesmen have landed in Brooklyn, where they expect gentler treatment. They play- ed seventeen games while out in the region that sustains Von der Ahe and Anson, and of these they won just 3, losing 14. In Chi- cago, Cleveland and Cincinnati they drop- ped all the games, three threes. Perhaps the Statesmen were all at “C” when they struck those selfish towns. But that is a pun and the weather is warm and the base ball public of Washington is in no humor for joking. “Life 1s real, life ts earnest,” as Longfellow remerked, from this time on to the end of the season, and that’s no WThe team is somewhat crippled. ‘Tom Brown is lame and Abbey's eye is in bad shape. ing’s arm is sore and Mercer is not in the best of form.

It is hoped that King will be in condition by next week. A FIERCE TUSSLE AT CINCINNATI. The Reds aad the Spiders Have a Placid Time, However. The Cleveland men forgot to scrap yes- terday in Cincinnati, and as a result they played great ball. Had Cuppy kept his pace for one more inning the Reds would have been shut out. Rhines had one bad inning too, the sixth, and then Fisher toox his place. Rhires had not pitched since his finger was broken, early in the season.

Joy in the Camp of the Light In- fantry Boys. There is great joy in the camp of the sol- dier boys from the Washington Light In- | fantry Armory, for they succeeded yester- @ay in defeating the strong Bureau of En- graving and Printing team by a score that seemed in some measure to make up for past defeats. The figures were 17 to 1, and the Bureau team seem demoralized both in the field and at the bat. The Infantry made seventeen hits to the Bureau's five, and one error to the latter's eight. Notwith- standing the score, however, the game was a hard-fought one, and a number of the rooters for both teams, with a number of ladies, watched the contest. Burns pitched for the soldiers and made a splendid show- ing, striking out eight men and allowing the strong hitters opposed to him but five hits, three of which were of the scratch order. Bernard occupied the rubber for the money-makers, and, besides being away off-color in his work, was backed up miser- ably. The Infantry virtually settled the game in the second inning, when eleven men went to the bat and seven of them scored. The Bureau team was overconfident on account of former victories, and the trouncing it re- ceived came only as a matter of course. The soldier boys put up a crack fielding game, the only error going to Lewis at third base. Routh and Kleinschmidt led at the bat, each with three hits, the former mak- ing a triple and two doubles, while Jones got two out of the Bureau’s total number. As stated above, there is the wildest kind ef joy in the hearts of the Infantry boys. They tried hard last year to overcome the hoodoo and defeat the crack aggregation from over the hill, and suffered defeat this year both from the District Commissioners as well as the Bureau. The Infantry and the Bureau were the strongest kind of rivals last year, but it seemed as though the luck of the soldier boys deserted them when they were opposed to the money- makers, and they invariably went to pieces. With this record it is no small wonder that the boys feel elated, and last evening gave vent to their enthusiasm in a variety of ways. Manager House regaled the team at a lunch at the armory last evening and treated himself to clams early this morning. It is wafe to say that the next time the two teams come together the game will be one worth going a long way to see. yesterday: BUREA' R. Leach, 8b.. 0 foues, ss...

TODAY'S DEPARTMENTAL GAME. ‘Treasury Team to Play the Fort Myer Mine, The Treasury team and the Fort Myer aggregation will be the ‘opposirg ones at National Park today in the Departmental League schedule. It has been rumored that the boys from across the river have brightened up wonderfully since thelr en- campment in Pennsylvania, and that they have learned a number of tricks from their Quaker brethren in the art of ball pluying. They will do the best work possible in or- der to make up for past defeats and feel confident that they can hold the Treasury team down, even if they cannot win. The Treasury team has taken a big spurt of late, however, and its-admirers look for it to run away from the troopers. Ladies will be admitted free and the game will be called at 4:30. Philadelphia Beaten in Atlantic City. Seven thcusand people saw the Philadcl- Phia league team beaten by the Atlantic City aggregation of college players yester- dey at Atlentic City in @ ten-inning game. It was the most exciting base ball contest ever seen in that city. The crowd went frantic over the result.

Washington wheelmen who journey into Maryland will be interested to know that there is a law on the statute books of the state punishing the use of the footpaths along the roads of Baltimore county by other than pedestrians, and that it is being enforced. Several bicyclers were arrested in the twelfth district of that county Sun- day on the charge of riding on footways along the public.Foads. The men claim that they were arrested‘flegally, and they have appealed to Mr, Conway W. Sams, chief consul of the Maryland division of the L. A.W. Though fone of the arrested men are members of the &. A. W., the chief con- sul told them thiat,he would submit their cases to the commijjee on rights and priv- ileges, and that the L. A. W. would inter- est Itself in thé’matter. Each man was fined $1 and costs by, Justice Richardson of Canton. ~ Justice Richardson made the following statcment in regar@ to the arrest of the men: “Where they were arrested a con- tinual complaint has been coming to me of the action of bicyclists in ignoring the rights of pedestrians, Women and children have had_narrdjy ¢é¥eapes from being run down by men of bigycles, who neglected to regard the.righas of pedestrians. Bicycle riders have rcpeetedly -sun women and children Of the paths along the county roads, and we have decided that it is about time for the law which makes jt a misde- meanor to ride a bicycle on footways in the county to be enforced. It was with that idea in view that Constables Creamer and Jenkins made the arrests on Sunday. The last legislature passed the follo ing law in relation to this question: “It shall not be lawful for any person or per- sons riding on a bicycle or other vehicle of that description to ride upon any sidewalk or footway laid along any public highway in Baltimore county, or upon any sidewalk or footway Jaid along any private road or street in sald county.” The penalty for violation of this law is fixed at not less than $2 nor more than $5. Justice Richardson says that he has en- deavored to be lenient with violators in the past, but that in future when an offender is brought before him he will impose the full penalty allowed him by law. N. A. A. 0. REGATTA. It Will Be Held on Saratoga Lake August 12 and 13. The twenty-fourth annual regatta of the National Association of Oarsmen will be held at Saratoga lake August 12 and 13. A feature this year will be the ball given by the citizens in Convention Hall to the offi- cials and oarsmen on the night of August 13. The list of events includes intermediate single scull shells, senior single scull shells, intermediate double scull shells, senior double scull shells, senior pair-oared shells, intermediate four-oared shells, senior four- oared shells, international four-oared shells. intermediate eight-oared shells and senior eight-oared shells. The distance is one and a half miles, with one turn, except for the international senior four and intermediate and senior eight races, which are the same distance straightaway. The regatta committee is composed of Robert H. Pelton, New York, chairman; George W. Statzell, Philadelphia; James R. Doyle, Boston; William L. Jupp, Detroit, and Fred Fortmeyer, Newark. The Na. tional Association proposes to make Sara- toga lake a permanent course at its annual meeting. It fs accessible to oarsmen in all parts of the United States and Canada. HANLAN’S NARROW ESCAPE. The Ex-Champion Oarsman Had a Race With Death and Won. Early Sunday morning Edward Hanlan, the ex-champion sculler, was out for prac. tice in Bedford Basin, at Halifax, N. S., in a shell that had been improperly mended. When the oarsman was a third of a mile out the glue melted, the gunwale parted just abaft the seat, and water poured into the boat. Hanlan bent,to the oars and drove the shell towardithe-shore with strokes that never faltered, ,AltHOugh every second the stern sank deeper in the w: rose higher in the air. ~~" “nd the bow It was a delictite matter to keep the boat on‘an even kell; to strong on either oar meant an overtyrn, #oaking Hanlan’s task a test of skill as well as of strength. The boat sank at last in four-feet of water, and Han. Tan waded ashore.’ “They built a death-trap for me,” he sal ty oat I beat them out in the greatest race I ver towed.” Prefter’s}Mugvelous Work. The ex-king/bf ‘second basemen, Fred Pfeffer, has at last got his batting eye focused on theYall,“hnd is lining them out with regularityoin-each game. The flelding of Fred since yejoljing the Chicagos has been marvelous.iand now that he ts hitting again in his olgttim style, his friends, who are legion, are:mote than delighted. The hole at second has at last been filled, and Captain Anson credits the fine showing made recently by the Colts to the excellent batting and fielding of the New York cast off.—Chicago Correspondence of the Sport- ing News. Western Teams Dinsbana. PEORIA, Ill, July 28.—The Peoria West- ern Association team disbanded last night, and Manager Dugdale says the entire league has decided upon disbandment. The political excitement has detracted from in- terest in base ball, and reduced the attend- ance, so that is would no longer pay. The bisbandment of Quincy started the disin- tegration, and it was known three weeks ago, Dugdale says, that the league would not last long. Des Moines, he says, has gone home to disband, and Burlington will follow suit. The league will be reorganized rext year, | FINE SPORT PROMISED Saturday's Boat Races Expected to Be Lively. PREPARATIONS PRACTICALLY MADE Efforts to Be Made to Keep a Clear Course. LIST OF OFFIOIALS At the meeting last night of the com- mittee in charge of the Potomac river re- gatta to be rowed next Saturday pract! ly all the details of the affair were ar- ranged and everything was planned in ad- vance, so that it will only be necessary for the committee to meet again Friday night to receive final reports and to deliver the last instructions to the officials of the course. The members of the committee were pleased with the character of the en- tries, which were published last evening in The Star, and they agreed that there was material enough in view to give one of the mest interesting regattas ever held on the Potomac. Especially in the senior four- oared race for The Evening Star cup is there a good aggregation of rousing talent, and there will doubtless be a fierce strug- gle between the representatives of the three cities that are, this year, striving for this handsome trophy, which is very high- ly, regarded by the oarsmen of the east. The Pennsylvania Barge Club of Phila- delphia will send a strong crew to defend the cup, which it wen last year, but the Ariels say that it is high time the plece of silver went to Baltimore, and word comes from the monumental city that the crew is working hard under the direction of Train- er Harry Vaile, with the determination to pull away from the Quakers and the Co- lumbia and Analostan crews, entered in this race. Order of the Events, At last night's meeting tke order of the races was decided upon officially as fol- lows: 3 p.m., junior eights; 0, junior singles; 4:00, junior fours; intermission tc &ive the oarsmen who rowed in the first Traces and who are to row in subsequent races a breathing spel 00, senior fours; 5:30, lightweight fours; 6:00, intermediate eights. Various plans are being considered by the ccmmittee for the entertainment of the spectatora In the intermission between the junior four and senior four races. Among the suggestions that have been made is one that there should be an exhibition of the hydrocycle, or water bicycle, that has just been completed at a boat house adjoining the Columbia Club float. There are three machines ready for use, and it is thought that a race may be arranged between sume well-known wheelmen for the diversion of the crowd and for the demonstration of the speed of these curious craft as well. A race between a hydro- cycle and an ordinary row boat may be fixed up. In addition the committeemen are trying to persuade some of the expert swimmers of the three boat clubs to en- gage in a swimming race, or perhaps an upset race, which usually produces great fun. The canoists of tne Potomac are also being sounded with a view to arranging a race between two or more of the best pad- dlers on the river. Altogether there is an excellent prospect that a most enjoyable Ppregram will be devised, and the inter- mission will certainly not be slow or te- diovs. Should all plans for these extra events fail there will be no long wait be- tween the races. Keeping a Clear Course. Precautions are being taken to prevent the crowding of the course by steamers and small boats, and to this end the Treasury Department has been appealed to under the law passed in the interests of the intercol- legiate regatta by Congress last spring, giv- ing to the treasury officials jurisdiction over all navigable waters during regattas for the purpose of preventing crowding,swamp- ing and fouling. The officials have prom- ised to ald the committee in every way pos- sible, but there is one serious difficulty in the way. The plers of the Aqueduct bridge are so low that a light house tender cannot pass, ard there is no revenue cutter now in this vicinity. | Consequently recourse mvst be had to a steam launch, which, hewever, will be sufficient, for the majesty of the United States is behind the little craft, and the experience at Poughkeepsie, where the law was first invoked, was that the boat bearing the flag of Uncle Sam's great fiscal department had sufficient pres- tige to keep steamers several hundred times her size at a respectful distance from the ecurse. Word was passed to the pilots in that in- stance that the slightest infraction of the rules of the course would be punished by a revocation of licenses by the Treasury De- partment, and as that is the source af all authority to navigate the waterways of the country the warning was sufficient to produce an Ideal course. Capt. Shoemaker, chief of the revenue cutter division of the Treasury Depart- ment, told a Star reporter today that the Crawford was the only revenue cutter now in commission on this station, and her duties will keep her employed in the vicin- ity of Baltimore, where she is at present, for some time to come. The matter is within the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, and if he should see fit to order the Crawford to this city for the purpose of assisting the regatta committee in keeping the course clear it will be done. Cannot Follow the Boa The course committee, headed by Capt. John Nolan of the Potomac, has decided that no steamers shall be allowed to follow the race except the Bartholdi, which has been engagei as a combination referee and press boat. An effort has been made to permit a steam launch run in the name of one of the local newspapers to accompany the crews over the course, but permission for this privilege has been denied, and probably orders will be given to the police beat, whatever craft may be assigned for this purpose, to keep everything off the course from start to finish except the ref- eree’s steamer and the competing crews. Excursion Steamers. So far none of the excursion steamer companies has applied for permission to anchor a boet at the finish line, as has been done in former regattas, but some arrange- ments of this kind may be made before Saturday, although the necessity for this sort of accommodations is not so pressing this year, in view of the fact that the up- per course will be used and the Aqueduct bridge will afford an opportunity to thou- sands to view the races from start to fin- ish, while the wharves near the line will give thousands more a chance to see the contests. The Columbia and Potomac houses will be the main points of vantage, and tickets for seats on the balconies and the floats are now belhg issued. Fortunately, there are more facilities at the finish of the upper course for viewing the races than at the lower course, owing to the fact that there are few accessible wharves around the Analostan house, opposite which the stake boat is placed when the lower course is used.

An “ante-election” excursion was given to River View yesterday by Columbia Typo- graphical Union, No. 101, and if there was any printing done at all in the city of Washington yesterday it was not because the committee on the disposal of tickets failed to do its work, for the crowd that took the outing taxed the capacity of the boats and grounds and added a nea: sum to the treasury of the union. The committee in charge of the outing was sharp to a high degree. It rightly conjectured that the candidates for election at the coming choosing of officers would sell as many lickets as possible in order to appear in a ht before the members of the union and this is the reason that the outing just two days previous to the an- nual choosing of officials. Beyond a little quiet canvassing, however, no demonstra- tion was made in favor of any of the candidates, and if any electioneering was going on it was done in a quiet manner. Besides the regular amusements at the View the printers indulged in a prize bowl- ing contest, although the game of base ball scheduled for the afternoon did not take place on account of the failure of the teams to materialize. “Shooting the chute” as freely indulged in, and it 1s safe to y that nearly every excursionist on the grounds took.a shy at the rapidly moving boats on the incline. A two-step entitled “Columbia, 101," composed by Richard F. Wagner in honor of Columbia Union, was played for the first time and voted a suc- c On account of a light shower which swept across the river the start home was made half an hour earlier than scheduled. The committees in charge of the outing were as follows: Entertainment committee —T. A. Bynum, Charles F, Purdy, Elmer Dement, H. F. Sauter and E. Dietrich. Re- ception—Harry Springer, chairman; J. Menroe Kreiter, S. J. Triplett, Balzey Sau- ter, W. E. Shields, Oscar 8. Shawen, Joel W. Cross, John L. Kennedy, Ed. T. Toner, E. G. Farrell, F. C. Roberts, John T. Dick- man, William R. McLane, Frank Hatley and P. A. O’Brien. Floor—C. E. Dietrich, chairman, Thomas F. McKeon, E. M. Ne- vils, W. K. Lockwood, D. 8. Hussey, Frank Watson, J. S. Leech, S. D. Pool, Thomas E. Bognkessell, Harry Billings and Otis W. McKee. River View is always cool. No matter how hot the weather may be in town, cool breezes can always be found in the shady and grassy. lawns of that pleasant resort. The Wednesday trips to the View are among the most popular of the week, and hundreds of Washingtonians pay the re- sort a visit on these trips. Tomorrow will be another of those pleasant Wednesdays and the steamer Pentz will leave her wharf here ut 19 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m. and will re- turn at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 p.m. Those who wish a pleasant ride in the cool of the evening and by moonlight should take the Pentz at 6:45 and return on the S p.m. trip. The water chute and all the other at- tractions will be ready to afford amuse- ment to all tomorrow, and there will be music and dancing both afternon and even- ing. The first annual excursion of Kismet and District Councils, Royal Arcanum, V.M. will be given this evening at River the steamer Pentz leaving at thcugh this is the first attempt of on the part of the councils the committees in charge have been working industriously for the success of the outing and are deter- mined that the series which it is intended to give through the years shall have an auspicious opening. Children under twelve years of age will be taken on the trip free. The Relief Association of the Great Falls Ice Company will give an excursion to Marshall Hall tomorrow evening on the steamer Macalester. The boat will leave at 6:30, and the different committees of the organization have spared no pains in mak- ing preparations for the event. A large rumber of tickets have been sold, and there is every likelihood of a neat sum being add- ed to the treasury of the organization for the benefit of its members. The Street Railway Assembly will give its second annual excursion to River View Thursday. The outing is for the benefit of the blacklisted employes of the Metropoli- tan railroad, and there is every evidence that the excursion will net them a hand- some sum. The Pentz will leave her wharf at the usual hours. Tickets may be ob- tained from any members of the committee or at the wharf on the day of the excur- sion. The committee in charge of arrange- ments consists of Messrs. John Ryan, T. J. Lawrence, C. J. Beckwith, W. P. nith, H. A. Skinner, R. B. Rodgers and W. H. Esler, chairman. Mr. A. H.
