From the New York Sun, Today. The proposed deal between the New York and Washington clubs, as was announced in the Sun yesterday, has fallen through. Another attempt was made yesterday morning by President Freedman to transfer Joyce and Selbach to the local club, but the offer made to Manager Schmelz would not be accepted. “While the New York club is anxious to strengthen its team,” said Mr. Schmelz, “I am just as eager to make the Washington team a winning one. Mr. Freedman wanted the best of the deal, and as I was in the same boat there is little likelihood of any deal being consummated.” From the New York World, Today. The New York club is said to have made an offer for “Scrappy Bill” Joyce and Out- fielder Selbach of the Washington team. Mr. Freedman might as well have tried to secure Shortstop Dahlen and Outfielder Lange of the Chicagos. The Wagners could not afford to trade or sell Joyce or Selbach, even if so disposed, and it is very doubtful if any inducement could tempt them to part with the men, leaving asi.le the attitude of the Washington public on the question. HOME ONCE AGAIN. The Statesmen Come Back to Their Own Dear Diumond. Washington's aggregation of ball tossers returns to the home diamond today after an absence of twenty-four days, days filled with dark, aisastrous defeat. Twenty games have been played, and four of them have resulted favorably to the Statesmen, while one has been tied. Hard luck has chased the team half way across the con- tinent. Sickness has come to its men, hot balls have been pitched against them to injure them, and bad weather has taken from the energies of their pitching arms. Fortunately, the blow came at a time when the club had secured a good percentage, so that the climb back up the iadder will not be so severe a task as though the to- boggan had been struck while they were down in the list. Never again will they go west this year, and for that the local fans are devoutly thankful. The western clubs are playing the hardest kind of bail, and their excellent performances were doubtless at the bottom of many of the misfortunes of the Senators. From now on to the end of the season Joyce's band of athletes will either enter- tain their friends on the home ground or journey along the Atlantic coast, looking for soft things. After August 19 they set- tle down for a long home stretch, and then it Is that the poor showing of July is ex- pected to be neutralized. Today the team meets Baltimore here. Esper is booked to pitch for the Orioles and Norton, whose first appearance nas been promised from day to day for a week, may go into the box for Washington. If King is in form, however, he may be as- signed to hypnotize the Baltimore sluggers. It is hoped that Abbey will be able to play, perhaps taking Brown's place in center and relieving Tcm for a few days while he nurses his lame knee. Abbey has rapidly recovered from the effect of the pitched ball that struck him in the eye at Louis- ville, and he is anxious to get into the game again. DeMortreville was not suffi- ciently disabled by his hurt Wednesday in Brooklyn to be obliged to stay out of the gime yesterday, and he will play to- day. Baltimore reeds no introduction to a Washington crowd, so here's to the game, nd may the best club win. TIE GAME IN BROOKLYN. Rained at the Start and Grew Too Dark to Finish. It was too bad that Washing‘ton did not win yesterday, for the ball was hit hard and often enough to have given a victory to the Statesmen, who played an all but perfect game in the field. McJames was in fine form, and kept the Grooms down to five hits. He had hard luck, however, with the ball early in the game, when it was wet and difficult of control, and sent men to bases in the second in such numbers that a run was tallied, but for which Washington would have won. Then, in the seventh inning, Brooklyn began to hit safe- ly, and by a small bunch of singles then and in the eighth scored three runs and tied the score. But for a very lucky catch by Anderson of a long fly from McGuire's bat in the ninth Joyce would have tallied the winning run and perhaps McGuire would have made a homer. The game was preceded by a fierce thun- der storm, which made so much noise that the ladies in the grand stand were seri- ously frightened. One or two of them faint- end, and great confusion prevailed. The game was considerably delayed on this ac- count, else the tie could have been played off. Sawdust had to be used in liberal quantities before the game could progress, and the field was so slippery that the good work was remarkable. Three bases on balls gave Brooklyn a run in the second inning. The leather was wet and slippery and McJames had «reat difficulty with it. Abbey, Brooklyn's twirler, hit one to the pitcher, with the bases full, and the. best McJames could do was to throw out the runner at first, while Corcoran scored. In the third the Statesmen hit the ball hard enough to have scored two or three runs, but one was the sole result. Mc- James lined out a two-bagger to center, went along on O'Brien’s sacrifice, and scored on Selbach’s single to left. DeMontreville struck the left field fence with his rap, and Selbach was held at third by a good throw, while Monty reached second. There were two out and another hit meant two runs, but Joyce put up a foul fly that Shindle captured. In the fourth two runs were secured. Mc- Gutre singled to right and Brown beat out a little hit to the pitcher. Cartwright sac- rificed and advanced the men. Lush went down on balls and the bases were filled. McJames was anxious to line out the ball again, but Joyce passed him the word to bunt and sacrifice, a thing that is not in Jim my’s repertoire. He made three foul bunts and was counted out. ‘Then O’Brien singled, scoring McGuire, and Selbaca waited for four bad ones and Brown was forced in. Washington's fourth and last run was scored in the sixth, when Lush hit to right center for two bases, went to third on McJames’ sacrifice to Corcoran, and scored on Selbach’s single. In the seventh Joyce worked his way around to third on a base on balls, Brown’s hit and Cart- wright’s fly-out. Brown stole second and Joyce tried to score on the throw, but was caught. a In the ninth Joyce reached first and then McGuire hit # long, hard fly into left. An- derson ran back like a deer, and just at the lucky moment turned and lifted his mitted hand. By the merest margin the ball landed in it, and after a bit of jug- gling the flelder managed to hold the sphere. Had he muffed it the game would have belonged to Washington, for the statesmen had the last chance at bat and single run would have been a winner. But he did not drop it. Brooklyn scored twice in the seventh. La Chance went down on balls. Daly pound- ed a two-bagger into left center, and these men scored on Grim’s hit to left. The ty- ing run was tallied in the eighth, when Shindle got a base on balls and scored on s:ngles by Corcoran and La Chance. It was McJames’ hard luck that three of the runs taliied by Brooklyn were start- ed off by bases on balls. It was Abbey’s good fortune that the Senators’ hits were scattered. It was Brooklyn’s luck that Anderson got his mitt in the way of that long fly of McGuire's. It was also Brook- lyn’s luck that Tim Hurst decided that it was too dark to play after the ninth in- ning. So goes base ball. The score: BROOKLYN. WASHINGTON. R.H.O.A.E. RH .OLAE.

The game at St. Louis belonged by rights to the Browns, for they played another er- rorless game and made as many hits as the “Wranglers,” as the Cleveland play- ers are now termed. But Patsy’s crowd had the fortune to bunch hits in the sev- enth and the four runs then obtained won the gaime. The score: ST. LOUIS. Banch CLEVELAND. Ill R.H.O, -11.0.A.B Dowd, 2b.. 0 2 6!

The Ex-Senator Was a Soft Mark in Two Innings. Frank Foreman, the retired Statesman, was all right except in two innings, and Cincinnati lost to Pittsburg on the strength of those two weak spots in his delivery. Smith was hit by a pitched ball in the second and forced to retire, Gray taking his place. This change weakened the Reds’ infield. ‘The score: CINCINNATI. PITTSBURG R.H.O.AE. R.H.O.AE.

Umpire, Lally. Notes. New for the Orioles. It is ladies’ day at the park. There were only 1,600 people at the game in Brooklyn yesterday. The Senators de- served a better crowd. Esper ought not to be a very difficult problem to solve for the Washington swat- ters. It is a good chance to try Norton. McJames is now doing the best pitching for Washington. There were many who frowned on this ambitious young man early in the season, but old hands who saw his work predicted that he had the right quality in him. Washington plays in Baltimore tomor- row, and Baltimore plays here Monday. Tuesday is an open date for the working off of postponed games, and Wednesday the Statesmen open up in Boston for the three-game series. Then they come back here to meet Baltimore, and go over to Orioletown to return the compliment a week from tomerrow. Boston made Baltimore a bid yesterday for Quinn’s release. Hanlon was willing, but Quinn preferred to remain with the Orioles to run his chance for a slice of the Temple cup money. NEARING AN END. The C. A. C. Tennis Tournament is About Finished. It is hoped that finals in class A of the c. A. C. tennis tournament will be played off this afternoon at Columbia field. By to- morrow doubtless all of the events will have been completed. Yesterday O'Leary beat Pomeroy, 6-4, 6-4, and Morrow beat Powell, 6-2, 6-3. Today O'Leary and Talia- ferro meet in the final round of class A, ard Campbell and Taliaferro will meet Clemons and Pomeroy in the doubles.

MARKING OFF THE COUR E Commodore Garrigan of the Schuylkill Navy, who was chosen umpire of the Po- tomac river regatta to be rowed tomorrow, will arrive in the city this evening, so as to be in ample time for the races that are to be started promptly at 3 o'clock tomorrow afterncon. He will stop at. the Arlington | The Evening Star Trophy. during his stay here, and tonight he will meet the regatta committee and go over the plans for the event, so that he may be in perfect harmony with the local managers of the affair. The final details of the regatta will be ar- ranged tonight at the last meeting of the regatta committee at the Potomac boat house. At this meeting the crews entered in the races will draw for positions, and the report of the weighing committee will be received. Final instructions will be given to the officers of the course, and everything possibie will be attended to in advance. It is expected that the course will be laid off early tomorrow morning. ‘The meas- urements have practically been made, and all that remains now to be done is to set the buoys carrying the marking flags and to anchor the stake boats. This work will be done under the supervisionjof Captain John Nolan of the Potomac Club, who is chair- man of the committee on course. Weighing the Crews. The weighing-in of the ¢érew the light-weight four-oared rac: place between 6 and 8 o'clock t at the Analostan house, which is the re- gatta headquarters. It will be hard work for some of the men assigned to these crews to get down to the limit of 125 pounds es- tablished for this classitication, and there entered in will take evening The Post Cup. is some lively training being done today in preparation for the assault on the scale Inasmuch as there are but two crews en- tered for the race, the Potomacs and Co- lumbias, there 1s a great rivalry, so that in all probability the committee will not be disposed to be lenient with the oarsmen in the matter of weight. The drawings for positions is often a very important matter when there are bends in the course and the river is filled with ob- stacles, but this course ts straight and the obstacles are all evenly distributed, in the form of the piefS of the Aqueduct bridge. ‘There is not much choice in this respect, and as the positions are drawn this evening there can be little choice as to the best places on account of the wind, as it cannot be foretold so far in advance from what direction the breeze will come. The Baltimoreans and Philadelphians The Ariels of Baltimore arrived today in good form ,and the Pennsylvania Barge Club of Philadelphia, which is to make a gallant fight to retain The Star cup, is ex- pected this evening. The Ariels are looked upon as the most dangerous competitors that the local crews have to face this year, for they have been doing some good work and the club has excellent material from The Mason Cup. which to make up a winning combination. The list of course officials was completed last evening by the appointment by the Columbia Club of R. J. Beall as timer and by the Analostar Club of A. B. Weakley to be a judge at the turn for that club. These appointments were omitted when the list Was made up a few days ago. The crews were on the river last evening until a late bour and good time was made. The oarsmen are watching each other very narrowly, in the hope of gaining points as to the form of opponents, but the training has been done without much boasting this year and it ts all guesswork as to the regu- lar form of the crews. The Columbla men probably have more confidence than ‘heir antagonists, but there has been good work done by both the Potomac and Analostan EDUILDING SALE! Wash « King’s Palace To Be Rebuiit.

Weather Conditions, All that remains now to insure a success- ful regatta a good assortment of weather. ‘The river has been in fine condi- tion for some days past, excepting that the afternoon storms have had a tendency to roughen the surface. During the midsum- mer thunder storms are liable to come up at about from 4 to 6 o'clock any afternoon, and the oarsmen, of course, must take their chances. The general weather conditions today are favorable for a pleasant after- noon tomorrow, but there is, of course, the ainty that always exists at this time of year. In the event of a thunder stcrm that makes the river too rough or that brings a downpour of rain, threatening the stability of the shells, the races will be, of course, postponed. In case of only a light rain, however, the races will continue. The exhibition of cups and medals in Moore & Leding’s window is attracting un- usual attention, and judging from the num- ber of people who stop to examine the beautiful trophies, which are herewith rep- resented, there is a very generai awakening of interest in the eveni, and the crowds on the river front tomorrow ought to be un- usually large. An extra force of police- men will probrbly be sent to patrol Aque- duct bridge to preserve order there, in view of the large crowds which are ex- pected to assemble on that structure for a vantage point of observation. Probably by far the greatest number of spectators attracted to the river will be gathered here, for from this place the en- tire cours: of all the races can be watched, The turn for the mile and a balf race is only about a quarter of a mile above the bridge, s> that it is an easy matter for these on the bridge to watch the crews from start to finish. The start for the eight-oared races will be made from a point just about abreast of the Three Sis- ters, making a straight row of a mile to the finish line, which is opposite the Po- tomac Club float. The Bartholdi, which will be used as the umpire’s boat, will leave the shore a little une! before 3, and holders of tickets entitling them to places on this craft should be on hand promptly in order that the races may | not be delayed. The first race will be/ started at 3 o'clock, and an effort will be made to keep the events going in their regular order without unnecessary waits, except between the junior and senior fours, when an intermission of thirty minutes may have to be taken to permit the Ariel crew a breathing spell. It is quite probable that during this pericd of delay there will be a race between water bicycies, should the river be smooth enough. The course for such an event will probably be from the starting line to the bridge and reiurn, or pethaps from the bridge down to the line. SWIMMING MATCH The Day and Hour for the Annual Bathing Beach Races, Superintendent Stevens of the bathing beach has decided on Thursday afternoon of next week as the time for the annual swimming contests. A race for women has been added to the list of events, with a fine musical instrument as a prize. The races will be started at 4 o'clock, and prior to that hour, when the tide is high, there will be thirty minutes for practice by the competitors, and for swimming exercises by all comers. Seats are being erected that will accommodate 300 people. THE NUREMBERG TOURNAMENT. Pillabury Winx Again and Goes Up the Lint.

Mishap in a Goat Race. The Northwestern Amateur Rowing As- sociation’s annual regatta opened yesterday below Trenton, near the mouth of the De- troit river. The only participants are De- troit river crews. In the junior four race the Detroit Club's oarsmen got into the Ecorse crew's water and the Detroit’s shell was ripped open for twelve inches by the other boat. The Detroit men were rescued from the sinking shell and Ecorse won the race, although the Detroits had been heav- ily backed. The Detroits won in the junior pairs over the Mutuals of Detroit by twen- ty lengths. Dr. N. T, Langiows of the Wyandotte Club the junior single scvil event easily. The Detroits were much ioo fast for the Mutuals in the junior double sculis and the latter stopped before reaching the finish. — Broken Lots Domet Skirts, | ~ tueks (extra width). ¥: Willgouts.-c 25¢C. t Bicycling Suggestions. To the Fattor of The Evening Star: The remarks of C. A. L. in The Star of yesterday have the true ring, and his ex- pressions relative to the “humpbacked sissy” are to the point. As a wheelman of over nineteen years’ continuous riding, and not having the pleasure of ever owning a horse, the writer appreciates, from observation only, the troubies of the so-called “road hog.” The disposition shown by the thousands of dudes and hoodlums who have taken up the wheel these latter days to dispute and quarrel over the so-called “right of way” has brought on the vast army of wheelmen a number of annoying regulations, which although irksome are necessary under the circumstances, causing the many to suffer for the indiscretion of the few. Not so very long ago the term wheel- man was synonymous with gentleman, and 4 certain so-called “freemasonry of the wheel” existed which banded all together, whether club man, as nearly all riders were, or unattached, in a fraternity which respected the rights of others, always be- lieving the mild, quiet manner the best. Often have we seen the wheelman mount and drag his wheel into the road- side bushes to allow the passage by of a horse unused to such a sight as the “good old ordinary,” and such a thing as disput- the right of way was unthought of. A true gentleman is known by his actions wherever he may be, and no position tests his raising more than when mounted on a wheel or dressed in shorts. The Commissioners are to be congratu- lated on the decided stand they have taken relative to the suppression of the “scorch- cr,” and ‘tis to be hoped the regulations will be enforced rigidly, that the novice may be convinced that all streets and roads are not race tracks. it has been suggested that a wheel should be accepted as collateral in event of arrest—certainly a proper idea—and but one thing remains to be added to our laws, that being to require every wheel to be lumbered and licensed at a nominal fee of > cents annually and make the registered owner (whether he be a renting dealer or not) responsible tor the violation of the law by the rider thereof. In that way only will the reckless hoodlum be suppressed and many dangers removed from the pathway of ihat much-abused being, the pedestrian, who generally prefers walking in the roa: way, probably because having been raised in sections not provided with sidewalks he formed the habit of walking with the other animals in the road, which he now finds it impossible to overcome, although he often is obliged to jump at the sound of the bell of ONE OF THE OLD CRANKS. Death of Carroll W. Smith. Carroll W. Smith of Anacostia, one of the District justices of the peace, and a mem- ber of the District bar, died at St. Eliza- beth’s Asylum at 5:16 yesterday afternoon, after an illness of six weeks. Mr. Smith was borr at Brandon, Vt., July 30, 1863, and was, therefore, just thirty- three years of age the day of his death. For several months he had been a sufferer from Bright's disease, and the disease and cverwork unsettled his mind to such an ex- tent that a few weeks ago he was placed in the asylum for treatment. For a time he was associated with Mr. Wm. A. Cook in the practice of law, and was regarded as a young man of much energy and many ac- complishments. He leaves a widow and two small children. His funeral will take place from the residence of his father, C. B. Smith, Pierce and Washington streets, Ana- costia, at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The interment will be made at the Congres- sional cemetery. 9 eee Louvre Glove Co., 919 F St. Chamois Gloves, { j \ | Our regular $1 qualities’ —guaranteed to wash—) this is extraordinary val-\ ~ Of Dressed & Undressed Kid Gloves!
