York ran away yesterday after- ncon and dashed into the iron posts and the telegraph poles at the corner of 9th street and New York avenue, smashing the car- riage to pieces. The horse finally struck a lamp post and drove a piece of the carriage shaft into its breast, making a wound that rendered it necessary to shoot him. The cause of the runaway seems to have been the carelessness of a driver of a brick wagon. Mr. York had left his horse stand- ing in front of 914 Massachusetts avenue with the reins around a post, when the pessing brick wagon hit the carriage and frightened the horse. It is said the driver of the wagon was asleep on his seat. IF YOU LACK ENERGY Take Horsford’s Avid Phosphate.

It was a curious coincidence that Baltt- more should shut Washington out twice in succession by the same score, seven to nothing. It is also a bit curious that the Statesmen have not scored a run since the Joyce-Farrell dea!. Those few who saw the game yesterday at National Park may have found the reason. It was certainly apparent to all, even probably to Mr. Schmelz on the bench, that the team lacked a directing genius, an inspiring head, who should give advice and direction in_ thick of the conflict. There were several listless stupid plays that had an effect on the re- sult. The hitting of the home team was desultory and weak. Hemming was not powerfully effective. He struck out only one man, but when the locals hit the bail they sent ic in the air, with the result that Charles Farrell. eighteen of the twenty-seven put-outs of the game were on files, nine to the outfleld and nine to the infield. Those figures tell the tale more effectively than words. A fitting example of the lack of team baiting was the case of the sixth inning. Lush and DeMontreville led off with singles. The next three men popped up easy flies and the side was retired without giving Lush a chance to get beyond second. No one will ever understand to perfect isfaction why German was sent in to sin the pitching. He officiated Friday against Baltimore. He expressed great surprise when he got his orders. Baltimore hit him safely for a single, a double and a triple, besides a se e, In the first inning and then Mr. Schmelz came to the conclu- sion that he had made a mistake, and sent in McJames, who pitched splendid ball. Had he been given snappy support he might have shut out the visitors during the rest of the game, but there was no life“in the team, and ioward the close he caught the fever of Inertia and slowed down. Umpire Sheridan made his debut before a yashington crowd, and right well did he entertain them with his fughorn voice. One of the grand-stand rooters remarked that Phil Sheridan might easily have been “twenty miles away” and yet have shouted his orders with that voice so as to be heard by his troops. Sheridan's decisions were fair, though he incurred the displeasure of the fans in the second inning by declaring Donnelly safe at second because DeMontre- ville dropped McGuire's throw. The play was close and quick and few of the spec- tators saw it. Sheridan, however, was at the base, and his decision was probably all right. He evened up in the sixth when he called Keeler out at the plate on a play that might be considered close by some folks. There is nothing to tell about Washing- ton’s rungetting. The nearest approach to that sort of thing was in the first inning, when Lush went down on balls, reached second on Selbach’s foul out, which Clark caught at the stand, and third on a passed ball. But the hit to score him failed to arrive. In the second O’Brien hit safely with one out and went ahead on Brown's sacrifice, but Cartwright tried to perforate the sky and falled. In the fourth Selbach hit out a pretty single and was doubled when Hemming stopped McGuire's bound- er, and two men died ignominious The sad tale of how two good hits were wasted in the sixth has already been told. Baltimore took two runs in the first inn- ing. Kelley hit to deep right center for three bases and scored on Keeler’s single dewn the right foul line. Jennings sacri- ficed, and after Doyle had struck out Reitz hit to right center fcr two bases, and was caught between second and third after Keeler had scored. Lush made beautiful throws on both Kelley’s and Reitz’s hit. The first ilme Chariey Farrell seemed to be asleep, for he had plenty of chance to tag Kelley, but missed his opportunity. The throw-in of Reitz’s hit was straight as an arrow. Another run went up on the board for Baltimore in the second. With Brodie out Donnelly reached first on O'Brien's fumble and stole second, being declared safe on the close play. He then scored on Clark's rat- tling double over DeMontreville’s head. Hemming sacrificed Clark to third, but Kel- ley filed to Brown. After that McJames had the Orioles at his mercy for three innings. In the sixth Keeler bounded a nasty little hit between McJames and Far- rell that went safe, and Jennings put a fly back of first that no one could reach. Keeler reached third on the play and was neatly thrown out at the plate by McGuire and DeMontreville when Jennings stole. Doyle then pasted a hard rap into right for a base that Lush tried to catch on the for- ward run. He fumbled, and Jennings scored and Doyle reached second, being hit hard on the foot by Lush’s throw. Jen- nings promptly stole third on the first pitch, and agein Farrell looked and acted like a man in a trance. Reitz filed out to Brown and Jennings tallied. Then Brodie hit to right for a base, but Donnelly struck out. In the eighth Baltimore got two more tallies. Keeler put a bounder down by first that O’Brien could easily have reach- ed, but Cartwright seemed to be suddenly imbued with a desire to do something and went after the ball. He got it, but there was no one to throw it to, and Keeler was safe. Jennings sacrificed him along a base and Doyle was presented with the right to walk. Reitz struck out, and then Brodie hit a vicious one that O'Brien stopped gallantly. He could not hold it, however, ard the bases were filled. Two runs came in when Donnelly lifted a high one into right that fell barely safe, hitting the rail and bounding back. Lush made a good try, but could not quite reach the ball. Then Clark struck out, The game was devoid of features save for the brilliant work of DeMontreville and Cartwright on ea play in the fifth inning, when for once there appeared to be some spirit in the nine. With one out Hernming hit a savage bounder that first caromed off McJames’ hand and then started for center field. DeMontreville cantered over and got the ball south of second base and threw it, on the run, to Cartwright, who got it high in the air with one hand, and the runner was out. One of the poorest features of the game, on the other hand, was the attempted sacri- ficing of DeMontreville and O’Brien. They tried to bunt high pitches, with the result an that they pop; up balls that were caught.

The Weshingtons play a postponed game in New York today. Catcher Clark of Baltimore is heartily hated by Washington's women fans. ‘A great cheer went up from the rooters when the score board showed New York's victory. Farrell took all his four fielding chances. O’Brien had several easy chances and took all of them, but two came his way that were difficult, and he missed them both. There were loud calls for Schmelz when the New York score appeared. The rooters in the stand cannot forgive him for sitting in Joyce's seat on the bench. Joyce made four singles out of four times at bat yesterday, and scored two runs. He also made two outs and five assists, besides stealing a base. He electrified the crowd by his snappy work. McGuire tried hard to score Selbach in the fourth inning, after the Baron had hit out a nice single to center. He swatted out the sphere to right field several times, and drew foul after foul. Then he grew tired and brought his bat around lazily and sent a soft one down to Hemming that that worthy got with one hand. In the sixth inning, when two men had hit safely and no one out, the word was passed from the bench to Selbach to line out the ball instead of trying to sacrif Selbach obeyed, and flied to Jennings. As he walked back to the bench there was a smile on his good-natured face that be- tokened the entire absence of a feeling of responsibility. When King was injured in the west it was thought that his arm was only wrencned and strained. He nursed it diligently ‘or two weeks, and yesterday morning, finding that it grew no stronger, he consulted a surgeon, who examined it thoroughly and discovered that one of the small bones was broken. He accordingly put the wounded limb up in a splint and a sling, and warned “Silver’’ not to use it for some time. This puts King out of the game for at least two or three weeks, and perhaps for the rest of the season. The bunting department of the Statesmen needs renovating. The men try for high pitches, that ate almost sure to rise when hit, and twice yesterday the easiest kind of chances went to Baltimore's fielders on this kind of sacrificing. Brown seems to be the only man who has mastered the bunt- ing art, although ‘at times De Montreville makes some beautiful little hits along the line. McJames did some fine work yester- day in fielding short bunts toward first, get- ting his men out each time. ‘The lack of enthusiasm among the rooters was strongly evidenced yesterday when the old “lucky” seventh came along. Time was, only last week, when every man, woman and child in the grounds loyal to Washing- ton would stand up at this juncture, but yesterday the seventh came and one or two women in the stand arose from force of habit. Then, seeing that no one else had followed them, they sat down again, in a shame-faced manner, and apologized to their friends for this breach of the new order of things. It seems that the reason Jimmy McJames did not go in the game until the second inning yesterday was because he took a map and no one woke him up. When the game started he was not on hand. He was hastily sent for, and went into the box without having pitched a preliminary ball.

Changes in the Hlinois Democratic State Committee. Governor Altgeld’s free silver state com- mittee yesterday at Chicago ousted the gold men in that organization who had not taken the precaution to send in their resig- nations. Three resignations of gold demo- crats were accepted, and the places of all five were filled by democrats favoring free silver. Ex-Congressman and ex-National Com- mitteeman Ben T. Cable is fishing in the wilds of Wisconsin with Controller James H. Eckeis, and when he returns he will find A. W. Basyian of Rock Island in his place. Ex-Congressman William 8. Fore- man of East St. Louis was also ousted without ceremony, being succeeded by Frank W. Havill. R. E. Spangler passed in his resignation just in time to escape a similar fate, following the example of ex-Mayor John P. Hopkins and Judge A. A. Goodrich, who resigned last week. All the gold men except Goodrich were members-at-large, and their terms would have continued’ until January 1, 1897. Goodrich represented a Chicago district. The new members are A. S. Trude, candi- date for attorney general; Carter Harrison, jr., Alexander J. Jones, ‘besides those a ready named. Aside from expelling the gold men, the committee did little work ex- cept hear reports from various parts of the siate, which were said to be favorable to the free silver fight. ———_+2-+-___ Major H.
