Y. NEW THIRD BASEMAN Horace Smith of the Atlantic City Club Secured. SPOKEN OF AS A NATURAL BALL PLAYER Farrell Will Cover First and Cart- wright Will Rest. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES ‘The Washington base ball fans who since the sale of Capt. Joyce to the New York club have been asking the question where ig the new third baseman that Mr. J. Earl Wagner promised to secure will now re- ceive an answer. For sor iays past a deal has been on, but was rs: « onsummated, for several reasons, until late this morn- ing. Washington will have a third base- man wno, it is claimed, is the equal of any wan in the business in fielding, batting and knowledge of the game. The new addition to the ranks of the Senators from whom so much is expected is Horace Smith, who fcrmerly played with the University of Pennsylvania team, and during the present season with the Atlantic City club. Ac- cording to ell reports, Smith is a natural ball player, and in addition to being a hard hitter and splendid fielder is a base runner with @ record. Up to the present time he has diligently refused all offers to play in the b.g league. Among others Arthur Irwin has been anxious to secure Smith and n.ade him many flattering offers, all of which were refused. A Description of Hin Style. Phil King and Lis brother Harry, who have played with Smith, have this to say about him: “He is fast enough for the big leag: His fielding is more phenomenal than is that of De Montreville and he is a superior hitter and base runner. He is an intelligent young man, about twenty-two years of age and possesses a base ball head lke an old timer. With a little experience fast company. Horace Smith, in our opinion, will be the equal of any third baseman in the league.” It was at the suggestion of Harry King that the services of Smith were secured. Mr. Wagner made a proposition to the young man, which was declined, principally heceuse the father of the new Senator is ngly oppesed to h's son playing pro- tonal base ball. The King boys, how- er, urged him to come to Washington, d, after thinking the matter over, he forwarded his terms. Mr. Wagner had in- quired if Smith was a player with nerve; he had no doubt on the subject, he says, when he opened the leiter and read tne terms. Young Smith's father ruled that if his son decided to play ball the laiter would have to stand the expense of completing his education. Therefore the amount de- sanded for salary for the few weeks of the base ball season remaining was equal to that paid many young players for the entire season. The matter of salary, how- ever, was compromised, and unless the sent plang go wrong Smith will cover dbase for Washington in the games tomorrow with Cleveland at National Park. Farrell to Go to First. not unlikely that when the new baseman reports for duty Charlie rrell will be transferred to first base and Cartwright given a rest in the hope that-he may recover his batting eye. Smith is taking the regular course at the Univers- ity Pennsylvania, and will graduate at he close of the coming year. If, as has heen stated, he ts In De Montreville’s class he management of the Washington club say that he will answer all demands. His record has heen carefully watched for some time past and is said to be all that could be desired. It has shown Smith to have been very much in every game. He has sr failed to make two or three hits, and Jed beautifully, usuaily without any is Record of the Clubs. * W. L. P.C.) clubs. wW. L. PC. + 67 29 .G08/Philadelphia. 43 G3 448 + 83 30.64!

Through the courtesy of President Robison of the Cieveland club, it will be made ladies’ day, and all of the fair sex holding cards are to have free access to the grounds and grand stand. It is an accepted rule that ball players are superstitious.

Giants Give the Senators Another Kick Dowm the Ladder. Mr. William Joyce, he who is the man- ager-captain of the New York base ball club, had the satisfaction of again vesterday aa- ministering defeat to his erstwhil2 com- rades, now endeavoring to interpret a cer- tain code of signals arranged by Mr. Gus Schmeiz. Lester German was put In to twirl, and the once Giant proved to be just what New York was looking for. When Joyce became aware of the personnel of the Washington battery he thought it would be a good chance to introduce his latest acqui- sition, a young man bearing the »nusual cognomen, Gettig. Although not invincible, Mr. Gettig had somewhat the better of the wrestling match with Mr. German. Mr. Umpire Conahan made his debut in the metropolis and did good work. The Giants started the run getting in the first, scoring three times. Washingion sort of got together In the second, and the spec- tators began to wonder somewhat about the result. Five runs were tallied, as follows: Farrell hit for a base, O’Brien waited tor balls, Brown sacrificed, Cariwright beat an infield hit to first, Ger: and Lush singled, Selbach also beat a ball to irst. New York Was not discouraged by this lively little seance, however. In the second, third, fifth and sixth innings they piled up twelve more runs. Washington succeeded in adding teur more, but was not in it so far as victory was concerned. In the sixth, with two on bases and two strikes called, Joyce tapped the sphere for a homer. As 2 batting matinee the game was interesting. Beckley also got a home run; Van Haltren came to the front with a three-bagger, and two-base hits were chalked up opposite the names of Tiernan, Gettig, Lush, Brown and German.

Tebeau and his Spiders will be the attraction. The famous goat at the Philadelphia grounds has ceased to “graze on.” In speaking of the double defeat of the Phillies yesterday, the Philadelphia Times declares: “It Killed the goat.” = In the fourth inning of the game Captain Joyce had the m:sfortune to miss a high foul fly, well over toward the visitors bench, and Mr. Schmelz’s whiskers stood out upon his face like the quills of a percu- pine in action. In the sixth inning Mr. Joyce’s turn came. “Scrapacus” landed the ball out near the score board for a home run, and as he crossed the plate he couid not ret the temptation. Turning, he shrieked: “How's that, Schmelz?" Mr. Schmelz refused to be interviewed, but he looked as if he thought it was h—, well, hard, very hard.—New York Herald. FATALITY AT A BALL GAME. A Bat Slipped and Struck Albert Gants om the Head. Albert Gantz met with a probably fatal accident while playing base ball in a grove back of Troy Hill, Pittsburg, yesterday. A bat slipped from the hands of Anthony Barto, one of his playmates, and struck him on the head. It is thought his skull is fractured and he cannot recover. ‘There was a match game being played by two nines of boys, none of whom were over fifteen. years of age. The Gantz and Barto boys were the battery for the Troy Hil! Juniors. Their oppcnents were the East Street Stars. The game had pro- ded until the iast half of the seventh in- ning. At this juncture the East street boys were two runs to the good. The hill beys had the bases full, with two men out. Barto was at the bat. ‘two strikes and three bails had been called by the umpire, and it was in an en- deavor to clear the bases that the bat slipped from his hand. He did not connect with the ball, but did with his pitcher, who was standing near the home plate, urging him to “kill it.” The bat struck Ganiz over the left ear, cutting a frightful gash and rendering him unconscious. The game was stopped, and young Ganiz taken to his home. Dr. McGee sewed up the wound. The young victim, in his opinion, has a poor chance for recovery. NEARLY KILLED THE UMPIRE. Gave a Rank Decision and Then Had to Arm His Favorites With Pistols, A game of base ball played at Poplar Greve, near Helena, Ark., Sunday, between colored teams for a stake of $5, broke up in a pitched battle between the opposing teams, in which two boys were fatally shot and four others mére or less wounded. Negro boys from the Polk and Lowdy plantations constituted the teams. William Griffin, the umpire, and an adherent of the Polk side, held the stakes. In the third inning Griffin gave the Lowdy team the hot end of a close decision, and the aggrieved team, led by Israel Tate, made a rush for the umpire and his son, who was acting as official scorer. The um- pire was prepared for the allack, however. He opened a vaiise and paseed pistols to members of the Polk team, aud the battle began. Israel Tate was the only man on the Lowdy team that had a gun, but he did effective work. He emptied his pistol into the Polk team, reloaded and emptied it again. He ts credited/With having shot four men. ‘Won by the-Shamrocka. The Shamrocks hag no difficulty in best- ing the Market House nine yesterday after- noon at National Park. Neither side scored during the first two innings, but in the third the Shamrocks took the lead with @ burst of energy, and the result was never in doubt for a mom thereafter.

This story has been placed fn circulation as a result of the bad luck his string had early in the season. His youngsters, all of whom were by Emperor of Norfolk and The Hook, be- came sick soon after reaching St. Louis and were very slow about rounding into form. Recently, however, they have been winning some races at Latonia and De- troit. Baldwin has always had marvelous suc- cess in racing, so that a year of misfortune is something to which he is unaccustomed. His breeding operations have always turned out well, however, and his sale of Rey Del Caroreres and Ray Del Santa Anita to Mr. Croker netted him a tidy sum last year. It fs settled that he will not abandon the breeding of horses. Whether he will discontinue racing or not is sometiing he will decide during the winter. His decision will probably depend a deal on whether he can secure a compe- tent trainer and jockey. ~ CROQUET. Playing for the Championship Be gins Today at Norwich, Conn. From the New York Sun, NORWICH, Conn., August 17.—There is every prospect, the experts say, that the fifteenth annual tournament of the Na- tional Croquet Association, which begins in this city tomorrow, will be one of the most enthusiastic and successful in the history of the organization. The courts, eight in number, have been graded, lev- eled and polished, so that they are just about as smooth and hard and eiastic as the floor of a billiard table. A great deal of time and money has been expended on them by the local club members of the as- scciation, and they are now entirely satis- factory to the most exacting croquet sharps. They are, without a doubt, the most perfect grounds in the world, with the possible exception of the beautiful ind firished croquet field at Cottage City, Mar- tha's Vineyard. About all the old crack players and champions of past years have announced thelr intention to take part in the forth- ¢cming tournament, many of whom arrived here today. A number of new knights have entered the field this year, who as yet have championship spurs to win. Two one-armed men are entered in the lists this year, They are Mr. Wahly, sr., of Washington, father of W. H. Waily, and Mr. Colman, also of Washington. Both are remarkably skillful players and can beat many cracks who have two hands to depend upon. Colman'in particular is a wonderful shot, and 13 Mkely to be heard from later on. Prof, Charles Jacobus of Springfield, the best known croquet player in the country, will not be here, owing to business affairs that call. him elsewhere. Without him the tournament will be rob- bed of considerable intérest, and there are other old-time croguet stars who will be greatly missed; but the officers are counting on new and young blood, of which there bids fair to be consfderable this year. I. F. Wood of Ontario, Cal., the first Califor- nia man who ever played at the national meet, is here and will take part. Crieket. Assisted by E. G. Ryker and “Duke’ Collins of Toronto, the Homestead, Pa., cricketers played the Hamilton eleven at the Hamilton, Ont,, cricket grounds yes- terday, and were defeated by 174 runs, The home team batted first and made 237, the highest scores being: Fleet, 62; Coua- sell, 45; D. M. Martin, 40. The visitors made 68, McPherson contributing 19 and Ryker 11. Homestead followed on their second inning, making 94 for six wickets when the time was called. The best scores oe Ryker, 41; Ruddeg, 5, and Watkins, At a meeting last night of the executive committee of the Canadian Cricket Asso- ciation at Toronto the following team was chosen to represent Canada in the interna- tional match to be piayed in Philadelphia September 4 and following days: W. H. Cooper, Toronto; A. Gillespie, Hamilton; P. C, Goldingham, Toronto; W. A. Henry, Halifax (captain); J. Horstead, Chatham; j J. M. Land, Torontc; Fritz Martin, Ham- ilton; J. A. Mackintosh, Halifax; H. B. McGilvern, Hamilton; Geo. 8. Lyon, Rose- dale; H. A. Walker, London Asylum. A Local Mill Arrangea. The local sporting element were given a tip yesterday that a mill would be pulled off at Bladensburg, Md., last evening, and a few of the faithful journeyed there, only to discover that the thirg had fallen through. It is rumcred that Howard Wil- fon, the negro pugilist, and the ‘Boston Boy,” a white fighter from the city of beans and brown bread, have been matched for a go in this vicinity in a few days. Beacon Lights Will Be in Line. The Beacon Light Bicycle Club met last night at its usual place of meeting, 410 L street northwest, and decided that all the members should take part in the parade on the 24th Instant, under Capt. C. E. Williams, assisted by Mr. Wm. 8. Hawkins and Mr. J. H. Penrose. Mr. W. H. Ward, alsv a member of the Beacon Lights, who has just returned from Bys- ton, will decorate the wheels for the oc- casion. United Wheelmen. The board of governors of the United Wheelmen will hold a meeting tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock at the club house of the Potomac Boat Club, at the foot of 31st street. Pool. Wm. Talbot of Georgetown has issued a challenge to Bernard Harding for a game of pool, Harding to make 160 balls to Tal- bot’s 100. The game will come off tomor- row evening at Walcott’s, Colonial Beach. Homing Pigeons, At a meeting of the Capital City Flying Club last night at the club headquarters the young bird schedule was adopted. Al- len C. McLain was-elected race secretary vice Mr. N. 8.

WORKHOUSE CANDIDATES “Boss,” said one of the colored victims in the toils this morning, “I ain't gwine ter come here any mo’ if de driver of Jat ‘Maria’ don’t come for us earlier in de mornin’. Here ‘tis 9 o'clock, and we’s jes’ gettin’ breakfas’. You knows dat when a man what ain’t got no teeth have ter eat his vittles in a hurry, ‘tain’t gwine ter do him no good, and he’s mighty ap’ ter get de "spepsia. I'se gwine ter tell yer fer de last time dat if I ain’t given better treatment T'se gwine ter stay away.” Seated on the front seat of the “Black Maria” was an elderly colored man, who wore an army blouse, white vest and brass buttons. In his hand he carried a small cane. He was the only favored prisoner, for he was not made to ride in the vehicle. “I'm here,” he said, as he alighted from the vehicle, “and I’m going to answer the roll of glory in the morning.” “Why are you here this morning?” he was asked. Anti-Bicyele Profanity. “Why am I here?” he retorted. “I’m here for nothing in the world except that I was arrested. Last night I was coming down 10th street, when a white man an? woman came along. The woman tried to break my leg with a bicycle.” “And did you swear?” “As God is my judge, I never used any cuss words. You gentlemen know that if I cussed I couldn't get to heaven, and that’s where I want to go.” This man is John W. Shelton, a furniture mover, and it is said that he ts worth about $20,000. But his parents say he 1s a relig- ious crank, and Lawyer Ricks says he once made a loan of $5,000 to a church, and this transaction has worried him considerably. “T ain’t guilty,” said the old man, when arraigned. A citizen bicycle rider appeared in court and told Judge Scott that last night Shelton got too near a bicycle ridden by a lady friend, and for this he became loud and abusive. “Did he use any profanity?” the court asked. “I didn’t hear any,” was the witness’ re- sponse, ‘“‘but he was abusive.” Shelton was then sworn to tell the truth, and, lifting his right hand, he said: “It's the truth as sure as there {s a God in glory You see, judge, I know the law, and I al- Ways keep to the right. These people on bicycles don’t keep to the right no time, and when the lady stole up and hit me on the leg the man taken the wings of the morning on his bicycle and left.” “My client is crazy on the subject of re- gion,” said Lawyer Ricks, “and he preach- ¢s and prays on the street as if he were an evangelist.” “He does lots of queer things,” said a young man who appeared in a friendly capacity, “and his wife 1s desirous of hav- ing him examined. He sweeps people down with a broom, whitewashes the pavement and stops bicycles on the street. Ricks asked that Shelton }:e held examination, and his request was granted. But later Lawyer Holland called attention to the case, and argued that the court had no authority to commit an alleged insane man to the workhouse. ‘The prison, he said, is not a proper place for persons who are not of sound mind. Judge Scott listencd to the argumeni of counsel, and said he would take the mat ter under advisement and give his opinion later on. Veteran in Trouble. Michael Lanhady, an oid offender, who prefers Mquor drinking and life on the farm to a home at Hampton, was released from the farm Friday on his good behavior and this morning he was in the tolls again. During recent days Mike has performed little if any manual labor, but he manages to get what rum he wants and then he is certain to fall into the hands of the police. “What's the charge this time?” “Disorderly conduct.” “Is that all?” Mike was very much surprised at the nature of the charge and he willingly said, “I'm guilty. He had expected to hear the usual charge, vagrancy, but he had no complaint to make, because under the charge against him the court fined him only $ or 15 and at the end of the two weeks he will again have a chance to get some liquor. William Bird was in the procession, and the arm of the law had 60 badly wounded him that he could not fly away. But he was willing to go down on the farm, where there !3 plenty of water and where he will probably have a-chaace to ream about the watermelon patches and fruit orchards. “I'm guilty,” he answered when arraign- ed on a charge of vagrancy, “and have nothing to say.” ‘Bird hasn't worked for a long time,” said the officer who arrested him, “and he won't work. He has been sent to jail for stealing, and he’s really no good in the world.” ‘Well, Bird,” said ue court, “this is a serious accusation against you. What have you to say about it?” “J ain't got nothing to say,” answer. “You will have to give bonds in the sum of $200,” said the judge, “or go down for six months.” ‘And Bird went down to the place where blackbirds will be slaughtered in a few days. was his Idle and Disorderly. James Fitzpatrick, a young man, was also before the court as a vagrant, and he, too, admitted that he had no excuse for being at large. “This young man hangs about the streets all the time,” the policeman sald, “and he says he does not intend to work. “Six months.” Lena Carter and Harriet Ward, young colored women, were in the procession on a charge of disorderly conduct, and the po- liceman told of their actions on the street last night. 3 “They were growling at each other,” the officer sald, “‘and each was telling the other what she would do in event of certain things happening.” “We had some words,” one of the women said, “but, ‘deed, judge, we didn’t intend.to fight. This is the first time I've ever been in court, and I hope you won't send me down this time.” “And what have you got to say?” the other woman was asked. “This is the first time I ever was ar- rested,” was her response. “and@I wish you would take my personal bonds.”” “Both of you made a bad start,” the told them, “and you are fined $5 ‘A Charge of Colliding. Sarah Poindexter, colored, who hired a bicycle last night, and then collided with Mrs. Young's baby carriage, was in court on a charge of colliding. “I don’t want Mrs. Poindexter fined, be- cause she didn’t hurt my twin babies,” said Mrs. Young, “but I do think she oughi to pay me $10 for my carriage. husband's out of work, and I can't afford to buy a new carriage.” “’Twasn't my fault,” said Mrs. Poindex- ter. ‘It was an accident, and I couldn't help it. A hack got in my way, and I had to change my course to-keep from getting run over.” “There was no hack there,” said Police- man Flynn. “The accident happened in front of my house, and I thought the twin babies werc killed.” Judge Scott thought the rider of the bi- cycle should pay the damages, but all he could do was to impose a fine. The penalty was &. : Thomas E. Pruitt, the tinner, was in court because the police charged that his horse had eaten the bark from a tree. “My hcrse won't eat bark from a tree,” said the defendant, “and I doubt the evi- dence of the police. I've got the best lit- tle horse in the world.” ‘Five dollars,” said Judge Scott. “I wouldn't mind the fine if I was Mke all Uving. things, when overworked, it stops at length from sheer exhaustion. ‘There may not be an actually diseased condition as yet. Still it 4s nature's warning, and you must heed it or worse will follow. “But I must eat or starve,” you say. ‘True enough, but safety usually lies in middle courses. Here is one for you.

Trouble With Garbage. Thomas R. Riley was in court, he said, lecause he made an effort to obey the order of the health officer and by so doing waz made a victim of the police. Mr. Riley has the fish wharf this season, and at this time there fs an accumulation of watermelon rinds on the wharf. “The garbage contractor won't remove the rinds,” said Mr. Riley, “and when we sent them to the garbage wharf they were refused.” Then he said he was told by the health department that he would have to haul away the garbage and for so doing this prosecution was instituted. “What am I to do now?" he asked. “The authorities won't remove them, they won't let_ me remove them, and if I throw them in the river I will get arrested.” Mr. Pugh suggested that he get the nec- essary permit and that he haul the garbaze in the proper kind of a wagon. A fine of $ was imposed. Della Harris, colored, arrested in “Division” as a vagrant, was tried and ac- quitted. no appeal allowed and the — s4IL HAMILTON DEAD. Miss Dodge Did Not R ness Afier Sunday's Miss Mary Abigall Dodge, better known as “Gail Hamiltcn,” the writer, whose rious condition was announced in yester- day’s Star, died at 9 o'clock last night at her home at Hamilton, Mass. Sunday morning she sustained a stroke of paraly- sis while sitting at the breakfast table and fell from her chair. She was picked up in an unconacious condition and re- mained so until her ¢eath. Miss Dodge had a similar shock while in Washington about a year ago. Miss Au- gusta Dodge and other relatives were at the bedside when the end came. Too much work in mailing her last book, “The Vezl- ley of Death,” during the hot weather, broke her strength. Gail Hamilton's Career. Miss Mary Abigail Dodge, writer, biogra- pher and controversialist widely known under the pen name of “Gail Hamilton,” was a native of the town in which she died, having been born in 1830. At the age of ten years she went to Dr. Clark's pri- vate school in Cambridge. Bhe was grad- uated from Ipswich Academy at the age of twenty. In I she went to Hartford as essistant in the Hartford High School. She refused to take the customary exami; ticn, but was given the position withou ¢oing so. She was also instructor in phy- sical science in this school for several years, and was subsequently governess in the family of Dr. Gamalicl Bailey in this city, the editor of the National Era, to which paper she became a contributor. In 180 ne was one of the editors of Our Young Folks, a magazine published in Boston. From 1570 until a Mttle over a year ago she had lived most of the time with her cousin, Mrs. James G. Blaine, .n this city. In the course of this daily con- tact with the Blaine family Miss Dodge was led into a very close friendship with Mr. Blaine and at the death of the latter she became his Mterary executor, being i possession of all his papers and documents of value to he- as his authorized biogra- pher. She was engaged, as frequently a: her health would permit, on Mr. Blaine biography from the time of his death ur Ul her illness of last year. Since the illness which came on so sud- denly in the Blaine mansion, Miss Dodie lived quietly at her old home at Hamilton, Mass. Gail Hamilton was a frequent contrib tor to prominent magazines, and her p) lished works, written in a witty and ag- gressive style, consist largely of sei Uons from her contributions. Her books include “Country Living and Country Thinking,” “Gala Days,” “New Atmo: phere and Stumbling Blocks,” Skirmishes and Sketche: Red Letter Days and Ap- plethorp’ d_ “Summer Rest,” “Wool Gatherin ‘Woman's Wrongs,” “A Coun- ter Irritant,” “Battle of Books,” “Woman's Worth and Worthiness,” “Little Foik Life,” “Child World,” “Twelve Miles Prom a_Lemon,” “Summons for the Clergy,” “First Love is Best,” “What Think Ye o! Christ?” “Our Common School System, - ‘Memorial to Alien W Dodge” and “‘Insuppressive Book.” In 1887 she wrote a series of letters on civil service reform for a New York pa- per. Letters on a wide range of public questions, written for the Boston Journal, were widely copied throughout the United States. Miss Dodge's one novel, “First Love is Bes had not the success which attended some of her other works. During recent years she engaged in political writ- ing, and many famous review ariicles and political “interviews” were accredited tu her, which roused much warm discus: and exerted more or less infiuence upen na tional politics.
