Washingtons Fattened Their Aver- ages on a New Louisville Pitcher. The girls were at National Park yester- day afternoon in large numbers, but the attendance of the male patrons was only fair. There was nothing to be gained by the winning or losing of the games in the matter of position, both clubs being an- chored in tenth and twelfth place, so that those who turned out were the dyed-in-the- wool base ball enthusiasts. The first game was as pretty an exhibi- tion of the national sport as could be de- sired up until the ending of the fifth in- ning. Prior to that a new pitcher In the league, named Emig, did remarkavle work, but one hit being secured off of his de- livery, but In the fifth a sequence of er- rors, bases on balls and hits made their appearance and the young man had met his Waterloo, rine runs being scored by the home club. With proper support and encouraging coaching Emig should prove a good one, as he handles himself like a ball player, both as to nerve and judg- ment. The features of the first game were the kable catches in center field by Pick- ering, one great stop by Smith at third and the batting brace taken on by Ed Cartwright. Farrell fell a victim to Pick- ering three times cn apparently safe hits, but a fourth one, hit in the same direction, fell safe and the big catcher landed on se r d. Smith made a remarkable play at third on the first ball hit by Miller in the first inning. The ball was a screamer and look- ed all over to be good for two bases, but the plucky little collegian made a dive for the ball, partially stopping it with his right ungloved hand, and then regained the ball and threw Miller, who is a speedy runner, out at first. This ball must have punished Smith severely, for the remainder of the game he tacked on balls which he usually runs in on, and as a consequence lost several balls of the kind he generally smothers. Big Ed Cartwright has legions of friends among the enthusiasts, who are hoping continually that he will get his eye on the ball, as his flelding is beyond reproach. Yesterday was Ed's day. A home run and two timely singles rang off of his bat, sending in runs, and a great shout went up, but Eddy refused to doff his cap; he had not forgotten the many roasts given him in days gone by. All the players were tickled over the big boy's batting streak. The Louisvilles failed to get a man over the plate until the ninth inning. A base on balls and a safe hit landed two men on base These runners were 2ntirely neg- lected, as the home club was playing solely for a shut out, and hoped to retire the bat- ter, consequently they moved up and a cupted second and third unmolested. Pick- ering proved to be the right man, for he plunked out one of King’s twisters for two bases and later came over the home plate on a single, scoring the third and last run of the game. The Senators scored their first run in the third inning, a base on balls, Rogers’ error, a double steal and a sacrifice to the out- field being responsible for the tally. Their second scores, nine in number, came in the fifth. Lush went to first on balls, De Mont beat out a bunt, Emig fumbled Selbach’s grounder and the bases were filled. Farrell then rapped out a two-base hit, sending in two runs, Selbach scoring on the throw home. Smith then soaked a singic to right and Farrell scored. O’Brien walked, Brown struck out, Cartwright made a’ single, Smith scoring. An error let O'Brien over the plate. Cartwright scored on an infteld hit. Lush again walked to first, and he and King came home on a hit lost in the sun by Pickering. Three more runs came in in the sixth on a combination of safe hits by Brown, Cartwright and King and an error by Rogers. The slaughter was wound up in the eighth with four more runs, Brown making a single, Cartwright a homer into the bleachers, King a two-bagger, De Mort being hit by pitcher and Farrell clearing the bases with a two-bagger. Following is the score of the first game: WASHINGTON. LOUISVILLE. R-H.O.A.

The second game was by no means such a walk-over as the first. Washington man- aged to win, but by the narrow margin of one run. The game was not marked by any exceptionally brilliant plays, but there were several palpable errors that should not have occurred. McJames and Frazer were the pitchers, while McGuire and Dex- ter did the back-stopping. In the fourth inning Selbach was struck on the arm by a pitched ball and retired from the game, Lush going to left field and Abbey to right. A line drive from Clark's bat in the eighth struck McJames just above the knee, and he lay prostrate for several minutes, but pluckily continued to play. The hits were evenly distributed, both pitchers being on a r. SL anieuiiie scored a run in the first Inning, Clark reaching first on balls and tallying on Rogers’ two-bagger to center. occurred in the fourth on a hit by Clark, an error by De Montreville and a hit by Pick- | ering. Washington in the fourth scored three, Selbach and Smith being hit by the ball and McGuire and O'Brien singling. An- other was chalked up in the fifth on De Montreville’s single, a fly-out and a hit by McGuire. This placed the home club two runs to the good, but Louisville tled the score in the sixth. McCreary led off with a two-bagger and went to third on Clark's out at first. Rogers hit the ball for three bases and McCreary crossed the plate. Jim- my also scored when Cartwright’s error allowed Pickering to reach first. The locals forged to the front again in the seventh. Lush, the first batter, hit safely for one base and proceeded to third when Frazer made a wild pitch. De Mon- | treville singled and f.ush scored. Gene stole second and completed the circuit when McGuire sent the ball to the center of the diamond. That was all for Washington. Louisville pulled dangerously near in the eighth, their total being raised to five on a base on balls, a hit, a fly-out and a throw- out. The Colonels were easily disposed of in the ninth and then took their departure until 1897. The score WASHINGTON. LOUISVILLE. RH R.H.O.AE.

An extraordinary duel, which at the time created an immense Sensation, was one in which the decision was arrived at, not by swords or pistols, but by Means of a@ deadly poison. The men—who, it is hardly necessary to say, had fallen out over a lady—had left the arrangement of details to their seconds, and until they faced each other they did not know by what method they were to settle their, dit- ferences. One of the seconds was a doc- tor, and he had made up for the occasfon four black pellets, all identical in size and shape. “In one of these," he sald, “I have placed a sufficient quantity of prussic acid to cause the almost instantaneous death of any one who swallows it. We will de- cide by the toss of a coin which of you is to have first choice, and you will altern- ately draw and swallow a pill until the poison shows its effects.” Two of the Pel- lets were then taken as the toss had de- cided, but without effect in either case. “This time,” said the doctor, speaking of the two pellets remaining, “you must both swallow the pill at the same instant.” The choice was cee made, and in a few sec- onds one of the men lay dead on the grass. (7 WITU.OFFLEY THE UNITED WHEELMEN An Organization That Aims to Promote the Tnterests of Bicyclers. What Has Already Been Accomplished and the Plans for the Future— About the Officers. The United Wheelmen, though only a few months old, are rapidly gaining in strength. The real hard work has not been started in earnest, though already the efforts of the organization have resulted in considerable good to all of the cyclists of the city. The good work will be continued, and the or- ganization, it is expected, will increase in numbers solely upon its merits. The need of such an organization has long been felt. The movement to organize such a body really began last year, when it was talked of among a number of prom- inent local wheelmen, all of whom were as a unit on the subject. The crusade of this year against cyclists by the non-riding public, and the threatening legislation, which would cripple the privileges of the wheelmen to a greater extent than deem- ed just, were the sole causes that hasten- ed the organization of this association. The preliminary meetings were held at the business place of Mr. William Hayden Henshaw, 510 11th street, one of the en- thuslastic men behind the scheme, who showed his interest In the proposed union by permitting the free use of his estab- lishment for these gatherings. The preliminary meetings were well at- tended, and the best class of wheelmen be- came interested, and pushed the matter along. A constitution and by-laws were prepared and adopted, and the organization ‘was made permanent, with Mr. Brainard HH. Warner as president, Mr. Willlam Offley as first vice president, Mr. William H. Henshaw, second vice president; Mr. Fran- cis E. Pratt, secretary, and Mr. William Gettinger as treasurer. The board of di- rectors elected consists of Messrs. R. R. Revill, W. 8. McKean, W. K. Larrimore and Frank J. Wissner. Full committees on rights and privileges, finance and mem- bership were appointed to facilitate the work. The first notable event of the organiza- tion was the trip to Baltimore, held on June 7. Without a doubt, the largest crowd of bicyclists that ever left the city went out on- that day. Everything had been arranged for the entertainment of the visitors at the other end, but by the neglect on the part of the Baltimore wheelmen the dinner arrangements were entirely inadequate, which totally marred the pleasure of the trip. The membership ‘of the organization is over the 300 mark. The United Wheel- men in no sense of the word is a club or- ganization. On the contrary, it recognizes no club in its ranks. The idea in the or- ganization was to get together the unat- tached wheelmen of the city, who outnum- ber the club members by over 100 per cent. Counting all the cycle clubs in the city and taking their membership rolls, the total list will not swell above 1,000 or 1,200 rid- ers. The estimated. bicycle population of the city is placed-at between 35,000 and 40,000. The aim of the association is to reach this vast number of unattached riders, and it is expected that this will be done before long in the case of a majority of them. The organization Is for the good of the members, and as S00n as this class of un- attached riders, both male and female, rec- ognize this they will lose no time, it is ex- ected, in jolning. There is no initiation ee, and the yearly. dues are only nominal —50 cents per annum. All applications have to be indorsed by two members of the association, this being done to regulate the membership. Before a person is elected to membership the application is referred to the committee on membership, who exam- ines the character of the applicant. If fa- vorable, the matter is referred at the reg- ular meeting of the board of governors and the application is acted upon. A project is on hand to have a grand re- union the early part of next month of all the club members and a large number of unattached riders. It {s proposed to hold a monster barbecue, to be followed by a gen- uine cyclists’ meeting, at which there will be speeches delivered by a number of Prominent local wheelmen. While not definitely decided, the barbecue will in all probability be held at the Cycle Cottage near Takoma Park, where there are excel- lent facilities for such an event. The project was broached at an informal meeting of some of the directors held dur- ing the week, and it was dec run of the United Wheelmen evening to Cycle Cottage. have been extended to all of the clubs in the District, requesting that at least two men be sent to consider the matter of gi ing the barbecue. It is proposed to make it a joint evenc, and carry things on a mon- ster scale. The barbecue will be held on the broad lawns surrounding the cottage, Whiie the speech-making will follow on the other e of the house, the speakers being Seated on the veranda of the cottage. After securing a modification of the police regulations al ting bic and several ether good things, the organization is now ivausurating a crusade against the early sprinkling of the streets, and an effort to have the Canal road from the Aqueduct bridge to the Foxhall road paved. This stretch of road is a disgrace to the mag- riflcent Condvit road, and, in the opinion of the officers of the organization, it is more preferable to have this road first put in good condition before starting to build a cycle path, beginning fourteen miles from the city. The officers of the organization are all well-known men. Mr. B. H. Warner, who 4s at the head, is prominently identified with many business concerns, and with all is a devotee of the wheel. So delighted is he with cycling that he has equipped al- most his entire household with bicycles, and it is stated that he has eight wheels in use In his family. Mr. William M. Offiey, the first vice presideat of the organization, is a man well known in athletic circles. He was born in New York city thirty-one years ago, and came to this city shortly after the Phila- delphia centennial. He fs a recent converl to the use of the wheel, being one of this season's crop. He is a well-known member of the Potomac Boat Club, which he joined in 1882, and four years he has been captain of the club. He was elected captain at the last annual meeting, but resigned a few months ago. Mr. William H. Henshaw, the second vice president, is also a native of New York, being bern at Albany. He is thirty-two years of age, and has been a resident of the clty for about three years. He has been a cyclist for about seven years. He was one of the charter members of the Queer Wheelmen, but recently withdrew from the organization and is now a mem- ber of the Arlington Wheelmen. He isa well-known business man and an enthusiast of the wheel. Francis E. Pratt, the secretary, is thirty- one years of age and a native of New York city. He came to Washington las: October to accept a position in the bur iu of construction and repair, at the Navy Department. For three years he has been an enthusiast of the wheel, though he be- gan riding when only fourteen years of age. He Is a graduate of Lehigh University and is an all-arcund athlete. He is a member of the New York Canoe Club, the Elizabeth Athletic Club, the Alpha Boat Club of Chester, Pa., the Arlington Wheelmen, the Potomac Boat Club and the Columbia Ath- letic Cleb. Mr. William Gettinger, the treasurer of the organization, is a comparatively young man, popular in business and wheeling cir. cles. He is a member of the Arlington Wheelmen, and 1s the president of the club at present, having held the position for a rumber of years. He is an energetic and hustling wheelman, and it was mainly through his efforts that the recent meet of the Arlington Wheelmen was such a suc- cess. ———— WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. Eggs Searce and Higher—Other Pro- ducts Practically Unchanged. The conditions prevailing in the local wholesale produce market today are in most respects those noted a week ago, and there is practically nothing observable pointing to any great material change in prices in the imediate future. Nevertheless, the tone of the market indicates an upward tendency in prices. Butter shows absolutely no change in prices, the market being firm and fine goods scarce. The same can be sald of cheese, but eggs are not only ad- vanced in price, but are also showing a still higher tendency, being scarce and un- usually firm. Poultry appears to be im- ited in supply, with indications of slightly Higher prices. Vegetables and fruits are fairly plentiful, prices being those expected at this season of the year. Beef and other meats remain as about last reported. On the whole the market is plendidly supplied ae its tone is healthy and firm through- out. The scarcity in butter of the top grades still continues, and while prices are those of last week they remain well sustained.
