Stanbury of Australia, who r ly defeated “Wag” Harding for the champioaship of the world. The course was the usual ¢ course, four and one-fourth mile away, from Putney to Mortlake. After twelve false starts, both men took the water toget Stanbury had a slight lead at Craven Steps, but soon afterward Gaudaur pulled up, took the lead and | maintained it to the Crabtree, where a foul occurred. Stanbury thereupon stopped and appealed to the referee. The latter, however, would not zllow the foul, and Gaudaur finished twenty lengths ahead, in 23:01. mpionship straignt- Gaudaur has hi pionship of : before, 1886 and honors. Gaudaur and Stanbury have met before. The contest took place at the regatta at jonal cham- and twice held the same he Austin, Texas, in 189%, when Stanbury was not in good form. Since that time Gandaur has defeated Edward Hanlon, George Bubear, Rogers, Hackett and other professionals at the Halifax regatta. He lso stroked the “four” which beat Bu- *s English combination. ‘The new champion has made two pre- vious visits to England. In 1583 he was over there, with George Hosmer, Ed. Han lon and Wallace Ross, but he had to suc- cumb to Hanlon and Ross, despite his clever style, which was very much admired by the English experts. In 1886 Gaudaur rowed Beach, the Au- stralian, for the championship, from Put- ney te Mortlake. Stanbury won the Australian champton- ship in 1891, when he defeated John Mc- Lean on the Parametta riv. Gaudaur weighed about pounds. He is six feet high, while Stanbury is about seven pounds heavier, and one inch taller. Record of the Clubs. Clubs. . PC Clubs. W. L. B.C.

Base Ball Notes, Earl Wagner says: “Mr. Schmelz will continue through another season as the manager of the team.” Chicago and Brooklyn are the only clubs that will appear at Philadelphia again this season, the former team temorrow and Tuesday and the “Trolley Dodgers” Sep- tember 24, 25 and 26, for the three games which will mark the windup of the season. New York’s long stretch of home games should put the Giants at the head of the second division. Of the eighteen games just played with the western clubs the Phillies have won thirteen. A great deal has been sald about the Cin- cinatis quitting, but it should be noted that the cther western clubs have been dropping games regularly on this trip. The idea of saying that such men as Ewing, McPhee, Hoy and Smith are trem- bling with fear of losing their chance to play for the Temple cup money is arrant ronsense. Some writers are doing Jimmy Donnelly great injustice. One says: “Take Donnelly and place him in a slow-going, mechanical team and he would go through the whole season without inspiring any comment.” Those who saw Jimmy play with the Wash- ingtons years ago and in the Eastern League since know better. ‘The Philadelphia Press says of the Phil- lies’ nearest rivals: “The importation of Joyce and Beckley to that team acted on the drooping spirits of New York fans like a life preserver to a drownIng man. The Giants, under the management of ‘Scrap- py’ Joyce, bounded to the front of the second column as though made of rubber.” Minneapolis is leading the Western League race. Boston is makirg a regular Philadelphia finish and may yet climb to third place. Baltimore fans are offering 3 to 2 that Jennings wins the batting championship. “I haven't made much of a record for Fall Hats, $1.50, $2, $2.50 and $3.

Hoffer says it is the badge of membership in the Ancient Order of Water Carriers. Brodie cf Baltimore says he merely asked Emslie a question and was put out of the game Wednesday. It was in the second inning, when the long kick over Clarke at third occurred. Brodie was put out of the game, but did not understand Emsile aright, and walked toward his position. Bob called him back and told him again to take a place on the bench. Then there was more kicking. Lajole is unquestionably the biggest find of the year. Though only in the major league a few weeks, he is the most valu- able first_ baseman in the country.—Ex- change. Capt. Nash pad $1,500 for Lajote, while Mr. Wagner secured Smith for third base for nothing. Both men are fine play- ers, but considering the money difference, the latter should rank first as this season’s find.

Randall, started yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock from In front of the club house of the Eastern Athletic Club, on 8th street southeast, and forty-five minutes later the first man en- tered the gate at River View. The rain of the day before made the roads very muddy, otherwise the time would have been better. There were about fifteen starters, and several were forced out on account of ac- cidents on the road. Prefessionals were not allowed to enter, though Harry Park refused to accept this decision and rode in the race without a number. Bayard T. Wrenn of the Arlington Wheel- men came in first, Mr. Willard came sec- ond, his time being fifty-four minutes, while Mr. Gant finished a close third. The prizes were things left for the winners to select, the value being limited to $15, $6 and $4, re- spectively. Excelsior Road Club. The newly organized Excelsior Road Club went on their first run last evening. On their return to the city they rode nine abreast up the avenue. Y. M. C. C. Disbands, The Young Men’s Catholic Club of Gon- zaga College has been disbanded. The club was organized seven years ago, and had a very successful career. Of late the members have been indifferent to the or- ganization, which resulted in the disband- ment. The organization will not be al- lowed to dissolve entirely, and already a movement is on foot looking toward a reorganization. American Wheels in Germany, Germany is waging war against Ameri- can bicycles. Princess Hohenlohe and all the smart court set in Berlin have bought American wheels, and the wheels are seen on all sides in Germany. The Americans have been heavy advertisers in all the German papers, and last week they were astonished to receive notice that hence- forth their advertisements would not be received, the German manufacturers hay- ing agreed to withdraw their ad ments from any paper accepting advertise- ments from American bicycle firms is a demand for a tariff equally as high as the American tariff on German wheels. CANADIANS Goop BOWLI It Made the Philadelphians’ Prospects Very Gloomy. MANHEIM, Philadelphia, —Play was resumed at 11:30 today in the cricket match between Canada and the United States. The day was a beautiful one for cricket, but the court, which ws drenched with a heavy rain Sunday morn- ing, was still soft. When stumps were drawn at 1:30 Saturday afternoon the C nadians had gathered together 117 runs for nine wickets, with Dean, 1, not out, and Rykert, 12, not out, defending the wickets. This, added to their elghty-seven runs for the first inning, placed their total at 204, and gives them a big lead over the home eleven, the latter having scored but fifty- two runs in their opening innings. The feature of the match thus far has been the remarkable bowling of Laing of the Ca- he having taken six wickets for runs. » match opened with King bowling to and the latter w: lean bowled on first ball.

The swimming matches at Marshall Hall yesterday attracted a large crowd of peo- ple, who were amply rewarded for their journey to the pépular resort.” The con- testants in the races were Dr. F. W. Gren- fell, champion of the District of Colum- bia, and J. J. McCarthy, ex-champion of Japan, China, Australia, and the United States navy. There were three trials, one at 100 yards, one at 20 yards and one at s, the prize being $1,000 for the of two out of three. Dr. Grenfell won the 100-yard swim in an easy effort, end in the 200-yard race came in fifty yards alead, McCarthy having given up the race. McCarthy would not contest the 500-yard swim, and the trial was given to the doc- tor by default. Dr. Grenfell has been training at the bathing beach, under the direction of Mr. Charies C. Beveridge, and stands ready to back his title of District champion against all comers. He swims with a beautiful stroke and his work was a revelation to all saw him yesterday. The time of the ts were not taken. While at the Hall Dr. Grenfell not only won all three races, but saved the life of Mr. Louls P. Weber, who lives on Capitol Hill. The swimmer was standing on the wharf just as the Macalester came in, and he noticed a young man very anxious to get on board before the rush should com- mence. The young man was Mr. Weber, and he attempted to place his foot on the deck before the gang plank was in_posi- tion. As a consequence his foot slipped and he was precipitated into the water be- neath him, in close proximity to the pad- dle wheel. Although Dr. Grenfell was tully dressed he immediately dived into the river and after some little difficulty succeeded In getting Mr.Weber to the stairs at the side of the wharf, and from there into a place of safety. Mr. Weber was taken on the boat and everything possible done to make him comfortable, although he scemed to suffer only from the shock. Dr. Grenfell in his plunge overboard lost a pocket book containing a check for $110. He will ndt lose this amount, however, for payment has been stopped and the Hygien- ic Ice Company, who gave Dr. Grenfell the check, will make it good. Wefers Equa the Record. At the games of the Catholic Club at Baldwin Park, Jersey City Heights, Sat- urday Bernard J. Wefers captured the firal heat of the 75-yard dash from scratch in 72-5 seconds, which is equal to the world’s record, held by himself. Tom Cooper Injured. At Providence, R. 1, Saturday Tom Coop- er of Detroit undertook to cut in between Lcughead and Maddox. His pedal struck Maddox's machine and he was thrown so violently that he had to be carried from the track and receive a surgeon’s care. Michael and Murphy Matched. James Michael, the famous Wefsh Dicy- cle racer, has been matched for a twenty- five-mile race against Charles J. Murphy of Brooklyn, N.

Next Saturday probably the greatest ath- letic championship ‘meeting in the history of the Amateur Athletic Union will be held at Manhattan Field, New York. One of the bright features will be the large repre- sentation from the south and also from Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Scranton, Buffalo, Louisville and many other prominent cities. Among the entries appear the names of athletes who have won English, Irish, Canadian, intercollegiate, Olympic and United States championships and holders of world’s amateur records. ee Base Ball Receipts Attached, Upon a sult filed by the National Base Ball Club against Chris Von der Ahe, the Sportsman’s Park and the St. Louis Base Ball Club in June, 1895, an attachment was issued Saturday afternoon. It 1s under- stood that the gate receipts of the St. Louis club will be attached this afternoon, September 7.” THE RAILROAD WAR Some Surprising Moves May Be Ex- pected This Week. OTHER COMPANIES 70 eg BE INVOLVED Another Injunction Likely to Be Applied For. ae THE LONG AND SHORT HAUL = Ss ‘The present week is likely to develop some surprising moves on the part of the com- manders 'n the rate war between the Sea- board Air Line and the Southern Railwa: Companies, and it will not be astonishing to those who are watching the trend of events along that line if inside of ten day the most of the lines of the Southern States Freight Associaticn, ahd this compris. j nearly ill the important railw steamship lines along the Atlantic board, will become involved in the troversy At the present time everything points to one of the longest and most bitter. str gles in the history of American railroad and as each new move in the fight is made the situaticn becomes more complicated, and the prospects of an early adjustment of the differences seems more remote. | The lowest rate yet made by the two lines went into effect this morning. So far | this on the part of the Southern has been limited to freight traffic, and the charge are but about one-half what they were a! week ago. The Seaboard has also applied the knife | very vigorously to the passenger tariff as between competitive points with th uth- | ern, and the passenger can now buy a tick-| et to Atlanta for less than one-half the | sea- con- rate which pi present war of rate cutting began. The Southe maintains its figures for pz for the present at least, be 5 derstood, the management of the latter | holds to the opinion that persons in this section who desire to reach the principat | cities cf the south promptly would prefer | to pay the normal rate, and thus lose no unnecessary time, rather than to avail! themselves of the cheaper rate and have to travel part of the route by water. It is said, however, that, despite the fact | ged by both the South- | errn and the Seaboard between Baltimore and Norfolk are lower than ever before known, and are so trifling as to appear to | be almost ridiculous for the amount of ser- | vice rendered, both are making money, as the number of persons who are traveling exceeds all previous records. It is reported, however, that the South- ern and Merchants and Miners’ lines, which also carry passengers between Baltimore | and Norfolk, will this week reduce rates still further by offering free berths and state rooms on their steamers, and it is in- timated that if they do the Seaboard will, it Is said, not only meet the cut of the oth: | ers, but will offer free meals. The Long and Short Haul Question. There is every reason to believe that the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce law will soon play an important part In the controversy, and it fs said that the Seaboard will within a very few days, Probably tomorrow, ask for an injunction from one of the United States judges in Washington to restrain the Southern Rail- way Company from putting into effect the reduction in freight rates of which notice has been filed with the interstate commerce commission, on the ground that this reduc- tion does not affect all points, but only | competitive points, and that under the law, if rates are cut to one point they must be reduced to all nearer points, as well as to points beyond on the same line of railway. With regard to this charge of the Sea. board people, the Southern officials who have charge of this branch of the subject have, as might be expected, little to sa: They are not willing to admit, it 1s under- n and} ! |r | timore to Richmond. | j should be delayed so long that the | ported very cheaply ¥ou will find one coupon ide cach two ounce bag, | and twe coupons inside each four ounce bag of Black- well’s Durham.

The last-named city is the only point in the south reached directly by the Pennsyl- vania, and as it has not made any reduction | of rates between Baltimore, Washington and | Richmond it seems to be not at all improb- | able that the Seaboard Air Line officials will also charge its officials with violating the interstate comme and fight the latter as well as th sident Hoffman, President St. John and other general officials of the Sea- beard Air Line held a lengthy conference Saturday at the offices of the company in Baltimore, and at its conclusion all except Mr. Hoffman, whose home is in Baltimore, went to Portsmouth, Va. It was reported in Baltimore last eve: ing that the conference was for the pur pose of seeking the aid of the law in Som t pelling the Southern with interstate commerce law, but Presid Hoffman said it was more than likely that the interstate commerce commission Would give a decision as to the pointe raised before them by the Seaboard as to the long and short haul clause of the 1. and as to whether the Southern has no’ already violated this ir its publis iffs, and until this was done, unle to comply ern would take aggressive steps cutting, the Seaboard would question to remain in abeyance. It can be stated on the highest authcri that the companies composing the South- ern States Freight Association have re- solved tu meet every cut of the Seaboard Air Line, so that the shippers of freight are likely to have their commodities trans- for the next few weeks, at least. This rate war wiil undoubtedly give a decided impetus to freight traffic in the south, but will, it is believed, seriously affect the revenues of some of the cem- panies invclved. Commissioner Haines of the Southern States Freight Association is quoted as j Saying that he thinks the associated rail- way lines should be permitted by courts to take a hand in the whole matter and end the war by one slash which could ;not possibly be met by the Seaboard and its allies. What Judge Simonton Said. In view of the position assumed by Com- missioner Haines, who is the official mouthpiece of the Southern and other rail- ways composing the Southern Staies Freight Association, an extract from the now famous decision of Judge Simonioa in the Southern-Seaboard injunction pro- ceedings is of much interest. The words of the judge were as fellows: “The destructive results of a rate war waged between two great systems of rail- roads are recognized and deprecated by men of the greatest ability—wno have con sidered the subject. They impair and de- stood, that the long and short haul clause of the law can be legally enforced, and they are further understood to expect that the Seabcard will continue to keep the mat- ter before the attention of the interstate commerce commission or of the courts un- til there is an official ruling by competent authority on the question. If the decision is in favor of the Southern the Seaboard will, it is believed, cut rates even further than they have already done. It is reported that a lower cut than is shown by the figures filed with the inter- state commerce commission by the con- tending parties has already been secretly made by several railroads besides those named, and it is stated that some new schedules from important trunk lines may be filed with the commission early this week, as it has already become manifest to them that they cannot maintain the tariffs as they have existed for some time past. Just how it has been done has not yet come to the surface, but it is stated on good authority and not from Seaboard Sources that the Seaboard company has contracted for practically all the important business in sight from New York, Phila- delphia and Baltimore to southern ports. The Seaboard has, it is said, been antici- pating business in this way for some time past, stepping in ahead of competitors and taking the business under special induce- ments. It ts stated that its business last month increased nearly 50 per cent, while most other companies have been complain- ing of dull times. The Southern railway people. who have been conversed with. say that they are making as conservative a fight as possible and are doing everything they can to pro- tect the revenues of the company and de- fend the interests of the security holders and stockholders, and that this 1s the rea- son why their company has made reduc- tions to competitive points only. As the Seaboard has cut the rates all over the south, and has made new rates from New York and Philadelphia, as well as from other points, other lines than the Seaboard and those composing the South- ern States Freight Association have been drawn into the fight, and it is said the Pennsylvania Railroad Company by reason of the new freight rate quoted by the Sea- board has been compelled to make a lower stroy the usefulness of the railroads them- selves, and their ability to serve the pub- lic with certainty, efficiency and safety. The business interests of the commun which move the crops and bring supplies to the consumer require that rates be stable. Every precaution has been taken by state legisiatures and by Congress to keep them just and reasonable for the pub- lic and for the carriers. A few favored points and a few persons may for a short time receive temporary advantage, but the result of such a war is the destruction of values, the disturbance of all-business in- terests, the Cemoralization and confusion of rates and great public and private lo: “As Judge Cooley has said,the prevention of these rate wars and the disastrous con- sequences resulting from them is the prob- lem of the age. Whether the powers of courts of equity, state, as well as federal, are elastic enough to grapple with the evil: whether the primary trust, the public good. on which railroads hold their property is cne which can be enforced in the courts; whether the federal courts are able to meet and defeat measures which obstruct and tend to destroy interstate commerce, are questions which sooner or later must be heard and determined. “It goes without saying that a court can- not fix rates, that it cannot interfere in any reduction of rates brougat about in legitimate competition; that if a carrier with the purpose of bringing business to itself shall reduce and adopt rates for a time not remunerative, but with a view to the accumulation of business, so that it will in time become remunerative, or, in- deed, shall adopt any other reduction which it may think of advantage to its business, no ccurt could interfere. “It is only when such reduction is made regardless of its own interests with a view to cestroy and defeat its adversary and crush out competition; when it is waged, as all wars are waged, for destruction; when the great powers granted to it by the pub- le for the public gocd are diverted from these purposes, and are used to gratify perscral animosity against a rival, to the vrong and injury of the public, that cour if they can interfere at all, may interfere.
