The Duke Has Been Promoted to a Throne. Farrell has oft times been spoken of as the “Duke,” but since yesterday he has left,the dukedom far below, and at one jump has ascended to the throne in the af- fections of the fans. No title short of “king” is worthy of him now. He was not in yesterday’s game at National Park more than two and a half minutes, but it was enough. It’s 16 to 1 that everybody present believed the game lost to Washington when the latter went to bat in the elhth inning, but Farrell with one swoop of his wagon tongue changed the situation and set the crowd wild. De Montreville was thrown in- to such convulsions that the agile shortstop rolled about the diamond for several min- utes. And Scrappy Joyce, in exchange for whom Farrell came to Washington, did not smile a single smile. The score stood 7 to 6 in the eighth inning in favor of the Giants, when McGuire ad- vanced to the plate. The prospects were far from bright; the home players had not been hitting Pitcher Seymour's delivery with any frequency, and darkness was fast approaching. McGuire sent the ball to Joyce, and was promptly thrown out. Harvey Smith hoisted a fly to Beckley and two were out. The folks who had left their seats and were filing out of the stand with leaden hearts, paused when O’Brien hit safely to right field for one base. Brown sent an easy one to Gleason, and it seemed as though all was over, but to the surprise of the multitude the Kid fumbled. A sad misplay for the Giants it proved. Two men two out and Cartwright at the bat wes the situation. Ed waited for balls and the bases were filled. Farrell, who had been coaching, was instructed to go to bat, and he advanced to the plate. A hit would tie the score, but such good fortune was really not expected, though hoped for. Seymour hurled the sphere. “One ball,” arnounced Umpire Lynch, and there was a yell of satisfaction. “Whack!” Farrell was seen to swing his bat and there followed an interesting sprinting e: hibition around the circuit of bases. No one seemed to know exactiy where the ball had gone until three Serators had crossed the plate. About that time it was noticed that Mr. Stafford was conducting a search among the trees. He finally found the ball and sent it by successive stages to Warner, catching Farrell at the plate. And how the crowd did yell and whoop and stamp and shout and cheer and do lots of other thirgs, ard how Joyce did grit his teeth. The score was now 9 to 7, with the lean toward Washington. The ninth inning was begun and New York had succeeded in scoring one run when the game was called on account of dark- ness. ‘The crowd left the grounds in the gather- ing twilight, having received full value for the price of admission, for the game was base ball from the start, there had been a Garrison finish and Washington had won. What more could be desired. “When Scrappy Tied the Score” has sung into insignificance. It is now, “When Farrell Cleared the Bases.”” ‘The Giants had several shades the better of it from the start until the eighth in- ning. They batted Norton's delivery at ease, while Seymour was somewhat of an enigma to the Senators. ' The visitors led off in the first with a run, Tiernan tak- ing third on a triple and scoring on Glea- son’s out at first. Two more happened in the third, as the result of three hits and a base on balls. In the seventh the Giants moved up four additional points, eight men going to bat. After Joyce had gone out, Davis hit safely and kept on around, when Beckley sent the ball into the bleachers for a home run. Stafford flied out, but Warner was hit by a pitched ball. He went to third on Sey- mour’s third hit of the game, and both men crossed the plate when Van Haltren sin- gled. Washington also made a run in the first, Lush hitting safely, going to third on a wild pitch, and completing the act on De Montreville’s out. Another occurred in the third on a base on balls, a hit and an out. ‘The total was increased to four in the fifth by means of an error and two singles. In the seventh, with two out, Lush and De Montreville banged out a home run each, ard the crowd warmed up considerably, for those two tallies almost evened up the score. Then followed the Farrell earth- quake. King took Norton’s place in the ninth inning.

Clevelend clinched the question of what team would stand second in the league race by defeating the Colonels yesterday in a very prettily played game.

If the man who hauled a load of potatoes up a steep hill only to see the tailboard of the cart fall out before he had crossed the crest of the declivity will call upon Cap- tain Joyce of the Giants he may get a few pointers on forcible expression. He came down here full of the desire to win three of the four games, and he has lost three. The defeat today was enough to break his heart. Though the Giants made nineteen hits to the Senators’ seven, they lost through errors of commission and omis- sion. Stafford, in left field, gave an exhibition of Mark Twain's jumping frog, It was not @ pound of shot which weighted “Jim,” but the pie at luncheon must have been pretty heavy. He should have caught Far- rell's fly in the elghth, which lost the game, and one of the two Washington home runs should also have been an easy out, had he started when the ball was hit. Three bad errors in the fifth, after two were out, cost two runs. First Warner muffed an easy foul after two were out; then a grounder went through Geo. Davis, after which Gleason furnbled an easy ball. After these five easy chances for put-outs McGuire made a hit and two men scored. Warner's muff of a twenty-foot foul in the first and a passed ball cost a run. In the eighth, with two out and a man on first, Gleason played “roly poly’’ once more with the third chance, and Lynch gave Cartwright a base on balls unfairly. Far- rell batted for Norton and sent a fly to left field. Stafford misjudged it by starting in on the ball. It went over his head and three runs were scored. The Giants had one run in, men on second and first, one out, and Gleason at bat in the ninth, when Lynch called game, though it was light encugh to play ball after the team got to the hotel. Under the circumstances, Seymour's pitching was splendid. With all the muff- ing and buffing behind him, the boy never lost his nerve, and he deserves a double measure of praise for his good work. Clark is keyed up for the champions today. SCHMELZ RE-E! Great Work of the Senators During the Past Season. Marager Schmelz of the Washington Base Ball Club has been signed to manage the team for another year, and Mr. Wag- ner feels confident that the local team will do even better than this year. Mr. Wagner estimates the work of the local team this year not from the fact that it has secured ninth place, a position higher than any season since the Washingtons have been in the National League, but from the great increase in percentage over last year. It may not have occurred to local patrons, but the Washingtons have increased their standing over last year at this time more than any club in the league. In other words, they have shown the great- est improvement this year of any team. Every one experienced in base ball mat- ters knows that building up a great team is slow werk. Going up a step a year is good progress, but a better indication of improvement is an increased percentage. By the tables printed today it can be seen that the Washingtons’ percentage is .125 higher than last year this date. The im+ provement or its lack in percentage of the clubs is shown by the following: AGED. Baltimore.. .045 inc.;New York Cleveland... .016 dec.) Phila. Cincinnati.. .090 inc.] Wash. Boston. .011 ine.| Brooklyn. Chicago. .001 decj St. Louis. a Pittsburg... .007 dec4 Louisville... .019 inc. From the above table it will be seen that ihe clubs that have done better than last year are Baltimore, Cincinnati, Boston, Washington, St. Louis and Louisville. And of them all Washington has done by far the best. Even Cincinnati, although it jumped from eighth to third place, did not show as great improvement in its work. Clevelard, retaining its position of a year ago, has fallen off. The,despised tall enders have done better than the highly-praised Spiders. ‘fhe percentage of the Washingtons when Joyce left wes .425—over a hundred poinis better than the record of the year before, but Mr. Wagner believes that if Mr. Sctmelz had had charge of the team the entire season the percentage would have been much higher and the club would have been in the first division. Realizing that changes are fatal to the success of a team, Mr. Wagner has signed practically the same team for next year. All but three of the old men have signed for next season. There will be no more ex- perimenting and efforts will be directed to- ward improving and developing the present team. Base Ball Notes. Victory was due to Farrell. Again the duke was on hand, and he had his stick with him. It's many weeks since there has been such enthusiasm as that which greeted Farrell's triple to the hospital fence. Our gain was Wew York's loss. The Giants are the weakest team in the country behira the bat. If New York had a gocd catcher, a second baseman, shortstop and left fielder, with another first-class pitcher, it would rank with the team of 1894 and stand a show for the pennant. “Jimmy McJames is one of the pest, if rot the foremost of the young pitchers who are now experiencing their first season in the major league. Next season he will be one of the stars,” says Capt. Joyce. “I will say for Tom Brown that he is forturate in having one of the best corps of pitchers in the league,” says Joyce. ‘The Washington club has been playing gccd ball for the last few weeks, and yes- terday took possession of ninth place. The principal reason of the team’s bracing up is the excellent, even brilliant pitching of McJames and the good work also of Mercer and young Nortcn.—Baltimore Sun. Kid Gleason, the champion lightweight bexer of the league, has a bet of $500 to $300 that Pompadour Jim will polish off Red Robert of Dingoland. ‘But the whole busi- Tess looks like a fake on Fitz's part. He is looki: g for an ad. for his theatrical show,” says Gleasor. “Of all the fielding pitchers I ever saw, Kid Nichols of Boston can take the aces and the 15 ball,” says Kid Gleason. The impression among the players is that the Orioles will beat out the Spiders in the Temple cup series, thougn Scrappy Joyce is one of the few who believe to the con- trary. Five tripie plays have been made by the league so far this season. Mr. Indifference is what Anson calls Dah- len when your uncle waxes sarcastic at the experse of his brilliant shortstop. “Dahlen ts the one player, and the only one I ever meet who never cares a snap what the newspspers say about him,” said your uncle recently. errcrs in a game, and the reporters give him en inshoot with their pens on the fol- lowing day, he will laugh it off as if it were a good joke.” In Louisville next season spectators who insult players will be put off the grounds. The fight for the honor of leading the second division is still a hot one between New York and Philadelphia. The Phillies got a bad setback by losing three games im Baltimore, but they drew up close to the Giants yesterday by winning from Brooklyn, while New York lost to Washington.

Roger Connor has decided to retire and will try to purvhate a franchise and man- age a team in the Connecticut league next season. In the Steinert Cup series of the Easter}, League, yesterday, at Providence, R. I., tha Providence club won. It was the first game of the series in that city, the first three having been played im Buffalo. By winning this game the Providence club will be in a position to win the cup by getting only one more victory. GOOD RACING PROMISED. Another Cycle Mcet to Be Held at Athletic Park.

SOME OF THE SPEECHES —_.+—___- Sey Rey.,Dr. George W. Lee, the noted pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, this city, but for his own action in with- drawing his name as a candidate, after it was developed that he was almost certain of election, would have been elected presi- dent of the national Baptist convention, now in session in St. Louis, for the ensuing year. The reports of the scenes attending the election of a president, as published in the St. Louis papers, show that the dele- gates were worked up to a high state of excitement, and that the mention of Dr. Lee’s name was received with the wildest enthusiasm. He, however, refused to allow the delegates to vote for him, and the re- tiring president was then re-elected. The St. Louis papers state that Dr. Lee's speech in declining to be considered as a can‘i- date for the office for which he was named was a model of eloquence and unique humor, and at its conclusion he was re- quested by delegates in every part of the hall to reconsider his withdrawal. This, however, he declined to do. Publication Society. The convention is composed of leading colored Baptist preachers and laymen, from twenty-two of the states, and the acts performed by them since they met in an- nual session last week are certain to be- come matters of history. Among the im- portant questions decided upon were to break loose from the American Baptist Publication Suciety; steps were taken to establish a negro publication house; the Woman's Auxillary Society was absorbed and other matters of vital importance to the race were transacted. The effect an the business interests of the American Baptist Publication Society can hardly be estimated at this time, and the act of with- drawal was the result largely of speeches by Rev. Dr. E. K. Love, D.D., of Sava: nah, Ga., Rev. Dr. George W. Lee and W Bishop Johnson of Washington, and other ministers representing nearly every sec- tion of the country. Probabiy the most important speech was that delivered by Dr. Love, who is quoted as having said: “There is no reason why the negro Baptists of the United States should not be able, under wise and courageous leaders, to do anything they desire to do. Is there a need of a national Baptist publication house? in- der circumstances that we hopdpnce ex- isted, the proper answer to thi# question would be, No. Under the wise, able and almost equitable administration of the late sainted Dr. B. Griffith we had hoped that the efforts of the American Baptist Publi- cation Society would ripen into the fruit- age of a full recognition and exact justice to our people and denominAtions. “While Dr. Griffith lived I never gave my vote in favor of the establishment of a na- tional publication house, because my hope for all we needed in the American Baptist Publication Society lived as long as he lived. He is dead and my hopes are buried. As closely connected and as affectionately at- tached as I am to the American Baptist Publication Society, I could not be so dis- loyal to my race after the national Baptist convention at its meeting last year had de- cided by a vote to establish a house of its own as to rebel against the movement. I am a loyal Baptist and a loyal negro. I will stand or fall, lve or die, with my race and denomination. There is as strong an argu- tment in favor of a negro publishing house as there is in favor of negro churches, schools and families. It is just as fair for negroes to want these things as it is for white men to want them for themselves. If one is necessary and right the other is equally so. “It never was true anywhere, and per- haps will never be true, that a negro can enjoy every right in an institution controlled by white men that a white man can enjoy. There is not as bright and glorious a future in a white institution as there is for him in one of own. A peo- ple who have no enterprise show that they have no spirit of progress in them. A peo- ple without this cannot command the recog- BL of nations and the respect of ¢he Negro brains should shape and control negro enterprises and negro thought. In white publications all the pictures and thought are intended, and, indeed, caleu- lated, to show the superiority of the white race. The idea of negro greatness is not dreamed of. There must be a concentration of our great Baptist forces for the main- terance of something that is distinctively curs. With our boasted numerical strength and vast resources we only need system and executive ability to achieve a most gicrious success in this great enterprise.” The motion to form a distinctively negro publication society was opposed by Rev. 3. N. Vass, the District secretary of the aa Baptist Publication Society, who said: “The American Baptist Publication Socie- ty is seventy-two years old and our num- bers have increased in that time from 150,- 600 to 350,000. Its work for colored Baptist began at emancipation. Its missionaries have directly or indirectly organized most of the Sunday schools &’mong colored Bap- tists, assisted the schools with hooks and other help. It has also made grants of books to 8,000 colored ministers and as many churches. It also published all the literature needed for Baptists. The society is anxious that our people should continue to support it. It is not a society for whites only, but for all American Baptists; colored men write for its literature and are ap- pcinted to important positions in its work. It has honored our race by appointing one of our men to exercise an oversight of all its work in the south among our people, which recognizes negro manhood. It does not consider the negro a ward to be com- miserated, but a man to be encouraged and recognized. If colored people will withdraw we may cause the whites to grow more estranged from us. We cannot afford to draw such a line. Whites are our friends, and, instead of planning to go further from them, we ought to propose to come closer to them. a “The society, after many years of seed sowing, is just beginning to get some re- turns from colored Baptists. Is it fair to draw away the people from such a help, especially at a time when the society is under embarrassment? I do not see that colored Baptists can serve God to any more advantage or do a better work by with- drawing from this society. There is the appearance of ingratitude,whatever we may mean.” Despite the earnest speech of Dr. Vass the motion to establish the publishing house was adopted by an almost unanimous vote. —_—>—_—_ Australian Cricketers Far Ahead. The international game of cricket, which began yesterday between the New Jersey Athletic Club at Bayonne, N. J., and the Australian team can scarcely be called a match. The Australians swamped their adversaries completely by a score of 238 to 28 runs in the first inniags. This match will only last two days, and then the Aus- tralians will go back to Philadelphia to tackle the Philadelphicns in two matches, the first one at Belmont and the second at Haverford. —_.__ Wrecked on the Coast.

TO EXCEL. | In our business of merchant tailoring we have an ambi- tion to excel. It is a selfish ambition, perhaps, because’the more clothes we make the more money we make. But we can’t excel unless we satisfy. unless the We can't ‘satisfy garments we make are honest, dependable, styi- ish. And we've got to keep prices down, too, if we succeed in excelling. It is this ambition that prompts us to follow the Mertz system.

An Easy Way to Answer an All-Im- portant Questio: The paramount question with parents whose children have reached that age when their mental training must begin is where shall it be conducted. With chil- dren of a larger growth who are able to select for themselves the institutions where they may pursue their aims in behalf of a higher education the same question is equally importent. Probably no better an- swers can be secured by either than those which will be found in the columns of The Evening Star devoted to the announce- ments of educaticnal institutions. The best institutions naturally select the best | n.eans by which to reach the best people, and accordingly The Star is the natural agency for securing these results. Uni- versities, colleges, acedemies and private schools for the accommodation of both bearding and day scholars may be reached through the medium of the announcements mentioned, among which are those of many well-known institutions mentioned below.

Among the many things that have made Washington so noted and its citizens so ceservedly proud the Columbian University occupies a high and honored place, and its | progress among institutions of learning has been coincident with and none the less pro- ncunced than that of the city itself. Its graduates fill important positions in the learned professions both here and abroad; the successful business men number among, them, who cherish Columbian as their alma mater; and the army, the navy, the civil service and the public life beyond the bounds of that estimable law contain old Columbian boys who learned the rules that command success in Columbian school and lecture rooms. The university is now ccmplete in all its departments, with faculties in each comprising some of the most eminent instructors in this country. From its academy, where boys are thoroughly prepared for the higher courses above them, to the school of graduate studies and the Corcoran Scientific School, there is a thoroughness of organia- tion and a completeness of that detail so necessary to intellectual development un- excelled in similar great institutions.
