Local Players Were Their Mispla The Senators were unfortunate in thelr errors yesterday and lost in consequence. Then, when the visitors took the lead, the locals could not make a hit when hits were most needed. McJames was wild at times, but he was also effective; he struck out six men. He sent seven to bases, however. Stivetts came out a shade better; he also struck out six men, but sent only three to bases, and was hit safely seven times, in- cluding Lush’s hard one to left cénter for three bases. ‘The most sensational play of the game— in fact, of the entire season—was a run- ning catch of a fly ball by Selbach in the eighth. Yeager, who was covering first in the absence of ‘Tommie Tucker, hit a short fly to left field, close to the foul line. The Baron made a hard sprint for it, but, in order to catch the ball, was forced to lean way over and close to the ground, com- pletely losing his balance, and rolling over and over, and twisting himself into almost all varieties of contortions. The sphere was glued to his hands, however, and, after pulling himself together and getting his neck on straight again, he came in to the bench, while cheers came from every part of the grounds. Lange's remarkable catch is the only play this season that at all approached Selbach’s. Collins covered third in fine style for the visitors, and Long is credited with some sharp ficiding, but was again a little wild mfortunate in ‘Three-base hit—Lash. Duffy, Collins, Bergen.

Manager Tebeau of the Cleveland base ball club has been sent the following letter by Manager ‘Hanlon of the Baltimores: “It looks now as though your team will again be our.opponent in the Temple cup series. It being the privilege of the club finishing first to designate the place for opening games, I would suggest that the first three games be played in Baltimore, as follows, viz.: October 1, 2, 3, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; the 5th and 6th, Mon- day and Tuesday, to be left open, so that in case of rain on efther of the first-named deys we can play tha postponed games on the days left open. Should we be obliged to play six games, you could arrange yours for Thursday and Friday in Cleveland, the sixth to be piayed in Pittsburg. I would suggest that the conditions under which we will pi-7 to be the same as last year. In my opinion, we do not need more than two umpires, Waiting your opinion on the mat- ter, I am, very truly yours, “NED HANLON.” Upon talking the matter over with Presi- dent Robison, Capt. Tebeau dispatched the following message: “Mr. Rodison suggests that two games be played in Baltimore, beginning Thurs- day, October 1, and two in Cleveland, be- ginning Tuesday, October 6. Balance of the games be played in Pittsburg, beginning Saturday, October 10, in honor of Mr. Tem- ple, donor of the cup. In case of rain at Baltimore, games could be played later at Cleveland and Pittsburg. This meets with on unanimous consent of the Cleveland club.”* In speaking of the matter, Mr. Robison sald: “It certainly shows ill-taste and nerve on the part of the Baltimore captain to make a proposition like the one he made to us. Their little scheme will not work, how- ever, if protests on our part will do any good. I think our plan is very good, as it Pays a compliment to Mr. Temple, and, at the same time, makes it fair for’ both teams The fact is, Tebeau wants to work in his two pitchers, Young and Cuppy. Giving the Senators a “Send-of.” Arrangements have been completed by the friends of the Washington Base Ball Club to give them a royal “send-off” on the completion of the season. They havo secured the services of the Canton Potomac Field Band, who will assemble at the cor- ner of 7th street and Florida avenue this evening at o'clock, and proceed to the residence of Manager Schmelz and tender that gentleman a serenade, and from there will go to the residence of Captain Brown. Manager Schmelz and the western contin- gent of the Senators leave for their re- spective homes tonight. Indianapolis Again Won. Indianapolis captured the second game of the Free Press cup series from Minne- apolis at Indlanapolis yesterday. Both teams had stage fright. Preston threw from right ‘fleld into the bleachers on Woods’ hit in the seventh, when the bases were filled, and this cleared them. How- ever, McCarthy’s three-bagger a moment later would have done the same work. ‘The home club batted out the game in the seventh and eighth innings. Attendance, 2,155. Score: Indianapolis, 17; Minne- apolis, 9. Base Ball Notes. The announcement of the turning down of Mack in favor of Donovan causes the greatest comment in Pittsburg, Mkewise a little apprehension on the part of the good friends of the team. It is understood that Mack’s resignation was asked for and ten- dered some time ago.—St. Louis Star. Young, Rhines and Kennedy are the only league pitchers who have this season held opposing teams down to one safe hit. Each pitcher accomplished the feat once. With the closing of the season Freed- man’s troubles are getting thicker. He has been served with notice that Fred Pfeffer wants $900 in salary, and has concluded to carry the case into court. Amos Rusie’s case will be carried before the national board for adjudication, and Arthur Irwin will have a word or two to say to the man- agement later in the fall—Exchange. Hamilton has passetl the century mark in bases on balls. Pitcher Nichols still has a clean fielding record. He has taken part in fifty-gne games. John Ward ts handling Fred Pfeffer’s suit against the New York club for $800 in salary. Boston has signed Outfielder R. BE. Gray, who played on the Fort Wayne, Ind., team this year. Donovan declines to chat about next sea- son. He said he had reluctantly accepted the position and will do his duty. If he is successful he will be on stilts. but if the team fails to come up to expectations he will be a chump. It is said that Manager Billy Nash would like to make a deal with the New York club for Stafford. He wants him for the short field on the Quaker city team. Notwithstanding the denials of Freedman and Hanlon, it is reported here that there is a deal on between the New York and Baltimore base ball clubs, either for the transfer of the entire champion team to New York or an important sale of star Players. While Mr. Hanlon continues to say that there #s nothing in it, his myste- rious conferences with Freedman, Byrne and several other gentlemen with large capital, who are stockholders in eastern clubs, are said by parties clese to the own- ers of the Baltimore club to mean that the negotiations now in progress are likely to result In a big surprise to the base ball world.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. The Philadelphia base ball management has signed John Fifield and Samuel Gillin of the Western League for next season. Fifield is a pitcher and Gillin on the Detroit team. Paes Farrell’s Three-Bagger. Some rooters I knew To the game fairly flew. When the Statesmen were ninth in the racess ‘Their hearts were real light, But they soon were set right On Farrell's long hit for three bases. The bags contained two, But the chances were few, * As two men on the bench took their places; Mr. Schmelz felt bis chin ee And put Dukelets in, So he cracked out a hit for three bases, As Duke stepped to the plate Some fans did vacate, With looks unbecoming their faces, But the rooters, that stayed, Were equally paid By seeing a hit for three bases. It was the midst of the pinch, And we'd a victory to cinch, And Duke is the man in such places; So he took up the ash, And gave such a smash That the bit was enough for three bases. “One ball,” Lynch yelled back, And with the next came the whack, And the fans then all stood in their places, So to them Duke did bow, And he’s called the “King” now, Bince he lifted the ball for three bases. FRANK G. BOSWELL. FOR THE AMERICA’S CUP. Sir George Newnes Wants a Race of | Halifax. Sir George Newnes, who contemplated is- suing a challerge for the America’s coup last year after the Defender-Valkyrie flasco, recently made a request to the Royal London Yacht Club to support him in issuing a challenge for the America’s cup, the condition to be attached to the challenge that the matches should be sailed off Halifax, and that only the loadwater line and the length of the challenger should be required to be-stated, as in the case of Valkyrie. ‘The Royal Londoa Yacht Club has de- clined to accede to Sir George's request, on the ground that the club had previously passed a resolution to the effect that the hew deed of gift of the Now York Yacht Club for the cup was inimical to the sport of yachting. AMERICAN RECORD BROKEN. The Twenty-Fout+Hour Bicycle Race teago. The American was broken by four men in the twenty-four-hour bicycle race, which closed at the-Coliseum in Chicago at 9 o'clock last night, The score at the finish was: Gimm, 486 miles,-},361 yards, Waller, 482 miles; 968 yards. Schinner, 462 miles, 567 yards. Miller, 450 miles, 238 yards. Myers, 427 miles, 887 yards. It was seen early in the day that the American record was certain to be wiped out, and it appeared to be equally certain that the world’s record of 533 miles, 1,493 yards, made by Riveirre. would not’ be touched. This detrasied somewhat from the interest in the match, but nevertheless an immense crow1 was the building to watch the finish of the race. Waller, Schin- rer and Miller were the only men riding at 9 o’clock. Gimm kept at it until close up to the hour, when seelus that he had first place for sure h2 retired with over 468 miles to his credit. Myers sceing that he had no chance to pass the man next ahead of him also dropped out. There has keen some feeling between Waller end Gimm, and the forme: rode very hard tug the afte-noo1 to make up the differ- ence between his score and that of Gimm, and despite the earnest work of Gimm he gamed steadily. The distance was too greut, however, and althoush he gained cighteen miles in the last seven hours he couli not close -he sap. LOCAL COLLEGE ATHLETICS. Field and Track Meet to Be Held in October. As the foot ball games at Georgetown University will only be interclass, the field and track sports will attract the most at- tention. Champion Sprinter Wefers, who will again bave charge of the team, is ex- pected back about October 5. Trainer Foley will also arrive the first of the week and begin work immediately. Among the new men who have already registered are Lyons, from New York, who ts a very swift runner for the quarter and half mile, and McGirr, from Georgetown, who last year did some speedy half-mile running for the Catholic High School of Philadelphia. Arrangements will soon be made for a fleld and track meet to take place on the *varsity’s fleld the latter part of October. Athletes will come from Fordham, Prince- tcn, University of Pennsylvania, Columbian and other colleges that belong to the Inter- collegiate Association. The officers of the Athletic Association, as chosen for '96-'97, are: President, Rev. James G. Becker, 8. J.; vice pregident, R. J. Watkins;,manager of fleld and track sports, Julius S. Walsh, and Harry R. Gower, manager of tennis; An- drew Berry, who was elected base ball manager, has resigned, and Thomas S. Nel- son, who very successfully filled the posi- tion of manager in will probably be elected to fill the vacance, LOCAL FOOT BALL SEASON. A Number of Good Games Can Be Ex- pected. The local foot ball season will shortly open, and a number of good games can be looked for. There is every indication that there will be an unusually large number of clubs this year. In anticipation of a great time in local foot ball, the management cf International Athletic Park has decided to level the infield of the park, to be used for the sport. While Georgetown University will have no foot bajl team for outside games, there will be quite a struggle be- tweeen the classes of the coliege for the championship of the season. The Columbia Athletic Club will soon have an eleven in the field. Mr. Charles Cabrera will have the management, and he has issued a call for the players to present themselves at the C.A.C. field at 4 o'clock Monday. The team will then be formed and put in training immediately Zor work. Manager Cabrera expects to arrange a good schedule of games for this season. While a Thanksgiving day game is re- garded as a necessity, it 1s not known what teams will play <or the championship of the District. The Columbian University has not yet decided upon having an eleven this year. Howard University will have a team this year, and already foot ball practice has been begun. There are numerous a. for positions on the team, and no trouble will be experienced in picking a good team. Gallaudet College will also have a team, and most likely a good many athletic clubs. HE HAS AN AX. Chairman Gideon and the Power He Wields. There is probably not another man in so well krown as that of Mr. George D. Gideon of Philadelphia, Pa., the chairmen of the racing board of the League of Amer- ean Wheelmen. In racing circles his power 1s practically as supreme as that of the Czar of Russia in the government of that ccuntry, as many an unfortunate racing man has found out. His name is known in every little village and town where bicycle racing is indulged in, and through a number of agencies and private sources he 1s able to keep track of almost all of the men after honors on the cycle track. Mr. Gideon is comparatively a young man, and, as the phrase goes, he is quite a slick article. This expression, while not elegant, is true. He has a mind of his own, and the will power’ to carry out his decisions. If he thinks he is right a mountain of influence and pressure will Geo. D. Gideon, Chairman L, A. W. Racing Board. hardly force him to change his mind. This is the reason why le is frequently termed as narrow-minded. The Sims matter is an illustration of his firmness. While Mr. H. E. Raymond was the chairman of the racing board Mr. Gideon was a member of that board, having charge of the district which includes Pennsylvania, Maryland, the District of Columbia ard several other states. Tt was while serving as such that he undertook to investigate the Clapp matter in this city, and upon his recommenda- tion that the speedy Washington boy was suspended for so long a period. Upon the retirement of Mr. Raymond from the chairmanship of the board Mr. Gideon succeeded him in office, this making his seccnd year ‘as chairman of the bvard, and, according to his own report, his last year in the office. During that time he has wielded his ax unmercifully and chop- red off the head of many an amateur. His action in the Titus-Cabanne-Murphy matter brought severe denunciation upon his head, and his recent action in throw- ing over a hundred Richmond riders into the professional ranks has demoralized the rarks of the amateurs in that city. Personal Notes. An enjoyable cycle run was made by a party of local urattached riders Tuesday evening to Cycle Cottege. The ride was thcroughly enjoyed, the homeward trip be- ing made -o as to get in town before mid- night. Among those who went out were Misses McGirr, Irwin, Mullin and Good- sforting circles in this city whose name is 0 Per Cent Prior To REMOVAL On or about Oct. 5th we shall re- move to Mr. C. G.

Miss Gertrude Davis of 13th street gave a pleasant bicycle run to Cabin John bridge and return Monday evening. Upon their return to the city refreshments were served at the home of the hostess. Among those present were the Misses Donn, Bertha Adams, Grace Hill, Marion Trimble, Messrs. Richardson, Turpin, Lee, Stone and Dr. Ray. Colonel and Mrs. Winthrop, who are abroad, are at present making a cycling tour tarough England. Mrs. Winthrop is the inventor of a bicycle skirt, and hes been quite successful in having it placed on_the market. Policeman Dodge of the police cycle squad, who was injured several weeks ago, has recovered sufficiently to return to duty during the week. The Washington Athletic Club cycling contingent teok an enjoyable run last Sun- day to Fairfax Court House. Mr. E. G. Crabbe returned home during the week from a cycling tour along the eastern ccast, while on which he visited a good many summer resorts. Humane Officer Rabbitt and Mr. Charles E. Wood, with a party of young ladies, left the city ihis afternoon on a fishing trip to Seneca. They will return Monday. THE COMI CHESS S$) Executive Committee of the Wash- ington Club to Discuss Plan The executive committee of the Wash- ington Chess Club will hold a meeting this evening to discuss plans for the coming winter. Wednesday evening Messrs. Tharp and Tibbetts played the second game in their match to settle who is entitled to third prize in the tournament of the Washing- ton Chess Club, left unfinished from last season.
