For one thing the class of educated professional tal! pinyers has been considerably increased in the Na- tional League arena of late years; and hence more attention ts devoted to the work of studying up the principles of the art of pitching, and less to that of the habit of folowing in the rutty footsteps of pitching predecessors than of old. Experi- ence shows more and more each year that the pitching corps of a club’s team is the main dependence for success in winning pennants, though it also needs the import- ant assistance of thorough team work sup- port in the field, as also at the-bat and in dase running to make a team a winner as @ whole. Season after season has the fact neen plainly realized, too, that mere machine work ‘in the pitcher's box has become less and less effective, the powers of the de- fense, at the hands of skillful batsmen, ac- customed to use their heads as well as their muscles in their work in facing the pitch- ers, having been largely increased. In this regard it may be truly said that the days of the mere “cyclone” pitcher—the pitcher whose only strength lies in the in- timidating speed of his wild delivery—have been numbered, and that this class of pitchers are being yearly replaced by skilled strategic pitchers, whose ‘head- work™ delivery makes them potent factors in a corps of pennant winners. Brains Employed. Taken as a whole, the history of the league does not show a single season n which the art of pitching was as strikingly illustrated on league club grounds as in 1806. The special points of really skillful strategic pitching were more frequently exhibited in the league arena during the past season than ever before. Baismen were more frequently deceived as to the character of the delivery than hither‘o; then, too, that effective point of a well disguised change of pace was brought into play with more telling effect; in addi- tion to which greater command of the ball In delivery, as shown by the smaller aver- age of bases on balls by the leading yitch- ing teams, was exhibited last year than in any previous season. The curves, too, were used with greater effect, especially the eye-deceiving slow drop bail, which has never been practiced with greater suc-ess than in 1896. The past pitching season may be said to have been exceptional in regard not only to the success of several colt debuiants on the league fields, but also In the number of resuscitated veterans, wao, in leaving off old methods of machine work in thetr pitching, have taken on new poin:s cf piay more in line with the art of pitching than they had ever practiced before. Kicking. With all this improvement in neadw rk pitching, shown by a minority of the league club pitchers of 1896, there still remains some habitual weaknesses in the methods which need reformation to make the work of the corps complete as a whole; and among these old rutty ways in box work which need reforming is that of the folly the majority in their failure to control thelr quick tempers, and especially the costly weakress of ‘kicking agairst decisions of ump:res on called bails and strikes. This latter habit so plainly bor- ders on stupidity that it clashes witi the intelligent work In other respects which the ablest class of pitchers in the League ac- complished during 1896. The Pitching Muscles. An important matter for serious consid- eration has come into notice in 1806, rela- tive to the amount of box work a pitcher is capable of enduring: through the medium of a practical examination of the muscles of a pitcher's arm, who had worked his scles unduly in deing the curves to ex- ss in his pitching. The pitching arm of a player who had died by accident was left to a noted surgeon in October last, who, on examination, developed the fact | that’ the muscles of the arm had been so | twisted by excessive curving of the ball as to form a bunch of distorted muscles above the forearm, thereby rendering the arm useless for life for any muscular use it could be put to. ‘The question naturally arises, how far can a piteher go in the exercise of the spe- al muscles required to develop the c used in pitching? In the Old Days. Old pitchers of the early period of pro- fessional bell playing have been accus- temed to laugh at the complaints of mod- ern pitchers being overworked: remem- bering, as the veterans did, now of old they were accustomed to plich day in and day out through a whole season, without com- plaint of overwcrk. But these latter pitch- ers forget the important fact that in their time curved pitching was almost unknown, and only the muscles required for use in straight pitching were used. In accomplish- ing the variety of curves in use in modern strategic pitching, however, a class of hitherto unused muscles have been brought into play, such as those required to give the rotary motion to tne pitched baii necessary in the development of the and “out” curves, the “down shoot’ and “rising ball,” and the effective “drop ball” in vogue in modern curve pitching. The knowledge of the costly nature of too much work in curved pitching brings out che fact that more pitchers will be required on a team corps for up-to-date pitching than was dreamed of in the decade of the 70's. ‘The Leading Pitchers. S so ‘in’* Looking over the mass of pitching sta- tistics I have to arrange for the League Guide of 1897, I found the following in- teresting table, showing the leading pitcher in each of the twelve league clubs, accord- ing to his percentage of victorious figures. | U have added the batting average figure to pitcher: second, as also that of the led runs earned off his pitching, . by the way, were not so earned, as they are obtained by both hits and stolen bases combined. Until the more perfect 1 ef using data based on runs earned from base hits alone ts adopted, the per- centage of victories figures will remain as the only fair criterion left us by which to judge a pitcher's skill in the box.

The second week of the tournament at the Washington Chess Club closes this evening. Saturday evening Messrs. Dun- ham and Tibbetts played a well-contested game, which was won by Mr. Dunham. The game scheduled between Messrs, Wright and Harrison was not played Sat- urday evening, but will be played tonight. Messrs. Walker and Harris played a game Saturday evening, which was won by the former in forty-five moves. Mr. Harris lost @& pawn on the twenty-fourth move, but had a good game up to the forty-second move, when he played poorly and uilowed his opponent to win a pawn and then get an easy mate. Wednesday evening Tibbetts and Thomas played a game, which was won by the former. Mr. Thomas obtained an excellent attack, but by skillful play Mr. ‘Tibbetts withstood ft and came out of the fray two pies ahead.

The winter tournament at the Capital Bi- cycle Club is to be a handicap affair. ‘The rules provide that there shall be five class- es—“scratch,” pawn and two moves, knight odds, rook cds and queen odds. Each con- testant plays two games with every other participant. There will be two prizes, for the highest and second highest percentages: and to be eligible for a prize a player must play at least sixteen games and at least one game with a player in each class. Games must be played at any time on o before February 15 next. Entries ciose to- night, and play will commence Monday The entries to date are the following: ‘9. N. Macdantel, D. A. Usina, F. W. , F.

Whistern, The third and last match in the serles between teams representing the Columbia Athletic Club and the Capital Bicycle Club was played Thursday evening at the club house of the latter, and, like the previous matches, resulted in a victory for the C. BI. C.'s, by the narrow margin of three tricks. The C. A. C.'s made a change in their team, which consisted of Messrs. Jules Wooten, captain; A. G. Safford, E. G. Walls and J. R. Hampton, but it did not affect the result. The opponents put forth their best efforts, and secured a com- manding lead tn the first round, which it was impossible to overcome, though the wearers of the winged arrow did the better playing in the last two rounds. ‘The maich was full of beautiful plays, some of the hands being especially interes ing, and affording opportunities for diversi- fied play. The C. Bi. C.’s gained five tricks on the first deal, partially due to poor play- ing, but the C. A. C.'s returned the com- pliment on the twenty-fifth deal, and scored six iricks in their favor. The home team consisted of Messrs. Carr, Barrick, Low and Quackenbush. ‘The score by deals and rounds is as follow: First round: A.C. C.A.C, C.BLC, 0100000000 1 500021002 Hv 10 Second round: oot1200000 4 020000000 2 4 ‘Third round: ov00610002 9 010200000 0 3 la 7 In each of the former matches the C. Bi. C.'3 won by one trick. As this is written, the probabilities are that the Columbia Athietic Club will not send a team to Phiiadciphia to compete with the celebrated Hamiltons, holders of the A. W. L. chailenge trophy, tonight. Mr. Harry Low thinks his business will prevent his leaving the city at this time, and the other members of the team do not care to go into such an important match wi ut him. Mr. Low has played in nearly every match played by the club with outside teams. ,Vast Saturday evening was. guest night, pair whist, at the Capital Bicycle Club. ‘Twenty. pairs took part, and each played twenty deals. ‘he ieading scores were made as fcllows: North and South—Quackenbush and Carr, 1414; Hocke and Rines, 132; Williams and Fogg, oung and Selden, 128; McComi and 128; Low and’ Barrick, 12s.

Ladies’ drive whist is scheduled for next Friday evening at the C. Bi, C. At the Capital Bicycle Ciub Wednesday evening eight pairs contested, sixteen hands dupiicate whist, Selden and Young leading north and sovth with a score of 1%, and Macdaniel and G.

Interest Increasing Owing Change in the Rules. ‘The interest in basket ball is increas- ing, and the change of rules has had a beneficial effect in point of attendance. Th's clearly shows that the spectators enjoy a clean game of ball, in which brains are used instead of brawn. The players are getting in trim and working well under the new rules. The opening games of the sea- son were somewhat rough, but now every- thing 1s working smoothly. In all there have been nine games scheduled up ‘to date, and out of this number seven games have been played. si Only one game was played this week, and that Tuesday evening. The Corcoran Cadet Corps and the Washington Light Infantry will play this evening at the latter’s gym- to the nasium, Two games are scheduled for next week. The Carroll Institute will meet the Eastern Athletic Club at the former's playing ‘ground, on Tuesday evening. Tne foliowing evening the Queer Wheelmen will line up against the Washthtton Light In- fantry. The first half of the series will end Wed- resday, December 23, leaving three more scheduled games to be played In addition to those mentioned above. While the stard- ing at the end of the firat series does not materially follow that such will be the case at the close of the second series, up to date the standing of the clubs will prob- ably prove a surprise to a good many. The Eastern Athletic Club stands in the lead, with the Washington Light Infantry following. Neither team has been defeated, though the former club has two more Games to its credit than the latter. The team of the Washington Athletic Club is playing in miserable form at present, and has not succeeded in winning a single game. * The standing of the clubs follow: ‘ame. Won. Lost. P.

Mr. Lewin Loses in Hin First Contest With Mr. Staples. Judge Hagner, in the case of Morgan D. Lewis against Oren G. Staples, which arose out of the lease by Mr. Staples of the Wil- lard Hotel property to Mr. Lewis, er dey afternoon discharged the rule issue: against Col. Staples to show cause. Mr. Lewis filed his suit last month, claim- irg that he leased the property February 1, 1895, and that he purchased its equip- ments for $60,000, giving a chattel mort- gage on them. He alleged that the pur- chase was based upon statements of Col. Staples as to the patronage of the hotel and he insisted that the amount of bu ress was exaggerated. He therefore ed that the contract for the rescinded, for an accounting by pies, and that the latter be enjoined f presecuting a suit recently fi him for rent, upen which an attachroont was issued. Answering the suit Col. Staples submitted to the court affidavits of hotel emploses, and he contended that the statements made by him as to receipts, djsiarsements and cpplies: were absolutely“accurate, and he also submitted aftidavits of an expert boo! keeper and the cashier of the hotel, claim- ing that the accounts had been fully ex- plained to Mr. Lewis. On this showing by Col. Staples Judge Hagner,said he could but discharge the rule iggued against him, and the court intimated that it was im probable that Mr. Lewis would have en- tered into the enterprise without first mak- ing an investigation. Col. Staples was represénted by Attorney John B. Larner and Wm, F. Maiting! Messrs. A. S. Worthington! aad J. M. Vale appearing on behalf of Mfr; fewis. > The Tennessee Centennial. At a meeting of the geperion to ar- ph $e range for an exhibit frdm- the District of Columbia at the Tennesggé ‘centennial ex- hibition, held yesterday afternoon in the District building, it was dec#led to ask of Congress an appropriation of $10,000 to de- fray the expenses of the exhibit. A com- mittee, consisting of Messrs. Gardiner G. Hubbard, W. B. Powell, W. V. Cox and I. T. Jobe, was appointed to urge the Com: missioners to include such a sum in their estimates. A plan for the exhibit was discussed, the general impression prevailing that among other features there should be a complete showing of the educational system in op- eration here, together with phetographs of striking views of the city and models of the District of Columbia, Mt. Vernon, Arling- ton and the Soldiers’ Home. —_——_ A New York dispatch to the Baltimore Sun says: The Lazarus scholarship for the study of mural painting was awarded yes- terday to George W.
