AGAIN 2 CORCORAN CADETS AND ATHLETICS epi. aes, What is Said at Harvard of a Race With Yale. —_+ CURRENT SPORTING ——__.____ NOTES A committee .composed of Messrs. Eng- lsh, Wilson, Jolly and Maupin, representing the Central and Eastern High Schools, met yesterday afternoon to decide the dispute arising from last Friday's foot ball game. The committee was unable to reach an agreement as to the game, the referee, Dr. Stuart Johnson, holding to his decision authorizing the taking out of time for the delay on the part of the Eastern team. The Eastern representatives, Capt. Mau- pin and Mr. Wilson, were happily enabled to clear up the misapprehension in regard to the Eastern’s protest, which, as stated in The Star last Saturday, was based upon an interpretation of the rules and did not question the honesty or judgment of Mr. English, the linesman, who acted entirely under the direction of the referee. | Mr. Wilson, on the part of the Eastern School, disavowed responsibility for the unfortu- nate excesses of partisans. It was finally decided in the interest of harmony to play another game, possibly the last of the present week. PITCHING FROM A CANNON. Operating a Buse Eall Princeton, Frem the Philadelphia Press, PRINCETON, N. J., December 15.—Prof. Charles H. Hinton gave tonight a demon- stration of the practical worth of the base ball pitching cannon, recently invented and perfected by him. The exhibition given in the university gymnasium attracted a large crowd of undergraduates, who were inter- ested to learn the practical value of Prof. Hinton’s invention. Jerome Bradley, captain of the ‘96 cham- pionship base ball team, formally intro- duced Prof. Hinton, who delivered a brief lecture concerning his pitching machine and its use before displaying its merits. Prof. Hinton said, in part, that he in- tended ht cannon to be a labor-saving ma- chine, that would relieve pitchers of the enormous strain put upon them by arduous practice. “Pitchers,” he said, “die young becaluse of the excessive strain upon the muscles in the region of the heart; again, this carnon will throw the ball swifter and more accurate than can a man, and I be- lieve tha: base ball players will find it of great assistance’ to them, at least during the months of practice. Prof. Hinton described the way In which the cannon was operated. The cannon is smooth bore and not rifled, as many sup- pose. The curve is produced in any direc- Uon desired by prongs which protrude from the cannon’s mouth and agdinst which the ball rubs in passing; acquiring a rotary motion, which causes the curve. Shifting these prongs from the right.to the left side of the cannon or from top to bottom regu- lates the direction of the curve-in, out, up- shoot or drop. The speed with which the ball is thrown depends upow the amount of powder placed in the eartridge. A temporary back-stop made of canvas was built in the gymnasium, and from the cannon, stationed at pitcher's distance from the canvas, Prof. Hinton discharged the bal! a number of times, displaying the various curves and speed tWat he could im- part to the ball. The exhibition was a complete success. = Many of the base ball players who were present when interviewed stated that they believed the cannon would “prove a labor- saving machine, and Capt. Bradley will use it at practice during winter months in the cage. Machine at CORCORAN CADETS. Basket Ball and Other Athletic Interest Many Members, While the local athletes have becn busy on the field and in the gymnasium the Cor- coran Cadets have not been idle. Their symnasium has been renovated during the past month, although all the contemplated improvements have not yet been made. New apparatus is being added, and before long the corps will have one of the best syms in the elty. ‘ Basket ball seems to be the leading ath- letic sport of the corps, and many of the beys appear for practice nearly every night. Davis and Dodge are continuing their fine work in that line, and before the season closes they will number among the best in the league. Although light in weight the boys are increasing in. skill, and, providing the new rules are strictly followed this year, they will give the other clubs a hard fight for the head of the list. Schroeder is a regular attendant in the “gym,” and free throws seem ‘to be vefy easy for Fim. Some hard field throws are also made by him, Davis and Dodge. Roland and McQueeny are fast becoming experts at bag punching. The boys have been trying a 30-yard run lately, and it is being made tn. good time. ‘Deacon’ Collins and “Buddy” Davis seem to have the best of it, with O'Connell and Giusta close followers. The flying rings seem to be a great at- traction for some of the boys, and “Little Midg” Hazard, although small, can outdo some of the larger men. Roland, Davis and Boulay have- been practicing high jumping and vaulting, and will soon be nearing the record of the District. Boxing has been taken up by some, and a few of them are very clever in the use of their “dukes.” Putsche has been doing some graceful work on the flying trapeze. Giusta seems to take to the parallel bars, and he has surprised some of the men with his proficiency. The corps has a great many cyclists among its numbers, who occasionally take runs through the surrounding country. The corps has been a success socially, and as a military organization it hopes that some of its members will be among the leading athletes of the District. During the last two months the boys organized a foot ball team and got in some hard work, but, as they could not devote much time to practicing, they have not played a match. DEPENDENT ON THE RACE. Sports Whether Yale and Harvard Will Re- Establish Athletic Contests. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 16.— There is considerable impatience in college athletic circles over the long delay in the cempletion of an agrcemerit between Har- yard and Yele. It 1s expfained, however, by those in charge of affairs that the hitch in proceedings is but slight, and as matters are patched up in this regard reconcilia- tion will be speedily effected in all sports. It is understood on high authority that Yale sent to Harvard a’request to fow the boat race on the Thafnes at New London next June, and that Harvard, without ab- solutely refusing this proposition, replied that it would be practically impossible to do so, as she is bound’ to/rpw Cornell on the Hudson, and it wdyld b¢ unreasonable to expect her to transfer her training quar- ters to New London after, the race at Poughkeepste. ‘ Little more has transpired ‘than this, and the matter {s still “in the air.” Should no boat race be held it is not likely that Har- vard will renew relations with Yale In any other branch of athletics next spring. “The idta ‘thet Harvard is trying to force Yale into the Cornell race,” said a member of the Harvard athletic committee to an Associated representative, “is erro- neous. Harvard, is not trying in any way to draw Yale into that race. We must, ac- cording to our agreement, row Cornell next June, though not necessarily m the quad- with Yale on-the Hudson two weeks be- fore or after the Cornell race. To row Yale on the Thames seems to us almost out. of the question.” E | Philadelphinus Want the Regatta.

Boston oarsmen want the re- | gatta in their town, and it is probable that there will be other bids. ‘The agreement | with the Saratoga people ended last year, | and most of the oarsmen thought it best to go somewhere else for a few years, the sec- retary said.

Clerks and Congressmen‘s S§; To the Editor of The Evening Star: It has been but a few days since a mem- ber of Congress introduced an “increasing of revenue scneme” in the House, provid- ‘ng for a ten per cent reduction of the Salaries of the many-times-hit-at govern- ment clerks, which was doubtless a mas- terstroke of economical legislation in the mind of the would-be savior of his country. As a further instance of the economical fever, now raging in that body, a bill was introduced Saturday last, providing ‘for an Increase of $2,000 per annum in the sal- ary of the Speaker of the House, and $2,500 per annum for each Senator and R op resentative. Taking into consideration the total num- ber of Senators and Representatives,the ma_ jority of whom are not dependent on their salaries for their livelihood, it seems most just and equitable that they should im- mediately appropriate to themselves a por- tion of the revenue obtained by bleeding the men who are absolutely dependent up- on their salaries to provide the necessaries of life for themselves and families.
