TRYING 70 PLACE THE LOCAL TEAM | Preliminary Practice of the Dif- ferent Nines- = ae on NOTES OF THE PLAYERS ‘The sensational deals that were expected to materialize at the late league meeting have failed to come to pass. The mag- nates met, transacted their business and left for differer+ sections of the country without so mucn as releasing the player, far as is generally known, let alone transferring whole or parts of icams from one city to another. President Robison did not take his Cleve- so land team to some other city, nor did he release any of the players, so far as the public 's aware. The public knows, how- ever, what did take place, and can well afford to let the future take care of itself. After all the sensational talk about the transfer of players, there will be very little difference in the general make-up of the tweive clubs of the major league this year from that of last season. 3 As is to be expected, here and there a h face will be seen; while not wholly v to the base ball enthusiasts, they will make their initial appearance with this or that particular team. For instance, Cor- coran. formerly of the Brooklyns, will suc ceed Gecrge Smith as short stop on the Cin- cinnati team, and the latter will make his reappearance with the Brooklyns, filling his cld position at short. With Smith goes ‘hauncey Fisher, a pitcher, who did very nd work last season at indianapolis. The Haltimore-Pittsburg exchange will afford another noticeable shift of players. Stenzel, lately of the Pittsburg club, will play r field for the Orioles, while Bredie and Donnelly of last season's cham- FP. . Nercum, Fall River, Mass, pions will be found with the smoky city team this season. Perry Werden, the vet- eran fir: man, will make his reap- » league ranks, after several he minors, as a result of his s.

These improve- ments are looked for in the Bosten, New York, Chicago and Washington clubs For placing the local team in ninth place in last Saturday's Star considerable criti cism was caused, the more enthusiastic patrons rating the club high as fifth others expressin mselves as being fled if beat out the Brooklyns. » thing is apparent, the Senators have | everything to win and nothing to lose by | od place in the race. That a zers is not necessary to win trated in the a) win- rs of ‘eveland and € ago clubs. Senators will work together with a st and third bases be well taken is no telling what may hap- cing the local club ahead of very good ‘team Is assigned to Look at that outfield—Jones, Anderson.

It Y | pitchers and catchers that the show to better advantage. | Of the clubs ahead that might come back and take the dust of Washington are the ‘burg, Philadelphias and Bostons. ‘These three clubs will either play great bai or go to pieces through factional strife. What the local followers of the game want | to do fs to lie low and say nothing. If the Senators finish in ninth place, well and wood; if they go up to fifth, it wili be glorious; but so much shouting has been done in past seasons in the first month or | two that the majority of “fans” have about come to the conclusion to keep under cover and hope for the hest. The friends of the deaf boy, “Billy” Hoy. will be glad to learn that the popular play: |er has an invention which he thinks | seriously of having patented during the winter months. Hoy hit vpen a scheme e considerable trouble that vers have experienced in having the of thelr shoes torn by the rivets in the plate pulling out! The little deaf mute is a shoemaker by trade, and he has fixed | tp a pair of shoes with a metal insole, to | h the iron plates can be attached with- causing the player any inconventence. e bell s it will prove a winner. and he as opened negotiations with a sporting goods firm with a view of putting his in- | vention on the market. He will not take a that will obvia ~ apprectated | chance of getting the worst of it, as did Latham on an invention of me kind. Latham is the orig- inator of the plate now used on the shoes of ail professional ball players. At least, he is the inventor of an improvement on the original shoe plate. He told a promi- rent manufacturer of base ball shoes of Lis dea. The shoe man grabbed at it, and Latham never received as much as a pair of shoes for his pains. Hoy will have his invention patented, and if there fs anything in it will reap a harvest. Frank Dwyer is another player who | thought seriously of going into business last fall. Manager Bancroft of the Cincin- natis had all arrangements made to secure the rights, recently surrendered by Earl Wagner and Gus Schmelz, to produce the poor “Arlie™ arly the “Texas Steer.” Dwyer was to furnish part of the capital and act as treasurer; Ban- croft was to put up the balance of the money and be the manager. Something went amiss, and the base ball theatrical venture did not take the road, although it was rumored “Uncle” Anson's trial trip In | “A Runaway Colt” rather threw a wet blanket on the contemplated tour. The news furnished The Star Thursday definitely with all the members of his staff of umpires was hailed with considerable satisfaction by thousands of followers of the national game. The fact that the local | patrons can witness a game of ball with Hurst, Lynch or Emslie as arbitrator adds additional charm to the cohtemplation of the coming season, and in the retention of these three men “Uncle Nick” has again given a substantial demonstration of the is con- fined in his cranium back and above the ears. Whether the men secured the ad- vance in salary Usked for is a question, but as the magnates as a rule did not kick very hard over the dema:ds of the “big three,” and as Mr. Young is really their represen; tative, it is not a hard guess to make that the advance was acceded to, |SENSATIONAL BEALS If this.. be. true, it is gimply « recognition of worth. | S2amteloN!ty and long and consistent serv- ‘tee. A dyed-in-the-wool crank may object to the decisions now and then of either Hurst, Lynch or Emsile, but, whether right or wrong, the majority of the patrons of the game are with these men, and what they say goes. They may erg, but it will be an honest error, and honesty is what has put and ts keepirg base ball on its sub- stantial financial footing today. The Cincinnati team, under the guardian- ship. of Manager Ewing, was the first to start for the south this season for pre- Mminary practice, the club leaving for New Orleans March 4. The team was to play its first game last Sunday with the New Orleans club, but rain made a_postpone- ment necessary. Every member of the team except Tommy Corcoran is now hard at work in the crescent city, and Ritchie, who has been secured to take Corcoran's place, will join the ‘41m in a few days. Without Corcoran the team’s chances of winning the pennant are lowered about 15 per cent, but Ritchie may turn out a cracker-jack, and fh that case the Reds will be in the race from start to finish. Ewing never felt better, and will surely play the initial bag. The new men with the team are giving bright promise of proving able to hold up their end, and, should they turn out first- class, every position on the team will be well fortified in case of accident or sick- ness. The Philadelphias left for the south last Wednesday, and next week will find every club in the league hard at work trying out their men and getting things in ship shape for the big battle for the pennant. The collapse of the Southern League will handi- cap the clubs in the south to a certain ex- tent, as they will have to play amongst themselves instead of having a regular or- genized team for opponents. Five of the clubs wi!l practice at home, Washington, Cleveland, Louisville, New York and St. Louis. Chicago goes to Hot Springs, and the remainder to different cities in the south. Notes of the Game. The offer of $100,000 for the Cleveland club by the Brooklyn club owners may amount to nothing, but if the truths were known it would be found that the bid came very nearly landing the prize. That much meney in cash is not to be despised. ‘Three more local piayers have found berths in professional clubs. Powell and Handiboe have been secured by Manager John Irwin for his Taunton, Mass., team, and Boncher goes to Fall River. If this thing keeps up there will not be enough players in town to form one club, let alone a league. Manager Stallinge of the Phillies agrees with The Star that the marrying fever that lately attacked the Baltimore players will weaken that team the coming season. Mc- Mahon, Robinson and Esper were about the only married men on the team heretofore. It is to be hoped that the voting contests for bicycles or anything else out at Na- tional Park will be discontinued this sea- son. Considerable iil feeling was aroused last year over the contest for the bicycle, and Mr. Wagner owes it to himself to pre- vent any bickerings arising in the club. Hanlon refuses to waive claim to ‘Jud’ Smith, the third baseman who was expected to cover that position for Syracuse the coming season. Smith belongs to Pitts- burg, but Donnelly has frozen him out, and he is too good to release. If Hanlon wants im it is a pretty good guess that he is something of a player. Mercer, O'Brien, Norton and Wrigiey are expected in Washington next week, and perhaps Charley Farrell. If the pleasant weather continues the players will flock toward National Park like bugs toward an electric light. The amendment to the hit-by-pitcher rule, allowing the vatter to go to first, no matter where a pitched ball may hit him, is a good one, and will prevent a great eal of wrangling and make it easier for the umpires. The club of Washington players Harry O'Hagan expects to stack up against the Serators April 7 will include Bert Myers. Pitcher Lothrop, Catcher Hodge and prob- ably DeMontreville and Abbey. Wrigley will p hort for the Senators. Norton has finally sent his signed con- tract to Mr. Wagner. He pitched but four games last season, aud held the Cleveland and St. Louis clubs down to five hits apiece. It is expected that Norton will get into the Mercer and McJames class this season. ‘The Washington club this year will travel 8,503 miles, which Is 1,091 miles less than the ‘05 schedule called for. Corecran, MeCreary, Clarke and Irwin are amorg the players who refuse to sign contracts with their clubs this year. een ALE PRODUC = MARKET. Eggs Remarkably Low—Butter Firm— Cheese Scarce. In most instances prices in the local wholesale produce market today are those quote] a week ago. Eggs, however, have Geclined from 1 cent to 2 cents a dozen since this day a week ago, and they are so plentiful that, unless the weather under- goes a great change, still lower prices may be looked for between now and Easter, when an advance may be expected. Butter is firm in the finest grades, but the lower grades are dull. Prices are those of last veek, with no indications of a change one Way or the other. Cheese, while very scare: remains at the same prices. The m weather has created a greater demand for live poultry, but prices are practically un- changed. Turkeys are somewhat higher, and their season will soon be over. Vege- tables and fruits show but little material change, and the same is true of beef and other meats. On the whole the market is well supplied, and the general tone is a healthy one. The following are the prices prevailing today: Butter—Elgin extra: choice, 18; firsts, 1 econds, 16; bakers’ choice stock, 13 to 15; New York tubs, 16; dairy print, 18; western, 14; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 16; dairy packed, 16.

METHODISTAPASTORS Dr. Huntley.Retarnstto Washington to Occupy: Trinity's Pulpit.: SIX NEW MINISTERS ASSIGNED: HERE Lives and Services 36 the Various Newcomens. THE NEXT CONFERENCE es At the meeting of the Baltimore confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church there were six new pastors sent to the Washington churches as against seven last year. Of the six only two were sent to charges made vacant by the expiration uf the five-year time limit, the other four be- ing sent to churches whose pastors were transferred elsewhere without serving out the full term. ‘The custom. is for the new pastors to occupy their pulpits the first Sunday after conference, and consequentiy, it is confidently expected that all six. will be heard at the services tomorrow. ‘che new ministers “are, with the exception of two, strangers to Washington, though al} of them are ‘known here by reputation. They are as ‘follows: Anacostia Church, Charles O. Isaac; Fifteenth Street, Rev. 8. Reese Murray, D. D.; Foundry. Rev. Lu- cien Clark, D. D.; North Capitol Street, Rev. Page Milburn; Trinity, Rev. E. D. Huntley, D. D.-and Wesley Church, Rev. J. Fred ‘Heisse. Rev. Chartes 0. Isaac;.who.succeeds Rev. John McLaren at Anacostia, was born at Ellicott City. Md., and resided there until he entered the work of the Baltimore con- ference, March, 1883, as a supply for two years on St. Mary's circuit, Md. His ap- pointments since then, in order, have been as follows: 1885, Antietam circuit; 1886, Rev. Chas, 0. dxnac. Fort Avenue, Baltimore,: and Frederick, Md.; 1587, Harper's Ferry, W. Va.; 1800, Bennett Memorial, Baltimere, and 1802, Ap- pold Church, Baltimoré. While Anacostia is_one of the smaller churches of the Washington district, yet it is one of the most satisfactory that @ pastor could have, the congregation being compact and united. The new pastor of! Fiftesnth Street Church, Rey. Stockton» Reese Murray, D. D., is no stranger to Washington, though he has never occupied the pulpit of a Method Episcopal church here before. Rey. W. W. Van Arsdale, until recently pastor, was transferred much to the ur prise of his church, which wished him re- tained, but noi to his personal friends, just before leaving for eonference Mr. Van Arsdale had expressed a wish. for a new charge, feeling that the work here was en- tirely (oo much for his strensth. Dr. Mur- ray, his successor, was born in Chaaieston, S.C., and after entering the ministry: of the Methodist Protestant Church, served in two of the most desirable appointments in the south, those at Montgomery, Ala., and Rev. S$. Reese Murray. . Lynchburg, Va. Dr. Murray was educated in Baltimore and at the Western Unive sity, Allegheny, Pa., from which institution he has received the degrees of Master cf Arts and Doctor of Divinity. He served for a number of years in the Maryland M. P. conference, having been for some time at Central M. P. Church of this city, but last year he severed his connection with the Methodist Protestant Church and he- came a member of the Baltimore M. E. conference. Dr. Murray is described as a man of marked ability, a hard student and a fine speaker, which qualities have ob- tained for him several offers to become president of educational institutions. Rev. Lucien Clark, D.D., who will come to Foundry Church, is a man of fine pres- ence, fifty-three years old, and -an ex- cellent pulpit orator. He has an interest- ing family of three children, one of whom, a young lady, is now studying abroad. He was born in Ohio, received his education at the Ohio Wesleyan University, and soon after entered the Cincinnati conference, serving churches in that city and at Day- ton and Springfield. From Cincinnati he went to Pittsburg, then to the Erie con- ference and finally became assistant edi- tor of the Christian Advocate at New York. Madison Avenue was his first ap- pointment in the Baltimore conference and Foundry Church is the second. Of the new pastors, Rev. Page Milburn of North Capitol Street Church is the only one who is a native of Washington, born and bred.
