WARFIELD SIMPSON, Expert Tailor, 1208 F St. SHAD SUPPLY DECREASING. fon of the Local Fish Market— Crabs Improving in Quality. During: recent days the catch of shad in the Potomac river has decreased to such an extent that in a weck's time the price of the fish has increas:d abvut 100 per cent, while herring are being caught in such large numters that it !s almost impossible to sive them away. A decrease in the catch of shad, such as has been experienced recently, is something new tv the fisher- men, who are unable to give any reason for it. Monday the arrival of 534,000 her- ring and 6,276 shad were reported, while Tuesday there were only 2,21f shad and v0 herring. During the two days In- ecior Harris condemned 205,000 herring, but no shad. Although the catch of shad is small a great many of the fish caught are heing shipped to other markets, where Con they are also bringing good prices. A great many of them were sent to New York for use in the hotels during the Grant and they are still in demand ©. Rock fish are also scarce and are bringing xvod prices. Because of the scar- city of rock in the Potomac the dealers are getting shipments of them from Havre de Grace. Blue fish are more plentiful than usual and are cheaper than ever before at this season of the year. Dealers are buy- ing them as low as $1.50 per 100 pounds. White perch are more plentiful than they were, and sume local anglers have been catching so many big ones in the river about the city that they have been helping to stock the market. While the season for diamond back terrapin is about over local dealers still have a few on hand. Soft crabs are gradually improving in quality, anc the market had a downward tendency. Heretofore the dealers have Jepended on stock from the Carolinas, but this week a few crabs were received from Crisfield, Md., the famous crabbing place. Next month the soft crabs will be much better than they are now, and they will also be much cheaper. —_—_ Marringe Licenses. Marriage licenses have be2n issued to the following White—Frank T.

A BOSTONSHERE TODAY After a Series of Defeats the Easterns to Meet the Senators. ANOTHER GAME LOST 10 NEW YORK Second of the Series for the High School Championship. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES The Washington team returned from New York last night and will meet the Boston aggregation at National Park this after- noon, game being called at 4:30. Charley Nichols will probably be in the"box for the visitors, while Mercer will do the twirling for the home club. Nichols has not round- ed into form yet and the Senators should be able to get a line on his curves enough to win out, as thg Beaneaters have always found the local star pitcher hard to find. Tomorrow is “ladies’ day” at National Park and another large attendance can be looked for. O. P. Caylor of the New York Heraid has the following to say of yesterday's game in that paper today: Another base ball hero was crowned by public approval at the Polo ground yester- day afternoon. His name by inheritance is Seymour, but for convenience he is called “Cy.” The young Albanian gave an exhi- bition of the real high-class pitching, show- ed that he has lost nearly all of that Bloomingdale paroxysmal mannerism which hedged him off from success in the early part of last season. In the first six in- nings exactly nineteen batsmen faced him at the plate—one more than the necessary three to an inning—and but a single hit was made from his delivery until the eighth inning. “Well, I guess we've got all the good pitchers this year,” whooped “Captain Bill,” as the game neared the end. It does look as if for once New York has a sur- plus of first-class ‘middle men.” If Sey- mour can keep up yesterday’s pace, and he probably can, he adds a fifth member to the great firm of Meekin, Rusie, Do- heny, Clarke & Co., with Sullivan, Gettig, Souder and Standish as silent partners. Aided by any kind of fair batting behind them New York's big five of pitchers should easily win two-thirds of their games during the season. Seymour had wonderful speed, and he is rapidly gaining control both of the ball and of himself. It was encouraging to see him siow down of his own accord yesterday when a situation became interesting. The improvement in the entire team no- ticeable on Tuesday was continued yester- day. The men were aggressive and confi- dent. They batted with more timely effect and ran bases with a daring which bespoke determination. “Uncle Jake” camped cut on the coaching line near his base when his side was at the bat and gave verbal en- couragement to the boys. Mr. Beckley can’t be suppressed. He must make re- marks as the game goes 8n, or he doesn’t consider himself in the game. A Question of Interference. Captains Joyce and Brown countered upon Mr. Lynch, the umpire, almost continuous- ly during the game. From the manner. in which the two rival leaders scowled, jawed and gesticulated at Lynch, it might be in- ferred that he was trying to rob both sides of the trophy and to take it himself.” It was noticeable, however, that while Cap- tain. Brown frequently succeeded in gaining audience with the august umpire, Captain Joyce seemed to be stricken from the list of Mr. Lynch's speaking acquaintances. Why this distinction was made {s not for the world to know. It ean only be recorded that it cost “‘Scrappycus” ten valuable dol- lars to tell Mr. Lynch that he was wrong in the construction of a rule. This occurred: when Gleason bit a ground- er inside the diamond near the right foul line. Norton started after the ball, and “the Giddy Kid” left the base line in drder to get near to the fielder as the latter reached the ball.. He made his point, for Norton missed the ball. Gleason was called out for interference. To emphasize his rul- ing in that case Lynch shortly afterward Ceclared Demont out for running over a batted ball which Seymour reached for as it lay on the unsodded path. So both sides got a taste of the ruling. 1f Captain Joyce will read sections 6, 7 and 8 of rule 50 he will se that Mr. Lynch was right in both instances. The rule makes it imperative for the base runner to run around the fielder if the latter is on the line attempting to field the ball, even if in so doing he goes outside the prescribed three-feet limit. It might be just as well that cach one of the Giants bears this ht mind also. Norton Batted Out. Norion lasted four innings for the Wash- ingtons. After Van Haltren had filed out in the first Tiernan hit a liner to center and Joyce followed with a three-bagger to the ropes in right center. Davis retired on an infield fly, but Gleason put a two-bagger into right and Beckley followed sult. Staf- ford’s fly ended the inning with three earn- ed runs. No more hitting was dcne till the fourth, when the Giarts touched off another bunch after two men had been retired. Seymour began with a single over second base, and was followed by Van Haltren and Tiernan with beautiful drives. Joyce took a base on balls and Davis singled to right. This hit- ting, with three stolen bases, netted three more earned runs. ‘The next block of three came in the sixth inning, and were made from the pitching of King, who had replaced Norton. Van Haltren bunted safely. Tiernan forced him in trying to sacrifice. Joyce hit safely. Davis was spared by Demont’s wide throw, and the bases were full. On Gleason’s long fly Tiernan scored and the other two moved up. Beckley sent them home with a drive for three bases over Brown's head. Hits by Van Haltren and Davis, an error by Cartwright and good base running put the last two runs home. Seymour began by striking out the first two batsmen. For six ‘nnings not a visitor reached second base. Davis’ high throw in the seventh gave Demont two bases. He went to third on an out and scored on a long fly. Two hits and a base on balls sent another around fh the eighth. In the ninth McGuire's three-bagger to center and an out gave Washington its third run. ‘The Giants leave this morning at 8 o'clock for Baltimore, where they will play during the rest of the week. Doheny is underlined to pitch this afternoon. A little more im- proven.ent in batting and team work which is coming will put the Giants where they belong—among the list of probable fennant winners.

The Newark team won its third straight game yesterday from the Athletics of Phil- adelphia, and Harry O'Hagan, the Wash- ington boy, secured a single and two home runs. Norfolk downed the Reading team, and as another Washington boy, Gilroy, is playing on that team it looks as if the players from this city are mascots. The Philadelphia papers are kicking on the time it takes to play a game in the Quaker city, 2 hours and 25 minutes being the average time. The scribes shouldn't lose sight of the fact that they have a slugging team, and when a great many hits are made it takes time to recover from them. When both teams are hitting a long game ts sure to follow. Jim McGuire got back in the game with his stick, making a three-bagger, and it is to be hoped that this good work will con- tinue. The heavy batters on the team, out- side of DeMont, have done very little work in that direction so far this season. Big Ed. Cartwright got one of the four hits made in New York yesterday and again fooled the “knockers.”” Cincinnati is about base ball crazy. Many of the local “fans” were frightened over the non-appearance of Corcoran, but little Richey has been doing so brilliantly and the club coming out on top they have set their wheels going and are shouting, “We'll never be headed.” Hanlon’s luck again! McGraw is under the weather and Joe Quinn is playing the bag as brilliantly as any one could do it. Besides, that dead one, Hughey Jennings, seems to be getting everything that com within an acre of the shert ston positio: What a great pitching corps “Scrapp: Joyce has with him this year. Meekin and Clarke are bound to come around and Do- heny and Seymour are doing work that Places them on the same plane with the great Rusie. The Gients are a little shy on fieldirg, but the pitcher has to be a good one to hold them in check. Tebeau shot it into the Cincinnati crowd yesterday in this way: “You fellows need the odds you have now. You know what kind of a lead you had last fall. Just lock back and see what a gap we closed up. We haven't got started yet. When we do they'll fall back to let us through.” Chauncey Fisher,who went to the Brook- lyn club from Cincinnati in the Corcoran- Smith-Fisher deal, is-in very bad health and has gone to Cuba to recuperate. Fisher is a good twirler and would have helped the Barnie Bridegrooms along coasider- ably. ‘The Boston players are on the warpati. They claim that the Baltimores are playing dirty ball. Jennings, Quinn and Doyle aid considerable tripping and holding during the Boston series in the monumental city. ‘The umpires of all the leagues have got along remarkably well so far ihis season, but little ‘kicking being indulged in, and nothing of a serious nature matcrializing. Lynch at New York is about the oniy one that has been cailed hard names by. the papers. But then his decisions were in Washington's favor. A GAME SH PRESERVE. The Potomac to Be Mande a Paradise for Anglers. Several days ago, by direction of the ex- ecutive committee of the District of Co- l.mbia Game and Fish Protective Associa- tion, Dr. W. P. Young, secretary-treasurer, addressed a letter to United States Fish Commissioner John J. Brice, requesting that the upper waters of the Potomac river be stocked with crappie and large-mouthed bess. In respcnse to Dr. Young’s letier Commissiover Brice immediately informed him that arrangements would be made to make a liberal plant of the two species of fish in the Potomac next fall at suitable points. . The members of the association, who comprise nearly all the gentlemen sports- men of Washington, are very much grat- ified over this additional recognition of the Potomac as a game fish preserve by Com- missioner Brice, and a prominent member of the executive committee voiced the sen- timent of his associates and of all the an- glers in the country this morning in a con- versation with a Star reporter. “I am well acqvainted with Capt. Brice,” he remarked, “and am familiar with his policy and the work he has accomplished since he has been at the head of the fish commission. He has adapted practical bus- ipess methods to an important branch of the government which have met with the views of those engaged in the commercial side of the fish business as well as of those who enjoy pursuit of the game species. “You know how readily he preceived the wisdom of seining the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and removing the bass and other food fish contained in it to the Potomac. I was the first to call the scheme to his attention and request his co-operation. Within five minutes he had given directions to have all the nets required placed at our disposal, and ordered four of the best fish commis- sion employes to duty in assisting in the seining. “Requests of a similar character from all parts of the country are complied with, where the advantages to accrue to the sec- tions under consideration are preceptible, aud in the propagation of the fishes whose capture and sale are so.important commer- cefally the commission is doing a remarkable work when compared with that done in the past. He has directed the scientific part of the commission toward practical ends, and the results are excellent. The young shad, for instance,.which were born this spring are being followed through every stage of their existence from the time their umbilical sacs disappear to the mouths of the rivers in which they were spawned. Their life in the brackish waters at the river mouths ts being studied, and when they go out to sea they will be followed there, and their return as full-grown shad watched with equal care.” Py Century Road Club Election. ‘The annual election of the Century Road Club of America ended yesterday at Chi- cago.
