Charley Farrell, the Washington catcher, had just batted a short fly to second base, being the third hand out, in the game be- tween the Cleveland and Washington clubs yesterday at Cleveland, when Poiice Captain English and President Robison of the home club walked on the field, and the former placed both clubs and Umpire Hurst under arrest. The game had been extensively adver- tised, and, in consequence, there was a big attendance. All the railroads ran excur- sions, and a large number of enthusiasts from surrounding towns arrived in the elty during the forenoon. Soon after noon the cars running to the ball park began to be crowded. Long before the hour for the game the grounds were jammed, and the turnstile showed that 10,000 people had passed the gates. It was impossibie to ad- mit any more without letting them on the field, and the gates were closed. Still at least 5,000 persons clamored for admission. At a conference yesterday morning a pro- gram had been arranged by the police and President Robison of the Cleveland club. Accordingly, when one inning of the game had been played, Police Captain English and President Robison walked on the fieid. The captains of the two teams called their men, and Robison told them to get into their omnibuses and go to the station house, At the first sight of the police some of the crowd hissed and yelled, “Put them out.” Most of the spectators remained in their seats, thinking the players would return and the game be resumed. At last it be- came apparent that the game had been de- clared off, and about half of those present availed themselves of the opportunity to get their money back, the others being content to retain the coupons entitling them to see the game today or the one of tomorrow. The players took naturedly. The "buses were driven rapidly to the Central station, where players and umpire were docketed. President Robison promptly gave bail in the sum of $100 for each player. They were then released, and went to their hotels. : The members of the teams taken into custody were Burkett, Sockalexis, Tebeau, McKean, Powell, Wallace, Blake, Zimmer and Wilson of the Clevelands, and Brown, Seibach, De Montreville, Farrell, O’Brien, Cartwright, Abbey, German and Reilly of the Washingtons, It is announced that the players will be arrested again next Sunday, or as many times as they try to play. their arrest good- IN OTHER LEAGUE CITIES. Cincinnatis Keep Up Their Winning Streak at Home. The Cincinnati Red Legs have taken on a winning streak and yesterday continued their good playing at home by winning from Louisville by the score of 7 to 6.

PITTSBURG, May 15, 1897. A pitchers’ battle, in which the young- ster won, was the exciting eyent at Expo- sition field today. The Washingtons were anxious to take the last game from the Pittsburgs, and with Mercer on the slab and Tom Brown back in center they felt NN nn rn | dead sure of It. Pittsburg, however, trot- it Pittsburg | ted out little Jesse Tannehill, the left- hander, with Richmond, Va., last season. He pitched one of his best games, and. when base hits were wanted they could not get them, The ives they made were all wasted on the sfjoke‘faden air. Tha safe hits scored ly ‘dame after two hands were out, and the man wasn’t equal to the task. Pittsburg won by 2 to 0. Mercer giso pitched a pretty game, but he was responsible himself for letting the pass gate open and the Pirates filed through it until they were checked off. The crisis occurred in the second Mer- cer was a trifle angry because Lynch seem- ed to miss a strike or two on Donnelly. The latter finally bunted toward first. Mer- cer ran forward for the tap, got it and then lined it right down the base path. “Thud” the ball went against Donnelly’s leg and shot away into the diamond, leaving the runner safe. O’Brien and- Cartwright stopped Brodie’s hit-and-ram stroke, but Donneily got to second, Then came a play, which was really a boomerang. Donnelly Fersisted in taking leads off the base. Mercer threw to the bag several times, and ence it looked as if Gene Demont had caught his man. Lynch shook his head. Finally Mercer and McGuire decided that they would give Donnelly a chance to steal and get him going down. A lot of fibbing was put on. by Mercer. Finally he Pitched the ball away off the plate. Dono- van being a left-handed batsman couldn’t balk a hit. McGuire caught and then the ball went like a shot fo Reilly, who waited for Donnelly to come up. It was one of the easiest things of the year. The play was costly for the Senators after all, for Dono- van, the batsman, had two strikes. The wide pitch was a wasted ball. Mercer, to catch up, put the next pitch right over, and Donovan pumped it to center for a safe one, getting a double on Brown's slow handling. Mercer then hit Padden with the ball. Sugden came ‘up and hit over Reilly’s head for two sacks, Donovan scor- ing. Tannehill took first on Demont's jug- gle. Padden scoring. Smith walked. Ely then flew out to Brown, but the damage Was done. Pittsburg had several chances to score pupreatter, but Mr. Opportune Hit didn’t arrive. Senators Made No More Hits. The Senators didn’t make a hit after the sixth. Mercer died easily when he had a chance to slug in a couple of runs in the fifth. With two out Abbey doubled over Padden’s head. Rellly’s bounding single en route to left was broken down by Ely. Abbey was going home, but Brown, from the coacher’s box, properly put a-strangie hold on him, forcing Charley back to-third. It all de- pended on Mercer. He fanned; the third strike being far and wide. The Senators wasted two beauties in the sixth. There were two out when De Mon- treville singled. McGuire biffed a double back of first base, De Montreville was caught between home and had trouble get- ting back to third. Donnelly said he had him out, and the crowd jeered Lynch’s de- cision. O’Brien had the chance to hit in the runs, but he fouled to Lyons. Tom Brown had it in for Lyons, after the big fellow’s play in the third. Brown had beaten out a nice bunt, and was thinking of a steal to round it off. Tannehill has some deceptive motions. He made several. Brown took a big lead, suddenly the little left hander shot the ball to Lyons, Brown couldn’t get around Lyons to reach the bag and was easily nipped. Brown got up, growled to Lyons about giving him the biock off. Then he “chawed” to Lynch about Tannehill’s alleged balk. The action put Brown in one of his surly moods, and he was out of the game thereafter. Selbach Captured the Bleachers. Selbach owns the 25 cent seats. He earn- ed the affection of the bleachers there by his superb fielding. His ‘pull down of Smith's six-day drive in the fifth was de- serving of all the applause given it. The ball looked Mke a three-bagger when it started from the bat. In the seventh Shorty was again a hero, he, while on the full run, gripping a‘eharming drive off Padden, which was going to, the fence. An exciting race for first base between Abbey and Lyons was a feature of the Senators’ half of the seventh. Abbey sent a crasher toward right. j.yons was playing way back. He got the ball and started for the bag. Both men struck th base to- gether and feil fiat, throwing themselves aside to avoid a bump: Abbey laid down and groaned. Lynch could have called the play either way. He gave the man out and secured a piece of Abbey's mind when he came around. Charley's ankle was hurt in the strike against the bag; and he had to give way to Zeke Wrigley. Mercer gave two deadhead passes in the eighth. This brought Donovan up to the bat. The ex-Washingtonian smashed a grounder right at O'Brien, but Brodie struck it going to second, giving Dono- van, under the rules, a “bum” single. “Getting gay since you left the Virginia League. Trying to bunt, eh?” yelled Reilly in a tantalizing manner, as Tannehiil came up and began to tap away at the leather. The thrust changed the batsman’s mind. He swung on the ball for a sharp bounder, which Mercer lost over his head, and it had to go as a single. The Pittsburgs had a new mascot when the game opened. It was an English setter puppy sent by express from Roanoke, Va., where the Pittsburgs trained last spring. The canine arrived ten minutes before play. Brown went into the game wearing a new glove. He was a little afraid of it, because a new glove does not take the ball well. 1 ns used to be rated a third-base killer, because of his propensity to drive savage balls right at the guardians of the third corner, and today Chariey Reilly had an experience with one of Lyons’ solid shots. The ball shot at him with greased lightning speed, but Charley grabbed it and sailed the leather across the diamond in great style. Little Tannehill was an active figure in the second inning. He assisted in retiring the three hands by wise plays. The young man acted like a veteran. He stopped at least four hits, COLLEGE BASE BALL. Georgetown’s Nine Defeats the Uni- versity of Virginia. Georgetown defeated the University of Virginia Saturday by heavy hitting. Vir- ginia has defeated all the college teams of the south, with the exception of Georgia, and leaving out this team Georgetown has now the championship of the south. Georgetown, while batting terrifically, put up rather a weak fielding game, while Vir- ginia put up a strong game in that par- ticular. A large crowd, including a num- ber of rooiers from Charlottesville, were present and made things lively during the course of the game. The score: R. H. E.

Breitenstein hasn't won a game by his good pitching. There has been a scary finish to all of them. Don’t “holl too Tuck though. He'll get there a while. There are five ex-Pittsburg players on the Senators’ pay roll at present, namely, King, Reilly, Brown, Farrell and De Mon- treville, although the latter never played in this city.—Pittsburg News. ‘The Senators have two splendid catchers and hitters in McGuire and Farrell, the former being one of the mgt’ reliable of batters with men on bases.—Exchange. “Who captains the Washington team when Tom Brown ‘is not in the game?” was the question asked a Washington man yesterday. “Guess you will have to write to the Police Gazette for information,” was the reply.—Pittsburg Gazette. Charley Farrell is still handsome enough to be a duke. His throwing wing is in bet- ter shape this season than it has been for some time.—Exchange. Just at present eastern writers have Um- pire Lynch on the rack. Four games have been protested on decisions of his. This is the basis for so many sarcastic remarks that. the man for whom the west enter- tains the highest regard must feel that he is a “has been.”—Ex. Speaking of purchasing gold bricks, there is a rumor that the proprietor of Joyce’s Japanese “Joynts” was introduced to the handshaking game at Louisville, and is now the proud possessor of as fine a brick as ever went over the bunco counter. Charley Farrell tries to work a bunco game by making bluffs at having a poor throwing arm during the preliminary prac- tice. The Duke’s arm is very much all right, as was demonstrated when he nab- bed Donovan, who tried to purloin the sec- ond bag.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. A Cincinnati man who attended one of the Cincinnati games at Chicago asked Commy how it was that with his good playing nobody had drafted Jack Glass- cock, who is on Comiskey’s pay roll. “Don’t you know,” replied Comiskey, seriously, “that a player cannot be drafted after he is thirty-five years old?” Just listen to this in the Cleveland Lead- er: “Tebeau and "Connor cursed and abused Mr. O'Day so loudly that their pro- fanity was plainly audible in the grand stand. There were not many ladies pres- ent, but those who did grace the game by thelr presence were certainly entitled to more courteous treatment by the men who are paid to amuse them.” It looked very much as if Jouette Meekin was sulking a bit in Saturday’s game. He acted as though he didn’t care whether he pitched or not, and Captain Joyce, after Meekin had sent Burke to first on balls which did not seem to have speed enough to break a pane of glass, in the first inning, gave Jouette a call-down, and when he saw no improvement in his work at the end of the third inning he took him out of the game. Charley King was honored at noon as a result of one of Gus Schmelz’s historical researches. Bill Terry’s leap from the only league into the western leaves Silver King the oldest twirler in point of service in the league. Al. Maul’s sorrowful collapse on Wednesday put the list of deans at only two. Now the St. Louis bricklayer is en- titled to sing “Only me.”—Pittsburg Ex- change. Pat Tebeau, in talking on Bug Holliday’s Praise of the Orioles, said that the whole trouble with some of the clubs is shown in Holliday’s remark. “They fear the Balti- mort continued Tebeau, “but if they were to go into the game with a determi- nation to win and not to lose, the results would be far different. But I am not sur- prised to hear such an admission from a Cincinnati player—they are always known as quitters.” Rumor has it that Freedman is having Amos Rusie closely watched, and that a heavy fine wiil be imposed on the big twirler on the least provocation. Amos is onto the trick, however, and he would not even snore in his pep for fear of being fined. Arthur Bell is compelled to keep watch on the player while on the trip. At 11 o'clock Bel! makes a tour of the players’ rooms. If admittance is refused him he secures the pass Key from the hotel and enters to learn the conditiom of the players. Any cne that stays out after 11 o'clock is -apt to be fined a season's salary. Those six years on Charley Reilly’s head since he was a Pittsburger have made him a sounder, level-headed man. He discussed his Pittsburg experiences with a friend to- day, and said: “1891 was my foolish year, and I always regret it. There was a big lesson taught me, and I have profited by it. It almost wound up my career, I saw ™my error before that season was over. I had a bad trainer. Previous to meeting him I was exactly a rounder, but he would say: ‘Come on, Bill, let’s have some fun.’ I couldn't hold back.” A man who played with Reilly in the Eau Claire, Wis., team in 1888, when Reilly was a catcher, made the good boy assertion look strong. He was personal proof of the fact that al- though the manager of the Eau Claire club ran a bar room, nothing could induce Reilly to cross the threshold.—Pitisburs Chronicle-Telegraph, Pitcher McFarland has been teleased by the Louisville Club to Rochester. Manager Schmelz is trying to buy the release of Charles Hickman, the star pitcher of the Newcastle Clu of the Inter- State League. WHIST PLAYERS PRACTICING. Preparing for the Put-in-Bay Con- gress. The practice match between the C. A. C. and the C. Bi. C. came off Saturday night. Twenty-four boards were played. The first twelve boards played were between the first teams of each club, resulting in a victory for the C. A. C. by one trick. The same boards were played by the second team, and the C. Bi. C: were victorious by eight tricks. The second team of the C. Bi. C. were then pitted against the first team of the C. A. C., arid by beautiful play suc- ceeded in defeating the C. A. C.’s first four by one trick, while the first team of the C. Bi. C. defeated the second team of the Cc, A. C. by four tricks, resulting in a vic- tory for the C. Bi. C. of twelve tricks. The play at some of the tables wes of the highest order, Britton and Quacken- bush playing particularly strong. The play of Fogg, MacComb, Williamson and Cole was equally good. Wooten and Taliaferro played brilliant whist, the latter with Davie getting five more tricks out of hand No. 3 than Childs and Hampton, who played the same cards, though their total Score was even during the evening’s play. Britton took the place of Barrick, and there was not trick lost by the substitution. Beaden and Swearengen by their plays showed the pace was too swift for them, and were twelve tricks behind Wooten and Walls, who played the same cards. These sixteen, with four additional players to be selected by the C. Bi. C.’s, will play Balti- more and Walbrook combined next Satur- Gay at the C. Bi. C.’s club room. An effort is being made by the members of both clubs to have these practice matches every week until the time to start for Put-in-Bay, as these teams are 5&0 closely matched that the practice is of mutual benefit. Pillsbury, the great chess player, who is an ardent lover of all games, was an interested spectator during the match. ROWING. The Naval Cadets’ Eight Rowed a Gooa Race With Cornell. In a race over a two-mile straightaway course on the Severn, at Annapolis, Satur- day, the second crew of Cornell University defeated the Naval Academy eight by two lergths, or seven seconds. Time, 11.15. ‘The officers of the rece were: Referee, Mr. C. 8S. Francis of Troy; judges, for Cor- nell, Prof. B. T. Wheeler; for the academy, Lieut. Commander R. T. Jasper; timekeep- ers, Cornell, Henry O. Ickelheimer; acad- emy, Richard Armstrong. The water was quite rough, especially at the mouth of the river, where the race began, and Cornell was handicapped in cor sequence. The University of Pennsylvania eight will next row the cadets. Pennsylvania won last year in 10 minutes and 55 seconds, by a lorg distance, while Cornell won this year in 11 minutes and 15 seconds, with the cadets but two lengths in the rear. From recent trials Coach Ward and Cap- tain Boyle of Pennsylvania both believe the present ’Varsity crew is stronger than last year’s crew, and will have no trouble in lowering the time made at Annapolis last year. gun in the Windy City.

Death of Mrs. Rodgers. The news of the sudden death of Mrs. Rodgers, widow of Rear Admiral Joha Rodgers, was a great shock to her numerous friends in this city, where she has so long resided and was so well known, both in social circles and for her interest and activity in different charitable works. Mrs, Rodgers sailed for Europe May 1, ac- companied by her two daughters, to spend the summer abroad, but died at sea Sun- day, the 9th of May, just before the arrival of the vessel at her destination. It is un- derstocd her remains will be brought back to Washington about the close of this month. Mrs. Rodgers was the widow of Rear Admiral John Rodgers, one of the most distinguished naval officers of the civil war, who died here, while superin- tendent of the Naval Observatory. She had been a resident of Washington for nearly fifty years, and took great interest in its social and charitable organizations, being a manager in many of the latter, and an actively interested member of the Ladies’ Club. —— Alvin Fink, three years old, was lost on the streets Saturday night, and was found by the police.
