Louisv: IN SPORTING CIRCLES (Continued from Seventh Page.) such form was some consolation for losing. —Cleveland Leader. The Milwaukee papers are complaining about the work of Tom Daly and Bert Myers, whom they characterize as “has been” bail players and “‘shirkers.’”"—Detroit Tribune. They are the best men in their respective positions in the league, and that is saying considerable. Milwaukee fans have no complaint to make.—Milwaukee Exchange. So far the Louisville people seem to be loyal to the team. The “knockers” have torborne thus far to get out their hammers and go to work. This Find of loyalty may put the team in the first diviston if the people only stick to it and are not dis- couraged by any kind of losses. Manager Cantillan of the Dubuque team of the Western Association had two ribs broken by a base runner jumping into him last Monday, while he (Cantillan) was try- ing to fleld a ball. A minute later Cantil- lan was put out of the game for kicking because the umpire refused to declare the runner out for interference. Harry Pulliam is right in not making a protest of that second Pittsburg game, on the technical ground that it was for- biddea by the rules. It was played in good faith and Louisville lost. To squeal now would be most disreputable.—Louisville Ex- change. The chances are that the game eat be thrown out.—Cincinnati Times Her- ald. Capt. Anson made a beautiful hit to cen- ter Sunday just after the crowd had been guying him and calling for Donohue., It was one of the prettiest and cleanest hits made on the Chicago grounds this year. When the old man reached first he turned and made a deep sarcastic salaam to the right field bleachers. They stopped guying him then. Nash was put in to bat for Geier at le, in the Phillies’ last game in that city. “Stand up like a man, Billy, and take it!” yelled Stallings from the coach- ing line. Billy ma~> two attempts to get hit with the ball. The third time it barely grazed his sleeve. He doubled up his arm as though it wese broken and went on at a terrible rate. Sheridan, though it was a clear steal, permitted a forced run, which settled the game. “I have read a great deal about this Na- poleon Lajole giving Delehanty a hard tus- sle for the batting honors on the Philadel- phia team,” said a member of the Cincin- nati club yesterday. “I can’t see it. I don’t want to gamble, but I'll make the prediction that two, and possibly three, of the Quakers will beat him out. I expect to see Delehanty, Cooley and Sam Thompson have the best of him in batting at the end of the season. See how near I come to calling the turn.”—Cincinnatt Enquirer. Clements, who did the catching for the Philadelphias yesterday, is the first catcher that ever wore a breast protector in a game in this city. He caught for the Key- stones of Philadelphia against the Cincin- nati Unions in, 1884. The spectators had never seen anything like it, and kidded and guyed him considerably about wearing it. Some of them thought it baby work. They did not then know that before another season rolled around every catcher in the country would be wearing one.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Tommie Dowd is out for gore this week, and the Brooklyn and Boston teams wili be made to suffer. Dowd is getting tired at-the home team’s continual losing, and says that without any outside interference he will do much better work. Dowd is a great ball player, a gentleman, every inch of him, and, what is more, a clever general on the field. He has used poor judgment at times this season, however, one of his blunders, and one which has oft been re- Peated, being a tardiness in replacing one pitcher by another. Dowd hopes to get the team in good running order this week, and from now on victories are promised.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “Uncle Nick” Young has received favor- able replies from all of the league mag- nates on the proposition to amend the rules to allow the playing of double games when- ever it is convenient to the clubs interested. He has not heard from Mr. Brush of Cin- cipnati, as the latter has been quite sick for some time past, and the matter has not received his consideration. It is under- stood Mr. Brush will interpose no objec- tion, and the double games already. played will stand. Last year Arthur Irwin could have se- cured McCreary, Louisville’s heavy-hitting outfielder, for $500, and wired Freedman to that effect. The latter replied that he did not want him, and added that Louisville was going to release him (McCreary) any- how. It is also said that Joyce is being interfered with this season. If that is the case it won’t be hard to anticipate New York's finish. The New York team has just finished its series with the Colonels, and this is the Louisville Post's comment upon Joyce's band: “Oliver Patsey Tebeau and his In- dians are like messengers from heaven or the advance agents of peace when com- pared with Joyce and the Giants. Mr. Joyce does nov always talk, for ‘tis said his vocabulary is limited, but what he lacks in words is made up in glances at the umpire. Joyce's language is not so choice, but it has force, and, backed up by the other members of the team, the abuse heaped upon the umpire by these men is sufficient to bring a response from a wood- en structure.” Jimmie Rodgers, captain and second base- man of the Louisvilles, thinks well of his team, but their success has not let him into thinking that the Colonels are going to get the pennant this season at least. “Yes, we have been playing fine bail,” said Captain Rodgers, ‘‘and we will play good ball right along. When we first started to do good things everybody said they would be satisfied if we got out of last place. Now they think we are going to win the pen- nant. Maybe we will; I hope so at least, but the jump from tail-enders to leaders in the race is a big jump. I'm afraid we can't do it. If we finish up in the first division we will have accomplished a great deal. We will get the pennant if we can, but I'm not betting any money that we will.” FIRST OF CYCLE RACING. Arrangements for the Saturday Meet at Athletic Park. The postponement of the opening race at International Athletic Park last Saturdey has necessitated a change in the arrange- tents for the race meet this coming Sat- urday, which will be the virtual opening of the park for the season. The races which were scheduled for last week have been combined with the events of the com- ing week, and a new entry blank has been issued. As a result the entrics will remain open much later than usual. The pro- posed match race between Fred Sims, the local professional, and John Lawson, the terrible Swede, has been postponed indefi- nitely, owing to the fact that Lawson is at present in Chicago participating in the intercity six-day, twelve-hour race, be- tween New York and Chicago, representing the former city. The events Saturday, with ihe prizes, are as_ follows: First race, one mile, novice; prize, gold medal, value $15. Second race, one mile, opea, professional; prizes, first, $20; second, $15; third, $10. Third race, two-mile handicap, amateur; prizes, first, $20 gold ring; second, $15 dia- mond scarfpin; third, $10 pair of cuff links, with diamond settings. Fourth race, two-thirds mile, open, pro- fessional; prizes, first, $15; second, $10; third, $5. Fifth race, one-mile, open, amateur; prizes, first, $25 gold-filled watch; second, $20 silver watch, with gold trimmings; third, $10 pair pearl opera glas3es, with gold trimmings. ‘The officials at the meet, will be as foliows: Official referee, E. E. Simpson; starter, W. H. Henshaw; judges, W. T. Robertson, John Woerner, jr., and J. Hart Brittain; umpires, Geo. A. Mansfield, 3r., Frank C. Potts, C. T. Van Hook and Paul von Boeckman; timers, W. Roy Mitchell, 8. W. Stinemets and R. M. Dobbins; clerk of course, Fred Moore; announcer, W. H. Hershaw; scorer, W. J. Espey and W. K. Larrimore; handicapper, Willlam T.

Three High School records were broken. Charlie Young lowered the time for the 100 yards run by a fifth of a second, the best previous time being made by Jolly, who took 10 4-5 seconds to cover the distance: Farrow elinched his hold on the High School broad jump record by cov- ering one foot and four inches more, mak- ing his record twenty feet one inch. Stuart, who established the High School record for the mile run in the spring games last year, cut his time down by three seconds, the time now standing 5.16. Every race was well contested except the two-mile bicycle race. There were at least a dozer entries and only one heat. The handicap men hung back and bunched, with the exception of Riggles, who gra ually Grew away from the bunch, and as the handicap men would not open up, the men on the scratch could not get through; consequently, it was a tame affair.

Standard Commandery of the Golden Cross at its last meeting at National Cap- ital Bank Hall attracted a very large at- tendance, and the proceedings throughout were characterized with that progressive- ness and promptness that have made this organization prosperous and strong, though PATRIOTS AT MT. VERNON. Sons of the American Revol Visit Washington’s Tomb. The May meeting of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, as is usual, took the form of an outing, and ac- cordingly Tuesday afternoon the members of the society visited Mount Vernon. On reaching the wharf the society, preceded by its beautiful flag, marched in regular order to the tomb of Washington and there with uncovered heads the members and their guests listened to a prayer by the Rev. Dr. T. 8. Childs, after which patriotic addresses were made by Gen. J. C. Breck- inridge and Rev. Dr. DeFrees. An hour or more was then spent in visit- ing the historic mansion, after which the steamer was again boarded and the mem- TS were carried to Marshall Hall, where they partook of a planked shad dinner. After coffee was served Dr. J. W. Bayne, acting president of the society, called for order, and introduced Mr. Henry M. Baker of New Hampshire, who spoke interesting- ly of the heroic deeds of the patriots of his state during the war of the revolution. Mr. Gaillard Hunt of the State Depart- ment, and also a representative of the So- ciety of the Sons of the Revolution, spoke earnestly in favor of the union of the two societies. Mr. H. Clay Evans, recently appointed commissioner of pensions, was the next speaker, and his remarks were directed te the great work of patriotism carried on by such organizations as the society >f which he was the honored guest. Gen. Breckinridge followed, and he was succeeded by Prof. J. C. Gordon. . The attention of the society was then di- rected to the fact that among the gentle- men present was Gen.
