IN SPORTING CIRCLES| -_———+ Reports of Deals Regarding National League Clubs. -—-_+—-— DRISCOLL SOUTHERN TENNIS CHAMPION | Baltimore Whist whelmingly Beaten. Players Over- | nd SENATORS WIN AGAIN eee ee There sre rumors in St. Louls, which, | Should they materialize into facts, would prove a great benefit to the National League. It is reported that Messrs. Robi- son, Wagner and Von der Ahe held a con- ference in the mound city yesterday, the object being the transferring of the Cleve- land club to St. Louis, with President Robi- son still owner of the club. Since the defeat of Sunday bal! playing in Cleveland Mr. Robison has had several offers for the Cleveland club and franchise. Messrs Dick- son and Talbott of Indianapolis were the first to make an offer, their object being the transfer of the Clevelands to Buffalo and not to Indianapolis, as it was first thought. Mr. Franklin, the owner of the Buffalo Eastern League club, is quoted as being in the deal. The playing of Sunday games in Buffalo, which has bec>me legal under a ruling of the supreme court of the state of New York, makes that city one of the best in the country for the national game. Mr. Robison is loth to get out of base ball on account of the prominence it gives him, and for this reason the St. Louis deal looks more probable. With a team of the caliber of the Cleveland club located in St. Louis the game would be given a tre- mendous boom and prove a great financial success from the start. The deal would no doubt take Mr. Von der Ahe out of the league. That Mr. Earl Wagner has been taken into the conference over the transfer means one of three things—he is looking out for a financial interest in the St. Louis club; act- ing 4s a sort of arbitrator, or wants to be im on the ground floor should any of the players of the two teams be placed on the tmarket. Mr. Wagner has given it out fre- quently that he is always on the lookout for players to strengthen the Senatorial aggregation, and although there are only ene or two players on the St. Louis team that would help the Washington club al- most any one from the Cleveland aggrega- tion would prove acceptable.

Cineinaatl, ‘The Senators took their batting eyes with them to St. Louts yesterday, and as a re- | sult won from Tommy Dowd’s club by the score of 13 to 7, and incidentally climbed into tenth place, thereby shoving Chicago into the eleventh hole. O'Brien was out of the game yesterday, Wrigley going to second and Abbey back into right, and the change appears to have been a good one from this distance. Wrig- ley secured two singles and a double, while Abbey batted out a single, a double and a home run, and both played their positions without an error. McJames was sent to the slab for the Senators to do the twirling, but after trying for five innings to locate the home piate, was given a rest on the bench by Manager Schmelz and “Silver” King took up the work where the physician left off. Tne blonde-haired pitcher was in his best form, and the St. Louis boys couid do very little with his delivery. Pitcher Hart went on the slab for the St. Louis club and held his pcsition through out the game, with the result that he was Lammered for nineteen hits, with a total of twenty-five bases, making the contest an easy one for the visiting club. Tom Brown and Jim McGuire were the error makers yesterday, both players getting two aplece, McGuire's being wild throws and Brown's fly balls. ‘The feature of the game was a catch by Selbach In left fleld that saved four runs. Three men were on bases when Tommy Dowd cut loose at an out-curve, and away the ball sailed toward the left-field fence with Selbach in hot pursuit. Coming to the embankment that leads up to the fence, little Selbach dashed up the hill, and turn. ing just in the nick of time, captured the ball and made what was conceded to be the greatest catch ever made on the St, Louiy grounds. Outside of the pitchers, every Senator secured a hit or more. ST. LOUIS. WASHINGTO: R.H.O.A.E. R.H.O.A.E.

A great many people had an idea that little Wrigley can't ®it. Watch the boy when he goes to the plate. He steps out after the ball like a slugger, and if played regularly would prove to be one. It is wonderful how Charley Abbey can hit after being laid off a couple of games, and also how quickly he gets back into the weak hitting rut when played regularly. Jack Doyle and ‘Cajeher Robinson won't be able to play with the Baltimores for more than a morth.; Perhaps these two players won't be miased. Bowerman has jcined the birds at Pitsburg and will help out behind the bat, while O’Brien will try and fill Doyle's place at first. When the eastern elibs went up into the the mountains, figuratfve speaking, for St. is, Louisville and Chicago, they cut quite a figure in‘ thet playing sense, but when they came~down into the valley, Cleveland, Pittsburg and Cincinnati, their speedy running was stopped with a dull thud. | The Senet ore have pe ae e valley and maf perhaps enjoy the pick- ing of cherries in the mountains the same us the other clubs. Two out of three at Chicago was not-so-bad, and St. Louis may come our way,{;but the Louisville games should prove Very interesting and may prove to be. persimmons instead of “Loulsvilie has offered MeCreery and $1,000 le has offered and $1, for Tommy Dowd, and if Von der Ahe sees the color of the money the deal can be con- sidered made.

McPhee is more seriously injured than Was ai first expected. The great second baseman has a badly sprained ankle, which may take wecks to heal. He spent a slecpicss night Saturday, and the member was not much impréved lest night. Dr. Boyer said yesterday that at the least Mc- ; Phee would be laid uy a week.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Perhaps Bully Shindle isn't playing a won- derful game at third. To him more than to any one else do the Breoklyns owe Sun- day’s victory. He knocked down base hit after base hit. He plays the base deeper than any other third baseman in the coun- try. He 1s a wenderful thrower, and his one-handed stop of Corcoran’s slashing drive that looked like a two-bagger was a great bit of fielding.—Cincinnat! Enquirer. Beckley arrived from Pittsburg yesterday and was at the Polo ground awhile. He iold me that there had not been the slightest unfriendly feeling beteween him and the president of the New York club. Mr. Freedman came to him in Cleveland and asked whether he would object very much to being released. “Jake” replied that while he would not pretend to be pleased to leave ihe New York team, he considered it a vure matter of business, that if he was not giving satisfaction he didn’t want to “hang on.” The New York president told him to make himself at home at the Polo ground while he was in New York. “Jake” was practicing yesterday and will take his dally exercise here. He has sev- eral offers, but will decide on nothing till next week.—-New York Herald. AN OVERWHELMING DEFEAT. Local Whist Players Outplayed the Baltimore Representatives, ‘The return whist match between Balti- mere and Washington took place Saturday night and the result was a Wa‘erloo for tne Haltimores. There were five teams arrayed against each other of four players a side, playirg five matches, and the score shows the number of matches won by each side— ene-Falf counting a tie. The Baltimores put in an carly appear- ance and were ready at 8 o'clock. The Walbrook contingent, who were all mem- bers of the Baltimore club, had their strong players present, and the result was a great victory for Washington. To defeat such a strong aggregation of whist players 2 tricks, winning: eighteen matches out of twenty-five, showed a remarkably strong whist game. : ‘The Baltimores have defeated the Wil- mingtons twice by 2 large n:argin; also defeated the C. Bi. C. in their last match :by 10 tricks, and only lost to the Hamiltons ot Philadelphia by 6 tricks—placing the Washington clubs on a plane with any in the league, and with a proper amount of team practice both clubs will give a good account of themselves at Put-in-Bay. The Walbrook four—Beverly Smith, Wil- Lur Smith, Dr. Smith and Sellman—wiil go to Put-in-Bay. Beverly Smith is second to no player in the country. He is a member of the Baltimore four, nd, with Harvey McCay, won the Minneapolis pair trophies (diamond sleeve bittons) last year. The ialtimore team has been partially se- lected, but is still in doubt, on account of Dr. Walls, who will play on the C. A. C. team, as Washington {3 his nome. The Play of the Washingtons in the last match was very strong. a Fogg, Williamson, Cole d Britton again carried off the honors. The first team of the C. Bi. C. tied with the second team of the CG. A. for second place. The highest pair score North and South was made by Beden and Swearingen, who had 19 tricks to their credit, 144 be- ing the next highest ou the Washington side. An early match ts looked for, when Bal- timore fs anxious to regain its prestige, having many victories to be proud of. The next event of note is the return match, women vs. men, Thursday night, at Raltimowe, and the tollowing Saturday night the mixed pair contest, in which Mrs McCrae and Mr. Bristol, Mrs. Leech and Mr. Wooten, Mrs. Earle and Mr. Pearsall and several Washington pairs will take part. Mrs. Hawley sails for Europe next Sat- rday. Miss Watts, who has been at the Colonial al! the winter, has returred to Boston. She is a very strong whist player and has had considerable practice witl- the Cupitol Club. Whist Editor Milton C. Work also sails for Europe next week. DRISCOLL WINS. End of the Contest for Tennis Cham- Pionship in Singles. The tennis championship of the south, in singles, was won yesterday by Thomas A. Driscoll of San Francisco, from Mr. J. Parmly Paret of New York. The contest was held on the courts of the Bachelor Club, and was practically the civsing event in the tournament which has been in pro- gress under the auspices of the Southern Lawn Tennis Associaticn. There was a gCod attendance, and the various points made by the two expert players was re- warded with liberal applause. Both men played well, and a number of really brilliant strokes were made. ‘The first set went to Mr. Peret by the score of G—1, and the next three eets fell to Mr. Driscoll by the following scores: 6-4, 6—3, 6—4. The result of the last set, which gave the championship to Mr. Driscoll, was greeted with cheers by the friends of the successful player, but as the rain came up just about this time, the crowd was obliged to hastily disperse. Mr. Driscoll now holds the challenge cup, which is valued at $100, and will be called upon to defend it at the tournament whicn will be held next year. The semt-finals and finals in the consola- tion match: will be played this afternoon. Mr. Paret, Mr. J. C. Davidson and Mr. Driscoll have entered the tournament for the championship of New England, which is to be held at New Haven, Conn., this week. In addition to entering the singles, it 1s probable that Messrs. Paret and Da- vidson will play in the doubles. Rowing. Only four days more remain before the Yale University-Wisconsin race. Now that it 1s settled that freshmen will not com- pete the question of interest is tae make- up of the crews. Captain Balley of the Yale crew said that he expected to make no changes in his boat this week, and they will probably row as follows: Langford, stroke; Griswold, Allen, Bailey (captain), Mills, Campbell, Whitney and Rogers. The Wisconsin crew are rowing morning and afternoon. They will practice daily ull Friday. The race will be rowed late Saturday evening. The announcement that the big boat race on June 25 would be rowed up stream has caused great indignation among the people of Poughkeepsie and has hampered the collection of the subscriptions. ‘The local committee will send a subcommittee to wait on Mr. Van Dusen in New York on Wednesday and ask him to reverse his de- cision. At a conference of the Yale and Universi- ty of Wisconsin navy managers it was de- cided to invite Robert Lehmann, the Har- vard coach, to referee the contest next Saturday.

Theft of Evening Star Bureau, N ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 25, 1897. Confederate Memor‘al day of 1407 has come and gone, and the ceremonies inc‘dent to it were a great success, marred only by the heavy thunder storm which came up late in the afternoon. The organizations mentioned in yester- day’s Star, with the exception of the Hy- draulion fire company, turned out in larze numbers, respectively. The Hydraulion company did not participate owing to the fact that enough members could not be gotten together to make a creditable show- ing, numerically The Alexandria Light Infantry appeared strong, under command of Capt. Albert Bryan, and nevcr made a finer appearan7e. The Columbia steam fire engine company, headed by the 3d Regiment Field Band, 24 strong, in their handsome new untforms, presented a fine appearance, as did al the other organizations taking part. Col. W. A. Smoot acted as chief marshal, and had for his aids Major R. W. Hunter, L. M. Blackford, Dr. W. M. Smith, E. C. Graham, Wm. A. F. Beckham, Db. A. Makeley and George Ubler. The ceremonies at the monument, under the auspices of a committee of R. E. Lec Camp, were most impressive. The exer- cises at Christ Church, which consisted of decorating the confederate mound there, were concluded just b€fore the vy rain storm set in. At the conclusion the Alex- andria Light Infantry fired a salute, and after “taps” had been sounded the service was brought to a close. Serenaded The The bands of music, the Friendship Corps and the 3d Regiment Field Band, in the parade yesterday stopped at The Evening Star’s Alexandria bureau to give it a ser- enade. Stole Three Satchels. While the memorial exercises were going on yesterday afternoon a great deal of excitement was caused at the depot of the” Southern Railroad Company. Mr. D. A. Batts, a representative of a medical com- pary of Wilson, N. C., had his three satch- els stolen by two well-dressed young men. It appears that Mr. Batts intended going to Culpeper yesterday afterncon and pro- cured a ticket. He had three satchels with nim at the depot, which he placed on a seat, at the same time noticing two well- dressed young men sitting in the waiting room. Mr. Batts left his satchels in the rocm and went across the street to pur- chase a cigar, and when he returned his satchels were gone, as were the young men. Mr. Batts notified Officer Williains, who in a short while learned that the men had left the city on the electric cars for Weshington, carrying the satchels with them. The Washington authorities were notified and the men arrested.

The police have been under the impres- sion for quite a while that Dan Corbin, a well-known negro, who conducts an eating house at the foot of King street, was run- ning a speak-easy, but were unable to se- cure any evidence against him. Dan would openly defy the officers to catch him, say- ing he was too smart to be trapped. Offi- cer Ferguson took the case in hand at last and soon succeeded in making a case. Dan was fined $69 this morning in police court, in default of which he went down for six months. From the evidence given before the mayor, Dan had his beer put up in pop bottles. His method of doing business was to sell his customer tickets, each one of which entitled the holder to a bottle of Fire Protection at West End.
