PHILADELPHIA'S BASE BALL DEAL Results of the Intercollegiate Ath- letic Contests. SUNDAY BALL PROJECTED Record of W. L. Pc. 2 the Clubs. Bases on balls undoubtedly lost game to the Senators yesterday at Cin- cinnati, King and German permitting bat- ters to walk to first, and then the follow- ing players would slug the ball for kecps, driving the free passages to first over the the home plate. Breitenstein was as bad off in his work as King, but “Billy” Rhines was substituted for the great left-hander in the sixth inning, and pitched good ball for the Reds from then to the finish, not allowing another run to cross the plate. The Senators started off very wel!, scor- ing two runs in the first inning on a ter- rific drive to the right field bleachers for a home run by McGuire, who carried De Montreville in ahead of him, the Jatter having gone to first on balls. Another run was tallied in the second, through Reilly's pretty single to center, another in the same place by Cartwright, the players working the hit-and-run game, Reilly go- ing to third, and then home on an error of Beckley’s. In the fifth inning the Senators went to work again on the “$10,000 beauty,” and actually drove him from the rubber. De Montreville went to first on Irwin's error; McGuire went out on a fly to center, and then De Montreville made two out, trying to steal second. Here is where the fun began. O’Brien hit to right for two bases and Wrigley brought him in with a single to left. Reilly then hit a scorching single to center, and the ball flew past Hoy, allowing Wrigley to score, and Reilly to reach third. Cartwright then ham- mered out another single and Reilly came in. In the sixth inning the last run was scored for the Senators. Brown sin- gled to left, reached second on Abbey's sin- gle to center, moved up on De Mont's sac- rifice and came home on McGuire's fly out to center. Seven thousand people witnessed the game and enjoyed the hard hitting of both teams. ‘WASHINGTON. | CINCINNATI.

Dahlen was badly spiked in the third inning and had to retire from the game, and Kelley and Jennings had to retire from the game on account of not agreeing with the decisions of Umpire Hurst.

The trade contemplated at Louisville, be- tween the Washington and Louisville offi- cials, is off. The Colonels would not part with Fred Clarke for DeMontreville, and Mr. Wagner ts fully aware that he has @ diamond of the fifst water to sell, and will not let the little shortstop go unless he gets a man equally as good in another posi- ticn. The trade, if any is made, will have to come from the’eastern clubs, as all the western clubs are pretty well fortified with shortstops. Philadelphia Gets Dowd. Saturcay afternoon a trade was com- pleted between the Philadelphia and St. Louis clubs, whereby Tommy Dowd is given for Hallman, Grady and Harley. The Phila- delphia papers speak rather dubiously of the deal, and well they might. Tommy Dowd cannot play second base, and in comparison with Billy Hallman in that position is not one-two-seven.; From the St. Louis side the trade is all wool and a yard wide. Grady can play first and push the team along through his aggressiveness, while Hallman Will fill the bill at second and strengthen the team at the bat. Little Harley will take Dowd’s place in the field, ard in time should prove to be Tommy's equal. The trade was really between Dowd and Hallman, as Grady and Harley had been farmed out to the Athletics, and were of no use to the Phillies. What is Said in Philadelphia. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. There is hardly room for two opinions as to the wisdom of the deal by which the Phillies secure Tommy Dowd. The fact that Stallings gave three men in exchangs does not enter into the argument. Grady and Harley were superfluous. There was no way in which they could be used on the team. The only point open for discussion is: Will Dowd be a more valuable man at second than Hallman? We think he will. Hallman can play far better ball than he bas played in this city during the past five years, and probably when he joins the Browns there will be those who will regret his departure. But in considering the rela- tive value of the two men we must be guided by what Hallman really did, not what he might have done. Dowd is what is known as an aggressive player—and if there is anything we can stand lots of it is aggressiveness—a fast man on bases, a good fielder and a fair batsman. Quick to see a point of play, and with the requisite nerve to carry it out, he should material strengthen the Phillies where they most need strengthening—in the infield. Base Ball Gossip. Jimmy Connor, Chicago's second base- man, was hurt Saturday and Dahlen was knocked out yesterday, making a big hole in the Colts’ infield. Freedman has defied the league by trans- ferring games. That's nothing, though, the league has been defied season in and season out. Backbone is needed. While Tommy Corcoran’s fielding has been a little off since he joined the Cincin- natis, it cannot be denied that he has been hitting the ball good and hard. Tommy had three hits Saturday and scored one of the Reds’ two runs. Earl Wagner was hot after “Eagle Eye” to play with the Washingtons, but instead he will play against them today and to- morrow. He made a great impression with the crowd yesterday, and was voted the right man in the right place.—Cincinnati Exchange. “Oh, Mr. Frank Killen, you're a daisy, you're a ‘beaut,’ ; With your curves that speed like lighthing and your little drop and shoot; be deserving of its continuance.

Everybody had it in for Mercer. He was guyed through most of the game by the bleachers. Win is too good looking, and wears his halr too long for any one to re- sist the temptation to guy him.—Louisville 8 | The “old gag” was worked again in the second inning, This time it was O’Brien. After McGuire had hit safely O'Brien forced him at second. He was the second man to reach first, and Rogers and Wer- den quietly nabbed “him. Everybody laughed, and Johnny walked back to the bench, wondering where the ball came from. Unlike Herman Long, the victim of the day before, he was not fortunate enough to have a watcher on the line to lay the blame to.—Louisville Post. “Mugesy" McGraw has the reputation of being a_ veritable ad man from way back.” On account of the pugnacious front he puts up on the slightest provoca- tion, it is popularly believed that he would fight James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons or anybody else that crossed his path. This is the grand stand estimate of the lit- tle third baseman of the Baltimores. The Players have an entirely different idea about ‘“Muggsy's” desire for getting into fights with his fellow players. They are of the opinion..that “Muggsy” is consider- able of a bluff. “You will notice that Mc- Graw always picks out some great big fel- low when he is looking for a quarrel,” said one of the players the other day. “If he is in a scrap on the field it is always with some fellow that towers above him head and shoulders. Players the size of Anson, Lange, Harry Vaughn, Con Dailey and Perry Werden are the kind that “Muggsy” looks up when he is in scrapping humor. There is a method in this scrappiness. He knows that none of these big fellows would take a chance of hurting him. He is so lit- tle that he feels pretty nearly certain he is safe in unloading his venom at their ex- pense. Why, he once told big Con Dailey that he wished he had him in a room with the door locked and the key thrown out of the window. You know what Dailey did— only laughed at him. Why, Dailey has whipped two or three prize fighters. You never hear of McGraw going up against players the size of Eddie Burke, Little Dex- ter or Kid Gleason. Not on your life. He knows better. They are about his size, and they could afford to get back at him. He knows it, and that is the reason he never tries to scrap when they are around.” “Old Eagle Eye,” as Beckley is affec- tionately called by his admirers, is happy over the prospects of playing with the Cin- cinnatis. “Anything to get away from New York and its slavs-driving president, was my motto,” said Jake. ‘There was no chance for me to play ball with such sur- roundings as I had there. Think of a man being fined $100 and suspended because he went to a train to mect his wife. That is what they did with me. The money didn't Go, but it was assessed against me, and shows how they drive you with that club. Freedman made it so unpl2asant for me that I didn’t_ know which way to turn. He had me all Shixed up.’ ” “How aboutiJoyne?” “Oh, I don’t blame Joyce. He has a thousand gray hairs in ‘his nead, and he got cvery_one of them since he took charge of the New Yorks. He did some funny things, buff never thought anything about {t, for Freedman has nagged at him until he 1s pretty’nearly ‘nutty.’ I had. chances to go to éither the Washingtons or the St. Louis Browns, but I have long desired to play with the.Cincinnatis. I feel sure that 1 will play as-good ball here'as J ever did inomy career: a) “What was your trouble at Pittsburg?” “I don't care to say anything. about it. That matter is dead gn@ past.

COLLEGE RO Yale's first race in two years in America was rowed Saturday on Lake Salstonstall, and the University of Wisconsin eight was beaten by three lengths. From start to finish the visiting crew gave Yale a good battle. Both eights rowed evenly, Yale spurting ahead as soon as Referee Rich- ards’ pistol was fired, and never being overtaken, although the Yale stroke was lowered during the last half mile, and the Wisconsin crew decreased the distance be- tween the two boats by half a length. It is estimated that 5,000 people saw the race. The time of the first boat was 19 minutes 54 seconds, and the distance two miles. About twenty minutes later a race of the same distance was rowed at Annapolis, Md., between the eights of the Naval Acad- emy and University of Pennsylvania. The cadets’ crew crossed the line seven lengths ahead of the Quakers in 13 minutes and 47 seconds. The visitors came in 28 seconds later, in 14 minutes and 15 seconds. The water was rough. The crews took the water at about the same time, pulling a long, steady stroke, but had been traversed ‘‘Pennsy’ young men found the water ioo rough for their liking, and several goud, old-fashioned “crabs” were caught by the collegians. The cadets, on the contrary, never missed a_ stroke, and soon had the nose of their craft in ad- vance. SUNDAY BALL NEAR HERE. A Local Team of Ex-Professionals to Play at Riverside Park. There will be Sunday base ball games near Washington during the coming sum- mer. Harry Mace, the ex-professional ball player and present umpire, has gathered a team of ex-professionals, who will meet league and other teams at Riverside Park, three miles below Alexandria. Included in the local team will be Paul Hines, Tom Kinslow, Hoffman, formerly pitcher on che Hartfords; Davis, formerly of the Minne- apolis; Mace, Jack Brown, George Eibel and Purner, formerly pitcher on the Nur- folks. The grounds are being put in condi- tion. A grand stand, capable of seating a thousand persons, and bleachers have been built. The electric cars run to the grounds, and it is claimed that the trip can be made from 131g street and Pennsylvania avenue in twenty minutes. ‘The grounds will be opened June 6 with the Cleveland club. The ex-Cuban Giants, the leading colored club of the country, will play the following Suaday. Other clubs that have been booked are the Pitts- burgs, Cincinnatis and the Richmonds. COLLEGE BASE BALL. G jaudet and Maryland Agricultural Played to a Tie. Gallaudet College and the Maryland Agri- cultural College played nine innings to a tie at Kendall Green Saturday. Honors were about equally divided in the field and at the bat, although Gallaudet made less errors than her opponents. Score: 10 to 10. 10. Rockville defeated the Shamrock Ath- letic Club of this city Saturday at the fair grounds in Rockville by a score of 11 to 3. The Shamrocks could not bat Nicholson. Princeton took a slump Saturday in field- ing, and as a result lost to Harvard by a score of 7 to 4. Eight errors were made by the Tigers. In conjunction with these misplays Harvard batted opportunely, while Paine pitched a masterly game. Rand's one-hand catch was the feature of the game. Wilson pitched good bal] and had he been given fair support.the score might have read differently. An interesting and well-played game took place Saturday between Pennsylvania and Cornell, the former winning by a score of 8 to 3. Cornell played loosely in the field on could not bat Dickson with much effect. . Holy Cross was outbatted and outfielded by Werleyan Saturday, the latter winning by @ score of 5 to 3.

AMONG WHIST PLAYERS, Gossip of Interest From the Local Clubs. The recent meeting of the whist commit- tee of the C. A. C. has put into shape the plan for selecting eligibles for Put-in-Bay, and those anxious to be delegates are re- porting for practice regularly, and already have had some very good practice. The regular Wednesday night compass. whist match took place, and Wooten and Swear- engen made top score through a daring finesse of Walls, who lost four tricks, which would have put Gallinger top score, as he played a brilliant game, never let ting a trick get away during the evening. The score was very close N. and 8.: strong whist, and the tween the C. more material than the C. A. C.'s, but lack meray ee of the team being divided in le of play. The Cranfords ed this season wiil take place at the Balti- more Club, as it is also the winding up game for a handsome bicycle, a prize for the one having the highest score. Kent McCoy with Beverly Smith and Dr. Gai- ther closely foliowing, are the three prin- cipal contestants, Beverly Smith and Leander Bouvee have becn pounding away at the time to force your partner and when to finesse. This Practical {ilustration is given of the for- mer. The writer’s partner, by the way a collegiate graduate, a bright, intelligent gentleman, turned the 9 of clubs for trump, holding K. J. 9 7 and 3 of clubs, K. Q. 5 and 3 of spades, ace of diamonds and the ace, K. and 10 of hearts. The leader on his left opened with the 6 of hearts, the writer voluntarily discarded the 9 of diamonds, the third hand played the 8 of hearts. The writer's partner fourth in hand took the trick with K. of hearts, led back the ‘ace of hearts, upon which the writer played the 7 of d:amonds, both of the opponents playing spvts in hearts. The third round the partner led the 10 of hearts. At the termination of the hand he gave as his reasons for forcing that he had great trump strength and had been read- ing books and thought he knew just when to force his partrer and was giving a prac- tical Mlustration of his knowledge. The writer sat helpless with A. Q. and 6 of clubs, trumps, A. J. 9 6 and 5 of spades, K. J. 9 and 7 of diamonds. We could have taken the 13 tricks. As it was my ace of spades was trumped by my ieft-hand ad- versary and we lost three tricks. Ycu can con whcle libraries, but it is the attrition of society that gives the pol- ish to the conversational powers, and you may read whist until you are familiar with every feature of the game, but until you add close attention, calculation, in- ference, vou will always be a novice. It Is the student who appreciates the plays as they come up and thinks diligently of the variations tbat will derive benefit from practice. The return finesse, the finesse by trial, the firesse on the partner, the finesse by speculation and the finesse obligatory are all variations of Deschapelles’ invention, and the play is only for the highest order of players. It belongs to the second and fourth hand as well as the third. A deal in whist sets out in ignorance and ob- security, guided by instinct and chance. Supported by invention and talent, it finishes In experience guided by positive evidence and supported by mathematical deduction. An ignorant partner will dis- eencert schemes which he does not know hew to plan cr how to seccnd. A discard by a fourth hand of adversary’s suit often ebcourages a successful finesse by third hend and leaves secend hand, your part- ner, at the mercy of the adversaries. A judicious play of the king of diamonds fourth in hand on the ace led invited a trump lead and gained Baker of Brooklyn, the whist editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, the credit of playing the most brilliant hand at the woman’s whist congress at Phila- delphia. Baker played E. and Walls, his partner, W. The ten hearts was turned by } Trumps, H10. Enst leads.

The game played Saturday between the Senators and Colonels at Loutsville was wen by the former by the score of 5 to 2. Jimmy McJames pitched one of his old-time games, allowing the Louisvilles but four hits, and having splendid control of the ball. The fielding back of McJames was almost perfect, but one error, a misplay by Abbey in left, being charged against the team. Hemming was on the rubber for the Colonels and also did good work, but six hits being scored off of his delivery, but his support was ragged, Dolan, at short, alcne getting three errors charged against him. A sensational catch in right ficld by Wrigley was a feature of the contest, and contributed materially toward the winning of the game. Other results follow: Baltimore, 8; Clev: land, 2.

News of a conspiracy against King George of Greece, far more deeply rooted than was supposed, comes from a Russian source, a Berlin dispatch reports. There is indubitable evidence that Pre- mier Ralli and his colleagues in the cab- inet are implicated in the plot to overthrow the dynasty. The sultan has ordered the official cen- sors to suppress any sympathetic references to, or anxiety concerning, the Greek royal family, a Constantinople correspondent tel- egraphs, or to mention any improvement in Greek finances. The police in the Gala- ta section of the city have been ordered to arrest ali persons dealing in Greek secur- ities. Greece will be compelled to pay a large indemnity, says the Koinische Zeitung, to reduce her army to 20,000 men and to give up her fleet. An Athens dispatch, cengored, of course, says: “Report of alarming anti-dynastic trou- bles published abroad cause surprise here, as there is no sign of any such movement, nor is any prominent politician likely to commit himself to an anti-dynastic pro- gram. “It appears that the Prince of Wales has expressed his personal desire that Crown Prince Constantine shall come to London for the jubilee festivities, and this is re- garded as indicative of English good will toward Greece. “Turkey's continued and the re- ported Russian preparations, with other rumors of a bellicose character, raise the hopes of some of the Greek newspapers that Greece may yet benefit from a general European war. But the majority of the nation, sobered by a sad experience, only desires that Europe should protect Greece conqueror. “There is no reason to fear that either Bulgaria or Servia will abandon the policy followed thus far.

HEN you go fora club _ A suggestion has been advanced in Eng- land that J. K. Starley, the inventor of the safety bicycle, should be knighted, It is said that knightly honors will be scattered with a bounteous hand at jubilee time and that some of these should be awarded to men in the cycle trade. The cycle, it is claimed, has done more for the working- man and the middle classes than any other invention of the Victorian era, and has be- come a valuable auxiliary to military forces. The National Cyclists’ Union of England maintains strict discipline in races held under its jurisdiction. In a recent race Spencer and Maclaren, the crack tandem team, rode carelessly at the finish of a six- hour race and were suspended for thirty days. Bicyclists in Berlin are compelled to carry a number about as large as a locomotive headlight and illumination at night, so that when a scorcher misuses his wheel to run down a pedestrian the injured party or some bystander can take notice of the number and the offender can be spotted afterward, if he does not see fit to stay. As the numbers are officially registered, it is difkcult to avoid detection, “For ways that are peculiar, I suppose that the hotel proprietors take a lot of beating,” writes an American from Paris. “It has been always understood that they regard ft as a valuable privilege to be patronized by the Touring Club. By agree- ing to a reduction of 10 per cent to mem- bers of the club they had the advantage of having their hotels advertised in the books issued by the T. C. F., while it certainly seemed to be good business on their paft to secure the custom of the cycling fra- ternity, even at lower prices than those paid by the ordinary clients. The members of the club have always been under the impression that they received preferential treatment from the hotel keepers, but all of thiy seems to have been a bluff on the pert of the hotel men. A little while ago cyclist put up at a hotel, and on receiving the bill claimed 10 per cent off as a Tout- ing Club member. The hotel keeper refused to accede to this request. ‘You see,’ he ex- plained, ‘we add 10 per cent to our ordinary tariff for the benefit of the Touring Club, and then make a discount of a similar amount to members, so that they pay ex- actly che same prices as ordinary travel- ers.” —__.— ANCIENT PAPY FOUND. {mportant Manuscripts and Coins Found ia an Old Mound. A special to the New York Sun from London says: A great find of ancient papyri in Egypt has been made by Grenfell and Hunt, who are working in behalf of the Egyptian ex- ploration fund.
