Mr. Wagner will not attempt to manage the team ‘from the bench, but will give the captain entire charge of the men during the game. Mr. Wagner. will, however, be untrammeled in exercising his own judg- ment in the matter of the make up of the team. Heretofore, there being a-manag2r under contract, he always deferred to the judgment of that official, not invariably, many think, with the best results to the club. Those who know not only what has been done, but what has been under considera- tion for the past year, are satisfied that if a Baki ideas had been carried out ie Washington team would ti near a first division club. Pees men whom he had picked out and whose names he could have secured to contracts are today star players on other league teams. Mr. Wagner believed in infusing new blood into his team, while Mr. Schmelz al- ways held that ox! players trained to play together would prove stronger than a team breken up by the introduction into the ranks of untried colts, no matter what ear- marks they might have as “comers.” ‘ Another one—lower yet.

Forty-one thousand six hundred specta- tors saw the six National League games Saturday, while 5,500 were at the New Haven Harvard-Princeton contest. It is, indeed, the national game. The Cincinnati management wants Han- lon to transfer one of last week's postponed games to Cincinnati. Unless Brush with- draws his objection to the transfer of that extra Louisville game to New York the Baltimore transfer will not go through.

Mr. Schmelz leaves the Washington club with the friendliest feelings and the con- sciousness of having done his best to pro- vide a fast team for Washington. This fact is recognized, too, by his employers, and- by the public as well. Mr. Schmelz also realized that his course had not been @ popular one, and that to pursue it longer would have the effect of reducing the at- tendance from day to day, and therefore he freely gave up the managerial reins. Both Mr. Wagrqr and Mr. Schmelz were at National Park this morning when a Star reporter visited it. They were engaged in closing their busfness relations, which have always been and still are of the friendliest character. : Mr. Wagner found time to talk with a Star reporter at considegable length as to what the change of management means. He wants some new men, and assured The Star reporter that he would leave nothing undone to strengthen his team. the Chicago Colts. There is another Indian in the business. Rockford, Ill, has signed one. His name is Buck Heart. He ts acatcher. He is a Car- lisle Indian. Wallace has sent Jimmie McGarr to the minor league ranks. The Cleveland club has asked the other league clubs to waive claims to “‘Chippie.’ Billy Hallman says he thinks Tommy Dowd will have his troubles with the Whil- adelphia team. According to Billy, second bese at the Philadelphia Park is one of the hardest in the league. “When the sun is out it shines in your face, and when ft isn’t the place is awfully dark,” says Billy. The St. Louis Browns seem to be a great deal better team now than they were when they had their stars. The gang of “mis- fits” and “cast offs’ have won two out of the last three, and one of their victories was from the champions.

Harvard Oarsmen Take Kindly to Lehmann’s System. Critics of rowing form may discuss the comparative merits of English and Armeri- can strokes, but their difference is slight compared with the difference in training methods pursued here and in England. A Poughkeepsie dispatch says that the mem- bers of the Harvard crew have all develop- ed tremendous apvetites since they have been at Crum Elbow, and the way they are eating really alarms Young, the chef, who has cooked for Harvard crews off and on for sixteen years. He says this crew, if they do nothing else, will break all rec- ords for eating. At luncheon yesierday a sheep was devoured by the 'Vargity eight, to say. nothing of what disappeared from the’ Ireshmen’s tabie. - . Lehmann’s policy at the training table is a liberal one. The diet that he gives the men is a radical departure trom the training systems in vogue in this coun- try. A giass of claret or ale is served to each man at every meal except breakfast, and after a particularly hard day’s work @ goblet of champagne awaits every man on his return to quarters. This is the English way of training, and the Harvard boys seem to enjoy it. -c A. C. ATHLETICS. Field and Track Meet to Be Held Saturday. The field and track meet of the Colum- bia Athletic Ciub will be held Saturday afternoon on Columbia field, corner of 17th and C streets, and promises to be the most interesting athletic exhibition ever given by theclub. There are fourteen events on the program, for which there are in all ncarly 150 entries, embracing not only the mem- bers of the club, but most all of the other athletic organizations in the city, some coming even from the Maryland Agricul- tural College. It is noticeable, however, that there are no entrants from George- town University. 4 ANOTHER WORLD RECORD MADE. Twenty Miles Made at Kansas City in the First Hour. KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 8—The first day’s racing in the women’s interstate six- day bicycle race brought out a crowd of over 4,000 people.

Favors a Change. To the Editor of The Evening Star: About the 13th of February last I bought the coal yard at 910 Virginia avenue south- east, and on the 15th had to tear out the frame of the scales, which had been in- spected on the 25th of January and pro- nounced correct by the sealer of weights and measures. One end sill was almost entirely rotted away, and the scales were useless, and I, for one, am heartily in favor of a change in the office of sealer of weights afd measures. HENRY C. EMRICH, Coal Dealer. Henry Smith, a small colored boy, was in the Police Court yesterday, charged with housebreaking. In order to secure the at- tendance of his parents, before disposing of the case, and not caring to commit the little fellow to jail, Judge Kimball con- signed him temporarily to the care of the board of children’s guardians. Henry was taken to the Maulsby Home to spend the night, and was there put to bed. An attend- ant went to Henry's bed this m-orning, “but when she pulled the kivers down he wasn’t there, at ali.” The boy had taken French, or some other foreign form of de- parture during the night, and now the police are looking for him. ——— Prisoner Had Nothing to Say. There was considerable excitement in the neighborhood of 7th and P streets at an early hour this morning, when a man -ras found under decidedly suspicious circum- stances in a yard in the rear of the Thyson House. An alarm was sounded, Policeman Trumbo responded, and the intruder was arrested. He stated his name to be Will- jam Jackwood. In the Police Court the facts were plained to Judge Mills. The court was further informed that the reputation of Jeckwood is that of a thief. ~The prisoner had nothing to say, and he was sent to the workhouse for ninety days, In default of $100 bonds. ——_—_ It matters little what it is that you want— whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need. of “97, ge $S9HOS 9906 60 SOOSSEOOSOSO The Wheel The “Crawford.” The equal of the best wheel made--$50.
