Chte: s. -6)1! Philadeiphia 2001 Brookly: club wound up a bril- liant week's work Saturday by defeating the Brooklyns for the third consecutive time by the score of 7 to 4, making the sixth win of the week. It is seldom, in- deed, that the Senators are able to chalk up such a string of victories, but the good work performed by them, both in the field F, Subagent, 9th and H sts.ant6-16d | and at the bat, if continued, would dupli- cate the record many times over. Mercer and Dunn were the opposing Pitchers, the former having by far the best of it, as he kept the hits scattered, espe- cially with men on bases, while the latter was hammered rather freely in the third and fifth innings, the latter inning develop- ing four runs for the Senators. Besides pitching such a good game, Winnie got in- to the game with both feet with his bat, hitting for three safeties, one of them be- ing a triple. Tommy Tucker was right on his heels with three singles, while the other players, with the exception of Brown and O’Brien, secured one hit or more. Dunn has been a hard proposition heretofore for the Senators, but his slows and curves were meat for them Saturday. The fielding support given Mercer wes almost perfect, the little slip-ups of De Mont and O'Brien not being costly, while the errors contributed by the Bridegrooms all helped to swell the run column of the home club.

The game at Cincinnati” yesterday be- tween the Chicagos and Ewingites was full of interest from start to finish, the home club winning by the score of 3 to 2. Billy Rhines was in good form, and held the hard-hitting Chicego boys downto five hits, while Briggs was hit hard, but the phenomenal! fielding back of him kept the runs down.

Adrian C. Anson, the grand old maa of the game, the noblest Roman of them all, the landmark of the National League, does not think there is any need for alarm abou the umpires, according te the Cincinnatt Enquirer. The subject was broached to the chief of thes Chicegos just after he had written in a business-like hand on the ho- tel register the names of the fifteen ath- Jetes who are battling for Chicago's stan4- ing on the ball field. The views of the vet- eran will meet the approbation of many lovers of sport. “I eannot see what all the hub-dub is about,” said the white-haired chief. “The umpires are all right: There is bound to be some trouble about the umpires as long as the chief of staff pays the slightey at- tention to the grumbles and protests of dis- eruntied club officials. There are quite a number of club presidents who imagine that every time their team is defeated the umpire is responsible for the defeat, and hasten to use their telegraph frank wiring @ message to President Young de- manding that a charge of umpires be made. The whole trouble lies in these protests having any effect. It should be the rule with President Young to send an umpire to a place to officiate in so many games. No matter what the provocation, or how many protests were nade, the umpire should be kept in that place until he has completed his assignment.” “What method would you suggest?” “Why, lei the umpires be scheduled at the first of the year, just as the teams are scheduled,” was the reply. “It isn’t neces- sary that everybody should see this sched- ule. Then let the umpires make the cir- cuit. If there is a good umpire on the staff then everybody will have the benefit of his decisions. Tom Lynch is considered @ great umpire. Because he is great is ho reason that Bzston should have him umpiring for them nearly all the time. There are other teams in the league just as much entitled to have the best as the Bostons. Let them all share and share alike. Take the so- called bad with the good. T! club has-not protested an umpire on.” ; “How about Sheridan?” “The papers did some howling work in Chicago this se.- he was games Piles promptly cured | COmplained most about. Another trouble is that there are two kinds of ball being detention from business. | Played in the league this season.” “What do you mean?’ “Simply this: Iphias, teams are pected of are will ‘Chicagos and playing ball upright, They believe that the umpire is honest and is trying to do his best. They realize that he may make mistakes, but do not be- eve that he should be ‘abused like a horse thief for doing it. Then there is an- other class—the rowdk-looking-for-the-best- of-it class. The New Yorks, Baltimores and Clevelands are in this class. They grumble and growl about every close de- cision. They wrangle with the umpire at the slightest provocation in hopes that he may be intimidated into giving a decision in their favor.” “What do you think of the umpiring this season?” “I can cheerfully say that I think it is the best in the history of the league. I believe the umpiring has been better this year than it ever was before. All of the umpires that have officiated for us have been honest and competent. If the league would make a rule making it compulsory for a team to keep an umpire the full length of his assignment without protest- ing, and change the umpires every week, I think there would be very little trouble about the umpires.” “What do you think of the Reds?” “They have played great ball this sea- son. They have a chance for the pennant, but the Bostons and Baltimores have a better chance. I would not be surprised to see the Reds finish second. My team is now playing great ball. We will give those eastern teams considerable trouble. We will win more on this trip than we will lose.” BEATEN BY BALTIMORE. Local Cricketers Put Up a Good Game Agninst the Orioles. The return match between the cricketers of Baltimore and Washington was played on the Chevy Chase grounds Saturday, the home team being beaten. The features of the game were the fin2 batting of Robin- son, the timely assistance of Oldham and the effective bowling of Mallinckrodt, Cole, and Lake. The Baltimores are more favorably situ- ated than the »layers here, as they have unusually fine grounds, perfectly level, and playing true always, ably superinieuded and under the keen eye of Spencer Old- ham, the professional, who is ever watch ing for young players to train and thor- oughly educrie in the game. In the team visiting this city Saturday were two play- ers of great promise, Cole and Robinson, both colts of Olcham, Cole having been chosen on the team representing the Unit- ed States ageinst Canada, to be played at Toronto next month. If the local piayers had the assistance of a good professional his serviess would be of great value, but in the meantime they accept defeat like trne sportsmen, and are steadily improv- ing. The details of the game follow, only one completed inning being played by each side: Baltimorc—First Inning. H. B. Cole ¢. Portman b, Lake 6 T. Smith ©. Hacker b. Mork 3 Mnilinckrodt b.

A new alliance between the Amateur Athletic Union and the League of Ameri- can Wheelmen has just been signed and will go into effect at once. The alliance was prepared by Albert Mott, ex-chairman of the racing board, L. A. W., representing President Potter of the L. A. W., and President McMillan of the A. A. U. The signing of this alliance effectually silences all reports of ill feeling and prob- ably war between these two powerful ath- letic bodies. The new alliance is much stronger than the old one, and many points that caused trouble in the old alliance are now clearly set forth. The new alliance strengthens both organizations. It reads as fellows: 1. All cycling events in championship or cther open mectings of the A. A. U. or its associations or clubs shall be given under the rules of the L. A. W., and all athletic events in any meeting, given under the sanction of the L. A. W., shall be heid un- der the rules of the A. A. U. 2. Charges ageinst any cyclist or athlete shall be tried by the party to this alliance having jurisdiction, except that an A. A. U, cyclist shall be tried by a committee of three, one of whom shall be named by the A. A. U., one by the L. A. W., and the third member by the two so chosen; pro- vided that the accused shall, within twenty days after the receipt of such charges, sub- mit to the racing board proof of his A. A. U. membership and claim trial by such committee. 3. NO athletic games, meetings, benefits or entertainments, which include or are held in connection with a cycling event or events, shall be sanctioned or recognized by the A. A. U. or by eny of its associa- tions in any case where a sanction for such cycling event or events shall have been or shall be withheld or refused by the L. A. W., and in all cases where such athletic games, meetings, benefits or entertain- ments shall have been or shall be inadvert- ently sanctioned or recognized, the sanc- tion or recognition thereof shail be forth- with canceled and annulled. No cycling event which is included in or run in con- rection with any program of aihletic games, mectings, benefits or entertain- rents, shall be sanctioned or recognized by the L. A. W. in ary case where sanc- tion or recognition of such games, meet- ings, benefits or entertalnments shall have been or shall be withheld or refused by the A. A. U. or by any of its associations, and in every case where such cycling event or events shall have been or shall be inadvert- ently sanctioned or recognized by the L. A. W., sch sanction shall be forthwith can- celed and. annulled. 4. The League of American Wheelmen shall annually, or at such time and for such periods as it may deem advisable, ap- point a delegate, who shall act with and constitute one of the board of governors of the A.A.U., and shall have a vote upon all questions coming before the said board, and a right to sit upon committees and take part in all the actions thereof, as fully as members of said board elected from. the several associations ofthe A.A.U. 5.

WEST AGAINST rhe EAST. Sensational Fenture of the Coming Meet of the AsA. U. The championship mesting: of the Ama- teur Athletic Union, that is to be held on Manhattan Field, Saturday, August 28, will Prove the most sensational meet ever held under the auspices of the A. A. U. It promises to be a battle between the east and west. For the first time in the his- tory of athletics, the west is to be repre- sented by a strong team. The star of the Chicago A. A. team is J. H. Mabury, the crack sprinter who is expected to defeat Wefers. These two record holders will meet in the two short races, 100 yards and 220 yards. The quarter-mile this year wili be well worth seeing. Long, the young runner of the N. Y. A. C., will meet Tom Burke, and a hot race it will be. Burke has age and experience on his side, which will count for a great deal. Manvel of the N. J. A. C., the young schoolboy champion, will again meet Tur- ner of the N. Y. A. C. in the half-mile race. Manvel was not quite in condition at the local championship meeting and has promised to train hard for the race on the The weignt throwing contest will bring out all the big men. Among the entries this year will be John Flanagan, the holder of the world’s record; R. W. Edgren, Jas. Mitchell, Fred. Beck and Dr. W. J. Barry of Boston. ‘The track and grounds at Manhattan Field will be put in perfect shape by W. H. Robertson, who has been engaged by the A. A. U. committee. The athletes of the Chicago A. A. who will compete in the national championshis games of the A. A. U., on August 2S, at Manhattan Field, are training at ‘the Washington Park Club. The star athletes of che west will make up the team. Ma- bury and Richards of the University of Wisconsin, are both in prime condition. Rush of GrinneH. will also be in the sprints, and Potter of Northwestern” has been selected as one of the men for the relay race. Kraenztlein and Richards will be seen in the hurdles, and Townsepd has been drafted for the quarter-mile race. C. S. Reber, who holds the world’s record for the broad jump, will go into training at once. Manager Stone has the men in charge. The team will leave for the east August 21, and finish their training at Travers Island. TROUBLE AMONG OARSMEN. ° Movement to Se ¢ From tional Association, A Philadelphia special to the New York World says: Many of the visiting oars- men left for their homes today, and the river presented a deserted appearance. The national regatta of 1807 may be fraught with great importance ‘to the oarsmen of this country on account of the dissension in the ranks gf the National Association. { For some time past a movement has been avietly formulated to ‘seeéde from the Parent body and organizé a separate and independent ‘ociation., Assurances have been received from at ist sixteen outside clubs that they are willing to jump if the Schuylkill Navy will join the movement. The defeat of Gordon, 8. Carrigan, the navy’s candidate for the national execu- tive committee at the annual convention, last Saturday has given the,-movement a big impetus in Philadelphia,,and the muz- terings formerly heard ;have turned into open threats. rn t There are over a dozen jelubs in the Schuylkill Navy, all of them being wealthy organizations, and with -thein support it is the Na- ; thought the new association will ‘quickly it ong, Many clubs in sociation are. dissatisfied with the way affairs are conducted by the board, and unless the executive: committee can induce the Schuylkill Navy to remain loyal it is expected that a new association will be formed this winter, which will formulate its own rules and hold its own regatta, ignoring the other body. THE REGATTA, Fimals of the Nationa? Association’s Contests. More than 35,000 persons saw the con- tests of the National Association of Ama- teur Oarsmen at Philadelphia Saturday. The course was three-quarters of a mile and return, except for the international fours and senior eights, which were pulled one mile and half straightaway. The C. A. C. feur of this city finished last in «he international contest. The pair oared was postponed until today, as the West Phila- delphia shell was fouled by the Argonauts of Toronto, whose shell sank.

The Washington cinb opens up a serics of three games in Boston today, McJames probably pitching for the Senators. There will be no tears shed if the Bostons get :-I] three games, as the local rooters are pull- ing for that club to beat out the Balti- mores, even if the Senators have to be :he victims. King will be left at home, on account of @ sore Side, and, with German, Bresnahan and Gottman, will practice at National Park until the club returns. Dunkle, the new Pennsylvania pitcher, is expected in tcwn tomorrow, and Fox Wednesday. No changes will be made in the Senators’ make-up as long as they continue to win. The Boston club is oniy four games ahead of the Baltimore toughs, and the latter has the advantage of six more games at home. The birds are joyous over the six games they have with the Chica- goes. The Colts may fool them, as they are playing great ball just n The Torontos lost to Buffalo S.turday, their first fall-down for a tong time, but they got back at the bisons yesterday at Buffalo before a big crowd, winning by the score of 10 to 8 Norton lost Saturday's game by poor pitching. Captain Brown has given it out that as long as the Senators win therewill be no changes. Without wanting to criticise Mr. Brown's conclusions, which are doubtless backed up by the management, :t wovld seem to be a good stroke of business if the new men were tried this fali, insted of waiting until spring to ascertain whether | they are fit for league company or not. |The local people care very little whether the Senators finish eleventh or ninth, but by putting new men into the game con- siderable. interest would be revived. Charley Reilly’s finger that was broken in the last Baltimore game is mending nicely, and he says he will be able to get back in the game by the time the club re- turns from Boston. Outside of the Baiti- more series, Charley put up a first-class game all through the season, and it is to be hoped his spell of bad luck has passed. The batting averages of the Toronto team, up to and including last Wednesday's game, are given below and will be read with interest by Washington's base ball enthusiasts who have been watching the | Canucks all the past season.

Pitcher Dammann, the left-handed “phe- nomenon of last spring, has been ex- ploded. Manager Ewing has decided to leave him behind when the team comes east, and both Hawley and Vaughn will also stay at home. The poor “Phillies” got another of their periodical “‘shakings up” on Saturday, and Tommy Dowd was one of the victims. He was displaced from right field, Dele- hanty going to right, Lajoie from first base to left field, and Boyle to first from behind the bat, McFarland doing the back- stop work. Manager Ewing is much dissatisfied with his pitching corps. Dammann has proved a failure, Ehret is not to be depended vpon and Rhines is uncertain. Ewing is trying to get Dan Daub, the old Brooklyn pitcher, and Jot Goar, an Indianapolis man. There is not a team in the league that travels as elaborately as the Chicagoes, wno play at National Park next Saturday. Anson believes in giving his players the best of everything. The Colts do not travel to and from the grounds in a "bus, as do all the other teams. They have carriages. Exhibition games are played rarely by Anson's men. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, for instance, while the Cincinnatis are playing exhibition games in Wilmington, Hillsboro and Cumberland, the Chicago team will be on a fishing trip at Deer Park, Md. There isn't another in the league that would give its players a three days’ vacation at this sea- son of the year.

STORIES OF BALL PLAYERS. - How Amon Rusie Once Slept With Life Preservers On. From the New York Sun. Amos Rusie, who is the star pitcher of the league and whose name has been be- fore the public more than any other player during the last two years, because of his recent trouble with the New York club, is a thoroughly sophisticated young man. But there was a time when Amos was, in the language of his fellow players, a “Rube.” That was when he first joined the Indianapolis league team in 1889. He had never been away from that city, and wh2n Ice Cream Soda, sc.

As a result big Amos was “strung” continually, much to the s: of the players. After playing three games at the Py grounds the team left for Boston one night on the Fail River boat. Rusie, flanked on each side by his two guardians, stood om the deck as the steamer sailed up the East river. “When we get out of this river,” said Amos, “where do we go then?” “Away out in the ocean,” cock’s quick retort. “I've never seen the ocean: like?" asked the hooster. “Why, it’s nothing but a waste o° wate,” chimed in Denny. “It reaches from here to England and Ireland and is a hundred ret enjoyment ‘ole was Glass- what is it miles dee} A mug that falls into it is Tae ipa usie shuddered and sed a oe ng Proposed to go into “Let's have a game of bili: said Charley Bassett, the sec: “All right!” replied the pitche the billiard room? ds, Amos!” r Where's They told him that he Mould find it by asking the purser. and then they roared when Amos came back with the information that “the room was closed for the night!” It was pretty stormy out and the boat began to roll. Glasscock, Denny, Bassett, Buckley and other members of the team were apparently frightened, and began to talk about life preservers. ‘We'd better put ‘em on before we get into the bunks!” said Denny, “so that in case the ship sinks we'll float out of the windows and be saved.” “What are these preservers, anyway?” Amos asked. Then they took him to his state room and told him to stand erect. Denny and Glasscock had brought life pre- servers from the other state rooms, so that they were able to literally envelop Amos in cork belts. The preservers were put on, too, over the big pitcher's street cloth and he was finally lifted into a berth Ii a bag of salt. An hour or so later Denny came to the window of Amos’ room and shouted through the blinds: “She's a-sinking! Keep perfectly still and le en your back!” Amos followed these instructions to the letter, also sup- plementing them by not closing his eyes all night. When the team got to Boston in the morning he whispered to Glasscock : “That was a narrow escape, Jack! guess I'll go back by rail!” Bill Schriver, the Cincinnati catcher, was also a trifle green when he first signed with the Brooklyn club, a dozen years ago. Bill Was a typical countryman, but was such @ promising ball player that the Brooklya club decided to take him on a western trip. “Where are we going?” Bill asked the manager as they boarded a train at Jersey ‘i I Jut west,” was the laconic rep Bill sat beside a window and gaze country passing rapidly by. When the train reached Newark Schriver looked around at the other players and then s: back in his seat. He was apparently nerv- ous about something and kept fidgeting un- til the train rolled into Trenton. Then he grabbed his valise and bat bag and moved rapidly toward the door. ‘Hey, there, Bill!” ‘where are you going Why, ain't this the end of our route?” asked the catcher. “How much further have we got to travel, anyhow?” When Bill finally reached St. Louis was in a sort of trance. Ball players thrive on good food when they are traveling. Some of them go through the bill of fare at the big hotels like hungry tramps at a cottage door. Sev- eral years ago the New Yorks were in Louisville. Dad Clarke and Eddie Burke were sitting at the table together, and Ed- die said to Dad: “You give the order: Dad picked up the “program” and was confronted with a long list of French dishes, which Dad wouldn't have attempted to pronounce for big money. “Come here!” yelled Dad to the waiter, “and don't be swelling up in that dress suit!” Then Dad put his forefinger on the bill of fare and let it slide slowly down past the various names. “Gimme some 0’ tha’ “Bring me a lot o' that! “I want plenty o° that! “Lug along a dish o’ this! “Gimme a pile o’ that stuff, and have it good. See!” “Wee! Wee!” said the waiter, who turn- ed inquiringly to Burke. Eddie waved him off with the imperious request: “Bring me the same!” The rivalry between the different league teams is nothing compared to the bitter feeling which used to exist between the Boston and Providence teams in 1883 and 1884. The players were at swords’ points, particularly the rival second basemen, Bur- dock and Jack Farrell. The latter resorted to all sorts of tricks when he was on his own grounds in Providence, such as spreading pieces of broken glass near sec- ond base and preventing the Bostons from sliding by telling them that the glass was there. Farrell also was in the habit of sharpening his spikes to a razor e a whenever he reached first base he failed to show his spikes to Burdock the warning remark: “I'm coming down there and you'll lose a leg if you get in the way!” Burdock was at a loss to know how to stop Farrell, until one day a happy thought struck him. He bought a coil of barbed wire, and, after he had put on his stock- ings, he wound the wire around the calw of his legs. Then he went out on the field said to Farrell: “When you slife today look out for me or I'll tear you into ribbons.” Jack saw the wire and became as meek as a lamb. ————_—+e-—___ Joseph Whipped a Woman.
