New ¥ Clubs, alti ), Louisville. -: The conctuding game of the series and the final one of the season between Chicago and Washington, played Saturday after- noon, was a most listless affair, the only redeming feature being the fact that the home club won by the score of 6 to 4. The day was ov st and cool, the absence of bright sunshine apparently taking ail the life out of the play the game be- ing finally called by Umpire Lynch at the end of the seventh inning on account of darknes: Mercer and Thornton were on the rubber for their clubs and the former did much the better work, although ihe latter struck out ten of the Senators. Mer- cer kept the hits scattered and in tight places gave a fine exhibition of heady pite ing.

Hughie Jennings’ throwing arm has not teen good for a long time. He snapped it again the other day, and that accounts for his lay-off in the Cleveland series. Catcher Zimmer was the victim of both managerial and umpirical fines last Friday at Baltimore. Tebeau threatened to fine him $0 for not running out a pop fly and Umpire Hurst tacked on $10 for a laugh. Hurst called a certain ball delivered by Powell a “ball and “Big Chief” yelled “Ha, ha,” deristvely. Hurst simply turned his head and remarked, “That cost you $10," and Zimmer did not laugh at any more of Hurst's decisions. Several members of the Chicago team brought along with them on this trip viz rolls of money that they are quite willing to bet that Callahan, the pitcher, can beat Billy Hamilton, Tom Brown or any other league player in a 100-yard race. Callahan is said to be the fastest runner ever In the league, barring Hogan, who is now with the Dayton, Ohio, team. Umpire Kelly went to the Philadelphia ball park Saturday afternoon loaded for bear. The very first thing he requested the Philadelphia management to do was to bring two policemen inside the grounds. “Now, the first player that does not mind what I tell him I am going to put on the bench,” said Kelly. “Then, if he gives me any trouble from the bench, I will have him thrown off the grounds. I will not have any more wrangling. The umpire was as good as his word. The game passed off quietly. Possibly the fact that the Philadelphias were in the lead from the start was the cause of it being such a quiet game. Harry Weldon of the Cincinnati Enquirer keeps harping on some sort of a deal where- by Cincinnati will secure Sockalexis. Wel- don remarks that there are some people in Cincinnati who still believe that Sox is a natural ball player, and hints that Ewing's discipline would tame the Indian quickly. There is no doubt upon the first proposition. Sox certainly can play ball when he wants, to, or rather after he has realized that he is going to want to. As- sociations, too, have had much to do with the Indian's downfall. Had he not reported until the practice season began, he might have been all right, but when he struck Cleveland early, and well advertised, he also struck a crowd that did not help his ball playing. Manager Tebeau showed his ill-temper at the way the game was going Saturday in a manner that made the crowd hiss him and did much to lessen the admiration which many Baltimore rooters had for him as a ball player and able antagonist. “Papa Childs, when he went to the bat in the fourth inning, was presented a basket of beautiful flowers by Baltimore _ friends. After that fatal fifth inning Tebeau walked to his bench, and, seeing the flowe! pick- ed up the basket and hurled it MW his might into the grand stand, scattering the flowers in every direction. The peanut and chewing-gum boys wore boutonnieres of roses the remainder of the afternoon. Childs at the time was on the coaching lines. When hissed for his childish display temper Tebeau yelled to the crowd, “That don’t cut no figure with me,” and in his then state of mind he secmed ac- lly to enjoy it—Raltimore Sun. yrommy Dowd the subject of one of Manager Stallings’ bad breaks. Dowd was rk in bed for three days. He was und physician's care at the Hotel Hanover. To his surprise a paragraph appeared in ene of the local papers to the effect that “Dowd had been fined $100 for being on a three days’ drunk.” This was a great in- Justice to Dowd. No matter what may be said of his playing, he has never had the reputation of being a drunkard. Dowd was so angry when he read the paragraph that he sent for Stallings and asked him about it. insisted that ke had nothing to do with it getting in print. “It ii y newspaper talk,” said Stallings. “Pay no attention to it.” But Dowd had paid considerable attention to it. He is on the point of open rebellion. He has been playing bad ball of late. He is not a sun fielder, like McCarthy, Holliday and other players. He carnot play in the sun. In spite of this fact Stallings has Dowd in the sun outfield, and he is making a mes3 or it. «se ball interest has not in the it de- de been at the-low ebb in Philadelphia that it is at the present writing. “The r. ecipts this time are not within 50 per cent of what they were the first trip the R meade nere.” said Manager Bancroft last night.

The Nisbet-Whitman match was pla: on what is known as the championship court, before a crowd of nearly a thou- sand, more than half of which were com- posed of women. Whitman started the service and took the first game on Nish errors, but the next two went to the foreigner on “fine- play” shots. The games followed rapidly until “flve games all” was called, and then Whitman took the odd game and ently had the set. A great rally of N’ in the twelfth game brought the ma back to deuce tin, and then the tor- eigner, through double faults and of Whitman three fine passes in the fourteenth 2, took that set, S- lowing is a complete summary of the championship singles, third ated M.

The 15,000 people who went to the Wash- ington Park course at Chicago Saturday afternoon saw the fastest first heat ever paced, and probably the fastest fourth quarter. The conditiens were good for fast time. The track was springy and fast and the weather was warm, but during the lier part of the afternoon there was quite a little breeze, which the pacers had to breast on the back stretch. The chief event on the card was the match race between Joe Patchen, with a record of 2.01%, and Star Pointer, whose record is 2.01 3-4. The conditions were that they should pace three heats and have the inside position alternately. The toss of a coin gave Patchen the pole for the first and third heats. -Notwithstandiag this advantage, and the fact that he had a quarter of a second the better of his uppo- nent in the matter of records, the race demonstrated that Star Pointer was too fast for him, for the latter won all three of the heats handily, outfooting the black horse. ‘The heats were won in 2.02, 2.04 1-4 and 2.04. Pointer made the last quarter of the first heat in 29 seconds. SCHADE’S GREAT WORK. Champion Cyclist of the South Won Five Races at One Meet. Fred Schade, the southern champion, de- monstrated his right to that title at Pe- tersburg,Va., Saturday by winning five con- secutive first prizes and lowering several state records. Schade, who is after Earl Pea- records. Schade, who is after Earl Pea- body of Chicago in winning the greatest number of firsts this year, has scored so far thirty-three first prizes.

George B. Tincler of England and Thomas Conneff ran a match race for a mile at Worcester, Mass., Saturday for $500 a side, and Tincler won by a remarkable burst of speed in 4 minutes 15 1-5 seconds, a record that has never been approached by either amateur or professional in a public exhibi- tion in this country. Conneff was twelve yards behind at the finish and his time was 4 minutes 20 seconds, which is as good as he expected to do. At the pistol shot Tin- cler darted to the front and jed the way to the first quarter in 59 seconds, with n= neff eight yards behind. The half was reached in 2 minutes 1 second, the third quarter in 8 minutes 8 seconds and the mile in 4 minutes 15 1-5 seconds. Tincler finished fresh and strong. After the race he said he could have lo: professional record of 4.12 2 known he was so close to it. National Circuit Cycling. Eddie Bald won the mile open at the Na- tional Circuit race meet at Crescent Park, Providence, R. 1, Saturday. He was the hero of the day, although he finished second to Gardiner in the invitation race. Gardiner won by a sneak on the pole. Cooper was third and Kiser fourth. In this event Kisc refused to tow the string up to the pace- maker, who had made too fast a start. Cooper made the run out, but was quickly overhauled by Bald. Cooper and Bald fought it out, and the two came neck and neck into the straight, with Kiser hanging and Gardiner at the top of the banking. Bald was watching the outside, but Cooper had left an opening on the pole. Gardiner saw this space and went down the bank and stole the pole. John S. Johnson won the mile open amateur. Kerkau Beaten by McLaughlin. The six-day championship billiard contest that had been running for a week in New York was won Saturday night by Edward McLaughlin, champion of Pennsylvania. He was so far ahead of Hugo Kerkau, his co: petitor, that the German champion admit- ted McLaughlin's complete superiority and said he had never witnessed such playing. McLaughlin had a total for 6,00 points. His total for Saturday was best run 921. His average was au’s total for the week was for the night, and his best His average w: pee ies ER MAKES 4, it run was MINIS’ The Mystery ix ing The certificate of the marriage of Ed- win D.

This is the case in Which the young peo- ple claimed that the offtiating minister, whose name and address they had ne- glected to take, had fuildd to mail a cer- te to the young woman's father at anoke. It appears now, however, that Stier duly mailed the ‘certificate to the bride’s father, but, through unfamillarity with the provisions of the new marriage law, neglected to matt the certificate to the clerk of the court within the pre- scribed period. eS STANDS UP FOR USCL SAM.

George Schultz, who was released from Jail August 6, after serving a sentence of two months for stealing flowers from his mother, Mrs. Anna Schultz, was today sent back to prison by Judge Kimball for five months. The evidence showed that Saturday the accused went to the home of his mother, on Sheridan avenue north- west, and after knocking her down, broke into her greenhouse and carried off some of her p. nts. After being placed under arrest Schultz called the policeman who had him in charge some very bad names. Judge Kim- ball imposed a sentence of three months for the assault and two months additiona] for the other offenses. —_+—_—_ It matters little what it is that you want ycwhether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the Person who can fill your need.

The Little Welch Wonder Defeated Starbuck by Over Two Miles— His Habits and His Wheel. —_+___ Jimmy Michael, the young Welsh cyclist, defeated Frank Starbuck of Philadelphia by over two miles in a thirty-three-mile race at the Manhattan Beach track Satur- day, covering the distance in 66 minut 14 3-5 seconds. From the fifteenth mile to the end he broke all cycling records. A table giving Michael's time at the end of the miles follows Mile; Result of Careful Training. Jimmy Michael is hardly more than a red-faced youngster, and he weighs 10% pounds, yet this Michael can ride a bicycle With the swiftness of the wind. He has in his well-trained muscles more power in proportion than a steam engine. Michael 1 a machine geared to 112. The front sprocket wheel seems out of all proportion to the machine. It has thirty- two teeth, while the rear sprocket has eight teeth. This bigh-geared wheel is no easy thing to set in motion. It is like riding your bicycle up a steep hill on a sandy tead. When once “Jimmie” Michael has this machine going, however, friction and resistance are set at naught. His legs are like piston rods. He has the limbs of a trained athlete. He never seems to tire, and his endurance has never been known to fail. The secret of “Jimmie” Michzel’s success is not in high-geared wheels, however, but in careful and consistent training. There have been thoce who have equaled him in shcrt bursts‘of speed, yet as a long-dist rider he is without’a peer. When others pedal with la fe i droop over the handle appears to et be as vigorous as he was in the beginning of the race. In the six years in which he has been before the public—and he is only twenty years old—he has made racing his business. He has permitted nothing to «- terfere with it. He arises early and goes to bed carly. He dees not smoke or drink. His diet is simple, and his life is like that of a Spartan. His Daily Life. “I get up in the morning,” he said, “be- tween 7 and 8 0 ck. I breakfast on mut- ton chops, fruit and tea. I then take a geod road ride, longer or shorter as my weight goes up or down. I dine at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I have roast beef or mut- , tea and fruit. I never eat pas- y. For supper my bill of fare is practi- lly the same thing. My track work is done in the afternoon. I ride ten or fifteen at a good speed. I have no time to go around in the evenings. I don’t go to after- noon teas, and I have no time for society. 1 don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I take a glass of ale with my meals occasionaliy. I sleep about nine hours a day. “Jimmie” Michael is as simple and unos- tentatious as is his manner of life. He is a good-natured, vigorous, healthy boy. The world and the evil thereof are sealed books to him. He thinks only of riding and of getting ready to ride. His life is possessed with one idea, and his soul is content. He is unassuming in his manner and never speaks of his work unless he is questioned. His Measurements. Although he is small of stature, being only tive feet and half an inch in height, his form is one of athletic symmetry. His measurements, as he gave them to me the other day, are as follows: Inches, Inches. Chest, detlated....i44 | Forearm Chest, inflated. Waist . Biceps . Jimmy Michael was born in Wales. He has been a bicyclist almost from babyhood. He used to take spins along the country roads near his home. Then, as a mere youngster, he entered the local races and made successes which were a surprise to the community in which he lived. He was then doing no training, and paying little at- tention to diet. His first race was in 1891. The last victory which he attained as an amateur was in the great 100-mile race in London, in 1894. He covered the distance in four hours and nineteen minutes, win- ning by a safe margin and breaking the record every mile from 49 to 100. He low- ered the time for the entire distance by ten minutes. He became rated as a professional short- ly after this victory, and began to train regularly. He went to Paris, where he raced for two years. He lost the first three races and then won twenty-four out of the next twenty-five. He was then training under Warburten. His work consisted of dumb bell exercises, walking, work with the pulleys and plenty of riding upon the track or road. It was this first trainer of his who laid out the plan of his life for him, which has had so much to do with his success. The two great precepts of this system were substantial food and nine hours’ sleep. ———__+e+_____ HELD TO ANSWER. Andrew Linco! Required to Give Bond For Assauiting His Wife.

OLD WILLOW TREE COURT Reasons Assigned Why It Cannot Be Trans- formed Into a Street. Does Not Come Up to Specifications to Wadth and ix Crooked— Its History. From present indications it may be said that Willow Tree alley will rot be changed rto a street. Its width is too narrow and it is not straight. These are the most serious objections advanced against the Proposition to transform it. For a long time efforts have been made to convert the alley into a street.

There is general gratification among the members of the Union Veteran Union ever the final settlement of the differences that have existed in the order generally and the local camps particularly.

The among ocher things: petition petition urging the sets forth, Arguments Used. “Much of the property on the alley has no | connection with street or avenue except through other lots. And yet, during all this time, and, in fact, since the year 1800, the owners have been taxed on this prop- erty, and the taxes have gone into the pub- lic funds and been expended on improve. ments upon streets, avenues and alleys ir other parts of the city. The petition urges that Congress be peti- tioned to change the alley into a half Street, and that the same be improved. Willow Tree alley is located in square 69 and extends from B street to C stre southeast between New Jersey avenue and Ast street. It is thirty-tive wide and known as Willow Tree court. When the ter was investigated by the board of Commissioners it upon the report of the computing that: “Public act 141, approved July 22, 189 expresses the intent of Congress alley building line should be at least twen- ty fect frcm its rente » hence that the alley should be at least forty feet wid if used for dwelling houses. Section 10 of the Commissioners” order relating to sub- Givisions (as amended March 20, Vides that no minor street shall be less than sixty feet, exe: der conditions that do not at all app! this engineer Pubilc act 143, approved July 22, 18% with its amending act approved August 2 18M, provides for the opening of minor streets from forty to sixty fect wide, the condemnation of the necessary land’ and the assessing of benefits equal to the dam- ages in the balance of the square. Only Thirty-Five Feet Wide. “The court is thirty-five feet wide, is not straight and is unpaved, but is included in a curren: advertisement for paving wit asphalt o~ vitrified bricks, under the as sessment system. Such being the existing law and the physical facts in this case, I bel'e¥e the Commissioners should with- hold their approval from this petition. In the recommendation of Capt. Beach to the Commissioners upon the petition he calles attention to the above report, and adds, after expressing his belief that it would be inadvisable to ask Congress to make the alley 1 street: “The alley is of less width than required by law for a street, and. moreover, it does not run straight through the block. adjacent property owners feel themselves injured by this being declared an alley they should dedicate sufficient adjacent ground to enable it to become a street der the law.” Whether the board of Commissioners will approve this recommendation is no: known. As the case stands at present, the recommendation of Capt. Beach has the approval of the Engineer Commissioner, although neither of the other Commission- ers has as yet passed upon the case. When the Commissioners return from their va- cation the matter will be taken up and de- cided. ee PRACTICAL TEST. Seissors Grinder to Tinkle His Bell Before Commissioners. Twenty-five of the sunny sons of Ital; who grind knives and scissors for a live- lihcod, and make their presence cn the streets known by a tinkling bell, were be- fore the Commissioners this morning to protest against the action of the police in arresting them for making a noise. They were represented by Mr. C. C. Mo- rero, who made a strong appeal to the Ccmmissioners to permit them to ply their trade unmolested. The tinkle of the bell disturbed no one, he said, and it would be unjust to take away from them this slight privilege of advertising their pres- ence. He asked that they be allowed to ring their bells between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The Commissioners before acting upon the matter, requested one of the grinders to appear before them this afternoon at 4 o'clock and tinkle his bell, in order that they may judge of its tone and decide whether it is a nuisance. —_>__—— “Papa’s Baby” Strayed Away. A colored girl, cdrrying in her arms a small female child, entered police head- quarters this morning and said she had found the waif on 7th street. As the lt- tle one appeared to be lost, she took charge of her and said she was willing to care for her at her home until her parents could be found. But this was a little out of the regular order, and the officers told her that one nee the cae plore would take ea aye time Detective Proctor tried to ascertain something of the child's iden- tity, but all he could jearn was “I'm pipa's baby.” Before the matron arrived the child's father, Mr. Skelly, who lives at No. 236 44%, street, called and took bis baby girl home.

SRST at tatty SCHOOL BUILDING Comr w Structure at Corner of L Streets Northeast, ‘The public school building at the corner of ETED, 5th and L streets northeast has been com- pleted. The house was built by C. Thomas & Son and cost the District $24,538. This, however, may be reduced somewhat by rea- Son of the penalties which the building in- Spector has charged against the contracor. It seems the building was to have been finished the Ist of June. Since that date a penalty of $10 per day, as per contract, has been charged against the contractor, to- gether with $4 per day for an inspector. This brings the penaities up to a figure over $1,000, The contractors have written a letter to the Commissioners urging them to cancel the penalties, as it was not their ffult the building was not completed on time. They say further that the District has suffered no inconvenience by reason of the non- completion of the building, as it will not be occupied until the middie of next month. The inspector of buildings will make the recommendation in the case. ———_ Dogs Being Sacrificed. Pourdmaster Einstein impounded 247 dogs last week, while during the preceding week 318 were captured.
