A special to the Baltimore Sun~ from n City, Md., says: Henry Smith, the rriage painter who recently fell heir to a large estate by the death of his fataer, in New York, has returned to Berlin, Wor- cester county, after having had paid to him by the representatives of the estate the comfortable sum of $120,000 in cash. He Iso entitled to a one-fifth part of one yn dollars’ werth of real estate on iway. He will soon move to Washing- . where he will engage in business, but present he is still painting carriages for Henry J. Anderson. His sudden pros- perity is carried very well, the only indi- eation being a rather large display of diamonds. Few who admire the masterly sketches of C. D. Gibson, the illustrator and artist, know that his talents have been exerted in other fields than those of art. C. D. Gib- son is never spoken of as an inventor, and yet a review of the records of the patent office discloses the fact that years ago he gave his attention to the problem of car ventilation. His Invention consists of a horizontal shaft fitted across the car just beneath the roof. On either side of the middle of the ear the shaft has a broad-threaded screw, left hand on one side, right on the other. The screw, which is driven by a belt and pulley connection from the car aale at the side of the car, in revolving bushes the air from the sides to the middle of the car, where it finds exit through a ventilator hole. The invention, though not of practical value, shows an original turn of mind, which has been used to better effect in the artist's popular productions. F. D. A. THE WORLD OF SPORT Successful Meet of the Amateur Athletic Union. STAR POINTER BREAKS THE RECORD Time for Cycling Twenty-Five Miles Cut Down. NOTES OF BALL PLAYERS Today’s Schedule and Weather. Cleveland at Boston—clear. Chicago at New York—cloudy. Cincinnati at Baltimere—cloudy. The game played at National Park Sat- urday afternoon between the St. Louis and Washington clubs could have been termed a comedy of errors but for the disgust- ing tactics resorted to by the visiting play- ers to rattle Umpire Kelley and the pain- ful experience of Morgan Murphy in try- ing to pull off one of his fancy plays. The game was called in the eighth inning, with the score standing 16 to 11 in favor of the Senators. As the game was started at 4 o'clock in- stead of a half hour later, the players no doubt concluded they had just that much leeway, and as a result continuous kick- ing was indulged in that delayed the game at several points until the usual time for ending the game had arrived. Umpire Kel- ley had a hard day of it, and several of his decisions were apparently wide of the mark, but he played no favorites, one club suffering as much as the other. The St. Louis players travel over the circuit with chips on their shoulders, no doubt believ- ing they will get the short end of every- thing, and just as soon as a doubtful de- cision is given they go up in the air like a pack of bronchos. Monte Cross kicked so hard on the number of balls that Kel- ley’s indicator gave him that he was bench- ed. and as a result the club was so much weakened. Appealing to the scorers won’t do on de- cisions like this, as they do not keep track of balls and strikes, and had Cross heen sustained the umpire would have been made the laughing stock of the spectators. It was only a case of one ball, and Cross’ kick had the appearance of a desire to be retired. Then Hart's retirement had the same aspect, as he kept up his kick too long over a decision of a ball or strike. But putting Jim McGuire out of the gane takes on a humorous turn. This was Jim's first experience of this sort, and to see Lim protesting furnished quite a surprise to the onlookers. He was on third when a fly ball was hit into left field. At the time it was caught McGuire started home and made it. The umpire thought he started too soon, and several of the spectators agreed with him, but Jim's dander was up, and he wouldn’t subside until he had been benched, Farrell taking his place. Morgan Murphy was the first man to go cut of the game, and his retirement seemed to take considerable life out of the Browns. Morgan started to jump in front of the batter to take the ball from the pitcher, so as to catch Reilly, who made a bluff to steal second, but he closed his hands too soon, and as a result the index finger of his right hand was badly mashed. One of the surgeons at the Freedmen’s Hospital fixed Morgan up in first-class shape, but it will be a week before he is back in the game. Cy Swaim started in to do the twirling for the Senators, but he appeared to be the man the Browns had been looking for for some time, as they pasted his delivery to all parts of the lot, and he had to be re- tired in the fourth, McJames taking his place. Hart was also hit hard, but his sup- pert was something weird, and after he had been retired by the umpire, Powell came into the game and was terribly wild. While the Browns have only five errors chalked up against them, their errors of omission were more costly than the ones committed. All the outfielders seemed to be in a trance, Lally dropping an easy fly, while Harley had lots of trouble with the stn. The Senators fielded well in the face of the continuous hitting. The balls that went safe were not of the suspicious kind, but went off the bat like balls from a rifle, and were in the outfield before a step could be made to intercept them.

HOPES OF THE ORIOL¥S. How the Baltimores’ Manager Looks Upon Their Chances. From the Baltimore Sun, today. Base ball is immenscly uncertain, but to all appearances the champions will have an easier time of it this week than last. After today’s game with the Reds come four games with the St. Louis, and the week will end with the opening game of the Pittsburg series. It is thovght to be an easy week, but it is the “easy” clubs that beat the Balti- mores. Beware of overconfidence, Orioles. Overconfidence has lost many a game for Baltimore. Manager Hanlon said yesterday that he felt very sanguine that his boys would get that fourth flag. “We have been pleying the strong west- ern clubs, Cleveland, Caicago and Cincin- nati, and have the weaker ones to come, having four games each with Louisville and St. Louis and three with Pittsburg, while Boston ‘s playing Cincinnati, Chi- cago and St. Louis. “We have steadily gained on Boston lately, although playing the sirongest west- ern teams. Our pitching force is. just now as good as any in the league, and certainly we cannot do any werse batting than for the last week or more, and I think it will improve. The middle and latter part of the batting list has been doing all the bat- tirg lately. “Hasn't Quinn been hitting at the right time!” exclaimed the manager, “and how he has been killing base hits at short. Yes, I think we shall win without much trouble. I still think New York a dangerous factor, and any slip by either of the leaders may put the Giants in the Temple cup series.”” Base Ball Notes. No game todey. This date was left open in the schedule so as to permit the playing off of postponed games. As the Senators have none with Pittsburg, the players of both teams will enjoy a holiday today. Only three clubs ere practically assured of their positions at the close of the cham- pionship race. These are Cincinnati, which cannot hope for better than fourth place; Cleveland, which fs in little danger of being ousted from the fifth position, and St. Louis, which has last place so tightly cinened that even if the Phillies do their worst they not reach the foot of the ladder. The fights now on are for the three leading positions and for the honer of fin- ishing in the last notch of the first division. For the latter place six clubs have a show, and none of them has a mortgage on even tenth place. Chicago, Pittsburg, Louisville, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Washington may all«wind up anywhere from sixth to eleventh, inclusive. This sex- tet are waging a war all by themselves, and they are so closely bunched that their playing will awaken some interest, at least, in these six cities. One week ago there was a gap of .063 between Chicago, which was and still is sixth, and Washington, the occupant then and now of eleventh place. All occupy the same place they did one week ago, but the losses in percentage of 008 by and .0Ol by Pittsburg and the gain of .004 by Louisville and Philadelphia, .017 by Brooklyn and .019 by ‘Washington have lessened the distance be- tween Chicago and the Senators to .085 in percentage, and have put all six ina close bunch. This week Chicago will y New “York, Boston and Brooklyn, Pitts! must will entertain Pittsburg and Louisville. It will thus be seen that a the moving about of objects { a kaleidoscope is Hkely to be nothing com- eaaras pared with the changes of positions among this sextet between this and Sunday. Manager Arthur Irwin of the Toronto team of the Eastern League ts anxious to get Pitcher Horton of Baltimore, recently loaned to Reading, and Manager Hanlon on Saturday wired Horton to report to To- ronte. Instead Horton went to Baltimore and had a talk with Mr. Hanlon and ob- jected to going, but will probably change his mind. Hanlon told Horton if he could get a berth on a big league team he could have his release at once. Mr. Hanlon may send another of his young pitchers to Read- ing to take Horton's place. “In the fall of 89 I went to St. Louis to try and secure Comiskey for the Phila- delphia club,” says Billy Valtz, a Philadel- phia newspaper man. ‘Upon arriving there and talking with Von der Ahe $15,000 was named by Chris as the financial induce- ment for Comiskey’s release. This was finally reduced to $12,500, and Reach and Rogers wired their willingness to pay the figure demanded. As authorized by the Philadelphia owners, I then offered Comis- key a contract for five years at an annual salary of $5,000, or $25,000 in all, to play first base and captain the Philadelphia club. -I thought we had Comiskey sure, but the next morning, upon going to the ball park, was told by Charley that he had decided to take charge of the brotherhood club at Chicago *the next season. Messrs. Reach and Rogers were willing to spend $37,500 for one player's services for five years. The telegrams which passed between the Phila- delphia club's owners and myself on this subject I still have in my possession to Prove that what I say ts so.” If Ned Hanlon expects to have a walk- over for the pennant, as he said he would|- early in the seascn, he does not say 50 now. Ned has suddenly become very con- servative, and in reply to a question as to what team would win the pennant he said: “Well, every one of the first four teams has a chance, but, of course, the Reds have the poorest chance, because they are playing away from home. We are out for it, but there are still a whole lot of games to be played, and Fdo not care to make any rash claims. Base ball is so uncertain that just at a time when you think that you have got everything coming your way something goes wrong, and there you are.” The startling statement in O. P. Caylor’s story for the New York Herald of the game which the Louisvilles won last week in the metropolis that “the Giants acted as if they were half dead and wholly drunk” was due to a typographical error. The intelligent compositor made the mistake of substitut- ing the word “drunk” for “dumb.” There has been no dissipation among the New York players this season. Last spring the Rochester club placed a prohibitive price on Ollie Beard when the Detroit club opened negotiations for his re- lease. It was a toss-up with President Van Derbeck whether he would secure Bob Al- len or Beard to manage the Tigers. Allen, who was engaged, is now with the Boston club and Beard has just joined the De- troits. He opened the season with Scran- ton and then went to Syracuse. His re- lease from each club was due to the fact that he is a high-priced player. It is said to be highly probable that he will manage the Detroits next season. ‘Third Baseman Donnelly, whose batting in Pittsburg this season was miserably weak, is improving in his work with the stick as a Giant. Donnelly started in last year batting at a .150 gait, but in the latter part of the season was batting over .400, and his average for the season was well above .300, the mark that divides the strong from the weak batters. He had two hits out of four times at bat, one a double, in Saturday’s game. Lajoie of the Phillies has been suspended for the rest of the season without pay for his bad break on the field during Friday's game. Lajoie had taken too much liquor aboard, and when he tried to play made a sorry exhibition of himself. To make mat- ters worse he used the foulest kind of lan- guage toward several of the spectators in the grand stand. Neither Billy Lush nor Horace Smith have been playing with the. Toronto team | for over a week past. Their batting has been weak, too weak in fact for an Eastern League team. In fielding they were doing very well. Eddie Burke, the Cincinnati's left fielder, has gone home with a sore foot, and Claude Ritchie takes his place. Holliday and Schriver were sent for, but the former is still too {ll to get into the game. Schriver joins the club in Baltimore today. At Columbus, Ohio, yesterday Umpire Mannassau was mobbed by the crowd at the close of the game. He escaped with a slight cut on the head. Six policemen es- corted him from the grounds. The score wi Columbus, 4; Milwaukee, 6. “Ducky” Holmes, who had until recently been playing left field for New York, has armed"’ out to Newark, where Get- tig and Zearfoss also are. Holmes created a_ sensation by his fielding in Saturday’s Newark-Paterson game. Amole, Hanlon’s new find, looks a comer all over. He is a left-hander with lots of speed and a cross-fire delivery that is hard to hit. When it comes to watching first base Amole has no equal. A base runner cout move off the bag with him in the x. The minor league magnate with star play- ers to sell is busy booming his goods and his press agent is giving him invaluable aid in marketing them. How many National League managers will walk the plank on or before October 15? Let's see. There are two National League cities in Pennsylvania—and—but why anticipate? Although Washington picked up Pitcher Bresnahan, a Toledo boy who has been playing in the Lima club, he has a brother still with the club who is a star catcher ene shculd be gathered in by some league club. Charley Reilly made his first error during Saturday’s game since his reinstatement. It was on an easy chance and was not costly. Think of Jimmy McJames getting in a triple. Hart evidently trusted to luck when he placed the ball over the plate, and the fickle goddess was with the doctor. Jimmy generally hits yery hard at the ball, but three times out of four fans the air: Mr. Wagner says he has no claim on Pitcher Dunkle, recently released by the Sunbury club to the Phillies. Dunkle had accepted Mr. Wagner's terms, but the Sun- bury club refused to let the big pitcher go, and as a result the Quaker people stepped in, and by offering better terms to the club, secured their man. Dunkle pitched a zoca game Saturday, but his support was some- thing terrible. When Second Baseman O’Brien went into Mr. Wagner's office Saturday morn- ing to get his release papers, before leaving for Providence, he asked the local magnate why he had been released. Mr. Wagner told him because he didn’t think he was playing good ball for Washington. O’Brien said he thought he was, and that he con- sidered himself as good at second base as any man in the league. Little Bresnehan displayed the right spirit after the game Friday, in which he did the twirling. He thanked McGuire very hearti- ly for his assistance, and told him he would have to take half of the $50 offered him by a friend in Lima for winning his first game. Mac demurred, but Roger says he will make Jim share with him. Some of the spectators hissed Capt. Brown for taking Swaim out of the box. Hillary was being hit hard and could not brace up. When he was relieved there were three runners on the bases and no one out. When McJames went on the ru ber it was & case of “cash your tickets Capt. Brown cannot be blamed to win the game. eres —————___ A. A. U. CHAMPIONSHIPS. Noteworthy and Largely Attended Meet at New York. The annual track and field champion- ships of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, which were held at ‘Manhattan field, New York, Saturday af- ternoon, were noteworthy in attracting the largest attendance seen at similar games since the meeting in Washington in 1890, and in bringing out contests such as have rarely been witnessed in the history of the organization. The crowd on the grounds was estimated at 7,000, while the viaduct at 155th street and Deadhead Hill, beth overlooking the grounds, were dense- ly packed with interested spectators. ‘The greatest interest very naturally cen- tered in the meeting of Wefers, the world’ champion sprinter, with Maybury and Rush of Chicago. Despite the fact that Maybury and Rush were considered capa- ble of prshing Wefers to -his utmost, the runner from Georgetown College won in record time. ° trick, N. ¥.

The recent victory of Wrenn, the Amer- ican lawn tennis champion, over Eaves, probably the strongest of the British ex- perts, at Newport, for the American cham- pionship, completed the most brilliant ten- nis seeson America has ever witnessed. Eaves, Nisbet and Mahony, the three ten- nis experts, returned to England Saturday. Mahony seemed even more~enthusiastic about American players, but Nisbet was very reticent about expressing any opin- ion. “I have made a blooming failure of my part of our trip,” said Mahony. “I have not won @ single match, and not once did I play in my best form. I hope we shall be able to get Wrenn and Larned, and perhaps two or three other American piay- ers, to come over to England next spring, for I should be very glad to see what they could do there.” FASTEST MILE IN HARNESS. Eaves, Star Pointer, the Pacer, Covers It ta 1.5 1-4. The Chicago pacing stallion, Star Pointer, owned by James A. Murphy, Saturday wiped out forever the two-minute mark and ended the controversy Which has been go- ing on for years as to the speed qualities of the light harness harse. It was witnessed by. about 8,000 persons. The achievement was all the more remark- able because Friday J6e Patchen, with Geers behind him, hgd made a shoot at the mark made by John Bi Gentry last Oc- tober, and had failéd by a second and a half, Because of tits ft was'not thought that his greatest rival) in the race line would get down beiqw the even time mark, The day was Perfect for record breaking. The first quarter’ was at an even two- minute gait, in 0.30fand@ then, as Reinsman McClary called on the biggest of the free- for-all pacers to move the second quarter, there was it cheer, for he was beating 2 minutes all to pieces, and got to the halt in 0.593-4, with the second quarter in 0.29 3-4. Could he keep it up? Yes, and better still; for the third quarter was the fastest of the mile. The distance was cov- sean ta or at a 1.57 gait. fresh strength and courage as the wire, and finished like a lion in the rec- ord-breaking time of 1:59 1-4. A mighty shout went up, for the thou- sands knew that a performance had been made in harness the lke of which was never witnessed before in the annals of the turf. Hats were off, and men yelled as if possessed. In the grand stand the owner of the horse had his hand wrung until it was nearly off. Over the fences jumped the men who knew horse and driver, or who were carried away with the enthusiasm of the moment. Hard- ly had got the horse to a stand- still before they had him on their shoul- ders, and be was borne down the stretch to the judges’ stand, and there, as the band played “Hail to the Chief,” he was intro- duced to the throng. Then followed an- other burst of applause for the horse, own- er and trainer. A fairer mile was never timed. Every Watch in the stand agreed with the time announced, while on the other side of the stretch the timekeepers caught it equally as fast or better. C. W. Marks, also of Chicago, and owner of the greatest rival of Pointer, looked at his watch earnestly, and then remarked: “If anything the mile was faster rather than slower. My watch barely got over to the fifth of the second. It was a 1:59 performance.” Star Pointer is a bay stallion; sire, Brown Hal; dam, Sweepstakes. LESNA MAKES NEW RECORDs. European Champion Defents Starbuck in a Twenty-Five-Mile Cycle Race. Lucien Lesna, te European long distance champicn of '9, defeated J. Frank Star- buck ef Philadelphia by one and a half laps in a twenty-five-mile match race at Charles River Park, Boston, Saturday afternoon, making the distance In 47 min- utes 52 secords. He also se>ured the American paced com- petitive records from three to twenty-five miles, inclusive, lowering the majority of records created by his old-time rival “Jimmy"’ Michael, at Manhattan Beach the previous week. It w fine contest, both men showing good form, and the pace- makers did hful work. The fastest mile was the second, which was ridden in 1 minute 463-5 seconds. BARN STORMING BALL PLAYERS. The Baltimore and American Teams to Travel Together, The make-up of the All-America base ball team, which is to make a trip through the south and west with the Baltimores, has been determined.

New Rules of Pacific States Associa- tion—Fistic Events Scheduled. SAN FRANCISCO, August 30.—The Ama- teur Athletic Association of the Pacific States, recently organized, with the Clym- pic, Acme and Fresno clubs as charter members, has adopted a constitution rais- ing the standard and defining very strictly who are amateurs. . At present all athictic organizations are equally represented in the association. The new constitution substitutes a different basis of representation by compelling clubs devoted to a special branch of athletics to form subassociations, to enter the main as- sociation on an equal footing with univer- sities or general athletic clubs. Boxing and wrestling clubs are excluded from the asso- ciation on the ground that to enforce strict amateur rules in such clubs is practically impossible. Owen Ziegler, the Philadelphia light- weight, has arrived here with his trainer, Zeke Abrahams. He is to box twenty rounds with Ed Connelley of New Bruns- wick before the Knickerbocker Club in September. The Occidental Club has se- cured the Solly Smith-George Dixon con- test.

SEES DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL. y and Efforts in W: mton « to Win Back Goldites, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HAGERSTOWN, August 28, 187. The hotel corridors, the city hall and y. Md. street corners were alive today with groups of 1- of politicians discussing the outcome the Ocean City convention. The anti-W lington men were in high gl) and St Senator Scott and his delegation were loudly praised for the part played in the conveation. The Cook-Wellington faction seemed to take the discomfiture of the sen- ator good-naturedly. In fact, the majority of those composing this faction ha no particular love for the “boss,” as was man- ifestéd today in more than one way. They had been simply admirers of Cook, and fol- lowed blindly his leadership. The fight previous and up to the close of the republican primaries and county con- vention inspired the Gemocrats with the hope of redeeming the county, and they have grown bold in their claims. That they wiil make a stubborn fight in this direction is not questioned. They have already set to work to reclaim the sound money men. To do this, a type-written circular, signed by the five members of the democratic state central committee, has been mailed to each individual gold man, so far as known, asking co-operation. “There are several reasons why you should interest yourself in this matter,” reads the circular. “First of all, you are a citizen, interested in good government. The many abuses of the republican party, boty state and national, loudly call for a rebuke at your hands.” The circular also announces that head- quarters will shortly be opened in Hagers- town, where the recipient and his friends are invited te call, and where they “will be gladly received. The effect of this move is not as yet ap- parent, but it is likely to fail of its pur-
