The game played Saturday at National Park between the Louisville and Washing- ton clubs resulted in a tie—7 to 7—after playing ten innirgs. From beginning to end the contest wus full of interest, sen- sational plays predominating and batting heavy enough to inspire a majority of the spectators with the belief that each pitch- r would hardly last out the inning. Then the twirlers would take a brace, and as a result the runners would be anchored on the bases. Washington had nine and Louisville seven men left on bases, which tells how effective both pitchers were in tight places. McJames did the ritching for the Sena- ters, and gave a poor exhibition outside of being able to keep the hits scattered. Wild- ness was his fatal weakness, as he sent four men to first on balls and hit «mother. Little Cunningham was on the rubber for the Louisvilles, and, although he was Fit bard, he was lucky in getting out of tight places through remarkable fi of the men behind him. Dolan : aptured a ball from Farrell’s bat about a foot trom the ground that should have gone safe, but which stuck to the glove and made a sen- sational out. ee in right tieid lost one ball by an ugly bound, but he redeemed himself by catching a hard fly from Sel- bach’s bat and throwing McJames out at first, a pretty double play. Wrigley at ort and DeMont at second took care of erything that came their way, the former having twelve chances and missing but ene, while the latter had ten and cuptured them all. i Tommy Tucker had one of his good days, accepting fifteen chances at first. without an error and hit tne bali for a double, a triple and a home run, a record to be proud of. Both clubs played dumb ball at times on the bases, DeMont trying to steal on a wild throw stopped by Werden, and Werden suffering from a pretty throw of Brown's that nailed him at second when he could have had the bag stolen easily if he had waited for the catch half way to sec- ond.

Rilly Kerle was cut at the park Saturday, and is in the city after a position on Pre: ident Young's staff of umpires. It doesn’t speak much for the education of the play- ers in the big league en a player—of Earle's ability is frozen out of the game simply on account of a foolish superstition that he is a hoodoo. Earle is above the average in the matter of intelligence and should make a good arbitrator. A trade that wiil benefit both clubs is said to have been arranged between the Fhiladelphia and Cleveland clubs whereby Delehanty ond Cross are to be exchanged for McKean and O'Connor. The players will do better than ever under new man- agement.

Washington and other cities don’t ‘know how well off they are in the matter of twenty-five-cent admissions. In New York only a limited number of twenty-tive-eent admissions are sold. A very small part of the big seating capacity, a little corner quite a long ways from the home plate, is all that is used for the pooular-priced fol- lowers of the game. If you are not at the gate carly on big days you will have to pay thirty-five cents for the privilege. Such was the case at the double-header recently. Speculators got out early and purchased the entire twenty-five-cent seating capacity. Then they stood at or near the gates and sold them to patrons of the games at an advance of ten cents per ticket. so that there were few if any quarter people at the same. J. Earle Wagner is of the opinion that there will be more changes in league clubs next season than for many a year, and bases the prediction upon the peculiarity of this year’s race. The fight for top hon- ors has been open to really only two clubs, and two others have been in the scrap for second place. The second division battle has been close enough, but Pittsburg and Philadelphia, towns that insist upon being represented by first division teams, could not enthuse over it. Cincinnati’ present lump makes changes in its outfield and pitching departments at least not only possible, but probable. Baltimore may be persuaded to part with a star or two. ‘That man- tip was the only tonic Stenzel Chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Brook- lyn are almost certain to present new teams. Wagner's intention to introduce a brand-new outfit to the Washington fans is well-known, and his opinion of the pla of the other magnates is plausible-—Ex- change. SHOOTING ON THE PATUXENT. Well-Known Washingtonians After Ortolan and Reedies. The ortolan and reed bird shooting on the Patuxent river opened this morning, and by sunrise the marshes for six or seven miles were populated with gunners. Many Washingtonians are among them. Old Veteran William Wagner .and two friends went down yesterday, and so did Arthur Mattingly, George Aukam, Luther Fristoe, Henry Metcalf, W. W. Boarman, Albert Davidson and a number of other well-known shots. There is a big crowd froin Baltimore and a steam yacht load from Philadelphia. Many of the visitors fcund it impossible to secure boats aha rshers, the demand being so great, and will be compelled to wait a day or two if they wish to shoot in the approved style. Ortolan were never as plentiful on the Patuxent, and reed birds are more numerous and in better condition than ever known before. Mr. Richard Johnson and Mr. James W. Green, who have been shoot- ing on the Rappahannock, are expected on the Patuxent today in Mr. Johnson's steam yacht, “The Nereid. TO PLAY CATONSV LE.

Ar athletic club lately organized at Riv- erdale, Md.. bids fair to take the iead in athletic sports. The club was organized August 17 by Mr. Wm. 8. McKean, jr., at his residence on Jackson avenue, with the following charter members: Messrs. Mc- Kean, McDevitt, Earl, Flannery, Raybold, Mangum, Eromley, Peyton and G. S, and W. E.

TENNIS AT HYATTSVILLE. Result of the Playing Dering Last ‘Week. “ The first preliminary round of the tennis tournament at Hyattsville between the rep- resentatives of that town, Riverdale and Etersville, was concluded Friday afternoon, The scere is as follows: mS N. W. Dorsey defeated Charles Mangum, 6-3, 2-6, 6—2; Lucien Peyton defeated C. G. Conner, 6—2, 6-0; H. W. Dorsey defeat- ed Terry, 7—5, 6—0; Frank Latimer defeated P. E.

Fuller and Leakin. 2-6, 6—4, match un- finished, but will be played off this after- noon. 2 3 ‘The drawirg for the next round resulted as follows: H. W. Dorsey and R. Kleiner; * other world's record. He competed in the eighty-yard run, and‘in the rst heat in the semi-finals ran close to Wendell Baker's recoré of eight seconds. One watch got eight second fiat. Another got 81-5. The third watch got between 8 and 81-5 sec- onds, and it was thought best to let the time go as 81-5 seconds. This establishes a record for the distance in competition. As the track was heavy, everybody is satisfied that Wefers can equal, if not break, the record. International Golf Trophy. The international golf trophy was won at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., Saturday by G. T. Brown of London, Ont., a new Cana- dian player, who defeated J. C. Powers of Rochester in the finals.

Marie, Mich., last Saturday, says: s Hundreds of people here and in the Ca- nudian “Soo” are cn the tiptoe of expec- taney pending the «arrival of the North Shore steamer Telegram, which is expected here tomorrow afternoon. Owing to the de- mand for passage en the boat, a special trip is to be made tomorrow night, and every berth hes been taken. A party of twenty from this-city and one of equal number from across the river, including six experts from, lcwer Canada, who ar- 2, rived last night, will take passage on this boat. If the reports received tomorrow are as favuraile as those which came on Thurs- day's steamer, there will be an exodus of three hundred people from these two towns within a week, and the whole here is'wildly excited. The Cana dng laws are of stch a varied cha acter t much misapprehension has arisen as to how to proceed. The Ontario smining law, covering this particular district, provides, in brief, that when minerals are found, the discoverer can stake out the land, not less than forty acres in extent, and fi his claim. His stakes must all be marked and numbered, and at each corner must bear the discoverer’s name and date of finding. He must send this information, attested by two witnesses, to Torcnto, and request a grant. The crown surveyor is then sent to the claim, and makes a survey, for which the applicant pays, and the survevor's map and field notes go to the crewn. land office. Claimants are allowed sixty, days to file applications, with surveys and affidavits, and pay about $4 an acre for the land. This gives them the timber on the land and whatever mincrals may be found. Capt. ithere of Company F, 19th United States Infantry, is the owner of a half claim on the Garden river, in the new district. He says that in his claim there are at least a dozen leads, each eight inches wide and fifteen feet deep. Some of the quartz which Capt, Witherell brought from his ciaim has just been assayed, aud found to yield about $50 to the ton. This quartz is almost pure white rock, touched with a dark purple deposit: Another specimen taken from a deeper point in-the mine is darker in colog;and the entire surface is dotted with chunks off.pure gold. A piece of this quartz was assayed by the Bank of England for Cagt. Wigkerell, and a report States that it.dears sqventy-seven ounces {and five pennyweightm sterling, or about $1,500 to the toni, As itaaays to mine quartz where gold to she valu of $3 to the ton is found, the rickness of: this discovery is easily seen. ‘Capt. Witherel! scid,teday: “The quartz in our claim wél average $70 a ton, iaking it just as it edmes. Some of it is much richer. I am safisfied that there is a fabu- lous aoe o! et the otter: up there.

In St. Louis such a canvass has been made every year since 1891. The first two were made in the month of May, as first proposed here. Since then they have been made in the month of October. The iritial visitation in St. Louis is de- scribed in a pamphlet, entitled “‘House-to- House Visitation, as Conceived and Adopt- ed by the St. Louis Sunday School Un‘on,’” which was distributed at the international day school convention there in IS. ‘The city was carefully divided, the ‘ ‘ircular states, into eight. ne districts, and a con- secrated and responsible chairman secured for each. In the majority of instances the, chairmen were supérintendents of the principal Sunday schools in the several districts. These chairmen secured the is- sistance and hearty co-operation of the various workers in their several districts. ‘The pastors presented the subject and {ts importance from tke several pulpits in the city, and on Thur 10, 1891, at was agreed that evet > in St. Louis should be visi that cvery individual should be inv: » Lord's nous a religious census of the city s partial canvass was subsequently made.

The prime mover here is Jerome F, Johnson, secretary and field worker of the Sunday School Union of the Dis- trict of Columbia. The following stitement of the need end nature of the proposed work, taken from an address by Mr. Johnson, will be of in- terest: " “Unquestionably the field of Christian work just now most prominently before cur district Sunday School Union, and which is most urgently demanded, is that of house-to-house visitation, or a house- toshouse canvas: During the last three years this subject has received much ut- tention alike from national, state and city Sunday school associations.

The work of a house-ic- house canvass is ordinarily carried out un- der the auspices of the Sunday School As- sociation, as being more directly in line with their work, being strictly interdenom- inational in character and an organization already in the field. pe of the Inquiry. “In simplest words, it may be defined 2s an effort to obtain the exact information of the church relations or church prefer- ences of all citizens; to extend a cordial invitatior® to every man, woman and child to attend some church and Sunday school; to make’‘a record of the name, street and number of persons in the family over twenty-one years of age, the number be- tween six and twenty-one and number un- der six. Also, of these different ages. the number who are and the number who are not church members, and the number who are and who are not in Sunday schools. Also the number of Bibles in the what church or churches they attend, ana, if not regular attendants of any church, the church or denomination of their pref- erence is noted. “It is the custom to make such a record of each visit and of the informati gained to enable the pastors and churi and Sunday school officers to :tell follow up the work done by further c and invitations. You see, the woi not been finished by any means when this information has been gathered. 1+ ha: been begun. It is to be carefully assorted, compiled and put m proper shape for the, use of the churches. Utilizing the Information. “TJ emphasize that word use. It ts of the utmos: importance that this mass of infor- mation put in the pessession of the church- es be utilized just as fast as possible, and that pastors and church committees 50 realize it, It furnishes a great and com- paratively new field for church activities. Where persons express a preference for any particular church, and a3 not sar 5 hat church, tne cards are turne ae ae as pastor of that church. Where they express no church preference, the data is given to the nearest pastor. “At our annual Sunday school convention held in November last the date fixed upon for this canvass was May 15, but, after tak- ing into account tne amount of work and organization necessary, and the further fact that summer would be upon us before all the essential matter could be put in the possession of the churches and made ready for the vital work to follow, it was decided by the executive committee of the union to change the date to Saturday, Oc- tober 16 next. The judgment of many pastors was sought before the change was made and correspondence was had with some who could give intelligent advice, from experience, as to the best season of the year in which to make the canvass and follow up the work. Experience in Indiana. “Here is what the general secretary for Indiana, where they had an increased en- 1ollment in the Sunday school in three years, from 1893 to 1896, of 67,000, and where, in 1896, one new Sunday school was added on the average each day in the year, has to say on the~matter: “I have come to the conclusion, through observation and experience, that’ the fall of the year, say about the Ist of October, is much the best time to make the can- vass. Such a canvass is not worth doing, if the information gathered is not very soon thereafter utilized. In other words, if it is not followed up by such visitation as can be done by the pastor and Sunday school workers, the results are not near what they should be. When the canvass is taken in the spring, it is very near the ume when religious zeal begins to flag. Sunday schools generally run down in at- tendance during the warm weather, and teachers and pastors go off on their sum- mer vacations, and it seems hardly possible to follow up a canvass at that time of the Year. so as’to get the best results from it. If, however, it is done early in October, there are six months immediately follow- ing in which the most aggressive church work is generally done. For that reason I advocate that the work be done in the fall rather than in the spring.” ‘Tweaty Per Cent Enrolled. behind per cent about 10 per cent, or approxi- mately 25,000, are of school age. It is. to find out not only who and where the 25,000 ure, but likewise the more than are wholly outside Sunday to see whether we are gaining or losing, and at what rate. “This is one of the most vital questions ignaied. Mana Meeting in View. “It is the plan to have one large mass meeting about three weeks before the can- vass*to be addressed by a prominent Sun- Gay school worker, who has had experience in this line. It will be of the highest im- porterce that each canvasser be thorough- ly saturated with the sense of the re- Sponsibility resting upon him and the im- portance of the work. They should be per- suns who possess tact and consecration, who can sacrifice a day from business or home and feel the richer for it at night. “It will call into requisition from 1.200 to 1,50 workers of different denominatio and they wiil, as far as possible, be sent out as the Master sent His disciples—two and two. order that there shall not be a hint of denominationalism, from first to last. or that the canvass is made in. th interest of ary sect, race or religion, these requested to lay off ats and not put them cany complet coats” if you ple on again until or to wear “cdnva: “We have in the District of Colum! every incentive, as well as ¢ tion, favoring such a canvas the remains to be seen whethe se attending such an annual cany will be ater than can be afforded our District union. —_>—___ NOW ENROLLING PUP! - and Winter Season.
