Jones & Burr, 513 gth St. set-16d —S——— ————— HAMBURG THE BEST. He Settled All Arguments as to the Two-Year-Olds Yesterday. Hamburg settled all questions of super- jority yesterday, so far as the two-year- olds of 1897 are concerned. There is no chance for argument hereafter. He beat about the best that could be gathered up, and in such a decisive manner that his previous defeats must have been caused through mistakes, excepting when Re- quital tied him up at seven furlongs. The Tace yesterday occurred at Sheepshead Bay in the presence of 10,000 persons. Mr. Madden decided that to try to place the colt in a race was a mistake, and his orders were to go to the front and stay there. This Taral did, and he tip-toed Tis opponents so decisively that they were all up in the air before they had gone half a mile,while Hamburg was hardly warmed up It was a great victory and the crowd cheered lustily to think that America pos- sessed such a grand thoroughbred. Ornament’s victcry in the Twin City handicap also stamps him as the champion three-year-old. He was pushed out a mile and a@ quarter in 2.052-3, which is very close to Salvator’s record. ‘Taral did not have to let him down until the last quar- ter, and then he made the Flying Dutch- man stop as though shot ———.__ A TREE GROWING UPSIDE Down. It Bears Fruit With Its Roots in the Air and Its Limbs in the Ground. Frem Meeban’s Monthly. John Meiner’s distillery, in Milwaukee, has not been in operation for nine years. It is an old landmark and the grounds about it are covered with grand old trees and rustic benches and form a little by- ‘Way nook, whose existence one would not Suspect from the road outside the fence at the south. = But the object of greatest interest in this ‘unique place is an old apple tree that was planted twenty-eight years ago, with its limbs in the ground and its roots in the air, and which lives to bear frult and sprout branches where roots should be and roots where twigs and leaves should be—a curi- osity to all beholders. Mr. Meiner was induced to make the trial through an old German legend, in which such an inverted tree played a prom- inent part. When Mr. Meiner planted his twenty- five apple trees they showed no signs ‘of life for a long time. Finally the one still remaining showed a leaf, softened by sum- mer rains and expanded by the sun, and with a great deal of care it was nursed y life. It grew very slowly and wn more than two feet in height s planted. It is now about four - with a trunk fifteen inches in diameter. The roots had a tendency to nd it was found necessary to prop with a trellis. Instead of growing lly they have extended horizontally slender arms. There are about se, radiating in all directions. as they grow longer, additional put underneath and they have ed along the-trellis flat, straight. as @ ceiling, with little slender shoots running at right angles and interwining with one another so closely that they afford some protection from the rain to one who may stand underneath. The top ts circular in form and about fifty feet in diameter. The tree has borne fruit for about twenty years and is now covered with Iittle green apples. The fruit is of good quality, but the variety is not’ known by Mrs. Adolph Meyer, daughter of Mr. Meiner, who now Occupies the old homestead with her hus- band and family. ——+o+—___ A Just Complaint.

The skeptical ones should have been at National Park yesterday after- noon and witnessed the double-header be- tween the Louisville and Washington clubs, and incidentally took a survey of the spec- tators present. It being ladies’ day, through the keen foresight of Mr. Wagner and tke courtesy of President Pulliam of the Louisville club, fully 3,000 of the ‘fair sex were present, and, in addition, over 8,000 dyed-in-the-wool base ball enthusiasts of the sterner sex cheered, yelled and crit- icised each play with an earnestness that taade them hot, but evidently added to their enjoyment. When it is considered that fully 4,000 of the spectators sat in the burning sun during the four hours and more of play, and suffered through the dis- comforts of being packed togethr like sar- dines, the hold the national game has on the public can be more fully appreciated. As early as 1 o'clock a long line of pecple were outside the gates, waiting for the ticket booths to open, and from 1:30 until after the second game had been started there was almost a continuous stream of anxious spectators filing into the grounds. Nothing whatever occurred to mar the pleasure of the afternoon. The home club won both games from the Colonels, and the fact that the Senators looked like winners at every stage of the contests kept the perspiring multitude in a good humor, and made them laugh at many discomforts. The gate keepers told The Star reporter that of the 11,000 spectators present not 500 left the grounds before the final game was concluded. It was getting dark at the park when Umpire Emslie called the game, after the Colonels had had their seventh turn at the bat. The first game went to the credit of the Senators by the score of 7 to 5, and the second by the score of 7 to 3. Mercer and Hill were the opposing pitch- ers for the first game, and the local man outpitched the golden-haired boy almost two to one. It was a great battle from start to finish, and neither club when it had the lead had such a margin that it could net be overcome by a little contin- uous batting. Mercer remarked after the game that it was one of the hardest games he ever pitched, a fact very evident to the onlookers, his record of nine strike-outs being within one of the record, substan- tiating the asserticn that the black- haired boy was doing his finest. Now and then one of the visitors would connect with one of Winnie's slows, and away it would sail io the extreme limit of the park, Clarke getting a home run and Wagner a triple. But these batting exploits were few and far between, as in the third inning three of the visiting batsmen in rotation hit nothing but wind, after each having three tries at the ball Hill—“Still Bill,” they call him—has been doing excellent work in the last half-dozen games, but yesterday was not his day to shine, and as a result the Senators cop- pered him for fourteen hits, a home run, a triple and a couple of doubles being freely sprinkled among the singles. Brilliant Playing. Outside of Mercer's pitching, the playing of McGuire, Selbach, Wrigley and De Mont in the field was extremely brilliant, while at the bat Reilly was very much in evi- dence, and little De Mont managed to plunk the “hat and necktie” sign twice during the afternoon. Selbach didn't get his batting eye going until the second game, but it made amends for its late ar- rival by allowing the little German a double, a triple and a home run. And en the bases! How Sel did get around the Ines. Second base is hard to steal, but when a runner pilfers third twice during a game he certainly must be some pump- kins of a sprinter. One time Selbach stole third so clean that the catcher refused to throw the ball. The Senators did not get a run over the plate in the first three innings of the first game, but in Louisville's third try they collared one. Fred Clarke sent the bail clear to the center field fence for a home run. In the fourth inning the Senators made three, but the Louisvilles came back at them in a hurry and took them away in the same inning, making the score 4 to 3 in their favor.’ In the fifth inning the Colonels scored their fifth and last run, sending them in the lead by two runs. Then the Senators began to climb, and Kept it up until they finally won out. In the sixth, after Tucker had been hit by the pitcher, Reilly sent him to third by a double into center, but Tom perished at the plate on Dolan’s throw of Gettman's drive. Reilly went to third on the play, and then home on Wrigley'’s single into right. In the seventh another run came the Senators’ way, tying the score, Reilly being the lucky man. Charley hit into left for two bases, went to third on Gettman’s out, and again crossed the plate on Wrig- ley’s second single into right. In the eighth Tucker hit to right for three bases, and came home on an out. In the ninth De Mont soaked one into left for three bases and came home,on McGuire's fly out to: left. FIRST GAME.

Roger Bresnehan and “Chick” Frazer were placed on the rubber by the contend- ing captains, and, as in the first game, the local man outtwirled the visiting pitcher in great style. Roger started off rather badly in the first inning, bad fielding handicap- ping him somewhat, but he held the Colo- nels down to one run in that inning and got out of a big hole. Frazer pitched with- out any life, was sluggish in his move- ments and continually nagged the play- ers back of him for not getting runners on hits that were evidently safe. Fred Clarke was the first man up in the second game and catching one of han’s curves on the end of his bat dreve it into deep right for three bases. Wagner's single brought him home. The Senators got this run back and tied the score dur- ing their first turn at the bat, Selbach send- ing the ball into the bleachers at the ex- tremity of that inclosure. Louisville failed to score in the second, but the home club Louissille, 1. Two- McGu@e to Reilly picked up two tallies. After Reilly had hit into left for two bases and been retired at third trying to stretch it into a triple, a curious play, as Charley ran into the ball and knocked it into the third baseman’s hands, Wrigley hit into rignt for a single and went to second on ‘a passed ball. Bresnehan walked, and both runners scored on Selbach’s hard drive for two bases. Another goose egg went up for the Colo- nels in the third, but the Senators added one more run to their score. DeMont earned his second hat and tie by hitting the sign in left field, going to third on an out and crossing the plate on Reilly’s out at first. In the fourth the visitors made things interesting by scoring two runs, on scratch infield hits by Dexter and Cling- man, both men coming home on Frazer's double. . Neither side scored in the fifth, but in the sixth, after the Colonels had been blanked, the Senators cinched the game by scoring three runs. Wrigley singled to left and Selbach’s triple drove him home. A passed ball sent Sel home. Leahy then singled, but was forced at second by DeMont, the latter stealing second and coming home on McGuire’s single. The Colonels failed to Score in the seventh, and Umpire Emslie, after a hard and good day’s work, called the game on account of darkness. SECOND GAME. # WASHINGTON. RH.

Owing to the poor start made by the local club this year and the poor work done under Mr. Schmelz’s management the real- ly excellent work of the team since it has been under Capt. Tom Brown’s control has not been fully’ appreciated. Since Mr. Schmelz was retired, June the Washing- tons have won thirty-nine games and lost thirty-six, giving them the percentage of 520. This would put them in fifth place. During this time the club has taken a trip to Baltimore, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Boston and throughout the west- Thirty of the seventy-five games were play- ed out of town. When Mr. Schmelz was deposed the club was in eleventh place. it Lad won nine and lost twenty-five games. its work was much worse than in the previous season under Joyce. On June 7, 1896, with Joyce as captain, the team had won twenty games, lost nineteen, and its percentage was .513, It occupied sixth place. The Washingtons are in eighth place now, with a percentage of .440. Last year at this time they were in tenth place, with a percentage of .411. The fact that the present team has ob- tained a percentage of 20 while under Brown's direction, and 3 while under Joyce's control, shows that the team is a strong one and capable of good work if well handled. The infield is playing best of any local in- field, and if those who have temporarily fallen off in bafting regain their ability the team should finish the season higher than any local team has ever done. It is now higher than a local team has ever been on September 7. Base Ball Notes. Louisville will get its last chance at Washington today, the game being called at 4:15. McJames will pitch for the Sena- tors and “Dad” Clarke, lately of New York, will do the twirling for the Colonels. To- day is a regular “Ladies’ day.” Mr. Earle Wagner remarked yesterday that there was more money taken in at Na- tional Park as a result of the double-head- er, ladies’ day and a legal holiday. than had been banked since he and his brother have had charge of the Washington club. - Don’t blame Tom Brown when an un- successful play is made by the players, either in the field and on the bases. Yes- terday Wrigley tried to go home on an out at first and wap nailed at the plate. As Brown was onthe coaching line at third many of the speetgtors blamed him for bad coaching whep, in fact, he had tried to stop Zeke, but .without avail. DeMont had.an easy day of it at second yesterday, only fiye chances in the two games, but he got,them all. The little fel- low made an efropthe first time he started to play second regularly, but since that time he has yot, lipped up once, although he has had negrlyja hundred chances, Catchers may,come and catchers may gO, but Jim McGuire 4s destined to go on for- ever and be asp in the front rank at all times, Yesterday Charley Farrell hurt his side in the first insing of the second game and McGuirejwent into harness just as easy as usual, and, ef course, played “out of sight.” Whe-ever saw Mac drop a high foul? oa = Mercer sald the view from the pitcher's box was sofnething extraordinary, the bright colors‘éf the Sand hats of the ladies, with: the background ‘and frame of the dark-hued clothes of the men, eS @ pretty picture, full of life and an- imation. And when the crowd cheered and yelled, Mercer said it reminded him of Niagara Falls. * Pitcher Gettig and Catcher Zearfoss, who have been playing with Newark the greater part of the season, rejoin the New Yorks today and will help the Giants out for the remainder of the season. The New Yorks play eight games this week, too big a strain for the regular pitching and catching corps. # = Nearly 16,000 people witnessed the morn- ing league - games: yesterday and in the afternoon nearly 60,000. Washington had the largest afternoon crowd of any in the league, but Boston had the largest total on the day—over 19,000, ‘The total attendance for the day in the six league cities was over 15,000, against 68,000 last year. ried see S waren secur me weeks ago from the Association, has been sent to the Reading (Pa.) team of the Atlantic League to fin- ish the season. “We are going to play our best against you, but we hope you will beat.out the Baltimores,” said Bug Holliday te Captain Duffy before the games this afternoon. “Every bell player in the league ought to be glad to see that gang of swellheads beaten out,” was Captain Duffy’s reply. “Why, some of the members of that team would not ‘speak to any of our players. They were running around looking for a chance to spike some one and put him out of the business. If we win it on our mer- its, well and good. That is the only way we want it. I don’t want any of my men to spike and cut down other players to get the flag. If the Baltimores have to play that kind of ball to float the pennant they are welcome to I[t.”—Boston Globe. This musing is from an exchange: It lIcoks like Baltimore again, but it has not been so long since it looked even more strongly like Boston, so the choice still lies with Boston. Judging from the living standard, the pennant will not be won this year until the last game is played. When that comes let us hope the team in front will be the Bostons. The Giants are still pulling steadily against the tide, and none of the othér ieaders dare let go to moisten their hands. or the Joyce gang will slide up enother hole. .The Reds have gone their’ usual route at this season. In that re- spect it is the most consistent club in the league. Every year it rouses the people of Cincinnati to the highest pitch, and ae in the death struggle, it runs up the whi! flag and bumps along to a resting place marked ont by its great playing of the first half of the season, and the poor work of some others in the same time. There it rests. Rest in peace. Poor old yellow ed. Spaltanty made a spectacle of himself in the eighth inning of the first game. Dowd had made three attempts to go down to second and every time Del had hit at the ball, the last time going out on a pop foul to Zimmer. Had he allowed Dowd to reach second he would have scored with Dunkle on Lajoie’s single.—Pniladelphia Times. They evidently haven't yet heard of the hit-and-run game in Philadelphia. Manager Hanlon of Baltimore says there is no truth whatever in the report that he has bought Carey and Garvin. Abbaticchio, the Phillies’ new second baseman, broke a bone in his right hand in the last inning of the second game with Cleveland yesterday afternoon and will not be able to play any more this season. He was sliding into the home plate when he collided with Zimmer. Umpire Kelly received an ovation when he first appeared on the field in Philadel- phia yesterday, something that is rarely accorded a man in his position these days. Manager Stallings of Philadelphia has lately in morning practices been playing Lajoie at short step and Cooley at first base, with such success that these players will occupy those positions permanently next year. LOCAL © ETERS’ TRIP. A Close Match With the Catonsville Country Club. The Catonsville Country Club cricket team of Baltimore county, Md., defeated the Washington cricket eleven of this city in a two-inning game at the Country Club's grounds at Catonsville yesterday by the score of 149 to 131. Owing to the short notice given of the proposed match, the Washington club was not able to take along a full eleven, be- ing three men short. The score in detail follows: Washington—First Innings.

Interesting Cycling Races at the Athletic Park. The bicycle races yesterday afternoon at the International Athletic Park were of first-class order. A crowd of close on to 1,500 persons saw, the sport, the grand stand being almost crowded. The weather was perfect for the racing, though the track was in none of the best of condition. It was not heavy, but owing to a lack of rain, was quite dusty, and afforded poor riding in the back stretch. ‘There were several surprises, which were fully appreciated by the audience. A. C. Moran, the speedy rider of the Washington Road Club, managed to win the amateur race of the day, the mile open, while Schade could do no better than finisti fourth. Fred Sims rode in splendid form, and managed to easily win the two pro- s€esional events on the program. Balti- more captured the first and second places in the final of the two-mile handicap, ama- teur, while the best Schade could do was the winning of the two-mile tandem, with Nelms, the Petersburg boy, behind him. ‘The club team race for the championship of the District was in the nature of a sur- prise. The Washington Road Club or the Arlington Wheelmen were looked upon as sure winners of the event, but, strange to say, both clubs were defeated by the nar- row margin of one point each in the trials. The Eastern Athletic Club team ni club managed to work a great one other riders. When on the third managed to about half a dozen lengths before the others could get in to follow him. He held his lead un- club did not win the championship, it is hardly likely that the matter will be de- cided. Poor condition of the track but no cne was badly injured. ‘The mile open, amateur, was the race of the day. In the first heat the rijing was good, and Wilson won by a sprint, with George Smith immediately behind him. In the second heat, which was won by Nelms, Von Boeckman managed to beat Rhine out at the tape for third place. In the third heat Matchett won by a splendid sprint, with Pittman a good second and Norris of Baltimore a close third. The final heat was a regular procession around the track, though the finish was of the hair- raising order. Schade was the favorite. Wilson managed to steal four or five yards on the bunch on the last lap at the end cf the back stretch, and the other riders humped after him. Schade was next to him, Smith third and Morgan fourth. On the home stretch it was a battle royal. The lead was cut down and positions changed quickly. Moran fully demon- strated his sprinting ability, and won by at least half a foot from George Smith, who finished second. Schade and Wilson were nearly tie for fourth place, and the judges decided that Wilson was a few inches in the lead. The entire four men were se close that a blanket could cover all. The Results.
