If we win we go back into the first division. Pitcher Dunkle pitched for the Phillies yesterday and held “the-Orioles down to five hits. This is the man Umpire -Kelley recommended to Mr, Wagner, but before he could be secured, the Quaker manager stepped in and gobbled the big fellow. This is the luck of base ball, Dunkle had ver pitched in one of the big minor leagues, but yesterday's game emphat cally demonstrates that this is no criterion j to go on.

Being outtielde und outbatted never enters into the games over there. Yesterday the birds were clear- ly outplayed in the second game, yet Um- pire Carpenter is blamed for the defeat. ! Carpenter also officiated in the first game, but nothing is said about his work. It 1s generally the case that an umpire is good in Baltimore only when he favors the home club. The Brooklyns are in exactly the same class with the Senators, as regards to play- ing at home. Nothing is too hard for them when they are surrounded by jolliers, but the hard, grinding yells and taunts hurled at them While away from home appear to sap all their energy. It is for this reason alone that Captain Brown and Mr. Wagner are looking for new players for next sea- son. Jake Gettman failed to get a hit yester- day, but don’t lose sight of the fact that “Duke” Farrell slammed out two doubles. Charley has come back to right-hand bat- ting, and, from his recent work with the stick, the move appears to be a good one. ittle De Mont had only two errors at me in 100 chances, but he seems to be ring them off right regularly at Brook- yn. Base ball must be getting pretty exclu- sive in Cleveland. “Attendance, 400,” is a line that must send cold shivers into the heart of the treasurer.

When the Baltimore cranks and writers take to criticising the team for its unde- sirable tactics there is po time for out siders to doubt that the champs are “play- ing ball to win.” “What did Dugan do to him?” is a ques- ‘ion that has been answered in song. Still, if Dugan had ever played batl in Baltimore. another verse would be needed to tell what McGraw did to Dugan.—Cincinnati Post. Tebeau has the most remarkable record on first ever made by a league first base- man, his percentage being .998. McPheo of Cincinnati leads the second basemen by many points; Clingman is well ahead of the third basemen; Jennings leads the shortstops by a fraction, Ely and Corcoran being next, one point separating them; Al- len and Schoch next, a tie, and five points behind Jennings, while Dahlen and Mc- Kean are well up.—Baltimore News. Manager Barnie announces thatwa change is being made in the route of the Balti- more and All-America teams, that will tour the country after the season is over. It is now proposed to open at Weehawken on Sunday, October 10, and then proceed by way of Philadelphia, Washington, Pilts- burg, Cincinnati, Chie: St. Louis and Kansas City, through Texas, to San Fran- cisco. There are several base ball parks in the latter city at the disposal of the teams, according to Barnie, but a new one ts be- ing built for their use.

He did it against all odds, and he did it fairly. Dun-- kle, a young man from the coal mines of Pennsylvania, after rubbing the soot “off his face, walked ge on the champions. To him should go the cretiit."’ Backed by a team thinking. itself foredoomed, he with-. stood all sorts of drawbacks, and he won at that. There is nothing to deny this fact.. Yes, the champions played to win all.the time, and they didn’t go to sleep. They cut out of their repertoire some of the fine points % their batting \game, but that wasn’t Mr. Dunkle’s fault, and was be- sides, as Ted Sulliyan would tritely say, “One of the fortunes of war.’ There were lots of things the! Birds could have done, and won out from Stallings’ young phenom, but they didn’t do it, which is not the fault of Mr. Dunkle. A Correspondent’s Criticism. Thomas H. Johnson has written as fol- lows to The Star in regard to the lead of trick four in the hand playéd at the New York’ Club ‘as explained in last Saturday’s Star: “Befcre I give my opinion as to the proper lead of south I will.say that Whist’s Clup | lead fis inexcusable: knowing that he can call out two trumps from his adversaries and nore from his partner, he should have led trump once more. Charley Watson's head is level, the seven of diamonds is the proper Icad; it is well to be quick of mind in whist, but we have to be equally care- ful not to see any more in a lead than there is in it. For instance, when The Star critic—and he is a very able one—says tha: north in returning wests trump-lead with- cut showing his own suit first: ‘Help me get these trumps out and I will be ‘re- sponsible fo: the rest.’ My opinion is that he sees more in this lead than there ‘s in it. Strong suits or weak suits or no suit at all. North has no other lead, having the command of trumps, and it is just as likely as not that he will look to his part- ner for assistance in the plain suits, when he has cleared the trumps away; perhaps he had no card at all that could bring him. in egain; no suit to show. Mr. Watson's Jead from his strong suit is the only com= mendable one, according to sound wh play. The other lead and explanation is” ‘longe petitum’ and too risky. Capital Git, Term Won.

CLASS GAMES AT GEORGETOWN ONLY Prospects at the Other Collegiate Institutions, WORK OF YALE PLAYERS Se The local foot ball season is somewhat backward. The Columbia Athletic Club is the only organization that Has made any atéempt so far toward forming a team. It has taken the initiative, and last Friday evening Louis Korn, who will act as man- ager the present term, called a preliminary meeting. There were fifteen candidates, and, with one or two exceptions, they are all ol4 men. Granville Lewis is a promis- ing new candidate for full back. Out of this number the club expects to secure a representative team. Ever since its organ- ization the club has held the local cham- pionship, and it would indeed be a strange thing if the team this year failed to keep up the reputation. All of the members of the team have been working hard the past week on Co- lumbia Field. On account of the weather the practice has been as light as possible, consisting of punting, passing and kicking. The candidates for backs are Cabrera, Speare, Hooker, Gordon, Lewis, Ballinger and Nelligan. Wisner, Curtiss, Lunsford, Moon and Humphrey are trying for the ends, while Wells, Gordon, McGowan, Bal- linger and Nelligan are trying for tackles. O'Leary and Speare will try for guards, and Underwood and Johnson will run for center. The former played a very good game last season at center, and it seems quite likely that he will occupy the same position this season, while Johnson will take some other position on the front line. While the team is in practice Manager Korn is making arrangements for a full schedule of games for this séason, which, like last season, may include a trip out of town. An effort will be made to have a game with the Indian eleven from the Car- lisle school. It will be remembered that last year an effort was made to secure a game with the Indian players, which re- sulted unsuccessfully. It is also quite like- ly that a series of games will be arranged with the team of army officers from Fort Monroe. Last year the C. A. C. boys suc- ceeded in winning the championship after a very close contest. It seems quite likely that the annual Thanksgiving day game this season in this city will be between these two teams. Other Local Teams. None of the other local clubs or schools has started in toward organizing an eleven. Columbian University will not open until September 29, and until the nothing will be known of the intentions of the students. It is quite likely, however, that a team will be organized, though it will be rather late in_ getting into the field. It is also likely that a team will be formed at Kendall Green. The students of that college have been keeping up with the game, and there appears to be no reason why a departure from the custom should be _ male this year. Howard University, it is understood, will also be represented on the gridiron. The Maryland Agricultural Colleze will also have a team out on the field. In addition to these it appears certain that some loca: clubs will have elevens, though the totar number of teams in the District will not reach such a large number. If the students of Columbian University organize a team it will be with the express purpose of making a bid for the local championship. Ever since Georgetown Uni. versity has refused to have a team to p! for the local supremacy, Columbian Uni- versity has taken up the controversy and sought the coveted honor. Tuast year the team played hard for the championship, but without success, and there is hardly any doubt of its not keeping up the strug- gle again this year: In the event of a match game the C. A. C. team will have the advantage of fully a month's training: over their rivals. Only Class Foot Ball at Georgetown. Despite all reports to the contrary there will be no outside foot ball this season at Georgetown University. This is au- thoritative. This statement was made to The Star reporter by Rey. J. Hav tich- ards, S. J., the rector of the university. During the summer there was a rumor to the effect that foot ball would again be sanctioned this fall, and that there would be a change in the presidency of the in- stitution. This was only a rumor. The same. rector, with practically the same faculty, is still at the institution, and the same restrictions that were placed on the game last year will be enforced this sea- son. Class foot ball games will be played this year the same as last. These are the only signs which show that the game is not entirely eradicated from the sports of the ‘varsity. All of the classes of the institution will have foot ball teams. Noth- ing has been done as yet in this line owing to the fact that the term has just opened. Next week, or within a short time, the stu- dents will begin practice. A series of games will be arranged between the various class- es for the championship of the college, an honor as much coveted by the students as is the championship of the District by the local teams. The games at the university will be continued until quite late in the sea- son. Visit of Yate Men. The fact that a number of Yale players came to this city in order to get a couple of weeks’ practice caused a revival of in- terest in the game locally. As has been stated in The Star, they were ordered to the city by the management of athletics at Yale to secure the coaching of Frank But- terworth, the well known local player, for- merly a member of the Columbia Athletic Club team, and later of the Yale eleven, who is regarded as one of the best full backs that ever playéd in the game. The seven players who are in the city have not been practicing team work, but have been drilled in kicking, punting, passing and the work that falls upon the men who play behind the line. The players have been in the city for the past two weeks, and leave today for New Haven, in order to attend the opening of the university. The time spent in this city was merely taken up with preliminary practice. The real hara work will begin next week at New Haven. Mr. Butter- worth could snot accompany the members on their trip to Yale, though later he ex- pects to visit New Haven and give his advice. Though James O. Rodgers of Toledo, Chio, was elected last fall captain of the eleven, he will not serve this season in” that capacity, owing to illness. Hamilton Fish Benjamin, one of the young men who was in this city taking in the practice work, has been elected to fill his place. Benjamin is « senior in the academic de- partment, and played half back last year. He is from Garrison, N.Y. It now looks as if Rodgers would not be able to return to ccllege tntil fall. His attack of typhoid fever was severe, and he is said to be lying very weak at his home in Toledo. Up to date eighty students have sent in their names for the vacancies on the team that will represent Yale this year. Out of jast year’s team only four men will play this year—that is, including ex-Capt. Rod, ers. They are Benjamin, right half baci Alfred H. Hine, left half back, ani W. B. Connor, wh? played left end. will leave seven positions on the team to be filled from the large number of candidates. ‘Those mem! who are unsuccessful in getting a place on the ’-2rsity team will have to be content to take a piaee on one of the scrub teams that will be formed, and run the chance of being a substitute on the first team. Capt. Benjamin is san- guine that the university will have a team is year equal to that of any previous year, he so expressed himself to a Star r. Beaver At Cther Colleges. The great games of this year are not yet all scheduled, but as near as known at this time, Cornell and Harvard will play their great annval championship contest Novem- Estee at Cambridge. Harvard and Yale meet at Cambridge November 13, and November 20 Yale and Princeton will play at New Haven. On this same date Penn- sylvania on Harv: ways several important games, and one of the most eventful contests this year will be the game between Cornell and Penn- sylvania at Philadelphia. Princeton, who was awarded the chatr- Pionship last year, will “be captaiaed this season by Garrett hran, who played end rush on the team last season. Har- vard’s captain will be Norman Cabot, who Played end rush on last year’s team, and covered himself with glory in u general way. Captain McKeever, who formerly played left half back, will direct the for- tunes of Cornell this season. John H. Minds, the old full back, and the only man who never lost his head, will have charge of the University of Pennsylvania team for this season. The foot ball fever will be at its height this year, because of the un- settled state in which the games were left last year. _— CHESS AND ‘ITS PLAYERS An international chess tournament began at Berlin last Monday. The number of en- tries "was limited to twenty. The partici- pants include most of the masters who have taken part in recent tournaments. At the same time it is noticeable that Las- ker, Steinitz and Tarrasch, three of the “big four,” which also includes Tschigorin, are not entered, which is also true of Pills- bury and Maroczy. In fact, there is no representative from this country. There are several names not noticed in recent tourneys, viz,, Alapin, who is unquestiona- bly a strong player; Caro, Cohn, Zinki, En- gtisch, who played a match of five games with Pilisbury, all the games being drawn; and Metger and Suechting, who recently won first and second prizes in a masters’ tourney at Altona, Germany. Blackburne, the English master, was ahead at the end of the fourth round, having won all four games scheduled, one game having been won from Tschigorin. Then follow in a bunch Walbrodt, Janowski, Alapin, E: glisch, Marco and Schlechter. The tourna- ment will last two weeks more, one round being played each day, except Sunday. Only one game was played the past week in the summer tournament at the Wash- ington Chess Club. It was between Mess Campbell and Prender, and’ was won Prender, being his first victory. Mr. Cam: bell had the advantage, and was a couple of pawns ahead and expected to win, when he lost a piece by a blunder. Interest cen- ters in the results of Mr. Prender’s games with Smith and O'Farrell, as should Pren- der defeat either of them it would affect the prize winners, Following is the present standing of the players: Won.
