HARVEST FESTIVAL CLOSES. Tuesday Evening’s Program Includes a Banquet and Concert. The harvest festival, held by No. 1 corps of the Salvation Army in their tent on 9th street between Rhode Island avenue and R street, closed Tuesday evening, after four days of successful garnering. The music was furnished by Mrs. Earle Dickinsoa, Miss Gilcrist, Miss Shoemaker and Staff Captain and Mrs. Nobie. A solo, “Sowing the Seed by the Daylight Fair,” was sung by Mrs. Dickinson, whose clear syprano voice filled the tent, and pleased the most critical. Mrs. Dickinson also appeared in a duet with Mrs. Clark. A “Gleaner's Song” was given, the ladies being in the costumes of farmers’ wives. Mrs. Noble was lord of the harvest field; Miss Gilcrist,the weary gleaner; Miss 5 maker, careless gleaner, and Mrs. Dickin- son was ihe burden gleaner. She came in bearing a large bunch of sheaves on ihe right shoulder, and a rake and a sickle, tied with a large red bandana, on the left shoulder. The sestival closed with a banqu altogether, the affair was voted ¢ great success, reflecting credit on ladies who managed it. —————s .

FOR RAPID RIDING. + end, be a the Several Wheelmen Appear as De- fendants im Police Court. George Salon is a letter carrier, and rides a bicyele. Policeman Dodge of the cycle sqvad observed that he violated the low last evening by riding at a forbidden speed, and as a result Salon figured as defendant teday in a Police Court hearing. “This man was riding very fast, your honor,” explained Policeman Dodge. “He was coming down 9th street, and crossed several intersecting streets at a rate of speed not less than twenty miles an hour. He told me he was going to his lodge and was late.” “I had duties to perform at the post office first,” pleaded Salon, ‘and I hurried be- cause I was late.” “When I overhauled him at 10th and M streets he was going in a direction opposite to that which leads to the post office,” in- terjected Policeman Dodge. “That's right,” said Salon, “but I had to go by after another letter carrier, who was going to work with m “I see nothing extenuatimg in your state- ment,” remarked Judge Mills. “You will have to pay a fine of $.

William Craven, a well-known character of Northeast Washington, set forth last evening in search of trouble. He found it. So did Policemen Van der Schaaf and Men- denhall of the ninth precinct. Craven called at the residence of Van der Schaaf and demanded money. “I advised him to go on,” testified the Policeman today in the Police Court, “but instead of doing so he struck me. I knock- ed him down, and he continued the assault; kicking me in the groin. Craven also vio- lently assaulted Policeman Mendenhall, who came to my assistance. We finally landed him at the station house.” Craven had nothing to say, so Judge Kimball sentenced him to jail for six months, three months each on two charges of assault. —_.+—___ Each Forfeited Collateral.

These details could noi have been given to the public earlier, for the reason that the players of both clubs would have been handicapped, and the good standing of the two clubs in the race for the cham- Pionship greatly impaired. Mr. Earl Wagner has selected the follow- ing six players of the Toronto team for trial with the Washington club next sea- scn; Sayder, catcher; Dirneen, pitcher; Mc- Gann, first bese; Wagner, third bas White and McHale, outfielders. The bat- tery is first taken under consideration: Dinneen has been touted by experts as be- ing the equal, if not the superior, of Wil- lis, lately purchased from Syracuse by Boston, and the general opinion is that he will do in the big league. Snyder, above referred to, is wonderfully quick on his fcet, 2 good thrower and a heavy hitter, and is pronounced the find of the Eastern League season. For this battery Boston offered $4,500, $3,000 for Dinneen and $1,500 for Snyder, but as the Wagners had first choice the offer was refused. With the addition of these players it is Eeped to fil! in the weak places on the senatorial aggregation; but Mr. Earl Wag- ner assured The Star reporter that before any of the old men are allowed to go, the new men wil! have to demonstrate con- clusively that they are the superiors of .the old mer. Mr. Wagner says he will play no favor- ites. If McGann can play first base as well as Tucker, he will supplant that hard- working player, as he is Tom’s equal with the stick and a much speedier man on the bases. The same applies to Reilly at third, as Wagner is a better sticker and quick on his feet. McHale and White will be given thorough trials in the outfield, and should they prove good ones, Captain Brown says he will quickly resign from field duty and run the club from the bench, MeGann is the best-krown of the new men. He played second for Boston in ‘6, Lowe was sick, and although slow by ccmparison with that great player, did more than fairly well, and battet away above the average. His stick work is what recommended him to Irwin, and he has been plunking the bingles out all season with wonderful regularity. Wagner, the third baseman, is a brother of the man lately signed by Louisville from Paterson, in the Atlantic League. He is short and stocky, and said to be the equal of the Louisville man. White has been playing left and McHale center field for the ‘orontos all season, and their work has been praised all cver the Eastern League circuit. Their greatest recommen- dation is fleetness of foot, being great hase runners, but with the stick they are also handy, being over .300 per cent hitters. The following averages, covering the sea- son up to about a weck ago, are taken from the Toronto Mail and Empire: Games. A.B. Runs. H - 103 416119 ts.

This is a great record, 2 one that will be appreciated by the shington fans, cn account of several slow men that are within the ranks of the Senators. Of course, all the men under contract for rext season cannot be used on the field, but trades will be made, before and after the season of '98 opens, and in this way it is hoped that Washington will finally se- cure a club that can hold its station per- marently in the first division. In addition to these six new men Messrs. Wagner and Brown are on the lookout for two good left-handed pitchers. Where these players are to come from cannot be told as yet. but through trades and paying out good money it is thought the men desired can be landed. An account of the relations between the Washington and Toronto ball clubs {s in- teresting to base ball readers, for the ex- act state of affairs has never been de- scribed in print. During the season of 1896 President Kerr of the Pittsburg club controlled*the Toronto franchise, hoping through this agency to develop players who would strengthen the Pirates, The scheme fell flat. Not a play- er was developed, and at the end of the playing season last year Mr. Kerr found himself out of pocket just $6,000. Mr. Arthur Irwin was on the cold world last fall, having no particular position us manager in view, but, with his well-known Yankee pluck and ingenuity, determined to make another try for reputation and wealth. The Toronto franchise struck his fancy. Knowing the situation, he got the refusal of it from Mr. Kerr for exactly the sum that had been lost. Mr. Irwin did not have this amount, but, going to Messrs, George and Earl Wagner, demonstrated to those gentlemen the chances for wealth and the development of players in Toronto, and they determined to back up the enter- prise. ‘The $6,000 were advanced by the Messrs. Wagner, and a contract entered into be- tween them and Mr. Irwin about as fol- lows: Mr. Irwin was to receive $1,500 as his salary for the season, and, if any money was made, he was to get half the profits. Besides this, it was agreed that if any players were developed and sold, half this money would also go to Mr. Irwin. The great showing of the Toronto club is pretty well known. The club started out peorly, and for six weeks hugged the tail end of the championship procession, but from that time on their advancement toward the leaders was almost continuous, and today, after holding the leadership for several weeks, they finish the season- in second place. Manager Irwin watched the players close- ly and reported on their development. Snyder had been catching on another eastern league team, but was released witit- out trial aud Irwin quickly gobbled him up. McGann was not wanted by the Bas- ton olub, as he seemed too slow for fhe Position at second base, and again Irwin came to the front, getting his name to a contract and placing him at first base. Everything seemed to come Arthur's way. The young players seemed all over. They were fast on their feet, good fielders and above all, good hitters. As a result the Torontos drew good at- pease a eonenant = season and the lessrs. Wagner an ir. Irwin will di- vide up about $15,000. Being content with their investment this season in the Hastern League, the Messrs. Wagner were ready to listen to a new considerable, the owners of the Washing- ton club were of a halt dozen of the Toronto pi and in re- 1¥ good luck should be able to make a good purse for himself. Speaking of the season about ending, Mr. Barl Wagner said that he is decidedly Satisfied and more than pleased with the ability of Brown as a handler of ball players, and that he is confident Tom wiil do still better work in "98. Had Brown been at th \d of the club from the start'of-the cleared by the Washingt season of '97, all of which will be expended in getting togethep 3 winner for next year, FOUR BALBS24ND A HOMER. ‘They Were: fo@:‘Mgrh for the Wash- gone : The Philadelphia Presé has t .e following account of yesterday's game with Wash- irgton in Philadelphia: Shugart and Lajoie hit the ball in a vital spot at the proper moments yesterday af- ternoon and a victory was wrested from Washington just when they thought they had the Phillies beaten. It was a brilliant wind up of the season and made Billy Shettsline wish the race could be started all Cver again. Shugart’s poke was welcomed, especially by those who have wished the hustling short stop success in his efforts to play good ball, and came after three errors by him, none of which, however, did any damage. It followed a base on balis to Lajoie in the eighth and consisted of a drive over the right-field fence, which tied the score. The hit was all the more notable because a regular gale blew across tMe field, which not only held the ball back, but also curved it so that it was vy near the foul mark when it disappeared behind the fence. La- joie for the third time-this month had the honor of making the hit which sent in the winning run in-the ninth inning. One was out and Cooley on second when Delahanty appeared at the bat, and he could have throttled Swaim when the elongated -twirl- er purposely gave him four balls. Despite their numerous errors, both teams played brilliantly at times, Shugart, Lajoie, Selbach, De Montreville and. Wrig- ley all being given a hand for hard catches or stops. Both teams found it hard to bunch hits, and Dunkle was unusually wild. To Selbach he was especially gener- ous, that young man being given four bases on_bails. Bases on balis to Selbach and Gettman, Denkle’s wild throw and McGuire's double scored two runs for Washington in the first. The Phillies got one on Cooley’s sin- gle and steal of second and two outs. ‘The heme team tied the score in the second. Nash walked and was forced by Boyle, who tallied on Dunkle’s single and De Montre- ville’s fumble on Cooley. In the fourth Seibach walked, stole second and tallied on De Montreville’s single. The Senators’ last run came in the seventh on singles by Gett- man and McGuire and a sacrifice. It look- ed like a defeat for Philadelphia until the eighth, when Lajoie was given four balis and Shugart’s homer made the teams ever. Ccoley opened the ninth with a single, reached secord on Dowd’s sacrifice and romped in with the deciding run on La- Joie’s low liner to left. Score: WASHINGTON. PHILADELPHIA. R.W.O.A.E. R.1.O.AE.

They arranged the following sched- ule: At Boston, October 4, 5 and 6; at Bal- timore, October 9, 10 and 11. This leaves October 7 and 8 open to play in Boston any games proposed there. The opening game in Baltimore will be on Saturday. On their way tc Boston the Champions will play at Weehawken October 3. Hurst and Ems- He will umpire the Boston games. Corbett will probably pitch Friday and Monday, and Hoffer on Saturday. Boston People Happy. From the Baltimore Sun. BOSTON, September 22.—As may be Im- agined Boston went fairly crazy over the defeat of the Baltimores today. Boston had an easy task with the Brooklyns, and everybody watched with eager interest the posting of the Baltimore-New York game on the score board. Great cheering greeted the first posting of three runs in two in- nings for New York and none for Ralti- more. When the people left the grounds the figures stood 4 to 3 in favor of New York. Many feared that Baltimore would win in the end, and there was great re- Joicing in the hotel corridors when it was given out that the champions had lost, Seventy-five names have been listed to go to Baltimore, but this number will doubtless be largely augmented on account of th2 condition of affairs at present. The Bostons left for Orange, N. J., this evea- ing at 6:45, and many of their friends were at the depot. ‘Khe stay-at-homes are Pitch- ers Hickman and Sullivan, and Charles Ganzei, whose wife is ill. DASE BALL NOTES. The Senators move over to New York to- day and will play two games in that city tomorrow afternoon. Bresnehan is on the card to pitch and Sullivan will probably oppose him. The Baltimore American says of yester- day’s New York-Baltimore game: “The birds had a hard time carrying out instruc- tions, as they were given the worst of every decision.” What do you think of that? Can any one recollect when the Orioles lost a game through poor fielding and batting? It’s always the umpire. Will Captain-Manager Joyce permit about 2,500 Washington enthusiasts to extend to him the assurance of their most distin- guished consideration? There was as much interest displayed in the New York game in this city yesterday as the one in Phila- delphia. If Captain Brown can snatch a victory or two from the birdlets the local fans’ cup of joy will be filled to the brim. If the friends of the Washington club will take the trouble to investigate they will find that the same old crowd that are now hammering Captain Tom Brown also plugged Bill Joyce and drove him out of town. The two players are very much alike, the one is not a heavy hitter and the other is a poor fielder, but they get the gocd work out of the men under them, and that is the principal object sought. Herman Long 1s still troubled with the sore wrist that McJames gave him during the last series with the Senators in Bos- ton. Captain Duffy is saving Herman ull he can for the Baltimore series. Yester- day, when the game looked safe, Duffy went to short and Long to the bench. Taat inshoot of Jimmy's has been very costly to the Bostons. For failure to cover first base on a ball hit to Gettig in the first New York-Balti- more game President Freedman fined “Big Bill” Clark $50. St. Louis has “farmed out Pitchers eee a great winning pitcher. Presidett Byrne of the Brooklyn base bali club yesterday telegraphed from Boston that he had secured by chase for his club Catcher Ryan of use, Miller, pitcher of Fall River; Yeager, pitcher of Lancaster, and ao Crispman and Beam of the Newrort club. At Syracuse yesterday President Powers, representing ihe Eastern Leagve; Wai. L. Lush, représenting Toronto, and A. C. Buckenburger, representing the Stars, win- ners of the Eastern League pennant, met and decided that the Steinert cup series would be played as follcws: At Syracuse, September 24, 25 and 26; at Toronto, Sep- tember 28, 29 and 30; the seventh game, if necessary, to be at a point agreed on later. Swartwood will be the umpire. For coining words to fit the case The season’s been prolific. The strain upon the lexicon Has been something quite terrific. ‘The chaps who write about the fights, Have given us solar plexus. And a jag they call in Cleveland town A quiet Sockalexis. —St. Paul Globe. “Brownie” Foreman, who passed an un- eventful year in base ball, has been cut loose by Loftus.+It did not take Loftus long to get enough of the youngster. He had one continual round of pleasure for two whole weeks, pitched a part of two games, and then Manning got this tele- gram from Loftus: “What shall I do with Foreman?’ “Cut him loose,” wired back Manning, and. Brownie’s pay was stopped immediately. Foreman was considered splendid pitcher at one time last year, when he was with Pittsburg, but mixed too much of his time wrestling with John Barleycorn. Dennie Lycns, the third baseman who had to leave the Pittsburgs because one of his hands was so badly shattered by a pitched ball by Amos Rusie, is all right again. Dennic went to Urbana with a team the other day. He played the bag without the slightest trouble. His hand is entirely well. There are tew bette: third base- men in the business than Dennie, and he is one of the hardest and most timely hit- ters the league ever had in its ranks.

Joe Patchen Carries Off the $3,000 Parse at Milwaukee. Joe Patchen easily defeated Star Pointer two out of three heats at the fair grounds at Milwaukee yesterday. Pointer won the first heat in 2.03%, breaking the state record. The big bay acted badly in the sec- ond and third heats, however, and Patchen carried off the $3,000 purse. Patchen got the pole in the first heat, and after several false starts the pacers finally got away. They had gone but a few yards when Patchen broke, and did not get down to business again until he reached the three- eighths pole, after which ne gained on Pointer, but the latter passed under the wire, winner by two and a half length: Time by quarters, 31%, 1.03%, 1.34%, 2.08%. In the second heat Star Pointer had the pole. Just as the quarter was reached he began to break, and made a very poor showing the rest of the distance, Patchen leaving him at the finish by several lengths eS ae by quarters, 31 1-5, 1.03 11%. The third heat, with Star Pointer again en the pole, proved to be an easy thifig for Patchen. The starter had barely said the word “Go!” when Pointer commenced to break, and the heat was won by Patchen without any exertion, in 2.07%. Time by quarters, 31%, 1.3, 1.36, 2.07%. English Cricketers Far Ahead. «Mr. Warner's team of English cricket players began a match game at the Catons- ville Country Club.
