CANDIDATES Members of the Club Trying for the Eleven. SCHEDULE FOR THE SEASON Baitimore Takes the Second Tem- ple Cup Game.- CURRENT NOTES OF SPORT The practice of the Columbia Athletic Club's foot ball team has progressed quite slowly so far this season. The men start- ed on their third week of practice Monday, and were stiil without signals. The work up to date has consisted merely of the sim- pler plays, in carrying the ball forward, passing the bail, falling on the ball, kick- ing and catching the ball. The more im- portant points of the game, such as tack- ling, defensive and offensive- work, form- ing and breaking up interference,-and per- fecting special plays, have not been touched upon, while teams with whom games are scheduled are already engaged in regular contests. The first week the men were badly handi- capped by the excessive heat for this kind of exercise, and they have also been with- out the service of an experienced coach, one of the most necessary adjuncts to the success of a winning team. Another draw- back has been the absence from practice of the old and more experienced players of the club who intend to piay on the team. Of course, a regular place is assured the club’s best men, and they consider it un- recessary to undergo the preliminary prac- tice, thus hampering the team, to a certain extent, in its progress. ~ From present appearances the outlook is not specially encouraging, and there is some doubt as to whether the club will reach its usually high standard. At any Tate, it will be at least half a month later than usual in striking its accustomed gait. ‘The team suffers several serious losses of men who have heretofore been mainstays, which condition will cripple the team some- what, and is liable to leave it weakened in several vital spots throughout the season. John Shields, often considered one of the most famous full backs of the country, and who has played the position for the past five years, will, in all probability, not re- turn this year. Reeve Lewis, another ex- cellent player of five years’ standing, has announced his retirement, as have also Al Leet, McConville, an excellent guard last year, and Walsh, a good full back. Eddie Sefton is another excellent man as yet doubtful. The men who have already shown up for practice, however, form the nucleus of a strong team. As with most of the local teams, there is a surplus of ends, all of whom are good players and promise to make these places the strongest on the team. Humphreys, who is an aggressive, experienced player, is practically certain of one end, while the other end will be fought for by Curtiss, 150 poun Charlie Taus- sig, 140 pounds, and W. de Lunsford, 144 pounds. Of these, Tau: , who is fol- lowing in the footsteps of his famous brothers, shows up most promisingly, but is regarded as being too light for the position. In the event of Ed. Sefton’s return to the team an end will probably be given to him. There is almost as good a supply of tackles. The redoubtable Captain Pat. Weils, pounds, will play as left tackle, and McGowan, 175 pounds, will probably play right tackle. Both played these posi- tions last year, and it is believed they will retain them. However, they will find two gcod candidates for the same position tn Smith, 170 pounds, who hails from Wil- liams College, and Brock from the Mary- land Athletic Clyb. At guard, Fighting Tubby Dickinson, 210 peunds, is one surety, and for the other there will be a race by Cross, 21142 pounds, and Franz, a coming champion at pole vaulting, both of whom are new me: Claudy, 170 pounds, and Smith, the W! liams College play: Mike Underwood, pounds, will reap- pear at center, and will be backed up by Frank Parson, 150 pounds, at quarter back. Wasson, a new man, who played this pos tion on the Ohio State University team last year, may also be found in the same place this ‘season. The half backs will probably be Maupin, 165 pounds, who comes from the Eastern High School, with a good rec- ord, and Hooker, 175 pounds, who played the position on last year's team. Nelligan, 160 pounds, an excellent player from the Maryland Agricultural College, is also a likely candidate for this position. The best available man for full back Is Snell, 165 pounds, who, like Maupin, has had experience on’ the Eastern High School team, and is quite likely to play this posi- tion permanently. It is Intended to line the men up against & scrub team this week and drill them thor- oughly in team werk, which is most essen- tial. “Considerable training is necessary before the men can feel confident of win- ning from the strong teams which they will soon buck up against. The schedule of games to be played is as follows: Tuesday, October 19, at Charlottesville, Va., witn University of Virginia. Saturday, October 23, at Orange, N. J., with Orange Athletic Club. Saturday, October 30, at Washington, with Columbian University. Tuesday, November 2, at Baltimore, with Maryland Athletic Club. Saturday, November 6, at Washington, with Maryland Athletic Club.

BALTIMORE TOOK THE SECOND. Heavy Batting Characterized Yester- day’s Game at Boston. Baltimore and Boston played the second getme in the Temple cup series at Boston yesterday before a gathering of more than 6,000 persons. _ The Baltimores won out after one of the best all-arcend games seen in Boston this season. Their fielding was almost perfect, McGraw making the only misplay, losing a high fly after a hard run. Corbett started off with slow ones, then warmed up and cut them in with speed, but it was all the same to the Boston men when he got them over the plate. He gave several bases on balls and they proved cestly. Finding that his curves were easy marks, Corbett started in to win his own game, and he succeeded in putting in a single off Klobedanz and trimming Stiv- etts for a single, a double and a home run. Klobedanz pitched nearly five innings. He gave three bases on balls and was hit safely nine times with a total of sixteen. Stivetts came in to stem the tide and was touched up on the first ball pitched for a home run. After this the big fellow set- tled down to good work, holding the old a_i ions for two runs in the Ir run. In thé fourth, with one Clarke was given first. Corbett singled and both were advanced by a passed ball on Me- cae out. Clarke scored. }toth scored. In the si with a double to left, the decision at sec- ond being close.

In the eighth Jennings’ gro&inderjhit third base and bounded badly. 7He {ook second on Lowe's poor throw to [Ten: and scored on Stenzel’s single. Long made a marvelous stop of a grovnder ten feet to the right of second, retiring the side. In Boston's half ofthe dighth Stahl sin- gied and stole second, bat stayed there. In the ninth Clarke and Corbett singled, with one out. Clarke:was Caught napping, Yeager to Long. McGraw was given first and Keeler made a short single. Jennings was third out, with the bases full. In Boston's half Long struck out. Yeager made a double to left. Stivetts flied to center, Hamilton beat the ball to first. A pessed ball advanced both runners, but Tenney’s hard grounder was sent to frst in_time. The_ score: BALTIMORE. BOSTO: R.H.O.A.B. R.H.O.AE.

The Louisville club is hot after Dick Padden, Pittsburg’s second baseman. Manager Watkins wants Cunningham and Hill in exekange, while Pulliam offers Cunningham and Clingman. Algie McBride, the Washington boy, leads the Western League in batting. He will play with Cincinnati next season and help to strengthen the Reds’ weak out- field. There was a well defined rumor in Wash- ington last night that Manager Wagner and Captain Brown are hot after Dick Padden of the Pittsburgs and perhaps Hawley of the same club. “Pink” would be a good man for the Senators. Pitcher Stanley, the local boy who was tried by the Senators in one or two games, is In negotiation with the Richmond and Norfolk clubs looking to his engagement fur next season. Joe will do well in a minor league. The rumor that Jack Doyle of the Balti- mores will be traded for Dahlen of the Chieagos looks well for both clubs. Doyle would make the windy city club 30 per cent stronger and the Baltimores would not be weakened, as Jennings would go to first and Dahlen to short. Letting Doyle go would remove considerable friction from the Oriole players. — = “Beans” and “Has-Beens” is the way a Boston paper designates the Temple cup contestants. aes Before the Boston-Baltiqore game Mon- day, General Hitti 4rthup Dixwell called the Boston players irifo thé dressing room, and in a neat little speech gave each play- er a handsome little diathond pin. This is one of Mr. Dixwell’s fds when Boston wins the pennant. — 7 Here's a strike-out record. According to 4 Wilmington (Del.) evening paper a cer- tain Pitcher Tow: of the Townsend Base Ball Club: of nsend, Del., struck out no fewer than twenty-one batters of the Perryville (Md.) club that went to Townsend Saturday tp play the team there. The paper remarks"that’ the Perryville men “admitted after the game that Towns- end has a drop curv¢ that makes a batter dizzy.” s There is no doubt that Willis is the finest pitcher in the Eastern League.—Springfield Union. We think tht ‘aggregate records amassed by Dinheen and Willis, if placed side by side, will unquestionably demon- strate that Dinneen is quite superior to Willis, save in strike-outs.—H. M. Merrill, in Wilkes-Barre Record. The St. Louis Browns lost every series against the eleven other league clubs in the season just closed. Their best effort was against Brooklyn, from whom they won five games. They won four from Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Chicago, three from Louisville and Washington, two from Baltimore and Boston, one from Cleveland and Cincinnati and none from New York. Louisville won the series from Brooklyn, Cleveland and St. Louis and tied New York and Chicago. Manager Watkins to imduce President of Pittsburg is trying Brush to let MeCarthy of Indianapolis, go to Pittsburg, claiming his hard luck in Cincinnati makes him un- ‘jestrable as a member of the Reds. Charley Nichols has pitched his last gtme for the season of 1897. When he quit in the sixth inning Monday it was because his arm troubled him. After the game he said: “My arm grew lame in the second game at Baltimore, and I will now let some of the other boys finish the season, as [ went to be right rext season.” Nichols de- serves a rest. President Brush and Treasurer Lloyd stand ace high with the Cincinnati Players. They not only gave them permission to play exhibition games for themselves after their last game in Louisville, but paid them up to the 15th and allowed thera their fares from Louisville to Cincinnatt. Svch actions bind the employer and em- pleye closer and bring forth good results in the long run. When the Cincinnatis were in Louisville Ollie Beard, who was with the Detroits this season, told Manager Bancroft that’ in Hahn the Reds had secured one of the best left-handers in the business—cool, gritty and possessed of all the speed, curves and Srops with the best of them. He also added that as a batsman, fielder, thrower and base runner, McBride has few equals and no superiors in the business. After fve years’ service in minor league clubs, Bob Gilks is to return ‘to fast com- pany. What is more remarkable, he is go- ing back to the very club he was with when he won the spangles in the parent organization. In 1891 Gilks was with the Clevelands. Day before yesterday Gilks was one of the players who figured in a deal between the Toledo and Cleveland clubs. Bob was a rattling good player when he was in fast company before, and many wondered at his release at the time it was given. Mrs. Anson gave a dinner Monday night in Chicago to the members of the Chicago Ball Club who were in the city. Those present, besides the hostess and her hus- band, were Thornton, Griffith, Kittredge and Pfeffer. Lange and Callahan are still in St. Louis, and were unable to attend. Connor, Ryan, McCéimick and Donohue are playing with mipor clubs throughout the state. Gr en z Captain Anson talked freely about his plans for the club next season, and among other things announced positively that he would not sever his' confection with tho organization. He said when he retired he would do so voluntarily, but that he would never be forced out oHe is aware of the shortcomings of the G@ub,’@s developed by this season’s play, and to rem- edy them as far as; step in that direction he says he will en- force discipline next year, and every player will have to toe the » with no back out A JUVENILE TOURIST. clist in the country was in the city Master Eddie Parsons of Camden, N. J., aged seven. With his father, B. T. Par- sons, and his thirteen-year-old brother, he left Camden some days ago and wheeled down through, Delaware and the Virginia peninsula to Cape Charles City, where boat was taken for Norfolk. From there the trio rode to Petersburg. The return was, made by City Point and Fredericksburg. They reached this city Monday. afternoon, and after a day’s rest went on to Balti- mere. The little boy rode an eighteen- pound wheel, and covered an average of H about forty miles a day. Both boys looked well, and as though their long trip had not hurt them. The tourists attracted consid- erable notice on the streets here on ac- count of the extremely large rear sprocket wheel on Mr. Parsons’ machine. THE GRIDIRON SERIES. agers of High School Foot Ba! ms Confer. At a meeting of the managers of the sev- eral High School foot ball teams, held in the Central School yesterday afternoon, ar- rangements were made for the kad | series of games for the District High School championship.

An Attractive Place for the Rest of the Week. 4 The Washington Athletic Club opened its fair last evening at its club house on South | Capitol street near O street. The Anacos- tia cars will connect with the 7th and 9th street lines during the continuance of the fair. The decorations provided for the fair are artistic and attractive. The Marine Band furnishes music. The fair will be in Progress during the rest of the week. WILL NOT COACH YALE. Guy Nickalls Says There is No Truth in Rumor. LONDON, October 6—Guy Nickalls, the famous English oarsman, contradicts the | announcement that he and Mr. J. G. Gold, | the stroke of the Oxford and Leander eghts of the past two years, are going to the United States in order to coach the Yule crews. Mr. Nickalls says: “Mr Whitney (Capt. Payne Whitney) of the Yale University crew, said, casually: “Why don’t you come over and coach us But I never thought he was speaking se- riously, and I have no reason to suppose that Yale is dissatisfied with Mr. Cook. In any case, I could not go if I wanted to.” See has just finished a cedar sheli for ‘ale LOCAL TENNIS. Fall Tournament on the Club Grounds. The annual tennis tournament of the Bachelors’ Tennis Club was started yester- day afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock on the grounds of the club, on M street, near 17th street. There was a good attendance of tennis enthusiasts, and the playing contin- ued until near dark. Dr. L. B. Glazebrook was one of the contestants, returning to the game after some years’ absence, play- ing in good form and winning one set. Davidson, the ex-champion, appeared in two sets, and succeeded in winning both, the last being from Dr. Glazebrook. Greer failec to appear, and Waggaman secured the round by default. O'Leary won from Warfield in ‘the same manner. The sum- mary of the first day: First rounds of preliminaries—Van Vleit defeated Cake, 6-1 and G—1; Parks de- feated Tobin, 6—1 and 6—3; Davidson de- feated Clarke, 6—1 and 6-3; Wilson de- feated A. G. Davis, 6—2 and 6-1; Goodfel lew defeated Wimer, 6—1 and 6—4; Glaze- brook defeated Ogden, 6—0 and 6-2; Mc- Mahon defeated Birnie, 6@—0 and 6— Adams defeated Abrams, 6—1 and 6—2. Second round—Goodfellow defeated Wag- gaman, 4—6, 6-2 and 6-3; McMahon de- feated Hall, 6-3 and 6—0; Davidson de- feated Glazebrook, 6—1 and 6—4, and Wil- son defeated Adams, 6—1 and 6—2. DIXON STILL CHAMPION. Bachelor Smith’s Victory Did Not Result in a Knock-Out. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., October 6.—The decision, “Smith wins,” rendered by George Green in the Smith-Dixon fight Monday night does not deprive Dixon of the feath- er-weight champicnship of the world. The Marquis of Queensberry rules provide that uil championship battles shall be to a fin- ish. Had Smith knocked Dixon out in any of the twenty rounds, or had Dixon’s sec- onds thrown up the sponge, or had Dixon failed to respond to the call of time in any of the rounds, Smith would today be the feather-wzight champion of the world. But, as it was, Dixon at the end of the twentieth round was strong and belliger- ent, consequently he did not surrender the championship by Green’s decision. The de- cision was on points, and nothing else. In order that Smith may acquire the feather- weight championship of the world he must fight Dixon to a finish, which he declares he is ready to do at any time. Green’s decision is almost universally re- garded as an eminently fair one. The M. A. C. Eleven. Mr. Grenville Lewis of this city, who graduated from the Maryland Agricultural College last year, and was captain of the foot ball team, has been secured as coach for the eleven this year. Mr. Lewis plays full back for Columbian University. Maryland Agricultural College will play Johns Hopkins, at Baltimore, October Gallaudet of Washington, at College Park, November 7, and St. John’s, at Annapolis, November 13. Games will also be played with Bethel Academy, University of Mary- land, Baltimore City College, and several high school teams. J. A. Lillibridge will captain the team. District Bowling League. There was a meeting of the District Bowling League last evening at the Co- lumbia Athletic Club, with representatives from the Saengerbund, Carroll Institute, Washington ‘Athletic Club and Columbia Athletic Club. The application of the South Washington Business Men's Club for ad- mission to the league was rejected. A number of changes in the rules were made, and preparations for the schedule made the result to be submitted at another meet- ing, to be held Tuesday evening. Se NEW OFFICERS CHOSEN. National Fencibles Choose Liecute: its to Fill Vacancies. The National Fencibles, officially desig- nated as Company C, 2d Battalion, D. C. N. G., for several years the champion military company of the United States, last evening held a long-delayed election to fill vacan- cies in the offices of first and second lieu- tenant, caused by the resignations of First Lieut. Lee B. Mosher and Second Lieut. William W. Mortimer. Sergeant William Eugene Crist was chosen first lieutenant and Sergeant Samuel Clarence Redman second lieutenant. Both elections were ef- fected by unanimous vote. The new officers are very well known and are unusually popular. Lieut. Crist is a charter member of the Fencibles, has’ sev- eral times won the individual competitive drills held by it, and acted as first lieuten- ant of the drill team at the Memphis in- terstate competition, in May, 1895.
