Local Players Much Pleased Over Its Success. The fourth annual croquet tournament given by the croquet players of Washing- ton is at last a thing of the past. Although the local players for a time gave up busi- ness cares and devoted themselves entire- ly to the enjoyment of the sport, the inter- est, now that the tournament is over, has not diminished, and the local men may still be seen any evening occupying all the courts,with enough croquet “fans” left over to form a good-sized crowd of spectators. The local devotees of the game are much pleased with the success of the tourna- ment, the number of the visiting players, the almost perfect weather that prevailed and the general satisfaction expressed on all sides with the management of the tour- nament. The visiting players’ expressions of praise of the Washington courts was also a matter of much gratification to the local club. ‘The absence of a number of players who reside in other cities and who have attend- ed previous events of the kind in this city was much felt, however, aithough the presence here of the champion of the coun- try and the winner of second place pre- cluded any cloud to the title of champion of the south. Among those who could not attend may be mentioned Geo. W. Johnson, ex-champion of Philadelphia; Henry G. Fay of Brooklyn, ex-president of the Na- tional Association; James Cousins of New York, Capt. A. O. Griswold of Elyria, Ohio; James Bilbrough of Philadelphia, Samuel Dudiey of New London and Messrs. Bell and Chalfonte of Wilmington, Del. Great regret was also expressed by their friends that Dr. Greenway and Prof. Jacobus did not play up to their usual form. Both of these gentlemen have for years been shin- ing lights in the croquet world and a little practice is all that is needed to make them winners again. The prizes this year were medals or badges, six in number, suitably engraved, and in form emblematic of the game. The first prize in each of the three divisions was a gold medal, with a silver emblem for second place. The first prize in the first division was won by Geo. C. Strong of New London, Conn., with a score of eleven games won and one lost. Mr. Strong has held the na- tional championship three years in all, his last victory being in 1895, and is considered to be one of the prettiest and at the same time most careful players in the country. His fame does not rest alone upon his cro- quet laurels, for he is a prominent business man and has occupied a seat in the legis- lature of the nutmeg state. ‘The second prize in the first division was captured by Sackett Duryee, who won it im the play-off of a tie between himself and W. H. Wahly, also of this city, each of whom had ten games won and two lost. Duryee won the championship of the Washington tournament last year and the national championship this year, wihile Wahly won the Washington prize two years ago came second by but one game in the national tournament this year. Wahly also enjoys the distinction of being the only player to beat the winners of both the recent national championship contest and the local tournament just concluded. The first honors in the second division were clearly won by a young Washington player, Charles Wiiliams, his score being eight won and one lost. As this is his first experience in a tournament, it was feared that he would not retain his nerve when the critical time arrived for him to show bis skill, but he has demonstrated his abil- ity to cope with the best players of the country, and. next year will play in the first class. Second honors in this division were only of a tie between P. W. Coleman and A. Hall, both of this city, in which contest the suc- ceeded in out victorious. Captain Coleman is @ prominent G..A. R. man, and, although he has but one arm, has been an eens athe dozen or more years. year national tourna- ment he missed ve only two of these $150 one of the prettiest players local “‘cracks.”” Of the men in the third division T. S Yeager has shown himself to be the su- perior of all in a croquet sense. He won the first prize with a phenomenal score of seven won and none lost. He is a new player compared with most of his oppo- nents, but has shown a skill that puts him on a footting with the best of the experts. W. H. King, who shares the laurels with Mr. Yeager in this division, taking second Place, is a resident of Langdon and pos- es one of the finest courts in the coun- try. Langdon club, of which Mr. King is a member, is a few organization, but boasts of a number of promising players. Thus it wil Ibe seen that in all eas ex- jcept the first prize in the first division, ; Washington came to the front and took the | remainder of the tokens offered.

Boston Vocalist Who Was Shot Re- cently in London, A special dispatch to the New York World from London says: Miss Hilda Orme, the vocalist and composer from Boston, who was mysteriously shot on the night of September 18 on the doorstep of a house where she was lodging in Keppel street, Bloomsbury, by a man whom she alleged spoke with an American accent, has been removed from the hospital to a lunatic asylum. During the week following the shoot- ing she gave a circumstantial account of the attack made upon her. She also en- tered into particulars of a prolonged per- secution to which she alleged she had been subjected both in America and England. Confinement in her room, rendered neces- sary by her injury, had such an effect on her mind that it became imperative to place her temporarily under restraint and close medical supervision. Instead of improving the unfortunate young woman became seri- ously worse. Miss Orme was conveyed un- der a magistrate’s order to Colney Hatch yesterday. ————+e+____ HIS HEAD IN THE QCEAN.

TROPHY Successful Race Meet, at Athletic Park = NOTES OF BALL PLAYERS From. the Baltimore Sun, aioe The scene of the Temple cup contests was tramsferred on Saturday from’ Boston to Baltimore, and the Orioles won, as they did the last two games in Boston and the two exhibition games at Worcester: end Springfield. The score was 12 to 11. The nerve of the new champions seems to have compietely evaporated since the breakdown of their great pitcher, “Kid” Nichols, in the first game, and, although the Orioles have hardly been playing up to their best form; they have found the Bostons easy to beat. Had the first game in Boston been called when it grew too dark to play, the Orioles would have won four straight games and the Tempie cup would now be in Baltimore. Base ball ix very uncertain, but it looks now as if the Faltinures ought to win the cup easily. Judging from the small erowd at Satur- day’s game, which was less than an aver- age Saturday crowd during the season, the local base ball public is taking little inter- est in the Temple cup. * Saturday’s game, like nearly all the pre- ceding contests, was characterized by heavy batting. This is oniy partly due to the weakness of the pitchers. The twirling force of both teams has not shown much fcrm, but some exceilent pitching has been done, and still the batting has been heavy. The fact is that the hitting of both teams against each other, including that last Bal- timore-Boston series, has been extraordi- nary. s Jerry Nops held the visitors in check on Saturday for four inninys, but thea weak- ened and was hammered out of the box in the next three. Corbett succeeded h'm and saved the game. “Happy Jack" Stiv- etts tried his hand for two innings against the Orioles, but after eleven runs had been made on him he gave way io Lewis. The collegian did well, but whether he would have done so if the Orioles had not had such a big lead ts a question. The new champs came near batting out a_victory in the last few innings in spite of the Orioles’ lead of 11 to 0 at the be- ginning of the fifth inning. Another cup game will be played today at Union Park. If the. Orioles win Temple cup will be theirs for the co: year. BASE BALL NOTES. President Young of the National League returned home from Baltimore Saturday evening. Mr. Young the chief cause of the big scores in the Temple eup games is the past strain on the pitchers trying to win the championship. The All-American team “Played a picked nine at Hoboken yesterday, and won by the score of 5 to 3. Several of the Bostor. players went over to Hokoken from Bal- timore to take part in’the game. Last Friday President Freedman of the New York club calleq Captain Joyce into his office, and, after alfew-pleasant words In recognition of Bill's lating the Glants third in the champiofiship' race, presented him with a check for $1,00). In the even- ing the many friends"of “Scrappy” gath- ered at the Colonial’ Hétel, Harlem, to give him a farewell banquet. Johnny Ward made a happy speech, tellfng how he had brought out Joyce with’ the Brooklyn Brotherhood team, and siid-that in his estimation Joyce was one of the most earnest players in thé league and also one o2 the best captains.’ Captain Joyce left for his home, St. Louis, the next day. Captain Brown is doing the “‘clam” act these days, and for amusement goes fish- ing and rides his wheel. Captain Tom says there are deals and deals in contempla- tion by Mr. Wagner and himself, but that to make them public would spoil every- thing. As soon as there is any news worthy of publication, Tom says, the local base ball fans will be the first to know it. Jimmy McHale, Toronto's outfielder, and recently drafted’ by Mr. Wagner for the Washington club, will be a member of the Baltimore team which is to make a trans- continental tour with the All-American team. He received orders Saturday to re- port in Baltimore October 16. McHale will probably act as a substitute outfielder. He is from California, and knows the country well through which the two teams will travel on the Pacific coast. His playing will be closely watched by the Washing- ton enthusiasts, as he is touted to take Captain Tom Brown's place next season in the Senators’ center garden. Bierbauer is reserved by St. Louis, Tom McCarthy by Brooklyn and Huyler Wester- velt by New York. Hardie Richardson, the old-time player, and recent manager of the Hamilton, Ont., team, is suffering from a stroke of paral- ysis, ard there is slight hope of his recov- ery. He was one of the “big four.’ What will Indianapolis do in 1898 without Watkins, and what will Watkins do with LY Pitisburg are vertinent questions. May In- dianapolis find a worthy successor for him and may Pi:tsburg have reason to be proud of its new manager. Lange closes the season as leader of the Colts’ batsmen, and as the fastest base- runner. The team’s batting record is very fair, the fielding tolerable, and the Hase- stealing excellent. But they lost about as many games as the law allowed, just the same. The ball players who saved their dollars during the playing season can go into win- ter quarters with more satisfaction than their shiftless comrades who spent their Salaries as fast as they earned them. The Boston critics who irsisted last year that Bergen and one or two meinbers of the Boston team were not fast enough, are slow to give Frank Selee credit for his su- perior judgment. The offic'al scorers, who refuse to accord stolen base plays according to the rules, should be required to step dcwn and out in 1898. Uniform scoring {s not an impossibil- ity and President Young can easily bring it_about.—Sporting News. The i:dications are that whatever the temperature may be during November in Philadelphia there will ‘be a hot time in that town when the annual ‘meeting of the National League takes place. Jack Crooks is back in St. Louis, where, as usual, he spends the winter. The king had a great year at Columbus. He fs tic- kled to death to get back in the league, but hardly revels in the idea of joining the Browns. “I would rather play in the Klon- dike league than with the $t. Louis team,” said Crooks yesterday. “Ihave never done well here. The management has a bad way of raaking all of us ‘good’ players do poor- ly by interference. Berhaps they will act differently next seasog.. If they don’t you won't be able to figure gut the Browns’ standing with a crowbar”, One cannot go down.the street these days without hearing ‘“‘corner’’, gonversations in which such phrases, as \‘Sold out,” “Of course Baltimore will get tt,” and “‘Hippo- drome” are freely heard. It is safe to say that the supporters ‘of tte belief, which seems prevalent, that “the Orioles are bound to win the Temple ¢up because they allowed Boston to win the pennant,” have had a very slight “inside” of base ‘ball they went into the Temple cup games to be beaten like children, The second year it was little better, but the third time: the Orioles had the the those fatal days, September 24, 25 and 27, to give the le direct.—Baltimore News. BANNER WILL COME HERE. Washington Team Won First Honors im Yesterday’s Century Run. ‘The fifth annual run of the Century Cycle Club of Maryland took place yesterday from Baltimore. The run was to Fred- erick, Md., and return, a distance of a little over 100 miles. The start was made from the corner of Eutaw and Madison streets at 530 o'clock, and over 400 wheel- men and wheelwomen responded to the bugle call, which was the signal to start. At the head rode the pacemakers, Joseph Wirth and George Pfeffer, followed by the officers of the run, Charles B. Balke, cap- ‘tain; Henry Smith, first Heutenant; William H. Powell, second lieutenant. The total number of entries was 428, of which number 422 started and 367 finished the run. In the party were thirteen ladies. Each survivor will receive a handsome oxidized badge from the Century Club. The run of yesterday was the hardest one in the history of the ¢lub. Last year’s run ended in a hard rain, which was better than fighting the dust all the way to Fred- erick and back, as was the case yesterday. The dust and sand on the roads was at Places two and three inches deep, und this, together with the strong, damp wind, which the riders had to face all the way home, not only made it laborious, but the clouds of dust made it impossible to see the obstructions and ruts. Quite a number of wheelmen from this city entered, and, as far as is known, sur- vived the run within the time limit. L. A. Fisher and Frank Moore, representing the C. Bi. C., were among the survivors, as was also A. S. McCoy of the same club. The Century Cycle Club of this city entered a team of eleven men, ten of whom finished. The team was composed of Edward S. Byrnes, captain; G. W. Myers, H. C. Glo- ver, James Tune, Louis Abell, C. V. Spar- row, Howard Fisk, A. Hollander, John H. Glover, A. B Griffith and E. C. Eckhoff. The boys worked hard for the banner of- fered to the out-of-town club making the best showing and are confident they have won it, although this will not be known until all the checks have been sorted and arranged. LOCAL CYCLERS WON. Firat of the Races With Baltimore Wheelmen. The first of the intercity races between Baltimore and Washington was won by Washington at International Athletic Park Saturday. The Washington team, com- posed of Horan, Wilson and Smith, came in one, two, three. LeCompte, French and Norris represented Baltimore. Schade went agains: his record, paced by a triplet, and made a mile in 2:02 3-5. Estes won the race for policemen in handy style. The sum- mary: First race—mile, novice; Smith: Time, 2.47.

Mile against time—Schade, 2.02 3-5. won by Ed. Michael Makes More Records. At the Willow Grove cycle track at Phil- adelphia, Saturday, trials were made by Jemes Michael, the Welsh wheelman, for all records from one mile to one hour against time, paced. From eleven miles until he crossed the line at thirty-two miles his time was faster than any other world’s records for the same distances, and from the twenty-sixth mile until he crossed the tape in the thirty-second mile he excelled the American competition records held by himself. it was announced by the track officials that Michael would try to beat the record of Stocks, the Englishman, for one hour, which was 32 miles 448 yards. This he did, making 32 miles 652 yards in the sixty minutes, but another record of 32 miles 1,086 yards made by Stocks still stands. There were thirty-six pacemakers on two Sextets, two quintets and four quads. The track was in the best of condition and shere was scarcely a breath of wind blow- ing. Tim Hurst Will Referee. Tim Hurst, the well-known base ball um- pire, has consented to referee the twenty- round contest between Pat Raedy, the local champion, and Nick Burley, the California Pugilist, which will take place at the Spa Athletic Club house, on the Bladensburg road, tomorrow night. All former points of dispute over rules have been harmonized, and there is no possibility of a disagree- ment. Burley is a slight favorite in the betting because of his superior form in the first meeting between the two men. Foot Ball Series Arranged. President Cain and Secretary Strickter of the Intercollegiate Foot Ball League of Maryland have arranged the following games: October 16, Western Maryland Col- lege vs. St. John’s, at Westminster; Octo- ber 13, St. John’s vs. Gallaudet, at An- napolis; October 23, M.

WHIST. Baltimore’s Four Wins the A. W. L. ‘Trophy. The first contest for the season of 1897 and 1898 for the American Whist League trophy was played at Toledo Saturday, and was won by the Baltimore four, after nine hours’ continuous play. Forty-eight boards were played. At the end of thirty-six boards Toledo had made a gain of six points, but on the last twelve boards the Baltimore team made a clear gain of thir- teen points, the final score being for Bal- timore, 304 points; Toledo, 297 poiats. The (pams were made up of the follow- ing: Baltimcre—T, A. Whelan, A. H. McCay, George P. Thomas and H. E. Bosler. Toledo—Dr. Frank J. Hart, Carl Beck- ham, C. Locke Curtis and Clarence Brown.
