Both Men in Good Condition for Their . Coming Fight. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., October 25.—Both Gecrge Lavigne and Joe Walcott are down to weight and in fine fettle for their fight on next Friday night. Walcott has had no trouble in reducing to 135 pounds, and is pronounced by the experts to be fit for the fight of his life. Lavigne at present weighs 134 pounds, and will let up in his work for the next few days. The men will weigh in at 6 o’clock on Friday evening, Leading in wrap values. It’s getting to be a wider known fact every day that no other cloak house in this city qtiotes such low prices as Hecht’s. one who has made comparisons will dispute the statement that our stock of ladies’ coats, capes and wraps is the largest—the best se- lected—and the most varied—of any ever shown in Washington.

SENATORS“ ATHE AOR” STANDING 1 £7 Contests Among the Foot Ball Elev- Ce CURRENT NOTES OF SPORT See President Young of the National Base Ball League has issued -the fieldifig averages of the players of the big league; and the average base.vall fan will be kept busy for the next few days figuring out how his favorite played during the past season, Averages are really worthless when it comes to selecting @. first-class player through them, -but here and there the right player is selected f6 lead the pro- cession. Oliver Tebeau leads the first base- men and “Bid” McPhee, the second base- men, but these twoiare about all to whom leadership honors have fallen. Quinn is abvut the only Baltimore player who leads, and he is a utility man, but who will gain- say the fact that the Orioles, one and ali, belong in the front rank? The same can be said of Boston and New York. The Wasnington players, as expected, make a poor showing in the fielding avetages, but in almost every position they have companions that are classed as stars in the base ball world, and this fact alone demonstrates that the player who takes care of his record is not a valuable man to his club. Tucker fs only six points under Tenney as a first baseman, yet compare the difference in the men ‘who did the throwing to the two men. At second base the Washington club has no claims, as De- Mont {s new to the position, but even at that he led O'Brien by twelve points and is three points better than Childs. At third base Charley Reilly is right up with the band wagon, leading men lke McGraw, Cress, Hartman, Shindle and Everett. The Senators’ poorest record is around short- stop. DeMont undoubtedly had an off year in that position aud Wrigley, being in and ont of the game, could not do himself jus- tice. Behind the bat, Farrell and McGuire are well to the fore, not leading the vro- cession, but well up, and have for com- $ Bergen and Robinson. These four ers béing bunched around tenth place conclusively the value of fielding average: Among the fielders, Nance leads, but so did Bill Hassamaer when he was with Washington on the strength of not going after anytning he was not sure of ing. Gettmen is our best man in that department, as he made only two errors in thirty-seven games, while Selbach, play- ing out almost the entire string of games, leads Kelley of Baltimore by one point. Tom brown is away down in the averages, but yet has such cracker-jacks beneath him as Anderson, Decker, Wagner, Dowd, McCreary and Holme: The standing of the Washington players iven below for ready reference and is tollows: a Farrell, cat MeGuiri Tucker, first bast DeMonireville, [Stam right tied: , left field Brown, ‘center field: Name. au, Cl Douglass, St. Vi c Tucker, Lat .

Seven thousand people witnessed a most exciting and closely contested base ba!l game between the Orioles and Ail-Ameri- cens at Kansas City yes , the former winning by the score of G to 4. Both pitchers were very effective, but Corbett, for Baltimore, carried off the honors, strik- ing out seven men, and proving excep- tionally good at critical times. A striking feature of the game was the work of Doyle at first, ard Donohue, catcher of the All-Americans, they being credited with all the put outs in the first six in- nirgs. Other features were Griffin's home run, in the first, and Jennings’ excellent work at short. Brush and the St. Louis Club. A special from Cincinnati says that the belief prevails there that John T. Brush, the Cincinnati base ball magnate, has ar- rived at some agreement with Chris Von der Ahe, whereby the future of the Browns is assured. All season, it ts said, the owner of the Reds sought to secure an interest in the St. Louis club, but Von Jer Ahe steadfastly refused his advances. Sev- eral shake-up3 in the St. Louis team were productive of no good, however, and it is generally known that Von der Ahe's finan- cial condition became desperate as the sevson drew to a close. Many league mas- nates did not hesitate to announce that they would reject uny appeal for financial help from the owner of the Browns. Un- der the stress of these circumstances, it is thovght that Von der Ahe yielded and transferred a block of St. Louis stock to Brush. In confirmation of this belief, the extensive drafting operations of the Cin- cinnati owner are pointed ont. The fact that Brush paid for the Indianapolis con- tirgent in cash, and that Watkins severed his connection with the Hoosiers at the time of Brush’s purchase are looked upon as links of evidence significance to the followers of base ball. A dozen players could easily be transferred to St. Louis in the spring and a strong team built up for Ven der Ahe. John T. Brush is likely to remain in the background, clipping the coupons on his St. Louis stock and pulling the strings cn two league clubs. WHIST. Matches for the Auxi Saturday. The Atlantic Association will journey to Jersey City next Saturday, ffty players strong, and tackle New Jersey for the auxiliary whist trophy. Washington will send six, Baltimore eight, Walbrook four, and Wilmington four, and Philadelphia will furnish the number necessary to fill the quota. New Jersey has to furnish enough to compete with every player sent. This will be a pair contest, as every player keeps his partner through the match. The play between the clubs of these cities will later on, as a schedule is being arranged, test the merits of each club preparatory to acting on Milton C. Work’s suggestion that the play of the next congress for the Hamilton trophy be narrowed down to the clubs in each section. hia has more strong whist play- ers than any city in the United States, and the clubs have offered inducements in the pe of prizes, every whist event is calculated to bring out whist players the highest order. There is whist every night, and unconnected pairs are invited to participate. The ladies’ Thursday nights are particularly attractive on ac- count of the prizes offered for the mixed pair contest, which is exciting such rivalry that out-of-town partners are often selected on account of the star players being booked weeks ahead. Baltimore, too, has had a whist boom, and the Wednesday contests of fours fin six or eight teams engaged in practice. Friday night is compass whist, and all partners are drawn by lot, and a handsome prize is the incentive for high scores. The C. Bi C. has not designated any players to represent it at Jersey City next Saturday. The C. A. C. will have six players, Wooten and Walls, Lewis and Safford, Beden and Swearengen. The team contest Wednesday night developed some very fine play. Hampton, Wells and Kon- drup were in great form. Contests among the ladies take place every night, Mrs. Stephens holding her own in several duplicate matches. Mrs. McCrea and Mrs. Earle have some sur- prises in store for some of the knowing ones. Mrs. Nichols and Mrs. Austin are a formidable pair, and are tricks stronger than when they went to the woman's con- gress. E In the announcement of the style of play in the recent match at Baltimore with the Newark team there was not a word menticned of the “invitation” game on the part of the New Jersey team. This is a trump-showing game, the small cards being graded. The lowest of a suit led means strength in trumps, not strong enough to lead them, but capable of a great game if partner can give any as- sistance In his initial sult or trumps. If partner captures first trick he must re- turn trump at once. If partner is weak he should lead a supporting card in an- other suit, unless he has two good cards in partner’s original suit capable of es- tablishing it on the second round. Frame No. 3 in the Baltimore-Newark game is given to show the importance of being in the lead when there are four trumps in your adversary’s hand. New Jersey at trick one opens the game with the invitation to his partner, if he has any trump strength, to return trump at once. South being weak in trumps tries to make a re-entry card good in his partner’s hand by leading the queen of hearts, and had the Baltimore player playing west at trick three returned the heart he had a chance to gain four or five tricks in case north took the force. At table 2 New Jersey plays at east, opens trump at trick three and does not make another trick. ‘Trump 3 spades; leader North. North. East. South.

Interest In the games of the District DON’T DELAY; ALWAYS ON TIME, FOR PRE: ‘vention ts better than cure. All coughs and colds and such of the throat and as kad to fare cored, by Dr Ball's consumption Amateur Bowling League increases as the date of the opening of the season draws near. This year the league starts with brighter prospects than ever before, and as the teams, with the exception of the Columbia Athletic Club, have already been selected and are practicing steadily to- gether, the men will start in well seasoned for the winter's work. The selection of the C. A. C. team was delayed on account of repairs on the club's alleys, which pre- vented practice bowling by the men. In all of the clubs entries were made by mem- bers wishing te compete for places on the teams, and after a series of about twenty games the five men with the best averages for the series were selected. The league rules, which have been thoroughly revised and brought up to date, permit any tain to place a substitute in the game at any time, if he thinks his team may be strengthened by such a move, so the pre ent personnel of the teams may be some- what altered. This possibility will, of course, be an extra inducement to the play- ers to always put forth their best effo Last year the league cot ted of but three clubs, the Carroll Institute, Washing- ton Saengerbund and Washington Athletic Club. The Saengerbund bowlers won the championship after a series of interesting games lasting throughout the entire win- ter. The addition of the Columbia Athletic Club this year and the recent admission of an entirely new organization, the South Washington Business Men's Bowling Club, will naturally tend to heighten the intere: in the contest. The officers of the leacue are Messrs. Anthony Rice of the Carroll Institute, president: A. F. Jorss, Washing- ton Saengerbund, vice president, and H. L. De Ya, Columbia Athletic Club, secretary. Penna., Princeton, Yal Won Their Games. Although Lafayette defeated Pennsylva nia last year, the game Saturday between these two colleges demonstrated beyond much doubt that this year Lafayette is not in the same class with Pennsylvania. The ted and blue won Saturday by a score of 48 to 0, and completely outclassed Lafay- ette at every point. The Lafayette team fought well, but it availed them nothing. Ceptain Minds, for Pennsylvania, put up @ sensational game at full back, and to his work is due the great victory of Penn- sylvania’s team. He made six of the touch- downs. The crowd to see the game num- bered 18,000 persons. Princeton defeated Cornell Saturday in a stubbornly fought game by a score of 10 to 0. The game was a fine exhibition of sclentific foot ball, but Cornell could not stand Princeton’s tremendous weight. A crowd of nearly 8,000 persons was on hand to see the game. Although Yale defeated the Indians Sat- urday ir a well-played game, the sons of Eli could not keep the red men from scor- ing. The best they could do was 24 to ¥. The game was one of the cleanest contests ever played, being entirely without slug- ging or anything like a serious injury. The feature of the game was a goal kicked frcm the field by Hudson from the :s-yard ine. H. Pierce, ceptain of the Indian team, says that judging by the game of Saturday the Tigers are much stronger than the Yale team. As was expected, the Columbia Athletic Club of this city was defeated by the Orange Athletic Club at Orange. The score was 24 to 0. The game was well play and was interesting, and the C. A. C. showed the result of careful trainin practice, but superior play and weig part of the Orange team prevailed. The Harvard team showed a surprising reversal of form Saturday, and defeated the Brown eleven by a score of Is to 0. The crimson line held like a rock, while in the offensive work good gains were made at every trial. The play of the crimson team probably surpassed anything seen on a Harvard gridiron for many a day.

Dondrero, left half; E. Burns, right end; Cossor, right tackle; E. Chauncey, right guard; B. Bocock, left guard; B. Graham, left tackle; W. Brush, quarter back; W. Spellhouse, center. The team would like to hear from any foot ball team whose average weight is not over 120 pounds. Address Manager C. P. Clark, Florida avenue northwest. An interesting gzme of foot ball took place recently on Dupont field between the eighth grade of the Force School and the third Lafayettes, which resulted in a vic- tory for the Lafayettes, 8 to 0. The fea- tere of the game was the tackling by Poe and Walters of the Lafayeites, and the running of Suton and Leighton of the same club, each making a touchdown.

Mr. Thomas kept up the fight until all the pieces were off the board, but Mr. Hodges queened a pawn first and, of course, won.

It is not possible, hewever, to make comparisons and draw correct conclusions from these results as to the relative merits of these players in simultaneous play. Where there are a great number of players the exhibition is prolonged until a late hour, and players often lose owing to their desire to end the game and get home. For instance, in his game with Pillsbury, Mr. F. M. Wright, then District champion, who had played splendidly and had four pawns against two, in his hurry to finish, by a blunder allowed one of Mr. Piiisbury’s pawns to queen, and thereby give the latter an un- earned victory. Mr. Hodges made a number of friends during his brief stay in this city, who will watck with increased interest his future career as a chess player. From here he went to Pittsburg, where he will give an exhibition this evening.
