The Philadelphia and Washing- ton clubs owners reside in the Quaker city, and, of course, will be “Charley on the spot.” This meeting will be important in every sense of the word, as the umpire question, rowdyism on the fleld, three trips east and west by the clubs and claims to eifferent players will be settled, and in ad- Gition it is expected that several sensa- tional deals in players will be pulled off. The umpire question comes first, and is the most important. Influential papers in every city in the country, whether rep- resented in the National or minor leagues, have been urging the adoption of the dou- ble umpire system, and if the magnates who rule the future of base ball are as wise as they are reputed to be, they will employ the larger force of arbitrators for next season. With two umpires on the field the kicking by both spectators and players is reduced to a minimum. With an umpire standing almost directly over a play his decisions carry such force that even should his verdict be unjust the play- er is forced to accept it without a grum- ble, as the spectators will be with the ar- bitrator, knowing him to be honest and trying to do his best. The same applies to the umpire behind the plate. He has nothing else to do but watch the ball come over the plate and plays at the plate only, and with this point in view his work can- not help but be satisfactory to the pitchers 2s well as the onlookers. There is no doubt that only the expense prevents the adop- tion of the double ‘umpire system. This expense, of course, cannot be sneezed at by men in the game for business as well as pleasure, as a conservative estimate places the additional outlay at fully $12,000. Add this amount to the salaries already vaid the six men employed as arbitrators, about $15,000, and it can be seen that it takes a good round sum to insure fair play to the national game. These figures, of course, include the traveling expenses of the um- Pires. While $25,000 is a large bunch of the “‘long green,” the double umpire system should be adopted as a recompense to the thousands upon thousands of spectators, who put up with many inconveniences to witness base ball games, and whose wel- fare and pleasure should cut the largest figure in the eyes.of the magnates. The second most important question will be rowdyism on the field. To obliterate this nuisance the magnates should place a curb on the “dark lantern” methods of managers who are on the players’ bench during the games. Tebeau has the repu- tation of being a great objector, but his work is fair and above board, and can easily be controlled. It is the managers on the benches whose, voices cannot be heard by the spectatofs that cause the trouble. Last season during one of the Baltimore-Washington games the writer overheard. Manager Hanlon continually “nagging” ~at Umpire Sheridan until the poor fellow, although trying to do his best, didn’t know whether he was standing on his head or feet. ‘fhe ®riole players also acted very, badly in-that series, and their work was a direct result jpf Hanlon’s coach- ing. “Buck” Ewing is another one of the clever (?) managers with dark lantern methods whose resting--place is on the bench. -His work ‘with! Carpenter in this city was on the\same:lines as those adopt- ed by Hanlon in deaifng with Sheridan. Washington is ehe city out of twelve in the big league, and’ thesé managers, to say nothing of Joyce while on the bench, Selee and Stallings, certainly contributed more than the share coming to them in the way of creating disturbances on the field. Of course these men cannot be barred from the. players’ bench, but com- pel them to gonfine their remarks to the Players and.‘a big improvement in the cleanliness of the game will most assured- ly be noted. The three trips between the eastern and western cities instead of two, although a good thing en paper will naturally fail on account of the expense. As it is now it takes a mathematician with an eagle eye to assign the dates of the different clubs so as to reduce the traveling ex- penses as much as possible, and even then there are kicks developed by several club managers in the spring when the schedule is given out. As Uncle Bill Soden of the Bostons says, “'Thcse western clubs can hardly stand the expense of one trip east, let alone three.” The claims before the arbitration com- mittee for players that have been bought from the minor league clubs while under contract to a second party will no doubt prove interesting to those inside the in- ner circle. The most important claim so far developed is the one put forward by President Kerr of the Pittsburg club for Second Baseman Eagan, who was with Syracuse during the past season. Player Eagan has given it out that he would not play with Pittsburg, and for this reason he was traded to Brooklyn. But President Kerr appears to have the best of the argu- ment, and even should Eagan refuse to go to the smoky city that club should be entitled to his services !f for no other pur- pose than to make-trades that would be advantageous to the Pirates. The other claims are of such a nature that the par- ties Interested can come to an understand- ing after a half hour’s conversation. Outside of the official business mentioned above the spectators or “fans” will be more interested in the expected trade of players that will be consummated in the corridors of the hotel. It makes good reading to go over the contemplated trades and releases that have been reported by the newspapers since the playing season closed. Boston comes first. to be traded or sold. Brooklyn follows with a general mix-up. Griffin, Lachance, Smith, Shindte and Grim being the players marked for other climes and clubs. New York may let out Tiernan, Park Wilson and Dohehey, and wants to take in a new third baseman and a catcher, both of the first class. Philadelphia is a cryptogram of the most puzzling nature. ‘The owners of this club have so far lost so many good men that to mention further t qr purchases almost takes their breath away. Yet trades must ve made by this club and important ones, too.

Another young pitcher said to have been signed by Earle Wagner is Edward Conniff, a left-hander, who did the twirling for a club away down in Ala- bama last season. A writcr by the name of John Knox, hailing from Lexington, Ga., wrote to Substitute Umpire Heydler re- cently about Conniff, saying that he offered to bet Vanderbeck of Detroit last season that he would make a better record than Hahn, a pitcher who did great work in the Western League. Knox says that Manager Vanderbeck released Conniff without giving him @ show, and says that he is willing to back Conniff against Hahn again next sea- son. Conniff is said to be a very gentle- manly fellow, and a first-class pitcher, who has control and speed to throw away. It is to be hoped that the rumored signing of Conniff will prove true. President Young was recently asked what ho thought of the plan of making out a schedule for his umpires as proposed by Captains Anson, Ewing and _ Tebeau. “Uncle Nick” did not think the plan would Operate acceptably, because certain um- pires are unpopular in some cf the cities and the club owners insist that the objec- tionable handlers of the indicators shall not be assigned to thoee cities. It is som=- times absolutely necessary to use the finest kind of diplomacy th the assignment ef the umpires. Only those who have had experi- ence in that direction can realize how easy it is to make suggestions and how difficult it is to satisfy some of the demands made upon President .Young in connection with the umpire question. Base Ball Briefs. Umpire Charley Snyder has been offered the management of the Norfolk club next season, but hesitates about accepting, as he will be on “Uncle Nick’s” staff next season, if the double umpire system comes in to play. The offer speaks volumes for Snyder, as he umpired all last season in the Atlantic League, of which the Norfolk was a member. The New York club is reported as having signed a new pitcher by the name of Ster- line. He is twenty-two years old and weighs 185 pourds. The slow delivery of Cy. Swaim and Jimmy McJames is said to have been re- spcnsible for many of the Senators’ de- feats, stolen bases by opponents assisting inaterially in winning games.—Exchange. Selbach firmly believes that the Washing- ton team will be in the first division next year from start to finish of the jeague race. John T. Brush, the 33-count *em-33” magnate, who convinced his associates that he has no interest in the Indianapolis Club, is keeping a close eye on Western League affairs. ‘The good of the game requires his presence in Chicago when the Western League meets. The “33-count ‘em nate knows his business and never neglects it, President Freedman has not_ repeated his charges against President Young and “murderous” Cincinnati! players for several weeks, and must be getting rusty in bis nes. President Young has not for- gotton and will demand an inquiry at the hands of the league directors. Base ball has revived with a vengeance in California, and San Francisco once more has the fever in most virulent form. The winter league games at the new Recreation Park are the principal attractions every Sunday, but week day games are played by amateurs of all kinds. The Baltimore- All-America tourists should do well out there for themselves, and also help ma- terlally toward strengthening the revival of the game on the coast. Ed. Hanlon declares that he is bitterly opposed to rowdyism and useless abuse of umpires. Let him practice in 1898 what he is now preaching. Hanlon hounded one of the best of President Young’s staff of umpires out of the business in 1897. He charged that Sheridan was drunk on the field at Cincinnati and failed to prove the charge to the satisfaction of President Young. Sheridan’s troubles dated from the attack made on him by Hanlon and his aggressive Orioles and it was not long be- icre he retired in disgust in order to escape the abuse which “no good man deserves or brave man will bear.” With Hanlon con- verted and enlisted in the fight for decency on the diamond, one is reminded that “While the lamp holds out to burn The vilest sinner may return.” —Sporting News. —_—_>__ “OLD GLORY” THE CLOSING THEME. Last Service of Anti-Saloon °97 Re- vival Series. “If you would see my monument, look around you,” quoted Dr. L. B. Wilson last night as he began the last address of the series of addresses under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League. His theme was “Old Glory,” and his text was in evidence on all sides of the auditorium of Foundry Church, where the meetings have all been held. The stars and stripes were used ex- clusively for decorations, apart from the league's motto, “The Saloons Must Go,” on a streamer above the platform, and the banners and symbols of affillated bodies. ‘Twenty-six large flags were in view, two being of the largest size manufactured, and one of these was placed upon the wall facing the speaker. Dr. Wilson said he was there against his physician’s ordets, to show his interest in the work of the league. He spoke of “Old Glory” as suggesting the great ideas of national resources, ‘Education, liberty and the dignity of law.’ “It is fitting, therefore,” he said, “that the flag should fly over every factory and mill where the resources of the country are developed; over the little red school house and, every institution of learning: over our forts and battleships, which de- fend our national freedom, and over the Capitol and the courts, where laws are made and enforced; but it is an outrage on propriety,” he continued, amid applause, “to see ‘Old Glory’ over a saloon or a brewery or a distillery, where the resources of the nation are wasted, where the lamp of learning is extinguished.” He said the flag also represented sacri- fice; that all its glories had been bought by the suffering and death of patriots, and not by “beautiful thoughts” alone. His last suggestion was that “Old Glory symbolizes the union of many widely dif- ferent forces,” as in the Anti-Saloon ‘League. “It has never lost a star from its field of blue, and through prosperity and adver- sity they have grown from thirteen to forty-five,” was Dr. Wilson’s closing tribute. It was “Christian Endeavor evening,” and the C. E. societies furnished the pre- D. C. Union; the prelude speaker, W. W. Millan, first vice president; the the *"97 local C. E. convention chorus,” with Mr. Page L. Zimmerman, director; Mr. Harry Kimball, pianist; Miss Josie Bur- ton, soprano, and Miss Emma G. Callahan, contralto, as soloists. President Leet and Mr. Millan both ex- pressed the heartiest interest of the C. E. societies in the work of the Anti-Saloon Leagu part in it., Mr. Millan’s prelude address cluded a‘review of the federate forces, and pledged the C. E. hosts to maintain the Eosition described by the title of his talk, “Christian Endeavor the saloon.” 5 Mr. George W. made the ap- peal for funds, and Mr. Jesse C.

CURRENT LOCAL NOTES —_—_+_—__ Capt. Wells gave lis men some hard practice at Columbia Field last night, in Preparation for their fight today with the Maryland Athletic Club, and is confident that the team will make a strong showing and repeat the drubbing they administered to the Marylanders Wednesday last. Capt. Wells will probably select about the same team that went up against the Columbian ’Varsity team, and there is every indication that it will be successful. The Maryland team is weak in the line of team work, while the backs are very deficient in kick- ing. The Cclumbia line will be strong, ac- cording to reports received from the prac- tice work, and able to keep the visitors well in check. The Maryland Athletic Club line-up will be as follows: Ogier, right end; Jones or Bull, right guard; Cassard or Reese, cen- ter; Goodwin, left guard; Cochran, left tackle; Kunkle, left end; Poe, quarter back; Cabrera, right half back; Goodrich, left half back, and Wagner, full back. The C. A. C. line-up will not be decided upon till late this afternoon. The most important game in the foot ball world today is that to take place be- tween the University of Pennsylvania and the Carliste Indians, and the outcome of the contest will be awaited with the great- €st interest by all interested in the sport. A feature of the game will be the pres- ence of twenty-three dusky Indian maidens, who are in attendance at the Carlisle Training School, and who will endeavor to cheer their brethren on to victory against the warriors of Penn. The Car- lisle team is in great shape just at this time, and it would not he surprising should they score egainst Penn. On the other hand, the Pennsylvania team has been doing marvelous work, if the reports of the team are to be believed, against the scrub, and is just now fit to give battle to the strongest team that can be found. The In- dians held the Princeton team down to 1S points, and scored a touchdown and goal on Yale, so that some idea of Penn's strength may be gained from the score of the game today. The Yale team will meet the strong team frem the Chicago Athletic Club at New Haven this afternoon, and the outcome of the game is looked forward to with some anxiety by the blues’ adherents. The Chi- cago team has a reputation of playing not only hard and fast foot ball, but a rough game as well, and a defeat for the blues just now or the crippling of two or three men would be disastrous in the extreime. Princeton will meet Lafayette this after- noon, but there is not a great deal of in- terest displayed in the game. The Tigers will not have much difficulty, although the Lafayette team has been putting up a very strong game in practice for the past week. ‘The team is in fine shape, and the coaches expect to score on the yeilow ard black.

The Richmond College foot ball team was outclassed in every way by the Columbian ’Varsity team of this city in the game at Richmond yesterday, and the Washington boys won as they pleased by a score of 22 to 0. But for several bad fumbles, the "Varsity team would have rolled up a huge score, and, as it was, covered themselves with glory from start to finish. The game was rather a pretty one, not- withstanding the one-sided score. In the first half Tindall made the first touchdown in a few minutes, Lewis kicking the goal in splendid shape. Lewis himself made the second touchdown of the half just before time was called and kicked his own goal, making the score 12 to 0. The half was marked by good gains through the line and around the ends, in which all the members of the "Varsity team showed their profi- ciency, either in getting into the interfer- ence or making a hole in the enemy’s line. Richmond found Columbian’s line as solid as a rock in the second half and resorted to kicking. But Tindall got in front of the ball and, blocking it, took the oval and sprinted down the field for the third touch- down. Lewis for the first time this year missed the goal. At the kick-off following Lewis repeated his favorite trick of catch- ing the bali and then sprinting through the opposing team, and in this way made forty- five yards, dodging all but one man in the eleven opposed to him as he went. Lewis has done this feat in three consecutive games, and it deserves to rank as one of the records of the year. Just as the half was ending, with the ball on Richmond’s five-yard line, Cummings saw his oppor- tunity and, tearing a hole in the college line, made his way through for the last touchdown, from which Lewis kicked goal. Score, 22 to 0. The ball was quickly put in play again, and had the half been but one minute long- er the "Varsity team would have made an- other touchdown, so fast was their play. Although the team played five new men, the "Varsity put up a great game in every particular. Harlan, Cummings and Loucks were as solid as rocks in the line, while their offensive work in making openings for the backs to go through was fierce and, at the same time, heady. Green and Oys- ter also played a fine game, while Tindall’s gains were again a feature. Of Lewis’ game only the highest praise can be given. His exhibition of kicking, line-bucking best, according’ to report, that been seen on that field in Richmond. He seemed to cover every weak point at the same time that he played his own position, and wherever and whenever the Richmond team thought an opening could be made for a gain there they always found Lewis and there their —Truths tersely tald— —Mertz’s stock isthe largest and best varied in town. —Mertz’s prices are from 10 to 40 per cent under prevailing figures. —If an article comes from Mertz’s it’s right. —If Mertz hasn't what you want the probabilities are it can’t be had in town.

A meeting of the managers of foot ball of the classes of "99, 1900 and 1901 of Georgetown University was held a few days ago, and they arranged the following schedule for the interclass foot ball games at Georgetown Colleg: First series—Sunday, November 7, '99 agt. 1900; Wednesday, November 10, 1901 agt. "99; Saturday, November 13, 1900 agt. 1001, Second series—Wednesday, November 17, "99 agt. 1900; Saturday, November 20, 1901 agt. 99; Wednesday, November 24, 1900 agt. 1901. ‘The winners of the first and the winners of the secon¢ series will play one game for the championship. The first game will be played tomorrow, when the eleyens of ‘99 and 1909 will face each other on the gridiron. The teams are evenly matched, and it is impossible to pick the winner with certainty. 1900 has a slight advantage in weight, their giant guard, Moore, who weighs 225 pound: sending their average away up. For ‘9 T. Cullen, the captain, is the star half back, and Casey of last year’s Brown "Var- sity team is their stand-by in the line. 1900 has a very fine back field in O'Brien, Burne, Mulligan and Flynn. Their quarter back, Burne, though very light, is a clever play- er. Of the four ends, Tobin if 1900 un- doubtedly surpasses the rest, while the other three, Doyle, Horsey and O'Shea, are very good men. TROOPERS’ TEAM WON. Fine Exhibition of Polo at Fort Myer.
