COLLEGE BOATING NEXT YEAR. Speculation Regarding the Contests in Eights. Recent reports to the effect that Ya.e would challenge Cornell University to a four-mile eight-oared race next year have started general discussion among lovers of aquatics of a meeting of college crews. Yale has not yet taken any action in the matter. Inquiry is being made at New London as to the inducements that may be The Merning Loaf Is the most important part of the y’s food.

This arrangement would be eminently fair for the three crews interested, it 1s admitted, were there net other considera- t s. Cornell and Columbia have been rivals on the water for over twenty years, and the New York city men nave pee found worthy antagonists. Cornell wou ret willingly give up a race with umbia, yet a third four-mile contest on the Thames course could rot be contemplated. Then Pennesylvania and Cornell have hed an annual race in eights for years, and the friendliest relations are maint: ed. Yet Cornell could not row Yale, Harvard, Co- lumbia and Pennsylvania in four different races at New London, nor couid Cornell row two races at New London and a third race at Poughkeepsie. Consequently Cor- reli is placed in a peculiar position. The Cornslians want to row Yale and Harvard, but they do not want to abandon Coium- bia and Pennsylvania. It may be that the New London course will be found wide enough for three crews to race four miles. Yale men claim that there is room. In that event Yale, Harvard and Cornell might meet in one contest, and Columbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania in an- other. The freshman crews of the five | universities could make the same arrange- ment. When ice covers the Thames this winter the New London course will be re- surveyed, and this interesting question may be settled. Prof. Wheeler cf Cornell, the faculty member of the athletic council, is reported as saying of Cornell’s plans: “The sportsmen throughout the country have urged that there be a quintangular regatia held the coming year between Cor- nell, Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Univer- sity of Pennsylvan'a. Such a plain presents many disadvantages. In the first place, the crews are trained for a four-mile race.

THOMAS A, HOWARD'S FUNERAL. A Welt-Knéoen! Masoid and Confed- erate Veteran Buried Today, °!''’ The announcement of the death-af Mr. Thomas AllenyHowerd in The Star of yes- ter@ay was distressing to hts iarge citcle of friends an@ acquaintances in this eity and elsewheré. H'ving held a position of trust in the drpg establishment of Dr. W. S. Thompson ‘for fgarly thirty years, few men in Washington were better known and hone more aéthired for sterling quali- ties, gentie nature and genial disposition.

Numbered among his host of friends and admirers were numerous Union veterans, between him and many of whom very strong ties of friendship existed, Mr. Howard was born in Powhatan county, Virginia, and married a daughter R, Finley Hunt, once a widely- known dentist of this city, now retired. His wife and two children, a boy and gicl, and a sister survive him. His ilYness' dated from March last, from’ whieh time he was practically on a decline till death relieved his suffering, through all of’ whitti’le was patienf, cheerfu! and hopeful. He was a most devoted husband and an affectionate father, regarding his little home circle as the magnet of life’s charms and pleasures. He was a_prominerit’ mem- ber of Confederate Camp, No. 171, of Wash- ington, and was abreast with the foremost, of his comrades in their efforts to care for and assist needy and dependent fellow veterans and their families. He was also a Knight Templar, by which order the funeral services, which took place at his late residence, 4735 17th street northwest, this afternoon; at 3 o'clock, were conduct- ed. He was a member of Acacia Lodge, No. 18, A. F. and A. M.; Eureka Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, and Washington Com- mandery, No. 1, Knights Templar. Rev.

Lecture and Schedule of Future Events. “To Laugh, to Be Cheerful, to Be Happy,” was the subject of a lecture by Mr. J. Arthur Schlichter of Harrisburg, Pa., at the Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation rooms last Wednesday evening. This is the second time Mr. Schlichter has addressed the association. He is one of the youngest lecturers on the platform, but displays a marked talent. Every one in attendance was well pleased. The entertainment committee of the asso- clation, of which Mr. Frank S. Browne is chairman, contemplates providing a series of everts, complimentary to the mem- bers, for Wednesday evenings during the winter. The first of these will probably be given in two weeks. Different churches will furnish the programs, which will com- bine musical and literary features. ‘Tomcrrow afternoon Mr. A. Forder, a native Arabian, will present a stereopticon lecture on Arabia at the association rooms. This will take the place of the usual meet- ing for men, and all, especially ladies in- terested in missions, are cordially invited. The lecture will: begin at 4 o'clock. 2 bc BOLH!

GOSSIP REGARDING THE WASHINGTONS Discussing Wagner's Recent $30,- 000 Offer to Philadelphia. subject can be brought to a successful con- clusion. Mr. Wagner is not an admirer of a player who can hit the ball up around 360 or 370 and in other departments of the game be a drag on the other players of a team. With a man hittirg around 300, a good base runner, a good fielder and able to play the game between the lines, his work far outshines the slugger in the way of benefitting his club. Last season the Washington club lost thirty-eight games by one run, and in over half of them Mr. Wagner recalled cases of stupid play that would have landed the victory for the Sen- ators had they been properly played or played with intelligence. Now, take only one-fourth of these games as being won through playing the game as men drawing salaries should play, and add the number to those won on the season by the Wash- ingtons, and they would have been up near third place, if not in it. Mr. Wagner claims that it does not require an extraordinary amount of intelligence to play the game, but simply intelligence enough to tell the player that he is bettering the club and himself by listening to his captain and obeying instructions. Players with this kind of intelligence are wanted by the Washington club, and in the shifting out process next spring they will undoubtedly be given the preference. Here is a unique wager made by Manager Arthur Irwin of the Toronto club with Mr. Earle Wagner at the recent annual meet- ing of the National League in Philadelphia. Messrs. Wagner and Irwin were the center of a group of base ball and newspaper men when the new players secured by the Washington club from Toronto came up for discussion. In the ccurse of the con- versation Mr. Irwin said to Mr. Wagner: “I will bet you a fifty-dollar suit of clothes and let you decide the bet that Jimmy Mc- Hale turns out next season to be the great- est ball player you ever saw. I have been in base hall a long while, witnessed the vork of Jimmy Fogarty, Curt Welch, the Langes and the Keelers, and if McHale is not a better man than any of them to your mind, I lose my bet. He may not bat as hard as Lange or Delehanty, but playing the game between the line: that is, in fielding, base running and playing the fine points of the game at critical gtages of the game, he is better than any one of the players I have named. Taking McHale from a minor league and placing him in faster company will cut no ice with Mac. He is born for fast company, and will stay there.” In speaking of this wager during the past week Mr. Wagner said to an Evening Star reporter: “Mr. Irwin, my brother and I have been on very close personal and business terms for a couple of years back, and through us last season Arthur made more money in one season than he ever did before, and I have no reason to doubt his sincerity in this prediction. From other sources the same glowing accounts come to me of McHale’s ability, and if but half what is said of him comes true I will be perfectly satisfied.” From present surface indications it looks very much as if the man to guard third base for the Washington club next season has been selected. This man is Tommy Leahy, the utility man of last season. Tommy played third base for the Senators during the closing games in Baltimore and astonished everybody by his fine work. Captain Brown instructed Leahy to play close up on the grass so as to kill off the bunting tactics of the Orioles, which has heretofore proved so disastrous for the Senators. Leahy obeyed instructions to the letter, and bunting was crossed off the visiting list during the series by the birds But hot sizzlers went down to third during that series, and, strange to say, but few got away. All sluggers looked alike to Tommy, although a drive from Joe Kelley’s bat carried him clean off his feet, but he held on to the ball. Instead of being in- timidated he was right back in his old place for the next play and killed Keeler at first in the next inning on one of his famous bunts. Leahy is a natural born hit- ter and will still do better next season. He is a good base runner and undoubtedly plays the game between the lines. There are some people who rush into print without stopping to examine tine sub- ject they wish to discuss. One base ball writer, without investigating the details of the new schedule of the big league, says: “A point which is bothering many base ball cranks is how in a four-trip schedule a.team can play two games in eaché series with every other team, in which case each would play 176 games instead of the stipu- lated 154. Itewould mean a total series of sixteen games away from home and a like number at home. Seven not being divisible by four in such a way as to permit of the playing of two games in each series, ar- rangements may be made in some cases whereby eight will be played on one ground and six on the other. In the majority of instances, however, the schedule will be so arranged that on three of the trips two games will be played, and on the fourth and last only one.” This point is not bothering base ball cranks who have taken the trouvie to in- vestigate. In the first place the different teams are not going to. make four visits a season to each city. It is true that they will make four trips each way, but they will only play half the cities of each di- vision on each trip. They will play three games on one trip and four on the other. Sevefl games in each city means fourteen games with each club, and this multinlied ty eleven gives the schedule of 154 games. There will be no trouble about understand- ing the schedule once it is completed by President Yeung and turned over to the newspapers. Magnate Earle Wagner’s offer to take $30,000 and permit the Philadelphia club to have the pick of twenty players from both teams or to pay $3,000 for the privilege of p:cking his choice of the players from both organizations, may sound a little visionary to an outsider, says try Weldon in the Cincinnati Enquirer. These give or take propositions always seem to be off: cast. They have the air that surrounds a trick bet. J. Earle meant just what he said, however, and the proposition, taken either way, would doubtless have proven a good thing for the Washington club. There are @ number of shrewd magnates, notably John T. Brush, president of the Cincinnati club, and Charles Byrne of the Brooklyn cluh, who give the legislative end of base ball any amount of thought. When it comes to legislation these two men are considered the master minds of the league. None of them has ever given the players’ end of the business the study that Mr.Wag- ner does. Most of the magnates leave the study of players to thetr respective man- agers. Mr. Wagner delves right down into it. He has the record and inside pocket he car- ries a printed list of President Young’s of- ficial averages. On a he LOUISVILLE’S NEW DEAL Intelligence will play an important part in the Washington Base Ball Club next season if Mr. Earle Wagner's idea on this SP Er ar aur nEynnPaPTaPPeaP nye nnPnnP Un nePUePnerear ra ee ne aces enn TENCsunsncnsn sens SLOSS DST STIS nnn unten ISN nnn OOS nn nen ee end suited. The manager of the team Jiked the tone of the letter, and was in favér of giv- ing the boy a‘trial, as it required no great Wherality, the player naving stipulated that he was to get nothing if his work proved unsatisfactery. A man by the name of Sam Mills at that time was playing on the Mobile club, and as he hailed from East Liverpeol he was asked about the boy. Mills said the youngster wouldn't do for the company, and his cpinion prevailed. Thus did the Mobile club turn down Mer- cer, now the star of the Washington club, and one of the most gentlemanly fellows that ever donned a base ball uniform. The Louisvilie correspondent of the St. Louis Sporting News says in this week's paper’ that before the week is out the the shape of a deal whereby three star league club. There are no players to be given in exchange—simply a cash trans- action, and the price will run away up in the five figures. The club will not, of been working on the deal for months and finally got the parties concerned to an agreeing point. The three players sought for rank with the best men in the business and will add great strength to the Colonels. Now guess the club that is gojng to do the selling. It should not be a very hard thing to get a true Ime on the- magnate whe wants to let out a trio of supposed good ones for a big wad of the long green. Per- haps lake breezes give an aristocratic curl to his hair. With the latitude which the new rules give avout transferring games, how many games will Chris’ Misfits play in St. Louis next season? No more long finishes at home such as Baltimore had in 1897 or extended trips abroad during the closing days. The last seven weeks of last season were spent on the road by the Reds. A worse handicap could not have been imposed upon Ewing’: team. It was sidetracked for a whole year, but at last the ball players know why their contracts reach from April 15 to October 15. Six months of servitude some will say, but salaries with such salaries as most of them draw would be hailed with delight by a majority of the lawyers and doctors. The four-trip schedule will cause Presi- dent Young many sleepless nights. It will be a miracle, indeed, if he succeeds in isfying everybody and escapes criticism. Personal advantage and not the good of ull is the watchword of the moguls. It would be the greatest compliment ever the chief executive officer of prof. jonal base bell if his skeleton of the National League schedule for 1898 should be adopted without amendment. The petty practice which has generally obtained among the club owners of pro- testing against the assignment of t or that umpire to officiate at their parks will be done away with under the plan of sched- uling the umpires. There is no reason why an urapire who officiates satisfactorily in twelfth city. Prejudice against the um- Tires is attributable to partizanship. It is rarely that a charge of dishonesty is made against @ member of President Young’s staff and its absurdi parent that it carries no weight with it. Protest will be unavailing when the secret schedule which President Young prepares goes into effect and no favorites can be played. Pool Match Between Experts. A pool match of 400 points, at 20) balls each evening, has been arranged between Ed. Dougherty of Philadelphia and Irving Long of Chicago, to take place at Scan- lon’s rooms, on 9th street, November 29 and 30. The match is to be played on the regulation 5x10 table.
