Charles Washington, a young colored man, was convicted yesterday afternoon in Criminal Court No. 1 of highway robbery in snatching a pocket book from Miss Blanche Brenner the evening of the 11th of last September. Chief Justice Bingham re- manded Washington to jail to await sen- tence, notice of a motion for a new trial having been made. Miss Brenner testified that she was walk- ing on Rhode Island avenue between 7th and 8th streets, ubout 9 o'clock in the even- ing, when Washington stepped in front of her, knocking her down by striking her on the side of the head. He then snatched her Pocket book and ram off. Although the defendant attempted to establish an alibi, he was positively identified as her assail- ant by Miss Brenner. The penalty for the offense is imprisonment in ‘the penitentiary at hp-d labor for not Jess than three nor m<e than seven years, —_-+-—_ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.

The Georgetown branch of the Associated Charities has not as yet begun active work, though it will only be a matter of a few days before everything is ready. The branch has no office at hand which can be used, and the first step to be taken is fo secure suitable quarters.

Negotiations Regarding Collegiate Boat Racing. —_+___ HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL —__+—__. A special from Newark, N. J., says that “Deaccn George C. Eilis of the Atlantic League severed his connection with that organization last night by selling the New- ark club, of which he was the sule owner, to Tom Burns, the former Brooklyn pley- er, who !ast season managed the Hartford club. The consideration was yarge and strictly cash, but the price is secret. The sale includes everything in connec- tion with the club, including contract and reserve rights of the players of last sea- son, also several Western League men which Ellis signed since the close of the season, the only exception being that in case “Rasty” Wright purchases an interest in any professional base ball club he is to he released Ellis’ object in selling was that he may go to his home in Grand Rap- ids, where he has other enterprises. Burns, although a native Philadelphian, has made Newark his home for many years and in 1896 managed and captained the team in Newark which won the Atlantic League pennant. He has been practicaily a Newarker since 1886, when he was a member of the famous “Little Giants, most of whcm went to Baltimore before the close of the season. His wide acquain- tance and his great popularity should en- able him to make his new venture a profit- able one. In future old “Good Eye” will be known as the playing owner, manager and captain. Base Ball Notes. Manager Hanlon yesterday wired Presi- dent Young that he had accepted the terms of a pitcher by the name of Hughes of San Francisco. Hughes recently pitched against the Baltimore club in California and held the tourists down to a few hits, his elub winning by the score of 4 to 3. Hughes’ work favorably impressed the Oriole players, and they recommended him to Hanlon, with the above result. The all-Americans and Baltimores play- ed in San Francisco yesterday for the ben- efit of a charitabie institution, the former winning by the score of 6 to 2. The All- Americans made 8 hits and 1 error, while the Baltimore made 6 hits and 5 errors. The batteries were Rhines and Smith for the All-Americans and Pond and Donohue for the Baltimores. A long-distance throw- ing contest was also held, Lange of the All- Americans winning, throwing the ball 115 yards and 2 feet. President Von Der Ahe fully expects Tim Hurst to be his manager. He recently sald: “I have not yet chosen my manager for 1898, but my offer to Tim Hurst was sincere, and if he will accept my figure the job is his. And I will add, further, that if they agree with what I think they are worth, Mr. Hurst will in all probability be connected with the St. Louis Browns as manager next year. Ned Hanlon and those other fellows don’t like the idea of me hiring a man like Hurst. They think he fs too much of a scrapper. When Han- lon heard I was going to engage Tim he said: ‘I'd Mke to catch Tim Hurst manag- ing a ball team. He would just about in- corporate a few Queensberry gags in his system of runring a nine. The bench would never be without boxing gloves so long as Tim sat on it.” But I don’t care what Hanlon or any one else says, you've got to fight to get along nowadays even in base ball.” “Pink” Hawley was in Cincinnati Mon- day and held a conference with Captain- Manager Ewing and Treasurer Lloyd of the Cincinnati club on the salary question. Hawley received $2,400 for playing with Pittsburg last season, and wants a raise for his services with the Cincinnatis next season. Ewing and Lloyd told “Pink” pos- itively that the raise would not be forth- coming, but the latter left the same night for Indianapolis to see President Brush on the matter. Yesterday these two men had a long confab in the latter city, but up to a late hour last night the result of the conference could not be learned. As Haw- ley has made a kick for an increase, it is now expected that Elmer Smith, also secured from Pittsburg, will fall in line and also demand more salary. Smith also received the Hmit, $2,400, from Pittsburg. All reports to the contrary notwithstand- ing, it looks from this distance that if these two mer hold out for the increase the additional salary will be forthcoming before the season opens next spring. The Cincinnati club simply cannot do without these men. IVES EASILY BEATS DALY. Mecting of the Billiard Expgrts in New York. In the great meeting of the billiard ex- perts at Madison Square Garden, N. Y., last night between Franck C. Ives and Maurice Daly, the former won by a score of 500 to 256. “The Napoleon” outclassed the New Yorker and Daly never had a show of winning from the start. Before the ‘tournament started many Predictions were made that an average of 25 would be made but from the way things are going it is doubtful if any of the play- ers are able to average 20, for the game is only a shade less difficult than cushion caroms. The champion averaged 13 19-37, the highest thus far, but could not beat Schaef- er’s high run of 79. Monday night Ives, however, made 64 and would have probably eclipsed ‘the “Wizard’s” record but for falling down on an easy shot. The score follows: Ives—1 5 0 8101110192 2715 21 7 22 10 2 38 15 276177 38 8 30 11 3 2-500. Average, 13 19-37. Daly-9 7440800102 2% 1 67211181 1613 19 1722103 242 Average, 7.19. In the game between George F. Slosson and George Sutton in the afternoon, Slos- sen won the lead.and chose the white ball. As the game progressed Slosson’s superior skill was visible, and Sutton seemed to lcse nerve with defeat staring at him. In the sixty-ninth he braced up for 24, and in the seventy-second he made a grand rally and made a run all over the table for 53, a “skyrocket” ending it.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 1.—Joe Choymski of San Francisco and Jim Jef- fries of Los Angeles fought twenty rounds to a draw last night before the National Club. Choyinski conceded fifty pounds in weight, and on this account was compelled to draw on his superior ring generalship and long experience at the game to avuld the rushes of his giant opponent. Jeffries, who displayed much improvement in the art of defense and attack, still lacks in ex- perience. He failed to follow up on Choy- inski when an opportunity afforded. On the other hand, Cheyinski fought with ex- cellent judgraent. Even his oldest admirers were surprised at his generalship. He avoided clinching, except when absolutely necessary, and his ducking marvelous. He depended almost entirely on left jabs on the nose and mouth to stop the big fel- low, and after the eleventh round kept blood flowing frcm Jeffries’ nose. In the second round Jeffries brought Choyinski down with a left swing on the neck, which left Joe flat on his back. The blow was in- effective, however, and Joe arose as strong as before. Referee Jim McDonald's decision was sat- isfactory to the crowd of 5,000 persons. Neither Scored at Hampton. The Howard University foot ball team played the Hygeia A. C. team at Hampton, Va., Saturday, the game resulting in nei- side scoring. The average weight of the Hygeias was twenty-two pounds more than that of the Howards.
