Mr. David Walker of the banking house of Lewis Johnson & Co, died at his resi- den: 1534 U street, yesterday afternoon at o'clock. He had been in failiag health for a number of years, but with a remarkable display of wHl power had con- tinued at his business post until abovt two weeks ago. Mr. Walker was a man of the strictest integrity and possessed of such a winning personality as to attract and main- tain throughout a long career the admira- tion and affection of a large circle of friends. As a young man, Mr. Walker uit considerable experience and iciowlaice ta the employ of Josiah Lee & Co., a rromi- nent banking house in Baltimore. This knowledge was broadened and deepened by stbsequent association with the Washing- ton houses of Latham & Co., Selden, With- ers & Co. and Lewis Johnson & Co., of which latter house he was a partner at the profuse — festoonings of | time of his death. Mr. Walker, early in life, married Miss Catharine Mustin, who was connecied on the father’s side with President Munroe. Until he became ill, he was an enthusiastic member of the organization of Odd Fel- lows, and was alwaya ready to respond with generous hand to all charitable de- mands. For many years he was a valued member of the board of trustees of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, serving that organization in the capacity of treasurer. Mr. Walker leaves behind him a spoiless record, and his widow will have the sym- pathy of —_ communjty. The ‘uncral tal afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock. Rev.

For sale: at this office | TRYINGOUT THE MEN Probable Litfp-p of the Senators for Bpring Practi at National Park HOPING T0_DEVELOP “PHENOM” Patrons of” the Game Will Held Wagner afd Btown Select Team. FRESH BASE BALL GOSSIP te t The indications are that the spring games at National Part’ will attract -unusual at- tention among the Wastiington enthusiasts. The present’ roster of the Senators em- braces twenty players and the chances are that this number, will report for duty the latter part of March to Mr. Wagner and Captain Brown. The regular nine can be very easily picked out, but there is more than a possibility that one of the new men will display stich marked ‘playing ability that ‘@ place will ave to be made for him among the regulars. It is.very likely that the new men will be given a first-class battery and then take the field against the regular nine in something like the following order: Positions. Yanigans. -McGutre -Dineen -Sullivan . Wagner -Snyder Dixon .Amole ‘McHale Regulars. -Center field. ... Right field. Bresnehan . Substitute -Mock On paper the regular team is decidedly the stronger, but a team composed of Yani- gans can play great ball in the spring and the contests should be full of ginger and consequent interest. The local enthusiasts know all about the playing ability of the regular nine, but the new men will be the ones ‘held up to the X-rays for inspection. Sullivan, on first for the Yanigans, is a pitcher drafted from the New England League, but he bas acted as captain and played almost all tne infield positions. He is a big, husky fellow and full of energy, and will be no novice at first. Wagner wil be the largest factor in the making up of the regular infield, and, being played at second, a line can be had on his qualifica- tions. Snyder, the catcher, is another in- field possibility and there 1s no telling what his early work will bring forth, as he is a hard hitter. Amole and Bresnehan are not expected to set the world afire in the field, but McHale will create a great deal of in- terest in center. Games of this character will undoubtedly. bring out all that is in the men, as they will be in direct competi- tion with players, the places of whom they can secure if their worth is proven. Several of the new men will be played in the infield, and Temmy Leaiy will have the work of his iife cut out for him to retain the position of third baseman regularly. There are about a dozen first-class infield- ers in the big league who began the busi- ness of ball playing as catchers, and the possibility of ‘gettigg a first-class man out of Snyder or Dixon, and possibly Wagner, has added adéltional coloring to the rosy hue held by Mgy Wagner on the chances of the Senators for next season. Captain Tom Brewn has gijen iy out that he will play no favorites ayd pill enter the competition ‘himself, judging ‘the other positions him- self, but Mr Wagner deciding between his lieutenant ang;McHale. Brown does not consider himstit an old man yet by any yoeans, and in this he is perfectly right, and should be be able to continue his .300 batting strealjiof last season the chances of McHale vill be considerably diminished. McHale js tipped ‘off as being a player much on thé‘lines af! Brown—that is, a first- class man in. eyery department but batting —but it isa 16'to YF bet that the new man will have to possass almost supernatural qualities to outrank his captain in. base rupning, » Fi thi | particularly in the fine points of the game, Should McHale develop a strong ‘batting’ eye the case will be entirely changed, as, with the other qualifications /said to be possessed by: him, it would throw him at once into the ranks of first-class fielders of the caliber of Lange, Clarke, Keeler and Delehanty. Of one thing the local enthusiasts can rest assured, there will be no dark-lantern tac- tics adopted in the weeding-out process, the public being admitted to the practice games, gnd should a “phenom” be devel- oped the patrons of the game in this city will be aware of the fact as soon as the management. Messrs. Wagner and Brown believe in catering to their patrons, and through this idea have made many friends in this city. Since President Freedman of the New York club made his public claim that his team has the big four of the pitchers of the league, cthér managers and owners have jumped out and presented a similar claim, but nene of them seem to have weakened the challenge of the Greater New Yorker. It is not true, of course, that New York as the only four great pitchers in the league, but it would be a big job to pick ancther team with four men of the quality of Rusie, Seymour, Meekin and Doheny. Several teams have two, and a few have three, but New York has the biggest. big four of the lot. ‘In Hawley, Breitenstein and Dwyer, the Cincinnatis have three; in Hoffer, McJames and Cor- bett, the Baltimores have three; in Nich- ols, Kiobedanz and Lewis, the Bostons have three, and several others have two and three. Manager Watkins of the Pittsburgs is the latest claimant for the honor of having a big four, and declares that Killen, Rhines, Hart and Hastings are as good as any four pitchers in the big league. Take notice, though, that Watkins made the claim just at Christmas time, when all mankind is merry, and when a little gift of praise like that is to equalize sentiment and possibly relations by that fraternal expres- sion characteristic of the holiday season. Kiilen is a top notch, standard pitcher, Rhines is almost his equal, Hart is not a star, but a good man, while Hastings did not amount to much last season, nor the season before. Compared to “Scrappy” Joyce's big four, Killen is about the only one entitled to run in their class. There is a general opinion around Pitts- burg.Cincinnati and Cleveland that Manager Ned Hanlon has been given a “call down” apropos of his refusal to return the Temple cup to the donor, and the belief that the trephy will be‘soon serit back to Mr. Tem- ple. The end of the Temple cup squabble is now in sight, and if reports are true the big silver trophy, which, unfortunately, was not appreciated by the ball players, will be back in the hands of the donor the fore- part of next week. The reports from Bal- timore are to the effect that Ned Hanlon is having the trophy carefully packed, pre- paratory to shipping to Pittsburg. ‘This means that ‘My.,Haplon has been called to order by the lover petaciale and been given to understand that, they have something to say in matt) this kind. Some weeks ago the repo Hanlon saying that as the Baltim lub had won the cup at the close ‘@f Idst season, his club was entitled to hold on to it for a year at least, and that he t1 ded doing so. The league committee vidently notified the Balti- more officials fiat: the organization they represent hes fre 3 series the purpoze of increasing the interest in the national gam ‘when the k = clals met and ‘to call off the cup se- ries without eVén consulting the man who sae one ee: a ee pocket in order to up e, they assuredly hit him a slap in the fade which was both unkind and ungenercus. Mr. been and is too good treated in such @ manner, and the o will wome day find out their mis- the white and red in 1985 will be with the team in 1898. It is almost an entire new team that will face the flag next year. Holtiday, McPhee, Frank Dwyer and ‘Vaughan are the only ones who were playing with the team when Ewing start- ed to manage the Reds who are slated for next season’s team. The same applies to the Senators, only the changes have come within a year’s time. Looking at a group picture of the team taken last spring, comprising Manager Schmelz and nineteen players, it will be found that only seven of that group will be with the Washing- tons next year—Farrell, McGuire, Mercer, Wrigley, Swaim, Selbach and Brown. Of the people left out—Abbey, O'Brien, DeMontre- ville, Norton, Lush, Kimball, Reiily, Cart- wright, McJames, Ashe, German, King and Schmelz, but two remain in fast company— McJames and DeMontreville. “There are a great many play¢rs who play wonderful ball when they are with a team which is not up in the race, and when it makes little difference whether they win’ or not, who lose ali their good qualities just as soon as they get with a champion- ship team,” remarked Capt. Ewing of the Cincinnati club the other day to Harry ‘Weldon of the Enquirer. “Just as long as they are with a tail-end team they are wonders. They are full of energy and gin- ger, bat and field like demons, and play the game so well that they are soon ratcd among the stars of the profession. Take tkcse same players and put them on a championship team, and they can’t play at all, because there every move counts. A misplay may lose the championship, and they become nervous and rattled. Jack Glasscock was such a player. While he was with the Indianapolis team in °90 he was a wonder—there is no doubt of that. The next year he came to New York, and he was of little service. Danny Richardson used to give him some awful showings up by going over into short field and handling grounders. It looked as if Dan was filling beth positions. Take Tommy Tucker; he played better ball with Washington last season than he did while he was with the Bestons.” ‘The National League pitching averages have recently been completed by President Young.

C. armory and was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic gathering of spec- tators that attested the gain in popular favor of the game in the short time that it has been played here. The game was played under the national rules, and this necessitated a change in the ranks®f the infantry team, which has been playing nine men, according to the local rules. This change had to be made within two weeks and it may be easily seen that an entirely new set of signals and a new system of team work that had to be in- augurated and worked up in such a short time worked against the home team. The contest was probably the most exciting and the most interesting of any of the exhibi- tions of basket ball that have been given here in the past, amd the gathering in at- tendance showed the fairness of a Washing- ton audience by applauding the visitors as VAIN ATTEMPT TO SCORE A GOAL AT BASKET BALL, tabular form, except in the League Guide. Amos Rusie leads the pitchers in percent- age of runs earned, with 1.27 per game; in percentage of games won he is not far be- low the .800 mark. Nichols, of course, is rated Nigh in effectiveness, while Young and Kennedy have surprisingly few runs eerned off of their delivery. Mercer won .500 per cent of 42 games pitched, and Me- James .375 per cent of about 40 games. In the matter of earned runs McJames ranks Mercer by a fraction of a point. The form- er’s record forms an illustration of the worthlessness of the earned run feature in scoring. In earned runs per game Mc- James’ percentage is 1.47, yet the number of runs scored while the doctor was offi- ciating in the box averaged over five per game, lack of control cutting every bit as tg a figure’ as poor support. McJames strvck out 161 men and gave 136 bases on balls. No record is given for the few games in which Amole pitched. Notes. January, February and March will soon slip by, and then the “fan” will be happy orce more. The Louisville writers are wondering why Tom McCreary is not making his usual kick this year for an increase. They lose sight of the fact that Tommy is with a ball club now. Manager Watkins will make a big mis- take if he lets Harry Davis slip through his fingers. While the Pirates were playing i this city last season Davis and Donovan appeared to be about the only players en the club that put any life in their work. Don’t be surprised if Bill Joyce is seen at second base for New York next season and Kid Gleason in the outfield, stopping up that hole that neither McCreary or Wilmot have been able to fill. This “tip” comes from St. Louis. ‘That was a nice compliment George Da- vis paid Jack Doyle when he returned to New York from Cleveland last week, and now a Pittsburg scribe comes forward with the statement that Jack had some lively times in the smoky city, but that he never heard him utter a vulgar phrase, some- thing he could not say for three or four other Orioles, Stallings now has thirty-seven players on the Philadelphia pay roll, and the end is not yet. For the last seven years the Quakers have been weak in the pitcher's box, and for next season ihey look weaker than ever in that position. "The reported appointment of Elton Cham- berlain to President Young’s staff of um- pires has been received with considerable favor by those acquainted with the ex- pitcher. It will be worth the price of ad- mission to see any of the players trying to rattle the “iceberg. HUFFCUT ANSWERS COOK. Boat Races Becoming as Productive of Loquacity as Pagilism. Some days ago an interview was pub- lished at New Haven, Conn., with Robert Cook, the Yale rowing coach, in which he was quoted as saying that Cornell hesitated to row Yale over the New London course because Cornell’s rewing experience at New London had been unprofitable. Mr. Cook was also quoted es offering Cornell certain inducements to go to New London. Prof. E. W. Huffcutt, president of the Cornell Athletic Council, took the matter as a joke, and yesterday gave out the follow- ing interview to the press: “We will make Yale even a better offer. If she will row on the Cayuga lake course, where no dredging or mowing or crooking , we will pay all her to row here, but Cornell does not row for money, and is willing to stand all the ex- pense of the ae berths ——— a We will pro v crew -here liberally as they did the home team when exceptionally good plays calted for notice. Mr. House requested the spectators to curb their demonstrations as much as possible, but little heed was given the request. _ Yale played a superior game in team passing and in signals, but this may easily be accounted for by the poor defense of the infantry team. The work of the infantry team was spirited, however, and some of the plays made by the local athletes de- served the loud cheers they provoked. The especial weakness of the local team was inaccuracy ir goal throwing. Had the tn- fantry men been able to place the ball as well as the Yale aggregation, the score would have been nearly a tie, for the local team repeatedly missed good opportunities to score. Yale started off with a rush as soon as the ball had been thrown and soon made a goal through the splendid work of G. M. and J. K. Clark and Rockwell. In eight utes of play two more goals had been made by Yale, and then the infantry took a hand and Lee made a goal, followed by another, handed in by J. Schafhirt from a free throw. The Clarks and Rockwell con- tinued their good work for Yale and by the end of the first inning the score stood 16 to 3 in Yale's favor. The infantry boys took another brace at the opening of the second half and played a rattling game, cutting down Yale's lead considerably. Good work by every member of the home team added to the strength of the play, and the teams in this half ap- peared to be about evenly matched, as the infantry made seven points and Yale six. The final score at the end of the second half stood 22 to 10, under the rules a goal from the field counting two and a goal from a free throw one. The line-up: woe Positions. Yale. Lee (capt.).

Indiguant Comment on the Course Pursued by Germany. The Jiji Shimpo, the most influential paper in Japan, contains a scathing ar- raignment of Germany's recent course, de- claring that the occupaticn of Kiao Chau shows that the laws and tenets of interna- tional morality have ceased to be anything mere than specious preterse by European powers, and that the rule by which thetr conduct is really regulated is “the ‘lesh of the weak is the food of the strong.” After deciaring that Germany has thrown off the mask, and has taken the lead of western powers in a greedy struggle to devour China, the paper adds as to the attitude of Japan: “The conflagration is on the other side of the river, but the river is narrow, and the sparks may easily fly across. The lesson for Japan is that # country’s security de- pends solely upon its strength to resist ag- gression, and that aggression has come al- Most to her own gates. It will not sufi that she should be merely on the defensive. To preserve what one has already it is sometimes necessary to add more. A crisis in the orient now confronts Japan, and her undivided strength must pe devoted ing against the perils that men) Tae Nichi Nichi Shimbun takes a similar view, declaring that it is part of the plan of encroachment of European nations upon the east. It adds: “Japan, that has the greaiest interest at stake in these things, and the Japanese foreign office, should i no time in obtaining from Germany a clear expose of her purposes.” The Kokumin Shimbun says that Ger. many’s action is a sequel to the three pow ers’ (Russia, Germany and France) int ference with Japan's holding Port Arth after having taken that fortress, and that as these powers are again in collusion, Ja~ pan must diligently prepare herself for emerger The Nippon says the crisis calls for a resolute foreign policy by Japan, and avers that nothing tends to impair amity more than tame submission to insult and wrong. The course of Germany is arraigned as a flazrant violation of international law. The Chuo Shimbun declares that the time forthe partition of the Chinese empire has arrived, and adds: “What ghall Japan do? Shall she join in the scramble for pieces of the doomed state, or shall she oppose its partition? In such a crisis—the like of which has not occurred since the restora- tion—the portfolio of foreign affairs is in the hands of a man in whom the nation has no confidence.” xpenditures on expansio! this year will be 80,645,721 yen, and next 63,250,000 af ia nl EH 2.
