AN OPINION #ROM BALTIMORE ; : With Jack Doyleipositively located in the east and making the statement that he will be with the Washington team next year, a great deal of apprehension has been re- moved from numerous local base ball en- thusiasts. It was a foregone conclusion that Doyle would-report to Messrs. Wagner and Brown this spring at the time speci- fied in the contraet, or even sooner if de- sired by the ldcak management. The re- port that Doyle had a chance of going into business at his home in. Holyoke, .sass., and would drop out of the game entirely is on a line with similar stories circulated by players looking’ for a raise in salary al- most every spring. As Doyle has admitted in an interview. that base ball is his busi- ness and that he will continue in the game as long as possible, no criticism can be of- fered against his natural desire to secure as large a remuneration as possible for his services. Witn Doyle inside the fold. the Washington team ‘for the coming season can be said to be completed. All the men reserved and claimed have expressed wwem- selves as being perfectly willing to play under Captain Tom Brown, and as Mr. Wagner is known, to be liberal with the players, there can hardly be a question that satisfaction will reign supreme over the entire club. : A noticeable thing about the Washington club the coming season is the increase over last year of the money that will be ex- pended for salaries. The senatorial aggre- gation of last year was far from bemg a cheap team; in fact, there were only about three clubs in the entire National League outfit that cutclassed the Senators in the matter of salaries, but the pay roll for 1898 will doubtiess place the club almost equal to the Baltimore and Boston teams which have the reputation of paying the ies of the big league. Capt. Brown eon the side ; Doyle is als . and Reitz, yuire and Sel This is a big for managing the notcher in that re rand probaly n the same ¢ ge of top limit men for one club. ‘The re- mainder of the team will run down to almost miner le aries for the new and untried talc during the winter local management the shington ucts for if not ail, of th discipline anged, cont but as y who had Leen marked fe a majority, been rel 1, sold or exe! of this kind will not be in vogue in this gar. neighborhood this Either the Cincinnati club has_ given Leuisville some assurance that Milier and Little Ritchie will » newspapers in the latter city are publis! ing rumors as facts. A Louisville paper the other day published a list of the team that will represent that city the coming season, as follows: Dexter and Wilson, catchers; Cunningham, Clarke, Fraser, McGee and Newton, pi base; Smith, second bas : Rite step; Dillard, third pase; Miller, right fie! Wagner, center field; and Clarke, left tield. It will be seen from the list that Ritchie has been placed at short and Miller in right field. The article stated that Man- ager Clark contemplates playing his men in the positions ‘mentioned. The exchange of these two Circinhati players is a piece of news to the newspaper then in the cres- cent city. Managér Hwing, not later than Wednesday, said that neither of th men had been traded or sold. He adiitte that a trade of Miller and Ritchie for Pitcher Hill was on some weeks ago, but that the negotiations failed of a success! termination. It may be that Capt. Ewing is playing one of his old tricks, and that tie deal has been ciosed, put there is noth- ing to show that such is the The manner in which the rumors of that deal suddenly ceased might that there was some but, then again, it may be a case of the wish he father to the thought. Not withstanding the denials printed to the ef- fect that Ritchie will be a member of the Cincinnati team next s n, there is little doubt that both he and Miller will be swapped before the season opens. 2d one to believe truth in the be report, There is much speculation among the leading magnates and other officials of the tion. For many y E tional board have caused much strife in the big league, and there is no reason for believing that there will not be a lively time when this matter comes up at the spring meeting at St. Louis, when the va- cancy on the board is to be filled. There is not a magnate in the league who would not be glad to get a place on that board, which is supposed to be the high court of base ball. The first assumption is that Mr. Byrne's successor is to be selected from the east, as the west now has three mem- bers on the board, while the east has only two. In fact, leaving out President Young, who is not ‘supposed to represent elther section, the east has but one—Soden of Boston—to offset Messrs. Brush, Hart and Robison of the west. It appears certain, therefore, that the vacancy will fall to one of the five eastern clubs—New York, Phila- delphia, Washington, Brooklyn or Balti- more. The two men who probably con- sider they are most entitled to the honor and between whom the fight 1s to be hard- est, are Freedrran, of New York and Rogers of Philadelpria. Both these men are um- bitious and jcalous of their reputations for influence in the base ball world. Freedman has always insisted that the New York ciub should be represented on the board, or, rather, that it is preposterous for New York not to be represented. He has al- ways been ttrned down, but it may be that he will be able to squeeze in this time. Col. Rogers lelieves that his legal knowl- edge would be of great value to the boar to say nothing of.the fact that he is pres- ident of the club in the supposed best ball city of the league. Hanlon is “Aiso men- tioned as a candidate, and some writers appear to think that he has the best chance of any of the candidates. When this elec- tion is taken into consideration, the old controversy between the “Little Seven” and the “Big Five” should not be lost sight of. Freedman and Rogers are members of the “Big Five:'*: The dark horse in the race for this positiow on the national board is undoubtedly Harl:Wagner of the Wash- ingtons. Mr. Wagner is in ‘close touch with Mr. Brush/ithe-real ruler of the “Lit- tle Seven,” and, if,the Washington mag- nate really wants the honor, it is only a question of expressing the desire. ist Albert Mott, the; Baltimore correspondent of the Sporting Life, has the following to say in this week's paper: About forty niiles ‘southwest of us there is a little Baltimore suburb where John Heydler lives, and they are quite ambi- tious about base\balt They import lots of talent to gratify ambition. They have Mr. Wagner—Mister, you notice—and plain Tom Brown. They have corralled fascinat- ing Jack Doyle, peppery Henry Reitz and tangle-curve Amolé. What will they do with them? Thit fs ’not asking a question of John Heydler? bécause John would say: “Kill the Orioles.” The Senate is a delib- erate assembly—emblematic of the style of play of the Senators. What they want is a little of the House of Representatives ginger, and John that as well as any- body else, and so he is striving his best to have the team ‘christened Washington Blues. Well. They are rather blue at the end of each season. Will they get there this? Of course, John wants that question answered befure October by a real up-to- date expert like your—well, Henry Chad- wick. They will. So now there are two'of them—Cincinnati and Washington “Blués,” and just where 9 ment of the Baltimore team is peculiar to itself, and Jack not only could not blend, but his presence disagreeably affected the whole team, and some members more es- Pecially. On the Washington team it will be entire- ly different. Jack Doyle will be looked up to as the bright particular star and leader. His domination (which is fortunate for a team that will accept it) will be considered as a matter of course by the other players. There will be no serious kicks on account of it, and no combinations of players against. it. Accordingly the team will Profit by it to an extent that is hardly com- prehended by a superficial observer, and the players will think about something be- sides drawing their salaries and being com- fortable during the season’s travel. Oh, yes, you may just as well consider the Washington Blues as some account in this year’s pennant chase. ‘The Cincinnati papers are making a great deal of fuss over the reported signing of Umpire Hurst by President Young for the coming season, but strange to say that city is about the only one in the twelve-club circuit that protests Sir Timothy. Outside of Tim's break last season, when he pasted a fireman in the grand stand with a beer bottle that had been thrown at him by cre of the onlookers, his record was ex- ceptionally good. His fuss at Pittsburg wus with a crowd of toughs and the um- pire was supported in his fight by several local “fans” who believed he had officiated in an impartial way. Umpire Hurst can be signed by President Young and- yet never see the inside of the Cincinnati grounds, nor for that matter umpire a game in which the Reds participate. It looks very childish for the Cincinnati people to want to run an upright, fearless and efficiont umpire out of the business simply because he acted the star part in a fracas that was started by a Cincinnati enthusiast, and which was more to the discredit of that city than to Hurst him- self. Good umpires are scarce and hard to sign, but frem reports that came from the Queen city last season it would appear as though the followers of the game in that city care mcre for the inferior sort than they do for the first-class article. The most favored part about Hurst's um- riring is that a visiting club, no matter what city it may strike, can rest assured that impartial decisions will be given on every play that comes up during the game. If President Young listens to eleven clubs out of the twelve that make up the Na- tional League, he will sign Hurst for next season and thereby rest assured that one of the dozea Toles in the umpire chart has been effectually plugged up. Notes. From all the accounts that have been re- ceived from Providence, the Washington people have secured an extraordinarily scod man in Catcher Dixon. ‘He started in brsiness in the Michigan League, then went to Minneapolis, was two years in the Southern League, and for the last four ers has been in Providence. Dixon's ex- perience has been varied, and his work las: season was about the best of the catch in the Eastern League. Very little has been said about Roger Bi nehan since the ch Season, Lut the local “fans” ill not soon fe his good work the few times he Was ¢a upon to officiate in the box. ‘Phe prettiest ce. about Roger is t he caa ff ion in dashing style and is § i cipher when he takes his bat.

Up to date we have not heard of Eddie’s inten- tions to sell Willie Keeler or Hughey Jen- nings, but may we not confidently look for some such stories after the cunning Oriole magnate has let go his grasp on Amole, Doyle and Reitz all at _once.—(Cleveland Correspondent, Sporting Life). Tom Tucker for $300 is a good bargain in the opinion of President Hart of the Chi- cago ( ib. Still, the latter declines to buy him, and yesterday forwarded a waiver to Earl Wagner. Under the National League agreement no player can be sold to a minor league unless all clubs in the major or- ganization waive claim to him. Some weeks ago Earl Wagner wrote to President Hart asking him if he wanted Tucker for $500, as the Washington club was going to pase him for that amount. Hart an- swered that Chicago was not buying any new men, owing to the unsettled condi- tion of affairs, and asked him to hold the offer open a short time. Wagner waited, and then wired Hart asking him if he nted Tucker. Hart wired back waiving all claim to the player in question.—(Chi- cago Record). BASKET BALL, Institutes Defeat the Fencible Game Full of Pretty Plays. The Fencibles put up a great game of basket ball at the Carroll Institute last night, the strong home team winning by but a single point—-S8 to 7. The game abounded in pretty plays, hot scrimmages for the ball and excellent team work on both sides, and was probably the closest and most exciting contest that has taken place this season. There is some dispute over the score, the Fencibles claiming that the score should be a tie, and the matter will be settlec at the mfext league meeting. The Fencibles Showed the greatest amount of improven.en* in their play, and the game shows that the soldier boys will be a potent factor in deciding the championship of the National League.

Showalter, ex-champion of the United States, gave an exhibition of simultaneous chess playing last evening at the rooms of the Washington Chess Club, G14 12th street northwest. Mr. Showalter is well known among the chess players of this city, He is one of the most popular players in this country, and the announce- ment that he was to give an exhibition was sufficient to attract a large attendance of chess players, among them being Rep- resentative Robert Bodine, who played in the cable mateh between the American and English legislators last June; Louis A. Pradt, assistant attorney general. Pitted against Mr. Showalter were many of the strong players of the city, among them be- ing F. B. Walker, istrict champion; Patrick O'Farrell, thé veteran piayer; Walter C. Odell, an unusually strong cor- respondence player; Will H. Lyons, private secretary to Senator Deboe; Rey. Dr. J. E. C. Smeed and others. Mr. Showalter took his place behind the boards about 8 o'clock, and at ence began the difficult task assigned him. He played rapidly, making as many m “ board as the piayer seated there was for, Judge Davis was the first p surrender, which he did at the end of eleven moves. Most of the games soon took a decided turn in favor of the single player. In every game he assumed ag- gressive tactics, and pressed matters. Mr. Douglas was the second player to succumb, and then followed Mr. Lyons. Mr. Gwyer resigned soon afterward, making the fourth victory for Mr. Showalter. Then came a reverse, in his game with Mr. Walker, in which the Kentuckian made the capture of a pawn offered him, which cost him a piece, whereupon he The game .

One of the laughable inciients was an announced mate by Mr. Thomas in two moves, which could not be effected, for the regson that Mr. Thomas’ queen was pinned.
