McCoy and Cow- den. This method of rapidly repairing the tissues and building up a run-down system {is unequaled. This is not an exaggerat‘on in any sense of the word, but is being dally demonstrated by the fol- lowing testimony of grateful patients whom they have restored to health after all others had failed. Everybody has been reading of the wonders ac- complished as the result of Doctors McCoy and Cowden’s discoveries. The absolute and assured cure of Deafners in all its forms, the radical and permanent Mastery of Catarrh in all its stages, the speedy and complete triumph over Asthma, with all its agonies, and over incipient ‘Consumption, with all its terrors, has made this treatment not only famous, but an object of intense personal in- terest to all classes of sufferers. Deat people who are constantly reading the story of lost hearing cannot be free from curiosity as t> the nature of the new treatment by which this splendid miracle of medicine is now accomplished. Nor can the sick who are constantly reading of the cure of Catarrh, Asthma and Lung Diseases be free from a similar passion of interest over the treatment that accomplishes these almost equally marvelous results.

It is doubtful if, in all his base ball experience, he has had such a formidable strike on his hands, yet it is formidable only for the reason that the players refuse to discuss the situation with him pro and con. Players who have been under the Wagner banner before have reported. on time, and, with a few words over small Perquisites, have signed their contracts. Even Gus Weyhing, who was with Wagner when the latter handled the Athietic fran- ckise in Philadelphia, and is well awere of Square dealings, comes to Washington Without a cent being promised him, and trists entirely to the local magnate’s judg- mc.t of ms ability to pitch good ball. Al. Se'bach and Charley Farrell signed this gec:son’s contracts, «s they have done be- fore, without a word being written on their bl:nk spac2s, and so on cown the line. The capture of Doyle in New York last Saturday was a feather in Mr. Wagner's cap, and on his return to Washington he received a letter from Snyder, the catcher, saying he was willing to take chances on being treated right. Amoie is satisfied with his Baltimore salary, but told Mr. Wagner that he knew if he pitched gooi ball his value would increase and that a better sal- ary would ccme his way next year. Jake Gettman walks into the office at National Park, pulls cut his contract and says he thinks he ought to have a littie more mon- ey than he received last season, but that he will piay just the same for the old figures. When asked how much increase he want- ed, Gettman named a certain sum, and the next minute his name was down on the ecntract. He walked out of the office with his head thrown back and his chest out. Win Mercer has been a high-priced man for the past two years, yet he had his little Kick for a slight increase, and got it. Jim McGuire figured in a little mix-up with Mr. Wegner over transportation and came out ahead, and a dozen other cases could be cited, if necessary, to demonstrate the fact trat the Washington magnate knows the value of satisfaction as well as money. Now cite the cases of the hold-out Play- ers and see the difference. McHale is a minor league player, with a reputation to establish in che tig league, yet he asks tor an increase that would almost place him on a footing with the limit men. Wagner is another player who values his abilities pretty high, but has yet to display his worth in the big league. Dinneen, being a pitcher, has some excuse for asking for an increase, as twirlers seldom stay in the game as long as the other players, yet he may be the deadest of dead ones. Reitz is one of the dissatisfied ones with a big D. His salary last year with Baltimore was a pretty stiff one, but he wants his Wash- ington income to be increased about 40 per cent, and, in addition, transportation for himself and wife from Sacramento, Cal. These “‘hold-outs” evidently do not know Earl Wagner. As he told a Star reporter the other day: “I would sooner have a dozen first-class players at $3,000 each than a bundle ot rew men at half thet salary. If the men are good they are worth a great deal of money to me, but how am I to know whether these men who are making their demands are worth a nickel?’” Roger Bresnehan has been ill advis24 by some old players around his home in Ohio, and as a consequence, instead of gaining @ firmer foothold in the big league, he goes back to a minor organization to secure What he did nct possess when he was with Washington; that is, nerve. Roger pitched nine games for the Senators last season, five on the home grounds, four of which he won, and nary a victory came his way while on foreign grounds. He couldn't stand the grueling from the shouters on the bleachers and players. To get over this stage of his career, Mr. Wagner would have had to carry him throughout the sea- son, and take chances, but instead, through bad advice, Mr. Bresnehan will try to add nervine to his system in foreign climes. The case of Hillary Swaim is different from all the others. Had he been a wise lad he would have kept quiet, tried his best to pitch good ball and rely upon Mr. Wagner’s sense of justice when salary day came around, But instead, his bluff was called and he is now out of the business as a re- suit of his own indiscretions. Vule, Hil lary. There are a few, very few, it might be said. who take the greatest delight in harping on anything that Jooks like trouble in the senatorial camp, and for this reason this class has been much worked up over “Wag- ner’s grinding down his players.” If nec- essary, there could be obtained from all the players under contract a testimonial that would set at rest all doubts as to Mr. Wagner's fair dealing with his players, and the chances taken by the hold-out players upon signing contracts offered them would be very small. The debut of Jack Doyle in a senatorial uniform, that is expected to take place to- day at National Park, can be rated as an epoch in the history of the national game in Washington. Year after year the club has been going along either around the tail end or very near it. Last year the Senators climbed to a tie for sixth position, and did it with about half a dozen brainy players on the team. This year Capt. Brown will have the assistance of a player at first base who never knows when he is Ucked. and, in addition to his aggressive- ness, knows the game from A to Z. Jack Doyle has intimated more than once to the newspaper people who have interviewed him that he is always looking out for “Jack Doyle,” but, nevertheless, as an asset be has become very valuable prop- erty in the base ball world. The conversa- tion hetween Wagner and Doyle at the New York ccnference would make mighty interesting reading were its full details known, but, of course, such a treat cannot be expected. Doyle’s career on the dia- mond has been a successful one from the start. His first engagement was with the Canton, Ohio team, in 1889, but before the season clused his good work attracted the attention of Gus Schmelz, then handling the Columbus, Ohio, team in the American Asscclation, and he was purchased by that ciub. In 1890 came the Brotherh war, and found Jack the utility man with the Cleveland club of that organization. After the was was over, in 1891, '92, Jack re- mained with the Cleveland league team. but at the close of the latter season was laced in the celebrated “grab bag,” and few York was the lucky club to pick out Doyle's name. For t! consecutive sea- sons Doyle’s name went down on a New York contract, but in the fall of '95 Ned Hanlon thought he saw a good thing in the great first baseman, and secured him through an exchange, “Kid” Gleason and $3,500 going to New York to compensate for his loss. The last two seasons, and ‘97, Jack Doyle was with Baltimore, and the base ball world has already decided how much he did for snee oa during its struggles for championship honors. will find Jack Doyle with the Washington club, and the glad hand will be extended to him from all sides. He has turned many a trick against the old Senators, but that is all forgiven, and a mighty chorus goes up that he may use the same devices against the clubs that will pay Washington a visit the coming season. on present offer without it to bear on the case. Bert diately sought the- helping hand Brown, The Brewer capital city, and arranged with Brown to scare le. In order to make a et lay the Washington manager telegraph asking if he could secure his release, as he wanted him for the Senators, Brown also hinted at a trade. Connie smelt a mor prommately wired back“ for sale to the Nat just about closed ymewhere and im- it Myers was not League, as he had déal for his transfer to & Western Association club in exchange for one of the best meh in sthat league. Since that time Brown hee not been heard from. Now Connie is mad, and he really has be- gun negotiations for the sale of Myers to 8 Western Association club, and there is a prospect of the deal going through, unless Myers speedily to-terms. Should a transfer be made the joke would be on the other side. : The Baltimore club is another aggrega- tion that rema‘ns at a disadvantage by reason of the disaffection of several old Players, the stars of the three-times-cham- pion team. Maneger Hanlon hes not been weakened in his position, and, by the same token, neither have Keeler and Kelley and Jennings and Corbett, though Clarke and Bowerman got back~behind the breast- works. Pitcher Corbett remains at his California home, and it is announced that Manager Hanlon does not mention his name and that he even does not think about the California boy. It may be that he doesi'’t ‘talk about Corbett, but it is impossible that he dceg not give him a thought. For Corbett meant too much to the Baltimore club-last year and means too much to tt this time, one way or the other, for Hanlon not to think it over and count up the cost if he should not pitch. Corbett was practically to the Baltimores what Nichols was to the Bostons, and the @bsence of these two men from those teams cannot fail to make a difference, a greater difference than the management of. either cares to admit during the progress of the revolt. But they will be missed by the teams just as much as by the pub- lic, and that is a great deal. And it would rot be surprising if the New Yorks found some little trouble should President Freedman continue to disregard the preference of Big Bill Clark, the first baseman, who also has filed a salary claim. It has been said, time and time again, that Joyce could take Clark’s place and make a better infield, but it is a safe 100 te 1 shot thac Jcyce couldn’t do any such thing. Joyce has been a good manager and a good captain, but when it comes to playing the whole game himself, Joyce is not the real thing, though he is deserving of strong praire. If Clark does not play first base for the Giants the cranks will See a different article of ball at that cor- ner if Joyce fills the position, or tries to. It is all well enough to say that this man or that man is a so-so player and that ‘any one else can do as well, but it is not true in most instances. Perhaps Clark is not the best first baseman in the league. That is granted, but it will not be granted that he is not a far superior first baseman when Joyce is the other man in the case. Mr. John Heydler, ovr Washington corre- spondent, has resigned his connection with “Spcrting Life,” in order to accept a place or the National League’s umpire staff. We regret exceedingly to lose Mr. Heydler’ valuable contributions to “Snorting Life, regret which will doubtlessly be shared by the Washington club, players and pub- lic, but we trust Mr. Heydler will better himself and achieve success in his new field. If he proves to be as good an umpire as he was & correspondent he will be a ccnspicuous success and a decided orna- ment to Nick Youne’s staff.—Sporting Life. All the above and much more will be in- dorsed by the Washington base ball pa- trens who have seen Heydler’s work at Na- tional Park or know him personally. An- other man that wil be ®n the umpire staff this season who calls Washington his home is Charley Snyder, ‘the old-time ball :player and later an umpiré by profession. Snyder kas been in the league before, but of late years has been officiating in the minor or- ganization. Of his retirément from the Na- tional League little neéd be said, as the “clique” that drové' him to the woods are now in retreat themselves, but it is enough to say that President Sodon of the Boston club and Earl Wagner of the Senators backed Hils application this year, and it went through witha gush. Other friends of Snyder in pyashipeton also put in many @ good word for him, but “Uncle Nick’ was not @ bit surprised''at the old-timer’s pop- ularity. As an arbitrator Snyder ranks with the hest.. His.,work in the minor leagues has been eminently satisfactory. “Mugsy” McGraw has started in early. with the tactics that have made him fe- ™mous in seasons gone by. The Savannah pitcher that planted an uppercut on Mc- Graw’s jaw may be a small particle in the base ball world, but his reputation is made as the man who cculd stand a certain amount of vulgar abuse and then called quits. McGraw is reputed to be an edu- cated man, but it would appear as though he is lacking in many requirements that contribute toward common sense in at- tacking a player with his vulgarity with’ only an exhibition game at stake. But perhaps the little bantem has so much vul- garity to exhaust per season, and is get- ting rid of the major part of it before he runs his head against the stone wall cov- ered with the Brush resolution. — “DeMont singled to center, but was caught napping off first and run down,” has a familiar ring to readers of base ball literature. And yet the little Frenchman promised his friends in Washington that he would demonstrate that Mr. Wagner had made a big mistake in letting him go to Oystertown. It looks very much as if Gene ag! sone back to his old and familiar style of play. * COLLEGE BASE BALL. Georgetown’s Nine Defeated the La- fayette College Team. Georgetown University nine yesterday defeated Lafayette College by 11 to 8 The Georgetown boys outbatted and outfielded the Pennsylvanians, and the heavy batters of the team increased their individual bat- ting averages. Dowd, for Georgetown, was very effective and, except in the second and ninth innings, the visitors could do nothing with his puzzling delivery. The weather was a little too cold for 00d base ball, but, neverthélese, an excit- ing game was played. Nevirs, the star Pitcher of the Lafayettes, proved an easy merk, and the locals hit him safely an even dozen times. Georgetown started in to score in the first inning and made e tally, which was increased to three when Lafay- ette went to the bat for the second inning. The visitors by opportune hitting and a coupie of misplays tied the score in their half of this inning. The heaviest hitting was done by Georgetown in the third inn- irg, and, with a total of five hits an¢ a couple of errors by the visitors, they sent three men across the rubber. Lafayette drew a blenk in its half and Georgetown clinched its victory in the fourth when Fleming’s home run, Safford’s three-bagger and thiee singles ‘gave them three more runs. Hach side scored in the fifth and then each drew a dlank until Georgetown, in the beginning of the eighth, scored cne on _errors. pe) tt ‘With the score 12 to 5 against them, the visitors started itf to’ do something. An error gave the first mi aéther-error, a base on balls and a Clean’ hit by Waldridge scored three men. Thé score was now co Bias alread “Brenan.” Sillggst rere JACK DOYLE HERE. Says He’s Glad to Play Here and That ‘There Was Never Any Serious Hitch. Jack Doyle, the much-looked-for Wash- ington first baseman, placed his autograph upon the Riggs House register at noon to- day, and a few minutes later was accosted by an Evening Star reporter. In answer to an inquiry as to his health, Jack said that he felt better this spring than he has for many seasons past, and that a few days’ practice would place him in prime ecndition. Doyle said he was pleased to ecme to Washington and that there never Jack Doyle. was any trouble between Mr. Wagner and himself ex:ept a few minor details in the ecntract. He said he would have to go it a little slow on the ball field for the next few days, as he might overdo himself and bring about apparent slight injuries that wceuld result in serious consequences. As to how he liked the make-up of the Senators for the coming season, Jack had Itle to say, except that the team looked strong, and wovld dcubtless give 2 good account of itself. Charley Snyder, the new catcher, walked into National Park this morning, and Mr. Wagner immediately recognized him, al- theugh never having seen him before, the identification resulting from descriptions he had of the pleyer from newspaper and other sources. Snyder is a big, strapping fellow, and will almost: weigh as much as Charley Farrell. He has had little prae- tice this spring, on account of the cold Weather for the past month in northern New York. William Dinneen, the pitcher, was the third player to arrive in Washington to- day, and, like all the other Senators, is ap- parently in the best of health. Bad luck cropped out for the Senators yesterday afternoon, the first of the sea- son. ‘Win’ Mercer contracted a painful case of neuralgia in his jaw and as a zesult he looks fat around the face. A few days’ careful nursing will place nim back on the good-health list. Manager Tom. Brown wWas the other sufferer, “and his case was more serious. In running after a kall yesterday afternoon he over-reacaed himself and gave his back a bad wrench, the result being that he had to keep to his recom this morning and Ict the club go it a@ene. Tom. 1s under the best medical treatment and nursing and will doubtless goon be himself again. All the Senators and several local play- ers were out on the field at National Park this morning, and the usual two hours’ hard work was gone through with. THOMAS YET UNBEATEN, Spring Tourney of the Washington Chess Clab. The spring tournament of the Washing- ton Chess Club promises to be very inter- esting. It is yet too early to predict any- thing about the winners. Mr. Thomas is in the lead, having won all three games play- ed by him. Mr. Harris has won more games, but bas lost one, which reduces his percentage. Mr. Hanna has advanced io third place, and Messrs. O'Farrell and Odell are tied for fourth place. Mr. Thomas has continued to improve, ard with more ex- perience will give the best local players trouble. Mr. Odell has gotten over the nervousness incident to bis introduction tu match play, and is playing winning chess. In the third round Thomas won from Adair, Odell from Gwyer and Harris from. Campbell. Harris also played his second game with O'Farrell, and won from the captain. The game between Odell and Gwyer wa3 a pretty exhibition of chess playing. The following is the standing of the players. si pionship match, now pending, was short, Mr. Tharp resigning on the 17th move. He bad first move, and again chose the Scotch game, the same as in the second game of the match.

INTEREST IS INCREASING The Washington Horse Show Attracting Widespread Attention. Horsemen and Society People Are Looking Forward to It With Pleasant Expectation. With each recurring day the evidences grow stronger that the Washington horse show, to be held in Convention Hall May 4, 5, 6 and 7, will be a great success in every particular. The announcements of the classes and the conditions to be met by exhibitors were sent out two weeks ago and the replies being received indicate that the interest taken in the event is even more widespread than was at first believed. Manager Field this morning received let- ters from horsemen in Canada who con- ccntemplate coming to the show, notwith- standing the fact that the Toronto horse show has been fixed for the same date as that in this city. He also got a letter from Kansas City, the writer of which promises his personal attendance and to bring two of his horses with ‘him if they kept their present form and condition. While the local polo enthusiasts are quietly preparing to get the best of each other in the polo pony classes, they will not be allowed to get away with the prizes without a stiff contest, because a string from New York city and another from Philadelphia will come, and the probabili- ties are strong that a bunch from West Chester county, New York, will also be sent down. Lively Demand for Boxes. The interest that society has taken in the show is emphasized by the anxiety of the fashionables to secure the most eligible boxes. The executive committee of the korse show, after considering the matter thoroughly, decided that no partiality should be shown In the disposition of the seventy-two boxes that will front the east and west sides of the horse-show ring, but in spite of this action, many persons have erdeavored to have it rescinded, so far as their individual desires were concerned, but without success. All the boxes and the season tickets will be placed on saie at Droop’s Monday morning. The disposal of members’ badges will be made later on. Baltimore’s Set Aroused. Baltimore is showing almost as much in- terest in the coming show as Washington is. The members of the Elkridge Hunt Club are preparing to make a good account of themselves, and the ladies of the monu- mental city are no less animated. It seems to be assured now that several Bal- timore ladies will ride their own horses and drive their own turnouts in the appropriate classes at the show. Prominent livery stablemen in the city are making preparations to accommodate the numerous horses that will come tg the show, and box stalls are being added to several of the well-known stables.
