The annual musicale by the pupils of Mr. Herman C. Rakemann will take place at the Universalist Church next Thursday evening. The program will be interesting, and will present several new candidates for favor as violinists. ‘There will be a recital by the pupils of Mr. Herndon Mcrsell at St. Andrew's Par- Ish Hall next Wednesday evening. The pro- gram will embrace a wide range of vocal ke'cctions and will prove of unusual in- terest. Homer Lind, who has been winning suc- tess in Gpera abroad, writes to a friend in this city. saying that he would return and oficr his services to his country if he thought were necessary. He adds: “T feel more proud of America since she bas gore to war, and bas already proved to the English that we are not mere bluffers. I think the Americans’ fighting qualities have been very much underestimated on this side of the water. I hear many words of sym- pathy for America, and the English are just as much interested in the war as if they were Americans themselves. I am certain tha: aJmost every English man and ‘woman appreciates the subiime motives of ‘tLe people.” THE BROWNS DELAYED Were Unable to Reach the City This Morning. RETURN OF SENATORS YESTERDAY The Annual Intercollegiate Athietic’ Games. : CURRENT SPORTING NOTES es Tim Hurst, the manager of the St. Louis Browns, who were scheduled for a morning and afternoon game here tcday, telegraph- ed late last night that owing to a washout between here and Cincinnati, his club would be unable to reach Washington in time for the morning game. It was decided to play one game this afternoon, to be cali- ed at 4 o'clock. The Senators reached home yesterday morning. it is needless to explain that they were not met by a brass band, or, in- deed, any other kind of band. Manager Brown had no excuses to offer for the poor showing made by his men on the trip, during which they won two games from the Chicagoes and one from the Pittsburgs out of fourteen games played, the average be- ing. .214. Wrigley is reported as having been far from well on the trip, but 1s about well now. The following are the batting averages of the team so far this seasoi Dineen, oe Mercer, - +139; McHale, .111; Amole, .111; Evans, .v00. Senators at Practice. The entire senatorial aggregation were out on the field at National Park this morning, and went through two hours of hard practice. All the pitchers took turns at warming up, the work of the new twirl- er, Roy Evans, being watched closely by the “railbirds’’ who flock to the grounds every morning. Evans is a big, strapping fellow and handles himself like a player who has come into the big league to stay. Anderson, the other new man who join- ed the team on the western trip, was also critically surveyed by the group of on- lookers, and the sages pronounced him one of the best and a strengthener for the club. Doc Amole has been practicing hard since he was dropped out of the western trip, and it is claimed he has come around to his last year's form, having good com- mand and also speed. Jimmy McHale took Wrigley’s place at short during the morn- ing warming up, Captain Brown hitting balls to him, and the balls going to him also from the players at the plate. Jimmy apparently handled himself very weil, Picking up the swift ones clean and get- ting them over to first with lightning-like speed and on a direct line. Fully 1,000 per- sons went to the park this morning ex- pecting to witness the scheduled contest with the St. Louis club, and were greatly disappointed when told of the postpone- ment. A Decisive Move to Be Made. Magrate J. Earl Wagner gave it out at the park that he was going over to Phil- adelphia this evening for a consultation with his brother, and a decisive move in connection with the management of the club can be looked for before the St. Louis club leaves the city. Mr. Wagner told an Evening Star reporter this morning that the poor work of the Senators is unac- countable. Ali through the west there was not a base ball man of any prominence who did not assure him that he had a good club, that rightly belonged in the first division, but that he would have to get them working together in harmony before good results will follow. The consuitation in Philadelphia will have this end in view, and it is expected that something sensa- tional in the base ball world will material- ize when a decision has been reached. Today's Game. ‘The probabilities are that either Ample or Dinneen will be on the rubber for the home club this afternoon, while Sudhoff will most likely do the twirling for the visitors, as Manager Tim. Hurst has a definite idea that the senatorial outfit docs not like left-handers. The following will be the batting order of both clubs: WASHINGTON. ST. LOUIS. Gettman, rf. Dowd, cf. Selbach, If. Turner, rf. Doyle, Ib. Harley, if. Anderson, cf. Clements, c. McGuire, c. Cross, 3b. Wagner, Sb. Decker, 1b. Reitz, 2b. Carsey, 2b. Wrigley, ss. Hall, ss. Amole, p. Sudhoff, p. Second Baseman Crooks has been out of the game for some tim? with a bad hand, and, for this reason “Kid” Carsey, the ex: Senator, will play that position for the Browns this afternoon. Capt. Brown would not say this morning whether McHale would be put into the game in place of Wrigley, and the chances ar2 against the change. Umpires Swartwood and Wood, the well- known ex-ball players, were out at the grounds this morning and will officiate this afternoon. Both thes? gentlemen have been doing exceptionally good work through the western circuit, the kicks against their decisions being the exception instead of the rule. Mr. Wagner prais2d the two umpires’ work in the games in which the Ssnators were participants. Saturday's Defeat. The first trip of the season was wound up at Pittsburg by the Wash- ington club Saturday, when a second game was lost to the Pirates. Mercer, like another great man, went into the ring once too often, the piratical push smiting him twelve times during the three innings he ovecupied the rubber. The dark-haired Adonis then gave way to Evans, the latest addition to the twirling department of the Washington aggregation, who allowed but three safeties during the six innings ne pitched, but one run being scored in that time by the local people. They had, how- ever, scored énough during Mr. Mercer's reign to place the game to their credit. Rhines pitched for the home team, and was hit hard, particularly during the last half of the game. But he kept the hits well scattered during the other innings and made four hits, his safeties playing an important part in the run getting of his people. Three singles, Doyle's error, a base on balls and a hit batsman gave the Pirates three runs in the opening inning, and in’ the third they secured five on as many hits and a base on balls. They scored one more run during the game in the seventh, when two singles, a base on balls and Far- rell's wild throw gave them their ninth run. The visitors did not score until the fourth inning, when Anderson walked, went to third on Farrell's single to right, scor- ing on Wagner's single to left, the Duke coming home on Reitz’s hit to left. The Senators got- three more in the seventh, when, with two men gone, Wrigley singled past-first, going to third on Selbach’s hit to right, the latter reaching second on the throw in. Doyle sent both home by a three-bagger to right, he scoring on An- derson’s hit down the right foul lne for two bases. Ths Washington people got two runs in the next inning on Reitz’s hit to left, Wrigley’s single over third, Evans’ long fly to right and Gettman’s single. Score: Pittsburg 9; Washington, 7.

MOKY CITY COMMENT. What the Pittsburg Papers Say of the Washington C! and Players. “A trade of Walter Thornton of Chicago for Amole of Washington is said to be en. Neither twirler has done well this s3ason. “Al Wagner of the Washingtons bids fair to become a first-class player. He covers lots of, ground and is a good batsman. He ‘was turned in Arthur Irwin’s Toronto team last year. “The Senators are eag2rly scanning Chi- ago papers. Umpire Lynch threatened to bring GriMfita before the tribunal for viola- tion of the Brush law, applying to rowdy playing in the game Tuesday. The Senators believ2 Lynch is going to quit umpiring and wants to make a record. “Manager Tom Brown wore the expres- sion during the bombardment of a man who has at last seen the wide difference ‘tween ths theory of the winter and the sharp practice side of the summer. “It might be remarked that young Wag- ner, the Carnegie boy playing third for the Senators, shows strong symptoms of follow- ing the steps of Wallace and Collins. His throwing is an act of beauty and precision. “Texas Gettman is known now to th> right fielders as ‘I’ve got it,’ because of his failure to hold two files in two games. He was unfortunate, for the best fielders do the same thing several tim2s during a season. “Though Pitcher Donovan was sent home last night, Wagner thinks he és going to be ne of the best pitchers before the season is_over if h2 can learn to master his ter- tific speed. He has a peculiarly deceptive delivery. ‘The only trouble with Zeke Wrigley was that he was too arxious to do the thing right and was prevented by ov2r-quickness. Zeke was simply too fast. A little less grumbling would make a difference in his work, for he is a hard worker. “After Mercer had tantalized Davis with some slow ones which he could not rach, le the mistake of handing up one the first baseman could reach. ‘Then it went to the score board on a parabolic curve over ‘Texas Gettman’s head for thre bases. “Mr. Gettman, one of the attaches of the senatorial aggregation, is one of the speed- iest young men seen ’round these diggings. No tim? is to be wasted when ae starts for first, and the infielders are kept humping. “Wrigley’s work at shortstop might not have been half so bad had not che other players on the team kept ‘chewing’ at him. ‘They had him so nervous that he did not know what to do with the ball when he did get it. “Early Bird Wagner certainly displayed good judgment in bringing Oggie Gussie Weyhing back into the league. Everybody laughed at Wagner for signing the once famous twirler, using the argument that h2 Was not even good cnouga for fast minor league teams, and had been rel2gated to the Texas league, a cless D organization. Gus has remarkable n2rve in a game nd works a batsman to perfection.” WASHINGTON. The Phillies Made a Poor Showing in the West.

Fast Time at Saturday’s Park Bicycle Clab Races. A world’s record was broken Saturday af- ternoon on the new board track of the Park Bicycle Club. ‘The event was the two-thirds. mile handi- cap, standing start, with W. L. Wilson as scratch man. E. L. Wilson broke the world’s record, doing the distance in 1:21, the best previous time having been made in Pinghamton, N. Y., August 24, 1895, by Karl Bovee. Bovee’s time was 1:25. The ten-mile match race between Lee Counselman and B. T. Wrenn was won handily by the former, who clearly showed his ability to take as fast pace as can be given. Counselman’s work was remarked on by all of tha cracks who saw it as the most remarkable ten-mile race that had ever been seen in the south. ‘The race was made from a standing start, and the best time that has ever been made before by an amateur racer from a stand- ing start paced was made by L. S. Meintjes at Springfield, Mass., September 4, 1893, when he made the distance in 23:04 3-5. Counselman’s race was done, however, in competition, and he is consequently classed by himself. Counselman at the outset started out to break the record for five miles, and came a few seconds short of do- ing this. He rode the ten miles in the fast time of 20:21, The record for the distance is 20:19 2-5, made at Buffalo, N. Y., Octo- ber 19 of last year by Ray Duer. Duer also holds the amateur twenty-five-mile paced flying sta¥t record of 51:57 -1-5. Counsel- man’s time for each mile was as follow: 10.

Twenty-Third Intercollegiate Field and Track Sports, The twenty-third annuat meeting of tha intercollegiate assocf&tioni was brought to a most successful copclusion late Saturday evening at Berkeley’Oval, and the athletes from the University of.Pennsylvania dupli- cated their success of tdst year by carrying off the championship ‘honors with a score of 50% points out of a possible 154. The Princeton Tigers were second, with 28 points; Harvard's athletes third, with 25 5-6, and the sons of Eli fourth, with a score of 22 2-3, and Syracuse led the re- mainder with nine points. Eight intercollegiate records and one world’s record were excelled. To the cred- it of Pennsylvania five of the new records must be placed. McCracken, the heavy man, accomplished wonders with a sixteen- pound hammer, as well as the shot, and es- tablished new intercollegite records in both events. Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania smashed the records in the high and low hurdle races, and in the latter event creat- ed a new world’s record, winning by seven yards from Bremer of Harvard, who three years ago established a world’s record in the same event of 24 3-5 seconds. Satur- day Bremer ran second to Kraenziein, who clipped one second off the record. Kraenzlein also made a good showing in the broad jump, being third to Prinstein of Syracuse and Percy Remington of Pennsylvania. These three men in their jumps surpassed all previous intercollegiate figures, and the winner, Prinstein, almost equaled the world’s record established three years ago by Rosengrave at Sydney, Australia. Prinstein was only one-eighth of an inch behind the Australian record, and his jump Saturday beats all American and English records. Fetterman of Pennsylvania walked away from the field of competitors in the one- mile walk, which he won by over fifty yards, in 6:45 beating the intercolle- giate record by 5 seconds. New figures were made at pole vaulting by Clapp of Yale and Hoyt of Harvard, each of whom cleared the bar at 11 feet 41-8 inches, beating the old record by half an inch. In the sprints another Pennsylvanian, Tewksbury, carried off all the honors by easily winning the hundred and two hun- dred and twenty. In the running high jump four of the contestants tled at 5 feet 111-8 inches, one of them being J. D. Winsor of Pennsylvania, who holds the record for this event, having a jump of 6 feet 3 inches to his credit. The Columbia University wheelmen were expected to capture the five bicycle events on the program, but they succeeded in get- ting first honors only jn the quarter, half and one mile races. Ray Dawson finshed first in all three. The finish of the five-mile bicycle race was a gruelling one, in which Dawson, who locked all over a winner in the last fifty yards, was passed by Ripley of Princeton abcut twelve feet from the tape, and the Princeton man won by a length, Dawson finishing second, with two other Columbia men third and fourth, Schade and Morapfi. of; Georgetown Uni- versity captured the; mile tandem bicycle Face very cleverly by, three-quarters of a lergth from Willia: and Schwarz of Co- lvmbia.

A coal lighter was moored just where the aperture was made in the cruiser’s side, and the work of lightering the vessel was being rapidly carried on. No information in reference to the extent of damage done to the Columbia would be given out today at the navy yard. The vessel will be put into dry dock as soon as she has been sufficiently lightered. The United States cruiser Columbia was in collision Saturday night with the Brit- ish steamer Foscolia in a dense fog eight miles southwest of Fire Island. The cruiser fog whistle kept going.

Instantly I ordered our engines full speed astern. “The vessels came togethyr, however, with a terrible crash, and thé bow of th Foscolia ran up on the cruis armor b: and then cut through her sponson. They remained locked for a couple of sceonds, but the backing of the Foscolia’s engincs tore off her bow as far back as the first water-tight bulkhead. Wedged in the Sponson. “The wreckage stuck in the cruiser's side above and below the waterline and caused the Columbia to list considerably.

We lowered two lifeboats and rescued the captain and crew, numbering twen-y-one all told. We stood ty until the Fogcolia sank at 3 o'clock this morning. As soon as we arrived here we sent the rescued men ashore. Further information in ref- erence to the accident I cannot give yeu” About 4 o'clock one of the navy yard tugs steamed alongside the cruiser and de- livered some messages from Rear Admiral Bunce, commandant at the navy yard, Brooklyn.
