Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GAITHERSBURG, Md., June 8, 1898. Last night at Moses’ Hall, Emory Groye, Gen. Allan Rutherford addressed a rally of the 9th district republicans, opening the campaign !n Montgomery county for the r-nomination of Representative John Mc- Deneld. Mr. Frank T. Duvall was chair- man of the meeting, introducing the speak- er, who dwelt for some time upon the great m'ssion of the republican party, recited the services of Mr. McDonald in the Union army, pronoune>d him one of the best rep- res ves the 6th district has ever had, fef that unless accorded a re- to which he is entitled by party gomery county would not again n> nomination. During the address the large audience, pomp« ly of members of the Mc- Kin) blican Club, gave an intent hearing Mr. Moses F. Wilson, vice president of ths ted the chairman y, but an ad- hastily announced. Whils nd orator of the evening, with a few friends, were retiring, it was evident the aulience was not content with gdjournment, for some one present an- hhounced the candidacy of Mr. Ashley M. Gould for Congress and led in three lusty eheers for him. Vice President Wilson of the McKinley club had by this time reached the chair and ‘was pounding for erder. When it was final- ly secured calls were made for Mr. C. Scott Duvall to speak. His appearance revived the enthusiasm, and for probably an hour he discussed the issues to be decided in the race for the congressional nomination, and reviewed the record of Mr. Ashley M. Gould in th> last legislature, provoking the great- est enthusiasm in the audience. Mr. James Martin and Mr. Edward Par- ker, both of Rockville, also addressed the meeting. Announcement was made of the regular gresting of the McKinley club Friday even- ing at Emory Grove, when Mr. Gould will be the speaker. The circumstances attending this first rally of the campaign and {ts termination indicate that the rivalry between the fol- Jowings of Captain McDonald and Mr. Gould will be th> most exciting ever known in General Rutherford’s home district.

Philadelphi: G Brooklyn 2 Washi, 2 St. Louis. Pittsburg... 22 Louisville The Washington club concluded a deal last night that will please the local enthusiasts very much. It was the landing of Bert Myers, the Washington boy, inside the Sen- start negotiations. The report was, of knocking down daisy-cutters and eating up short flies around the third corner of the diamond. The negotiations that were brought to an end last night were really started at or before the opening of the season this spring. Myers did not like the contract off2red him by Manager Mack of the Milwaukee club, and refused to re pert for duty. The report gained curren ° Albert Myers, Third Baseman. that Mr. Wagner was tampering with Myers, and for this reason it hard to start negotiations. The report was, of course, false. Myers asked Wagner if he would stand half the expense should he buy his release from Milwaukee. ‘The local magnate agreed to this, and this far as the tampering went. At first M wanted $2,500 for Bert, but came down to $2,000, then to $1,500, and finally the latter price vas paid by Mr. Wagrer a premise figure. During the past_ month clvbs have jumped into Myers, notably the Philac and Chicago clubs. Several piayers were offered by the clubs in exchange, but the Milwaukee club w: y, and as Mr. Wagner's offer carried the greatest amount of cash with it the third baseman comes to Washirgton. Myers has had o1 son's experienc in the big league, playing the St. Louis team in 1896. with that aggregation w: to advance a young man's and he drifted back into lesgue, landing at Milwaukee. be counted upon as an ex not of the kin’ ying iabi th.rd baseman.

Kept Up Their Aggressive Work. nators continued their snappy, ag- ve play yesterday, and took the ond game with the Pittsburgs rather easily. The home people not only played with a vim, which has develop2d since Jack Doyle took charge of them, but they also hit the ball hard and opportunely. Mercer offici- ated for the Washington team, and he held the visitors safe throughout the contest, al- lowing them but fiva hits, two. of which were made in the fifth, one in the sixth and two in the seventh. In the other six in- rings the Pirates failed to secure a hit, go- ing out in one, two, thre2 order in the first four innings. The Washington men bunch- ed their hits off Rhines in the fifth and sixth innings, placing the result beyond doubt. Every’ man on the home team got one or more hits save McGuire, who hit the ball hard, but unluckily. Jack Doyle's generalship and judgment were demonstrated in a high degree in the game when, after it became apparent that attempts to kill the ball would not do, he directed his men to resort to ‘bunting and to light tapping. The change worked ad- vantageously and seemed io dem: the visitors. It was a trick which has been worked by the Orioles on many occasions, and Doyie is entitled to great it for his judgment. Now that Bert Myers has heen signed, Doyle’s forces will be strengthened by the addition of a good tielder and an ag- gressive player, and one who will greatly increase the snappy play of ihe Senators. The Washington people were the first to score in yesterday's gam, getling one run in the third inning. Wagner beat out one to Gray, taking second on Wrigley’s safe bunt, scoring on Mercer’s fiy to Brodie. The Pirates got their first run in the fifth. With one out Anderson just barzly missed Davis’ drive, he going to second on the hit. He reached third on Brodie’s scratca hit in front of the plate, scoring on Ely's fly to Gettman. In their half of the fifth inning the Sen- ators clinched matters. Reitz, beating out @ bunt, went to second on Wagner's single to right. In attempting a sacrifice Wrig- ley struck out. Mercer filled the bases on a pass. Selbach was implored to hit her cut and did so, sending the ball to right, Reitz and Wagner going home. Jake Gett- man followed with one which bounded over v'Brien’s head, putting him on third and Mercer and Selbach home. Ely allowed Doyle's short fly to fall safe, Gettman scor- ing. The home people scored three more runs in the next inning. Reitz led off with a double to left, scoring on Wagner's single to right. Wrigley successfully followed Doyle's instruction to bunt, placing Wag- ner on second. The little third baseman stole third, Gray dropping the ball, Wag- ner injuring himself in sliding. On Sel- bach’s fly to McCarthy Wagner scored, Wrigley going to third on the throw in. Gettman’s single past short sent him home. In the seventh inning each side scored, the visiters getting two runs and the locals one. McCarthy singled to center and Davis and Ely received passes. Shriver's single to center put McCarthy and Davis across the plate. For the Senators, Anderson singled to center, reached second on Ely's fumble of Reitz’s bound and scored on Wrigley’s single to center. Score: FB.) Pittsburg.

Manager Joyce of the New York club has announced the release of Walter Wilmot. McCreery will regularly occupy the right field. There will be a shake-up in the Philadel- phia team within the next few days. Third Baseman Nash has received the usual ten deys’ notice of his release. For some rea- son the fact is being kept a secret, but frcm a hint dropped by Nash himeelf, he is involved in a deal which is perfectiy agree- able to him, so that he is not to be releas- or Are Let ed outright. ‘I'he papers for Manager Stall- ings’ release had been made out Jast week, but w not handed in, the club owners unally yielding to his appeal for ancther trial. It is understood that new papers will be made out for him today or tomor- row, and that negotiations will be opened with Adrian C. Anson to succeed Stallings as manager of the Phillie: Ned Hanlon returned 9 Beltimore last night from Philadelphia and announced ol that he had sold Stenzel and Quinn to St. Louis for a cash consideration, beli be about 000 snd Ducky Holme reasons are advanced for disposing of these players. In the first place, the club Was carrying more men than the attend- ance at the games justified, and it was de- sirable to cut down the salary lst. In the second place, Quinn was anxious to get back home, and kept on importuning Han- jon to trade him to St. Louis. Stenzel has fallen off in his batting, yet would have been retained but for the fact that he was a high-salaried man. Hanton intends to gather some more young material and de- velop it. He has several on the string, and expects to make more deuls in the near fu- ture, Meanwhile, re will utilize his pitch- ers in case of necesst Base Bi Notes. Pittsburg again today, Evans will probably pitch for Washing- ton. Mercer pitched like the Winnie of old. Wrigley made some good plays and lost only one. Manager Doyle isn’t hitting much of late, but he'll come again. < “Pepper” Reitz is going at his regular Pace just now; nothing gets away from atm. Wagner's injury cinched the Bert Myers deal. J. Earl was trying to land Bert at $1,200, but Wagner's injury made him go up to the $1,500 mark almost instantly. The change in batting order suited Sel- bach and Gettman very nicely. Sel ham- mered out a hit that scored two runs and Jake regained his batting eye to the tune of a triple and u single. The Pittsburg players gave it out around their hotel that if Mercer went in the box yesterday they would punish his delivery for a cool twenty hits. They scored ex- actly four singles and one double. Umpire Connolly is excellent on the base decisions, He seldom loses a play, and when he says “out” it is almost a’ clear case. President Young will place him be- hind the bat when the shake up of the umpires takes place. When the Senators found out that they couldn't hit.Rhines safely they ted bunting tactics, and it told on Billy to such an extent that the local boys turned about and plunked the ball for keeps. The tactics reminded the spectators of re games of last year. Fred Ely 1s apparently away off this sea- son, both in batting and fielding. Fred has been known to muff a high fly, but never to misjudge one. A play of the latter sort occurred yesterday; hands entirely, and it_came down right back of the shortstop's position. Another reason giv for the winning ball the Pirates woke Playing is the good work that has done by the corps of pitchers. If any on ill take the trou- pee yale over oe they will ind that the pitching stat been dot remarkably good work! — The signing of €atcher Bowerman by Pittsburg probably means the release of Catcher Morgan Murphy. If Manager Fred Clarke is after a;first-lass man, here is his chance. “Grand Old Man” Anson on first and act- ing as captain-manager for the Phillles is not a bad move. As a drawing card Anson is one of the best, and perhaps the Quaker boys will appreciate kindness_better than did the Orp! 8 hailing from Chicago. It would be a good thing if several of the base ball writers of, the country would look up the Brush resoltition.’ The idea of charg- ing the suppression of rowdy ball to the Cincinnati president’s resolution is simply silly. The Brush resolution deals exclusiv ly with profane language on the bali field; nothing more. Every magnate agreed to give the umpires‘a show this season, and the agreement has worked to a charm. Senseless kicking ts done away with and gingery playing is not hurt at all. There is no kick coming on the hustling ability of J. Earl Wagner this season. Tom Brown was retained, as he had done excel- lent work with the men last fall. The men would not pull together for him and Jack Deyle was given charge of the team. Mc- Hale proved to be a “dead one” and a big stiff price landed Anderson inside the Sena- torial breastworks. When it was seen that Tommy Leahy would not do for third, J. Earl acceded to Wagner's terms and placed him on third. The Homestead boy was new to the position and told Mr. Wagner he would do the best he could, but again the weakness was easily discernable. Again negotiations were opened in earnest, and today Bert Myers is thrust into the breach with a large price placed to Conny Mack’s credit. It is not too late to draw big crowds to National Park, and should the team strike a winning streak the bad work of the early games will quickly be forgot- ten. The Senators’ make-up today has all the earmarks of a first division team, and the bright prophecies of early spring may yet crystalize into hard facts. Mr. Hanlon’s statement that he would not sell his best players is borne out by what President Pulliam said to a friend yesterday afternoon. It was that he had been trying hard to buy Catcher Wm. J. Clarke, and that Mr. Hanlon had refused to sell his release for $10,000. Umpires Heydler. and Cushman were as putty in the hands of the Bostons today. The Beaneaters kicked on decisions and openly insulted the umpires by such ré marks as, ‘You're the worst I ever saw, “You'll not hold your job long,” and re- marks of a similar strain without receiving a serious call. Tenney went so far as to make personal remarks on the subject of President Brush’s influence over umpires, Mr. Brush being fh the grand stand at the time, in plain view of Tenney—Cincin- nati Enquirer. Mr. Hanlon denies the Philadetphia state- ment that he wants to transfer games. He said that some time ago he had received a letter from the Philadelphia club asking to transfer games of July 4 from Balti- more to Philadelphia, and that Secretary Shettsline had renewed the request yester- day, but that he (Mr. Hanlon) had not con- sented to do so. He said Philadelphia had made him a tempting offer, but that he had not accepted it, though there was a possibility of his accepting later. CENTRALS WON THE TROPHY. High School F:eld and Track Athletic Sports. The annual local, interScholastic field and track meet was Held yesterday afternoon at Georgetown University. The weather was perfect, and a large gathering witness- ed the sport. These were over 200 entries, scattered among the C4ntral, the Eastern and Westen High Schcols. Out of a pos- possible 108 points_fcr the meet the Cen- tral boys scored eighty-one points, made up of eleven firsts, gpver” seconds and five thirds. This givesAhempermanent posses- sien of The Evening Star trophy, having twice before won the championship. Tae Eestern High Scheol athletes scored six- teen points, which included four seconds and four thirds. ‘The Georgetown High School scholars came ,out with eleven pcints—one ‘first,, gne second and three thirds. The basis of calculating the score was five points for a first, three for a sec- ond and one for a, third position. Several records. of the association were broken. G. W. Curtis of the Central car- r.ed off most of the honors, breaking four records and winning five gold medais for a3 Many different events. The two-mile bicycle race was quite interesting, and was won by Manakee of the Wostern, giving his school the only first in the contest. On Decoration day Mannakee won the one- mile High School championship at ihe In- ternational Athletic Park. Schade rode an exhibition mile on the flat track. With a flying start ke covered the distanze ia 2.28. The exhibition drill by a squad from the Central High School, under Capt. H. Domer, in front of the grand stand, was deservedly applauded.

Richard Shaw, a Prince George’s county farmer, was arrested in Stanton Park last night on a charge of trespass. When taken to the 9th precinct station a loaded re- volver was found on him, and an additional charge of carrying concealed weapons was preferred against him. After disposing of his fruits and vegetables yesterday the farmer bought a gallon of whisky for the purpose of treating tobacco planters on his farm, and started home. As he had bought liquid. refreshments in smaller quantities and used them as he progressed, he be- came sleepy, and while he was slumbering his horses managed to get on the grass in Stanton Square. Park Watchman Dowd arrested him. When his case was tried be- fore Judge Scott this morning Shaw said he carried the weapon for protection on the road. In the case of trespass a fine of $10 was imposed, while in the weapon case his persfnal bonds were taken. —_.+-——_ ‘To Meet the Demands of the Public ‘The Pennsylvania railroad will sell, on Saturday and Sunday, June 11 and 12, round-trip tickets to Le gd at rate of $1.25, good to return i Me > June 18, Not —aoen agg ed.— pee SIE SE Divided Among Children.
