Hays Died at Meadville. Major John B. Hays of the editorial staff of the New York Tribune died yesterday at the home of his sister at Meadville, Pa., of Bright's disease. Major Hays was born there in 1839, and was the oldest son of Colonel J. C. Hays, a pioneer editor of Meadville. Major Hays was a veteran of the late war, and was on the steff of Colonel James B. Steedman. — Cost Them Their Liberty.

St, Loui Faseeyr It was a dead heat between the Senators and the Cleveland Injuns yesterday, Pre- siding Judge Emslie declaring the race off at the close of the eleventh heat because of darkness. Each team had then two heats to its credit, neither having been able in the other nine to finish in front: €y Young piloted the tors, and Dineen performed the same service for the home team during the first nine heats, but in the tenth Act- ing Manager Farrell put Winnie Mercer in the saddle, but the best Winnie could do ‘was to make it a dead heat tn the eleventh. The Washington team won the first two heats rather easily, but after running side by side during the next two, it dropped back two points in the fifth, and so it re- mained. A new first baseman, in the person of Fields, the crack baseman of the Eastern League, made his first appearance in the uniform of a Senator. He is tall and spare, and played the initial bag without an error, having eleven put-outs. He was at the bat five times, obtaining two hits, and scoring one of the two runs made by his side. He made a very favorable impres- sion. During the eleven innings but five errors Were made, three being charged up against the Senators. Wagner was the chief offender, two of the Washington mis- plays going against him, one of which, a high throw in the fifth to catch Zimmer at second when two were out, being responsi- ble for the runs made by the visiting braves. McKean and Zimmer were the cul- prits on the other side, the former allowing @ grounder from Selbach to slip through him, on which ‘Selbach reached second in the first inning. and in the second Zimmer threw to second on Fields’ steal when no one Was there, the new man reaching third. Each misplay resulted in @ run. Another feature of the contest was Tom Kinslow’s return to the game. In the tenth inning Blake popped a high foul, which in descending struck McGuire cn the nose and put him out of the same. Kinslow, who had been practicing with the Senators for some time, took his place, and was warmly greeted. He had but one chance, which he accepted, and i his single appearance at the bat sent a fly to left which Burkett captured after a hard run. Another feature the game was the fact that the Visitors hed ‘fifteen men left on hases, the steadiness of Di- neen at critical points. and the fine sup- port of the men behind him preventing the men from crossing the slate. Dineen gave five passes and struck out four men. Cy Young was even more steady, giving but ont pass, and that’ by’ direction of Tebeau, when, Selbach came to the bat in the tenth inning with a man en third and two out, Patsy righily believing Wag- ner to be much easier the Baren. In the first h sent 4 ground- er to McKean, waien the big shortstop allowed to siip by him, Selbach reaching second on the error. He stole tnird and scored on Wagner's out a t from Wal- lace. The Senators also run in the next inning.

He has a fine eye for the future, and when he becomes convinced that the pres lack of interest in base ball in this cit permanent the rapidity with which he. will doubtless drop such sentimental alleged reasons will make one’s head swim. It is a noticeable fact that the Baltimore club, which had fat’ winnings in 1897, 1806, 18: and possibly 1894, is the first to raise a howl about the losses this season. Louis, Louisville, and Pittsburg, whi have played to r#or business for ye but still have past, have not only bought, but money to buy, the best players in the bus ness if they are offered for sale. It was announced at the time of the deals shat 34,500 came into the Baltimore club's tre In the matter of salaries M ur: DeMont and McGann probably about the same as Doyle, Reitz and it hardly likely they get more. is it likely that Maul receives as much as Corbett; that Hughes’ compen: ed Hoffer’s; that Ball is paid Quinn; that Wilson and Bowerman receiv- ed equal compensation; that Holmes gets more than O’Brien, or that Brodie’s eheck is as large as Stenzel’s. Since Pond’s name was dropped from the roll there nas been a clear gain of the salary that went to him, Base Ball Notes. Keep up the good work. Dineen’s pitching was of the right sort, nervy and brilliant. The umpires again demonstrated that the Senators cannot expect anything but an even break. Two decisions of Hunt should have been in favor of the Senators. First Baseman Fields made a favorable impression. Jim is not a showy player, but steady and reliable, and should strengthen the team very materially. It reads strange to state that Jim Me- Gulre was injured by a high foul, the ball striking him full tilt on the nose. It was a nasty hurt, and the old reliable catcher will feel the effects of 1t for a couple of days, althouga still continuing in the game. An old ball player was brought back into the game when McGuire was Injured, in the person of Catcher Tom Kinslow. ‘Tom has been practicing at the park for veral weeks getting into shape, and, as Farrell is still nursing his injured hand, the old catcher was called upon to help out. There was not a sign of rust abot the work of Kinslow, and he gave ever indication of being !n his old-time fori. Run out your hits, boys. Had Dineen kept on going hard when he hit through Childs he would have landed on second when Blake let the ball go through }.im. With a good lead off second he could have séored when Selbach hit the hara grounder that Childs fumbled. It is these small things thai good players watch closely. Wien the “left on bas2s” summary is sized up Dineen’s work shines out very bright. The Wanderers had fifteen men left, and when this fleet agsregation is taken into consideration, the feat of stop- ping them from scoring is far above the ordinary. The Cincinnati Reds will be at Naticnal Park tomorrow and for the remainder of the week. It will be weil for the Senators to keep an eye on Kirst Baseman Jake Beckley. Some time since Jake hammered Billy Joyce on the jaw, and for retaliating the latter got all the blame. Yesterday at Philadelphia Mr. Beckley repeated his performance of hammering a player, Third Baseman Lauder being the victim. The Ewingites have been playing great ball lately, but no better than when the Sen- ators’ defeated them three out of four on their own grounds. Utility player Jun Stafford, who has been with the Louisvilles for the past two years, was given his release by that club yes- terday. Jim is a good sticker and would help out the St. Louis aggregation. Mana- ger Hurst of the St. Loats went after Tom ‘Tucker yesterday and succeeded m land i-g the ex-Senator. Tom should put lots of life into the Browns. Brooklyn is trying to trade La Chance and Alex. Smith for Clements of St. Louis. The deal may go through. At Neweastle, Ind., Sunday at the con- clusion of a ball game Charles Presnall and George Bramble quarreled over tie ownership of a bat. Presnall struck Bram- ble on the head with the bat and in a few hours he died. Bramble was twenty-nine years of age and Presnall seventeen.

Colonel Bryan, his staff and the second battalion of the regiment started over the Burlington road and will be transferred to the Illinois Central at Mendota, Ill., thence over the Illinois Cen- tral to Duquoin, Ill, and from there to Martin.

Race Between Club Teams—The Pur- suit Race in the Australian Style an Interesting Event. The ninth race meet-of the season, given under the auspices of the Park Bicycle Club, at its track on the Conduit road, was held last evening. The occasion brought out 1,500 persons, a large proportion being ladies. The first race, the one-mile novice, was a loafing race, the nine contestants being bunched until after part of the third lap. ‘The finish was exceedingly close, however, H. Weigle of the Corcoran Cadet Athletic Association winning by about a foot. The one-mile handicap, professional, was the fastest competition race for the dis- tance that has ever been run in this city, due to the great speed of Fred Sims. There were fourteen men in the race, Fred Sims being scratched. The next nearest were Bil- lie Sims and Bob Walthour, on the 20-yard mark. Steenson and Schade were on the 30-yard mark, while Moran and Wilson were given a lead of fifty yards, with Charles Gause ten yards ahead of them. From the start Sims sprinted from scratch and soon overtook the rear men. He made a magnificent sprint to catch the front bunch and succeeded, though in doing so he had to ride for fully half a lap at his hardest speed, which practically killed him from further sprinting. Just after enter- ing the third lap, while on the turn, Billie Sims was thrown and his wheel wrecked. Steenson with’a sprint succeeded in pulling Waithour to the front, and the Atlanta boy managed to hold his own in the sprint, beating out Wilson by a very short dis- tance. Sims came in a close third. The time of the race was 1.593-5. Knowing that the race would give fast time the ofti- cials took the time of Sims and found it to be 1.594-5, which breaks the record es- tablished a few weeks ago at Baltimore by John S. Johnson, who rode the distance in 2.01 1-5. Club Team Race. The club team race was run in one heat, only three clubs being represented. They were the Arlington Wheelmen, the Levant Wheelmen and the Corcoran Cadet Ath- letic Association, The Washington Road Club had a team entered, consisting of N. H. Mannakee, J. E. Hanger, jr., and W. H. Farrington. Capt. E. J. Murphy of the Arlington and Capt. Lee Herrell of the Le- vants Jodged a protest with the referee shortly* before the race, claiming that the team of the Road Club did not consist of bena fide members. While the charge was admitted, the Road Club was anxious to ride in the race, offering to relinquish the trophy in case its team won. The referee, however, refused to let the team ride, and only the three clubs startéd. There was plenty of enthusiasm over the race, and the Arlingtons were represented by a large crowd of rooters, occupying private boxes. The Levant Wheelmen were also in evi- dence, nd did considerable shouting for their men. The start was made in a pretty manner, Brearley taking the lead. The pace was not too fast, and it was evident that the men were holding back for the final sprint. During the course of the race the lead changed often, and coming dewn the home stretch, entering the third lap, Moran hit up a lively sprint, which, how- ever, was short-lived. This started the other ridets, and the struggle for posit'ons hed by these two would been sufficient to win the race. The ‘ree was given nine points, the second man eight points, and so on down to the last rider, who scored only one point. This mede $: total of rae aR 23 in the t practically ob ed the club team Pursuit Race, Perhaps the most interesting race of the evening was the invitation pursuit race, interest in the that the people in the 2 it and two- ‘Throop oe ee successful. : Ade ception of these two. The time waS given at 20.14, *“ | There were six men put in the race, all starting equally distant from one gnoiker. {Steenson was on scratch, with Moran, Throop, Walthour, Ives and Gause ahead of him in order named. For a mile the men rode arcund without any on@ being caugat, though the lead in « good many instances was cut down. The first man to drop out was Charles Gause. Ives, tha Baltimorean, managed to come abre of him at the third turn. on last of the second mile. Immediately after sev- eral more changes followed in quick suc- cession. Steenson overhauled’ Moran on thefirst lap of the thitd ‘mile, at. rtearty the same spot where Ives caug’ . Qn tne second lap of the third mule Wha thour, who had been steadily gaining, man- aged to come up even with ives, which forced the latter out of ths race. This jleft only three men remaining, Steenson, ‘{Walthour and Throop. For nearly two miles they went around at a steady chip, the race seeming to settle down as one of endurance. Walthour and Steenson ,evi- } dently hoped to play Throop out, but in this they miscalculated. The Washing- ton boy not only held his own, but man- eged to gain steadily on the othe: who were plugging along at a regular gait. Slowly Walthour drew up on his ‘team mate, and passed him at the tape exactly }at the clos> of the fifth mile, amid the cheering of the multitude. For two more miles Throop and Wal- thour chased each other around the track, and the rate of speed was telling on the local man. To keep him up his trainer, stationed near the entrance to the dress- ing room from the track, threw water on the rider at every lap he made. This had some effect, and on the seventh mile, as Walthour was gaining somewhat, Throop sprinted, but it was the final effort. He could not maintain the lead thus acquired, and slowly but surely Walthour cut down the lead on him. It took some minutes to accomplish this, and another mile was made without the two coming abreast. The first lap of the ninth mile passed with Throop about 100 yards in the lead, but on the second lap of same mile Waithour sprinted and caught his mate on the bank- ing between the third and fourth turns.
