YESTERDAY'S LONDON CONFERENCE Rain Prevented Ball Games at Pittsburg. goes ACRE CURRENT SPORTING NEWS peer Res A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from London says in regard to prep- arations for the proposed America’s cup contest next year: Sir Thomas Lipton, who has challenged for the America’s cup; William Fife, jr., who designed the yacht, and Right Hon. W. J. Pierie of the great shipbuilding firm of Harland & Wolff of Belfast, who wil! build her, met today in London and decided on the final details of the new racer. In his city office today Sir Thomas talked freely about the new yacht. “At our little conference this afternoon,” said he, “we arranged everything. Work on the new boat can begin any time that the order js given. Mr. Fife’s designs are complete. Harland & Wolff are eager to begin building. No, I cannot tell you anything about the details of the plans, not even whether she is to be wood or metal. Of course, we do not want our secrets to get out, but let me tell you for America that she will be full of surprises. There are brains in this boat. ‘That is her greatest secret.

This was to give the challenge a national aspect with the supporters of all the clubs in the United Kingdom. A request was sent to the association to call a meeting to receive 4 deputation from the Ulster Club, but so far no reply has been received. LONDON, August 5.—Sir Thomas Lip- ton inferms the Associated Press that the Yacht Racing A ation has no jurisdie- tion in the matter of his challenge for a series of races for the America’s cup, the Reyal Ulster Yacht Club having as a mat- ter of etiquette, asked the approval and n. lenge within a few days. The fact has just transpired that ten days ago Sir Thomas Lipton visited Marl- borough House and presented the Pri of Wales with a check for £100,000, to dining rooms in London at w people may secure substantial meals for from 2 to 8 cents. There will be a central dining room capable of accommodating 2,000 people simultaneously. It is expected that from 8,000 to 10,000 dinners will be served there daily. The trustees, of which the Princess of Wales will be one, will shortly be appointed to manage the project, which will be known as the “Alexandra Trust.” Today’s League Schedule.

A special from Pittsburg says that a deal between Washington and Pittsburg is un- der way. After working for some time to get “the spurned magnate,” Prasident Freedman of the New York club, to release him, Manager Watkins of the Pittsburg club has signed “Insurgent” Bill Clark. The latter will ¢over first base in th2 game with ‘the Phillies today. O’Brien will go to sec- ond as soon as Padden can be disposed of. Watkins has received several offers for Padden, and he will be sold. Gray will r2- main on third, and Donovan, McCreery and McCarthy will ve permanently continued in the cutheld. After signing Clark Watkins announced that he had released Catcher Sehriver and Pitcher Kiien. Mr. Wagner has always been a great ad- mirer of Dick Padden, and it is possible that this is the player under consideration. Padden is a good, steady player, and will be played at short if secured. Manager Wat- kins and Padd2n had a misunderstanding over a fine early in the season, and this circumstance probably had a great deal to do with the latter’s exchange, as he has been playing gocd ball all seascn. PITTSBURG COMMENT. What the Smoky City Papers Say About the Senators. Selbach made several fine catches yester- day and Reitz covered the second bag in fine form. Bowerman caught up te his best form yesterday and in the eighth inning by a very pretty throw to O’Brien caught Wey- hing napping. Jud Smith is probably one of the most loose-jointed, queer-moving actors in the business at present. Earle Wagner has substituted him at present for Wagner, the musician. When that man Wrigley plays ball he can't be touched along the circuit. But when he's off the trolley he can’t block a freight train with-a red search-light. Selbach killed what looked like safe hits yesterday by some fast foot work. Jud Smith also got a round of applause for his hard run and rounding-up of a difficult fcul fly. The manager's mantle falls heavily upon the stocky shoulders of Jim McGuire. He feels its weight, too, though he tries hard enough to appear unconscious and at ease. He has developed into quite a kicker. Selbach thinks everybody else is wrong ause his vanity needs nourishment and he attracts the attention of the audience by continuous kicking. At least no other satisfying reason is apparent. And Albert is not the only soldier in Cuba at that. In the one inning that he pitched yester- day, Donevan showed that he had _ ter- rific speed. Donovan is a son of a Phila- delphia newspaper man. In the fifth inning after Pat Donovan made a two-bagger and landed on sce he got onto the Senators’ b: and tipped them off to MeCreery. rrell got onto Donovan and proceeded to change the signs, but McCreery got his hit just the same Donovan's trick in the sixth prevented Yashington from tleing the score. W two out and Anderson on second, McGuire singled to right and Andy set out for the e. Patsy was wise and made a great ow of planting himself for the long throw. He acted his part so well that Jim McGuire took a half dozen steps toward second. He was an easy victim when O’Brien got the ball from Donovan, being retired before Andy reached the plate. Jimmy McGuire, who used to be one of the quietest players on the diamond, has developed into a persistent kicker. In yes- terday’s game he made so many senseicss kicks that Umpire Swartwood threatened to lift him from the game if he did not keep quiet, and James kept very quiet. There is a good chance for some smart, hustling manager to cut in on Washing- ton’s string and take away a good man. The Wagners don’t think a whole lot of Gettman, that speedy boy out in right. whom they are batting down in the pitch- ers’ row this year. Any kind of a gold brick offer would steal him away. Put Gettman on a fast team and the manager will have an outfield Jennings, playing ail the ball in the outer garden that Hughey is inside. Put a man like the right fielder up in front in the batting order and teach him to bunt, and there won't anybody catch him on the throw down to first. Base Ball Notes. Wait till next year! Washington and Cleveland in Philadel- phia today. Muddy grounds knocked out yesterday's Washington-Pittsburg games. Dineen is about due to pitch today against the ‘“‘Wanderers.”” Five hits off of Hoffer Wednesday demon- strate almost conclusively that Manager Watkins knows somthing of the game. Patsy Donovan, the ex-Senator, was something of a factor in Wednesday’s gam3. He made three of the seven hits credited to the Pirates, and also scor2d three of tle four runs. The Louisville club at the prc-ent time ts the strongest aggregation that has repre- sented that city for y2ars—not because it has struck a winning streak, but on ac- count of the foresight of Manager Ciirke in securing Harry Davis for first base aud rearranging his infield. There is no sure thing that the Senators will finish the season in eleventh place. Tha St. Louis boys won a game yesterday and manage to win a game now and then, but it ms impossible for the Senators to land a victory these days. At th2 present ratio of wins the St. Louis will soon shove the Wag- nerites into the last ditch. It is evident that Magnate Freedman js a bigger man than the league. At the presont stage of the game the major orga ization has got too much of a good thing for its own good. The commercial end of the game, which at one time was only a side 1s- sue, now app2ars to be the whole thing. And all this in the name of sport. Jack Doyle given it out that there were so many lobsters in the Washington club that he determined to get out as quick- ly as possible. There was only one way to do it, and that was by playing off sick to Mr. Wagner. If this is true Doyle certainly is entitled to the palm as a baseball diplo- mat, as h> humbugged J. Earl to the queen's taste. Doyle’s playing since he joined New York gives a semblance of truth to the story. The present series in Chicago betwe2n the Orioles and Orphans will be watched with considerable interest by the “fans” through- out the country. The Chicagos are close up to the birds, and should they land three out of the four games they will about pull the Baltimoreans out of fourth place and get in there themselves. Then New York ts right in the push and coming up fast. The fight from now on between the first six clubs will be the greatest in the history of the club. Cincinnati is holding on to first place like grim death, and only the finest sort of ball will displace her. When Earl Wagner was her2 with the Senators he gave it out that Doyle was a very sick man, and that he would hardly be able to play for several months. Doyle doesn’t look like a sick man now. He was never in better health. He is a tower of strength to the New York team. He is scrappy, Plays heady ball and is a good waiter and hitter.—Cincinnati Enquirer. et age ce Fire in a Laundry. There was a lively fire in Hing Wah’s Chinese laundry, at No. 403 K street north- west, about 2 o'clock this morning. An overheated stove in the laundry caused the fire and Hing Wah was forced to run with his valuables to the street to save himseif, Fortunately for the (Pg abet the fire de- partment was promptly on nd and his wash was saved. The damage to the build- ing amounted to about $350, while Chinamzn's loss was only about $25, CAMP | How the Artesian Wells to Obtain Water Were Sunk, * CONVENIENCE ALONE CONSULTED Some Were Placed in Close Prox- imity to Regimental Sinks. TYPHOID FEVER . RAVAGES The location of Camp Alger was deter- mined by a board of army officers, of which Capt. Martin of the quartermaster's de- partment was one.. Several sites on both sides of the Potomac were examined, and the ground owned by Mr. Campbell was finally selected. Even when the District regiment was at -this camp it was dis- covered that there was an insufficiency of water for the troops already on the ground, and compiaint was made that it wes an error of judgment to establish a camp which it was expected would contain from 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers in a loca- tion where the natural water facilities were so meager. As eaci regiment entered camp and -re- \ported to headquarters it was conducted to the ground previously picked upon for its use. The assignment was made always by a sort of a board, consisting of Col. V. S. Lusk, the engineering officer of the corps; an aid from the headquarters staff and one of the officers of the medical de- partment—three in number, Of course, this beard changed from time to time, but Col Lusk and Lieut. Col. A. C. Girard, th chief surgeon, were almost always mem- ers. Col. Girard invariably inspected the ground before approving the action of the board. When the decision of this board vas announced the commander concerned no choice. He was simply directed to proceed to the location indicated. The Springs Condemned. Effort was made at first to proyide each regiment with water from the natural springs about th2 camp, but as many of these springs were soon condemned as un- healthful ether water had to be obtained. For a time it was drawn to camp from wells two or three miles distant. ‘This method was only temporary, however, the authorities having determined meanwhile to bore an artesian well for each regiment. It was intended that these wells should all be something over 100 feet deep, because at that depth, if there is any intervening rock, surface drainag2 is suppesed to be without effect. Colonel Girard fully concurred in this supposition. Ning machines were obtained from Washington, and work was begun about two after the camp was created. ‘There wer> but two machines, and they were kept going day and night. As rapidly as a well was finished either Colonel Lusk or one of his a ants would go to the next regiment ask the colonel to help him select a site for a well. This might be done independently of Whe sinks, the engi- neer officer alway#’e&plained, because the water was to be drawii\from below a ledg> of hard rock. me ers Wells Near the Sinks. Convenience was, accordingly, the only thing considered. he=well sunk for the 8th Ohio was within fifty yards of the regi- mental sinks, and it was from this well that the water supply of the Ist Division hospital was obtained before it was moved to Dunn Loring. ‘The weil of the 65th New York is easily within a stone's throw of the regimental kitchen sinks, and a place in the woods use werp{ generally as a uri- nal. That used by the 6th Pennsylvania when the regiment was-encamped near the 6th Illinois was afterward condemned as “full of organic matter in a stat! of change.” This well supplied drinking wa- ter for more than ¥,000 men. In all the camp not more than two or three welis are a decent distance from the dumping grounds into which goes all the refuse from a camp of 1,353 men, Crowding for Space. In order to keep well within the ground leased for occupation it became necessary to crowd each regiment into the smallest possible space. The effect of this was that the tents of the enlisted men were placed close together instead of eight or more feet apart, as provided in the regulations. The men had hardly room to sleep, After awhile even this space was lessened, the cause being the arrival of twenty-six re- cruits for each company. As the camp was already as large as it could be, it was manifestly impossible to give these new arrivals as much space as they needed. In some cases they were.made to “double up” with the older soldiers and sleep six in a tent. Somewhere in the book of Army Regu- lations is a paragraph providing that while in the field no command shall stay longer in any one space than from three to. five weeks. When General Butler came on the scene his men had already outstayed their time. He at once set about hunting new ground and found some hills near Dunn Loring that he thought would do very well. Through some mistake his men were not put on those kills when they moved over, but were stationed down in a valley in a place as bad as the old camp. A statement was ‘ssued by General Butler’s adjutant when the move began that the change of quarters was due to a desire to get more reom, not to a fear of typhoid or any other disease. Spread of Typhoid Fever. Notwithstanding the statement indicated typhold fever began to spread at an alarm- ing rate before the first regiment had broken camp. Preylously—that {s, until about three weeks ago—the number of cases reported each week did not exceed twenty and was often less than ten. But it began to increase regularly about the time General Butler determined to change his quarters and that increase has gone on until during one day (Tuesday last) fifty- four new cases were sent to Fort Myer. Out of this number three have been re- turned to the division hespitals as not af- fected with typhoid and about ten are reg- istered as suffering from malaria or some Kindred ailment. Explanations Offered. Explanations of the spread of the disease are heard everywhere, Some attribute it to Grinking water notsbpljed, some to the milk sold the men, and’som@ to the gases that overhang much of the-low land in the coun- ty. Conservative -Gpinion among the sur- gcons inclines to still another view. They se2m to think the}¥eyer traceable to two causes—the long stay in one ‘place and the juxtaposition of thg sinks and the wells. ‘The-very ground become inoculated, they think, with the effluvia of the camp. In proof of this it may be noted that dis- agreeable odors rise everywhere within the picket Hmits after dark} and that there are parts of the camp whbfe one can hardly walk b2cause of the ever-prevalent bad smells. Ground and air alike are unhealth- ful and unpleasant to the senses. When it rains the camp refuse is forced down to- ward the source of water supply. It is said that it can work itg way seventy-five f2et in three days. Dr ng wet weather this rate is, of course, decelerated, At any rate of travel it has hdd more than abundant time to work its way not only to the ledga of rock of which the engineers spoke, but around it and down below it into the under- ground streams themselves. =. — Valuable Ring Recovered.
