Irwin, who resumes the management of the Washington base ball club after a break of six years, has been in base ball for fourteen years, and is still a young man. In 1884 he play2d shortstop on the champion nine of Providence, his associates being players who afterward played here—Gilligan, Start, Farrell, Car- roll, Hines and Radford. Then he went to Philadelphia, where h3 maintained his rep- uiation as an able and intelligent fielder, second only to John Ward. In 1889 he came to this city and covered short for the Sena- tors when they were playing.on the North Capitol street grounds. The Players’ League strike of 1890 broke up that excel- lent team, and Irwin went to Boston, where he played short on the champion players’ leagu2 team in that city. The following year, 1891, he was manager of the very strong team that represented Boston in the American Association, and won the cham- picnship. It included such players as Had- dcck, Buffington, Daley, Griffith and O’Brien as pitchers; Murphy, Farrell and Mike Kelly as catchers; Brouthers, Strick- er, Joyce and Radford, infielders, and H: dy Richardson, Tom Brown and Duffy, out- fielders. What a team! Barnie had engaged the Washington team in 1892, and began the season as its mana- ger, but he was soon succeeded by Irwin. The team finished the first half of the dou- ble season in seventh place, but a weakness in the infleld that was not rem2died caused the tsam to drop into last place, where it rested when Irwin left, and Dan Richard- son, the captain, was put in charge. Mr. Irwin was given the management of the Philadelphia t2am, succeeding the late Har- ry Wright, but, not doing very well with the Phillies, subsequently he took charge of the Toronto club, where he was very successful. Baltimores Won Two. The Baltimores played two games at New York yesterday, and two victories fell to their lot, the Giants being defeated by 3 to 1 in the first contest and 5 to 0 in the second. Kitson and Noos pitched a high grade of ball, only eleven hits being placed to the credit of the Joyecites in the two games. The ficlding of the Giants was very poor. FIRST GAME. R.

The Bostons had an off day in the'r field- ing, and as a result the Phillies defeated them yesterday at Philadelphia by 3 to 3. The Quak>r boys played a perfect game in the field, and although they made but six hits off Nichols, the latter’s support was so poor that runs were chased over the plate with comparative ease. R. H.

Of the last eight games Wash- ington won four by a margin of one run in each, and one by two rurs. On the other hand, the Orioles have generally won, when they did win, by big scores, such as 16 to 0, 9 to 0, 10 to 3, 3 to 8, ete. In the eleven games Baltimore has made 68 runs, exactly twice as many as Wash- ington made, and yet the Senators have won the majority of the games. The figures show that the Baltimore pitchers were not to blame for the loss of those six games, as they held down their opponents to just a trifle over three Tuns to a game. The Senators have play- ed excellent ball against Baltimore, as a rule, but they have won most of their games through the overconfidence of the Orioles, and consequent carelessness and lack of ginger. Base Ball Notes. ‘Two games today with Cleveland. Welcome to Washington, Manager Irwin. The transfer of Selbach to center field looks like a good move. Shortstop ts about the only hole that will have to be filled, but it will take consider- able hustling to fill it. If the Baltimores win today from Cincin- nati up they go into second place. Gettman will probably play first today, Freeman in right and perhaps Casey behind the bat in one of the games. The new play- ers will doubtless receive a hearty wel- come from the local enthusiasts. Pitcher Williams is about the best twirler of the bunch brought from Toronto. Sut- hoff {s really a “kid,” but, like Altrock of the Louisvilles, has’ plenty of nerve and can control all the curves and drops to a nicety. Pitcher Baker {ts the old-timer Kirkley Baker, who has been in and out of the league several times. Like Gus Wey- hing, he has ccme again, his work this season being of a high order.

W. H. Watkins announced Monday that Pitcher Rosebrough, whose release was purcnased from the Dayton club some time ago, had accepted terms and that he would join the Pittsburg club in New York pext week, Billy Smith, son of ex-Dandy Mayor Wm. B. Smith of Philadelphia, has been appoint- ed a National League umpir Gaffney in the Boston-Phila yesterday afternoon. The season's serie: and New York has been completed and Boston between Boston won ten games to New York’s four. In the six games pitched by Nichols New York made only thirteen 1 an average of two and one-sixteenth runs to a game, and thirty-two hits, an average of five and one- third hits per game. One of the games pitched by Nichols was lost, however. Frank DeH. Rebison has telegraphed to President Young the suggestion that all soldiers and sailors who took part in the Spanish war be admitted to all league games free when in full uniform. Mr. Rob- ison gave the formal consent of the Cleve land club and suggested that President Young telegraph to the other clubs. DeMontreville still lea the Orioles in Dese stealing, with forty stolen bas to his credit. The recor of all the Baltimore players up to date are as follows: treville, 40; McGann, 28: Holmes. he came to Baltimore): Mc 4 er, 25; Jennings, Kell ; Brodie, 7; Clarke, 2; Ball, 2: Robinson, 1; Maul, 1. Philadelphia and Pittsburg are having a regular see-saw time of it in leading the “also rang” these days. First one and then the other is at the top of the second division. This morning Philadelphia holds proud eminence. Yesterday it was Pittsburg, the Gay before Phitadelphia, two days before that they were ticd for the po- sition, and the day before the tic Pittsburg held it, and so on. It is a pretty struggle. Just as the Colenels were taking the train at Cincinnati Monday night for Broo! President Pulliam received a telegram st ing that Pitcher Phillipi of the Minneapolis team had accepted terms. He will not join the team until next spring, however. He has been pitching winning ball for a losing team in the Western League, and is on the Amos Rusie type, being said to have as much speed. Pitcher Wheeler has been released by the Philadelphia team. For awhile early in the season Wheeler was about the only win- ning pitcher the Phillies had except Dun- kle. Dunkle fizzled out very early in the fight, and Wheeler grew steadily less ef- fective, until he was allowed to pitch only vccasionally. His work for months when- ever he pitched was poor, and he has tinal- ly been dropped. Wheeler has been with Philadelphia two seasons, but last year he was incapacitated most of the time from sickness. Capt. Tebeau has very original notions of his own about changing pitchers in a game. “I would take a pitcher out just as quickly if he was being poorly supported as if he was being hit hard,” said Oliver the other day. “Sometimes when crrors are being piled up behind a pitcher you can put a sudden stop to them all and bring order out of confusion by calling a new twirler into the box even if the man who started the game isn't being hit savagely at all. I don’t know why this is so any more than I know why such and such a clud can cilve such and such a pitcher from the box whiie another club can’t hit him at all. I cniy know that I have tried it, and that it 1s Just where the New York club is ig to secure its new material is still a matter of conjecture. There are a number of geod players who can be purchased or ex- changed, but club owners ask exorbitant prices for their players. The Washington club will have a number of players, inciud- ing some good men, for sale, as when Ar- thur Irwin assumes ‘the management of the teain rext season he will bring the best part of his Toronto team with him. It is said that the local management has al- ready made a flattering offer for fielders now playing with the Washingtons, but no definite answer has been received. An offer has also been made to the Louis- ville club for Outfielder Dexter. ‘The latter 1s a fine ball player and is anxious to se- cure a piace on the New York team —Ex- change. CYCLE TRAC SUSPENDED. Action Taken by Chairman Mott of the L. A. W. As a member of the National Track As- sociation the Mankattan Beach cycle track was suspended yesterday by Chairman Mott of the L. A. W. racing board. The association had in its employ during the season a corps of pacemakers, who have not received their salaries. The men pro- tested, and after investigation Mott de- cided to assess each track $1,000 to secure sufticient funds to satisfy the claims. The Charles River Park traek in Boston is the only track which has paid up in full. Besides the Manhattan Beach track, Berkeley Oval in New York, and the tracks at Vailsburg, N. J.; Pleasure Park, Bridge- port, and Springfield, Mass., owe portions of the $1,000. Until they have settled in full no races under the L. A. W. sanction will be permitted on any of these tracks. San Francisco Ch Offers Purse of $10,000 for a Contest. SAN FRANCISCO, September 14.—The National Athletic Club offers a purse of $10,000 for a twenty-round contest between Corbett and McCoy, or, if the principals prefer, the club will give them a liberal percentage. This offer is made in view of the sugges- tion made by Corbett that if the fight does not take place in Buffalo he is open to of- ters from other places. . c. A. C. Tennis Tournament. The first matches in the preliminary round of the Columbia Athletic Club's lawn tennis tournament were played off yesterday on the courts at Columbia field. Although the final scores might not demon- strate It the majority of the games were closely contested and resulted in some driving finishes. The first match, between Fish and Co- burn, resulted in a victory for the latter by the score of 6-1, 6-3. “Moore defeated Spofford to the tune of 6-1, 6-8, by driving the ball repeatedly at his opponent’s back hand until an opening was found for a well-directed smash. down the side line. Taliaferro defeated McQuade by the score of 6-1, 6-4. In the first set Tallaferro’s fierce volleying at the net and his severe strokes off the ground told upon his ad- versary, but in the second set McQuade regained his confidence and came near winning out.
