Boston, 44 = 85 It was an even thing between the Sena- tors and the Cincinnati Reds in their dou- ble-header yesterday, the Senators taking the first game by a score of 4 to 1 and the Reds the second by a score of 10 to 6. Ba- ker, who is a facial understudy for ‘Tim Hurst, pitched his second league game and demonstrated again that he is a twirler of more than ordinary ability. He heid the visitors down to five hits, four singles and double, allowing the Cincinnati men to score but oné run. Had Gatans held Mc- Bride's liner in the third inning the visit- ors would have been shut out. Corcoran’s single put Algie on third, and he scored on an error of Gatans. Reitz’s double, an out, and Farrell's single gave the Senators in the opening inning, and in the filth they scored another on Elmer Smith’s muff of the other Smith’s fly, Gettman’s ngle and Wood's bad throw to catch Jake at second. Their third run was scored in the following inning on Selbach’s triple to left center and Farrell's single to center. Breitenstein pitched good ball for the Reds, but not quite good enough to win, the Senators securing six singles, a triple and a double off the auburn-haired twirier. The second game was marked by hard hitting on both sides, Hawley 1 touched up for eight singles, a triple and three dou- bles, while but one single was made off Dammann, who repiaced him in the eight inning. was backed up by little Case for ten singles and four doubles. The Senators scored a run in the third and fourth innings, and the nt three men across the plate in fourth and three more across in the | sixth. In first half of the nth the Senators tled the score off five hits and a pass. Had Williams then been replaced the home people 1 have added an- other game to their “won” column, but, despite the protests of the crowd, Mana- | ger Irwin kept him in, and in their half the ; Reds fell on him with enough force to | esily secure the game, sending three men in and one more in the eighth. Little Casey made his first appearance behind the bat in W ston, and made a very favora- impression. catching and throwing well i getting two hits. Score FIRST GAM R.W.0.A.E.)

GAMES ARRANGED FOR ee No little consternation was caused among the friends of foot ball when it was an- nounced, four years ago, that intercoliegi- ate matches were to be barred from the athletic sports at Georgetown University. Great pressure was brought to bear on the faculty of the institution to cause them to change their decision. The class and de- partmental teams were allowed. Now, with the coming of the new president, Rev. John Dunning Whitney, S. J., the young men of Georgetown will again be represented on the gridiron. The undergraduate weerers of the blue and gray have gone into foot ball with an unparalleled zest. College had hardly opened when there was a call for candidates and over forty brawny young- sters responded and are now seen daily tumbling about on the campus in their ef- forts to mike the team. The Coachers, They have been under careful coaching. John T. Casey, ‘99, and Frank FE. Smith of the law school have been putting Into prac- tice the experience of years of foot ball. These Brown University veterans are well schooled in the tactics of the pigskin. Not so many years ago they played side by side on Browa’s famous eleven and helped drag down the blue of Old Eli on the old Yaie field. And now these men will wear the blue andgray. Smith is a post-graduate in thelaw school ,and Casey will this year finish his college’ course. Both are ‘magnificently- built fellows and will be a tower of strength in the line. Smith is over six feet high and weighs about 200 pounds. His position is fuard. Casey is slightly under six feet ani tips the scales at about 175 pounds, He as one of the best tackles Brown ever had. The practice has corsisted of punting and catching the ball and the usual fuilirg on the ball and preliminary tackl'ng. The hot weather has prohibited any severe train- ing. Many of the men are under weight now, and to reduce them by work in the hot sun would be injudicious. ‘fratner Wil- Ham J. Foley will be on hand next week to look after the physical condition of the men and negotiations are pending with an ex- perienced coach, who will reliave C: and Smith of some of their present re sponsibilities. The athietic field of the camp tofore contained a “skin diam ball. The yard committee sensibly decided that during the foog ball season this would be a mudhole most ef the time. Work has already begun and it will be fied In and sodded. This will msuye playirg after the most severe storms The Thanksgiving, day game is already booked, as has been announced in The Star. Georgetown will meet the Columbian Uni 3 has here- nd" for base versity eleven. In anticipation of the event Columbian has leased the Capitol Park for the season, and is spending considerable money to make it useful for foot ball games. The game>willybe played at this park, and seating ardangements will be furnished for the immdnse crowd which is sure to be on handg. Manager Watkins. Credit should be~given the manager of Georgetown's footzball Interests for the work he has done in the last two weeks. He is Richard J. Watkins, ‘97. He gave up returned his vacation and to college to work against many difficulties. In the first place, all of the best teams have had their schedules filled many ks hence. The persistent efforts of Mi tkins, however, and the popularity of the coliege have over! come much, and the opening game will be played here with Swarthmore October 15. Games will also be arranged with the Un ty of Virginia, Haverford, Johns Hop- . Catholic University, Mt. St, Ma chmond College, Gailajidet, University of and, Maryland Athletic Club, the 1 Academy and others. Pennsylvania invited the team to go to Philadelphia October 5, but as the professional schools do not open until about that t!me it was considered too early to face such a strong team, consequently the offer refused. Mr. Watkins has been isted In his work by David J. Flynn, 1900, of Boston. ’. Kurtz Wimsatt of the same class has so done considerable work in bringing matters into shape. athletic association. In looking over the candidates who have put in an appearance, a great many good men are found, and the Georgetown eleven of ‘98 promises to be a fairly strong aggre- gation of players. Of course, the absence of a varsity eleven for the past four years has had a demoralizing effect to some ex- tent. Yet during the time mentioned the class teams have brought out some excel- lent material. Candidates for the Team. For the position of center John E. Moore, 1y00, of Woburn, Mass., is a likely candi- date. His weight, however, will be some- what against him. He weighs 240 pounds and will have to train hard to get in con- dition. He made a good record on his class team last year, playing center in all of the games. Another candidate who has every chance of being chosen is EB. P. O'Donnell, 1902, of Pennsylvania, He weighs in the vicinity of 180 pounds, is well built and very strong. Besides Frank Smith of the law school, the candidates for guards will be Lynch, medical, Lynch, 1902, and several others. The Lynch brothers’ are from Holyoke. The older brother weighs 200 pounds, He is treasurer of the while th punger is slightly under that weight. Each will make a strong bid for a place on the team. Casey, of course, is looked upon as a fixture at tackle, although there are a good many lively young men who are going to give him a battle royal. Callahan of the medical school, who weighs about 170 pounds; Walsh, 1901, the right flelder of the base ball nine and crack all round ath- lete; Owens, 1902, a promising freshman; Martell of the law schéol, an old Boston College player, and Shipp of the same de- partment are all promising candidates. The important positions on the ends wili very fortunately haye a number of splendid foot ball players trying for the choice. There are a great many good men at Georgetown who are almost too light for the line. These meg: will be developed as ends. Among them Albert E. Murphy, 1901; McCarthy, 1998+ who is from the New Haven High 1; John Murphy 1902, of the Milw: Pierce Gracte, 1901, In last year’s class of the senior class, Special pains will full back.

His rivals “for the position this year will include Chatteg’©. L. Horsey, 1901; L. J. Kennedy, 1902, and-Maurice B. Kirby of the law school. For the other posftiéng’ back of the line there are many can@iddles. Clarence K. Corby, 1002, played on the eleven of Notre Dame Untversity in the position of quar- ter back. Thomas C Downs will be re- membered as the poplar flelder of the base ball nine. He will attend the law school this year. Patrick J. Fleming, 1901, the second baseman of the nine, is’ also a fine foot ball player. Other candidates back of the line will be David 8. O'Donnell, _prep.; Francis X.

On his becoming secretary of the Palestine exploration ex- pedition Robert Macoy, secretary of the General mpment of Knights Templar ot New York, took up the work.

TEACHING Coming Annual Convention of the District Sunday School Association. “When? Where? What? Why? What then?” is one of the formulas used by Sun- day school teachers for unlocking passages of Scripture fur the benefit of their pupils. Of great interest to these volunteet work- ers for the good of others is the annual convention under the auspices of the Sun- day School Association of the District of 1 Columbla. The 1898 convention of the as- sociation will open the evening of Monday, November 14, and continue until the even- ing of Wednesday, November 16. It will be held in the Sunday school rooms and auditorioum of Mount Vernon riace Church, 9th and K streets northwest. The high record won for this District in the convention of 1895, 1896 and 1807 is to be exceeded if possible in 1898. Rev. Frank K. Saunders, D. D., of Yale iversity will speak Monday and Tuesday evenings. One of his subjects is to be “The Bible of To- da} illustrated by the stereopticon. Rev. A. F. Schauffler, D. D., who was one of the speakers two years ago, ts to speak at the Wednesday sessions, day and evening. Dr. W. A. Duncan, the originator of the move- ent, will speak Tuesday afternoon on the “Origin and Work of the Home Depart- ment,"’ and conduct a conference on this subject. Miss Bertha Vella, state primary superintendent of Massachusetts, is expect- ed, although the Primary Teachers’ Union has about decided to hold a separate con- vention in the spring for a fuller presenta- tion of the distinctive methods of Sunday school work for the little folk. Prof. Zim- merman, with his mixed choir, will conduct the music at the evening sessions. One object of these annual efforts {s to give Sunday school teachers an opportunity to meet face to face and to hear for their inspiration the great investigators and in- structors in those ‘branches of study and method which can be utilized in the mod- ern Sunday school. Another object is to bring together the Sunday school workers of the different denominations for an inter- change of ideas and mutual helpfulness. These conventions are also the annual meetings of the Sunday School Association of the District of Columbia for the election of officers and the promulgation of the sta- tistics and other information collected dur- ing the preceding twelve months. The present officers of the association are: Pierson H. Bristow, president; Lucien D. Alden and C. H. Carrington, vice presi- dents; J. H. Lichliter, treasurer; William W. Millan, secretary, and Jerome F. John- son, field worker. SS OPINION APPROVED. Commissioners Without Authority in Case of Dr. Curtis.

TESTING REINDEER | Their Service as Draft Animals in Frozen North. INTRODUCTION IN ALASKA URGED Dr. Sheldon Jackson's Views of Their Power of Endurance. eee GOLD TERRITORY ——— POOP EPOISPPEOD OO ED USE IN Dr. Sheldon Jackson, the United States general agent for schools for Alaska, has just returned from a trip which he made as far north as Siberia, having in view the introduction of domestic reindeer into Alaska. Dr. Jackson left here about the middie of last May, reaching St. Lawrence bay in Siberia about the middle of sum- mer. An agent of this government has been stationed in Siberia with the consent of the Russian government for the purpose of making purchases of reindeer. Every year additions are being made to the herds now owned by the United States, which now number about 1,500, and which are herded at different points from which they are suppled to the various government st tions in Alaska. About 200 were bought especially for the expedition that was sent out last winter to relieve the shipwrecked whalérs in the Arctic sea. The doctor and his assistants had the charge of procur- ing the large herd of reindeer that was intended for the expedition to the gold re- gions as a relief measure for perishing miners last winter. Dr. Jackson is fast demonstrating the | fact that the reindeer is by far the most serviceable animal in the frozen regions of that northern clime. It is to the far north what the camel is to the sandy deserts of the tropics. It is a remarkable fact that the greater the degree of coid the better the reindeer thrives. Last winter a pa of them made a day's journey with the temperature at seventy-three degrees below zero. On a long journey a dog m can- not haul through an uninhabited country enough provisions to feed themselves. A deer with 200 pounds on the sled can travel up and down the mountains and over the mountains, without a road or trail, from one end of Alaska to the other, Nving on the moss found in the country where he travels. In four months’ travel of 2,10) miles last winter the deer were turned out at night to find their own provisi ex- cept upon a stretch of the Yukon valley, a distance of forty miles. Important to Miners. The great mining interests of central Alaska, It is claimed, cannot realize their fullest development until the domestic rein- deer are introduced in sufficient numbers to do the work of supplying the miners with provisions and freight, and giving the miner speedy communication with the out- side world. It now takes from fifty to sixty days to carry the mail between | Juneau and Circle City. With the estab- lishment of relay stations at suitable dis- tances, the reindeer teams will carry the same mail in four or five days. The reindeer is said to be equally im- portant to the prospector. Prespecting at a distance from the base of supplies The prospector can far as the 106 pounds of provisions, ets and tools will last him and then he must return. With ten head of reindeer, packing 100 pounds each, making half a ton plies, he can be gone for months, 4 ing regions hundreds of miles di deer grazing wherever night find The possibilities are so great, to come, Dr. Jackson says, matter of surprise that the the deer was not vigorously pushed impossible. start. The first introduction of domestic deer into Alaska was made in 1892 in order to provide a new food supply for the mo. From that has grown the k of the ge 1 utility of the which are destined to become th only so- lution of the quertion of reasonable land transportation and rapid communication be- tween mining cente! eds of mites apart in subarctic Al anders have been imported for the purpose of herding and training the deer. Dr. Jackson says ex- perience justifies the wisdom of the experi- ment, es they embody In thelr ows traln- ing and skill the knowledge and methods lesrned by their people through centuries of experience and observation. The Lapps admitted to pessess the most {mproved methods in handling reindeer and they are considered invaluable. Reindeer’s Endurance. A oractical demonstration of the ability of the reindeer to traverse any part of the j country under the most unfavorable cir- cumstances, with a temperature at tin lower than has been experienced by some of the arctic expeditions, was given some time ago. A party with nine sleds and sey- enteea head of reindeer were sent out to test the capacity of this hardy end swift animal for winter travel in Alaska. Native trails and well known sectlons of the coun- try were ignored, in order to show their ability to go anywhere. The course, while traveled by compass, was a zigzag one, in order to better learn the extent and the abundance of the moss pasturage. Scaling high mountain ranges, shooting down pre- cipitous declivities with tobogganing spee plodding through valleys filied with 4. drifted snow, laboriously cutting a w: through the man-high underbrusa of the forest, or steering acco3s the trackless trun- da never before trodden by the foot of white man; gliding over the hard crusted snow, or wading through slush two feet deep on imperfectly frozen rivers unknown to geographers, were the experiences of the trip. While crossing a barren mountain range they were overtaken by that dread specter of arctic regions, a Russian poorga or 4 ue blizzard. Neither man nor beast could stand against the blast. The reindeer were blown down and the loaded sleds overturn- ed. The men, throwing themselves fiat, clung to one another and to mother earth to keep from being blown sway. Stones and pieces of crushed ice flaw by, darken- ing the air. A luli coming toward evening, with great difficulty a little coffee was made, after which the storm broke with renewed fury during a night, which, to the travelers clinging to the earth with desper- ation, seemed endless. After the storm passed away the temperature fell to 73 de- grees below zero, causing even the reindeer to break loose from their tethers and tramp ceaselessly around the tents tor warmth. A Struggle for Lite. The struggle for life was had, however, when the party reached the Yukon, and, contrary to information, found no moss for the deer. Through falling snow, some of it from two to four feet deep, the party with desperate energy pushed ahead day and night for food and life. A continuous march for four days and three nights was had, until a native hut was reached, where food was procured for the deer. Five of the deer dropped dead during this most trying part of the journey. The trip lasted a Kittle over four months, in which time about 2,000 miles was traveled, the Jongest Stel recorded in any land as made. by rein- leer. The result of this trial trip has convinced missionaries, miners, traders and others re- siding in northern and central Alaska that domestic reindeer can do for them what for centuries they have been doing in Lapland. Dr. Jackson claims that the reindeer ars a necessity for the development of the new mines and the supply of sufficient food for the miners. The more rapidly domestic reindeer oan be introduced into that coun- try the more rapidly new sections can be visited and developed. The Gold Supply. The doctor is Inclined to be optimistic in regard to the gold supply of Alaska, and does not share with the views of those who say that the yield of the precious metal is falling off. He thinks that the de- posits of gold extend over a very wide area, and possibly greater than is now believed. ‘When once means of communication can be opened up with interior sections and ma- inery and supplies can be transported at anything like reasonable rates it will doubt less be ved that Alaska is one of the richest, if not the richest, gold producing country in the world. 1 they are neiting irom $30 io. $00 per less from their claim, and, w! the very of the deposits are not so plenti- | erere “The Great Providers.” Rare Bargains.
