Baker was also forced to vacate the slab in that fatal eighth in favor of Killen, but it was not his fault that the Quaker city sluggers were enabled to clinch a tighter hold on the first division. The defeat of the senatorial aggregation lays to the door of one man—Catcher Far- reil, who, by a miserable error of judgment, the score Ued and Dougiass on third, ew the ball to catch Delehanty stealing ond.

Baker twirled finely until the eighth in- ning of the first game yesterday, when he first man up to base on balls. That : begianing of the end. The Phila- delphia papers say that Farrell's wild throw over second really lost the game. Where Jimmy McGuire will play next season is giving several officious writers considerable worry. Why not let the “Old Reliable" remain in Washington. There is no one better. Wrigley had thirteen chances yesterday and coppered them all. Cross of Philadel- phia had twelve, but lost one. The work of these two men, coupled with little Casey, was the feature of the two games. Farrell is getting into Wrigley’s class of late in making errors that are’ deadly. Yesterday he threw wild over second base, and as a result two runs came over the plate, enough to win the game. Wiley Piatt held the Senators down to one ‘hit in the second game, a nice bunt by Selbach, but Killen wasn't far away from him, as the Quakers had only five hits to their credit. Both these left-hand- ers are good men, although the former’ work on the season is better than Frank’: being of the sensational order. Manager Irwin's hardest work next spring will be the hammering of Gettman into batting form. Yesterday he was six times at the bat and failed to make a safe hit. Last season Jake had all the earmarks of a coming hitter, but the way he has petered out this year is most disheartening. There are batters and batters in the Na- tional League, but if there is one more handy with the willow in a pinch than Ed. Delehanty he has failed to come to the front this season. Delehanty will just about reach the .200 @lass this year, but a close analysis of bis work with the bat will show that seventh-eighths of his hits have been made with men cn basis. It’s a treat to watch Delehanty’s face when he goes to the bat with a run necessary to win and a man on the base ahead of him. John L. Sullivan's phiz in his palmlest days never carried a more confident look. A movement is on foot in New York to have John B. Day made manager of the New York club. It has the support of the newspaper men, and something may come of it. Jennings !s coming around ail right, and will be in the game in a day or two. He has a badly bruised nose and a couple of black eyes, which. somewhat impair his personal beauty, but apart from that he is not as seriously hurt as at first sup- posed. While 1n Boston Catcher Robinson of Baltimore purchased a handsome road horse. It is a pacer and a very slick artl- cle. The fat captain says he dees not in- tend to take anybody’s dust, and is looking to make a killing on the track next spring. His friends hope he will have better luck with his new investment in horse flesh than he did with that celebrated string of runners that he owned in the palmy days of Gloucester. MERCER'S MOVEMENTS. Winnie Will Probably Be With Cin- cinnati Next Season, Rumors from Washington are to the ef- fect that a deal has been completed be- tween the Washington and Cincinnati clubs by which Cincinnati secures one of the Washington players. Who the man is is not stated, but as the alleged price is greater than that asked for McGuire— which was }—and as it is known that Mercer, McGuire and Gettman were of- fered to the Cincinnati club some time ago at rather prohibitive figures, the natural infererce is that Mercer is the man who has been captured by the Cincinnatis. Should this rumor be true and the infet ence correct, the Cincinnati club will have made a master stroke in securing the long- haired boy from East Liverpool. Not only is Mercer an extremely clever pitcher, but he can play a fielding position as well. For batting and fleetness on the bases he ranks above any pitcher in the league. When the Serators were here last Mercer expressed a Gesire to play in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati club has been equally anx- ious to have Mercer on the payroll. The Washington club, on the other hand, has had Mercer on the market for some time for the reason that he was dissatisfied with beirg with an inferior team. The d if it really been made—will be ory to all parties concerned.—Cincinnati ‘Tribune. NEGLECTED TALENT. Promising Youngsters Overlooked by the Major League Managers. While various National League clubs have been raiding the Interstate League teams in the hope of finding another Piatt or another Flick, the best men in the league have been overlooked. At least, so declare the players in the Interstate and other men who know. According to Eddie Ashenbach, the clever outfielder, who played with New Castle in the Inter- state League this season, the two best men in the interstate in thelr respective depart- ments have been overlooked. “Jt 1s strange,” said Ashenbach, ‘that ‘three-fin- gered’ Smith, the New Castle pitcher, and Outfieffer Farrell of Springfleld have not been picked up by Natlonal League teams. Smith, who ts a brakeman by occupation, lost the third and little finger of his right hand coupling cars. This deformity ‘in- creases rather than decreases his efficiency asa pitcher. He has good speed, command and curves, and, best of all, he has sand. He also is a good hitter and fast on the ba This season his average is not so good as some other pitchers, because he was frequently put to finish games that other pitchers had lost, and the defeat was charged up to him. He is in every way as promising a pitcher as Cy. Young was when I recommended him to Tom Loftus years ago.” Ashenbach says that Farrell has all the qualities of a first-cla fast, hard-hitting outfielder, and that he also is a clever infielder. Farrell lives in Covington.—Cincinnati Commercial. BLACK BASS FISHING. Large Number of the Chub Variety Taken in Nets.

Most of the small fish received were either given away or consigned to the gar- bage barrel, and the shippers were not pald for them. It is the intention of Major Sylvester, who is also deeply interested in the work of the Fish and Game Protective Association, to see that the law is strictly enforced. the diffe for what of District Tennis Tournament. In the District tennis tournament on the courts of the Bachelor Club yesterday the event of interest was a contest between C. R. Wilson and N. T. Wilson, who are brothers. Each won a set, C. R. Wilson carrying off the first by a score of 6-2, and N. T. Wilson, the second by a score of 6—3. Then the deciding set was won by a score of 6—4. The latter will play John C. David- son for the championship. An interesting final double was played by Glazebrook and Davidson, against Co- burn and Hills, resulting in a score of 6-2, 6—3 and 6—3, in favor of the former team. ‘The last game played yesterday was a con- solation single set between A. G. Wimer and G. P. Parkes, resulting in a victory tor Wimer, the score being 1-3, 6—2, 7-5. —_.—_—_. TWO WILLS FILED. Last Testaments of John L. Cox and Joseph A. Simms, Two wills have been filed for probate in the office of the register of wills, with pro- visions as follows: John L. Cox, in his will, dated January, 1897, makes the following disposition of his property: To his wife, Virginia Cox, all of his personal property, absolutely, and all of his real estate for the term of her nat- ural life, and after her death his son Wil- Mam Is to receive $200 from the proceeds of the sale of unimproved lots, which sale the wife is authorized to make. The residue of his estate is bequeathed to his children, to be divided share and share alike, the share of his deceased daughter, Ida Hines, to be paid to the Washington Loan and Trust Company, to be applied to the education and maintenance of her children. Rev. C. C. Meador is appointed executor. Mr. Cox's real estate holiings consist chiefly of lots in St. Elmo, Va., and in the syndicate own- ing property near the American University. The will of Joseph A. Simms, dated Au- gust 5, 1889, and filed for probate, conveys all the Riis of the deceased, real and personal, to his wife, Willie Ann Simms, who is named also as sole executrix, s are sold by some dealers for the other | THE RIVAL ELEVENS Practice on the Georgetown and Oo- lumbian Foot Ball Fields. SEASON HERE TO OPEN NEXT SATURDAY Schedules Arranged by the Local Colléges. “SIZING UP” THECANDIDATES Every day at the regular practice of the Georgetown University foot ball team a hundred students view with critical eyes the work of the candidates for a place on the eleven of the blue and gray. Of the three score original eandidates only thirty have been able to stand the weeding out process. These are now under the guld- ance of William Donovan. Mr. Donovan was on the Brown University eleven for four years. He filled the position of quar- ter back and is rated as the best man they ever had. Outside of his well-known abil- ity as a player the consideration entering principally into the choice of Mr. Dono- van was the desire on the part of the management to continue the system of coaching which had been {ntroduced by John Casey and Frank Smith. The latter has gone to play with the Duquesne Ath- letie Club of Pittsburg and will not re- turn until the season has finished. His loss will be felt by the eleven to a great ex- tent, as he is probably one of the best guards in the country. Casey will in all probability be made the permanent cap- tain, and to place on his shoulders the re- sponsibility of coaching the men and also their guidance on_the field would be in- considerate. Mr. Donovan began his work Monday. The Opening Game. The game with Swarthmore next Satur- day is the all-absorbing topic at the col- lege. Great confidence is expressed in the eleven, and justly so. The line-up will prebably be as follows: Center, Long; guards, Rutherford and Lynch; tackle: Casey and McGowan; ends, John English and Gracie; quarter, Keane or Lobit; half backs, Fleming, Cullen or Taylor, and full back, Kenna. The games arranged for follow: October 15, Swarthmore at Georgetown. October 1, Gallaudet at Georgetown. October 22, University of Virginia at Georgetown. November 5, Villanova at Georgetown. November 9, Baltimore Medical Colege at Georgetown. November 12, Virginia Military Institute at Georgetown. November 24, Columblan University at Washington. : will also be arranged with Johns and the naval cadets. The dates of these contests wijl be in November. Center. Long of the Law School is the most promising man for center. He is a native of the newly annexed territory of await. He weighs about ons hundred and eighty pounds, and renffr@s one very much of Doucette, Harvafd's excellent center last He is remarkably strong, the cleven of Sania lara College, Califor- His faclt isja lack of seriousness in playing. Thjs gauses him to make erable passes. Young O'Donnell s, however, changing, the aspsct of things for the big Hawatlan,and although not so strong as his rival, jg far superior to him in passing and blocking. These are the principal candidates ipr center, ‘Tennatly- town” Caliahan qf the Medical School has premised to come ouj; but if he does not put in an appearance soon Long will be undoubiedly toung-dir the. position against Swarthmore next Saturday. O'Donnell will also be tried, but with time and a little more vim the big Sandwich Islander will show his superiority. Guards. The position of guard on either side of the line is being contested for by four good men. They are Rutherford (Law), Lynch, 192; Moore, 1901, and Murphy, 1001. The odds seem to be in favor of Rutherford and Lynch. the former is a big, shapely chap, who possesses a great deal of strength. Frank Smith taught him a great many fine points about the game before he left. He is a little clumsy in his moyements, and can improve a good deal in offensive work before being of great value to the team. Lynch is the best man of the group. He is not so heavy as Rutherford, the latter weighing two hundred pounds and the turmer ove hundred and eighty, but he is idently the most aggreasive man on the fie'd. His work ts always well done. Moore weighs about 225 pounds and is very soft. For his weight he shows much agility and, with constant practice, will be developed Into a good guard. Murphy has not given the coachers a fair opportunity to size him up as yet. He weighs about 1 pounds and is a lively player, particularly good at breaking through and following the ball. Indifference 1s his fault. His practice is not regular. Tackle. The survival of the fittest has left these men in the contest for tackle: Casey, 1900; McGowan (Law), Walsh, 1901, and Tom English, 1901, Casey, of course, is sure of his position. His playing is obviously su- perior to that of the others. No man on the fleld can tackle as hard as Casey. But there Is some talk of putting him in as full back. If this is done it means that an ex- cellent Hneman will be taken out to pro-~ duce a mediocre full back. Although he is strong in tearing through the line with the ball, his punting in no way warrants the change. Some authority expressed the need of a good full back when he said that a team is as weak as its full back. It seems highly probable, however, that Casey will captain the team from his old position at tackle. Kenna, the old Mt. St. Mary’s player, is expected to arrive in a few days. He play- ed full back on his college team for three years, and an idea of his size and strength can be conceived from the fact that up to that time he was a guard on the eleven. He is an excellent punter and a good goal kicker. In all probability he will take the place and solve the difficulty. He will take the post-graduate course. Of the other candidates for the position of tackle, Mc- Gowan is probablythe best. He has quite a local reputationas#a player. With his weight of 175 pays and his well-knit frame, he proves, himself a tower of Strength in the lige... Next to Casey and Lynch, he is the liveliest man on the field. The coachers arg*busy making him play down lower in the ine. Walsh, the base ball player, was doing splendid work ungil.caused to leave the game owing to ashadly bruised shoulder. He will be all right in a short time and will return to thé¥eontest. His principal value is his great wbflity in running with the ball. If he is dSed}in the game Thanks- giving day Columbian can look for some trick plays in whichoke will figure. Tom English is unfortufiate enough to lack ex- pertence. He is an’ earnest worker, how- ever, and will @gubtless develop into a splendid man. m3) 3) For ends John English, 1900, and Gracie, 1901, are the best men. English is a cool, heady player and tackles hard and low. He goes at the interference with great force and rarely ‘misses his man in the plunge. Gracie plays out a little too far. By the time he reaches the formation the interference is well under way, and the man, instead of being downed for a loss, falls over for a good distance. He fs a short, stocky man and has no end of pluck. The other candidates are McElroy, P. G.; Barry, 1901; Horsey, 1901, and O'Shea, 1899. McElroy hails from Fordham College, where he played second base on the nine and end on the eleyen. He is not as yet in good condition, but shows a fair knowledge of the game. If Barry is used he will be found of much value as a ground gainer through the opposite tackle or end. He TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY ‘Take laxativ~ Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Horsey was doing good work for a light man until dewned by malaria. He is get- ting better now and will come out again. No end of praise should be given O'Shea for the loyalty and “sand” he has shown in the contest. He has not missed a day's practice and has always worked like a beaver. He may not make the team on account of his very light weight, but he will be remembered for the gameness of his struggle. Quarter Back. There are always a few sandy youngsters dashing about a foot ball field, getting un- der every heap and breaking through for a brilliant tackle. O'Shea Is one of the type, and men like him are Keane, 1901. and Lobit, 1901. These two are the prin- cipal candidates for quarter back. It is even game between them for the victo with the odds, if any, a little bit in favor Ke Keane, on account of his supertor pass- ing. Another candidate may, however, put in an appearance in a few days and beat them both out because of his superior weight. The one referred to is Collins of the Law School, who played quarter on the Boston College team during the season of 1895 and has played since on his class and depart- mental teams. Half Backs. For half backs there have been several new men added to the competition. The re- maining candidates are Kirby (Law), Flem- ing, 1901; Cullen, 1809; Taylor (Law), Doug- lass (Law) and also O'Shea and Barry. Kirby, after putting in some good work, was disabled by a bruised muscle. He is a good man, particularly clever as a line hit- ter. Cullen is also disabled for a few days by a bad knee. He is one of the best backs out. It takes hard work to down him, and if he can only get a little more speed into his running will surely make the team. Fleming is a strong, well developed fellow, but does not use the strength in his posses- sion to the best advantage. With good coaching the popular second baseman of the nine ought to be developed into a clever half. Douglass played well antil he hurt his knee. He will be out again. Tay- lor had some experience on the Richmond College team, but is not an experienced player, at least he does not show it in his Playing. With his strength and agility, however, there should result a good, hard player of the ‘varsity stamp. At Columbian University. The Columbian University team is by no means as yet finally picked out. The vet- erans are, of course, practically sure of their places. Yet competition is encouraged, and the new men are given every chance to show their mettle. The students are taking great interest in the team. The ‘varsity squad consists at present of about thirty men. The veterans of ty 8 team formed the nucleus, and to them were added from time to time those who showed good form on the departmental teams. The ical, Scientific and college all , and they have proved of in- have tean valuable service to the ‘varsity. The team az been training faithfully on the Co- n grounds, North Capitol street. From the start the best coachers have been with the men. They are Charles Huggett of the University of Michigan and D. J. Fugitt of Lehigh. The former pl: his college team, and last year the winning High School team in Wis sin. Mr, Fugitt played tackle and half back on Lehigh, and was formerly a stu- dent at Columbian. These men have been assisted by Capt. Andrew J. Cummings, 1900, and most valuably of all by W. F. Beatty, 1899, the manager. The latter has given much of his time freely to the inter- ests of the college, and his loyalty to Co- lumbian is great. The Schedule. North Carolina warts to play in Wash- ington October 15, but the management will probably refuse to play. The opening ganre will, therefore, be on October 19 with Richmond College at Washington. The schedule follows: October 19—Richmond Coliege, at Wash- ington. October 22—University of Maryland, at Washington. October 29—University of Virginia, at Charlottesville. November 5—Naval Academy, at Annap- olis. November §—University of Virginia, at Washington. November 12—Swarthmore, at Washi! ton. November 16—St. Albans, at Washington. November 24—Georgetown, at Washing- ton. Z~ Center. For center, Harlan, ‘9, who played last year, is out again and is the strongest man for the place. He weighs only 165 pounds, which seems almost too little for a firs class center; but when it is recalled that Lewis of Harvard weighed cnly about 170 during his last year of the game, it is not so surprising. Harlan did fine work in the last Virginia game. M. Cummings, another candidate, is much heavier than’ Harlan. He 1s quick and strong. Guards. For guards, Captain Cummings Is sure to be found in one place, but not until the end of the season. He broke his arm carly in the summer and wiil not risk it until the big games. His tall, active figure is a fa- millar one on the Columbian gridiron. Os- terman of the scieritific school weighs at present about 190 pounds, this being slight- ly under his regular weight. He is a green man at the game, but shows ability. Nich- ol of the law school will be remembered as the manager of last year’s team. He Weighs about 170 pounds and at one time played on Willlam and Mary. Bynum of the law school is a small man for the posi tion. He is very aggressive, however, and up in figrceness for his lack of Tackle. For tackle, Brown of the law school is showing up well. He played on the Orange Athletic Club of Washington last year. His weight is 180 pounds. Loucks of the law school was the tackle last year, who, to- gether with Cummings, made the right of the line so strong. He weighs, when in condition, 185 pounds, but is somewhat un- der weight owing to his rough experiences before Santiago, where he went as a mem- ber of the District Volunteers. Cochran of the college is a heavy man from western Montana. He has had good experience. Ends. Last year’s ends are both back in col- lege. Meigs, 1889, of Scientific, and Kelley, 1900, of the college, weigh about 150 pounds each. Harris, a member of the 12th Penn- sylvania Volunteers, is also coming out. He is in the Law School and played on Bucknell. Carney of the Scientific School will also be a candidate. He has had ex- perience. Boyle of the Scientific School weighs 155 pounds. He is a fierce player and tackles very well. With his experience on the Y. M. C. A. of Philadelphia he ought to push the veterans hard. Ecker, 1901, of the college is one of the most promising of the new men. He is very good for smash- ing the interference and getting down the fleld on a punt. Weaver is a 160-pound man with some experience. Quarter Back. Beall of the Medical School was the quarter back on last year’s team. He was unable to play in most of the games, but was in condition for the Virginia game. He is not feeling well at present, but if he rounds into form soon will undoubtedly be the choice for the position. Redding- ton of the Friends’ Select School is a scien- tifle man and does good work. Faris and Beard are both candidates. The former played at Terre Haute. Halt Back. For the position of half back there are several good men. Tindall of the Law School {s well known in Washington. His excellent work at right half Jast year is well remembered by the Columbian root- ers. He is also an excellent sprinter and ran on last year’s relay team. N. H. Beard, who played end on last year’s team for awhile, trained at Lawrenceville. He is @ good ground gainer, but has a tendency to fumble. Thomas of the University of Tennessee is a heavy man and a ground gainer. Benjamin of the Ww School is a light man, but runs well. Bond, a freshman in the college, is new at the game and seems promising.
