LATE SPORTING NEWS Proposed Transfer of Orioles to Brooklyn. ADVANTAGES OF THE PROJECT Georgetown’s Foot Ball Team De- feats Gallaudet. NOTES OF THE ELEVENS eee Regarding the transfer of Third Baseman McGraw to New York, the Baltimore papers have taken but Iittle interest in the report. On the heels of that rumor comes the story that Manager Hanlon and the entire string of Orioles will be transferred to Brooklyn next season, and the oyster city be represented in the big league by a cheaper team made of Brooklyn players and numerous youngsters. The Baltimore Sun has the following to say about the deal: The idea-of losing the great team, and especially its able manager, undoubtedly the greatest base ball general that the na- tional game has produced, has doubtl never occurred to the rooters of Baltimore, but in the opinion of some men, one of whom is closely connected with the Bal- timore club, the danger of such a loss is imminent. In the opinion of the man re- ferred to the whole Baltimore team, in- cluding Manager Hanlon, will go to Brook- lyn next season and play ball there. “I feel positive,” said he, “that the team will go somewhere, and I think it wili be Brooklyn. My reasons? Well, there are 2 number of them. In the first place, Mr. Hanlon broached the subject to me some time ago, and we discussed it seriously. But my principal reason for thinking it highly probable, is the great advantage financially that such a move would be for beth clubs. Why, just look at the situa- tion. There is Brooklyn, just aching for a wipning team. For years the Brooklyn teams have been “frosts,” have ended far down fn the race and there is little or no prospect of the t@m@m being any better next year than this.” That means that the owner, Mr. Abell, will again lose heavily, as he did this year and last, and for years before. Then here is a team that has won three championships and been in the fight for the fourth and fifth until the last week of each season. The team made money in Baltimore for two years, but in ’06 the local attendance began to drop, and it has n dropping steadily ever since. The team drew big crowds on the road, so that the owners came out ahead in "96 and ‘97 in spite small crowds at home, but this year not even the gocd business on the roaé@ could overcome the poor attendance in Baltimcre, which dropped down to almost nething. “I believe Baltimore is a dead base ball town, and that next year will be just as bad as this, if not worse. That means that Hanlon and Vonderhorst must face an- other loss of perhaps ”. Now, Mr. Hanlon, by his brains and hard work, has made some money, but I guess he does not care to lose it again, and for that reason I believe he will not stay in Baltimore next season. Now, think of it! Suppose Mr. Abell and Messrs. Hanlon and Vonderhorst pool issues, as it were. The Baltimore players, with Hanlon to manage them, could go to Brooklyn and come very near winning the pennant next year, there's no dcubt of that, and that would mean big crowds to see the games and a profit of not less than $50,000, and probably more. Then suppose Captain Robinson should be left to look after the new Baltimore team, which would consist of some of the best of the present Brooklyn players with a few premising youngsters. It would be a low salaried team, and would cost hardly one- half what the present team costs tn salar- fes. Such a team would perhaps end in the second division, but it would not lose a great amount, say $10,000 or $15,000. In that case the Brooklyn end would make the combination $40,000 ahead. “Now, I ask is it reasonable that men would lose the opportunity to divide $40,000 profit, when it is a practically sure thing that otherwise they will lose money—per- haps a great deal? I do not mean to say that such a deal has been made, but I know it has been discussed and I believe it will be made, or some other deal on simi- lar lines. In short, I believe the present Orioles have played their last season in Baltimore.” The speaker refused to allow the use of his name, but he is very close to Mr. Han- lon, if any one can be Said to be that. LOCAL FOOT Georgetown Defeats the Gallaudet College Eleven. Georgetown yesterday redeemed her de- feat at the hands of Swarthmore Saturday BALL. by running as large a score, 11 points, against the fast Gallaudet Coliege team as Virginia University did Saturday. The blue and gray played a fast and strong defensive game and steady, regular foot ball from start to finish, and displayed good team work. Walsh and Murphy were im- portant factors in the strength of the line. Casey and Owens, as backs, were almost irresistible, and with good interference made gains every time, the latter running thirty-five yards once and Casey making a number of gains for ten and fifteen yards. Waters, Bumgardner and Rosson did best for Gallaudet. The line-up: Georgetown. _ Positions. Gallaudet. Gracie. left end L. Rosson Murph: left tackle. Ownbey Lynch vileft guard. ..Jones Long center .

Moore, one of the guards of the George- town University team, weighs 285 pounds. Professor Stagg is having trouble with his University of Chicago players. Cornell’s list of foot ball cripples is as bad as Princeton's and is increasing almost daily. On the list is Sweetland, right tackle; Windsor, Cross and Reed.’ Star- buck is at the bedside of a sick father, and Sleicher is at Troy, being mustered out of Uncle Sam's volunteers.

The Middletown collegians -net only jheld the Quakers down to seventeen pbints, the low- est score of the season, but théy nine times. made the necessary gains to retain the ball on the first downs. The game played by Yale yesterday ex- cept for a fumble that allowed Brown to score was a fine exhibition of foot ball. Brown's big rush line was smashed repeat- edly by McBride, and Charley De Saulles got through the Providence tackles in mag- nificent style for a series of brilliant runs. Cutten played a strong,steady,game at cen- ter, and also got into the general play after the ball went back to the runner. The Yale ends were slow in getting down the field under kicks, but their weakness was plainly due to lack of coaching and not of ability to play the game. Maryland Agricultural College eleven will play Gallaudet Saturday at Coilege Park, it being their second game in the intercol- legiate series, CHESS. Mr. Hanna Defeats Mr. Walker in the First Game of the Match. The first game in the match for the championship of the District of Columbia between Messrs. F. B. Walker and 5. P. Hanna was contested last evening at the rooms of the Washington Chess Club, 614 12th street northwest, and after about four hours’ play resulted in favor of Mr. Han- na. Mr. Walker had first move and chose the Ruy Lopez opening. He failed to pusn his attack vigorously an@ Mr. Hanna de- fended well. ‘Then Mr. Walker allowed one of his pleces to become entrapped and his downfall speedily followed. The championship tournament did not begin at the Washington Chess Club Sat- urday evening, as two or three persons were considering the advisability of par- ticipating and wanted further time to con- sider the matter. Those who have already entered are Messrs. Patrick O'Farreil, J. bP. Campbell, W. B. Mundell, J. W. Harris, John Prender, W. E. Thomas, S. O.. Wood- ward, Charles W. Seaman, John A. Hey- dier, S. W. Tucker, J. L. Warren and J. W. Hodges. The tournament will begin next Saturday evening without fail. GOLF AT HOT Well-Known Local Players on the Links.

A. H. Fenn lowered the nine-hole record from 38 to 36, and A. H. Findlay the eighteen-hole record from 82 to 77. SPRINGS. 2 Whisters Trophy. From the Baltimore Sun. Neither the Baltimore nor the Walbrook whist team has been able to compete on the first challenges for the American Whist League trophy now ‘held by. the. Boston club. The Walbrook four should have gone to Boston to play October 15, but one of the team, Mr. 8. W. Fiske, was ill, and the game went by default. ' The Baltimore team’s challenge was next in order. It should go to Boston on October 22. The ab- sence of the Baltimore team’s captain, W. A. Thomas, who is in the west, will pre- vent this team from going. A law govern- ing the trophy games prohibits a player from playing on more than one team in a season. Both the Walbrook and Baltimore teams have put in fresh challenges, but these will not be reached before late in No- vember. Baltimore Default for Latham Defeats Pettit at Tennis. Latham of Manchester won the tennis championship at Brighton, England, yes- terday, defeating Pettit of Boston, Mass. Latham won three sets to love, thus win- ning the championship by seven sets to love. Latham's score was 6—2, 6-5, 6—2. The galleries overlooking the court were crowded with spectators, who enthusiast- ically cheered the victory of the British player, who outclassed his opponent. Chairman Mott Congratulated. Chairman Albert Mott of the L. A. W. racing board received a letter from Chicf Consul Conway W. Sams of the Marylant division yesterday, felicitating him upon his able and determined treatment of the “in- surgent” cycle racers and its success, as indicated by the surrender of “Major” Tay- lor. Mr. ‘Sams also complimented Chair- man Mott on his statement of the causes which led up to the “insurrection,” which was printed in The Star yesterday, Mr. Sams saying it was by far the best state- ment that has been made on the subject at any time.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 20.—But two or three of the members of the Cleve- land base ball team have signed the con- tract for the coming year. The men are in league and have decided that if there is going to be a sell out they would have somethirg to say in regard to where they will play and have some say regarding the terms to be made with the purchasers of the club. They accordingly refused to sign 1899 contracts. President Robison {s now in New York. ——— Former Policeman Convicted. Daniel M.
