LAST YEAR'S FIGURES COMPARED Senators Drew Less Than Any, Other Club. ON THE FOOT BALL FIELD From Sporting Life. Just how disastrous the past base ball season has proved to the exchequers of the’ magnates is well shown by figures com- piled by President Young. There was a decrease of nearly 500,000 in the attend- ance of the past season from that of the season before. The loss, however, was mostly borne by the eastern clubs, the at- tendance in mest’ of the western cities showing an increase. ‘Tke schedule was made to benefit the west, and Chicago and Cincinnatt did a land-office business. The ettendance In this city dropped from 151,028 in 1897 to 103,250. ‘The attendan on the games of the Senators abroad drop- ped from 176, The Senators drew fewer spectators than any of the twelve clubs during the past season. Last year they drew about W0 more than the Browns. Only one team, Cleveland, drew fewer spectators at home than the Sen- ators, but a number of their games sched- uled for home were transferred. ‘This year’s figures of attendance were: Chicago. ‘Cineinna’ Boston Philadelphia. Pittsburg. Baltimore. St. Louis. 254,057 811,177 were: ‘Tota New Rond Cycle Records. Four new American bicycle road records were made at Norwood, Mass., Monday over a measured mile, by Frank Ourish of Dorchester, Mass.

NEW pe Little Evidence at the Herreshofts’ That Work Will Soon Begin. A special dispatch to the New York Her- ald from Bristol, R. I., says: The on! actual evidence that the Herreshoffs will soon begin work on a new yacht for the defense of the America’s cup les in the fact that a large melting furnace and pot have be2n constructed during the last week inside the boat shops. The pot will be used to melt the lead for the keel, and it is large enough to hold several tons ef molten meti rk on the new yacht will not be begun until the Defender has been put in prime condition. Whether the Defender will ar- rive in Bristol this week or not depends upon the weather. Gales and storms have interfered considerably in the construction of the w upon which the huge yacat will be pulled out in her cradle. A new and very powerful steam winch is being co: structed in the Herreshoff machine shop and will be used, not only to haul the De- fender up, but to let the new cup defender down Into the water without such an acci- dent as befell the Defender in 1805. A piece of aluminum cut from the side of above the water line, arri shoff shops on Saturday to t It was found to be as strong as riveted to the yacht, its tensile tested. when strength being 31,000 pounds to the squa inch. Herreshoffs have been informed that the Defender’s aluminum plating is in as good condition as the sample sent, with the exception of the portion around the stern aft of the rudder. The Defender has been found to be perfectly water tight. The new yacht will not be built for any stated contract price. The Defender was built on time work, with the price of ma- terial added, and a liberal fee for the de- sign. The new Defender will be built on the same financial basis, which does away with complications in regard to the altera- tion of plans by the syndicate, or any changes in regard to the material to be used. BASKET BALL, Taking Steps to Organise All Teams in One League. The amalgamation of the District Basket fall League and the Nationat Basket Ball League, the two organizations that were rivals last winter, seems to be now assured, as foreshadowéd In The Star a few days ago. A meeting was held last evening at the Washington Light Infantry Armory, at which ten organizations that had teams last season were present. S. Porter House of the W. L. I. Corps presided, while Will- iam Helmus of the Mount Pleasant Athletic Club was selected as secretary. These two officers and Capt. E. C. Edwards of the Corcoran Cadet Corps were appointed a committee to visit other clubs that have applied for admission to the league, and make @ report on their eligibility for mem- bership at another meeting to be held soon. The delegates at the meeting were as fol- lows: Light Infantry, Messrs. House, Neu- meyer and Robinson; Corcoran Cadets, Capt. E. C. Edwards; Queer Wheelmen, essrs. Slack and Burgess; Mt. Pleasant Athletic Club, Messrs. Warther, Helmus and Dr. Hess; Eastern A. C., A. Century Cyclists, Messrs. Cobey and Good- ing; Washington A. C., J. Crupper; City Post Office, Messrs. Mathews and Ferris. There is some opposition to adopting the number of players on a team fixed by the rules of the A. A. U. A disposition has been manifested to have more than five, the regulation number, on a team. It is the belief of sincere friends of the game that such a departure would be a great error and would seriously militate against high rank of local teams compared with those from out of the city. cYC While the season of outdoor track racing may be over, and th2 sport of road racing is just being inaugurated, the season of in- door racing is beginning to be discussed. Of late indoor racing has become a big fea- ture of bicycle racing, and events of that kind are increasing every year. Unlike horse racing, cycle racing is a sport that can be witnessed both in and out doors with the same amount of pleasure. It may be tru> that while an indoor track ig nec- essarily shorter than an outdoor one, yet this fact does not detract the Jeast from “the sport. From a spectacular point of view, it is much better, inasmuch as the movements of the riders cam be #3en more clearly &nd mere frequently than on an outdoor track. ¢ So far as this city is conceyned, there is a- bright prospect of several ‘Indoor events being held this winter. Nothing. definite has as yet been--erranged, but the plans are being considered. The pfomoters of the project will be outside people who have the advice of local people thoroughly familfar with the racing game. The {n- door racing season will hardly begin before Devémber, and generally the leading event of the kind is the big six-day go-as-you- please race. which is held at Madison Square Garden, and over which so much comment has been raised. This is regarded as the biggest indoor event of the kind held in this country, and riders all over the United States, and many foreign cyclists, are attracted by the big prizes that are of- fered. All of the riders get in condition for this race, and in order to have every pos- sible point in their advantage refrain from entering any other events until after it is over. It is on this account that the Madison Square race is the leader of the season. After it is over the riders separate and take in other cities which announce events of 3 similar nature. As at present contemplated, the entire list of entrants of the Madison Square Gar- den will be brought down to this city, and give a similar event. If the New York race is held about the middle of December the local event could not come off within a month at least, in order to give the con- testants a chance to recuperate from their first trying ordeal. On that basis of calen- lation, the local event, if it comes off at all, would hardly materialize before the middle of January, and possibly as late as February. In the meantime, preparations for the first road race of the season are being pushed forward. The race will be held Thanksgiving day morning, and wil! be over the Conduit road, on what is known 9s the upper course. The distance will be ten miles. the start being at the spring in front of Glen Echo, thence to the Anglers’ Cinb House and return to Cabin John bridge, the finish being directly in front of the ho- tel. It wil! be a strictly amateur road renee and a large list of prizes will be of- fered. The local amateurs are thanking their stars that the season is practically over, and that it will not be necessary fér them to train fer future race meets. So far as cycle raging is concerned they are like a man without a home. They have no place where they can train. The third-of-a-mile board track of the Park Bicycle Club is just as much closed to them as if it was surrounded by a solid masonry wall six- teen feet high. So far as the management of the track Is concerned, the amateurs can train on the course, but the League of American Wheelmen interposes the objec- tion. The cyclists caynot ride on the track under penalty of being suspended for a more or less period, because the racing rules are violated by riding upon a black- listed track. Unless something turns up during the winter the riders will be in a sad predicament at the opening ef the spring season. The local division of the league is entirely too poor to build a race track, and it is hardly likely that any other persons with sufficient capital at hand will build a track simply for the sake of having a leaguo track in the city. The Van Ness Park track, used by the Columbia Athletic Club, is hardiy suitable for training purposes _un- less improved considerably. In view of all this, the amateurs are, indéed, in a sad predicament, though through no fault of their own. The annual election of the local division of the League of American Wheelmen will shortly be held, and the announcement of the date can b2 looked for within the next few days. It seems hardly likely that the interest in the election will be as great as last season. The nominating committee has selscted a list of officers for the en- suing term, but this fact does not prevent the naming of any new candidates that may be posted up for election by different individuals. With a loss of over %00 in membership since last year, and a propur- ticnats decrease in the interest displayed by the remaining members, the election will hardly excite any particular interest. RESULTED IN A DRAW. Arthur Jones and John Douglass Boxed Fifteen Rounds. Arthur Jones,the champion featherweight of the District, and John Douglass of Phila- delphia came together for fifteen rounds at Steubner's Road House last night. As both men were on their feet at the close, the de- cision was a draw. This was in accordance with an agreement between the men. Al- though neither had any special advantage at the finish, it was the general impression that Douglass could not have lasted many more rounds. He was much faster than Jones and was fairly clever in defensive tactics, but he had no punishing power, and his blows irritated, but did not hurt his an- tagonist. Jones rated his opponent too high and was overcautious. His friends are confident that if he had gone in and mixed it up more he would have won an easy victory. As it was neither man was urt. 014 Glory and Bine Jackets. The Old Glory A. C, yesterday defeated the Blue Jacket foot ball team in two twen- ty-five-minute halves at the = arsenal grounds by 42 to 12. Al. Grau’s and Owens’ all-round work was noticeable. Owens has been playing with the second V. A. C. team and owing to his good work on that team he has been signed by Manager Hourske. Five touchdowns were his record in yester- day's game.

BAYARD’S WILL, Exemplified Copy of It Filed With Register of Wills Here. An exemplified copy of the will and two codicils of the late Thomas F. Bayard, for- merly S2eretary of State, was this after- noon filed with the register of wills here. By his will, dated May 24, 1803, the testator left his house and lot, No. 1413 Massacnu- setts avenue, to his wife, to hold during her life. His personal estate is disposed of among his chiidren. Five hundred doliars is bequeathed to the vestrymen and church wardens of the Swedes’ Lutheran Church, Wilmington, for repairs to the church and graveyard fixtures. Samuel D. Warren of Beston, a son-in-law, and Thomas F. Bay- erd, jr., are named as executors. The first ccdicil, dated August 22, 1998, disposes of a colleetion of bric-a-brac and furniture, mbde since the signing of the will. In speaking of his horses, Mr. Bayard said In the codicil: “If from any cause the horses which I now own shall become aged and unfit for use I do not desire they should be sold, but mercifully put to death, unless some kind master will take care of them and treat them gently for my sake.” The second codicil, also dated August 22 last, names William S. Hilles, the prospec- tive husband of ‘the testator’s daughter Florence, as one of the executors of the es- tate. x5 Secretary -of The estate of the former State, it is said, is worth $200,000, P —<—— The Rev.

Tomor- row evening an entertainment will be given in Carroll Hall, on G street, by the Knights of St. Augustine of this city. The Brownson Memorial. This morning’s session of the convention was not called to order by President Mc- Guirl until shortly after 11 o'clock, meet- ings of the various committees being held meanwhile. Mr. E. C. Bonniwell of Philadelphia read the report of the archdiocese of that city. replete with interesting details of the work of the Catholic young men of that section. Charles Webber, treasurer of the Brown- son memortal committee, was introduced. He said looking back over the Catholic history of. America a» figure of the laity stands pre-eminently above all—a sterling patriot, who has handed down to posterity principles to be studied and thought upon, @ vast volume of erudition—Hrastus A. Brownson. The name.should be kept green inthe memory of ali—should be perpetu- ated. The committee, he said, felt 1t could trust this perpetuation. to the Catholic University of America, so at the last con- vention it was decided that an endowment should be the instrument for carrying out the purpose of the young men. As a re- sult of the labors:of “the committee in charge of the work hé: presented to Mer. Conaty of the Catholic University, who was seated on thestage|"‘the wherewithal,” as the speaker expressed it, “to carry out our intentions.” i 1% Mgr. Conaty argge, apd amid enthusiastic applause, declared that, by the act of the Catholic Young Méh’s nion, a bond with the Catholic University had been cemented never to be brokan.: He spoke interesting}: of the objects and work of the university, which, he said, is as thoroughly American as it is thoroughly Catholic—a university of the people. As long as the-institution_may stand, the Young Mén’s'Union can feel that it has a hand in dtssgovernment; in its work. H2 thanked the :convention for the earnest of their good will, stating what had been given the unitversity would be placed where it would:do the most good— among the lay’ schools. The delegates, Mgr. Conaty sald, 'Woild-be welcomed at the university tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock and shown’ the active work of the institution—thetr university.’ Mur. Stephan’s Work. Mer. St3phan, head of the Indian bureau of the Cathole Church, spoke interestingly and entertainingly of his work among the red men in the’ west, pointing out the great work laymen can do in this connection. The Indians wage war, he declared, and h2 ave them credit for doing so, for they have been cheated of their rights from first to last. Hs urged the young men to keap up their good work for the church and be- come heroes of Christianity. Dr. Laughlin, chancellor of the diocese of Philadelphia, and a former president of the union, was invited to the stage, re- ceiving a hearty welcome. He spoke of his interest in the welfare of the union, his loyalty and devotion to its objects and principles. The report of the committee on resolu- tions was read by Mr. Rodgers, secretary of the committee. After a lengthy pream- ble setting forth the work of the union and its interests, resolutions were adopt- ed expressing a renewal of fealty to the mother church; eongratulating the Presi- dent and people of the United States on the successful termination of the war with Spain, Lonoring and respecting those who fought . valiantly, and mourning the loss of those brave patriots who gave up their lives for country; expressing thanks to the hierarchy of the church for their interest in the convention, to the Carroll Institute for its princely ‘hospitality, to Commis- stoner Ross for his welcoming address, and, finally, recommending that-a standing Press committee be appointed. A resolution was tnserted calling atten- tion to the small number of Catholic chap- lains in the army and navy of the United States, and recommending that steps be taken looking to an ‘increase of the same. A standing vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Wall for work done for the unton. An amendment to section 2, article 11, of the constitution was adopted, Increasing the number of executive committeemen from three to seyen. The Delegates, The delegates in attendance are: T.

The census of 1890 shows the num- ber to be between 6,000,000 and 7,000,000, while Archbishop Keane recently estimate: that there were nearly 11,000,000 Catholics in the United States, During the 370 years since the first Catholic Church was plant here, the Catholic population has shown a devotion and a love for the country that challenges the admiration of the world” After expressing his pleasure at being present at the convention, Mgr. Martine! said: “It th ywers of darkness band them- paves together for evil purposes, so should the children of light band themselves to- gether for good. You are the children ot that light which the Heavenly Father sent to the world to enlighten the way in the paths of virtue and truth. The purpose of your organization’ is honorable; it is a xource of Improvement to yourselves amd a benefit to the church of which you are members, and it must be a source of benefit to the communities in which you live, be- cause it renders you more loyal to your church, and it renders you more loyal to your country and its best interests. “America, the Land of Genius,” was the subject of ‘a paper read by Dr. James J. Bowen of Brooklyn. “‘You are all aware of the fact that the United states,” said he, “is the greatest nation that has existed since the ancient days of Greece and me. There is nothing impossible for this country to do, and in its doings there has been a, characteristic method that has proved to the rest of the world the magnanimous caliber of her citizens. Justly has she been lJauded for the great progress she has made in the short period of her national exist- ence. The era of advancement, inaugurat- ed at the beginning of the present century, has witnessed discoveries and inventions that have excited the wonder and admira- tion of the civilized world; her literary achievements have elicited the warmest plaudits from men, the most eminent in the world of iétters; her explorations in the arts and sciences have amazed even the most skeptical. In a word, America is a synonym for progress in all that the term implies. To none, however, is our fair land of liberty more deeply indebted for the giant strides she has taken in her upward and onward march, and her present com- manding position among the nations of the globe, than to that grand array of men whose ‘Yankee ingenuity’ ’ devised ways and means, and then carried to highest consummation the emanations of’ their master minds.” Last night an entertainment in honor of the. visitors was given by the Carroll Insti- tute Minstrel Club, the members of which are well known to all amusement lovers uf Washington.
