WON BY CENTRALS Eastern High School Eleven Badly Beaten. MEMORABLE DAY AT NATIONAL PARK Supporters of the Teams Were Out in Force. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES The Eestern and Ceatral High School foot ball teams met at the National Base Ball Park for their annual game, and at the conclusion of the contest the Centra! team had atoned for its defeat last year by administering a severe drubbing to the boys from the Hill, the score standing 36 to 0. The game was interesting, although rather one-sided, and a large number of the students from both schools witnessed it and added to the excitement by explod- yells whenever some brilliant ay warranted. All of the boys and girls sported their school colors, and the grand stand presented a very pretty sight, the light blue and white of the Easterns biend- ing nicely with the darker blue and white of the Central school. although heralded an their opponents, showe¢ ing school I as. i strength in the line, both in and defense. All their gains were made through the line, the ends being worked but very little, while the long runs mad the Tes ings in the Eastern ult of finding easy open- rush line.

The Second Half. It was confidently expected that the East- erns would take a brace in the second ha!f and show up in better shape, but they dis- appointed these expectations, for the Cen- trals made three more touchdowns, Under- wood kicking very pretty goals from all three, thus placing the final score at 36 to ®, the Centrals making eighteen in each half. Tindall made the running in this half by his remarkable work enabled the trals to make all of their touchdown three of his long runs that brought his result were made from the )-yard line, the first one for rds, the nd for 20 and the third for 17. Devl made all the touchdowns in this half, 2 ing him a record of five for the game. | De: lin made another long run in this half w he returned the ba!l from the Cent yard line to the E: after a kick. The only thing that oceurred to mar the enjoyment of the game in this half were two altempts at shady playing. Some mem- ber of the Fastern term kicked Devlin in the head during the early part of the half, but that gentleman was so occupied that he did not seem to notice it, or, if he did, he made no return kick about it.’ The other incident occurred just after a kick by the Fastern full back. Devlin was in a post- tion to cateh it, while an Eastern man stood just in front of him to tackle him when the ball descended. Jones of the Cen- tral team. however, interfered with the Eastern man in such a way as to knock him head over heels and corstitute a very questionable play, so far as clean fot bail is concerned. The Centrals were penalized for this break by a loss of ten yards, zain- ing it later, however. on a foul tackle by an Eastern player. Only once in this half did the Eastern team succ2ed in bringing the play into the Centrals' territory. They se- cured the ball on off-side play on their own 30-yard Hne and by quick rushes through the line succeeded in placing it on the Cen- trals’ 45-yard Mne. Here Worseley essayed a kick, but dropped the ball and was forced to make a drop-kick out of it, which, how- ever, was a lucky accident, as it sent the ball bounding in an erratic fashion to the Centrals’ 15-yard line. The Centrals took a hand here, however, and, with the aid of two runs by Underwood and Tindall and the foul tackle, which gave them ten yards, mentioned above, managed to push Devtlin over the line for another touchdown. Un- derwood kicked the last goal, just at the call of time. The playing of Devlin and Tindall was the feature of the game. Underwood's work was also worthy of much favorable comment, while Ellis played his position at quarter with hardly a flaw. The interfer- ence was worked to perfection in some cases and accounted for many of the gains made through the Eastern line, and for ali nd Cen- An out sterns’ TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. drug- Pepe ap tue money If It fall te cual ‘Be. genwne has L.

The Easterns seemed to lack snap when they got the ball, and their formation for line rushes did not seem to give them the requisite speed necessary. Consequently when the Centrals’ heavy line made a firm stand they were unable to do much with it. ‘The line-up: Eastern H. 8. Positions. Central FL. S. Stark. «.. Center . Sherwood Hyme: .

Fight Between Feather Weights Be- fore the Lenox Athletic Club. Since the Maher-Sharkey fight, the Lenox Athletic Club of New York has never held such a large number of spectators as it did last night, more than 8,000 persons being present. Dixon was favorite at odds of 100 to 80 on in the fight with David Sulliv the Irish pugilist, but all o: s quickly snapped up by the friends of the little Irishman that even money ruled in- side of twenty minutes. More Di n money made the odds 1W to 60, and “Spike” Sulli- van, brother of David, placed of 100 to 80. The boxe af s weighed in at 3 erneon, to make 122 o'clock in the but Sullivan Was one ‘pound over weight. Dixon gave him one hour to get to the limit, and by 4 o'clock Dave si ed a few xinces under the required weight.

James Colville of Boston Was chosen by mutual ent as referee hrough the unlooked-for impul s and stupidity of his brother “Jack, Ue Irish pugilist lost the bout. A left-nand hook from Dixon, which caught Sultivan on the head, almost put Dave him out of the business, but he pulled self together only to go to the floor, r the ropes, from a push. This occurred par the end of the round, and ek Sulli- van evidently thought that tim up. While Dave was trying to regain his feet, Jack jumped through the ropes and then ran back again. A moment later, just as ne Dave stood erect, Jack jumped into the ring again and ran over to the referee, shouting as he ran, “Time is up, time is up.” James Colvillé of Boston, who was sree, looked at the impulsive youn amazement, and then spoke to the keeper, who said: “Two forty only.” Colville declare the bout over. Sullivan could not understand what was up, as Dixon made no effort to go at hii, and then the whole thing flashed on aim. He appeaied to the referee to let him con- linue, but Colville had no alternative. Sul- livan Was net beaten when the fiasco oc- rred, but he would have been. CENTURY CYCLE CLUB. The run last Sunday was made in the afternoon and up the Conduit, under the command of Capt. Ed. S. Byrnes. The following riders were bunched: Analiy, Wathen, Bolden, hausen, Abell, Woerne H der, Stevenson Me- Armstrong, Barg- lliams, Shee! and Griffith, The basket ball team was organized for the coming season | week. The follow- ing members will compose. the team: M Byrnes, manager; L. F, Abell, E. H. Monroe, Jno. F. shausen, Howard Cobey, E. M. Posey, N. Benner, J. A. Galeski and Geo. Wathen. The captain of the club, E. 8. Byrnes, was unanimously elected manager and Lou Fabell likewise captain of the team. These two gentlemen were re-clected to their respective positions. ‘There are several members of the club whose fine work recently has been the talk of the wheeling public, not only locally, but in other citles, namely, Messrs. Harry Park, Wm. F. Maher and R. C. Williams, the former in his fine record ride and the two latter in their long distance ride, Maher 400 miles in 42 hours and Williams 300 miles in 32 hours. . The regular meeting of the club was held last Monday night at the club rooms. The meeting was well attended. The resigna- tion of Mr. Frank A. Jones was accepted with regret. Several changes were made in the by- laws of the club and new articles added to the constitution. A house committee, com- posed of Messrs. Byrnes, McAnally, Grif- fith, Williams and Benner, w ppointed. Mr. Allan A. Hollander was elected to fill a vacancy on the membership committee. The congratulations of the club were ex- tended to Harry Park for his record-break- ing ride on November 3 and 4, when he es- tablished a new record between New York and Washington. A committee, composed of Messrs. Cobey, Wriffith and Boyle, was appointed to select a date and make the arrangements for the second annual entertainment and dance of the club. Mr. Oscar P. Schmidt was elected an hon- orary member of the club. The names of several of the delinquent members were dropped from the rolls for non-payment of dues. Captain Byrnes has been confined to his bed the past week with a severe cold. His condition is much improved, however, and he will take command of the centurions to- morrow. The club will leave the club house tomor- row afternoon at 2 o'clock on a cross-coun- try run. Howard Fisk, secretary of the club, will leave at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning for Baltimore. He will try and get in his usuel century, finishing on the shell road, Balti- more. Mr. E. H.

IN CHESS CIRCLES. ‘The games in fhe local tourney are being played with a good geal of regularity, and bid fair to be fintstfed on schedule time. Since the last report Warren beat Tucker and Woodward beat Prender. The game between Captain Q’Fhrrell and Mr. Kaye was not finished. Tap serve of the tour- ney is the drop in Mr. Harris’ play. It is probably accounted for by the fact that living in Alexagariaf[ when he comes up Saturday evenings he is not content, like the other players, in getting through with one game. He tries tg play the whole tour- ney out before hé stops. He will get in the game before the finish, however. te 8 The standing of the players to date is as follows: : Wis Xe O'Farrell 5 0 Thomas. 4 1 Mm yy 3 1 2 1 2 Captain O'Farrell, who last month was appointed on a committee, of which Mr. James Lesser of Boston is chairman, for the purpose of formulating a plan of union of national chess clubs, has received no- tice of a meeting of the committee in New York early in December. Each member is asked to formulate a plan. The Brooklyn club has received the ac- ceptance of its chailenge to the British Chess Club for the fourth match for the Newnes trophy, to be played January 1 and April 1, 1899. New Yor! is about to suffer the loss of its young Napoleon of chess, W. B. Napier, the astonishing boy player, who is to re- move to Chicago. The American Chess Magazine announces that Pillsbury will make a tour of th country this winter under its managemen in blindfold and simultan-ous performane The English are making preliminary ar- rangements for an international tourney next May. Five thousand dollars have al- ready been subscribed to make it a desir able affair, of which Sir George Newncs the donor of the cable match trophy, do- rated one thousand. It is proposed to have sixteen players—to be selected by the com- mittee of arrangement—nlay a two-round contest. The Ladies’ Chess Club of London has had a match with the University Club and defeated them wholesale, seven wins and a draw to nothing. Look out for them. young fellows. They must be Morphy every one of them, for he could never n up his mind to win from a woman. The tourneys of the former generation was conducted on principles far different from the present plan.

Lately two rounds are coming into vogue, and the Washington club hak it to its credit of being among the first to inaugurate the plan. : The betterment of chess notation is a matter of frequent comment in these days. It*is admitted that the Germanic naming of the squares is superior to ours. With us cach square has two designations, with them but one. Thus, white’s QR square iy Al in the German code, in the English it is for white QR squar> and for black is QRS, losing in distinctiveness and also the number of letters ussd. On the other hand, our notation of the moves is a little simpier than the! maove 3 rs, or instance, recorded by them Ez b to note mev>s on the king's we save nothing, thus 2R4, is marked by them A2—A4. A blending of the two would produce a perfect system. A German and Amer! residents of this city, on coming together and having a few informal gz to a more formal match. But ficulty occurr=d. The German didn’t know the Eng! method and the An didn’t know the German, so they ¢ a new code based on each. plan of naming white’s first row < first eight letters and the other squares by figures, and the English method of naming the piece moved, was adopted. Thus, P—K4 in the English and E2—B4 in the German ecde became P—E4, and P—QR4 in English and A2—A4 in German became P—A4. The simplest notation ever used in English is Lowenthal’s edition of Morphy’s games. Besides other forms, he dropped the dash between the letters, which, if misplaced, as it often is by th2 compositor, will stop any but an experienced player.

The time limit is fifteen moves per hour. The following game was played by Mor- phy blindfold against the whole Versailles Chess Club. It was a great test of his powers, thus to be pitted against the united efforts of so many men, skilled in the game. The result depended on one thing—he could see more moves deep into the game than therefore deeper than a It is in keeping with the eternal fitness of things that they played the French defense.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: As the trend of public sentiment is toward peace and good will to all men; as the Czar of Russia recommends the disbanding of national armies; ‘as the United States has svccessfully conducted a war against the tyranny and oppression of Spanish rule tn Cuba and contiguous. islands, the thought comes to me that the American negro may be compelled to appeal to England for pro- tection in this “land of the free” and home of his birth. Queen Victoria protects her subjects everywhere. Would it be against the Constitution, that promises protection to all of its citizens, to petition Great Britain in behalf of the poor negro of the south? Tke comparison between the apathy of this government toward the treatment of the southern blacks and the bozsted hu- manitarian zeal to succor the poor Caban is not complimentary to the administration. Is there no law by which President Mc- Kinley can reaca the barbarous action of the advocates of “white supremacy in North Carolina?" Humanity calls for action, and I trust that the all-absorbing idea of territorial expansion, even though based upon humane principles, will not over- shadow the duty of the administration to protect the humblest citizen of the United States at home, The stability of a republic ig never secure unless based upon eqnaiity of rights to every citizen.
