LOUIS LOOMS UP - Adding Orioles to Browns Makes Them Formidable. A HITCH IN THE TRANSACTION New York's lucky Magnate Given Some Good Piayers. CURRENT SPORTING NEWS The report from Brooklyn Saturday night that McGraw, Robinson and Keister had been sold to the St. Louis club for some- thing like $15,000 has created @ sensa- tion in the base ball world. The St. Louis club had already purehased First Baseman McGann and Outfielder Donovan, and the addition of the Baltimore trio Pushes the Tebeauites to the front as a strong possibility for the pennant flag next season. On top of the Brooklyn re- port comes another from Baltimore, dated last night, to the effect that McGraw and Robinson declare most positively that they will not go to St. Louis, but are willing to be sold to an eastern club, The business of the two Baltimore players is worth con- siderable, and they want to take care of it. That is their side of the story, but Man- ager Hanlon has another that may make them change their minds. It is to the effect that the players Will go to St. Louis or remain idle during the season. McGraw signed a contract to manage the Baltimore club for the coming season at a salary of 36,000, and Robinson was to re- ceive $3,5) to act as captain, Whether the couple are able to stand the loss of nearly $10,000 in six months’ time is a question that can be answered by them alone. But the “nigger in the woodpile” is the desire to get some of the purchase price of $15,000, The Baltimore players know that Hanlon will not recelve this money unless they report in St. Li . If Hanlon is will- ing to divide, say, $5,000, among McGraw and Robinson, $4kx) to the former and 32.000 to the latter, they will probably come to the conclusion that the muddy water of the mound city is healthy, after all. Messrs. Hanlon, Ebbets and Abell are not backward in intimating that this nice little plum is what the two Baltimore players are after. Magnate Robisen of St. Louls and the Brooklyn-Baltimore people were still in ses- sion at a late hour last night, and it is more than probable that some sort of an unde! standing will be reached before many days ass by. Py th Robinson behind the bat, McGann on first, Childs on second, Wallace at ‘short and MeGraw on. third, with an outfield made up of Burkett, Heidrick and Dono- van, the St. Louis club looks about as geod as the best, and will be picked by the big majority of base ball followers to fight it out all down the line for pennant honors. New York's Lucky Magnate. Magnate Andrew Freedman of New York {ts certainly the luckiest of men. Other club owners are compelled to go out and hustle almost continually for good players, and in addition pay out large sums of money. Freedman remains at home and with a contented smile views the procession of magnates as they pass by and drop pearls in the way of players at his feet. Mercer was the first gift erman from Pittsburg, detphia, and Dowd and Harley from the Cleveland outfit. On top of this Mr. Brush walized to the front and deposits Al. Sel- bach at Freedman feet, a player that co: the Cincinnati magnate a cool $5,000 la season. The t er of Meekin to Bo: ton last seagon was, of course, a “fake. and he will come back, and should the different presents continue to come drew's way he will doubtless be able to good team in the field with- expenditure of a penny. Should the : York club take the field this season in er winning shape it would be a good idea te watch the maneuvers of the other seven magnates toward strengthening the club or permitting the Giants to win through sharp practices. It bas been given out that New York must have a winner, and there are more ways than one to bring about this much-de- d end. Weak pitching talent can plzced against the Giants ac every oppor- tunity, but woe betlde the magnates if the players once get on to the fact that they are helping the New Yorks out through un- pe derhand methods. The word would passed down the line and the oth »s Would simply put forth their s to bring about the club's downf Crooked methods in base ball will never be tolerated for a minute, and the sooner the National League magnates arrive at this derstanding the better it will be for the game. Washington Benefited in the End. As to Washington being left out of the National League for the coming summer, it is a sort of bitter dose of medicine that will ultimately do the city lots of good from a base ball standpoint. Washington is a first-class ball town, and next season a first-class team will be with us. In the meanwhile, minor league ball will keep alive the interest and make the enthusiasts appreciate the finer article when it is dis- played before them next season. The Philadelphia club is not in the best ot shape for the season's approaching work. Billy Lauder, who play: plendid third bese last s tirement fre First Baseman Goeckel will 2 an offer of $4,5) for McGam, tbid by St. Louis. With bases pod aken care o! fit will simply be in the coming season, as the league circuit will be per cent stronger than it was last seu- son. Demontreville should be bought at all hazards, placed on second and Lajoie re- turned to first base. This would still leave the third corner vacant, and Philadelphia may have a problem before it that worried Wavhington for the past five years—a com- petent third baseman. The league has for sale the release the Washington players not disposed of agner. They are: Evans, Fifield, Davis, Magee Kittridge, Duncan and Powers: Padden and Hulen; Outfielders O'Brien and Stafford. Of these. $1 asked for Slagle, and $1,000 each for Evans, McFarland and O'Brien. The Quakers made put were first and third Infielders ashington Club Team Scores an Easy Victory Over Cranfords. The third whist match for the capital trophy was played last Monday at the resi- dence of General Saxton. The contesting fours were the Washington Whist Club and It proved to be a one- sided battle, the former team winning by seventeen tricks, as follows: Washingtens—1, 1, 5, 0, 1, 0, C. @ Total, 8 Cranfords.....0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0, 0. 5 Washingtons. 0, 0, 0, ©.

The two teams were: Washimgtons—Mrs. McCrea (captain), Mrs. Davis: Mrs. Ruff and Miss King. Cranfords—Mrs. Benham (captain), Mrs. Clagett, Mrs. Ogden and Mrs. Ed- munds. ® The Yarborough team No. 2 will be the next contestant for the trophy, and a close score is expetced. The Yarboroughs com- prise the following players: Mrs. Wood- ward (captain), Mrs. Kinne, Mrs. White and Miss Stearns. The match will be played Thursday. The whist committee of the Columbia Athletic Club has issued invitations for an elaborate compass whist game tomorrow evening, to take place at the rooms of the club. Play will begin promptly at 8 o'clock. It is expected that the gathering will be a record-breaker in the number of tables that will be needed to accommodate those in at- tendance. An enjoyable evening was spent at the rooms of the Yarborough Club Friday night by the members of the Schmidt Whist Club. Compass whist was played, eight ta- bles being necessary to accommodate the players. Some excellent playing was in- dulged in by the different pairs, the long suit tactics having the call, but “common sense” wax also brought into use to get around difficult problems. Mr. Townsend and Miss Hodges had top sco west, 151, white Mr. Pilling and east and Mrs. Bibb Were second with 140. Mr. Kennedy and Miss Fuller headed the north and south column, their score being 137, Mrs. Dyer and Mrs. Coffin being close up ‘with 136. The American Whist League trophy match, scheduled for Newark, N. J., last Saturday night, was not played, as the Chi- cago team failed to put in an appearance. The other eastern teams will now breathe easier as there was a fair possibility that the western four would win the match and take the trophy west. In that case all eastern teams desiring to play for the trophy would have been compelled to jour- ney to Chicago to meet the holders. Jt will be some time before another western team will have the opportunity to challenge the holders of the trophy for a match. Next Saturday the Knickerbockers’ representa- tive four of New York will play Newark, and a contest full of interest 1s sure to fol- low. ATHLETES WENT TO BALTIMORE. Y¥. M. Cc. A. Honors Saturday N: Athletes from the local Y. M. C. A. took part in the Indoor athletic games of the Baltimore Athletic Club and St. Leo's Gym- nasium at the 5th Regiment Armory in Bal- timore Saturday night. The wrestling matches and relay races were for championship of Maryland and District of Columbia. M. C. A. team won the twelve-lap relay race from the Baltimore Y. M. C. A. team. Physical Director William M. Mackder- mott of the Johns Hopkins University was more than pleased with all of his many entries, for upon a count of points in the usual way the standing would be: J. H.

Van Dorn, a well-known Chicago restaurateur, at the Shoreham. “I refer particularly to beer bottles. You have often noticed stamped or blown into a bottle the name of the bottler or that of the brewery. Many bottles were lost or broken until the persons interested got to- wether and established a clearing house; and it {s just as much of a clearing house as if money were at stake and drafts and checks were dealt in instead. A bottle is treated as if it were 5 cents. Under the old way only the person who sold a bottle of beer, charging 15 cents therefor, would re- deem the empty bottle. Under the new system any dealer will purchase an empty bottle if the bottler whose name appears upon it is a member of the clearing house. And I want to tell you that it is a big busi- ness and a financial saving. In Chicago we maintain a central station. The man in charge, whose business is to see that the bottles are placed in a pile for their respec- tive owners, draws a yearly salary. Any proprietor or dealer in the organization wiil buy a bottle which contained an article other than what he sold, for he knows that he can take it to the clearing house and get exactly what he paid for it.’ T saw a novel sight in Washington a few days ago,” observed Robert J. Smith, gen- eral agent at Philadelphia of the Southern Pacific railroad, at the Ebbitt. “It was that of a stylishly dressed woman having her boots polished in a public street. She occupied a chair in front of a Pennsyl- vanla avenue store and, while the colored fellow was looking after her shapely feet, seemed absolutely oblivious to the attention she was attracting from pedestrians. A railroad friend, in whose office I was di- rected my attention to the sight across the street. When the shine was completed she stepped down from the chair with an alr of a person who. had accomplished a wonder and, after fumbling around her purse, gave the boy a coin. She then tripped along up the avenue, still apparently unmindful that a score or more of men had been watching her. I suppose some persons would sneer- ingly call her a ‘new woman,’ but even at that, I don’t see anything objectionable to a woman's having her boots polished, and in the street, if she feels so inclined.” “The greatest business mind I ever stacked up against is possessed by a for- mer proprietor of a meat market in my town,” said Littleton S. Jones of Canan- daigua, N. Y., at the St. James. “This erstwhile butcher has a fine, squeaky voice that can be heard a block away. Tricky? Yes, that's just what you would call it. I used to watch him sometimes when he was waiting on customers, and it was positively amusing to note the ease with which he would make a two-pound steak weigh ap- parently. three or more pounds. He would grab a couple of pounds of meat and throw it on the scales so that the pointer would show four pounds, and then’ take it off before the scales could register the true weight. ““There’s just four pounds exactly,” he would say to the customer in that squeaky voice of his, and then continue with the statement, quickly made: Four times 12 is 58; call it 60.” “And unless the customer was watching him closely he would always get even change. He was fn the meat business only a few years and amassed a competency. Then he left it. What worries me is how he Is going to get along now. I understand he has embarked in the real estate busi- ness, and I wonder how he works it when he selis a piece of land. The scales won't help him much there.” “When I left home a few days ago ex- Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster was confined to his house with an attack of grip,” said W. M. Tobin of Fostcria, Chio, the Raleigh. “Mr. Foster is de- veting mucn of his time to busineas, and is understood to have regained sume of the fortune he lost in bad speculation half a dozen or more years ago. His mother ts still living at ninety-six, and is as hale and hearty as many women two score years her junior." ps “The democrats of the country and you newspaper men will be accorded an ocular demonstration of what a great western city can do in .he way of entertainment said W. 8. Lioyd of Kansas City at the Na- ticnal. “The peeple of Kansas City, re- gardless of party affiliations, are working hand in hand to see that those who come to the democratic national convention shall be well taken care of. able sum has been r: amount contributed to the na- tional committee, and no trouble will be encountered in securing all the money that The Washington Y.. | lite a \E-PRICES SHATTERED y An Emergency!!! ‘Phe response to the announcement of our great “EMERGENCY SHOE SALE,” inaugurated last Saturday, has been a 3 days’ wonder to all Wash- ington!
