The Central High School boys went over to Van Ness Park yesterday afternoon to face the Y. M. C. A. athletes, and as a re- sult were treated rather harshly by the reception committee, the score being 11 to favor of the latter, Twirler Herring was feeling pretty well and had the pl« ure of holding the school boys down to five hits, widely scattered through the nine in- nings. Durdin also pitched a fairly goud game, but it looked poor in comparison with his opponent's work. Both sides played very creditable bail in the field, the three errors of Atchinson being the only misplays charged against the .Y. M. C. A. while the three errors of the Centrals were vided among three of their players. Quite a large crowd of spectators were on ha‘ to cheer on their favorites, and consider- able enthusiasm was displayed over clever plays rs of both sides. The fielding of Warman, McQuade, Mills, Sta’ ly and Jacobson was unusually brilliant all the chances coming thelr way being handled faultlessly. Ready for Challenges.

University of Virginia scored an easy win from the Pennsylvania ‘varsity boys yesterday, the score being 19 to 4 in their favor. Carter held the Quakers down to three hits, while the Virginians had a try at three of the visitors’ twirlers. The fine showing of the Y. M. C. A. team has not scared off the local clubs, as the Gallaudets will face them tomorrow at Van Ness Park, and others will soon get into the fray. The New Yorks are playing ragged ball, but winning at that. When the Giants once strike their gait it will be well for the other clubs to watch them closely. The Ewingites have completely jumped the “sure thing” hurdle. Heidrick of the St. Louis has blossomed out as a first-class flelder, his work so far this season being of the most sensa- tional order. When Heidrick first came into the big league he was a “‘obste1 ever there was one, as far as fielding went, but Emmet has always been a natural born hitter. Boston lost the first eight games played owe season and yet won the champinoship. The Beaneaters are making another bad start, but wait until the hot weather lim- bers up the joints of the veterans, and they will be winning games in bunches. Many of the Georgetown students were willing to wager $10 to $ last night that the Quakers will be defeated today. The Pennsylvania boys’ poor showing against Virginia sent _up the odds, which were for- merly $7 to $5. Dick Cooley is being he'd up by the Philadelphia club. He will not be released, and was offered a contract calling for $1,200, As Dick received $2,100 last season he properly refused to sign a contract. In- stances of this sort of injustice is a ming the new American Association to the front, and will make it popular. JOCKEY O'LEARY KILLED. Skull Crushed in a Fall at the Aque- duet Track. Frank O'Leary, one of the best known of American jockeys, was fatally injured on the Aqueduct ‘race track near New York yesterday afternoon~ dying before reaching er hospital, to which he was at once car- ri = ‘The accident occurred in the fifth race, @ six-furlong ten horses starting. When approaching ie half-mile pole, G. E. Wightman, with McJoynt up, stumbled and fell. Randy, OLeary riding, stumbled over Wightman, ‘throwing O'Leary with great force. Pettifogger, Hewitt in the saddle, fell over the other horses. McJoynt and Hewitt scramb\ed tq! their feet, as did the horse Randy, Hut 6'Leary lay where he fell. The other two horses also lay still, but later revived. “When assistance reached o it was found that his skull was terribly crushes, and that he was other- wise injured. He was placed in an ambu- lance and hurried to a hospital, but died before reaching‘theré. McJoynt and Hewitt escaped serious injury. O'Leary was born at Prescott, Ontario, in 1879, and under the instruction of Mr. W. P. Burch of this city devel- oped into a very skillful rider. Dur- ing the past two years he rapidly forged to the front, and his services were always in demand. His honesty was unquestioned, and his devotion to Mr. Burch, despite very advantageous offers from other horsemen, marked his gratitude for the man to whom he was so much indebted. O'Leary was particularly well known here, and as the winner of the first race of the spring meet- ing of the Washington Jockey Club was presented by the club with a silver cup for successfully inaugurating the eastern rac- Ing season of 1900. O'Leary was badly in- jured in November, 1898, at the Benning track, when he fell with the horse Decep- tion, receiving Injuries which laid him up in al for several week: CALIFORNIA'S CRACK TEAM.

To the Edltor of The Evening Star: Let me add a little to the interesting story in Tuesday's paper about the new leather aprons of the blacksmiths on Easter Monday. Once upon a time there was a great king, perhaps Alfred the Great, who wished to show his appreciation of fine work. So he sent word to the masons, car- penters, painters, blacksmiths, tailors, can- dlestick makers ‘and the rest, each to do his level best on a piece of work. The king would go on a tiresome journey, over a stony road, but he would return by 5 On Easter Monday he d a grand feast in the castle , to Which the artisansgwere to be in- vited, and the one whose work had pleased the King best should sit on his right hand at the feast as a guest of honor. I have read a list of all the fine things they made, but I cannot now call them up. However, the tailor brought the most gorgeous robe the king had ever worn. The sheen on the cloth would dazzle your eyes, and as for gold and silver ornaments, they weighted the king down when he put it on. The blacksmith, who must have been an odd sort of man, finding that the king would go on a journey tomorrow, went over to th: yal stables and shod with his own hands every horse that would be in the caravan. So good was the metal, so tought were the nails and so deftly every one driven and clinched and filed down that not z shoe was cast on the outward or the home- r s ward cours When the guests were assembled, just before the doors of the dining hall’ were opened, the king's clerk read out the judg- men? pronounced on each man’s work, calling at the same time the number of his seat at the table, Of the tailor he said: “This man’s work appealed to my vanit he gave me real discomfort for comfor he has mistaken his sovereign’s spirit al- together; he shall sit at the foot of the table. Qn the other hand, the smith nas enabled me to go through the roughest road in all my kingdom and to return with- out the casting of a shoe. He shall sit at my right hand.” ‘The others were seated by numbers according to merit. The smith, who had washed himself as clean as a penny and donned a brand-new leather apron, sat at the King’s right hand, and the tailor went to the foot. They tarried at the table along time, but while they were laughing and geing on the tailor dis- Appeared: As all. tought that he had gone out for chagrin they paid no more attention to him. Not so; he was mad with jealousy, for he hated the smith, and, slipping along ustier the table to where the smith was sittfig, Hauled out his shears and cut the smith’s few brown apron to rib- bons and fringés aff across the bottom. Then he slunk away, The smith was mad enough when he saw what was done, and wanted to pound the tailor sorely. But the king said: Not so; it is not meet that such a happy time /should be marred. I will order all blacksmiths to wear fringes on the bottoms of their aprons as a badge of honor.” So that is why blacksmiths put on new aprons af Easter Monday, and also why the lgwer edge is fringed. ves 0.

The flowers, it is true. are beautiful and abundant, but the grounds themselves present a very unkempt appear- ance. There are great tufts of rank grass, garlic and countless weeds, and in many places great patches of bare earth; the flow- er beds and paths are untrimmed, and, alto- gether, things look very much neglected. Certainly in the national capital, where there are such great possibilities and where everything should be in the highest state of perfection, there should be no room for such adverse criticism. Who is responsible? It is hoped that steps wili be taken to im- prove the present condition. AN OBSERVER. ap a a a HYOMEI WILL Protect You Against Infection. Just Breathe It.

Major Sylvester’s methods of dealing with youthful violators of the law have had the effect of reducing the number of arrests of children for infractions of the municipal ordinances, although boys are arrested from time to time for more serious offenses. Soon after Major Sylvester took charge of the police department the problem of what to do with children confronted him. We knew a number of unnecessary arrests were being made, and he set about to put a stop to the practice and correct the conduct of the young in some way other than by taking them into court. _Obfecting also to putting children in ordinary po- lice cells, because of the ill effects, Ma- jor Sylvester, among other things, sug- gested that instead of being treated as or- dinary criminals the boys arrested should be held in witness rooms. The parents of the lads, the major thought, could inflict more effective punishment In most c than could the judges of the Police Court. Carrying out the ideas of their superintend- ent, the policemen have been reporting the misconduct of the youths to their parents and their work is bearing fruit. At thia season of the year, after being practicaliy indoors for many months, the boys, it is said, have been in the habit in previous years of annoying citizens and committing violations of the several ordinances by throwing stones, playing dangerous games on the streets and similar offenses, and many arrests followed. There has been a noticeable change in their conduct this spring, it is declared, and very few arrests for such offenses have been made. gee A Word for the Hucksters. To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘As so much has been said in the papers against the so-called huckster nuisance, will you permit me, as one of the hucksters, to say a few words on the other side? As Mr. Dodge says in Tuesday's issue, there are abundant railroad facilities and enough markets. But unfortunately there are many people in Washington who have to watch their pennies, and until the railroad ride is free and the lady of the house can go out without a change of dress she will probably patronize the huckster, who pays the Di trict a license fee and is entitled to a ltt protection under the law. “As to the “crying out” nuisance, the busy housewife simp! listens. If she needs any of the goods me tioned she comes to the door, examines goods and prices, and If satisfied, buys; huckster goes on his way and the trai tion is ended. Now, abate the “crying ou ruisance and what is the result to the housekeeper? Simply that her doorbell would be rung so many times in a day by hucksters, industrious insurance men (a greater nuisance than the hucksters now) and a hundred others that she would h. to hire some one to do nothing but attend the door. Of two evils choose the lesser, and remember that what is a nuisance to some objectors is sometimes a blessing to the overworked mother with five or six little ones to care for, who, notwithstanding the fine railroad facilities, markets, etc., finds it impossible to get there. Mc. Se Driver Seriously Hurt. Frank Cooper, a colored driver, residing at No. 309 7th street southeast, who had charge of a censits office team yesterday afternoon, was thrown from the wagon at 7th and G streets northwest and seriously injured. The accident was the result of the wagon colliding with a City and Sub- urban car. Cooper's left leg was fractured, and he was also injured about the body and shoulder.
