Yesterday he had Grady on third in place of Mercer, and the former's errors were costly. Grady cannot field as well as “Win” and is not in the latter's class in other qualities, Philadelphia continues to win and is sol!a- ly anchored In first place. Only two defeats have come the Quakers’ way, but they have been p ‘ing for the most part on their own grounds. ‘There was a rumor in Philadelphia yester- day that Magnate Reach had gone over to Brooklyn with the intention of securing McGraw and Robinson for his club. With these two men on the Phillies the cham- pionship would be easy, but the question is, Do Messrs. Reach and Rogers desire the trophy? The game on the Georgetown campus next Saturday between the wearers of the blue and gray and the Y. M. C. A. promises to be a treat to the lovers of the great Sport. The association boys are undoubted- ly @ strong aggregation and are confident they can take the collegians into camp. Donovan's Pittsburg friends will present him with a watch and chain valued at $200 when he plays there today with St. Louis. Five ex-pitchers are playing other posi- tons on the New York team—Van Haltren, Gleason, Mercer, Hickman and Foster. Manager Selee has discovered that the Bostons need their old leader in the game, and Captain Duffy will be in harness once more in a day or two, when his shoulder js better. Head work tells in base ball. “Playing third base,” said Captam Kel- ley of Brooklyn, “1s lke politics. One Jay they come easy and you are on top, and the next day there is an avalanche and you are underneath." Next fall the trouble will begin once mora in earnest. The association move will not down, with Washington and Baltimore dead ripe for the new move, and the entire press of Philadelphia aching to whoop her up for anything to injure Reach and Rogers.—Bos- ton Globe. Just after Philippi had presented Barrett and Crawford with bases on bells Sunday Clarke gave a little Ariie Latham exhibi- tion of shoe-string tying in order to give the Pittsburg twirler time to collect his bear- ings. Foxy Fred not only untied the shoe string, but unlaced it as well. Anson concludes his book by saying that the proposed new American Base Baill As- scciation is not dead, but sleeping, and he intimates that future years may yet see him in the management of the thriving Chicago ball club. As Willis is also suffering from a lame wing and Dineen is a warm-weather pitch- er, the Boston club will make an extra ef- fort to get Ted Lewis back into the fold. Lewis is coaching Harvard, but has prom- ised to help out if Manager Selee should want him. Boston's pitchers are not up to the standard required in the game these days when facing the hard-hiting clubs of the east. Charley Nichols, Boston's famous pitcher, will be out of the game for the next month at least. In the first inning of the game at Brooklyn Saturdey he snapped a small liga- ment in his elbow and had to quit. He must now have of the New York base ball club ran to the rescue of the panic-stricken women and children and effected many heroic rescues.” “Take a man like Jimmy Ryan or San- dow Mertes and he'll get safe to second as many times as a fast man like Hamilton if he's stealing steady,” said one fan. “When Billy Hamilton gets on the first sack the whole team braces to prevent his steal- ing. The pitch is planned especially for his benefit up where the catcher has a clean catch and a chance fe swing and get the ball away fast. and there is the speed in it both ways. So'the ehances are Hamilton will be thrown out oftener than more cautious, sure men like those mentioned.” Y. M. C. A. Defeats Gallaudet. The Y. M. C. A. team has become quite a winning aggregation with Twirler Nichol- son on the rubber, and this opinion was substantiated yesterday at Van Ness Park, when Gallaudet was snowed under by the score of 7 to 0. Nicholson was in first- class shape, and held the Kendall Green boys down to five lonely hits, all of which went for nothing in the matter of driving runs over the plate. On the other hand, the association lads took kindly to Rosson’s delivery, pinking his curves for twelve hits and obtaining a majority of them in punches of twos and threes. Back of Nicholson was a stone wall in a fielding sense, but one misplay marking the team’s work throughout the afternoon's play. Gallaudets fielded only fairly, four misplays costing heavily, as two were made by Center Fielder Waters, and should have Green, who played first base ociation, Was the bright star of eliminating Nicholson's work. the game, He made four safe hits, two singles, a dou- ble and a triple. The Washington Anglers. The Washington Anglers, a club formed for social and fishing purposes, was or- ganized Monday at the McGill building by the selection of Wm. H. Bayly as president and C. M.

The third congress of the Women's Whist League was opened at Detroit, Monday night, with an elegant reception tendered by Detroit Jadies to the ex-presidents and president of the lIcague. Play for the league trophies opened yesterday morning. There were fourteen entries for the Wash- ington trophy. Cincinnati leads in the con- test. The Baltimore team, captained by Mrs. Ellen S. Goldsborough, is in seventh place. In the contest for the Philadelphia cup the pair from Pottsville, Pa., is at the top of the eighteen entries. In the morning open game there were twenty-eight tables, and in the evening open games fully 250 players participated. Representatives from the eastern cities are in a majority.

To the Editor of The Evening Sta: The United States will be forced to real- iz: that she will never obtain satisfaction from Turkey by moderate methods. Why is it that the sultan fears Russia, England and Germany? It is because these coun- tries never enter into discussion with the Turkish government; they command, and the sublime porte knows the significance of their word To obtain satisfaction from a Turk money must be held in one hand and a whip in the other. If the one fails the other will be sure to succeed. At this time the Turkish army consists of about corps d’armee. Each battalion is made up of 73) men. In one division there are six battalions of infantry and twelve battalions of retifs, two batteries and two squadrons of caval All men are armed with the Mauser guns. ne fleet is just a toy. It is composed of three cruisers, namely, the Hamidich, 6,700 tons; the Ayizieh, 6,400 tons; the nie, 6,400 tons, and of ten torpedoes. The erve squadron is stronger in number, but weaker in {ts power of attacking. It is composed of three cruisers, the Miso- dieh, 9,000 tons; the Orkhamieh, 6,400 tons; the Nedjun-i-Chefket, 2,08) tons, and ten Besides these there are the Ma- homondieh, the Assai-i-Teufik, eight crui- sers of 2,000 to 4,000 tons, eight gunboats of 200 tons, and twenty-five torpedo de- siroyers. In time of peace, with the ex- ception of several gunboats,-all the fleet remains at the entrance of the Golden Horn at Constantinople, and is never sub- ject to any revision by the officers. When Greece declared war against Tur- key Im 1897 there was noi one vessel that Was able to leave the Bosphorus in less time than a month. When the vice admiral reviewed the warships he found that all the copper had been taken and sold, and that a number of cannon of small caliber had shared the same fate. I was fortunate enough to be on board one of the torpedoes belonging to the first squadron and went on it as far as the Dar- danelles. From Constantinople to the Dar- danelles the distance [s about 100 miles. We left the Bosphorus at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and when we arrived the fol- lowing morning the captain of the torpedo found only one cruiser at the Darda- felles. The sea had been like a lake, but most of the officers did not know how to use a map or a compass, thereby being forced to follow the coast Hne, and two torpedoes returned to Constantinople, having lost their way. When, at last, the squadron did assemble in the Dardanelles, it remained there till the end of the war, the officers being afraid of not finding thelr country if they ever lefi Turkish waters. This is the strength of the nation whose sultan has promised for four years to pay $90.000 to the United States, which promise will be held only when an American cruiser has visited the Smyrnese weters.

The fire is reported to have been a severe one, burning for two days or more. The dry condition of the woods made the fire burn freely and much timber was destroyed. Some residents had wood piled up in the region burned over by the fire, and a lot of thia was consumed, one citizen losing over thirty cords.

FAVOR ORGANIZATION. East Washington Churches to Form ¥. M. C. A. for That Section. A meeting was held Monday evening last at the Christian Church, on 9th street northeast, for the purpose of considering the subject of establishing a Young Men's Christian Association in East Washington. ‘There were present about fifty representa- tives of the churches of all denominations im that section of the city. Mr. H. F. Harmon of the Ninth Street Church acted as chairman and Mr. T. R. Pirtle as sec- retary. Those present were enthusiastic in the support of the proposition. Mr. Paul FE. Sleman, the secretary of the Yashington Y. M. C. A., was present and Gressed himself in favor of the proposi- tion, if a sufficient membership to support the organization could be obtained. He said his association would be glad in suc! a case to lend all assistance possible. _ A resolution was adopted to appoint a committee, consisting of one member of each church present and represented at the meeting to draw up a resolution and formulate plans necessary to complete a preliminary organization and to call a mass meeting in the near future to consider the project and take final action thereon. ‘The people interested in this matter have had two previous meetings, and the senti- ment in favor of forming the organization is very strong. One reason for such sep- arate organization is the inconventence of reaching the headquarters of the present association, on account of distance and want of street car facilities. eS HAYFORD’S DEFENSE.
