IN SPORTING CIRCLES An Easy Victory for the Georgetown Team. END OF THE LOCAL GOLF TOURNAMENT Naval Cadets Outrow an Eight From Yale. CURRENT NOTES OF WHIST One of the most disappointing games of the season was that played Saturday after- noon between the Georgetown and Y. M. C. A. teams. The latter organization had been “tipped” off as something above the ordinary run of ball teams, but the game put up by them Saturday was of the night- mare order. the wearers. of the blue and gray winning by the one-sided score of 16 to 2 The association boys had been slam- ming the ball all over Van Ness Park with their trusty bats, but when Blewett faced them Saturday three little measley singles were their batting record for the day. Be- sides batting poorly the association team led like a band of sailors, ten misplays being charged against them, and it requir- ed a wide range of imagination for the scorers to keep the errors within those lim- its. On the other hand the Georgetown lads d good ball from the start. The collegians had been led to believe that a strong proposition would be forthcoming when the ¥. M. C. A. faced them, and for this reason put forward their best efforts. As a result the collegians made a runaway race of it and won out in the easiest sort of fashion. BASE BALL.

The Easterns, on the other hand, could do nothing with their bats, thirtecn of them striking out and but six Safeties were placed to their credit. Baxe Ball Notes. If Georgetown can defeat Brown on the coming trip it is more than probable that the blue and gray will claim the college championship again this season. A special from this city says that Man- ager Shetzline of the Pfilladelphia club has made Shortstop Moran of Georgetown a flattering offer to join the Quakers. Moran is undoubtedly due for major league ranks, and if he can couple-up with a first-class team so much the better for him. “Buck” Freeman secured two doubles and a triple Saturday, while Barry, who played short instead of Herman Long, was ex- ceedingly spry both on the bases and in the field. > urday the Georgetowns play their first game away from home, facing the formidable Tigers at Princeton, and a battle royal should follow. A majority of the wiseacres of the cast- ern press claim that the Cincinnatl team is playing ahead of its gait, losing sight of the fact that Manager Allen's men are w ning games with their bats. The Re pitching staff is one of the best in the league, and they have not been working up to their right gait. When the entire out- fit begins to work together it will be well for the other seven clubs to watch them very closely, as they are playing heady ball. Comiskey says that he will keep ‘Tommy Dowd on first base regularly. ‘The young gentleman of the lurid garment, the pink- ccated darling of the Tim Hurst tea party, is not hitting as he should in the American League. At Chicago Tebeau got after Childs the first day, but Cupid handed him a hot one and Patsy shut up. “Go back to your bench,” says Childs. ‘Its’ a good thing for you Muggsy McGraw didn’t slide out here, or you'd be twisting brakes on some rail- road." Tebeau didn’t know how to take it and closed the josh. Donlin is a wax baby In the mitt of a left-handed pitcher. That Mike secured one hit off Waddell does not speak well for Rube. For a good hitter, Donlin is the worst that ever happened when he stacks up against the left-handers. But he was a mascot. His team won the first game he played in. Wise Willie Joyce, the omniscient sage, is about with a chip ‘on the shoulder where his good wing once hung, an@ a girthy roll in his pocket, which he yearns to bet upon his partner Tebeau’s ability to land his band in premier position. The wisdomful William wants 4 to 1 for his “cush.” Considering that poor Charley Nichols has about ee ip his pitching checks, that Hughes will not join Brooklyn; that Pittsburg looks like a very bogus band, and that none of the other clubs have got much to show, it does not look like a bad wager for Bill, though one week ago it was $30 to 30 cents that Tebeau would do well to land in the first four.

WAS A BASE BALL ENTHUSIAST, E. 0. Leech Raised a Nine to Play the Red Stockings. The recent death of Edward O. Leech, vice president of the Second National Bank, and previously director of the mint, led Paul Hines, the ex-ball player, to re- late an Interesting story. Thirty-one years ago Leech was employed in the Treasury Department in Washington and was a great base ball enthusiast. He organized @ club, of which he was manager, captain and pitcher. Hines was his catcher. The team was strong for an amateur aggrega- tion and easily defeated all the clubs in and around Washington. That year, 1869, the famous Cincinnati Red Stockings came east on a tour and Leech secured them to play his nine. For a week prior to the contest Leech had his men in training and was hopeful of winning from the western- ers. The Reds, the most celebrated ball club of the time, were considered almost invincible, but Leech had hopes. The Reds’ roster was as follows: Asa Brainerd, pitcher; Doug Allison, catcher; Gould, first base; Sweenzy, second base; George Wright, shortstop; Waterman, third base; Andy Leonard, left field; Harry Wright, center field; Cal McVey, right field, and Hurley, substitute. Each’ one of the above left his impress more or less on the pages of base ball history. The ma- Jority are dead. Doug Allison, now an old man, holds a position under the govern- ment in this city, as also does Paul Hines, Both veterans are comfortably situated. Hines recalls that Davy Force played short for Washington, but cannot remem- ber the complete list‘of players. A large crowd assembled to see the contest, which was considered the sporting event of the season. Capt. Leech appeared on the grounds, lugging a basket gfilled with lemons, which he distributed” among his players for “invigorating purposes,” so he said. But the lemons did no good. The Red Socks made a runaway game of it and won by an enormous margin. Leech took the defeat much to heart, but did not quit the sport, as he was instrumental in or- ganizing and maintaining. clubs in Wash- ington in 1870 and.’71. He was always loyal to the national pastime and never forgot his old base pall companions after reaching prominence in both official and business circles. He always helped them to positions after théy were unfitted for further service on the diamond, and by all of them the news of his death was heard with genuine sorrow. “BOWLING.

It was decided that the three clubs tied for the championship should bowl off at the Business Men's al- leys in South Washington, the games be- ing played on May 9, 11 and 15. The first match will be between the Carroll Institute and Saengerbund; the second between the Saengerbund and Y. M. C. A., and the third between Y. M. C. A. and Carroll In- stitute. In order that a decision would surely be reached the team making the greatest number of pins in its six games will be declared winner and awarded the league cup and also temporary possession of the handsome trophy presented by the Business Men's team. Messrs. Storey and Kidd were appointed umpires for the three matches, and Messrs. Rodrick and Schaeffer will be official scorers. Since there are sev- games tn Baltimore a’ week ago, came over to Washington Saturday fight for the re- turn match. The local team had sweet re- venge, capturing each event, but the glory of winning was an absent quantity, all of the games falling below the standard set for the Washingtons, and one victory, at least, being attributable to sheer luck. The Catholie Club showed a decided reversal of form, every man doing poorly throughout the match, and each of their team totals having a forlorn appearance. For one thing, the games abounded in splits—more than twice as many appearing than the average game produces. In one frame every one of the Baltimores were split, and they were wide apart, impossible ones at that. This naturally furnished opportuni- tles for fine work, but in the second and third events the visiting players threw away many chances, repeatedly missing easy Spares, The match was bowled at the Saenger- bund, and the Washingtons were to a con- siderable extent unused to the alleys, so that the Baltimoreans did not have the handicap which was imposed on the Wash- ingtons when they met the Catholics on era! players tied for the prize to be awarded for the greatest number of strikes, and Gorman of Carroll Institute and Miller of Business Men's Bowling Club being tied for second highest game, a series of three gBames to decide those ties will be bowled by the players concerned at the Y.

The American Whist League trophy was played for Saturday at Baltimore, the con- testants being the Baltimore Whist Club four and the team representing the Scran- ton, Pa., Whist Club, When these teams faced each vther some weeks back the Scrantons scored an easy win, but Satur- day things were reversed, the Baltimoreans winning by 17 tricks. This makes thirteen wins for the Baltimore team, twenty being necessary for permanent holding of the trophy. The Players were: Baltimore Whist Club—W. A. Thomas, P. E. Williams, 8. W. Fitzgera!d and Beverly W. Smith. Scranton Whist Club—Messrs. Broadbent, Doll and Smith. The team representing the Philadelphia Whist Club will be the next challengers, ous another exciting contest can be looked ‘or. All the Washington whist players who at- tended the Detroit congress of the Women’s Whist League arrived home last night highly pleased with their week's experience in the wolverine city. While no first place trophy prizes were secured, several top- score pins were brought home by the ladies of the city, while the Washington Whist Club four, captained by Mrs. McCrea, se- cured a handsome silver loving cup for fin- ishing second in the Washington trophy match. ‘he Washington ladies speak in the highest terms of their treatment by the Detroit reception committee and also the liberal facilities afforded for playing the different matches. Next season the con- gress meets in New York, and an innova- ton will be the charging of 50 cents en- trance fee for the different pairs partici- pating in the matches. The New York peo- ple promise an elaborate entertainment for the ladies next year and claim that this fee will enable them to carry everything to a successful conclusion, Healey, Close of Golf Tournament. The most successful golf tournament in the brilliant history of the Chevy Chase Club was brought to a close Saturday afternoon. There was a large and distin- guished attendance of spectators, and in the evening these and the players took dinner at the club house, and afterward enjoyed a dance. The silver governor's cup, which was the prize in the chief event, the match play of 18 holes, commenced last Thursday, was won by Mr. Grant of the Brookline Golf Club of Massachusetts, who defeated Mr. Lockett of the Chevy Chase Club 3 up 2 to play in the final game. The Consolation cup was won by Mr. Horstmann, despite a series of vexatious interferences, who defeated Mr. Lewis 1 up. A medal handicap stroke competition in which sixty-five players started and forty- two finished was won by Major H. C. Car- baugh, who made a gross score for the 18 holes of 96, which, with his handicap of 18, made his net score 78. Popularity of Golf. There are not less than 1,500 golf clubs in the United States. The golf players in this country are esti- mated at 250,000. Fully 35,000 persons are given employ- ment by the golf clubs. It is believed that $20,000,000 is spent on golf annually in the United States. Cadets Defeat a Yale Eight. In an exciting race Saturday at Annapo- Ms, the naval cadet crew defeated an eight from Yale by three-quarters of a length on a two-mile straightaway course. Rough weather caused the use of the upper course beyond the Severn bridges. The crews took positions at 5 o'clock. The cadets were encouraged by the academy yell, and when they had won, the cheers from the spectators on the government steamers ard launches were deafening. Revolver Clab Active. The members of the Washington Revolver Club was agreeably surprised the other evening by a visit from Dr. Reginald Sayre of New York city. Dr. Sayre is president of the National Revolver Association and is one of the most famous revolver shots of the country. After an exhibition of shooting by the members of the Washing- ton club, Dr. Sayre expressed the desire that at least three of the local men should be eligible for places on the national team which is to engage in a revolver match against a team of Frenchmen June 15. The coming contest is attracting the attention | F. Saylor, E. M. Lotz, F. Webe of marksmen all over the count: and it would add much to the pre-iige of the local club to have representation on the national team. The monthly match for April closed with the following scores of the team contest- ants, the conditions being ten shots at twenty yards, military revolvers: Lieut. W. Farrow, 46; Major J. E.

Four new members are to be elected at the regular monthly meeting of the club this evening. A Visit From Baltimore Cyclists. Members of the Century Cycle Club of Maryland came over to Washington from Baltimore yesterday. The riders left Eil- mondson and Fulton avenues, Baltimore, at 6. a.m. and proceeded to Ellicott City, then out the Clarksville pike through Ashton and on to Washington. Washington was reached at 10:30 a.m. Without mishap, and a dash out to Cabin John bridge brought the riders in a condition to appreciate a bountiful din- ner. Among those who made the trip U. H.

Ethelbert Wins the Metropolitan. Ethelbert of the Perry Belmont stables, with Danny Maher up, won the Metropoli- tan handicap at Morris Park Saturday, be- fore 20,000 persons. He was favorite in the betting, and beat out the card by three lengths, Box taking second piace by a neck from Imp. The time was 1414. A year ago Ethelbert was beaten for the Metropolitan by Filigrane, when it was thought he had a rare chance to win, but Saturday, when his owner and his trai thought he was not up to the race, he ga loped home with a good bit to spare, mak- ing the other horses look like selling-plat- ers, followed in by the uncertain Box, while the great mare Imp finished third. — Infant Abandoned. A colored woman, whose name is yet un- known, yesterday afternoon abandoned a fully developed child on a vacant lot at the corner of 15th and Binney streets, Mt. Pleasant. The baby was a boy, and was found lying in the grass without covering. Police Officer Henry Ehler, when patrol- ing his beat, was approached by a colored man, who stated the facts. The officer im- mediately investigated the matter and a patrol wagon carried the child to Freed- man's Hospital, where it was discovered that its life was extinct. The negro stated that his name was George Hill and gave a description of the woman. The theory held by the police is that the woman placed the dead child there with the purpose of aban- doning it and escaping the small necessary expenses which a burial would incur, —— Thanksgiving Service. ‘Thanksgiving service was observed yes- terday at Falls Church by the United Brethren Lodge, No. 3510, Grand United Or- der of Odd Fellows. A large number of members were present from Washington. Addresses were delivered by Past Grand Masters James L. Turner, Walter J. Ab- rams, George T. Beason, Joseph N. La’ son and Henry N. Bowles. James T. Tur- ner of Falls Church presided as noble grand. The Society of the Household of Ruth served the visiting guests with din- ner.
