HAD LOTS OF TROUBLE.
Story of the Game and the Cause or the
Iiltr Kick.
Oar slugcers scored a victory over the
Senators yesterday but the ending of the
contest was a very
unpleasant one and
the trouble was all
caused by an ex
tremely babish ex
hibition of the vis
itors. They refus
ed to play in the
second half of the
tenth inning when
deleat stared them
in the face and the
umpire cave the
game to the Pitts
burgers, 9 to 0. A
termination of this
kind is always un
pleasant and often
painful,
narticularlv when a contest is so
close from start to finish as that of yesterday
was. The rules are specially irameu to
guard against trouble of this kind and when
manacers and captains insist on acting like
school boys in a game they must take the
consequences.
Vi here the Bit: Kick Was.
The game had proceeded to the tenth
inning, the score being 2 and 2. The vis
itors were first at bat, and in their half did
not score. The locals then went in, led off
bv Terry, who got his bae on balls. Miller
followed and was hit on the arm, near the
shoulder, by a pitched ball. The blow was
a violent one and roirht have broken Mil
ler's arm. Of course Umpire Mitchell gave
Miller his base, and the visitors at once
raised a tremendous howL They claimed
that Miller had purposely held up his arm
to allow the ball to hit him. Mitchell, who
was close to Miller, argued different and
stuck to hib decision.
The matter was argued for nearly fifteen
minutes aid Captain Richardson tent and
held a conference with Manager Irwin on
the case. The manager very unwisely urged
Captain Richardson not to play, and Um
pire Mitchell had no other course but to
give the game to the home team, 9 to 0.
All rules and all argument are against the
course adopted by the Washington manage
ment. To raise an objection to a decision
o! an umpire is one thing, but to cairy out
that objection to the extent of taking the
team off the field is another, and is only
what little boys do when playing on the
lots.
It 'Was a Matter of Judtrment.
The decision was one of judgment en
tirely, and in this respect the umpire is sole
judge and ruler ot the game. The Pitts
burg team know this to their sorrow. It is
absurd to think that the decision will not
stand no matter how many protests are
made about it. If decisions of the kind
were to be overruled by such methods as
declining to play then there would be an
absolute end to the national game as a pro
fessional recreation.
It would be the most unfair conclusion in
the world to declare that Miller intention
ally held up his arm to be hit bv a ball
pitched at swiftly as Duryea pitched the
one that hit Miller The ball was traveling
with such velocity as to make it more likely
than anything else that it would break
Miller's arm- So player is prepared to
ruu that risk and certainly it would have
been dimcult indeed for Mitchell to come to
anv other conclusion than the one he did.
But supposing Umpire Mitchell's judg
ment had been a wrong one, that was still
no reason whv Manager Irwia should allow
his players to act like babies and disquiet
an audience. The truth is that the home
team had greater cause to leave the field in
the seventh inning than the visitors had in
the tentlu
W here the Home Team Suffered.
Mitchell declared Miller out at the home
plate when he was perfectly safe. Evi
dently Mitchell thought it was a force play,
as he called Millet out without McGuire
ever touching Millerat all. Had Mitchell's
judgment been correct at this stage there
would never have been a tenth inning. But,
although the decision was a bad one, it
did not by any means give the home players
license to leave the. field.
This leaving the field must be stopped
entirely. The ifew York team did the same
thing here this season, and a penalty much
greater than forfeiting a game should be
imposed on teams who thus treat the
patrons of the game. In matters of this
kind the" public is as much a factor as any
body else and the officials of the local club,
as a means of protecting their patrons,
should see if a fine cannot be imposed "on
the "Washington team for their very hot
head action
The contest up to the trouble was an ex
exciting one, Duryea pitched a great game
and errors gave the home players their two
runs. Terry pitched very well and was
brilliantly supported.
Scoied 1 heir FIrt Run.
In the second half of the'firstinning Miller
made a single to left and got to third on a
wild tbxowto first by Duryea. Donovan
was hit by a pitched ball and stole second,
McGuire making a wild throw. Miller
scored on the wild throw.
In the second alter McGuire struck
out Berger made a single to left and
singles by McGuire and Richardson scored
the run. Richardson's hit was a lucky one
as the ball bounded over Farrell's head.
In the seventh inning the home players
took the lead. Beckley was hit by a
pitched ball on the foot and stole second.
Bhugart's sacrifice sent John to third and
he scored on Bierbauer's single.
In the ninth the score was tied again.
Twitchell led off with a two-bagger to left
ana scored on Milligan's single.
The following score is that of the game
as played, but the umpire's decision was 9
to 0 and that is official. The attendance
was about 1,500.

SIGNED PITCHER MAHAFEE.
The Local Bail Club Will Try and Fine the
Senator 31,000.
Manager Buckenburger signed Pitcher
Manafee, of the Wilkesbarre State League
cluD, j estcrday. The young man is strongly
recommended as a good pitcher, and has
been doing excellent work in the State
League. When Manafee was signed Billy
Gnmbcrt was released.
Baldwin returned home yesterday, and ho
may pitch to-day's came. If he does not
pitch Ehret will. Klllon will likely pitch
lor the Senators again, and he may be
thumped hard.
Kelerring to the action of the "Washington
team in yesterday's game Manncer Buckon
bersjer said last evening: "We intend to try
and fine the Washington club as a means of
protecting our pations attaiust the repeti
tion cf such baby conduct. Section 54 of the
League constitution states very clearly that
for the withdrawal of the players from the
field durint: the protiess of the came a club
shall be fined $1 003, which must bo pita
within ten days, and the money shall be for
the benefit and use of the unoffending club.
"We dorf't want tbe money, but something
must be done to stop this childish work. I
think there is a clear case against the
Washington club."

Jim Lee Will Play V ith the Football Team
Next Fell.
Boston, Aug. 16. Special. Jim Lee, the
famous athlete of Harvard, '91, will return
to college next October and enroll himself
once moie in the list of Harvard athletes.
The announcement comes directly from the
lips of Dr. f-argent. The joung gymnast
will enter the law school as a first year
student, giving a proper amount of atten
tion, however, to athletics, lie isx a fine
baseball player, one of the best football
men Harvard has ever had and holda the
world's amateur lecord In the 220-yard
hurdle race. Manaeer Moore is greatly
tickled over Lee's return to the football field.
The three s(ars, Lee, Lake ana Corbett, will
undoubtedly change off at the half-back
positions fo.'some time after college opens.
Thete is no tloubt but that the Harvard
eleven this year will excel the team ot last
year. While all of the old men will return
and try for places, there aie some brawny
athletes besides Lee not on the team last
year who will push hard for positions. Ac
ton, the sinewy young Irishman, who was
ono of Harvard's crew at New L ndon last
month and holds the woild amateur record
lor throwing tbe hammer and puttinc the
shot, will be a candidate for guard. Joe Up
ton will compete with Waters lor his old
position alett tackle.
Lewis, captain of last year's Amherst
team, is another new star who will try for
center rush. Fairchild and Biewer, fresh
men, just from Hopkinson's, ill be two of
the luoit promising candidates among the
new men at the univeislty. Aheady they
are quite pioflclent at their preparatory
school as football men. At Harvatd they
will try forplaces behind the lino. Hallowell
and Emmons may be counted upon. Newell
will ceitalnlv be right tackle. Gage has a
pretty safe Hen on quarter. Trafford will, of
course, plav lull back, and Dexttr will be
found at lelt guard.

Corbett Tells McCaffrey to Put Up Some
Cash for a rijht.
Asbuby Pauk, Aug. 16 Special. When
Corbett read the conflicting statements
about McCaffrey's position in the morning
papers, he was utteily at a loss to know just
what McCaffrey wanted to do in regard to a
fight with him. Corbett said to your corres
pondent this morning:
"McCaffrey places himself in "a very
peculiar position by making a statement in
one of the mornlnc papers and contradict
ing it point blank in another. If he thinks
he has a chance with me, I will undertake
to stop him in four rounds at the Madison
Square Gat den on September 12, five days
alter my fight with Sullivan, or if lie prefers
I u ill go to the Manhattan Athletic Club
and undertake the same task. If he wishes
a ten-round co or a flcht, I will meet him be
fore the Coney Island Club any date he may
name before Oeto'ber 1, I am too busy at
piecnt to engage in a lengthy newspaper
controversy, gotten up to advertise Mr.
McCaffrey, and if he wishes to accept any of
the pioposltions, it is only necessary to
arrange a place of meeting and post the
necessary cash deposit."
Corbett has been resting for a few days to
prevent coing stale, but commenced his
hard training again thla morning. William
A. Brady, Colbert's manager, has engaged
Sara Stevens, of San Francisco, who was the
wife of John C. Heenan, the Bemcia Boy,' to
play the hero and mother with Corbett in
"Gentloman Jack."
W hat Domlnlck Says.
New Yore; Aug. IS. In reply to the offer
of Jim Corbett to pay $250 to Domlnlck Mc
Caffrey for each round ho stayed in a box
ing contest, tbe latter had this to say to a
JTorld! reporter last night:
"If the Manhattan Athletic club will per
mit me to box Corbett in the gymnasium of
the club or at Madison Square Garden I will
cheerfully accommodate tne Callfornlan. I
will box him four rounds, ten rounds, or to a
finish, just as he chooses, whether he wins
or is defeated at New Orleans. Furthermore,
I will bet him my year's salary that be can
not stop me in lour rounds."

H. C. T. Wins a Great Trotting Eace at
the Springfield Meeting.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAI
New York, Aug. 16. The attraction at
Monmouth Park to-day was the Omnibus
stakes for 3-year-olds, and a rich magnet it
proved, for, with the rest of the card lack
ing a single attractive feature, it served to
briug out a large crowd. The regulars were
on hand in force, and the neighboring sum
mer resorts sent more than their usual
quota, making altogether one of the best
crowds of the meeting. As to the big
race, it was somewhat of a disappointment,
for while all honor is due Yorkville Belle
for her victory, the second and. third
horses wonld surely beat her were the race
run over again. Both had been brought
down from Saratoga aud were plainly short
of work. The race will improve both
greatly, and when they meet again the
order of to-day is almost sure to be re
versed. The other races were of a kind
that one could hardly enthuse over, as
Kingston was the only' favorite winning
during the afternoon. Kingstoa captured
the first race, yet hardly in the .way ex
pected, for he was hard ridden all through
the last quarter to beat Fred Taral a length
and a half.
"With Dr. Sice scratched in the second
race the talent divided their, opinions and
dollars between Hamtnie and Lovelace, but
at the finish both were beaten, Miss Maude
winning handily from Stowaway, the latter
an outlaw colt, as he ran at Outtenburg last
winter. Lovelace was third.
The third race was the Omnibus, and to
see the money pouring in on The Pepper
one would think the race was already won,
but be failed to run anything like as good
as expected, and finished only a fair third.
Mars and Bashford were pacemakers for a
mile, and then the whole field took close
order. They ran this way to the lower end
of the stand, where Yorkville Belle and
Huron left the others, and in a fighting
finish the filly won by a length. The time
of the race 2:36 was only fair. , The
fractional parts were: Quarter, :26; half,
:51; three-quarters, 1:18J mile, l:45i; mile
and a quarter, 2:1L
The Bancocas stable pulled off their
flood things with Julian in the fourth race.
They got as good as 8 to 1 for their money,
and in the race saw him make all the run
ning. Estelle won the last- race in easy style,
running at Yemehs' neck until well into tbe
last furlon?, where she came away and won
easily by three lengths. Summaries.
First race, six furlongs Kingston. 10 to 5, won

GRAND CIRCUIT TROTTERS.
HOT Wins Qnlto a Baca at the Spring
field Opening.
SpncrarizLP, Mass., Aug. 16. Special.
Hampden Park once more opened its gates
Xo the Grand Circuit steppers this afternoon,
and while there were no sensations the
second number on the programme was one
of the greatest mixtures seen since the
sulkies began their flight five weeks ago at
Pittsburg. It was the 2:19 class that fur
nished all the sport, for Addle L proved
worthy of the confidence placed
in her for the 2r25 class by a
straight heat victory, .Nellie McGregor
keeping her busy tor two miles. The first
beatwaSibutapreliminnry skirmish to the
real battle. Bowen sent Jesse Hanson along
in the second heat, passing Daphane at the
half ana shaking Burt Sheldon off in the
homestretch in 2:17. Hanson lost tho pole
eatly in the third beat and Burt Sheldon
opened quite a gap to the hair. Here Turner
moved up with HOT and onUooted the
gelding home bv a driving finish in 2:17. It
was 3 to I againstH C T even after thi8,
and he seemed .more distressed than any of
the others after tho fourth heat.
Lightning had come out full of trot this
tlmo, and Mart Detnarest, who sat behind
tho bay mare for the first time in a race to
day, kept her level and lifted her home jnst
in lime to beat H C T by a short length. The
mile was in i:TVi. Turner asltPd permission
to lay up with H CJT tbe next time, and'
wiioii tiese liansougocinngieuonine nome
streich Bither came on with Bravo, and the
mare from Allen farm just saved her right
to keep in the game by a mile in 2:19. She
got no part ot the money after all, and to
everybody's surprise H C T proved tho
winner. Jesse Hanson finished ahead of
him in the sixth heat, but had taken quite a
gnllop at the start and was set back for this.
The seventh heat in tho twilight found H C
T equal to a faster clip than in the sixth, and
nanson was three lengths back with the
others, all pretty weary.

WILL DEAW THE LINE.
The Southern Wheelmsn Won't Have
m
Negroes In Their Bicycle Club.
New Obleahs, Aug. 16. Special. In
reference to the protest of the Louisiana
Division, League of American Wheelmen,
against the admission of negroes to that or-.
ganlzatlon, a reply was received to-day from
H. E. Raymond, of Brooklyn, Chairman of
the Racing Board. Mr. Raymond gives ex
pression to his appreciation of the feelings
of the Southern wheelmen on 'the negro
question, but adds that it would be unfair to
usk that the negro be.' eliminated in the
North, where he Is not so obnoxious and
does not run up against whites as irequently
as he does In the South. Mr. Raymond
further states that each division has the
power to , ass prohibitory laws on this ques
tion, or they can have amendments offeied
to the constitution at the annual conven
tion. The writer says that if the question nar
rows down to a selection between the negro
and the Southern member the iormer will
bo uncoiemourously bounced. Thete ute
only about six negroes conneoted with the
league, but the members of the Louisiana
Division are determined that they will have
them ousted or draw out of the league them
selves. A npecial meeting will be called, at
which a resolution to exclude the nero in
this State will probably be adopted. 'Ihe
delegates from Louisiana to tho National
Convention will be instructed to bring up
the nero question a.id fight vigorously
against the entry of the black men.'

locks yesterdav were the OUle Neville. Two
Brothers and Bennett. '

barges. She expects to get in on the present rise.
The Little Bill came down from Homestead ves
terdsy. A squad of men from Company E. Tenth
Regiment. Is still guarding the boat. She returned
during tbe afternoon with some supplies.
THE work on the new SlTth street bridge is prov
ing a great hindrance to the boats passing up and
down the Allegheny. With only a small space be
tween the scaffolding for them to pass through,
great care has to be taken that the barges in tow
are not sunk.
THE Tide was delayed more than an hour yester
day afternoon. She continues to make two trips
dally. A barge loaded with supplies Is taken np
on her afternoon trio. The squad of police under
Captain Sllvts Is still on guard and keeps the wharf

at the three foot mark.
Captain Cox, lnjdtcusslngthe possibility ofa
new picket betng built Tor the Plttsrrarg and Mor
gantown trade, yesterday said: "rhe building of
the railroad from Charleston to Morgantownwlll
take so much trade away from the river that I
don't think another boat will be built. It would
not be a paying venture, as a boat such a we use
costs $25,000, and to put that amount Into a new
?acket when we already have three Is not likely,
t Is not settled yet whether that railroad win be
built, but ir It la the Idea of a new packet would
not be entertained by the company."

weeklvmeetin- vesterdav. discussed vivi
section, but no conclusion was reached on
the subject. Mrs. C. S. Petterman was
elected a member of the,society. A vote of

John Jones Tries an Old Scheme to Get
Money and Is Locked TJp.
A man giving his name as John Jones
was locked up in the Twenty-eighth ward
station last evening for working the deaf
and dumb racket in .order togetmeney.
He was in a store at the corner of Seven
teenth street trying to induce those there to
lend him aid, as he was apparently a mute
and iriendless. He did not succeed very
well. Forgetting himself he irent into the
street and began talking to a policeman.
Officer Scheety came up and arrested him
as a vagrant. It was afterward learned
that he had just completed a term of three
months in the workhouse. He will be
given a hearing this morning.
He Wanted a Watch.
Fred Meyers, a Cincinnati resident, went

ence street, West Hud, but is too poor to do
anyshing lor his son. The man will be

Gre&i
Hog
Is welcome abroad once
more, and abroad he may
go. As long as Lard was
a requisite in every kitchen,
the Great American Hog
was highly esteemed at
home; but now that modern
science has introduced
C0TT0LES.E
the new vegetable substi
tute for Lard, poor Piggy's
occupation's gone.
The reason for this .13
threefold. jCottolene is
cleaner, healthier and much
more economical. A trial
has convinced thousands
as to this. It will convince
any "convincable" person.
Will yon be convinced ?
