Whether the report 1s true or not. It demonstrated that Manager Manning nas not been Idle, and '.f there is such a thing as getting players of the Delahanty. Flick, Wolverton stripe to come to Washington, the local followers of the game have enough confidence in Manning to believe that he is the gentle man to turn the trick. Manager Manning could have had Harry Wolverton with the Senators this season, but for the fact that the building of the grounds and other responsibilities that go with the placing cf a new team in a strange city kept him continually on the go and prevented a heart-to-heart talk with the clever third baseman. Wolverton has a liking for Washington and his leaning this way makes the story plausible that Manager Manning has him savvlQhin^fon cover. Wolverton stopped in V\ ashington last spring on his way to Philadelphia, and if ever there was a player who threw _out hints that he would like to be a Senator, Harry was the man. But circumstances froze Wolverton out of Washington for this season, and it is to be4,h?P^ matters will shape up differently for 1902. Manning Secure* New Men. Ed. Delahanty. the other Philadelphia!! assigned to Washington for next season, 3 undoubtedly one of the grandest playersi in the business. He has been with the Phil lies so long that he evidently believes he has outlived his usefulness there, and a change would do him good. The signing of Hughey Jennings was a sore pill to "Del. as It placed the former in the position of captain and made the veteran take his.or ders from the younger man. Lnder these circumstances. It doesn't take a very man to comprehend that the signing of Delahanty wouldn't be such a matter if the right price was offered. Manager Manning is a warm personal friend of Delahanty's. their dating back to the time when the Sena tors' manager was with the Bostons of the National League and between the two a man's word is as good as his bond. Manager Manning was seen this morning by an Evening Star reporter, and in reply to a query as to whether there were any developments in the reported ? the Philadelphia players, he said that mere was nothing outside of the newspaper re ports. Mr. Manning still maintains that he has not been dickering with the Philadel phia players. . Mr. Manning admitted that he has bfen out scouring the country for players; that he had signed several, but that for busi ness reasons he could not at this time make their names public. The Washington patrons will rest content with the assur ance that he has secured new men. The Raid on tbe Phillies. The author of the story of the contem plated wholesale desertion of the Philadel phia National League club reiterates his assertions In today's North American. The writer of the article Is very close to the players and magnates, and the chances are that he has made public facts which should have been kept under cover for at least two more months. He says: "There was a brief lull In the kidnaping of the Quakers following the story that Manning was after the colonel's premier acrobats, and this gives all hands a chance to smoke another pipeful. Denials from Rogers and others are all right, but the fact remains that Washington stalked a lot of Quakers, and will undoubtedly land some of them. Manning needs good men and needs them badly. His two stars. Mike Grady and Joe Quinn. are seriously bunged up, having been stepped on by the Orioles. While he may be unable to secure understudies for them this season, there will be something trans piring in the spring. "Of the list of Quakers likely to jump or considering offers Delahanty is said posi tively to have signed to play left field and captain the Senators. There Is no loud talk about It. but the tip Is given out on the quiet. Douglass, Flick and Wolverton were seen by Manning, and. while they may not go over, there is something -doing. Jack 14tsch is also Included in the deal with McFarland and Cross, but these young men are inclined to be non-committal. This Is the season for base ball fumes, and the Quaker City Is doing her best to keep up with the procession." Raid on the National League. That there will be a big raid on the Na tional League players next fall, if it has not already taken place, is almost a fore gone conclusion. There was a conference at Cleveland yesterday between Comlskey, Somers and Kllfoyle of the American League, and at Its conclusion the news was given out that the Cleveland team would be transferred to another city next season. This news is important, as it is authorised, and comes from people who are supposed to know what they are talking about. As regards the raid for players, Charley Co miskey was seen after the Cleveland con ference. and in reply to a question said: "The report that we have signed a num ber of National League stars for next season is true. Our teams will be as much strengthened over this sea son's clubs as they are today over last year's. If the National League has emissa ries among our players trying to get them they will have a hard time, for all the players taken from the National last year are under two and three-year contracts." Chicago, 17) Cleveland, 2. Chicago had almost a walkover at Cleve land yesterday, the Spiders being snowed under by the score of 17 to 2. Dowllng was wild and also hit hard, but his sup port was very poor, nine mlsplays being made by the Cleveland team. Attendance 2,310. Score: Cleveland. R.H.O.A.E.

Columbia, OwlnK to Time Allowance, Scores Another Victory. The Constitution covered the triangular course of thirty miles yesterday, off New port, R. I., In thirty-three seconds less time than the Columbia. The champion of 'S)tf, however, wins the race on time allowance by about thirty seconds. No corrected time can be given, as the boats have not yet been remeasured. as required. In previous races the Constitution had allow ed the Columbia one' minute and seventeen seconds. What change in measurement the new rig of the Constitution has made is not known, but it Is estimated that she now allows the old boat only a few seconds less time, if any. The finish yesterday was the noteworthy and only exciting feature of the contest. When within a mile of the line the Constitution made a short tack that undoubtedly lost hef the race. CANADIAN , BOAT WON. ?I 1j Second International Yacht Race at CliicnKo Goes to the Invader. In a twelv?knot breeze and a smooth sea. Invader, the Royal Canadian Yacht Club's challenger, won the second race of the int?rnationaI series for the Canada'3 cup yesterday, off Chicago, almost as easily as the defender, the Detroit Boat Club's Cadillac, won the first race last Saturday. Invader gained 4 minutes 27 seconds on what was intended to be a beat to wind ward of nine nautical miles, but which, by reason of the wind hauling before the yachts had made two miles to weather, became a close-hauled reach, and on the run home off the wind the challenger add ed nearly two minutes more to its lead. Cadillac had no chance yesterday to avail itself of the increase allowed in its spinnaker boom. On the homeward leg Cadillac's big bal loon jib was set again, but in vain. There was no chance to catch the flying finkeel, which in the twelve-knot breeie made the run of nine nautical miles in seventy min utes and crossed the line at the finish in a terrific din of :;team whistles with a lead of 6 minutes and 22 seconds, having gained 1 minute and 55 seconds on the run home under mainsail and balloon Jib.

The sensations of the day began when the trials for records were started. Hen shaw and Hedstrom of Springfield, who established a new track record of 1.20 2-5 In the second heat of the two-mile motor tandem race, decided to go after the world's record, and they succeeded In clip ping 1 4-6 seconds ofT the best former mark, covering the eight laps In 1.18 2-5., the fastest mile ever ridden on a four-lap track.

SPORTSMEI BEADY FOB THESBOOffflB New Law Satisfactory and Every body is Expectant CONDITION OF MARSHES Gunners and gourmands alike are look ing forward with pleasant expectations to the opening: of the reed bird season which September will usher in, and the month to follow will be tilled with satisfaction both for those who kill and those who eat. The time for shooting marsh inhabitants of the feathered variety in this vicinity Is called the reed bird season because of the tremendous migrations of that species that goes north singly or In couples In the spring as bobolinks to return In the autumn in Immense flocks as the brown and yellow feathered reedies. They are nt>t alone in their southward journeying*. however, for with them comes the mysterious ortolan, the yellow-legged plover, Jacksnipe, robin breast snipe and other long bills and duoks Of several varieties. Sportsmen Prefer Ortolans. The ortolan Is most favored by the sports man, as he is not a flock bird. He rises singly and flutters away an easy mark, but his kind Is almost as numerous as the others, which roam in flocks. The favorite abiding places for these birds in the immediate vicinity of Wash art,,the marshes of the Eastern branch, while a little farther off in the Patuxent river they are even more nu merous. The amendment to the District game law, which maSes the shooting of all marsh birds legal after September 1 goes into effect this year. ? 'Sk mea?ure removes many conditions that have been unsatisfactory and vexa tious in the past. The statute governing the past two seasons was particularly so. The framers of it, .in endeavoring to do away with former irregularities, made matters worse. The inequalities in ques *rt?re the provisions formerly in force ki Jl. P,erm,tted the shooting of marsh blackbirds on and after August 20, but prohibited the killing of reed birds, ortolan snipe. Plover ducks and such birds until the first Monday in September. Under that ?W. g5J,nners W'ould go out under pretense of killing the blackbirds and shoot the other varieties, which are not in condition at such an early date. and. what was wo"Le' keeP the migrations going south ward by constant fusillading, instead of allowing them to remain and feed on the marsh oats and increase in both fat and number. Made Matters Worn. To prevent this custom, the law was changed opening the reed bird and ortolan season simultaneously with that for black birds on August 20. A provision was also included prohibiting the killing of any marsh bird except on Tuesdays. Thursday and Saturdays of each week. The idea of this latter clause was to permit migrating birds to rest and feed, the impression being tnat better sport would be afforded on the open days. It proved, however, to be class legislation, because It made Labor day. the holiday of all workingmen in the District, hundreds of whom are ardent sportsmen who cannot afford to lose a day's wages for sport's sake, a closed one, as it falls on the first Monday In each September A realization of this situation led to the change of the law by amendment by the last Congress and hereafter shooting will be legal every day In the week on and after September 1. Prospects for Coming Season: The prospects for the approaching sea son are very good. Marsh blackbirds are already appearing in great numbers on the Patuxent, and many flocks are seen along the Eastern branch. The oats on the marshes In the latter stream are not as thick as they were the past two seasons, and while the thicker the oats the more numerous the birds, it is also true that getting at the latter under such circum stances is more difficult. A gunner, to be successful In killing ortolan or reed birds, must be "pushed" through the oats in a skiff. A good "pusher" is as necessary a requisite as a good gun and the knowledge of using it. The "pusher" is the man who owns a skiff and rents It and his services for a certain sum per "tide" to the gunner. He stands in the stern of the skiff and pushes the craft along by means of a long pole. The Pusher's Important Untie*. He is familiar, if he knows his business, with every square rod of the marsh. He marks birds as they rise, and If necessary calls the attention of the gunner, who stands near the bow of the skiff, to them. He marks where they fall if kiHed or where they alight if missed, and In the latter case "pushes" to that point. Put two men of equal skill as shots in two skiffs and let one have an expert and the other an in expert pusher and the man with the expert will come in at the end of a "tide" with twice as many birds. A "tide" means high tide. It is almost useless to hunt ortolan when the tide is low, because the oats are then standing in mud and pushing is im possible, while the birds are close to the roots. When the water is up the birds cling to the oats above It and are readily flushed. Opening Day Dangers. As Labor day falls on September 2 this year the marshes hereabouts will probably be crowded to a dangerous degree, and old-timers will probably wait until later to get in their work. The opening day of the season is always attended with more or less of the peril of being peppered for those who go out, and as pretty near every man and boy who has a gun and uses acy kind of old shot that comes handy believes it to be his duty to celebrate the season's opening the peppering sometimes Is se rious. The load used by Intelligent ortolan shooters Is not dangerous. It usually con sists of a half or three-quarters of an ounce of No. 10 shot and two drachms of powder. But it Is not unusual to find sea son-opening shooters banging away with an ounce and an eighth of No. 6 shot and three drachms of powder. The pushers who keep their skiffs at the main headquarters of Eastern branch gun ners at the east end of Benning bridge at John Fraas' place are putting their boats in order and expect a good season. There Is a general overhauling down at the Patuxent Rod and Gun Club, the Globe Club and the Jackson Landing Club on the Patuxent with the same intent, and the usual number of parties from New York and Philadelphia are expected in the later vicinity with their steam yachts and slaughtering paraphernalia. Everybody's gun is being cleaned up and made ready for the season, and the shells that will be shot away will number away ud In the thousands. The season on the Patuxent In Prince Geoi^e-s county. Md? opens September 6 and In Calvert county September 1. Two Women Killed by Lightning. A dispatch from Greenville, S.

Washington and Baltimore start their last series today. Lee and Nops will probably be the twirlers. Tomorrow a double-header will be played between the Senators and Orioles. Carrick and Patten will serve them up for the home team, while McGinnity and Foreman will probably be on the rubber for the Birds. Yesterday's downpour of rain prevented the Baltimores and Washingtons coming together and the postponement caused the doubleheader for tomorrow. Left Fielder Foster is at "the bedside of his dying father at Springfield, Mass.. and will be out of the game for some time. If Clarke is able to go behind the bat to d^y Michael Grady will go Into left, as his batting is needed. Captain Clarke's injury resulted "from be ing hit over the heart with the .jail, and for a JLime matters looked serious for the Baltimore boy. He was spitting blood con siderably for a time, but close attention to a prominent physician's directions has brought Clarke around in good shape. The Boston National League club is try ing to capture two American League out fielders? Dowd of Boston and Holmes of Detroit The American Leaguers are all pulling for the Phillies to win the National League pennant. The reason for this Is obvious, since they expect nearly all of Shettsleln's players to wear American League uniforms next year. Surprises have been hinted at as likely to follow the reorganization of the major leagues another year, and there are rea sons to believe that there will be a surprise within a surprise. - National League agents received a chilly reception when they approached Lajoie, Cross, Plank and Powers with flattering offers to Jump the Athletics at the close of the present season. As a whole, the Bostons are not a heavy hitting aggregation?far from It. But they should win a lot of games through tfceir splendid pitching staff and their fielding. The American League seems determined to have all the trtar players in its ranks next year, excepting the few who broke contracts last spring and are, therefore, on Ban Johnson's blacklist. Manager Comiskey is reported to have resigned these players for his Chicago American team next year: Griffith, Calla han. Mertes, Jones and Sullivan. Col. Rogers will just about have to double the salaries of.Townsend, Duggleby, White and Jacklitsch next season to retain them on his team, unless a truce is patc"hed up in the meantime between the two warring major leagues. According to reports from the Inside, the American League has decided to take ten Philadelphia, four New York, four Brook lyn, three Boston, five Cincinnati, five Chicago and four St. Louis players away from the National League. Left Fielder McCarthy of the Cleveland Club was so badly injured by Pitcher Ka toil's Inshoot In last Saturday's game that he will be unable to play again this sea son, and fear Is expressed that his knee cap is permanently injured so badly that be may have to quit the game for all time. ? * * The Raleigh (N. C.) Base Ball Associa tion has sold for *000 to New Orleans two of its star players. Pitcher Stanley and Third Baseman At*. It retains three pitch ers, Persons, Smith and Stocksdale, and can, it Is believed, easily maintain its po sition at the he^d of the league. Stanley and Aia are Washington boys. pan Johnson's next move is said to be to eorraJ the pnUre Pittsburg team, in cluding Colotter DreyfuSs and his partners who own the elub. If the American League gets all the-best players and places clubs In the eight leading base ball cities. Drey fuss Jfc Co. will .hardly care to, retain their National League franchise. Burkett was In his sarcastic mood dur ing the game at Pittsburg last week. He got even with the Pittsburg players, who were joshing him on his weakness against southpaws. "Sell the union out again," he yelled to Zimmer. Go and ask Barney to lay you off two weeks without pay until your heart gets right."?Pittsburg Press. Pink Hawley is doing good work these days. He has all of his old-time speed and excellent control. Manager Duffy shows good judgment in working young Maloney with Hawley. Pink knows all the tricks of the trade and generally pitches his game in his own way. As a natural sequence Maloney i.s not called upon to do any heavy thlnkln? over the strong and weak points of opposing batters. It is evident that Catcher Powers of the Philadelphia American League team is be ing overworked, owing to the illness of Smith, and Manager Mack has no one to take his place in event of an accident with out breaking up his team. Lave Cross is a catcher, and so is Barry Davis, but they can do better In the positions they at pres ent occupy. In speaking of the affair Man ager Mack said: "If anyone goes behind the bat it will be yours truly." Connie could do all right at that, and many of his old friends would like to see him in har ness again.?Philadelphia Bulletin. The American League magnates are dis pleased because their planned raid upon the National League's players leaked out before they had all the men selected by them signed to contracts They fear now that the National League magnates will raise the ante In their efforts to hold on to their stars, and :hus force the Americans to raise their original offer. This will not, however, deter the Johnsonites from car rying out their plans, as they are deter mined to have all the best players in the country and reduce the National from a major to a minor It-ague. Evidences of the efforts being made to locate an American League team In Pitts burg next year wore stronger last week than ever before. Representatives of Ban Johnson's organization were hobnobbing with people who had tracts of land that could be used for t>ase ball purposes, but it is not known that any deal has yet been accomplished. One report had It that negotiations went so far as to in clude the payment of money for an option. ?Pittsburg Press. It is quite plain to see that Brooklyn has not been taken Into the confidence of the men who map out the plans of the Nation al League. It is also quite noticeable that Mr. Abell and President Soden of the Bos tons come to town. The result is thnt Abell Is not a favorite with the Boston president on account of his free use of language when he goes after his fellow magnates, and Soden never thaws out when the Brooklyn man comes to town. The result is that Abell has to do a lot of tall scratching to find out what is going on. and then usually fails to get the tip. Ebbitts and Hanlon are In the same fix, and as a whole I think th4 Brooklyn club is further in the dark than any club in the league. Charley Ebbitts is continually telling how superior everything in his league is to the American Iague, and Ed Hanlon is ready to show by figures where the new organisation must lose a pot of money every season it attempts to play ball. The American League has yet to send up any signals of distress, and th? public naturally takes Hanlon's logic as worked out through selfish reasoning and a bit one-sided.?Boston Globe. New Mayor for Clofaegoi. A dispatch from Havana says: The ayuntamiento of Clenfuegos, in the pres ence of the civil governor of Santa Clara, has elected a new mayor. 8enor Esquerra, to succeed Senor Vieta, who ceased to be mayor owing to his refusal to obey order 156, which places the police in the regular civil service.
