The Washington club made an excellent
start at Cleveland yesterday, not only by
defeating the Spiders by the score of 5 to o,
but in an exhibition of general good playing,
both at "the bat and In the field. Three er
rors are charged against the Senators, Wol
verton, Delehanty and Coughlin being the
transgressors, but every one of this trio
was an important factor in the victory.
Centerflelder Jimmy Ryan was th-? hero
of the game, his sensational work over
shadowing the splendid pitching perform
ance of Al. Orth. On ^ree different oeca
James E. Ryan.
?lons long flies were sent out into Ryan's
territory, every one of which had a safe
look to It, but by almost superhuman ef
forts the veteran gathered in the ball and
prevented runs galore. The first of his
three great catches bobbed up in the sev
enth inning. Gochnauer had reached first
on a hit and then Bemls stepped to the
plate and drove out a long fly that looked
so safe that the first named was on the
far side of second base when It was caught.
Gochnauer stopped In his tracks and made
a bee line back to first, beating Ryan's
throw by a foot, the latter being handicap
ped in stopping, turning around and taking
In the play.
Ryan's Great Catching.
In the eighth, Ryan pulled off his greatest
catch with two on bases and all on the
grounds arose and cheered the Senator for
several minutes. Hickman was the batter
and he drove the ball into the far corner of
center field. When the ball was hit, Ryan
turned his back to it and sprinted to where
he thought it would come down. He tlm- d
the spot to a fraction of a second and g>t
the bail over his shoulder on the dead run.
Once more the runners on the bases had to
almost break their backs getting oack to
the bases.
In the ninth inning. Ryan topped off his
day's performance with another splendkl
catch and through it saved the game for
the Senators. With two out, Bernliard,
Pickering and Hay hit safely filling the
bases with the mighty Flick at the bat. Kl
mer is only about 5 per cent removed f;om
Delehanty when it comes to hitting the
ball, and after fouling ofT a couple of
Orth's twisters, he met one fair and square
pulling it toward right center. Ryan and
Lee set sail after the sphere, but the for
mer got up to the ball first, and with aims
outstretched on a dead run the veteran
grasped the ball -with a grip of Iron. Not
withstanding the fact that Ryan's last
cateh robbed Cleveland of a victory, the
spectators were sporty enough to get on
their feet and shout approval.
Al. Orth pitched a splendid game for the
Senators, but four hits being secured off his
delivery up till the eighth inning. Al. was
looking for his bad inning and it .came in
the ninth, but Ryan managed to break up
the hoodoo.
Bernhard was hit hard by the Washing
tons and it was only the great fielding of |
Bay. I>aJo!e. Gochnauer and Pickering that
saved him from a Waterloo. Bay's fielding
was almost equal to that of Ryan's and the i
youngster's example must have stirred up
the blood of the veteran to the deeds of
valor that followed.
In the first inning. Washington got two
runs as a result of Ryan's pass to first,
Wolverton's out. a single by Delehanty. an
error by Hickman and a triple by Cough
lin. In the third, Delehanty tripled Into
center and scored on Kelster's double. In
the fourth. Lee hammered one to right good
for three bases and scortd while Clarke was.
being put out at first.
Cleveland made Its first run In this Inning,
Lajole making a double and scoring on
Wolverton's bad throw to first. Another
tally went up for Cleveland in the fifth,
Gochnauer hitting for a double and scoring
on another hit of the same sort by Bemls.
In the sixth. Washington hung up Its
fifth and last run. Orth. Ryan and Wol
verton hitting safe with two out. the for
mer getting the run. In the ninth, after
two were out. Cleveland scored Its third
and last run as a result of oonseeutive bat
ting. the great catch of Ryan finally shut
ting off the bombardment.

RACES AT SHEEPSHEAD.
Four Favorites in the Program of
Seven Events.
For the first time since the center of rac
ing was moved to the Long Island tracks,
the races were run over a really muddy
track at Sheepshead Bay yesterday, but In
spite of the going, which was thin slush
over a hard bottom, public form triumphed
and four favorites were returned winners
in the program of seven races.
The only stake fixture of the day was the
Swift at seven furlongs for three-year
olds, a race that In the seventeen earlier
years of its history has produced many
brilliant contests, though yesterday's race
dwindled into a three-horse affair, with the
result a foregone conclusion. The fast filly
Hatasoo. from the Featherstone stable,
started favorite at the prohibitive price of
8 to 1 on, against the two others that op
posed her, the field Including one added
starter in W. C. Daly's Trump, who was
put in to run for third money after Yan
kee, Old England and Leonid had been
withdrawn. Hatasoo amply Justified the
betting, for after the barrier lifted she was
always In front, and won about as *he
pleased, pulling back to Bon Mot, who was
second all the way; Trump, who was well
backed to finish second, being beaten away
off.
The second race produced a smart strug
gle between the Keene entry. Birch Hroom,
and the favorite, Gold Money, Birch Broom
leading Into the last half furlong, where
Gold Money, hard ridden, got up, and In a
drive beat her out by a neck. In the open
ing race Femesole, from the stable of J. J.
McCafferty, was made an odds-on favorite,
but Graden won by three lengths. In the
mile and a furlong handicap, Herbert won,
Monarka finishing second a half length be
fore Sadie S.. who was backed to win, but
who ran a bad race.
For the fifth race Roue and Maiden were
the first two from end to end. Maiden win
ning with ease by a half length from Roue,
who stopped badly at the finish. TosCan
led most of the distance, and cantarcd In
first In the sixth race, with the favorite
Alsono and Athelroy third. The betting
was almost even between The Rival and
Carbuncle In the last race, a mile and a
sixteenth on the turf course, but until the
horses turned Into the stretch Emshee.
from the Featherstone stable, threatened
to make a runaway race of it. The Rival,
hard ridden through the last half mile, then
getting up close on the po3t, after lcoking
beaten, and winning, all out, by a half
length from Carbuncle, who beat Emshee
for the place.
AMERICAN DERBY.
Appears to Be a Struggle Between the
East and West.
The fifteenth American Derby, which will
be run at the Washington Park Club track,
Chicago, tomorrow afternoon, Is regarded
as the most uncertain since the world's
fair derby of 1803.
The race appears to be the east against
the west. The east furnishes the three bet
ting choices In Heno, Pentecost and Ar
senal. and It is only on the theory that
western colts may be In better condition as
a result of avoiding Lhe trip across the
country that the westerners figure a
good chance for a colt from the west to win.
Railroads are announcing lower rates to
see the Derby than ever before, and the
chances are there will be an enormous
crowd?probably 00,000 people, and quite
likely even larger than that.
The horses likely to start, with their
odds, jockeys and weights, are as follows:
4 to 1. Arsenal, O'Connor, 122; 8 to 1, Belles
Commoner, Knight, 122; 2 to 1, Heno, Bull
man, 122; lO to 1, Hermlss, McCue, 122;
20 to 1. Lord Ques, J. Woods, 125; 15 to 1,
Luclen Appleby, Blrkenruth, 122; 12 to 1,
Otis, Singleton. 127; 4 to 1, Pentecost, Red

To Revive Century Cycle Club.
A number of former members of the Cen
tury Cycle Club met Wednesday evening at
the home of Mr. Ed. S. Byrnes, ?18 Mary
land avenue southwest, for a reorganiza
tion of the club. A committee was appoint
ed to procure suitable quarters and It Is
expected the old home of the club will be'
obtained. All those present were Jubilant
over the prospects of a flourishing club.
The election of officers will take place next
Monday evening.
The Century Cycle Club was organised
August 12, 1896, with ten charter members
and soon thereafter made such rapid strides
that a membership of seventy-five was
reached by the following year. For several
years some of the best known road and
track racing men were among Its members.
Many handsome prizes are in the possession
of the members, trophies of century runs
and races. The club In Its second start will
drop century riding to some extent and
more attention will be given athletic sports.
Social features will also be developed. A
number not at the meeting have signified
their Intention of becoming members.
An executive committee composed of the
following was appointed: Ed. S. Byrnes.
Jno. Sheehy, Joseph N. Benner, W. A. Has

and Dr. L. L. Harban, a consistent golfer,
hailing- from the Columbia Golf Club of this
city, succeeded in leading hts field for the
gold medal offered for the maker of the best
score. This was an 87?none too fast, con
sidering the quality of the field of contest

more than one of the contestants, but for
that matter the whole course played with a

Wolverton led the Senators with three
singles and accepted eight out of nine
chances. Harry must be coming around
Into his stride.
Manager Loftus completed his deal for
McFarland yesterday, and he Joins the Sen
ators ln Cleveland. The outfield now looks
very strong, and McFarland will be a good
man to follow Ryan at the bat, being very
fast on the base3.

The Senators must win three games from
the Spiders to split even on -the trip

New York has about^ the weakest aarfirre
gatlon of ball players in tts country, yet
Jack Doyle is let out on account of being
a dlsorganizer, which prevents the club

Manager Loftus might take a chance at
Delehanty s suggestion- of working his

came not, but kept the coin and ticket.
Carl L. Lumlgren, former star pitcher for
the University of Illinois ball club, signed
with the Chicago National League club yes
terday, and joined the club at Cincinnati.
By Sam Crane: "There may be pluckier
men playing ball than Lije Washburn, but
they haven't made themselves apparent.
With an eye as big as a base ball, a nose
scattered all over his face and badly dented
'slats,' the game ex-Brown man shows his
college bringing up. Tonight he said: 'Oh.
it's nothing; I had my nose broken and my
eyes blackened many times. I've played
foot ball, and this don't amount to much.
I wish I could see out of this eye of mine,
and I think I could play tomorrow.' Il Is
doubtful if he can play In two weeks."
In the Dayton street police court, St.
Louis, Wednesday, Charles Life, a bleacher
ite, was fined JT> and costs for expressing
his opinion of Jesse Burkett as a ball
player. According to the evidence, during
Tuesday's game between the Browns and
Orioles, Life called Burkett names. Jesse
pointed the offender out to a couple of po
licemen .and the man was taken into cus
tody. The management Is determined upon
putting a stop to this sort of thing.
Winnie Mercer, pitcher of the Detroit
club, may be the next coach of the Univer
sity of Michigan base ball club. The ath
letic board of the university has been after
Mercer for some time to name a figure for
his services. The negotiations have been
conducted through Attorney James O. Mur
fiii. and all that remains to clinch the mat
ter is the acceptance of Mercer's terms by
the athletic board.?Detroit News.
With the Browns losing the anvil chorus
is again making Itself heard at St. Louis.
Fandom was rapidly becoming loyal to the
new band, but with the losing of the last
Boston game, followed by those miserable
performances against Washington, the
bunch, though not much in numbers, made
themselves heard by singing a solo that
makes the famous anvil chorus In "II Tro
vatore" as placid as the dream song in
"Erminle," which the voluptuous Pauline
Hall sung so often.?St. Louis Republic.
Six thousand people witnessed the game
of base ball at Athletic Park yesterday
afternoon, and saw the visiting Georgia
Crackers go down in ignominious defeat
before the conquering Pelicans. Stanley,
the doughty right fielder of the New Or
leans club, was In charge of the victors,
and the way he slaughtered the visiting
batsmen was a sight to behold. The strong
est hitters were the easiest to strike out,
and time after time when there were men
on the bases and only one out Stanley
turned the clever trick of retiring the side
on strikes.?New Orleans Picayune. Stan
ley Is a Washington boy.
Again has the ax been swung, and this
time It Is Jack Doyle's head that falls Into
the basket. The ax followed the "ham
mer." Such persistent hammering a^, Doyle
has been subjected to since the season
opened resulted In a smashing of things at
last, and Doyle has been crushed. Another
turn of the wheel, that's all. Doyle was
handed a telegram in Boston after Wednes
day's game that read as follows: "New York,
June 18, to Manager George Snrith: Have
accepted O'Hagan's terms. Put him to
work at once and notify Doyle that he is
released. F. M. Knowles, Secretary."
EXCITEMENT AT OYSTER BAT.
Crazy Negro Tries to Take Archie
Roesevelt's Pony.
A dispatch from Oyster Bay. L. I., yester
day says: Archie Roosevelt, the eight-year
old son of the President, sturdily resisted
the effort of an Insane negro to take his
Shetland pony, Algonquin, from him near the
post office today. The negro, Ben Levi,
who was taken to Kings Park Asylum to
night by the village constable, had been
causing disturbances here all day.
Archie rode up to the post office in the
afternoon. He was met outside the door
by Levi, who had obtained from some one
an old policeman's uniform and was strut
ting up and down the street in all the glory
of the faded blue coat and tarnished brass
buttons. When the negro saw the little
fellow he went up" to him and demanded the
pony. Archie told him to go away, the
man caught Algonquin by the bridle. The
negro hesitated and then turned and
marched up the street. Archie went Into
the post office and mailed a letter.
While the President's son was chatting
with the postmaster the negro returned and
caught the pony by the bridle. Then he
started to lead him up the street. He was
seen by some men. who gave chase, and af
ter a short pursuit he was overtaken and
the pony taken from him.
Levi had caused a sensation just before
that by walking into the Oyster Bay Bank
and announcing that he had a set of new
rules that he wanted to enforce Imme
diately. A depositor had just laid $100 on
the desk and Levi made a sudden grab for
it. He got the money and held it hJgh up
In the air. Charles Weeks, the paying
teller, ran around the desk, took the money
from the negro and then put him out of the
bank.
After walking away with Archie Roose
velt's pony Levi caught a dog and began
to choke it. By this time some of the vil
lagers had hunted up the constable, who
placed the negro under arrest.

Washington county is no longer a stock
holder in the Western Maryland railroad.
The county's holdings were transferred to
the Fuller syndicate in exchange for a draft
for on the Western National Bank
of New York. The immediate result of tho
transaction was a reduction in the tax rate
for 1!H>2 of lo per cent, which leaves tha
county rate ?>7S cents on $1<to. This will lie
followed shortly by a liquidation of the en
tire bonded indebtedness of the county,
which will mean a lasting reduction of the
tax rate.
A banquet will be given at the Blue Moun

I plenty of them around Kdg.-mont. The
peach trees in that neighborhood have suf
fered considerably from locust slings and
likewise the Japanese chestnut trees on the
Mitchell Stover farm: but the vineyards in
that section have not bee^i i ff-cted. nor th?
apple trees to any extent. The locusts this
year seem to prefer the mountains, ami
visitors to Hen-Mar have been more or less
annoyed by their Incessant din.
Wheat fields are beginning to take on the
yellow tinge, and by June *Jo or 22 the click
of the binder will lie heard about us. In
many fields the wheat stands thin on the
ground, but It is well headed and well tilled,
and may average between twelve and fif
teen bushels per acre, which is considered
a good half crop.
Farmers are busy making hay. The crop
is not much abo\;e one-fourth of what was
expected two months ago The clover
stands thick on the ground, but is so short
in some plan: that it can hardly be gath

needed here.
