WM PLAY LIKE MEN ©ALL PAHK JHAMOXD CHORTLED WITH FEMININE CURVES. SOT BROWNIES ON THE, RUN tmrocni»c Crovrd Chccrert Clilenjro CIrlJ«(« nrlnjrlnjr JJlunhew to Their Check"— Thcr Sl»n Hooker, the JHaneliei.<«T Pitcher: Throe thousand five hundred spectators caw the Brownies, the leaders of the Tri- City League, defeat tha Chicago Stars nt •the Broad-Street Park yesterday ' after noon by the score of 3 to 0. It was a tie pmc up to the last half of the ninth inninp." neither side having scored, when Darby hit a corking two bagger to the /eft-field fence, was sent to third on Eacho's sacrifice, and scored on Jim McEvoy"s grounder to Gage, which the latter could not gather up in- time to HUt Darby off at home. It was an old-time crowd that turned out yesterday, reminding one of the palmiest *all days in Richmond. The grand stand yras completely filled, a large number of ladies being in . evidence. The sheltered bleachers were packod. and a big overflow filled the spare space along the fence in left field. President Donati wore a smile as big as his Falstnflian anatomy when he counted the box receipts for not in years have so many paid admissions been regis tered at a ball game in this city. WILL JOIN THE GILS. Immediately after the game. Hooker, Tvho pitched part of the game for the Visitors, signed a contract with Manager I. B. Olson to play with the female [ossere for the remainder of the season. Hooker has been doing some good work ■with the Mp.nchestcrs, but he was so charmed with the good company he will have until the season closes that he has shaken the local team and will accompany the Chicago ladies on their southern tour ob far as Cuba. As 10 the game. It was not the best specimen of ball that one would care to boe. for there was a suspicion of lameness and "playing off" during the earlier part sf the game that took away much of the lnterost. But as a spectacular amuse ment, pure and simple, it pleased the big crowd, and that was about all that it wanted. GRACEFUL AND DEBONNAIRE. Miss Maud Nelson, who did the twirling Tor the ladies in the first six innings. was easily the piece de resistance of the game. She was graceful, . debonnaire, and handled the ball with an easy in difference and accuracy that won her a bunch of friends from the start. Miss JWaggle Burke, who looks the name, re ceived an ovation after her splendid run ning catch of Ha'gan'o long fly to left in the fifth inning. Miss Burkes face is as full and bright as a rising full moon, and when she smiled in recognition of the storm of applause that greeted her the clouds that hung over the diamond in lowering ugliness were pushed away, and an effulgent radiance spread over the field. Mary McLane's description of herself was cheered to the echo when she pulled down Morgan's long fly to right in the eighth inning. On approaching the play ers' bench in front of the grand stan<l, t>he was applauded again, and blushed a scarlet hue as deep as the color of her BUft." THE GANG WENT WILD. All the crowd wanted, as an excuse to cheer was for any. of the girls to catch the ball, and anything thai looked like fapt ball playing on their part was enough 1o set the fane wild:. Special mention can he made of Yeula Robertson's work at first base. She is as fair arid as sunny and as cute as her name would imply, if read in a yellow-back novel by Laura Jean Lib bey. Miss Robertson covered the position in capital, style, and picked up the half bounces, traps, and straight ones right along. The ladies were greatly strength ened by the presence of Gage at short,' and Russell behind the bat. They are both fast players, and covered a lot of ground, but they are males, and cannot ' come In for a share of the general praise- due the team, which is known as tho "Young Ladies' Champion Base-Ball Club of the World, Travelling in Their Own Special $10,000 Pullman." THEY COULD REALLY THROW. The girls played well all round. When they threw the ball it went in the direc tion aimed— something- so unusual, that it pleased the spectators to death. There was some neat exhibitions of team work, and the principal point of weakness shown by the team was its base running. Miss Maggie Burke hit a hot one to Eacho in the second inning, which he* slightly fum bled, and Maggie should have reached first, but she seemed to be carrying •weight, or age. or dressed in a divers' cult with lead in her shoes, and could not. make the journey to first in time to beat out the ball. Hooker did excellent pitch- Ing for the girls when he was put in the box, and made such a good impression that he was forthwith signed for the rest of the season. The girls should have Beared in the ninth inning— or rather the male portion of the girls' team should have done so— for with Gage on third and Russell on second, and the crowd rooting to beat the band. Hooker ingloriously struck out, and Miss Maud Nelson, the next hitter up, dribbled a slow one to Gathright. 1 SCORE BY INNINGS." •1234 5 6 7 S 9 Brownies 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 I—l Bloomer Girls -....000000000—0 Batteries— Brownies, McEvoy and El njorc Chicago Bloomer Girls, Maud Nel eon, Hooker, and Russell.

Th 6 woman had in her arms a package wrapped in newspapers that corresponds .exactly to the way the baby was wrapped. Her actions attract ed the. attention of the man, and he watched her dodg-e from the view of seve ral passers. The woman is described as of medium build, with an elastic step, and apparently about 20 years of age. When she was seen withthe bundle in her arms she was dressed in a black skirt with a white shirt-waist, and wore a hat trimmed with black crepe. •Squire Thomas is using every effort to locate the suspected woman, and hopea that the mystery will be unravelled in a few days.

ARMY MANOEUVRES. Regulars and Militia Both to Parti cipate — Fort Riley the Scene. {WASHINGTON, August 20.— An order was issued at the. War Department to day, directing the mobilization of a mixed divisjon of regulars and militia on the large reservation at Fort Riley, Kan. The Governors of all the States were invited to send a , contingent of the va rious State forces to participate in these manoeuvres, but very few of the States found themselves able to participate. Ar kansas will send one battalion of Infan try, Kansas two regiments of infantry and two batteries of field artillery, and Nebraska two regiments of infantry. A number of Governors of States have'sig nified their intention to send officers to witness the manoeuvres. It is said that President Roosevelt will review the troops participating in the manoeuvres, but the date of the review has not been determined definitely. The regular contingent of the division will go into camp at Fort Riley Septem ber 20th, and will be followed by the State organizations September 29th. It is Intended to continue joint manoeuvres for a period of ten days after the division is organized. The benefits to be derived from bringing together regiments, bri gades . and divisions is so apparent that the War Department has fully determined upon this policy for the future. There will be no effort to iirlitate the great manoeuvres .which take place an nually in Europe. The government in tends to utilize its own -reservations for this work, whereas in Europe the manoeu vres practically cover a space as great as the whole of New England. With their long experience, in these matters,; they have become able to manoeuvre over this great property under some just and equi table arrangement for compensation, but In America any attempt.to,do r this would be followed by a flood of claims for.dam ages, and no such scheme ever could be carried out. . .

REPUBLICAN" :HOPES IN VAIN: Absolutely ~So Chance for Antl \ Democratic Snccess, Says Mr. s - Tlioni— XcwliightHoTise Tender for .Virginia— Are Roosevelt and Little ficld Out? ' WASHINGTON, D. C, August 20.—(Sep cial.)—Among Virginians in Washington the opinion- prevails generally that no se rious /bitterness or soreness will, be left among the Democrats of the Second Dis trict' as .a result of the recent campaign and renomination of Congressman May nard, Republican .politicians of Norfolk and' other places in the district have been hopeful: that; considerable bitter feeling would be left, and that they would pro fit by it. They intend to nominate a can didate for "Congress against Mr. Maynard and pretend to have some hope of success. One of the factors counted on in the as pirations for a Republican • triumph is the supposed feeling that would be en gendered by the race that has just been concluded. . Among the Norfolk people in the- city to-day were Alfred T. Thorn, division counsel 'of the Southern railway, and William H. White, former United States Attorney for the Eastern District. The latter joined his Wife' here for a trip North. Mr. Thorn; said to the Dispatch correspondent: ' xhe Democrats all over the district will acquiesce in the result, and will' do so most cheerfully. There is absolutely no chance for Republican suc cess." - . The !managers of the Democratic con gressionalcompangn here say that not a dozen votes will, be lost by the feeling growing out of the primary, and that the number will probably not be that large. There is 'not the slightest fear of losing the district. ■Friends of - Congressman - Maynard in this city ' have deluged him with tele grams of congratulation to-day, >and his mail for the next. few days, from his host of friends everywhere, .will be extremely large. - NEW LIGHTHOUSE TENDER. At the Lighthouse Board it is stated that the contract tor the building of the new tender for the Fifth Lighthouse Dis rrict> to replace- the twin-screw launch Bramble, has not yet been approved by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Fifth Lighthouse District includes Virginia and the Carolinas,- and a new boat to go by, the name of Juniper is to b,e built to take the place of the Bramble for service in this important district. . The Bramble was built in 1579, and is. a twin-screw launch of about thirty-two gross h.urden. During me fiscal year end ing in June, 1900, she attended to the gas beacons in the sounds of North Carolina. During this period she was under steam 620 hours and ran about 1.503 miles. By act'of June 6, 1900, Congress appropriated 520,000 with whicn to build a vessel to re place her. Bids were offered for tne con struction of the new vessel and were opened-on July 3, 1901, but all were re jected for the reason' that the lowest call ed for a contract price greater than the amount appropriated. The needs of the service, however, and the higher price of material caused .-±e board to recommend that a tender such as would suit all needs of the service should be built for $32,000. Congress, therefore, appropriated an ad ditional 512.000 for the construction of the new lighthouse tender. The' name of the ship is to.be the Juni per. She is to 'be ninety-five feet long, of eighteen feet beam, and eight feet depth of hold, and to draw tour feet of water. She ' will have two cylinder en gines, 12-inch cylinders, 12-inch stroke, and driving two propellers. She will be equipped with a surface condenser. Steam is to be furnished by a water-tube boiler. Gas will be supplied by a number of gas tanks situated in the hold. Dis placement, 108 tons, and the boat will, have about 200 indicated horse-power. The Sperdden Ship Company, of Balti more, has the contract, which calls for a contract price of $27,000. The Juniper Is to be completed within seven months after the approval of the contract by the Secre tary "of the Treasury. Secretary Shaw will approve the contract in a short while. When the Juniper is completed, Virginia and the Carolinas wnl have one of the finest lighthouse tenders in the service. ROOSEVELT AND LITTLEFIELD. The itinerary of President Roosevelt's New England trip, . made public to-day, fails to provide for a visit by the Presi dent to Rockland, Me., the home of Repre sentative Littlefield. It is recalled here that the President's trip to Maine was originated by an invitation extended him by Representative Littlefield to visit the latter at his home. The invitation was accepted. It was the first extended the President for a New England trip and was. the ' first accepted by him. All the other plans have been made since. It is now regarded as peculiar that Mr. Little field's, name is not inemded among those of gentlemen to be visited by the Presi dent. It: is believed that the President and Mr. Littlefield had an understanding to call off the visit,, or, probably, to have no "announcement of it made in advance, if ! the President is really going there. Possibly, the President did riot care for a revival of the trust discussion of some time back,' when r the announcement was. made that Mr. Littlefield is at work on a trust 1 bill to be submitted to Congress that will have the backing oi the Presi dent. There has been no disturbance of the relations between the two men, and there is nothing in this direction to. cause a change in the programme of a visit to Rockland,' but- the matter is exciting interest; at any rate.

With all your guesses yOu did not locate us two seekers of informa tion. We were in Holland frivolling with those Dutch damsels as they made their Edam cheese, and admiring their klne faced cows, or perhaps trying our luck with the flounders in the Zuyder-Zee. * " "Charlie didn't tell you. the exact truth about the downfall of the Campanile, but only prepared you for the truth, which he wants me to tell you. Well. Doc, you know we did it, and we were ringing the bell.whenvshe fell. Of course this is not generally. 1 known among the Venetians, and I know you won't expose us, for we had to do something to commemorate our visit to this distant clime, and we tfaought this small enough. "The next worse thing we did was to come vto Italy. Of course, tve enjoyed Rome . through and through, meandered through the catacombs, admired St. Pe ter's and all the other fine churches, buildngs, museums, etc., climbed to the balcony of the Coliseum, and last and least, , paid the Pope a short visit. He seemed to be very glad to see us, and .was especially taken with Charlie. "Went to the Blue. Grotto "yesterday, and it is fine. Have just. gotten back to day from Vesuvius. • *.-•• Of course, our bad luck followed us, so, It suffered from indigestion while we were there and disfigured us slightly; but, despite that, and the fall of the Campanile, we are still game to try Paris, although my grip of experience is about full. -Naples-must be the dirtiest place in: the world, for never have I seen such poor, pitiful, flea bitten, mosquito-eaten people. We had to go' through the toughest part to get to Vesuvius, and it beat any thins I have ever seen. * * "■;,,* -*_.!
