THE W-ASHX&TGTOST TIMES,. SUN" DAT, FOTEMBER 4, 1894. flTjT 5gFP "RT.T, 11 i H i i sawswssafr the country for goodness, stylishness, and reasonableness. Take those elegant Navy Blue Long Overcoats the "Paddock," the "Hopkins," the "University," the "Poole," and others unnamed, but hardly less distinguished, at $15, $20, and $25 for instance. Why it is just like sticking a $5 bill in the pocket of each one. Parker, Bridgetl Co., ' Washington's Largest "Exclusive" Clothiers, 315 Seuenth Street. TAR HEELS EASY WINNERS Georgetown College Eleven Given an Idea How to Flay Football. SCORE WAS VERY ONE-SIDED ft Was Not Until the Second Half That the Local Celloeians Managed, to Break the Ice in Their Game with the University of North Carolina's Strong Team. There was never any doubt m to what the 'esult would be in the game of football played on Georgetown field yesterday afternoon be tween the teams of the Universities of George ' own and North Carolina. The latter team icyed with a vim and a snap and a rush that wan exhilaratinc and Rave plain evidence of -00 J, hard training on the part of every laj-er, in addition to a fine knowledge of the omts of the game, thus surpassing George town, not only from a physical, but from a v ntiflc point of view. Neither side had any 1 vantage in point of weight. "What Georgetown mostly needs is a good -oa-b, and the sooner he is secured the sooner the good points in the material at hnl will be brought oat Now it is so much strength wasted. The team is too slow in in terference, and lacks snap in its general work. It is doe the team that played yester day to add that four substitutes played. There were about 800 admirers of the teams present, and a large majority hoped the 1 orals would win from the team which ,ast week scored against Lehigh, but they Wttre doomed to be bitterly disappointed, for ifcs s -ore at th call of game was 20 to 4 In favor or tne Tar Heels. The field waa deep in mud from last night's run, consequently slippery and heavy, and .jug runs nearly impospible. The playing of C-i .n. left guard of North Carolinas, was c! the ''btar'' order, ana of the same team t pr, Merritt. Stephens, and Moore dis t rgu'ued themselves, the latter two oe--'ia ly doing splendid work, and, with tlTe La 1 in their hands.their team was always sre j? gains. I On the part of Georgetown the mighty Miko JIatourv was the great mainstay and decid ed y the'star of the team. Little Boyle, spry rifcht -eJ, nobly did his work, and even after ho Lr. 1 lis nose broken in a rush ho played the i -'iuoa with snao and energy. Harley and Lahfn did excellent service. Carmody mad his llrst appearance this season and took Truth s place at quarter baek in the sec en llaif and helped materially by his lively j.aj to infuse new life into the team. GEORGETOWN MIS POOnLT. The full two thirty-minute halves were not plaved, darkness cutting short the second taJ I y illteen minutes. Georgetown won the toss, and on the kick-off Mahoney caught the tall and advanoed fifteenyards. Afterbrcak lr.g the center twice lost the ball on downs. (;n te line-up Guion made a splendid run around the end, and with the aid of splendid interference and successive gains by Stephens, Cower, Moore, and Pugh. Collier made a tcu'L lown in toven minutes for North Caro ls, and Baskerville kicked goal. Score, 6-0. Lnng the remainder of the half theTar hcr s gained almost as they pleased. In '..e second kick off, Baird gained the ba.l r.nd advance twenty yards and Stephens i k it for six more, and then the mighty CJ a noshed it for Jive more. In the rush L-jsk"n'nJe was injured, but he pluckily con tnii ,1 in the game. On four downs and no gii, (j'-onretown secured the ball and Ha- nry n ade an end play for five yards and was Lvkled foul by Gregory, who got hurt for i. s tro a le. Mahoney made further gams of e.gtt .nl ihree yards and thon Georgetown Itst U 1 ail, Stephens carrying It toward North Carolina's rohI for thirreen yards and Guijn f-r a brilliant run around left for twenty 3 ards. aud after repeated gains it was pshed ovfr by Stephens for a touchdown. asKerviiie missed goal and the score stood 1J 0. To the end of the half this character of r.!ay was repeated, and the ball was nearly a way in North Carolina's hands, and when tjxo was called the score stood 1G to 0 in favor of the gallant Southern visitors. C AEMODV'S rEE6EKCE ISSPIHITECa. The secona half was begun with more of rush on the part of Georgetown, mainly duo to thn presence of Carmody, who played quar ter j place of Smith. Then Georgetown charge! her tactics and from a defensive adrj'ed the offensive. After repeated gains by Bahen, Murphy, and Mahoney, the ball VT&b within three yards of goal when George town lost the ball, and the visitors worked it down field ten yards, and after gains by fifcer'Vn'?, Collier ,and Mooro.it was at last lost to tin s uthern boys, and again on good work Oftd a free Lick by Murphy and gains by Ma Ifeo&ey, Murphy made a touchdown, but failed fi9 fclct an easy goal. Score 16 to 4. Csthe kickoff byBaskervillo, Mahoney ad TO90Q& twenty yards with the pigskin, Bahen feSS gained three yards and passed to Maho- E'fcr two yards more, and was tackled in did manner by Baird. Failing to make sr gains the ball went to North Carolina aid by repeated gains by Moore, Stephens. Mid one of seventeen yards around the end by Guion, Stephens made a touchdown, and Baakerville failed to kick goal. Score when the agony waa over, and with fifteen min utes more play, stood 20 to i, in favor of the von what it is. we H are just getting famous for If our Clothing. Ask your friends who sells the best and most st3'lish Clothing? Ours is vastly different from the ordinary kind the cloths are different the cut and finish is different.

Jimmie James lost quito heavily on imp. Bones. Lyceum so far outclassed his field that he had only to romp home. Bums, considered by some the Archer of America, lost the placo on Markstone by his attempt at a grand-stand finish. As good as 20 to 1 laid against The Clown, a very big price considering tho company. Judge Oyster was not satisfied with Corb Iey's ride on Mamie Stark and informed him that he would have to do better. Tidings was a sad disappointment to Billy Beoket's friends, as his defeat broke them to a man. Pickaway was presented the last race at the weights, as good as 8 to 1 being obtainable against him. Jim McLaughlin ran a very creditable race, and will do to bet on in moderate company. Johnny Hard-luck Connelly finally got the rear end of a purse with Karamas. He says the $15 is about as much as he can ubo at present. The heavy going was not to Grand Prix's liking, and the Clover Stable's crack finished in the rack. o EXCnjfMBNT IN THB MHO.

BASKET-BALL GROWS POPULAR Meeting to Organize a league Will Be Hold During the Coming "Week Football Play ers and Bowlers Are Working Hard to Gei in Condition Ladies' Gymnasium Classes. Sufficient ' interest is being tnkon In the game of basket-ball to make tho promoters of tho game feel encouraged In their effort?. A league is now among the early possibilities, and to that end a mooting has been called for next Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock at Carroll Institute. At this meeting tho matter will be discussed informally and the feasibil ity of forming a league will be looked into. The C. A. C, Y. M. O. A., W. A. C, Y. M.C. C. and W. L. L and other organizations have been invited to send one or moro members as committee or delegates, and it is hoped that every organization named will be represented. There are In this city quite a number 0! good pool and billiard players, and each organization can with llttlo difficulty get up a strong team for either or both games. So that tho interest may grow tho first thing in order is to organize an inter club league. It would certainly increase the interest in the game as well as in the organi zations forming it. A call for a joint meeting will shortly be issued. The amusement committee of the C. A. C. is ever on the alert for something: new which will add to tho comfort and pleasure of tho club members. Among other things for tho coming week arrangements have been made with the Western Union to furnish election returns on Tuesday evening, Cth instant. A speciul wire will be run into the gymna sium nnd full and accurate returns received. Ample provision will be made for the comfort or the members and their friends. Of course there will bo a big attendance. A FOOTBALL SCHEDULE. Capts. Wells and Tom Burns aro working day and night to get the football team in Kood working order nnd daily improvement is seen in the team.

Other games scheduled at present aro with Lafayette College on the ICth instant, with Carlisle Indian School on 24th instant, and of course, the annual fixture with Georgetown College on Thanksgiving Day. All of above games will ba played at National Park. There should bo a large turn-out of members to give the team a good send-off and encourage it in Its work. "A smoking concert" has been fixed for the 24th instant, and an attractive card is be ing arranged. The howling team which will represent the club in the league games was an nounced on the 1st instant In a circular letter to the members. It is a strong team, nnd on which will in every wav do itself justice and reflect credit upon the club. It consists of J. S. Jones, captain; Will Dove, John Walker, Frank W. Stono, nnd G. E. Bicker. The substitutes aro: JL. B. Mason, Turley Coburn,NormunBestor, Claas Denekos, and Iloward Perry. The team will play its first game of the series with the Y. M. 0.

Maury Dove, the coal merchant, an en thusiastic member of the club, has announced his intention of giving n haudsome gold medal to be one otvthe prizes to bo won in the league games. It has not yet been decided as to how It is to be won. It will probably bo given to the man making the highest individual score or for tho highest individual average in a cer tain number of games played, that numbar to be not less than two-thirds of the total num ber of league games. The generous offer will bo a great incentive to bring out the best pos sible work in the men who will play. , COCKED HAT BOWLERS. In addition to a largo number of tenpin bowlers, somo of whom are small ball bowl ers, the club has quito a number of cooked hat bowlers, among whom are: Claas Denekas, who is also doing strong work with tenpins; Sydney Smith, Jules Demonet, Turley Coburn, Dr. Bicker, Shillington, Callnn Eberly, John Walker, and others.

A return game will be played here later in the month, date to bo agreed upon on the night of the initial game. The reserve team is a strong one, and at present serves a good purpose in giving tho "big" team hard practice. It has only five members and, of course, two others are added in practice. The team consists of Oliver, Meegan, O'Connor, Pearson, and Soraft. The Institute has al ivays had in its mem bership a number of good pool and billiard players, and it hopes this season to repeat its success of last year, when it so successfully played a series of games in Baltimore with tho Catholic club thero.

Mr. Joe Benrdsley. who died Ia3t week, was long an honored member of tho Institute, and by his upright life nnd attractive.manner had endeared himself to all tho members. AMOSO THE BOWLEBS. Tho regular bowling nichts aro Tuesday and Saturday nights, and tho rivalry among tho aspirants for places on tho league team is very spirited. Each candidate must bowl sixteen games, and the five making the high est seores in this number or games will com pose tho team, nnd from present indications tho team will be even stronger than last year's splendid team. As tho team di.es not begin its champion ship series until the night after the opening, its members will havo good opportunity of seeing tho character of tho work of the other teams. , A number of members of the Institute havo formed an assembly and called it th "E.

For a number of years the Washington Light Infantry was quite prominent in local athletic circles and some of onr best local athletes are now or were formerly members of tho W. L. I. C. The interest was allowed to grow lukewarm and finally died altogether. The gymnasium, which is in tho armory (one of the largest working-rooms here), ha3 all tho modern appliantes in apparatus, and it seems a pity to seo it so long and so steadily unused. Interest In tho work Is again reviving, and an active season is promised. The matter of securing the services of an instructor is now under advisement. In the meantime Harry Leo, an active mem ber and one of the best all-around athletes in the city, gives tho boys tho benefit of his ad vice and instruction. Tbe Introduction of bathing applmnces will help to make the work easier and more attractive. The athletic committee has a number of plans for tbe advancement of athletics under consideration, and as the members of the committee are full of energy and push tho In fantry will soon occupy a place in athletic lines second to none in the city. The athletic committee" consists of Capt. Al lison Nniior, chairman; J. A. Heydler. secre tary; Thoma3 Wiiliam3, P. Haltigan, and Harry McCabe. IXFANTnT BASEET-BALL. With the largo membership to draw from, thero will be little difficulty in getting up one or more stronc basket-ball teams. The friendly rivalry existing in other things between the several companies will very readily extend to baskrt-ball. and then a series of games for the championship of the corps will naturally follow. Among thosowho have played thejgame and are willing to play again, and from among whom a strong team can bo selected, are Harry Lee, Heydler, Leec 1, Boisseau. Sheridan Lee. Hammond, McCabe, and Bach hnusen. It is proposed to put in the field next season strong baseball and football teams.

It i3 composed entirely of Vermont marble from tbe quarries of Senator Proctor. On each end there towers almost to tho ceiling two colossal Boman columns of French plato glass mirrors, spanned by a beautiful arch of the same reflecting powers.

Hodgkins. who did the class work, C. Strauss & Company, Bob ert Bowdler, and Mrs. Coleman and son.

In his recent hunting expedition on tho royal estates near Turin King Humbert, of Italy, for tho first time took precautions against the possible visit of an assassin. Owing to the adviee and solicitation of Si?. Crispi his majesty was accompanied by a trustworthy guard, who slept in front of the king's door. No one could approach tho ruler without being discovered by thb man. Alter the murder of President Carnot tho Italian premier became alarmed, for the safety of his chief, and persuaded him to choose a. man of herculean build to accompany him. at all times, to serve as a shield, if neeessary in case of sudden attack. Search was made throughout the army for a man who could answer all the demands made hy the Kins and CrispL He was at last foundin the per son of a marshal of carabines, a man extraor dinarily brave and muscular. He is a fel low of "majtistlc appearance mueh more so than the King and 13 appreciative of the high trust placed in him. He accompanies Humbert every place, and sleeps so that no one can possibly enter the kins's chamber without passing over his body. He is armed as an Italian brigand might wish to be, and could, unless surprised, beat oil a dozen men. Similar precautions have beeu taken for many years for tho security of the lives of the rulers of Spain. There is "a village in Spain Espinosa by name which has king had tho honor of furnishing a certain numoer of courtiers, known a3 "llonteroa de Eaprnosa," whose duty it i to answer for the safety o tho king when he sleeps. They stand guard before the doors of the royal bed-chamber in, the night time, so that no ono can approach the door without being seen. The men of Espinosa are among the proudest In the kingdom because of this highly-prized honor. No one has ever proved unworthy of hia trust. Honesty In Politics. "Honesty in politics?" said a man who wa3 dining at tho table next the window, "huh, thero isn't any such thing. That's a fiction, that was played out long, long ago. Nowa days It is the man with the biggest fortuno who gets the o dices. I(tell you that this coun try has reached a deplorable state ot morals.' 'How's that?" asked the mart who sat acros3 from him. "Why, there i3 no honesty in business, so cial, or political life. Tho elections are crooked. The vilest sort of schemes are re sorted to in order to get votes, ifen are openly bribed. Men who get Into office steal everything they can get their hand3 on. It's the same way in business, too. You can never tell when to trust a man. People you havo dealt with for years do not hesitate to do you up if they get a chance. They sell you poor goods at high prices. They use all sorts of dishonest means to get your trade, and when thoy get it they at once proceed to get even, by cheating you. And in society why, so ciety is rotten to its core. Honesty is as saree as purity. There is nothing that ia too mean for these people who pretend to be the leaders of tho social sets. I am disgusted with the whole business. I had a good mother, who taught me to be honest, pnd I have always triedto live up to her teachings. I can look any man in the face and say that I am an honest man. But let's get out of hero and back to the office." Hia friend picked up the check and passed it over to him. As he did so ne remarked: "That fool of a waiter has made a mistake of 60 cents in our bllL" "Too much?" inquired the honest man. "Nor too little." The honest man grabbed nis hat. "Hurry up," he said, "and perhaps wo can get out of here before he finds it out. That's just so much money saved." Buffalo Express. Rossini and Meyerbeer. Kosslni, walking one day on tho boulevard with the musician Braga, wa3 greeted by Meyerbeer, who anxiously inauired after the health of his dear Bossini. "Bad, very bad." answered the latter; "a headache, asideacha, and a leg I can scarcely move." After a few moment' conversation Meyerbeer passed on, and Braga asked tho great composer how it was he had suddenly become so unwell. Smilingly Bosaini reassured his friend. "Oh, I couldn't bo better. I only wanted to pleasa Meyerbeer. He would be so glad to seo ms smash tip." San Francisco Argonaut. Ignited By a Ball of Fire.
