A FAMOUS GAME
OF Base Ball Between the Lawyers
and n Picked Nine.


The lawyers baseball nine and Scrub
nine, supposed to represent the late grand
jury, but in fact composed of a mixture of
professionals and amateur ball players, met
upon the diamond field on Saturday afGcr-
noon, at the Athletic Park, to cross bats
and juegle balls for fun and the financial
benefit of our discharged policemen.
The followers of Blackstone and Chitty
were resplendent in their pretty uniforms
of white hats and knee-breeches, crushed
strawberry shirtlets and bright crimson
hose, and would easily have been mistaken
for professional nine had they have re-
Trained from going to the bat. The alleged
grand jury nine were not so resplendent in
colors, as it were. The everyday panta-
looms and the practical white shirt en-
blazoned with speckled and striped suspen-
ders made up uniform Of unpretentious
hue and skin-hiding completeness.
Mr.. G. Ridgely McBlair was the hand
some umpire and Mr. II. L. Prince the tai
ented scorer.
The game was called at 4:30, and was
played through amid the shouts and
laughter of the spectators, resulting in a
score of ii to S in favor Of the alleged 6. rs
After the game was over challenge
| from newspaper nine, to play next Satur-
| day, was presented to Captain Charley
Moore of the lawyers nine. The handsome
| Charley replied:
well play You in month from now.
| We want to get over this first"

THE EVENING CRITIC.
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
The Snd Fntc or HONEY n. RodIcr.

A very sad case Of accidental shooting,
by which young Mr.. Henry T. Rcdier lost
his life, occurred yesterday afternoon on the
Virginia shore, near the Aqueduct Bridge.
Eodier, William Hager and a young man
named Acton went out in boat and made
landing on the Virginia shore for some
pistol practice at target. After shooting
for some time Hager's revolver got out Of
order and the chambers would not revolve.
Hager undertook to see what was wrong
with the weapon, and Rodier stood beside
him looking on. Suddenly the weapon
went Off and Rodier was shot in the left
breast, Immediately above the heart. Ro1ier
ran to the skif and jumped in, and the
others started to row for the District shore,
but had only gone short distance when
Mr.. Rodier died.
The body was taken to the home of the
young mans father, No. $40 Twenty second
street northwest, and delivered to the grief
stricken parents. The father is Captain
Philip Rodier, foreman of the Treasury De.
partment Branch of the Government Print
ing Office, and his son was employed in that
office as pressman. He was 81 years and
l month old, and was highly esteemed by
those who knew him. Mr.. Hager, who
held the pistol at the time it exploded, went
to the police station and gave himself up.
The Coroner Investigated the death to-day,
and after taking the dispositions of the two
witnesses deemed an inquest unnecessary
and gave q certificate of death from acci-
dental shooting.
