ATHLETICS.


Thefootball story the Star published Thanks
giving Day was one of the best newspaper
accounts OF game ever gotten up in such
quick time. 1t was admirably put together,
end the illustrations were excellent. 1t was
the joint work of Messrs. Victor Kaufman
and Tom Noyes.
The game announced for yesterday between
the second eleven of Georgetown University
and the first one of the Washington High
School did not take place owing to the with
drawal of the later. 1t is unfortunate that
none of the teams hereabout will play the
Georg etowns.
Jack Rainier, of the G. A. G., has shown
more Improvement than any member of the
team. He is great player.
One of the most notable players in the game
on Thursday was Ramsburgh, of the George
towns. His runs and general good plays made
him prominent in the game.
The good work of the Columbia Athletic
team is due largely to the hard and persistent
efforts of Captain Louis Wells, who from the
middle of last summer has been at work on
the personnel of the team. The success that
attended the management of the team and the
laborious duty of getting the men together
and arranging games came from the unselfsh
zeal of Manager Wilson. He has given foot
ball decided boom, and has at the same
UlLne very friendly IeelluP De-
tween the contending teams.
So pleased were Messrs Schoeff and Hulme,
of the University of Pennsylvania, with the
playing of Mr.. Eugene Dyer, the guard of
Georgetown's University, that they immedi-
atey set about to secure him to play on the
University of Pennsylvania next year. 1t is
doubtful If Mr.. Dyer can be spared from the
astronomical division of the Georgetown
University. He is the best guard in the Dis
trict.
Tommy Dowd was called home yesterday
afternoon by the death of brother living at
Providence, r. l.
On Monday the C. A. c. will go to Balti-
more to play the Franklin Athletic Club, OF
that place, and much better game il
anticipated than the one that the Baltimoreans
put up here before. They will have the ser
vices of the Messrs. Poe and the four other
players of national repute, who did not play
here, and they hope to defeat the q. A. Q. A
goodly number of G. A. G. members will &C
to see the game.
On Tuesday, when the Princetons come here
to play the Columbia Athletics, Washington
people will have an opportunity of seeing the
second-best team in America play. The Prince
tons will bring with them team composed o.
! Vincent, Holley, Wheeler, Symmes Harold
Riggs, Warren, Poe, King, Flint, and Homans
and naturally large crowd will turn out t.
see the "Tgers." None of the teams outsid
of Yale have scored against Princetons thi
year, so If the local champions make poin
it will be doing great things. The game take
place at $3.50 O'clock at Capitol Park.
The policing of Capitol Park Thurs day b
Lieutenant helly, of the Sixth, was entirel
satisfactory.
Some one has set afioat the story that Dr
Won Lindgren, the accomplished oarsman an
sparrer Of the Potomac Athletic Club, is
professional. Nothing could be further froI
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-11-29

the truth. There is no straighter amateur
athlete in Washington than Won Ltndgren.
He follows outdoor sports for health and
physical development, and 1t is from pure
love of sparring that he at times takes up
that exercise.
The second eleven of the Columbia Athletic
team is contemplating game with the second
eleven of Georgetown University. 1t should
prove very interesting struggle.
The Potomacs are recruiting their ranks
with fine lot of young men, and 1t begins to
look like revival in the old club.
Hough the member lately secured from the
Y. M. G. A. by the Columbias, ought to make
one of the best high jumpers in America, and
will If he follows Professor Crossley's advice.
The Potomacs are counting on frst-class
eight-oared crew for the next season, and 1t
wouldn't be surprising to see the red and
white pushed to the front again.
The selection of Mr.. Howard Perry as presi-
dent of the A. A. q. gives general satisfaction.
Mr. Charles Mndelefr is in the city again
after several weeks absence.
1t seems to be generally accepted here
among boating men that MIR. o. P. Schmidt,
secretary of the Potomac Club, will have
unanimous Endorsement for the position of
secretary Of the National Amateur Associa-
tion made vacant by the resignation of Cap
tain w. Howard Gibson of the G. A. G.. Mr..
Schmidt would be worthy successor to Mr.
Gibson.
Mr.. Warren Day, the clever weght-thrower
and shot-putter, has severed his connection
with the Columbia Athletics. In the spring
he will join one of the other athletic organi-
cations and devote his time entirely to ath-
letics.
Veasey was the only one who had to retire
from the game on Thursday. He received a
bad twist of the arm.
The procession Of coaches previous to
Thursdays game was pleasant feature of the
day. The Potomac Athletics escorted both
teams to the grounds, and the procession as II
swept down Pennsylvania avenue, was an In
spring sight, 1t was pleasant episode and
will make stronger the good feeling between
the clubs
Lovers of the manly art of self-defense will

is there and open to all comers.

BASEBALL.

The Nationals have sent Ted Sullivan after
Burns, the clever inhelder and general utility
player OF the Chicago League team. II they
secure him he will be made captain and will
hold pivot to third base during the season.
The Philadelphia League team yesterday
sent here to get Carsey's terms, and the young
man politely told them what his figures were.
Under Harry Wright's practical eye Carsey
would make world beater.
The magnates of each of the various or
ganizations have maintained that they did
not wish any compromise from the Others,
and that they were perfectly willing TO con-
tinue the strife, knowing when they made the
assertion that it meant financial loss to them.
A scheme has recently been developed to
break up the two organizations and from the
number select twelve clubs that would form
an alliance that nothing could dissolve. 1t is
being ehampioned by prominent members of
the League, headed by President Young.
Leading members OF the Association are also
In favor OF the idea, especially several lead
ing members Of the National Club OF this

General Sporting e Notes.

Dan DAILY, the well-known middleweight,
died at st. Louis Friday night of pneumonia
His most notable fight was with Ed. Kelly.
1t lasted four hours and twelve minutes, and
was one Of the longest contests under Marquis
of Queensbury rules on record Daily leaves
a widow and two children.
Joe Acton, the "Little Demon,'' defeated
Bob Fitzsimmons, the champion middle
weight pugilist, in a catch-as-catch-c wrest-
ling match at the Occidental Club, San Fran
cisco, Friday night, for 81 900 purse. FitZ-
simmons won the first fall and Acton tn q
other two.
Patsy Cardiff, who was matched to fight
Joe McAuliffe at the Gala Club next month,
has arrived at San Francisco. He expressed
himself as being in much better condition
than he was when he fought Jackson here
two years ago.
Sergeant Owen Davis, of sword contest
fame, was fought to standstill by Jack Will
son, soldier stationed at the United States
military reservation of the Presidio, in Cali
fornia. Davis gave up at the close Of the
eighteenth round after taking much punish
ment.
At Stockton, CAL, Direct paced mile
against his record of 2:06, and made 2:07. His
quarters were 324, 1:044, 1876, and 2:07.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-11-29

CITY, This scheme is the most feasible com
promise that has ever been brought forward,
and II the various managers and directors
really desire peace, this is the opportunity to
obtain It, President Young says this matter
is bound to come to the notice of the club,
and they should take the subject up and
carry 1t through.
President Young, Of the League, is deter
mined to work up the twelve-club scheme.
1t is understood the Nationals have about
concluded negotiations with Carsey for next
year and that he will pitch again for them. II
this is so 1t shows good judgment, for in the
opinion of many able critics he was the best
pitcher in the team last year.
Secretary Kalbfus, Of the National Club,
went on mission last week after Dave FoutZ,
the Brooklyn player. He found Foutz at his
elegant home, and, making known his object,
Mr.. Kalbfus asked Foutz to name his terms.
''Well, guess l will come to Washington for
$4,000 to play first base and occasionally
pitch" This stunned the secretary, and he
left. Verdict. no Foutz.
Cahill the splendid little player Of the
Louisville, is living here and Is entered in the
medical department OF Georgetown College.
1t is now authoritatively stated that Columbus
is anxious to sell its franchise in the American
Association; at least Mr.. j. A. Williams, ex-
president of the American Association, says
30 over his own signature. This will make
Tue circuit complete ana VIII 90 away WIN
the ten-club talk, which, under certain circum-
stances, is Objectionable to all, especially in
the light OF playing schedule. The gossip
about team In New York or Brooklyn is a
bluff on the part of some loud takers, as the
idea was never really thought of.
Smiling Jem Mutrieis desirious of becoming
q manager of one of the American Association
teams.
John Montgomery Ward has at last notified
the National Club that he will not play with
them next season.
The National Club is about to give up the
idea of securing the services of Earle, the
catcher, as for some reason they have con-
cluded he is not available for them for next
year.

Convicts Must Be Returned.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 28.-The board of
prison inspectors held a consultation to-day
lasting several hours. The meeting being
private, members of the press were excluded,
but all of the gentlemen in the conferences
were interviewed by an Associated Press re-
porter, and he learned that the inspectors
passed an order for the return of the convicts
who were released from Coal Creek and Brice-
vile to these two places. The order in gen.
eral terms puts no restriction on the lessees
nor dose it fix the time when the convicts
shall be returned.

Tho Potomaos, FortnightlY.


The regular fortnightly entertainment of the
Potomac Athletic Club took place last night
at the club quarters, Pennsylvania avenue and
Seventeenth street. There was a large audi
ence present and the events were received
with applause. Through the kindness of Mr..
e. H. Droop magnificent Steinway piano
was used, and during the evening Mr.. T. G.
Swarzman gave several rectations. The club
swinging of Messrs. Loveless and Doyle, of
the Y. M. @. A., was clever performance,
while another by Mr. Doyle with piano ac-
compartment was decided novelty. DIR. j. G.
Exner gave a fine performance on the banjo.
Messrs. Wilso on and LoVeless did silent gym
nastic art that was creditable. The two spar
ring events were good, especially that between
Messrs. Moore and Jones. Both were novices
at the business and the windmill cuts they
made at each other were something mar
yellous and meant disaster If they landed.
Fortunately both escaped alive with the ad-
vantage in favor of Mr.. Moore. The second
bout between Mason and Wilson was only an
exhibition and was well received by the
spectators.

THE sEMl-ANNUAL TAX ON BANKS.
Is 1t Constitutional ?-importance Of the
Question.

WASHINGTON, September ls.-The quos-
ton Of the cOnstltiOnsllty of the tax of
one half OF | per cent imposed semi-an-
nually on national banks has been raised
IN case before the District Court against
the Treasurer Of the United States. Tres-
surer Nebeker has already been served
with the summons in the case. The bank
Directing 20 the tax IS the Twin City Ma
:ionui Bank of New Brighton, Mimi. and
the case Is IN the hands O, attorneys IN
this city. Tho ground for questioning the
constitutiouality OF the tax is that this
provision of the banking act-origiuated in
the senate aud Is obnoxious to the consti-
tutional provision that all bills for raising
revenue shall originate in the House OF
Representatives.. There are also other
grounds upon which the tax is contested
