AMATEUR BASEBALL.

Things are very dull in amateur ranks
When will that A. A. u meeting be ar
ranged
Boucher would acceptably fill any place on
the A. A. U. teams.
Hauptman will probably finish the season
with the w. L. l. G.
The champion pennant for the Columbias
will arrive sometime this month.
The first season of the Amateur League was
successful and the clubs are already building
castles for the season of 1899.
The Potomac Athletics also contemplate
making trip to Richmond in a few weeks to
meet the team of that place In series of
games.
The Columbias will probably take trip
to Richmond, Va, to play the new local team
OF that place for which Quarles, late OF the
Nationals, is pitching.
The Washington Light Infantry are not cast
down over their defeat by the Columbus, as
they realize now that they went into the game
oyerburdened with too much confidence on
their ability to win. They hold that in the A.
A. U. games they will make better showing
as they realize the G. A. C.'s are foemen equal
to them in every respect.

AN ESSAY ON FLIES.
Some characteristics of the Insect which
Defies Man


Chicago Herald.
Inc ny has some advantage over q man
For instance, he has pair of double com.
pound eyes, and with them he can see in anv
direction or in all directions at once without
: for an instant turning his head
These eyes have 200 distinct faces and all
OF them have direct communication with the
Drain, so that IL a man comes along on one
SIDE OF him and lump of sugar on the other
he Will be able to watch both of them and
steer for the sugar so long as it is safe on ac-
count of the man.
when he sees he can get one and dodge the
other' that is exactly what he does, and he
does not have to twist bis neck in two irving
TO keep track of the opposite object.
The fly is particular about the air he
preatnes. He hasn't very big mouth, and
MS lungs are small in proportion to his bodv
out ne is particular what he puts into them
dood green tea, such as the best of the gro
eaI UeiH sell aor aoiar steeped pretty strong and
OF 1T. And they will drink of it. 1t is esti
mated that pound Of tea and two pounds of
sugar will rid room Of flies within ten days-
that Is small room
Files are voracious eaters. They do not care
SO much what they eat as when they eat il.
Ihey are particular about regular meals. Thev
DO not eat long at time nor much at a time
but they eat often.
Careful observers have stated that com
mon mon house ny VIII eat 42,2O0 square meals in
twelve hours. One female fly will produce
10000 young ones in single day, and thev will
develop SO rapidly as to increase two hundred
fold In weight in twenty-four hours.
Scientists have never been able to tell how
ny walks on the ceiling; or, rather they have
never been able to agree about it. All OF them
have told but no two are alike In their exnls-
nation Some say the fly has an air pump in
each OF his numerous feet, and that he walks
up there by creating vacuum in his instep
him.
Others think he carries a minute bottle of
mucllage around with him and lubricates his
hoofs with it, so that he can stay as long as he
wants to on any surface, no matter what the
attractlon OF gravity may hayc to say about it
take your choice.

Notes of the Game.


Louisville is now only twenty-four in the
van.
The recent success is good enough for any
team.
Was 1t The coons, or did the hoodoo come
from The clover?
KID Miller has reported that he is in CON
diticn for play, and he was ordered to report
for cuty on Monday.
Two ont of three is glory indeed against
Columbus. Let's do the same thing against
Cincinnati and st. Louis.
The success that has attended ladies' day
has induced the directors Of the National
Clu'' 10 set apart Tuesday and Thursday of
each week Cor the accommodation of the
ladies.
Three sweet little ladies went out in the
wooGs yesterday and gathered four-leaf clovers
They found eleven sprigs, and armed with
these they jourpeyed out to the park and sent
them 10 Manager Snyder TO give TO his players
Unfortunately they did not act as mascots
In he second inning yesterday Murphy
made Tie star catch of the season He was
away out in deep left field and fly was hit
over near the foul line. He made a hard run
and could only get near enough to put out
one band, but that one closed on it firmly. 1t
was grand play, and the people cheered him

The National Club, to its honor, and that also
of the city, is on record as saving that no
crooked player, no contract-jumper, win ever
find room in their ranks. This is right, as
Washington people are against them.
The present week promises to be the most
interesting one of the season, as on Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday the famous st.
Louis team, with Captain Comskey and his
strong aggregation, will be the attraction,
while for the rest of the week, Thursday, Fri
day, and Saturday, King Kelly and his Gin
cnnati players will battle with the Nationals.
Just now It might be we'll to remark the
healthy condition the American Association is
in. The clubs are better off financially than
the League, and as each city is self-sustaining
there is no fear of collapse of any of the or
ganizations. In previous years about this
time many clubs walked the plank, but this
season there isn't any likelihood of such
thing happening.
The chances for the Nationals getting out
of last position is good. The next club to
them, Louisville, is much weaker now than
ever, and as they have to play against such
strong teams as the Athletics and Bostons, the
prospects are that they will lose nearly all of
them The Nationals chances of winning is
now excellent as the players are in good con-
dition, and working harmoniously together.
The recent playing of Catcher Mcguire has
been of the highest order and shows that the
old reliable player is the equal of any back
stop in America. His work is grand His
right arm is more accurate in throwing than
ever, while his batting is the greatest feature
of the team. 1t is equal to any in the profess
sion, Brouthers and others included. His hit
over the extreme leftfeld fence is so far tho
record. He is great player.
1t is said that the managers of three distinct
clubs are seeking to scalp Jim Davis and
force him out of the umpireship he now holds
The consprators are said to be Barnie, of the
Baltimores; Bancroft, of Cincinnati, and Chap
man, of the Louisvilles. The opinion of
Washingtonians is that Davis is the best UNI
pire seen here this season, and allows no back
talk from the Indians of the teams. He
keeps the unruly players under control and
makes the players respect him. The National
Club should protest against his removal as
the club alone stands out for good ball and
honest umpires.
President Kraemer, of the American Asso-
citation, is determined to secure the best staff
OF umpires in the country, If money can Sc
cure them. Gaffney, looked on as the best,
who is now with the Western Association and
who could leave without violating his con-
tract, was approached, larger salary being
the bait offered him. but as soon as the West
ern people heard Of it they raised his salary
to the figures offered and he agreed to remain
The people of Washington are well satisfied
with Davis, II some other people are not, t,while
the Association lost good umpire when Sny-
der gave up his place to become manager of
the Nationals

ATHLETICS AND ROWING.

The muscular men of the clubs are now
turning their thoughts toward foot ball.
The National Regatta is just about one
month of. Hustle yourselves, oarsmen.
Freddy Mcclure, of the G. A. c., has re-
turned from pleasant visit to Philadelphia.
The Analostans are doing considerable row.
Ing, but it is certain they will not enter a crew
In any OF the races.
Baltimore is to have the annual A. A. IJ
meeting and our athletes are already getting
their feet and arms in shape.
Mills, one of the new men of the Potomacs.
is doing splendid work. and bids fair 10 be,
come one OF their best oarsmen.
Things are certainly looking lively around
the boat houses just now. 1t is not uncom-
mon TO see four and five eghts on the water.
The governors OF the Potomacs have invited
the board of governors OF the Columbia Ath-
letics and the officers of the Analostan Boat
Club to become their guests at ''stag," to be
given Monday Of this week.
Charles Courtney is out every afternoon
with the Columbia oarsmen giving them points
on the proper way to row. A junior eight,
stroked by Ralph Lee. is showing splendid
improvement ana gets along in good shape.
The regatta committee should be up and
doing, or they will start in to raise subscrip-
lions Wnen II Is too late. 1t would be an eX-
cellent idea to give the press the names of all
contributors, as 1t will tend to influence Others
to do likewise.
The joint regatta should look after the ad-
Visibility of erecting a grand stand at the
finish OF the races by which they could make
some money to pay expenses. A good size
stand at the foot of street would pay well
II the weather was fair and pleasant
The Manhattan Athletics will send their
new eight here to the National. This eight
which rowed this season as the University OF
FennsYlyania crew, is a fast one aud on July
at Philadelphia defeated the Atlsntas (New
York ,, Athletics, Maltas, and Trentons.
The new eight and four-oarea shells built by
Waters & Son, Of Troy, r. T., for the Colum-
bia Athletic Club will arrive this week and
Will add considerably to the large aotilla of
boats now possessed by the c. A. Q. Waters

COLUMBUS GETS ONE.
THE NATIONALS WENT DOWN BE
FORE THEM YESTERDAY.
The Home Team Worked Hard to Win.
ButThey Couldn't Hit the Ball Gem
eral Baseball News.

Two black pickaninnies sat on the bench
with the Columbus players yesterday after
noon snd swung their bare feet to and fro as
they saw their team winning. They were
dressed in tattered clothes OF the same shape
and pattern, had on the same ragged hats, and
looked Gs if they had been cut out of the
same piece of cloth. "Ah, Snyder, my boy,
we've got you to-day" yelled Duffee. the
dwarfsh left fielder of Columbus. "Dey is
mascots," piped Mike Lehane, "and four
leaf clovers don't go in de game, see ?"
There was a good crowd present. Not as
large as the good work Of the team lately JUS
tilted, but still it was large enough to please
both home talent and the visitors. 1t was
ladies' day and the grand stand was filled
with large delegation of this attraction of
the grounds.
The Columbus put in Dolan to pitch and the
supple-limbed youth had the Nationals com-
pletely at his mercy. He fooled them all on
long out-shoots and the heavy hitters hit at
them like so many boys Lohman got in
good hit for home run, while Alvord had
two clean ones to his credit, one of which
should have been three-bagger had he not
fallen at first base. The score should have
been tie, but disastrous error by Dowd in
the first and another by Lohman in the third
gave the visitors two of their three runs.
Carsey pitched good ball, holding the visitors
down to six hits, though he hit Sneed twice
and sent four men to bases on balls. He
struck out six and tielded his position in cap
ital style. Barring the one bad error, Lohman
caught finely, while Alyords third base work
was first class. For the visitors Donahue's
catching and kuehne's and Wheelocll's field
WORK was grand
Columbus commenced to score in the first
inning as Crooks went to first on an error of
Dowd. he was advanced to second on Duff
fees sacrifice, and to third on passed ball
by Lohman. Speed drove him home by hit to
right centre. In the third inning Lohman hit
the hrst ball pitched to him and sent it spin
ning out 10 left field, on which he made the
circuit of the bases. In order to make things
pleasant and interesting in their half of the
third Crooks went to base on balls, Carsey
struck Sneed, and then Lohman had passed
ball. He threw wildly to first base, by which
CROOKS scored. In the fourth Wheelock
bunted safely, kuehne sacrificed and sent him
to second, and on Lehane's good hit Wheelock
scored. The game in full was as follows:
