WHEN is A MAN DRUNK ?
The Veterans Home Association
Discusses the Problem.

Discusses the Problem.
The directors of the Veterans Home
Association passed some resolutions at
their monthly meeting last night which
will pro obably make inmates of the home
with a fondness for "a wee drop of the
cratur" pause before they take a drop too
much.
The following resolutions offered by Di-
rector Binn opened the crusade against
intemperance:
To the end that good order and proper dis
cpline may be maintained at the home it Is
hereby ordered by the board of directors that
in future any member thereof found drunk
shall upon the third offense be dishonorably
discharged and forever debarred the privilege
of returning TO the home.
The commandant Is hereby directed TO en-
force this order and keep account OF all mem
bers discharged under il. Copies of the order
shall be conspcuously posted in all the quar-
ters Of the house.
The reading of the resolutions was fol-
lowed by discussion as to the point at
which man might fairly be considered
drunk. The general opinion seemed to be
that even the commanders unaided judg-
ment might err in the matter and there
fore 1t was resolved that a court-martial
must convict the guilty tipplers.
1t was further stated that desire for

a reckless moment to barter their gar
mentS for beer 1t was therefore resolved
that ANY man discovered disposing of
his clothing for consideration or giving
il away shall be dismissed from the home"
Some resolutions were adopted making
slightly more stringent rules respecting ad-
mission to the home. These were chiefly
with view to preventing old soldiers who
had been dishonorably discharged from
other homes from gaining admission. The
reports of officers were read and received.
The treasurer's report showed that the
receipts for the month amounted 10
S9747 "a and the disbursements to Still %.
Receipts on account of pensions, $6925 10 :;
disbursements, S192S rs; balance. $5046 A.

Bank clerks may know something about

knows how many runs they would have
made if the game hadn't stopped at the end

AT BASE BALL HEADQUARTERS.
An Air of Mystery Mas Been Hover
ing Around Il.

There has been an air of mystery hover
ing around league headquarters this week.
President Young spent several days lock ed
up in his private office wrestling with the
Official averages. Then, a few days later, a
report was flashed over the country that
there was to be secret meeting of the
league magnat@s, in some secluded spot to
consider the ways and means of dealing
with the new base ball organizat ton, which
appears to be determined to get a slice of
the prosperity now prevailing in base bail
circles.
Callers at headquarters were informed
that Mr.. Young was not about. 1t could not
be ascertained whether he was in the city
or out of 1t. The statement was simply
made that he would rot be at HEADQUARTERS
for day or two, and when the direct ques-
ton was asked: Has he gone out of town
TO attend a special meeting of the league?"
the non-committal reply was: Il cannot
say"
What would New York have done without
Charlie Farrell and Jouet Meekin? is a
question that many Washingtonians have
repeatedly asked themselves this season.
There have been star batteries in former
years, but it is doubtful if any brace of
players were ever in the same team and rem
dered more valuable ST rvice throughout the
season. The official records may not show
Farrell as TIE leader of the catchers, hor
Will Meekin top out the pitchers, but when
the all-around work of these two men is
sc-utinized every reasonable man will
award them the title of THE winning bat
terry of 1894"
All of the members of the Washington
team have gone to their respective homes
for the winter, excepting Charley Abbey
who has consented to try his luck at pro-
fessional foot ball playing. He is not en-
tirely familiar with the game, but as enc of
the substitutes on the Washington team he
gives promise of developing into winning
chaser of the pigskin.

PHILADELPHIA WON.
The Second Professional Foot Bail
Game Here This Season.

The Second Professional Foot BAIL
Game Here This Season.
The professional foot ball games that have
just been inaugurated In this city deserve
better support than they have so far re-
ceived.
Yesterday, although the local team started
out by winning on the day before, the at
tendance was quite slim, numbering less
than 800. But those who were there attest
ed their growing interest in the sport by
great enthusiasm when the Washington
kidkers, by good work, forced their oppo-
nents to hustle. The game was won by
Philadelphia, to 2.
The Washington men claimed that a play
by them in the last half gave them a goal,
but Refere Richmond admitted that he did
not see the play and he would not allow
it. There was a good deal of feeling shown
over his decision, the local players arguing
angriiy with Manager Irwin, who sat in
the grand stand, after the game had been
called.
The game was lost through the slow work
of Washington in the first half, when Phil
adelphia gained three goals in short order.
Only one point was made by the home team
in that period.
In the second half, though, the Washing
ton men seemed to get their wind and went
at the leather sphere with vim and detcrmi-
ration, which kept the visitors on the de
fensive all the time. One goal was made
quickly, and three other times the local side
had the ball over the Philadelphia goal line,
so close to the posts that goals were claim
ed. 1t is said that the disputes arising from
these close plays will hereafter be avoided
through the use of goal nets, which are
stretched over the posts, to catch over
kicks.
This will materially aid the referee in
making his decisions, which cannot then be
questioned, to whether or not the ball
went through.
The game played yesterday was too
short. The whole struggle was over by n
few minutes after ) o'clock, and people
who CHANGED to be little late saw only
small part of the work. The second half
did not seem to last much over thirty min
utes, although the regulations call for two
45-minute halves. There should be an in
vestigation into the referees watch at once.
