POLO NOW The SOCIAL FAD
First Contest in the District Played
Yesterday at Chevy Chase.
MANY FAsHIONABLES PRESENT
CAPT. B. NJ. Earle Led the Defenders Of the
Reds to Victory Amid the Applause Of the
Spectators Matches Will Be Played Every
Saturday During the Season.

The first game OF polo ever played in the
District attracted a large number Of the fash
ionables to the Chevy Chase Club grounds
yesterday afternoon, and the new sport was
most successfully introduced. SOne year ago
II. M. Earle purchased couple OF ponies and
interested several fellow members Of the
Chevy Chase Club in polo. The result was
seen in the game yesterday, when the partici-
pants, mounted on ponies, gave a creditable
exhibition, and from the enthusiasm dis
played by the spectators their efforts were
warmly appreciated.
There were four players on each side, known
as the Reds and Blacks, the Reds being rep
resented by Il. NJ. Earle, captain, Collier,
Marrow, and Holloway, and the Browns by
Broome. captain, Ryder, Moore, and L. Earle.
In addition to the ponies ball and mallets
comprise the paraphernalia Of the game. Six
periods Of ten minutes each were occupied in
play, with flve-minute intervals for rest.
In the first periods the time expired with
out goal. and the Blacks drew first blood in
Reds tied the score, and the Blacks followed
Amid applause the Reds again tied the score
in the fifth. The sixth and last period OF play
was hotly contested, the ball going from
one end OF the field to the other, the Reds
finally scoring, thereby winning the game by
goals to 2.
Owing to the constant action the game is
similaE to a succession of pony races and
necessarily interesting to onlookers. The
Reds were greatly aided in winning through
the clever team work of Holloway and II. NJ.
Earle. When one had the ball the others in
reference was somewhat akin to football and
was very successful.
As result Of the interest taken by the club
members regular games will be played every
Saturday and later on matches may be ar
ranged with out-of-town clubs. Yesterdays
contest was refereed by Capt. Edwards, U. S.
A., who gave entire satisfaction.
Among those who drove or rode out were
Mrs. and the Misses Boardman, Miss Nc
MILAN. Miss Edie, Mrs. Butterfleld, Miss
Morrow, Miss O'Donnell, the Misses New
lands, Miss Payton, the Misses Wallach, the

The Championship Record.

PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-The game here
this afternoon between the Phillies and Wash
ington opened the championship season in
this city, and the public turned out nearly
5000 strong In honor of the occasion.
The result of the game was most satisfactory
to the big crowd, as the home team won In
canter. Esper, who held the Phillies down to
SIX hits on Thursday, was in the points for
the visitors, but the left-handed twirler just
lasted two innings when Mercer was substt-
tuted.
Such smuggling as was seen in the Phillies'
second inning has seldom been witnessed In
this city. Out of the six runs scored five
were earned When the smoke had cleared
five two-baggers and a home run were set
down against Mr.. Esper. 1t was a splendid
exhibition of hitting the ball and sufficient to
retire Esper to the bench. Mercer did well,
but the game was already gone and his good
work went for naught. Even Sam Thomp-
son, who never could hit Esper before, got in
a couple Of solid whacks and obtained revenge
for previous futile efforts.
Carsey did the pitching for the home team
and held the Senators down to three hits, but
he gave nine bases on balls. Several OF these
came together in the sixth inning, when
Washington scored two runs, all they made in
the game. Abbey singled TO left, and
after Mercer had flied out to Thompson, Car
sey gave three bases ON balls in succession,
forcing in the first run. Sullivan then made
a scratch hit, scoring Mcclure. Radford left
three men on bases by flying out TO Allen.
The Phillies flelded superbly and made
fine impression by their clean work, the spec
tators being liberal in applause. The defeat
of Thursday has been wiped out in the memo
ries of the fans by the victories of Friday and
to-day, and Irwin's men claim they will surely

LONDON, April 21.-James J. Corbett, cham
pion pugilist of the world, made his first ap-
pearance on the stage in England at Drury
Lane theater this evening. The champion
was greeted by a large audience. but there
were many vacant seats In the pit and in the
galleries. where the largest crowd was ex-
pected. The entrance of Mr.. Corbett upon
the stage was loudly cheered, and throughout
the play the actor-pugilist won considerable
applause.
"Gentlemen jack" however, was con-
demned generally as a play, but rs a means
of exhibiting the champion 1t was pro-
nounced a decided success.
The punching bag scene was positive and
startling revelation to the British public.
They were perfectly astounded at the clever
display made by the champion and loudly
demanded "encore," until the American
kindly obliged the audience by a second ex-
hibition of his skill at bag-punching.
When Corbett appeared, stripped for battle,
in the last act, his form and appearance called
forth loud demonstrations OF approval, and
at the end OF the act he was called before the
curtain amid cries OF "speech."
The critics who passed opinions upon Cor
bett this evening after having seen him In the
training scene and stripped in the last act
are unanimous In the opinion that he is pro-
badly the most perfectly trained and skillful
boxer ever before the public, and nobody
wonders that Mitchell suffered defeat ut his

Defeat at Baseball.
A young man named Dalzell faced the
Georgetown sluggers at Capital Park yester-
day afternoon, and when the latter got
through Mr.. Dalzelrs delivery had been pun
nished for nineteen hits, including three
homers. TWO triples, and one double, with the
remainder all singles. 1t was an easy victory
for Georgetown, and the Columbian Univer-
sity BOYS were outclassed in every depart
ment of the national game. The team from
over Rock creek put up slashing good
game, their batting and fielding being both
excellent. Little Hennon pitched good ball.
letting the Columbians down for one run and
four hits in the nine innings.
Carmody gave pretty exhibition OF field
ing, making two circus catches Of fly balls.
Murphy also did finely at third. while Sulli-
van and Harley hit the sphere hard and often.
Hennon made the circuit of the bases four
times, and proved to be a good all-round
player.
Greene and Bolway, of the Y. NJ. c. A.
team, did the best work for the Columbians,
while Shiller looked after second in good
style. The only run made by Columbian
University was the product of a base on balls
to Hume, Laughlin's sacrifice. and singles by
McCammon and Greene. Georgetown scored
one or more runs in all but the fifth and

AFFAIRS IN INDIAN TERRITORY.

turns With Information.

Senate Committee Sent to investigate Re-
turns With Information.
Senators Teller and Plat, OF the Senate
committee which was sent to Indian territory
two weeks ago to investigate the relations of
the Indians and the white settlers. have re-
turned and were in their seats yesterday.
Speaking of the condition of affairs in the
territory, Senator Teller said it was very un-
satisfactory, and that he had told the Indians
that he should recommend to Congress that
change be made. He says that in some parts
of the territory there are ten white persons to
one Indian and that the whites have no rights
of citizenship at all. They are not even per-
mitted to send their children to the Indian
schools, which outside of the towns are tho
only schools, and justice is very loosely ad-
minstered. owing to the system which pre-
walls. He told them that il they had not in
yited the whites to the territory they could
have continued their present system. but with
the whites there at their invitation something
would have to be done for the Improvement
of their condition. Senator Teller favors
the establishment OF government upon the
lines Of the ordinary territorial form OF gov
ernment, and thinks the lands should be di-
viied in severalty among the Indians and
part of each mans holdings made inalienable.
He also thinks that immediate steps should
be taken to improve the court facilities.
