Bnse Ball Notes.

Pitcher Mark Baldwin has received an
offer to sign with Rochester Of the Eastern
League, and the Pottsville club has granted
him his release after today's game.
The Washington management has been
justly complaining of those persons who
have tried to stir up disaffection in the
club. The most notable case of the kind is
the persistent and conspicuous hostility
shown toward Joyce. No opportunity has
been lost to discredit him with the public.
Joyce was unable to play yesterday, the
damp weather affecting his leg. Thereupon
the report was circulated that he was afraid
to face the pitching of the left-handed
twirler. Breitenstein. AS a matter of fact,
Joyce knew at IL o'clock in the morning
that Breitenstein would not pitch. Few be-

that they prefer a contest between their

AN OLD LANDMARK GOING.
The Thad. Stevens House ON Capitol
Hill Now Being Demolished.

One of the historic old houses of Capitol
Hill is now being demolished to make
way for a handsome modern residence.
which is to be erected upon the site. Peo-
pie passing along street between 1st
street and New Jersey avenue southeast
have noticed for years an ancient resi-
dence on the south side of the street. which
has been one of the landmarks. The oldest
inhabitant when asked about it would say
it was formerly the home Of Thad. Stevens.
and thereupon the house assumed renewed
interest in the eyes Of many. In later
years it was the residence of Mrs. Coyle.
A project was on foot at one time to pur-
chase the house with money contributed by
colored people and to make 1t a memorial
to tine regard which the colored race enter
tains for the memory of Thad. Stevens.
Ex-senator Bruce and other colored men
of note were interested in the proposition,
but the scheme was finally abandoned.
The property was recently purchased by
DR.. T. F. Mallon, who will build upon the
lot when the old house is removed.

YALE's STRONGEST EIGHT.
Her Varsity Crew Will BE n Power
full One This Year.

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
NEW HAVEN, June 10, 1895.
The Varsity crew leave New Haven this
year with the makeup entirely settled.
Robert ]. Cooks visit ended all specula-
tions. Owing to his trip to Europe. he had
not seen the crew this spring, and his opin-
len was anXiousIy awaited. He had the
crew out in the morning and afternoon,
and when through with the days work ex-
pressed himself as well pleased. Contrary
to the other coaches, he did not express
alarm at the great weight of the crew.
This caused surprise as he was considered
to be strongly opposed to beefy oarsmen.
1t was expected that Cross, who still weighs
l9o pounds, would be removed and Bailey,
sub, put in his place. But Cross is row.
ing graceful and effective oar, and now
his place is assured.
For Langford, the freshman stroke, Mr..
Cook expressed great admiration. He said
ne was remarkably strong for new man
and had great pluck, showed good judg
ment in time. but his weakest point was
his blade work. A little coaching will rem
edy this, and with more experience he
should develop into the best stroke Yale
has had in years. AS for the rest of the
men, their places were pretty we'll settled
early N the spring. The great fault with
the whole crew is its strong tendency to
lose its snap and dash.
Rumors of some very fast time are afoat,
and, after several stretches, Capt. Arm
strong's face has been wreathed in smiles,
but he refused to give out the time made.
On the long stretches there appears a
fault that will prove dangerous unless
checked in time-the men rely too much
on sheer strength, lose their form and.
although they do not tire themselves in
their efforts. they impede the speed of the
boat rather Ian increase it.
Regular Work of the Crew.
The crew have missed but three days
work since starting in training, on January
10, and that was given them during the
spring recess. For two hours every after
noon they have rowed up and down the
Quinnipiac river and out into the harbor
and lived on training table diet since March
Is. This training has shown itself already.
The present crew is undoubtedly the
strongest that ever represented the uni
versity, if not the most skillful. But the
need of graduate coaches to irstill more
skill into the men is strongly felt. To meet
this need Robert J. Cook will be at New
London during most of the stay. Sherwood
3. Ives and Percy Bolton will be his chief

The meeting Of Mike Dirnberger and

Dirnberger, who early in the spring took
the mile competition record from Bald,
would be able to prove In race that he Is

PINE BLUFF WANTS A WATER WORKS RECEIVER RELIEVED OF
 HIS JOB.
Petition Filed in Federal Court in This City by Municipal. Authorities-T The Blun City Trying To RetaIiate For the Coup Effected by the
 Water Works Bond-
 holders.

Last spring the city of Pine Bluff filed an application in Judge John A. Williams court in this city asking for the appointment of receiver to take charge of the Pine Bluff %ater Works. l t was set forth that the water supply and service were defect i've and peoele wanted relief.
 Before the application could be act ed upon, however, the New York Se- curity and Trust Company quietly went beforeJudge Henry C. Cald well. who was then at some point in Iowa, and secured the appointments of Joseph M. Clifford, d representative of the bond holders as receiver. This coup q etat was not relished by the people of Pine Bluff, but of course they had to submit to it.
 For some time the quality and quantity of the water furnished had been theme for much discussion and the city authorities decided to go into the courts with their geriv- ances. Since Receiver Clifford took charge it would appear that com plaints have not ceased. And now the whole matter is to be taken back into the courts.
