Fatal Weakness of the Washington
InfieId Again Demonstrated.
TIE Pittsburg Base Ball Club played an
other game yesterday afternoon at the Ma
tional Park with a number of men bearing
the letter "W" on their breasts. At the
end of nine innings one more game was
placed to the credit of the Pirates and their
hold on the lead thereby strengthened.
Washington scored one run in the first in
ming and followed it with two more in the
second. but in the third the visitors prompt
1y tied the score. Washington forged three
ahead in the sixth, and went one better in
the eighth, Pittsburg tallying one each in
the seventh and eighth, so that at the be-
ginning of the ninth the marking was g to
3 in favor of the home team, and the loyal
local rooters smiled complacently. But joy
was changed to sadness a moment later
when Mack's crew sailed ahead three runs
and took the game.
Coosan made six errors at short. which
e1o luently describes the loss Of the game.
Maui pitched winning ball and several OF
the home team made beautiful plays, Sell
bach and Abbey doing themselves proud.

Base Ball Notes,

The Washington management has at last
recognized the weakness of the club at
short and sent Coogan to the bench. He
certainly has been givrn enough Of trial
to demonstrate that the league Is now too
fast for him. He may become with ad-
vancing years a proficient player. but his
record with the Washingtons has shown
that he should spend some seasons first in
minor leagues
prising to unprejudiced observers. They
could not see how a comparatively un-
known college player could jump into one
Of the most difficult positions in the fastest
base ball organization in America, and hold
his own with such players as Glasscock,
Geo. Smith, Ely. Dahlen and Long. The
Star remarked at the time Coogan replaced
Nicholson: 1T is not stated who will fol-
low Coogan." His work in the west showed
that he had been picked too soon. Two or
three errors marked every game, and the
last two have capped the climax. He has
tried to do his best, but he is out of his
class.
The management has wisely decided to
try no more experiments at short, and has
engaged Jack Glasscock to play that posi-
ton. Reports say that Jacks arm is not
what 1t was, but in any condition he IS
better than Sullivan, Scheibeck, Nicholson
| and rCoogan, Manager Schmelz's expert
ments.
The general feeling is that SeIbach should
| have been played at short 1t is true that
he was tried there a few games last year
and then transferred. but he did not make
tithe of the errors made by other men
put in the same position by the manage
| ment. He Is built for short stop.
The idea Of playing Hassamer or Pitcher
Boyd at short when Selbach is available
looks absurd to the average rooter.
The spectators yesterday could not un-
derStard the Judgment of the manager in
keeping Coogan at short when it was plain
as pikestan that he was losing the game.
Why he was not sent to the bench puzzled
people
Glasscock should vastly strengthen the
thy of tn. game secured by Washington
since Daa Richardson was sold. That was
a costly bargain for the Senators.
Although Louisville released Glasscock
Manager McCloskey afterward recalled the
release. He is likely to make some trouble
over Jacks coming here.
The signing Of Glasscock means the
Washington's abandonment of the sense
less mania for young blood which has
afflicted some managers. 1t was probably
the work of Mr.. Earl Wagner, who is tired
of experiments. Nothing but praise Is
heard of the move.
Glasscock and Jack Crooks will be again
partners, as they were at ST. Louis in '93

ONLY ONE ECCLESINE.
Politicians Tell Many Good Stories of
the ex-senator.
Nav, World

New York World.
The death of ex-senator Thomas c. E..
Ecclesine during the week has removed one
of the most picturesque characters in New
York politics. Politicians in the past two
or three days have been reviewing many
good stories characteristic OF Rare Old
Toms" caustic wit and vituperative terms.
He wasn't old-only 50-notwithstanding
his white locks and mustache. Or this same
silvery appearance the senator once said
in one of his oratorical fights:
when ! was in TaInmany Hall and ap-
peared on the hustings to enunciate the
principles of that organization. which were
then the principles OF the true Democracy. l
was spoken OF by Tainmany men as the sill
very-haired orator. When my conscience
drove Inc to oppose that organization. be-
cause hadleft the paths OF pure Democracy.
1 was known in Tammany as that damned
old white-headed blatherskite.' ~
1t was Ecclesines description of the late
Samuel j. Tilden as "petrified mummy"
that ruptured their friendship, and stopped
Mr.. Ecclesines political career for number
of years. Once, when he was opposed to
the reelection of the late Gen. Francis B.
Spinola to Congress. he is credited with ask
ing in all seriousness a large audience of
this Italian, this Francesca Spinolitti, who
had to run away from his own country for
assaulting priest?'
1t took q good many days for "Old Spi-
nola's' friends to make it entirely clear
that he wasn't an Italian, and that he had
never had trouble with the clergy.

HOKE SMITHS RELATIONS
He Defines His Family Connections
in the Wichita Matter.
Replying to Delegate Flynn He Says
the Husband of His wife's
Cousin Is an Attorney.

Secretary Hoke Smith sent to the House
yesterday in reply to a resolution intro
duced by Delegate Flynn OF Oklahoma and
adopted by the House, calling for informa-
tion relating to the allotment of Wichita
Indian lands in Oklahoma.
Replying the section OF the resolution as
to the cause OF delay in opening the lands
to settlement, the Secretary says that the
matter of ow wDership of the lands is not yet
definitely settled and he Is of the opinion
thatit would be unwise to throw these lands
open to settlement while the claims OF the
Choctaws and Chickasaws are unsettled.
II is unnecessary, he says, TO discuss the
serious complications which might arise
involving the settlers. the Indians and the
government by such action.
Replying to that part OF the resolution
asking If any OF Secretary Smiths relatives
are interested in delaying the opening OF
the lands to settlement, Secretary Smith
says:
lone OF the counsel for the Wichitas in
the litigation is the husband OF the second
cousin OF my wife. II will lie seen that the
compensation OF this counsel is TO be
percentage of the money derived from the
sale Of the surplus la nd IN case il is decided
that the Choctaws and Chickasa ws have
no reversiOnary interest in those lands.
Il am not aware Of any interest which
the counsel for the Wichtas can have in
delaying the allotment and sale of the
surplus lands. Neither has ever suggested
an interest or desire on their part or their
clients part for delay.
No connection or relation by blood or
marriage OF mine is acting as attorney
for any party or parties interested in de-
laying the opening OF these lands to settle
ment. No party or parties have presented TO
the Interior Department any objection to
the fun and immediate execution of the act
of March 2. SS5. which provided for the
opening OF the lands.
