THE CITY LEAGUE.

Matters have been very quiet this week
iu the City League. The boys are round
ing TO Ia great shape, and it's even money
that next week Will be productive OF
couple Ofvery interesting games.
The Shamrocks are at the top of the
heap with four victories and no defeats.
The Canterburys, one OF the strongest ag-
gregations OF the lot, are second, with an
even number OF defeats and victories; but
let i I be said right here that as soon as
this team gets its men workiDg together
as they should / will be something short
of an iupossibilIty 10 get the upper hand
on them.
The Eastern Athletic club comes next,
with a record OF one victory and two de-
feats.
This team has the material to make q
winning club and is bound to take a fall
out of lie best of them, and the addition
of Wolf has strengthened them wonder
fully.
The Mile Limits, the Louisviiles OF the
league. have been playing in the hardest
kind OF luck, and as snon as Miss Dame
Fortune turns her philanthrop.c smiles
away from the Shamrocks and showers
few OH them, from that time on we may
expect to see them steadily climb the
| ladder with a firm grip at that.
Midget Loveless of the Canterburys leads
the leagIe in hitting, with Warren OF the
same team good second.
i Capt Williams of the Canterburys split
| his finger last sunday, but it has healed
nicely.
The Shamrocks and the Emmett Guards
played IL benefit game last Thursday for
the firemen who lost their lives at the
big fire last week.
Cronin is laid up with sprained back,
an injury he received last week while at
| work.
The time of that Canterbury-Mile Limit
game has not been equaled in the big
League SO far, the game being finished in
an hour and half.
Langley of the Canterburys is dead
| ringer for Hassaner of the Louisvilles.
| Lyons OF the Canterburys, and formerly
of the Indiana State League, is playing
phenomenal game in the field.
| Beall Of Columbian University is putting
up a fine game for the Eastern Athletic
| Club. Hi ssE
The Canterburys would like to arrange
| games with in and out-oftown clubs, with
preference given to out-oftown clubs.

lspecial to The Times.l


Pittsburg. Pa, May 3O.-At the morning
game Pittsburg cvened up for yesterday
and won the first end OF the double header
from the Senators. For the latter McJa.nes
began the pitching. and was pounded for ten
hits before he went ont of the box.
Lester German was not much of an i'm
provenent, as the Pirates had their base
hit sticks with them, and had no difficulty
finding the ball. McJames was very wild,
and gave four bases ou balls in five in
ming. In the sixth inning Emslie rendered
n decision at secoud base that caused a
howl of Indignation from some of the spec
tators.
Merritt had singled and was on first.
Beckley went out unasssted. Cartwright
threw to DeMontreville To make a double
play and apparently caught Merritt sew
eral feet OFF the bag. Emslie called linn
safe. The Senators protested, but the kick
had no effect Many people in the grand
stand Thought Merritt was out and shouted
SO.
At the bat Joyce was the particular
bright star OF the game. He had single,
a double, a triple and u home run to his
credit In the field his star was covered
with yellow sun-spots, his three rank errors
being responsible for few Of the Pitts
burg's runs.
There We're about 1900 people at the
game, and, with the exception of the play
at second when Emslie apparently gave
Washington the best end of it, they thor
oughly enjoyed the contest.
The Senators began scoring n the second
after Cartwright got a gift. Mcclure
doubled and Cartwright scored, McGuire
reaching third on Sugden's tumble of the
throw from right. He came in on an out
at first.
In the fifth. after DeMontreville and Nc
James went out at first, Brown singled and
scored on Joyce's screaming triple to deep
center. Lush flied TO Beckley. noe More
was made in the sixth on Selbach's, Nc
Cures and Crooks singles.
At the seventh they scored three on
Browns single, Joyce's two bagger, Lush's
and Seibach's singles, and McGuire's long
fly to center.
The two in the eighth were on hits by
| German and Brown. Joyce's and Lush's
base on balls and Sclbach's single. In
the ninth the visitors went at the ball as If
they intended making a grand stand finish
After Crooks had flied TO Bechley DeAon-
treville singled, German reached first and
DeMontreyille scored on Germans hit.
Brown hunted safely, DeMoptTeville scor-
ing when SugdeD was making the play
on Browns bupt. Joyce than made his
home run, scoring German and Brown be
fore himself
Lush got a base on balls, Sclbach flied to
Donavah and Cartwright flied to Sugdcn.
| With the exception of the last two innings
| the Pirates scored.
In the fifth and sixth it grew tiresome
| watching them chasing each other around

to the mistake, and she tackled back and took
q position alongside the Olga As it was,
there was but seconds difference 10 their
starting time.
the CATFISH is fast little boat. She car
ried an enormous mainsail, and being only
sixteen feet long, special arrangement had
to be made for her crew, which was done
by means Of a sliuIng outrigger, which adj
mitted OF the crew being projected nearly
ten feet to windward. In appearance it
looked like a boat with Il crew hanging
on the outside.
Next came the Grace, a sloop owned by
Mr.. c. c. j. Norris, who acted as COM
mander, and was assisted in her manage
ment by Messrs W E. Lehr and E. c. Rueb-
sam.
The Hida, pretty little sloop, owned
by Mr.. Alfred DOolittle, was the only boat
which failed to get over within the time
specified. 1t was nearly 9:15 when she
started from up the river, but she ran
rapidly down toward the buoy and crossed
So seconds behind time.
The starting time of the boats was as
follows:
No. u, the Francina, 8, l minute and IL
seconds; No. 8, Undine, 0, 2 minutes and
20 seconds; No. 8, Spartan, 8, minutes
and 8 seconds; No. 3, Acme, 8, minutes
and . seconds; No. l BooJum, 8, 4 min
utes and 10 seconds; No. 8, Olga, 9, o
minutes and 90 seconds; No. 4, Catfish, 8,
minutes and &c seconds; No. 2, Grace,
8, 8 minutes and % seconds, and No. Z,
Hilda, 8, 10 minutes and 62 seconds.
The racing length of the boats is as
follows: Boojum, 29.1; Grace, 25.s; Tn
dine, 21.s; Catfish, 1900; Acme, 24.3;
Francina, 17.7; Hilda, 1866; Spartan, 25.5,
and olga, 22.6.
The course of the race was from the
Junction at the Arsenal point to River
View, around the black buoy at the latter
place, and back to Washington, finishing
at the starting point. For the winners
there are three prizes. The first, silver
| cup; the second, large yachting ensign,
and the third, silk club pennant
Last year the Spartan was the winner,
and the year before the Acme took first
prize.
| Late this afternoon word was received
at the river front that the Acme turned
the buoy first, being at least a quarter
OF mile in the lead of its nearest COM
petitor. The Spartan was second; Fran
Gina, third, and BooJum, last.
1t is safe to say that Acme will win.
She is in charge of Capt. Tom Florence,
an expert yachtsnan and sailor, with a
! picked crew.
1t is believed the race will be declared off.
Wind and tide are against the white wings,
and it is not thought they can complete the
| contest in the allotted time OF seven hours

The second round was all Ziegler's way.
Hawkins received severe punishment. In
the third Hawkins recovered better fo-n.
In the fourth Hawkins was decidedly groggy
and the call of time was a decided relief
to him. The fifth round was much slow
er. The sixth was much the same, with
the advantage TO Ziegler.
The seventh round proved increasingly
advantageous 10 Ziegler, he standing pun
ishment much better than Hawkins, who
was getting gToggy again. in the eighth,
though ZieGler could not knock Hawkins
out, The latter was constantly clinching ror
time. After the decision Spider Kelly, one
of Hawkins seconds, applied an epithet to
the referee which was promptly responded

beg Of you, and deign to hear me. This
young girl whom you see before you, SO
fresh and pretty, is the victim of
strange delusion. She imagines that she
is ugly"
"Well," said the queen, with ma
licious grin, "she is right. 1 never saw
more hideous object"
Jacinta, at these cruel words, thought
she would die of modification. Doubt
was no longer yossible; she must be
ugly. Her eyes closed; she fell on the
steps of the throne in deadly swoon.
But Valentin was affected very differ
emily. He cried out loudly that her maj
esty must be mad to tell such lie. He
had no time to say more. The guards
seized him, and at sign from the queen
the headsman came forward. He was al
ways beside the throne, for she might
need his services at any moment.
"Do your duty" said the queen,
pointing out the man who had insulted
her. The executioner raised his CLEAN
ing ak just as Jacinta came to herself
and opened her eyes. Then two shrieks
pierced the air. One was cry Of joy,
for in the glittering +eel Jacinta saw
herself, so charmingly pretty, and the
other scream of anguish as the wicked
soul Of the queen took flight, unable to
bear the sight Of her face in the i'm
promptu mirror. From the French in

What He1mholtz Did.

To appreciate his many sidedness we
have but to follow the development of
his life. While his first work was main
ly mathematical, his second was in
quite different field. 1t consisted in
the measurement of the velocity of prop
agation Of sensation by the nerves. To
accomplish this he must needs have
been an anatomist too.
His labors in the line of psychological
optics show that he was also a master
of psychology.
But perhaps it is by his achievements
in the remains of music that he is best
known and most celebrated. In his book,
"The Sensations of Tone" he solved
completely the riddle Of nature which
had puzzled the world since the time of
Pythagoras. Thus to give rational nu-
merical explanation of the intrieacies of
harmony and their effect on the ear,
there was need not only of mathema-
tician, an anatomist, physicist and
psychologist, but also of a musician, all
united in one man. Helmholtz was all
this and even more.-Scribner'
