Germans Delivery Was Easy for the
Eastern LeaHuers.
Seven thousand persons witnessed the
Providence Club of the Eastern League de-
feat the Senators yesterday in an exhibit
ton game at Rocky PoiEt, r. I. 1t was a
game of batting, pure and simple, the
grounds did not admit of brilliant playing.
young man named Friel, who twirled for
Providence, was somewhat of an enigma to
the Senators, while German was touched
up for twenty-six hits. McCauley caught
for Washington and was given ovation,
he being last season the star catcher of
the Providence team. A number of ad-
nirers presented McCauley with costly
gold-headed cane. The Senators were en-
tertained right royalty and rendered a fish

Morton Cadets and Wheel Races

Morton Cadets and Wheel Races
Make Pretty Program.
The Morton Cadets, Saturday afternoon,
journeyed to the International Athletic
Park. on the Conduit road, and reproduced
in almost every detail the drill which re-
Gently won the Galveston cup and the
championship title for the company at the
Savannah interstate drill, held in May last.
In connection with the drill several bicycle
races were rum and all in all the affair
was complete success.
The exercises opened with one-mle b-
cycle race, open to all comers which was
won by Fred Schade, with Fred Sims sec
ond and Billie Sims third. During the
greater portion of the race George Ball of
the Road Club was in the lead, but on the
final lap Schade and Sims spurted, and for
a time it looked very much as though
Sims would cross the tape in first place,
but Schade managed to pull in ahead. The
time was 2.34, one second inside the limit.
The second race was two-mile handi-
cap, in which Schade was given fifty yards
against Sims. After the second lap the
latter dropped out of the race, apparently
realizing that it was impossible to success
fully overcome such odds. There were six
teen other riders in the race, and although
some were 225 yards ahead of Schade, he
made picturesque squirt on the last lap
and finished several f4Ft ahead OF George
ard of the Road Glib Third. The time was
4.42.
Schade received s-sositaire diamond ring
as first prize in the mile open, and a dia-
mond scarf pin for winning the handicap.
Fred Sims was presented with a garnet
scarf pin and Billie Sims with garnet and
diamond pin. Diamond pins were the Sec
ond and third PRIZES in the handicap race.
Schade wore the colors Of the Morton
Cadets, being an honorary member of that
organization.
The drill of the Morton Cadets was un-
doubtedly the feature 6f the day. Headed
by the Mt. Pleasant Field Band they
marched on the ffld wearing white duck
caps Capt. Shilling followed the program
used on the Savannah field and all the in
tricate movements in1 the school of the
company, as provided in the drill regula-
tions were executed in manner as well
nigh perfect as could be conceived. At the
conclusion of the drill in the school Of the
company the Mortons retired to a line of
tents and shortly thereafter reappeared
this time looking rather business-like in
the National Guard field Dress with leggins
and campaign hats. The extended order
movements that followed were a revela-
ton to the spectators the exhibition of
skirmishing being practical demonstra-
ton of what would be done by troops in
case of real trouble.
The races were in charge of the follow

cent Cleveland Trouble.
John NJ. Ward, in a New Y ork paper toA

ficulty between Umpire Lynch and Capt.
Tebeau at Cleveland, and his conclusions
are all in favor of Lynch, who Is declared
to be a gentleman by instinct, scrupulously
conscientious, perfectly impartial, and a
thorough master of his, position.
In summing up, Ward says:
1T is sad to record but it is none the
less a fact, that President Young himself
is-largely Responsible fof the present state
of affairs Each winter the magnates sol
emily give Mr.. Young supreme control of
umpires, and each summer every single one
Of them does his best to manipulate the
staff for his own advantage. And Presi-
dent Young permits himself to be governed
by their protests. But whenever, at the re-
quest or demand of any magnate, however
powerful, he removes, or transfers an UNI
Fire, keeps him away from a certain

pcndence and confidence of his own Official
but at the same he is spreading and en-
couraGing among players a spirit of de-
fiance and desrespect for the umpires au-
tLority.
To begin with. every umpire should have
a place to dress after the game, entirely
removed from the players of either team.
Te permit him to dress in the same room
with either<team is serious mistake. AZ
ter the game, when his authority is practi-
cally, even Ii not theoretically, at an end.
he is subject to the fiercest attacks. and
many time en- umpires decisions On the
field are doubtless Influenced by what he
fears he might have to go through in the
dressing room 4e-na - 80 ~, IS sso :
Without doubt President Young should
give his umpires more unfifnchinS support.
This may involve something to President
Young; indeed, it is conceivable that it
might cost him the position he has held so
long. But If, in the annals of the national
game, he wishes to be remembered as truly
great, he must give more attention to this,
one of his most important duties.

The result was such strong mutual affec-

clsion aroused a storm of opposition, and
all kinds of difficulties were raised, at one
time threatening the young people with
entire separation.
Opposition, however, only strengthened
Duchess Pauline in her determination.
and she wisely appealed to her uncle, who,
touched by her constancy, gave his con-

match, and silenced ali objections. The
marriage took place soon after in the little

About three years ago we were invited by
