Aims and Purposes Of the United
WheeImen.
SPORTS OF ALL SORT S

The Canterbury and Shamrock athletic
clubs are the strongest teams of the Dis
trict Base Ball League, and up to yes
terday neither one had lost a game. On
account Of the rivalry between them a
large gathering was attracted to National
Park and was rewarded by an exciting
contest, although glazing errors in several
innings allowed the score to mount up into
the double figures.
Purner pitched for the Shamrocks and
lasted for four innings, being succeeded
by Norcom.
Warren pitched steady game for the
Canterburys, and but for poor support
would have made a much better showing.
Hussey at third for the Canterburys and
game. Hughes carried off the batting and
fielding honors for the Shamrocks. The

Ply ball player and comes just where the
Bureau was weak last year His batting
Will also help the team out of many hole
The District Commissioners team, in Sc
curing the services of Green, strengthened
their field and their batting strength at the
same time. Green is an old-time player
and can play first base with any of them.
McGrath at second base for the District
team will hold his own with any of tie
second basemen of the league, although
shortstop is his regular position. His play
ing is as clean-cut and quick as 1t was
with last years Georgetown team, and the
District boys may consider themselves for
tunate in securing his services

LOCAL PLAYERS HOPEFUL.
The Correspondence Match With thu
RrOOkIyn Chess CIub

The Washington Chess Club Is quite
hopeful of the results of its match by cor
respondence with the Brooklyn Chess Club
In one game, B. the local club has an
advantage which it is thought will insure
ii a victory, as it appears that Brook
lyn must lose one or two pawns, and, te-
sides, has an inferior position. In game
"A'' the position is about even, and the
local club should secure at least a draw.
The score of the games, as far as played is
as follows:

Memphis q Charleston to go to the
Southern.

United States Circuit Judge H. H.
Lurton left for Cincinnati yesterday
and consequently an "American" re.
porter could not get to see him to
confirm the folio wing bit of news. 1t
will be remembered that the Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad is in
the hands of receivers, operated
through orders of the United States
Court. Here is the matter:
cit is foregone conclusion that
the Memphis & Charleston Railway
will fall under the immediate control
of the Southern Railway within the
next thirty days, certainly within six
ty days. A prominent railroad Off
clal, not connected with either Of the
roads named, said yesterday: "The
Southern Railway owns and has own
ed for some time the majority of the
Memphis & Charleston stock, but the
bondholders' committee is very
strong one. The Southern Railway
must have lire to Memphis and
they can afford to pay more for it
than anybody else. The old East
Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia own
ed 51-1O0 Of the Memphis & Charles
ton stock, and it is stated that that
holding has been increased. The en-
try of tie road INTO Chattanooga on
its own rails, via South Plttsburg is
a certainty, and that matter is now
not only being considered, bus the
preliminaries arranged. Several sur.
veys have been made, and final sur.
vey will be commenced early next
month. The full details will probab
ly be announced about May 1O."-
