LEFT THE TOURNEY.
Withdrawal of One of the Whist
Climbs.

No more matches have been played in
the inter-club whist tourney. Owing to a
misunderstanding among the members of
the LIE Droit Park Club, that club has
withdrawn from the contest. Consequent
ly, the Capital Bicycle Club won first place
with four victories and no defeats. The
Mt. Peasants are second with two vic
tories and one defeat. They have not play
ed the Washington Club yet, but We're on
hand on the scheduled evening. The Wash
ington team was unable to play on that
evening, and could not get word to the Mt
Peasants In time. No new date has been
set for the match. The Capitol Hill and 1
Street clubs also have postponed match
which will probably be played the coming
week.
There is prospect of an early match be-
tween the Capitol Hill and Mt. Pleasant
clubs. These clubs are nearly evenly
matched, and it will take more than one
contest to decide the question of superior
ity.
A problem, which Is now stirring the
whist circles of Baltimore and Washing
ton. is the following, taken from Whist:

south are to take six of the eight tricks.

McGiIlicuddy's Pirates Had No TrOu-
bic With the Language.

1t was bad enough Thursday to satisfy
the most enthusiastic Pittsburg rooter, but
the Pirates, 1t seems, were not satisfied.
Connie Mack organized a class in language
yesterday, and his pupils demonstrated 10
the satisfaction of everybody that as lin
gusts they occupy seats in the band wag-
on. The particular subject under discus
sion was German, and the Interpretation of
his curves proved SO easy that seven of
Maclls marauders moved arour the bases
in the first Inning, and right there won the
game.
The exhibition of twriling by Lester Ger
man in his first game for Washington was
quite pitiful to gaze upon, ard it would
seem that in one instance, at least, Arthur
Irwin displayed good Judgment. Boyd took
Germans place after the first inning, and
although the final score was 16 to ) in ia
vor of the t'other side, tie Pittsburg writ
ers say that Jake is deserving of praise for
the work he did with eN erything against
him. Young Hughey twirled for Pittsburg
ard held the men from Washington down
to eight hits. Joyce and Mcclure made
two-base hits, but the game, a whole,
was featureless
Mercer will pitch today, and there are
hopes of saving the record from being three
straight.

AT CLUB HEADQUARTERS.
Mr.. Wagner on Good Terms With
Himself Nowadays.

Earl Wagner says he is smoking mine
teen-cent cigars" throwing out his chest
and watching the bicycle riders on Penn
sylvania avenue while Scrappy Joyce is
leading the Senators to glory. He was
talking few nights ago about his great
luck in finding Lush, De Montreyille, Rog-
ers and McCauley. Said he: IF a base
ball magnate gets one good player out of
eight or ten experiments he considers him
self lucky, but picked up a quartet of the
sandest lads to be found in the league.
They tel, me that Mr.. Freedman says he
watched the work of Rogers and McCauley
for two weeks, and reached the conclusion
that they were not fast enough for league
company. Now, i had a little experience
on the watch tower with those two young
men. 1 watched their work for three
weeks. going Mr. Freedman one week bet
ter. l went up to their stamping ground
and quietly observed their actions on the
field, ard 1 came to the conclusion that
they We're fast enough for me. / thought
well of them that l went out to Uncle
Nicks' castle the night before their con-
tracts with the minor league expired. and
as soon as the clock struck twelve l put in
my claim for them the moment they were
eligible. That shows what l thought of
them
1t is not probable that Jack Crooks will
get into the game with the Senators while
Jack says he is loyal to the WaShingtons,
and he has no desire to break up the COM
bination while it is in winning form. He
so informed Earl Wagner. In the mean
time Jack will sit on the bench, Jolly his
comrades along, and draw his salary until
some accident happens to one of the in
fielders, then he will resume business at
the old stand. Mr.. Wagner appreciated
the suggestion, as 1t originated with Jack,
consequently there is no hard feeling on the
subject.

DIDDLEBOCK SUSPENDED.
Browns Manager Says He Was As.
sauItcd on the Street.

Manager Harry Diddlebock has been tenn
porarly superseded as manager of the ST.
Louis Browns by Arlie Latham. Won der
Abe took this action yesterday afternoon.
Didllebock is in bed at his home, suffer-
ing from three bad cuts and contusions, one
between the eyes, one across the bridge of
the nose and third on the lower lip. He
says a gang made a vicious assault upon
him on the street at 2:30 o'clock yesterday
morning. The assault, he says, was in pur
suance of the avowed policy of clique
which has expressed its intention of run
ming him out of st. Louis.
The policemen who took him home said
that Diddlebock was not intoxicated. The
board of directors will consider the case
and it Is probable that Diddlebock will be
released.
There have been two factions in the club
since the season opened, and it is charged
that Latham has been pulling the wires to
get Diddlebock's place, while Diddlebock,
who benched Latham and put Myers on
third, has tried to get Won der Abe to re-
lease Latham

three balls and two strikes called, Captain
Nash was not ready for quick pitch. The
ball was sent over the plate and struck

Nash, who failed to run. The Cllicagos

his fine work. He rushed up to Emslie and
claimed the ball was foul, but the umpire
said nay. Then the Cleveland captain pull
ed the rules on Emslie, and turned the
pages until he struck rule 80, which reads:
"A foul hit is ball that bounds or rolls
outside the foul lines between home and
first base or home and third base without
interference by PLAYER" AS none of the
trio of Spiders had ihterfered with the fly
1t was clearly foul, although under the
rule killed two years ago the hit would
have been rated fair. In the olden days
flies that penetrated ten feet in the air and
then dropped on fair ground were recorded
as safe hits: The new rule came into fash
lon when the "bunt' hit became popular,
and was adopted so as to kill off discus
sion. 1S
Some fault was found with Captain Joyce
wednesday evening by local enthusiasts
who want the Senators to win all the time,
over the fact that Anderson was pitched at
Cleveland, or that he was not taken out OF
the box after the first inning. This criticism
does the captain an injustice Anderson Is
paid to pitch, and the third Cleveland game
was the one in which to try him. The Sena-
tors could hardly expect to capture two
games at the Spiders home, and even one Is
entirely satisfactory. That Anderson was
not taken out of the box is justified in tho
parallel case of the great Nichols at Cincin-
natl last Monday The latter was hit for six
runs IN the first inning, and was kept In to
De laced all over the field for the remainder
or the game. No kick was coming over
Nichols work, because he is a great pitcher;
therefore, Andersons work should be criti-
clsed len1ently, as he is bound to do good
work for the Senators when good hot
weather comes. With the pitching corps all
tried out and in good shape, the Senators
can be depended upon to hold their own in
any company. But, remember, they are
away from home, and that the strong Pitts
burgs have lost three straight on their own
grounds.

Capt. Tebeau Is one of the best-versed
players in the league when it comes down
to the rules OF play, says the Cincinnati
Inquirer. and although Umpire Emslie was
Missed for reversing that decision on Ew-
tng's fly in the first inning, Capt. Tebeau's
point was we'll taken. and the umpire SIM
ply followed the book Of rules. The incl
dent proved conclusively that the rules of
play are not perfect. and can stand revision
without doing any injury to the game
Here Is the play, and It's nice one for an
umpire to fully understand. Holiday was
on third two men were out. when Ewing
drove sky scraper into the diamond lust
over the base line in right field. Either
Cuppy. Tebeau or O'Conr or could have
taken Il. They grouped themselves under
the ball like the statue Of THE Three
Graces.m and the ball dropped between
them. The reverse twist on the ball was
so great that 1t threw 1t back so that it
rolled on foul ground between the home
plate and first base. Holiday went home
and Ewing slid safely into second on a
poor throw by o'Connor. who had recov-
cred the ball. All the onlookers were
squeezing themselves over the safe out
come of the fiuke hit. when Tebeau got in
