DOYLE's intense EARNEsTNEss.
Not Trouble Maker, hut Thoroughly
Loynl, Says George Davis.

Loyal, Says George Davis.
George Davis, the well-known shortstop
of the New York Base Ball Club returned
to the big metropolis yesterday and in the
course of an interview with the New York
reporters had the following to say about
the Observation-Disclosures deal:
LAS to the Baltimore-W Washington deal it
is hard to say which club got the better OF
it. McJames is a superior pitcher to Amole,
but Tom Brown was anxious to secure a
left handler for the Washingtons, land that
was the reason he was willing to give I'D
McJames. Brown first tried to get Doheny
Of the New Yorks, but failed. Although
ReitZ is splendid second baseman, yet De
Montreville is a crackajack infeder. L fail
TO see where there is any comparison be-
tween Jack Doyle and McGann
Doyle is wonderful player. He is lust
the kind Washington needs. He will be of
more strength to the Senators than to the
Baltimores, because the former need a gin
gerry player to hven up the team as a whole
whereas all the Baltimores are ginsery. /
do not consider Doyle a trouble maker.
Like almost any other player, when any
one makes a misplay he kicks. When he
goes into the field he is all wrapped up in a
desire to win. 1t is this intense earnest
ness for the success Of the~team he is with
which has brought forth so many harsh re-
marks about him."

ing session of the legislature met last night

Mr.. E. NJ. Flannery acting secretary.

H. Stanley, a resolution was adopted pro-
viding that none of the money in the sink
ing fund to the credit of the present side
walks should be used for new ones. a COM
mittee Of five Was appointed to prepare q
bill for the legislature granting permits
sion to the corporation to lay brick side
walks. The question to whether the
cost for laying should be charged to the
individual property owners or whether the

the property owners the other half, was
considered at length. and it was decided
that the last plan should be reported
On motion of Mr.. Darr the question of
repeating the present clause prohibiting the
sale of liquor in Laurel was taken up, and
the question of submitting to the people
the proposition of license or no license and
the drafting of a bill to cover high license

of eleven to one the matter was referred
to committee, consisting of MeSsrs. Stan
ley, Hurley and Darr. who were Instructed
to draft a bill for presentation to the leg

ton to the people, and providing for high
license in case q favorable vote for that

ON THE ROssLYN LINKS.
Tie in the Final Round of the WASH
ingtOn Golf Club Tourney.


The semi-finals of the annual Christmas
tournament of the Washington Golf Club
were played yesterday morning and after
noon on the links at Rossyn. Two match
es were played in the morning, Mr.. Ned
Mitchell, with a handicap of one stroke,
defeating Mr.. George Dunn 3 up and = to
play, and Mr.. David H. Biddie of Philadel-
phia defeating DIR. Guy Whiting up and
q to play.
Then Mr.. Biddle and Mr.. Mitchell met
in the afternoon to decide the final round,
but so evenly were they matched that it
was impossible to play off the match be-
fore darkness, even to the extent of but
one extra hole. Mr.. Biddle is one of the
crack players of the Quaker city, and as
Mr.. Mitchell has not played much this sea-
son, although an experienced hand at the
game, he deserves no little credit for fol-
lowing the past pace set by the Philadel-
phian. The game was in all probability the
closest and most exciting ever played in
Washington.
In the semi-finals of the consultations, W.
J. Boardman beat Henry May up and 3
to play, and j. w. Lockett beat Fellows
Morgan I up and to play.
