CALL 1T A NUISANCE,
Firemen Complain of WheeImen Who
Interfere With Their Work.


Chief Paris and his assistants complain
that in this city the fremen are frequently
annoyed by wheelmen, who turn out in
large numbers every time an alarm is
sounded. 1t was only a few days ago that
Assistant Chief Belt was greatly delayed
and bicyclist's life endangered. The
wheelman persisted in riding in front of
the fire vehicle and setting the pace. He
was called to several times, but did not
seem inclined to heed the warming and
finally when the pace of the horse was in
creased the wheelman had to take to the
idewalk.
An Indianapolis paper. devoted to the in
tcrcsts of tiremen, received by Chief Paris
OF the local fire department, contains the
following. which he regards as applicable
to Washington in So far as the nuisance is
concerned:
Once again those wheelmen and wheel
women who persist in making the lives of
tiremen and drivers miserable by crowding
the apparatus and getting in its way while
on the way to fires, have received a set
back from Chief Barrett of Indianapolis
After having put up with the nuisance for a
considerable time, and finding that the
evil, far from growing less. waxed greater
the chief complained TO the board and point
ed out that the presence of SO many de-
voices of the wheel in the streets during
runs to fires added to the nervous strain Of
the drivers and also hindered the fremen
in their work, to say nothing of the danger
to the cyclists themselves, many of whom
were mere children and young women. The
ire bells OF the city, will, therefore, no
longer ring out alarms, and thus the incon-
veniences and dangers complained of will
should be adopted wherever possible else
where"

The Senators play at Pittsburg today, and
as Mercer is tabled to do the twirling they
should give a good account Of themselves.
So far the Senators tour has been a hard
one, but they have run against two good
clubs and were lucky to pull one game out
of the fire. When they strike Pittsburg,
Louisville and St. Louis brighter things
can be looked for.
DeMont now leads the Senators in bat
ting, hanging on to the leaders of the
league with 355.
Mcclure has jumped up to 800. Selbach
is back to 292. Brown go.
Reilly stands sixth as a batter among
third basemen of the league. with 268 and
eighth as fielder. with 012.
Wrigley Is tied with Reilly in batting
honors.
McJames foots the batting list with q
percentage OF 105.
DeMont is at the bottom of the list of
short stops. Setback continues to lead the
left fielders. Mercer stands fourth in the
list of pitcher. These averages are a little
later than the ones published in The Star

HARyARD,s BOATING POLICY.
Crimson FavOrs Thrce-COrncred
Race Mt PouShkeepsfc Next Year.

Crimson FayOrs n Thrce-Corncred
Race mt Poughkeepsic Next Year.
The result of the varsity race at Pough-
keepsie has set every one thinking as to
what form the tripartite will take next
year.
If Harvard had beaten Cornell at Pough-
keepsie there is little doubt that she would
have been content to resume the old dual
arrangement with Yale at New London.
Cornclis victory for second time over
Harvard has given an entirely new phase
to the question. No Harvard man, grad
ua-te undergraduate. wishes to withdraw
from contest with Cornell on the water
until Harvard shall have at least establish
ed her equality in rowing. There is also a
common objection at Harvard to having
two great races at a distance from Cam
bridge. 1t is therefore almost certain since
Harvard is unwilling to let Cornell go with
out beating her. and would be equally re-
luctant to giving up the prospect of race
with Yale, that she will bend every effort
to renewal of the three-cornered race at
PoughkeepSie next year.
George Mumford. captain of the sc
varsity and an old coach, has expressed
his entire satisfaction with a renewal of
this years arrangement He said Cornell
has demonstrated her prowess in rowing,
and her relations with us have been ex-
would please me more than to see Har-
ward. Yale and Cornell race again next
year at Poughkeepsie."
Robert f. Herrick. who captained the SO
crew, and who is still an enthusiast in row.
ing affairs. said: Il never was in favor of
trying for crew championship. for to do
that necessitates making a business of
rowing. The old arrangement between
Harvard and Yale offered sufficient oppor-
tunity for athletic glory long as it
lasted but now that nave rowed Cor
nell and been beaten by her, it seems de-
sirable and consistent with amateur sport
to keep on rowing her till we can win. The
conditions at Poughkeepsie for three
cornered regatta are the best that l know
of anywhere in the country, and l shall
hope TO see Harvard, Yale and Cornell
meet there next year"
Col William A. Bancroft, mayor of Cam
bridge, who captained the famous varsity
OF IS, and who subsequently, coached the
Harvard crews with great success, express
ed 1t: 1t is contrary to the traditions Of
Harvard rowing to withdraw from con-
test while the other college held first place.
l should therefore like to see Harvard row
Cornell next year, and WIN"

saturday League Gnn,es.

The Senators dropped the game at Cleve-
land Saturday by the score of 3 to /. Nc
James did the twrling for the Senator's
and while he pitched a fairly good game
his five bases on balls were costly. Wilson
was on the rubber for the Clevelands, and
held the Senators down to six hits and
didn't give one of the visitors free pas
sage to first. His delivery was hit hard
but directly into the hands of the opposing
feiders. His support was faultless. while
the Senators had two misplays. 1t is re-
ported that the Senators were robbed of a
fighting chance to bat out victory in the
ninth inning by a decision of Umpire
ODay. MCGUIRE batted for McJames in
this inning, and sent a nice liner to Childs
at second, too hot for that player to han
die. Mcclure beat out the bail by two or
three steps. but the decision went against
him. Brown and Setback followed with
hits that would have scored at least one
run, but DeMontreville hit to Wallace be-
ing thrown out at first and closing the
game. Selbach's batting and DeMontre-
v:lle's fielding were the features Of the
Senators work.

Record of the Clubs.
The rainy weather yesterday at Cleveland

The rainy weather yesterday at Cleveland
knocked In the head a tremendous out
pouring of base ball enthusiasts to see the
game between the Cleveiands and Wash
ingtcns. and also robbed the game of much
interest on account of wet grounds. The
home club won by the score of Il 20 T.
owing to the poor pitching of German his
delivery being hit for twenty Safeties, and
the support given him being very poor
Powell did the ts:rlng for the home club
and. while he was hit hard, his support was
perfect. the errors that were made being
placed to his own credit in the error col
umn.
At the time the gates were opened 1 p.
m, the rain was falling in torrents. and
although the downpour ceased inside of an
hour, the heavy clouds held over the city
and kept thousands at home. President
Robson was anxious 10 play the first Sun
day game, no matter what the conditions
might be. and although mud puddles were
numerous. the players trotted to their po-
sitions and did their best under the cir
cumstances.
The Senators tailed their first run in the
third inning. After German had hit to
Childs. forcing O'Brien at second, he was
forced to second on a base on balls to
Brown. and then came home on DeMonts
single to right. III the fifth three runs
came their way. Brown led Off with
beautiful single and went to third on Sell
bach's single past Childs. Mcclure fol-
lowed with scorcher to Powell " no threw
wild to first, and Brown crossed the plate.
fuckers single tailed Setback, Mcclure
going to third on the hit and home on
Eeilly's grounder TO Childs. that forced
Tucker at second. Goose eggs followed for
the Senators for the rest of the game.
The features of the game were the field
ing of Setback and DeMontreville and the
batting of Brown. the latter getting in
three nice singles.
