Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. January c3.-Al
Selbach. the Gutfielder of the Wash
ington ball team. will be seen in his usual
place on the diamond the coming season,
but he has just passed the danger point iii
most unpleasant experience thai both
his physicians and himself feared would
prevent him from ever playing ball again.
Selbach has a fine residence at 2H East
Schiller street, where he is spending the
winter with his wife.
Last Sunday evening. just as they were
preparing to retire, Mrs. Selbach dropped
a lighted match on the floor Of the parlor
close to lounge The fringe of the lounge
hung down close to the floor and caught
from the flame of the match. He saw the
danger and seized the lounge to throw it
out Of doors. but the Excelsior in the
lounge caught fire then, and instantly the
whole piece of furniture was in flames.
To get 1t out of doors he had to carry it
through hall. In picking it up he caught
the lounge by the legs and the hot varnish
burned the inside of his hands terribly. 1t
stuck so that he could not get 1t off, and
cooked the flesh One thumb-his right
and oae finger-the middle finger on his
left hand-were burned to the bone. The
thumb had been broken once, and the flesh
was burned away so that he could plainly
see where the bones were knitted.
Dr. Barnes. his physician, would give
MIN no assurance that he would again be
able to use his hands with free joints of
the fingers at first. and until last night
was in doubt about the matter. Then he
openei the great blisters that had formed
and asked AL If he could move his fingers
1t was found that he could move them all
little
Dr. Barnes then assured him that there
wes no doubt that he would soon recover
full and perfect use of his hands, but said
that the fact that he was not left by the
accident with stiff fingers was entirely due
to the fact that he had kept up his gym
rasium practice, and had thick. tough skin
on his hands.
Al is still suffering a great deal from the
burns. but is happy over the assurance
that he will not In the least be incapaci-
tated from work in base ball
He has put in long hours every day in
the gymnasium. and is in the best of con-
dition Gus Schmelz, the Washington man

Columbia to Have a Crew,

Columbia University of New York may
put crew in the water after ALL There
was an enthusiastic meeting yesterday af-
ternoon of 300 alumni and undergraduates
of the university in the library room of the
law department for the purpose of agitat-
ing the subject and discussing the matter
at length. Every one present appeared
anxious that the question, which had been
closed by the action of the Athletic Union
of the university, who had decided that it
would be inadvisable to put a Columbia
crew in training for the race at Pough-
keepsia, next June, should be reopened
The chief obstacle in the way was the
financial one
A letter was read from John Murray
Mitchell, in which he wrote that since the
election he was a poor man, but sent $40
mite to the fund.
The announcement of the subscription
was received with applause. during which
some one offered a resolution that Column
bta should have a crew. The. resolution
was adopted. sad almost in the same
breath it was announced that the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Soaring of the Athletic Union
was not accepted, and he was asked to act
in the capacity of manager of the crew.
