HARDY LIVED ON HIS WITS
A Detroit Youth Made Bills He
Gould Not Pay.
Ran Away From His Comforta BILE
Home and Lived High at Other
Peoples Expense.

Frank j. Hardy, a youth of seventeen
years, who is said to have rather I'M
savory reputation at his home in Detroit,
Mich, came TO Washington to see PreSi-
dent Mckinley inaugurated, and since that
time has been in more or less trouble.
The fast pace at which he was living
soon depleted the ready cash ON hand, and
itbecame necessary for him to secure money
without paying for it. This is what got
him into trouble.
On February IA Hardy came TO the
Hotel Regent and registered without a
cent in his pocket, or any positive knowl
ledge as to where he was going to procure
any money. According to his own state
ment, made yesterday, his father, who is
prosperous and well-to-do contractor in
Detroit, had refused to send him any further
funds, but had sent him word that as he
had left home without PERMISSION he would
have to seek livelihood by the best means
he could.
He also admitted that he had become
involved in some trouble in Detroit which
"
and ntimated that he had forged his
fathers name to several checks. After
registering at the Regent, Hardy went
to the Y. NJ. c. a. and represented to
Secretary MoUlter and others of the as
sociation that he was a member of the
Detroit Y NJ c. A and after stating
that be was temporarily embarrassed, in
timated that he was in need of assistance
lie was unable TO produce any creden-
tials TO substautiate this. and in spite Of
the fact that his actions and conduct be
trayed him he was allowed free access to
the rooms, and after becoming acquainted
made various loans from d number OF
members upon the representation that he
was expecting a remittance from his father
He dressed deliberately and told big stories
of what he had done where he had been,
and who his people We're. His conduct
marked him as a wayward boy, but ScCre-
tary Moulter took an interest in him and
assisted him to considerable extent.
Matters were brought to climax yes
terday afternoon when Hardy was unable
to pay his board bill, after remaining at
the hotel nearly two weeks, and Pro-
prietor Murphy called in Detective SUIT
ton and the young man was taken to the
First precinct station.
He admitted that he had been living
rather fast and had spent all his money
in having a good time and seeing Wash
ington. While at the hotel, in spite OF
the fact that he had no money, he did
not attempt to keep down his bills, but
was always lavish in his orders.
To what extent he has obtained moneyis
not known, as all interested have decided
not uc enter any charges against him, pro-
vided he would return home.
While at the station Hardy sent for Sec
retary Moulter and a pool was formed
among the Y. NJ. c. A. boys and a ticket
for Detroit purchased to enable him to get
home. Upon this consideration it was
agreed not TO enter any charges against
him and his name was not recorded upon
the blotter.
After his release Secretary Moulter es-
corted the young man to the depot and
placed him on the train for home His
baggage was held at the Hotel Regent In-
til he could procure money TO pay his
board bill

them players must be ranked, there is no
doubt that the Cincinnati club prizes Dwy-
er far more than il does Rhines, and that
though Young ranks sixteenth and Meekin
fourteenth, these two pitchers would be
preferred by any club to most of the Pitch
ers who stand higher up in the official
averages.
There are good qualities in every pitch
er's work, which have no bearing on his
rank. For instance, Dad Clarke, of
New York, gave but 81 bases ON balls i'm 40
games, and Young only 81 in Al games,
whereas Rhnes gave 3 in II games. and
Hill 167 in So games. II bases on balls
were counted in the estimate whereby
pitchers rank is computed, Young and
Clarke would probably chan ge places with
Rhines and Hill
Official scoring has been so lax and so
go-as-you-please heretofore that official
averages have lost much OF their signifi-
canoe. To remedy this growing evil the
league has simpified its scoring rules so
as to leave them less susceptible TO double
construction, and has placed in President
Young's hands the selection and appoint
meat of official scorers. The official figures
ofthis season. therefore. will he much more
valuable than those OF the last three

Musical Program and Banquet in
Honor of New Bowling Champions.
The big banquet hall Of the Arion Sing
ing Society, handsomely decorated for
the occasion, was the scene last night of
as jolly Il gathering as ever found itself
within four walls. The occasion was the
regular monthly social gathering of the
Arion Society Bowling Club, which last
night was arranged to do honor to the
Washington Saengerbund bowling team,
the new champions of the District in the
ma ior league. The function took the form
of q handsome banquet and musicale, in
which latter the Arion Singing Society,
under the capable direction of Prof. HaleT,
took prominent and highly pleasing part.
In addition to the guests of honor, the
Eaengerbund bowlers, there Were present
representatives of Carroll Institute and
Washington Athletic Club bowling teams,
In both the leagues, and a number of in
vited guests, all bowlers or admirers of
the sport and prominent In these was
Jacohus 5. Jones, the veteran sterling
bowler of the Columbia Athletic Club.
Mr.. Fred Schlaid captain of the Saenger-
bund bowlers and a member of the Arions,
filled acceptably the post of toastmaster

Prof. Haler, the company to the number
OF some sixty guests. was seated before
three long tables. which bore in great
profusion substantials, as well as delica-
cies of the season, with a plentiful supply
Of the beautiful amber fluid and other
liquids. and it took but few moments
for the company to become just such a
Jolly. merry and eood-natured gathering
as we who know bowlers might expect
When the inner man had heen satisfied
with the good things provided, Toast
master Schlaid called the assenlblage to
order. and the feast of reason and the
flow of soul" had merry inning. Toasts
were responded to by Bernard Locraft,
or the Carroll Institute team; Capt. Will
lam Kidd. OF the Washington Athletic
Club, and JacUbus Jones, OF the c. A. C.,
who spoke at length upon a subject in
which he is past master. Then came re-
marks by Mr.. Harlow. Of the G. l. re-
serves, and by S Desio. of the Saenger
reserves, who made a most enjoyable
and witty address. Others told all they
knew ana then the assemblage settled
itself for several hours of further enjoy

all is the third place man, Hill Of the
Loufsvilles. This remarkable youngster
pitched thirty-six games, and, with most
discouraging surroundings, and in a los
ing team, managed to beat all the veterans
of the League. 1t was also his first
year in fast company. There ought to
be a great future before him, il he does
not give way to egotisIn and flattery.
The veteran Cy Young, who led the pitch

plainly showed the effects of overwork.

in the parlor, oars on the piazza and
dumbbells wherever they best can trip
unwary feet. OF course one expects to
have more freedom in such matters
when in a summer cottage than when
at home, but nevertheless it is a little
hard on the individual who has to
stumble over the the things, or on the
lady of the house, who would like to
have her surroundings as neat as pos
sible.
With timely remembrance of these
conditions, The Standard Designer illus
trates and explains continuance which
will appeal strongly to both parties,
and the athletic party should also ap-
prove of 1t, for he Or she can be sure of
the whereabouts of the different para
phernalia instead of spending valuable
minutes in hunting up the same.
The closet is made large enough to
accommodate the bicycle and long
enough for pair of sizable oars to lie
in the back. Above the closet most
handy little bracket holds the bicycle
pump, lantern, ETC., while in the corner
cabinet can be kept the oarloclis, re-
pairing tools, dumbbells, etc. The
whole affair is rather slightly than
otherwise, for the woodwork can be
painted or planed and vanished ard
the curtains made of canton flannel,
Mexican blankets or felt-whatever
matches the furnishings of the hall or
dining room best.
The hall will be found decidedly the
best place for it, as the oily odor which
is generally inseparablo from bicycling
outfits would not perhaps be altogether
agreeable to sensitive nostrils at meal
times. With an arrangement at one end
for umbrellas and row of pegs above
it the continuance will take the place of
a hatraok nicely. Even if not needed
for bicycle, the closet will be found
most convenient for the various odds
and ends that are bound to accumulate
in summer entertainments, fishing
rods, croquet or tennis sets, etc.
