LOCAL CYCLING NOTES

The Columbia Athletic Club will play 9
return game of foot ball with the Mary
land Athletic Club team at National Park
tomorrow afternoon. The c. A. c. was
victorious in the game Wednesday in Bal
timore by u to 0. but the supporters of
the Maryland team claimed that the home
team was hampered by the condition of
the field and could not work its interfer-
ence with any show of success on this &C
count. On the other hand, Capt Wells of
the c. A.. c. claimed that he did not have
his regular team on the field, and so was
handicapped.
The weather tomorrow will In all proba-
bility be good and the Maryland team,
from all accounts, will be one of the
strongest that has represented the club for
some time. The c. A. c. will endeavor to
put out as strong an eleven as possible,
and if the field is in any sort of condition
the question of superiority ought to be set
tied beyond all dispute.
The Maryland team Is a strong aggrega-
ton as regards weight and grit, but the
backs are deficient in kicking, while it was
the non-working of the interference in
Wednesdays game did not lie with the
condition of the ground, but in the inabil-
ity of the home team to get together
The lineup of the Columbia team will
doubtless be much the same as that which
went against the Columbian Varsity.
Taussig and Humphrey will appear at the
ends, with Saunders, Wells, Dickinson.
Ciaudy or Bright. or perhaps Burke,
should the latter turn up in time, and Nc
Conville in the line. Reeve Lewis may APP
pear as one half with Maupin, Watson and
Hooker as applicants for the position of
the other half. The full back of the team
has not yet been decided upon. Parson
will play quarter.
Capt. Wells has given his men a good
deal of practice since the game with Co
lumbar in defensive work. and the team
works together in much better shape than
1t did last Saturday, this Improvement be-
lrg particularly noticeable in the Balti-
more game. The work of the backs has
also improved and may be looked to for
good work in tomorrows contest
The Maryland A. c. team will probably
line up as follows: Ogier, right end; Jones
or Bull. right guard; Cassard, center;
Goodwin, left guard: Cochran or Corning
,eit tac1le; kunkte, left end: Poe, quarter
back: Cabrera and Goodrich, half backs
and Wagner, full back.

From the Buffalo Commercial
One of the curiosities of the jury system.
and q sample of the intelligent comprenen-
sion of the average juryman, came to light
In Buffalo recently, and some of the per-
sons interested in recent case of consid-
cradle importance wonder how near justice
comes to beirg done by the twelve good
men and true VINO make up the juries of
our state and federal courts.
Readers of the Commercial will easily re-
members the two weeks long trial of Col.
Charles B. Gaskill of Niagara Falls before
the federal court on the charge Of being
accessory to the failure of the wrecked
First National Bank of Niagara Falls. The
jury, 1t will be remembered, disagreed, nine
being for acQuittal and three for conyic-
ton.
One of the witnesses before the Jury in
this trial was Philip Warren, the former
bookkeeper Of the bank, and he was kept
in the court room throughout the trial be-
cause of his familiarity with the books and
his ability to turn to wha tever account was
wanted or was brought in question. Thus,
MIR. Warren's face became very familiar to
the members of the jury.
Yesterday one of the jurymen one Of the
nine who had been for acquittal, met Mr..
Warren on the street in this city. and
stopped to speak to him. The juryman
said:
What brings you to Buffalo again so
soon?"
Mr.. Warren replied that he had been en-
pioyed in Buffalo nearly all the time since
the failure of the bank, and was a resident
and a voter of the city now
why, when did the bank fail? What
pank! said the juror in surprised tone
The First National Bank at Niagara
rams. more than year ago, the one Col.
Gaskill was charged with having helped to
wreck" said Mr.. Warren
Gosh" exclaimed the juryman You
don't mean to say that that bank failed
shut up-do you?"
Why, certainly said Mr. Warren, that
was "nat the trial was about
SAID the Juryman, amazedly. II thought
the bank was just trying to get even with
Col. Gaskill for losing some money for
them. Say, if I'd known them there trans

mighty different about the verdict. 7 tell

THE SOCIAL EVIL.


| Arguments Against Enforcement Of
the COmmfssi0ners' Order.
| Promptly at II o'clock this morning the
Commissioners went into board meeting
to hear the arguments Of Attorney Camp
bell Darlington against the proposition tc
| clear 18th street of disreputable houses. In
| reply to a question from one Of the Com
missioners. Mr.. Darlington named over the
| persons he represented. and a note was
| taken OF each one.
Mr.. Darlington stated he was present
not only as the representative of the wo-
men affected by the order. but also as a
citizen who had the best interests OF the
city at heart. Nor was he present in any
captfous spirit, but only to fairly and hon
estly present case strong in equities for
those poor unfortunate women on 18th
street. No one, he said disagreed with the
Commissioners in their desire to rid that
important thoroughfare of vice. but q
number OF the best citizens and business
men were opposed to taking snap tudg-
Hent and turning the women out of doors
without sufficient notice. The consensus
of opinion not only in the Immediate leigh
borhood. but throughout the entire city.
was opposed to the Commissioners action.
They believe the desire of the Commits
sioners to be proper and right, he said. hut
think II Is neither fair just nor equitable
TO turn these people out of doors at this
season of the year. Fifty people could be
10 give them six months in which TO move,
against ten who would sign to have them
remain there permanently.
When the Commissioners were children,
Mr. Darlington said, those places eA .sted,
and at least two of the women he repre-
scented were there then and now own their
property. 1t was not equitable nor just to
those who had acquired property with the
inference they would not be disturbed to
compel them to move away without sufh-
cient notice
In conclusion. Mr.. Darlington presented
a well-signed petition from a number Of
prominent merchants in the neighborhood
praying the Commissioners to wait until
the 18th of May, 1888, before insisting upon

President Robfson,s Plan,

A dispatch from Cleveland. Ohio, says
that President Frank de Haas Robson will
propose new scheme at the coming an
llual meeting of the National Base Ball
League. 1t is that the filming of players by
the umpires be done away with, and that
the umpire be fined $50 for every case in
which he fails to enforce the rules.
Every time 4 player break rule, espe-
cially these regarding personal conduct to-
ward the umpire, the umpire must put him
out of the game. When enough players are
to proceed the game must be stopped and
the admission money returned to the spec
tators and made good to the management
out of the salaries of the players.
Mr.. Robson will also propose that the
seasons schedule be made up at "a special
meeting in January, instead of in the
spring. This is to give more time to con-
slider 1t.

HAMPTON won.
The Referee Erred in Allowing

With a team from which five of the best
men were absent against an eleven the
average weight of which was twenty
pounds heavier and on an unknown field
the Columbian 'VaBsity-team of this city
succeeded in play the strong Hampton A.
c. team to a standstill yesterday The
game was won by the Hampton team on a
decision of the umpire allowing touch
down. The point occurred in the last four
minutes of play. when the ball was on CO.
lumbian's twenty-yard line. The full back
OF the Hampton team tried for place
kick, but the ball flew wide of the goal
posts. Under the rules, the ball should
nave been brought to the twenty-five-yard
line, and, although Lewis could easily have
reached the bail. he did not do so, thinking
1t unnecessary and, Holt of the Hampton
team fell on it. The referee then allowed
the touchdown in the face of a mighty pro-
test. and the goal that followed gave the
Hampton team six points. The score of
the game should have been to 0.
Inc Hampton team is considered one of
the strongest elevens in the south, and. in
the face of this handicap. the superiority

regular team were not the field the

work was concerned, the Varsity eleven
outplayed the athletic club.
Capt. Granville Lewis put up the finest
game of foot ball at half back that has
ever been seen on the Hampton field. His
sensational play in the recent Columbian
Columbia game, when he received the ball
from the kickoff on the twenty-yard line
and then advanced it through the whole
Columbia team to Columbias thirty-yard
line, was repeated in almost exactly the
same way at Hampton yesterday. Beside
this, he put up an exhibition Of kicking
and ine-bucking that was almost marvel

The Columbian boys are not cast down in
the slightest over their defeat and feel
very much elated at the showing they have

College team at Richmond, and there is
every prospect of the varsity coming out
ahead.
