cusses Manager Han1on's Plan.
w. C. Temple of Pittsburg who gave to
the National League players the base ball
trophy which bears his name, holds the
opinion that Manager Hanlon is wasting
his time in urging upon the league any plan
for reviving interest in the cup series.
THE players have killed the goose that
laid the golden egg and will never again
derive any profit from the cup games"
said he. "Hanlon's plan. so far as 1t re-
lates to rewarding the first, second and
third clubs in the race, should be adopted,
because 1t is the only scheme by which
the players can be induced to exert them
selves for an entire season. The magnates
guided persons who. despite the brother
served sympathy, cannot be deceived
again. And after supplying the cash the
club owners need not expect to get 1t back
in any other way than by increased at
tendance during the championship season.
Had Manager Hanlons plan to give the
league entire control of the cup games been
adopted In the first series, as / stipulated,
all the trouble would have been averted.
Before offered the cup urged the league
to offer a cash prize. but was voted down.
Then l gave the cup, stipulating that all
contests for IT should be under the control
of the league: that the winner Of the series
should receive the larger share of the re-
ccipts. and that President Young should
appoint the umpires.
"One Of these conditions, the important

AMONG THE WHISPERS.
A Long and Close Contest at Jersey
City.

City.
From O'clock Saturday night until early
Sunday morning eighty of the strongest
whist players in the country were battling
for the supremacy of whist between the
New jersey Auxiliary and the Atlantic
Auxiliary at Jersey City. The last card
was played at 1 o'clock in game between
Capt. Otis and Aymar of New Jersey AMI
Capt. Whelan and Duvall of Baltimore
who were pitted against each other for
thirty boards. Fifty players crowded
around this table with bated breath, and
when the announcement was made that
the Atlantic had wen by nine tricks, Capt
Otis moved three cheers and a tiger for
the Atlaltics, which were given with a
will. and as cordially given to the New
Jerseys for their gallant fight.
1t was afterward discovered that mis-
take had been made in counting, which
changed the result. Instead of plus 8, Boslar
ana Ihomas are even with Eagles and
REYNOLDS. the match resulting in a tie
This should be the decision of Referee
Htanship to correct any errors at any time
and not to allow club to rest under the
onus OF defeat when 1t has made such a
gallant fight as New Jersey did.
The failure of the Washington pair to
put IN an appearance at the last minutes
caused the substitution of a pair who had
quite minus score and although it was
commebdablc in them to play, still Wash
ington was derelict in duty
The handsome club house at Jersey City
was full of minister's interested in the game.
Foster, Elwell, Taylor and Stafford of

COLUMBIAN'S VICTORY.
Foot Ball Games Throughout she
Country Saturday.

| r OOt B1ll OamcS throughout she
Country Saturday.
| For the first time in some years. the colors
of the Columbia Athletic Club foot ball
team were lowered Saturday afternoon to a
local team, in the shape of the eleven rep
resenting the Columbian University, who
won by TO 4. The game took place at
! a thousand spectators.
| The game consisted of two halves of
| twenty minutes each, and all the scoring
| done in the game worked in the first
| half The first touchdown was made by
| Columbian in about seven minutes of play
| from. which Lewis kicked beautiful goal
The c. A. c. then took hand at the rush
| ing business, and carried the ball to within
| Jew yards of the 'varsity's line. Then,
| while the referee was having a slight mis-
| ging. Maupin lodged through the line and
landed the ball safely for a touchdown
Bright missed the goal, making the score
e to 4. in Coun.bian's favor.
In the second half Reeve Lewis was put
| in as right half back; Dickinson, who had
| been playing that position, was sent to
/ the line, and McConviile retired from the
game, but that did not keep the varsity
| from making gain after gain through the
=. a. C.S center and around the left end.
| Finally, with the ball on Columbis's five
yard line. Weaver was sent around the end
successfully, but he stepped across the foul
| line and the ball was brought back, when
the varsity lost it on downs
Then commenced some terrific defensive
| play by the Columbia boys and had the
half been twenty-five irstead uf twenty
minutes in length, the club colors might
have come out flying, instead of trailing in
| the dust.
Just as they had worked the ball up to the
certer of the field the whistle blew and the
memorable game was over.
Granville Lewis, captain Of the Column
han team. put up the finest game of foot
| bali that has been seen in this city since
the last Georgetown-Columbiag game. when
| Mahoney did such magnificent work.
Lewis kicking was feature, his buckiny
| the line was Il tremendous success at al
most every trial, while his tackling was
one of the finest exhibitions of that phase
of foot bail that has been seen in Wash
ington. Without him the varsity would
| have lost.
The offensive work Of the teams was
without flaw, but the defensive work was
certainly ragged on both Sides The inter-
ference was good. but there was hardly a
| time that try for hole in either line
did not result in a gain.
Kelly of the Coumnians sprained his
ankle IN the first half. but, despite the pain.
piuckily stayed in the game.
The star play of the game occurred at
| the kick in the second half The ball
| was kicked to Lewis on the twenty-yard

The A. w. L. Trophy Contest.
Captain Otis was called on to give I'D
the A. w. L. trophy Friday night to the
Park Club Of Plainfield (by four tricks),
who will have to meet the Americans Of
Boston next Saturday, and the chances
are in favor of the Bostonians having the
trophy on their own ground to defend in
the next contest. 1t Is true the New Jer-
seys have played three trying matches in
one week, and were no doubt Handicapped
by the mental fatigue incident upon such
play. They made gallant fight and the
score shows where the battle ragged flerc-
est. Some Of the enthusiastic players who
had Travelled several hundred miles vowed
they came on to win. and would not listen
to any talk Of defeat. Several of Washing
tons star players were missed, and as
the trophy is nearer home and will have to
be defended. the c. Bi. c. Is especially
asked to send six or eight players to
Philadelphia when the New Englanders
make their raid on Philadelphia, which
VIII be about the 4th of December, and
as they have so much territory from which
to select players they will send strong
delegation. The former prestige Of the c.
81. c. Is safe in the hands Of the present
players and can demonstrate at any time
that they are as strong as any players in
the country.

to hear that two of the most tried and
trusty Of the Orioles, in fact, two pillars of

missing from next seasons team L. is an
open secret that Jack did not hitch well
with the balance of the team the past year
The feeling between Doyle and the big
four has never been of the best and last
summer there were several open rur,tures
between the scrappy first baseman and
members of the big combination McGraw
has put himself on record and says he will
not play on the same team with Doyle
again.
Manager Hanlon should be able to make
an advantageous deal for such a good man
as Doyle, and the chances are that he has
already something in his minds eye. In
deed, 1t would not be surprising to find
Jack in Brooklyn next year.
AS things are now looking the Baltimore
manager will need all his skill and good
fortune to round up the team for ~. That
meeting in Philadelphia next month is
liable to he an eventful one.
