Record Of the Clubs.

Charley Farrell, the Washington catcher,
had just batted a short fly to second base,
being the third hand out, in the game be-
tween the Cleveland and Washington
clubs yesterday at Cleveland, when Police
Captain English and President Robson
of the home club walked on the field. and
the former placed both clubs and Umpire
Hurst under arrest.
The game had been extensively adver-
tised, ard, in consequence, there was big
attendance. All the railroads ran excur-
sions, and a large number of enthusiasts
from surrounding towns arrived in the
city during the forenoon. Soon after noon
the cars running to the ball park began
to be crowded. Long before the hour for
the game the grounds were jammed, and
the turnstile showed that 10000 people had
passed the gates. 1t was impossible to ad-
init any more without letting them on the
field, and the gates were closed. Still at
least $3.50 persons clamored for admission.
At conference yesterday morning a pro-
gram had been arranged by the police and
President Robson of the Cleveland club.
Accordingly, when one inning of the game
had been played, Police Captain English
and President Robson walked on the field
The captains OF the two teams called their
men, and Robson told them to get into
their omnibuses and go to the station
house AT the first sight of the police some
OF the crowd hissed and yelled, Put them
out"
Most of the spectators remained in their
seats, thinking the players would return
ana the game be resumed. At last 1t be-
came apparent that the game had been de-
clared OF, and about half of those present
awaited themselves of the opportunity to
get their money back, the others being
content to retain the coupons emitting
thefn to see the game today or the one of
tomorrow.
The players took their arrest good
naturedly. The buses were driven rapidly
10 the central station, where players and
umpire were docketed. President Robson
promptly gave bail in the sum of 500 for
each player. They were then released, and
went to their hotels.
The members of the teams taken into
custody were Burkett. Sockalexis, Tebeau
Mexican, Powell, Wallace, Blake, thinner
and Wilson of the Clevelands. and Brown
Seibach. De Montreville. Farrell, O'Brien
Cartwright. Abbey, German and Reilly of
the Washingtons.
1t Is announced that the players will be
arrested again next Sunday, or as many
times as they try to play

The Naval Cadets Eight Rowed a
Good Race With Cornell.
In a race over a two-mile straightaway
course on the Severn, at Annapolis, Satur-
day. the second crew of Cornell University
defeated the Naval Academy eight by two
lengths, or seven seconds. Time. 11.15.
The officers of the race Were: Referee.

nell Prof. b. T. Wheeler; for the academy.
Lieut.. Commander r. T. Jasper; timekeep-
ers, Cornell, Henry o. Ickelheimer; acad-

The water was quite rough, especially at
the mouth of the river. where the race
began. and Cornell was handicapped In
COZ sequence.
The University of Pennsylvania eight will
next row the cadets. Pennsylvania won
last year in 10 minutes and 55 seconds, by
long distance. while Cornell won this
year in IL minutes and Is seconds. with
the cadets but two lengths in the rear.
From recent trials Coach Ward and Cap
tain Boyle of Pennsylvania both believe the
present Varsity crew is stronger than last
years crew. and will have no trouble in
lowering the time made at Annapolis last
year.

1t is dangerous experiment now for
even transforming, melodramatic
troop to carry inadequate and ugly
scenery While n writer in LIE Figaro
complains that "a subscriber of the
Comedie Francaise would be ashamed
to applaud scene" an American au-
dience is always prompt and hearty
with recognition Of good stage picture
and OH occasions even calls out the
painter. In all important productions
the name Of the painter of each scene is
printed i'll the programme, aud half q
dozen names have thus become familiar
to the general public. The very decent
compensation for good scene painting
and the fascinating problems that en-
dear success should commend it most
highly to the interests of the best art
lists. The painter with tendency to
landscape can find congenial employ
ment for his highest flights of fancy
and his most intimate psychologists of
nature. The impressionist is particular
ly needed to carry out the revolution
now waging on the stage against the
old grayness and dun severity Of the
bituminous school. .-Scribner's.
