Cleveland at Pittsburg-clear.
Record of the Clubs.

The double header at National Park yes
terday between the Washington and Pitts
burg clubs proved to be a double defeat
for the home club. 1t is seldom, indeed
that such a sorry exhibition of ball play
ing as was pat up by the Senators in the
first game is viewed by the local patrons.
There have been very poorly played
games this season at the local park, Dut
they showed in most cases lack of mechan-
icaI ability. Yesterdays exhibition comes
uEder the head of stupid playing, and as
such almost belongs in a class by itself
The Senators had luck with them through
out the game, but it seemed impossible for
them to get out of a trance and take ad-
vantage of it. The pitching of Killen and
Gardner was about on equal terms, but
the Senators were lucky in getting in long
hits and making errors that were not
costly in the first part of the game. Then
came Eagles and Gettmans errors in the
tenth, and the game was gone. In the
ninth finer chance to win a game seldom
comes Washingtons way. Mcclure led off
with a double, went TO third on Eagles
nice single, and then Killen gave a poor
exhibition of playing the game by hitting
at the fourth ball pitched when he had
three balls to his credit. Mcguire on third
started home. but was headed off and tried
to keep out of the hands of the Pirates un-
til Eagle had made third. This the latter
did, but as Mcclure coming toward
third Gettman chased Eagle off the bag,
and as result both runners were out and
the !ong-looked-for run went a-glinmering.
2 With the prestige of a win in the first
contest Dineen might have done better
work in the second game, but he went into
the dumps with the other players, and as
a result the Senators died very easily.

The western press. almost unanimously.
has been criticising President Young claim
ing that he should have prevented the ac-
ton taken by the board hf directors In
conversation with President Watkins of the
Pfttsburg club last Saturday the Freedman
Holmes case was brought UP. Mr. Watkins
is a member of the Fprene board of ii-
rectors Referring to the boards action in
the case, the Pittsburg naashate said that Il
was simple justice to, President Young to
say that he stronglysadveed against the
decision rendered by the board. President
Young urged that it 'act upon the New
York Baltimore case -alore, leaving the
breach of Holmes for future consideration
after the player had ftAd al fair and impair
tial hearing. The board however, was of
the opinion that under SECTION 80 of the
leagues constitution such Rearing was not
necessary, as the constitution is made a
part of every players contract with the
league.
The western writers of base ball will
doubtless be just to President Young and
let the blame fall where 1t belongs. Had
the directors been more intimately ae-
quainted with President Young's tempera-
ment and wisdom they would have heark-
ered to his advice, but, being of the young
er generation of base ball magnates, they
have set out to perform work on new lines.

UNITING NEAR HAVANA.
Insurgent Forces Planning n Trium-
phai Entry.

News from Havana yesterday is to the
effect that the rumors which have been
put in circulation of hate to the effect that
the Spanish army would not obey the gov
ernment's decision and evacuate Cuba are
entirely baseless.
The colonial secretaries and number
of other officials met at the palace Few
nights ago 10 receive orders from General
Blanco regarding the preparation of docu-
rents and other preliminary steps for the
evacuation of the island.
1t is reported that the insurgent forces
from the provinces of Pinar del Rio and
Matanzas are uniting in Havana province,
purposing to make a triumphal entry into
Havana city.
Considerable excitement and discomfort
exists among the insurgent sympat hiZers,
who condemn strongly all the acts of the
colonial government, and many of those
syrnpathizers are leaving the cities and
towns to join the insurgents. During the
past few days hundreds of uniforms have
been sent to the insurgents from Havana.
The insurgent general Mario Menocal is
at Rajanla, near Lugan, about two leagues
distant from Havana, where he relieved
General Alexandra Rodriguez. 1t is re-
ported that General Maya Rodriguez is
oamped between Guines and San Nicolas
with 1900 men. Leader Perico Delgado is
said to be with him.
An immense majority of the Spanish
ecAfSci eS All tHe ana the natives
faTor the annexation of the island to the
United States, which they consider the
only means of securing a stable govern
ment in Cuba. In no country has public
opinion ever apparently undergone such a
radical and rapid change as in Cuba Even
the most ardent Spanish residents now
favor annexation.
The civil governor of Havana has re-
ceived telegram from the mayor OF
Neuva Paz stating that the Diario de la
Marina had published a letter from a
correspondent in which ii was asserted
that the insurgents had committed out
RACES OF various kinds. This the mayor
declared to be absolutely false La Iucha

Anderson seemed unable to stop any of
the grounders that went out into his gar
den yesterday, but he redeemed himself on
Padden's fly to deep center that was mark
ed for home run.
Wrigley will have to do phenomenal work
to supplant Mercer at short. The latter is
felding exceptionally we'll, runs the bases
better than "Zeke" and as a. batter he Is
about the best in the Senatorial makeup.
Shertstop Davis of the New Yorks sprain-
ed his ankle badly after yesterdays game
and will not accompany The club on the
western trip. This will be a big handicap
for the Giants, as they were playing swift
ball and steadily crawling up on the lead
erS.
AL Setback was out at the grounds yes
terday on crutches for the first time since
his accident last Thursday and was greet
ed by friends on all sides. He is in very
bad shape and will not play ball any more
this season, his ankle requiring careful
nursing for next year.
The Senators left Washington last night
for St. Louis and will reach the latter city
Wednesday morning, where they are sehed-
uled for three games. From the Mound
City the Wagnerites go to Louisville, with
Cincinnati and Boston to follow. On the
face of things it looks as if the Washing
ton club has a disastrous trip before it,
and what games are won will have to be
taken at st. Louis and Louisville. The
Reds and Beaneaters win be playing for
their lives when the Senators strike Gin
cinnattland Boston. and in the present Grip
pied condition of our representatives a vic
tory seems hardly within the bounds of
possibility. But then base ball is mighty

PLAYERS TO ORGANIZE.
Decided to Protect Themselves
Against Unjust Fines.

DeciueO TO Protect Themselves
Against Unjust Fines.
A special from New York says that two
or three times during the present base ball
season it has been limited that the players
of the National League We're about to
organize an association similar to the
brotherhood that passed out of existence in
1890. A canvass is said to have been made
among the older players of the organiza-
ton, and a decision reached to go ahead
and perfect players organization. The
action of the board of directors in the
Freedman-Holmes controversy has done
more than anything to bring about final
decision upon the part of the players.
The object of the new association will not
be to establish a new league and invite an
other financial war, but to protect the in
terests of the players against unwarranted
fines on the part of the magnates. The
course adopted will be simple enough, being
nothing more nor less than appeal to civil
courts. AS there is considerable doubt that
the present form of league contract will
stand a legal test, and as the arbitrary
methods of punishment in vogue in the
league would not be upheld by justice, 1t
is apparent the players are not likely to
make 1t very comfortable if they go ahead.
1t is needless to add that the players will
not accept as members of the alliance any
New York player who testified by affidavit
against Holmes.

DIRECTORS WE'RE RIGHT.
But They Went Against Popular Sci
timent in Holiness Case.

timent in Holmes Case.
There Is no question. from base ball law
point of view, that the board of directors
of the National League had perfect right
to do just what was done In the freedman
Holmes case. Many base ball writer's have
lost sight of this fact, and claim the breach
committed by Holmes should have gone be-
fore the committee appointed to handle the
violations of the Brush resolutions. The
board Of directors is the supreme court of
the National League, and under the laws
this body can put anybody and everybody
out of the game IL 1t SO desires.
Another point in the leagues favor that
has been overlooked is a resolution that
was adopted at the big league meeting last
spring and which was signed by every pres
ident in the league. 1t reads as follows:
Il also agree to discipline any player,
captain or manager who may deserve it for
violation of this agreement upon the ball
fields of my associates II advised of the
necessity for doing so by the president of
the club upon whose grounds the offense
was committed"
Mr., Curtis. who represented Mr.. Freed
man before the board of directors, claimed
that the whole case hinged on that para
graph, and that Manager Hanlon was the
sole cause of the trouble and consequent
complications. Had Hanlon listened to
Freedman and removed Holmes from the
game as requested, all the trouble would
have been prevented. The controversy
| could have been Strengthened out after
ward.
The case promises to become one Of the
most celebr ated complications that has con-
| fronted the National League since the for
| nation of the tweive-club organization. II
Manager Hanlon has decided to abide by
the decision Of the board of directors and
| lay Holmes off for the remainder of the
| season. paying him for the time lost and
persnading ''Ducky" not to take legal 40.

WANT THE FUND RETUHNEn
Money Given to German Socfetie. for
- Chair af Catholic Uniyer.ifx

! AT yesterdays session of the German
Catholic Societies at Milwaukee there was
considerable discussion over the fund
raised toward the establishment of chair
in the Catholic University at Washington.
An application had been made, President
Weber said, for permission to make their
contribution to some Institution In Mil
waukee in place of the Washington uni
versity, but it had not been acted upon.
Twenty-three different opinions We're read
from different societies, most of them ask
ing that their contributions be returned.
Rev. Alex Berthold moved that the CON
Vention offer thanks to the United States
government for guarding the interests of
the Roman Catholic Church in the newly
acquired territory. Adopted.
The opening was made suspicious by the
address of DR.. Ernst Maria Lieber. the
leader of the centrist party in the Germsn
reichstag, who was received with uproari-
Gus applause. He regretted very much that
little attention is paid in Germany to
American affairs.
