prevent transference of the passport,
as the lines of 10 two hands are alike.

One Of the most wonderful shawls in
existence is a wooden wrap presented as
a wedding gift to the empress of Russia
by women of Orenburg, a town in the
southeastern part of the empire. When
spread out it is 10 yards square, but is
so exquisitely fine that it may be
passed through a finger ring, and when
folded makes a parcel a few inches
square.

ARTHUR IRWIN At HELM
Purchases Controlling Interest
in the Washington Club.
TAKES CHARGE ON TUESDAY
The Wagner Brothers Retire From
Active Connection With the Team
Five New Players to the Capital
City-A Shake-Up Probable.

A telegram to The Times last night
from Philadelphia states that Arthur A.
Irwin and associates, names not men
toned, yesterday purchased controlling
interest in the Washington Baseball Club,
and that Irwin will assume charge of the
clubs affairs on Tuesday next Septem-
ber Is.
The Wagner brothers will retire from
all active participation in the manage
ment of the club The action has long
been in contemplation by the Wagners,
due in great measure to the ill-success
OF the Senators this season.
Arthur Irwin, the new magnate, is too
well known in baseball circles to need an
extended introduction TO the public. His
experience I'm the selection and develop
ment of ball players is extensive, and as
a manager he is the equal of any in the
business today. Irwin's many friends in
this city will hail the news of his coming
with delight. He will bring with him TO
Washington quintet of players, the
flowers of the Eastern League They are
Pitchers Williams, Baker. and Suthoff,
Catcher Casey, and Outfelder Freeman.
Casey is the star backstop of the Eastern
League and several major league man
ayers have offered fancy prices for him.
He has been playing third base for the
Toronto Club this season and his work
has been of the gilt-edged order. He has
been hitting at the 300 clip.
"Bnck" Freeman, who has been play
ing the right field on the same club, is
known as the Jesse Burkett of the East
ern League. He is an excellent fielder
and a sure batter, and has refused flatter-
ing offers TO go with the major league.
He will strengthen the Washington Clun
wonderfully. Pitchers Williams, Baker.
and Suthoff are all clever youngsters, who
have done splendid work for their club
during the season. Mr.. Irwin regards
them as promising material for the big
league.
This arrangement, of course means a
shake-up in the present team, but II is
not probable that any radical changes
will occur this season.

STUBENER'S GREAT CARD.
Boxing Carnival at Bladensburt
Tomorrow Night.

Tomorrow Night.

by Manager Stubener in the line of glove
contests is the one scheduled for to-
morrow at his Bladensburg arena. The
twenty-round go" at 130 pounds, be-
tween kid" Wilson, of Council Grove,
Kansas, and Jack Mcconnell, of Will
mington, Del.
Wilson has never given an exhibition
before the local public, but he is a good
man as his record attests. Among the
'pugs' he has knocked out are Charles
Bevenger, in one round; George Strong
three rounds; Jack Powell, two rounds;
George Lindsay, fifteen rounds; Jim
Finney, ten rounds, and Billy Harris. one
round. He has fought draws with Wal
ter Nolan, fifteen rounds; Billy Lindsay,
fifteen rounds Johnny Van Heest, four
rounds, and Eddie Santry, four rounds.
The kid" above all, is not of the fake
stripe, as was demonstrated by his ac-
tions in the match with Hall some weeks
ago.
Mcconnell is well known throughout
the East, having fought to a draw with
such men as Jimmy Handler, of New
ark; Charles McKeever, of Philadelphia;
and Jack Daily, of Wilmington, Del.
Two preliminary exhibitions will be
given, one of six rounds, bet Eeen Ar
thur Jones and Billy Clinton, and anoth-
er of four rounds, between Jack Will
liams, of New Orleans, and Fletcher
Wright, of Baltimore, a pupil of Jim
