BEST TIE TO KICK a MAN.
First Save His Life and Then You
May Apply Your Boot
with Tn9punity.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly toward
themselves and the rest Of humanity just
as they reached the middle OF a crossing
one OF those aggTavating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped d.
Iectly IN front OF a cable car which was
rounding the corner. Of course the ca had
no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the bewil-
deTed man looked IN the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped to
the side of the track and grabbed the man
by the collar and yanked him clear Of the
tracks and almost out Of his shoes Then
he gave him another ferOciOus Jerk to get
him out of the way of an express wagon,
and, getting him at proper range at the same
time, he gave the poor man kick that must
have driven his spine up INTO his hat. And
with the kick Quirk rOared:
"COnfOund YOU, keep your eyes open when
you are On the street."
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perk
tOtteTed to the curb, sat down and laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:
You are the only big enough idiot on
earth to save a mans life and then kick
him for it."-Chicago Times-Herald.

SWAIN At HIS BEST.
The Cincinnati Reds Could Make Only
Four Hits.

The Senator's made it three out of four
at Cincinnati yesterday, defeating the
Reds in very one-sided game, in which
Cy Swain took the center of the stage in
the first act and never relinquished II.
Cy was at his very best. the hard-hitting
Ewingtes getting but four hits off his
peculiar delivery and scoring but twice
during the nine innings. He struck out
three men, or rather he compelled McPhee
to fan three times, gave four passes, Sc
cured single and scored run. All in all
the elongated twirIer was very much in
evidence, while his rival Pink Hawley,
again proved an easy mark for the vsi-
tors, being hit for three doubles, a three
bagger, and nine singles, nine runs result
ing, of which four were earned, his sup
porters earning but one of their two runs.
The fielding of both teams was again
first class, but one misplay being charged
up against them and but two against the
Washington men. The playing of the
senatorial infield was of the highest order,
Reitz, Myers and Wrigley accepting every
thing which came their way, and two
catches of Anderson and Gettman were of
the hair-raisins description. Selbach did
not have chance in the field, but at the
bat ne got a single and a triple

CURRENT SPORTING NOTES
Record of the Clubs.

Regarding the reported effort to obtain
Doyle, Gettman or Selbach the Commercial
Tribune of Cincinnati says:
A deal which will bring Jack Doyle and
outfielder, either AL Selbach or young
Gettman. to this city may be consummated
some time today.
J. Earl Wagner, the president of the
Washington club, and President John T.
Brush of the Cincinnati club had a long
conference yesterday morning. The confab
resulted in Mr.. Wagner putting price on
Doyle, which Mr.. Brush has under consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Brush left for Arkansas after
yesterdays game but before he left he had
a talk with Treasurer Lloyd, who will at
tend to the matter. Captain Ewing and
Mr.. Brush were also closeted at the st.
Nicholas yesterday morning.
Mr. Wagner said last night:
The Cincinnati club has asked for my
price for Doyle. and / have given it to
them. Mr.. Brush also wants an outhelder,
and Selbach may be in the deal when Ii Is
closed. There ara three clubs after Doyle.
New York wants him badly, and there Is
another club besides Cincinnati after him.
The highest bidder will secure him. / re-
ceived a telegram from Doyle this morning
begging me to make a deal for him. He
wants to get away from Washington, and
would like to play here. The deal Will
either be made or declared off tomorrow.
Mr.. Lloyd and Captain Ewing have now
got the matter in charge, since Mr.. Brush
left the city. Mr.. Brush realizes that Doyle
would make a great man for his team. He
needs a hustler and a leader combined to
bring that team to the front, and Doyle is
the man to do it,"
Captain Ewin:, denied that the Cincinnati
club was after Doyle. after yesterday S
game, and when asked If there was any
other member of the Washington team that
he would like to have for the Reds, said ::
Yes, there is, but am not going to make
his name public" Then the conversation
drifted to Gettman and Selbach, and Ewing
spoke highly of both. He was asked which
man of the two he preferred. and ne only
smiled, refusing to be caught mapping. 1t
is now 4 fact, and not a rumor that the
Cincinnati club wants Doyle, nOtwiths tand-
ing Ewing's denial. President Brush re-
afizes that his club has no chance for first
place or even second, unless he has man
on the team who will lead them If Doyle
is secured he will play first base.
Mr.. Wagner said later it was probable
that the Cincinnati club would put Stein
feldt in the deal for Doyle, but ths fact of
the matter seems to be that Wagner is
anxious to get Steinfeldt.
Mr.. Wagner also admitted that the New
York club was negotiating with him for
Doyle's release, and that it was likely that
Doyle would go to New York and Scrappy
Joyce would come to Washington.

Yale Varsity had no little trouble in de-
feating last year.

crew confidently expect TO see it we'll to the

The crew Is light one, averaging only
I5f pounds This, however is of small mo-
Inent, as Cornell was the lghtest of the
three crews at New London. They are
banking heavily in the west on Wisconsin
and the betting in Chicago is even money
against Cornell.
The Cornells have announced that thew
Will never consent TO row the New London
course again "Of course, We are glad"
said Capt Colson, that we had the worst
position. for II leaves no chance to say il
was not a fair defeat But il is absurd to
esk crew to row over such a course
Why. at one time we were in three feet of
water and only ten feet from the shore"
With Cornell determined against New
London. and Pennsylvania equally antag-

are that the crews will go to Saratoga
