RRENT SPORTING NOTES

One of washington's well-known and IA
vcrite ball players, Charley Farrell. re-
ported at National Park this morning and
is ready to drop at once into the practice
regulations inaugurated by Capt. Brown
for the Senators. Charley, like all the
other Washington players that have re-
ported this spring, Is the picture Of health,
his weight being down to playing figures.
He has been playing hand ball all winter,
TO which he attributes his fine condition.
Farrell would have been in Washington
several weeks ago, but remained at home
in the hopes of d'sposing of valuable
piece of real estate, of which he Is the
owner. But prices are so low that he will
retain his holdings until the market takes
AT upward squirt in New England. Speak
ing OF the prospects of the Washington
club for the coming season, Farrell said
he thought the aggregation looked stronger
in every way than last season.
The weather was too rough this morning
for outdoor exercise, and the boys passed
the time in the club house talking over
OLD times. personal experiences and fan
ning,' that is, talking base ball.
Mr.. Wagner told an Evening Star report
er that he had nothing to tell about the
Doyle case. Everything is up to the great
first baseman. Doyle has neither written
line nor sent a werd through the second
person to Mr.. Wagner as to his Intentions,
outside of the only letter he has written
some time since, when he said ne had de-
termined not to play this year. Mr.. Wag-
ner is confident that Doyle will report In
good time and be willing to give the club
his best efforts.
In reference to contracts Mr.. Wagner
says that there will be no trouble between
the players and himself, as he clearly
recognizes the fact that dissatisfied en-
ploye is worth nothing to the employer.
"Co6ney" Snyder, the catcher drafted from
Toronto. has written a very nice letter to
Mr. Wagner, stating in clear, manly
fashion that he thinks he is worth more
money than the contract sent him calls
for. but that he will be on hand early and
prepared to give the club his best efforts
and trust to the fairness Of the Washing
ton magnate

Held Last Evening.
The regular weekly meeting last evening
of the Central Labor Union. which was
held at Typographical Temple, was largely
attended. President N. c. Sprague occu-
pied the chair and Mr.. ]. J. Crowley was
secretary.
A communication was read from Local
No. %. of the National Alliance of The
atrical Stage Employees, stating that they
have failed SO far to have their members
employed in two Of the theaters in this
city, and they requested that a committee
be appointed to call on the managers of
the theaters referred to, and ask them to
employ union men. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on organization.
A communication was read from Mr.. w.

Scheme of Evangelical Alliance to BE
Adopted Here.
At the next meeting of the board of con-
troll of the Epworth League of the Dis
trict of Columbia active steps, 1t is expect
ed, will be taken to organize here branch
of the movement for good government,
which has been started by the Evangelical
Alliance for the United States, and whose
headquarters are In New York. 1t is un-
derstood to be the intention of the officers
of the league to request the cooperation
Of all the young peoples societies in the
District, especially the Christian Endeavor,
Luther League. Baptist Young People s
Union and all others who sympathtZe with
good government. In conversation with
q Star reporter, one of those who is in
hearty sympathy with the movement said:
III the Indifferent must be educated by
the truth, and are too Indifferent to buy 1t
or go after 1t, they must be reached by
those who are sufficiently interested to
carry it to them. The various young peo-
pies organizations of the United States,
such as the Christian Endeavor societies
and the Epworth Leagues. now include be-
tween 4.OOO.O0O and 100000 members.
Some of these young people are already
doing much, but their, organizations repre-
sent vast power, as yet largely latent,
which can be easily utilized.
OF course the value Of the work will de-
pend on the value of the literature. It is
to be no goody-goody stuff, more likely to
reach the waste basket than the conscience
and heart, but strong, incisive. bright, at
tractiye and thoroughly healthy.
1.-The Evangelical Alliance Is now pre-
pairing such leaflets, under the general
heading of Truths for the Times There
will be series on good citizenship for
foreign Americans, discussing such topics
as the following: 1, The Meaning and

RreEational Club Last Evening".
nh2-Gd

One of the largest and most successful
meetings of the Washington Congregational
Club was held last evening at the First
Congregational Church. 1t was the occa-
sion of the annual gathering of the MEM
bers of that organization, and about $50
persons sat down to supper which was
provided by the Ladies' Aid Society.
After the good things had been enjoyed
the president of the society, Rev. Isaac
Clark, made an address, in which he re-
ferred to the seeming incongruity of a
man presiding at what he called wo-
mans meeting, using this term because of
the arrangement made that all the speak
ers of the evening should be ladies.
He then called on Mrs. j. Ellen Foster,
who delivered an earnest address on the
subject of Woman in the Home" Miss
Elizabeth Warm3n discussed the topic Of
Woman in Christian Endeavor." A hui
morous recitation, which was well rem
dered by Miss Edith Octavia Merrifield,
followed, and then Mrs. X. D. G. Ravens
spoke on woman in Reform" and Mrs.
Anna 8. Hamilton discussed the subject of
Woman in Journalism" During the even
ing music was rendered by a quartet, con-
sisting of Mrs. Elsie Bond Bischoff Miss
Datelle Taylor, Miss Mary E. Pond and
Mrs J. s. Raymond.

elected as follows:

sIzIKG UP THE PLAYERs.

How the Men In the National League
Compare.
A western writer has hit upon new
method Of sizing up the playing ability OF
the men of the different clubs, something
on the order Of the system used In grading
school children. h starts or by making
the standard for pitchers 200 and for the
other players 100, the leading player in
each position being given the tcp figure
and the other eleven man are compared to
hfn-not on the basis that the player Sc
lected is perfect. but on the superstition
that he is the best Of the lot. OF course
many will find fault with the ratings, but
for all that it is q clever compilation. The
standing Of the league players. as well as
managers, follows:

PLAY THAT SAVED BALTIMORE.
The Feature of the Recent Intercity
Whist Match.

The event Of the week in local whist
circles has been the return match of the
mixed pairs of Washington and Baltimore
last Thursday night. Baltimore tried hard
to wrest the laurels from the Washington
club. and, though they succeeded in tying
the score by the brilliant play of Miss
Goldborough on hand five, they were never
able to overcome the lead that Washing
ton got on the first set of boards. The
feature of the game was the beautiful
game put up by Mrs. Leech. Making
plus of for her club against such players
stamps her as one of the soundest think
among the whist players of the coun-
try. Wooten's play was characteristic of
his style, and the round plus of needed
tricks shows that he was in his usual form.

So far as the Carroll Institute bowlers
are concerned the league season of 1S97-9s
is but a memory. They played the final
three of their quo ia of forty-eight games
last night, their opponents being the Co
lumbia Athletic Club. The games were
played at the Institute alleys and the
home team wound UP the season in a blaze
OF glory, capturing the entire series from
the winged arrow towlers.
The CAROLS have done exceedingly well
In The league competition this year, finish
ing dangerously near first place. the Saeng-
ers winning by but small margin. On
their own alleys the CAROLS have been
almost 1nvinclble, defeats there having
been very few and far between. On other
alleys the Institute boys have at times
played brilliantly, notably SO in all of their
games at the Saengerbund. Here they have

close to the top of the heap when the indi-

The opening game was the most exciting,
and the only close game of the series. CO.

the first game than did the CAROLS, and
held the lead by fuctuating margins
throughout the game to the ninth box. The
last inning opened with CAROLS nine

superb. running UP the great string of 100
pins at the windup. passing Columbia, and

Whist Notes.
The congress OF Ehe New Jersey State
Association win be field next Thursday and
Friday evenings and Saturday afternoon
and evening at the Jersey Whist Club,
Jersey City. The admitting Of women
whist players In the pair contests Satur-
day afternoon and evening is a departure
from the method formerly pursued by this
organization. It is well to warn those wo-
men who int end to take a part in these
contests that the laws of. whist as adopted
by the American Whist League will gov
ern the contests, and the penalty for the
infringements OF rules will be enforced.
This Is what should be done in all games
or whist. but Is not always carried out
particularly anicng women minister's
Lieutenant Lowsky Of the British army
Is out with new volume of whist which
treats OF whist up to date. and although
Cavendtsh." Pole. Drayson, Pembridge
and the Westminster papers are quoted
from extensively, he quotes as freely from
Work, Foster, Howell and Baker, putting
before the English whist players the Amer.
lean idea of the game, which will cause q
great revolution in the style of English
play. The English idea, rapidity i'm NAV.
ing, Is refreshing after sitting seven OF
eight hours at contest of forty-eight
boards. The average play of the English
Is six seconds to card, which is a little
too fast for scientific play, though Hen
riques Of New York claims that there is nc
play recurring over fifteen to twenty sec

thought In a different channel, and is be-
Ing already extensively read in America
