Record of the Clubs.

The attraction of base ball and a foot
race at National Park yesterday afternoon
failed to draw more than a handful of spec
tators through the turnstiles. and as a re-
suit the players will have very small sum
of money to divide.
The foot race at 3 o'clock brought out
only fifteen players, Mccain, Kfttridge
Padden and weighing failed to start on &C
count of disabilities The race was run on
the grass, and, of course, fast time was
not expected, although the hundred yards
were covered in about IA seconds. Roy
Evans had the honor of crossing the finish
line first eating Schiebeck- who was sec
ond. by about two yards, the latter head
ing off McManus, who came in third by a
foot. The remainder of the players were
punched crossing the line.
The greatest interest centered In the race
between Barry. the scratch man, and Din
neen. two yards. Leaving Mercer out, these
two men are credited with being the two
fastest on the team, and a close race was
expected. Barry was in good condition, and
Dinneen looked WELL but in the sprint the
big boy was not 'in it, the Senatorial
utility man beating him out by almost two
yards. The surprises were the finish of the
first three men, nobody picking Evans out
a runner. while Scheibeck and McManus
We're not even considered. The running of
this trio was very fast, especially Nc
Manus who is a big fellow and has all the
appearances of being heavy on his feet.
Several of the runners got start on Man
ager TWINS pistol, but taking the perform
ance as a whole it was quite interesting.
The three innings of base ball between
the Regulars and "Yanigans, under the
ruling of running on fly balls, proved to be
an interesting exhibition. as everybody
played good ball. But few chances We're
offered to test the rule as Evans and Nc
Gee proved very effective, and the batsmen
We're playing in luck to hit the ball. In the
three chances offered to test the rule 1t was
demonstrated that good thrOwerS would be
at a premium as a fly hit to the outfield
with q man second would be sure to
score the runner unless the fielder proved to
be a man with good throwing arm.
The days entertainment was brought to
a close with five-inning game between the
Senators and the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing team. With the exception of
Twirler White, the Bureaus seemed to be
frightened out Of their wits, and plays were
made that were ridiculous. With any sort
of good support White may have made the
game interesting. but Lusky couldn't catch
nor throw, and the in and outfield made
mess of everything that came their way.
The Bureaus twirler kept at his work for
the first two innings, but after that the
poor support told on him and he was hit
quite frequently About the only redeem
ing feature of the Bureaus playing were
the triple of Proctor and the double of
Lusky.
The Senators took matters easy. their
only exertions being in the line of base
stealing and bunting the ball. at which
they We're generally successful owing to the
poor work of their opponents. Following

The Eastern High School Eleven
beaten, 35 to O.

The foot ball eleven representing the
Eastern High School went out to Kendall
Green yesterday and then came back again
with the score standing 80 to in favor of
the Gallaudets. The Easterns were merely
pigmies when lined up against the mutes,
the latter generally dashing through the
line and making effective punts whenever
so inclined The best that can be said in
favor Of the Easterns in that they were
plucky enough to stay in the game until
the time limit had expired. Time after time
the youngsters were almost hammered into
the ground. but up they came with true
American grit and took their medicine with
the valor of players embraced in the first
class teams of the country.
On the other side the Gallaudets played
with great confidence, and Of necessity their
winning was made the easier kurath and
Wheeler were especially noticeable for
their work for the mutes. while Bradley
and McCardell did the best playing for
the school boys Following is the lineup:

HEATH ADDRESSES EDITORS
Assistant Postmaster General Defends Phil
ippine Policy.
Declares AguinnIdo Would Have Had
Commission If He Had
Behaved Himself,

Perry S. Heath, first assistant postmaster
Michigan Republican Editorial Association,
which met at Detroit yesterday. His sub
Ject was the general policy of the admin
istration and the obligation resting upon
republican newspapers to defend and sup
port it, He gave an exhaustive review of
the war with Spain and spiritedly defended
the Presidents conduct from the beginning
to the present time.
He said in part:
''Since the great republican victory of
1896 your political opponents have tried
in the nations history. They now declaim
against expansion" or what they term
Imperialism. In some respects the pres
ent crisis may be compared with that
which confronted President Lincoln, the
republican party and the federal army In
the field at the outbreak of our civil war.
There were carperS then, disloyal men in
the north, who would have withdrawn our
forces and capitulated to the rebels. The
conditions which existed them however, diff
fered from these existent at the outbreak
OF the war with Spain. When Fort Sumter
was fired upon there were honest differ
ences of opinion among the people and we'll
defined domestic policies at stake. But
when the Maine was blown up in the har-
Dor of Havana all distinctions of north
and south and east and west We're oblit-
Grated, and a universal cry for retribution
arose from every section Of our country.
Where We're then the anti-imperialists? If
there were any Atkinsons then they sang
exceeding small. 1t was not until our arms
had been triumphantly successful that the
copperheads ventured to come out of their
holes
