The habit of borrowing is as general as
it is pernicious and one of ifs most aggra-
waiting manifestations is the borrowing of
newspapers. Publishers are deprived of
revenue and also of ere lit tor large per-
centage of their circulation. Snpposing
the publisher sends ont 5000 copies OF his
psper weekly; he gets circulation rating
Of 5000 only. The paper goes into 5000
families where subscriptions are paid and
possibly into 5000 other famile, where it is
borrowed and no subscriptions are paid.

to bring these boys and their employers to

CIRCUIT MEETING ABANDONED.
No More Bicycle Races Here This
Year.

The grand circuit races Of the National
Cycling Association will not reach Wash
ington this fall, as expected. There
will be no more bicycle race meets here
this year. Several weeks ago it was pre-
dcted that there would be no more weekly
race meets held, and that the season would
close with the grand circuit dates, but
even now these have been Cancelled, and
there will be more races of any sort.
There were to be two circuit meets in
this city. One was to be held Thursday
afternoon and the other was scheduled Tor
October IA. These dates were given this
city by the chairman of the board of con-
troll at New York, when the schedule for
the circuit was made out, about three
months ago. The circuit has been faith
fully followed ever since its announce
ment, and from time to time new dates
for additional cities have been added. The
failure of the Washington events TO come
off mark the only break in the original
schedule.
Cycle racing in the city for the past two
wears has been fostered by Mr.. ]. d. Las
lev and when he retired from the bicycle
business and established office in
other line of business in Baltimore interest
in local racing has waned. 1t was his in
tention to hold the circuit meets this fall,
but he has been unable to give any time TO
the matter. There was no one found VINO
was willing to run the meets so they were
dropped.
On account of the lack of time 1t is i'm
possthas to arrange for the meet which

The Washington and Cincinnati clubs
played a lstless game at National Park
yesterday afternoon before a small attend
ance the contest being called at the end
of the eighth inning with the score a tie,
3 to 5. Billy Dineen did the twirling for
the Senators. and his work with men on
bases. simply superb. Billy had speed
to burn yesterday, and, with the exception
of Algie Mcbride, there was considerable
guesswork about the Reds locating the ball.
The ex-Washington boy found Dineen for
three singles and led both clubs at the bat.
Seven of the visiting batsmen famed the
air. Beckley and Hahn doing the trick
twice. Noodles Hahn was on the rubber
for the Cincinnatis, and his chief source of
strength was the fact that he is left
handler. No matter what sort of q ball the
twirler may have. just let him deliver it
from the south side. and he is bound to be
effective against the Senators. Hahn had
the locals guessing throughout the game,
five of them tanning the wind, Dineen, VINO
located two singles, doing the heaviest bat
ting The visiting pitcher had only ordi-
nary support, Beckley and Elberfeld slip
ping up easy chances, while Hahn him
self got into the misplay column with a
wild throw.
Luck seemed to be with the Senators
throughout the contest. Balls hit with
speed that insured runs coming over the
plate We're driven directly at the Senators,
while the hits of the locals were for the
most part fiukey. McPhee in the seventh,
hit line drive right into Barrys hands
that would have won the game. In the
eighth, Corcoran, who was substituted for
Hahn, drove beauty into right, the ball
taking one bound and just missed going
into the bleachers by a few inches. There
were two out when Corcoran's hit was
made, and the third man retired before
the runner could reach home. Time after
time the visitors would get runners on the
bags but the three bands would be re-
tired before a rum could be chased over the
plate. Just how effective Dineen was can
be seen in the summary, eleven Reds dying
on the bases. s,lt
For some unknown reason probably the
McGovern-Pa,ner fight in New York;. the
regular umpires failed3to put in an appear
ance at the park and Gus weighing and
Jack Taylor were selected as umpires. To
their credit it must be said that both tried
to be impartial and for the most part sue
ceeded. On strikes and balls the pitchers
of both sides We're treated fairly.

1t was definitely settled this morning that

posed. y special committee from the Bust
ness Mems League will be present in the
interest of street improvements.
Mayor Simpson will lay communication
before the council in regard to the gravel
used on certain streets by the ceuncil street

will be that the mayor has received positive
assurance from reputable parties that gray

games will be played at Athletic Park. In
the east we will be located at Philadelphia
New York Baltimore and Washington. We
have got good people interested at New
York and Philadelphia, and at Baltimore
McGraw and Robinson will be in charge,
while Mike Seaman, the veteran, will be
at the head in Washington. In the west
have st. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City,
choose from. Picking four of these cities,
besides those four in the east, we are bound
to select a winning circuit. There is abso-
lutely no chance to parallel our case with
that of the Brotherhood. In the case of

Harris, both colored of A h alley, were
today convicted before Judge Kimhall of
disorderly conduct. The man was fined
$50 and the woman SO. Neither paid, and
they went down for sixty and thirty days

During the trial the evidence developed
that Sunday evening last Harris struck

The Senators and Reds play double-head-
ers today and tomorrow.
Evans and McGee will probably take
their first turns IN today's games.
Frank Scheibeck arrived in Washington
yesterday and will make his re-entrance
as Senator today. Frank always was a
nice fielder, but weak at the bat, the latter
defect having been overcome.
Dick Padden's hand has healed up nicely,
and he will resume his position at second
today. Dick has been sorely missed.
Without exception; g1e Senators head the
list as stupid base runners. 1t may be the
result of a defective hit-and-run system.
but whatever it is, 1t should be cut out.
Here's a rehash Of one inning yesterday:
Freeman reaches first on an error, tries to
steal second andnis retired. Stafford fol-
lows with beauty over second, tries to
steal second and is retired. Barry goes
out on long fly; three out, no runs. Had
either freeman or Stafford played safe the
game would have been won.
Another new man, a catcher by the name
of McManus. late of the Allentown club.
will reach Washington today and probably
catch the second game. McManuS will
make four new players seen in Senatorial
uniforms today.
Tommy Corcoran, the star Shortstop of
the Cincinnati club is out of the game for
a few days with an acute attack of Char
ley-horse." Corcoran is one of the most
popular players in the country, being
gentlemanly fellow both on and off the
field.
Manager Irwin has made the remark that
1t does not make any difference in playing
the game whether the Senators go to the
bat first or last. If this be the case, why
