HEARTILY ANTI-DOG.
Plea for Rigid Enforcement of the

Muzzle Order.
referring to the three children bitten
tuesday last by supposed mad dog. Mr..
J. J. Connolly of Sd and P streets, has writ
ten Commissioner Wight to the effect that
to his own knowledge two other children
were bitten by dog within the past week
and severely injured.
THE victims in this instance" states Mr.
Connolly. "are now at the Pasteur Hospi-
tai In Baltimore, undergoing most painful
treatment, at great expense, which their
parents can i'll afford. The suffering of
these little ones, four and five years of age,
respectively. the anxiety of their parents,
not to mention the expense, is sufficient ar
gument that the law be most rigidly and
strictly enforced as to the licensing of dogs,
their muzzling and impounding.
The pleasure which the 1000 advocates
OF liberal dog law derive from keeping
dogs could In no way atone for the misery,
damage and pain that only two dogs have
caused. The majority of them would be
as afraid of a dog as is any one else, while
In every case the dog which does the dam
age is known as tramp. That is very
natural. because who wants to own a mad
dog? Who desires the responsibility?

ANOTHER GAME FOR GEORGETOWN.
Cornell Was Beaten Yesterday After
noon by II to 4.

noon ny II ~ y.
GEORGETOWN scored an easy victory over
Cornell yesterday on the Georgetown cam
pus. winning by IA to 4. On account of
the visitors wish to catch an early train
out of the city only six innings were played.
Quite a gOod-sized gathering was on hand
to cheer OIL the players the yells and songs
OF both colleges Frightening things up con-
siderably.
For a team that has had the guiding
hand of Hugh Jennings for the past month
Cornell gave an exhibition that was de-
plorable. In running bases and covering
the different sacks for throws from the
catcher the team showed q wocfu lack of
team work. and reminded the onlooker of
club that had not had the tutelage of such
a roted player.
AS an example, Brown drove a beautiful
double to right field. with two men on first
and second bases. The man at second
reached home all right, but the other turned
third when the ball was in the infieid and
was easily run down. The coachcr at third
did nothing to help out his companion, and
ii good winning streak was nipped in the
bud. On top of this weakness on the bases
came a wonderful play by Left Fielder
Walsh A long fly was knocked into his
territory. close to the foul line. After
hard run Walsh got under the ball and
made Il beautiful catch. A Cornell man was
on third and started home the instant the
sphere struck the fielder's glove. Without
hesitating a second Walsh cut loose with
the ball for the home plate, and as clean
a whistle it landed in Cranston's glove
and the runner was nailed about a yard
from the plate. Had the ball veered a foot
either side of Catcher Cranston the run
ner would have scored before the former
could have recovered. The play might be
classed as lucky for Georgetown but for
the fact that Walsh is credited with making
several throws of like accuracy and he de-
serves the greatest of praise. 1t was sew
eral minutes before the cheering and hand
clapping subsidized
Twirier White began the pitching as
sort of try-out. and then made way for
Golden. The latter got poor start and
the visitors quickly piled up three runs
Biuett was called in from right to relieve
Golden and ciphers for the final two innings
followed.
Individually the Cornell boys put up a
good fielding game, but were lamentably
weak at the bat. Costello, on first, handled
himself we'll and has the carmarks of a
ccmer.
The Georgetown boys all did well. Smith
Is a little slow around third but the posi-
ton is new to him and he will improve
He is quick on bunt hits, his recovery and
throwing being particularly sharp and ac-
curate

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HAGERSTOWN. Md. April 5. 1900.
The Maryland senate in it's closing hours
before adjournment passed resolution di-
recting the board of public works. after
consultation with the attorney general. to
take such steps as it may deem necessary
to bring about the sale Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal under Judge Alvey's de-
cree. Senator Belts alone voted against
the resolution. In 1891 Judge Alvey signed
decree for the sale of the canal. That
time was further extended by Judge Stake
until May, 1901 The board of public
works is directed by this joint resolution to
resist further extension. A sale under this
decree would give complete title to the
property and the purchaser would gain
possession.
