WAS A BASE BALL ENTHUSIAST.
e. o. Leech Raised a Nine to Play the
Red Stockings.

Red Stockings.
The recent death of Edward o. Leech,
vice president of the Second National
Bank. and previously director Of the mint,
led Paul Hines, the ex-ball player, to re-
late an interesting story. Thirty-one years
ago Leech was employed in the Treasury
Department in Washington and was a
great base ball enthusiast He organized
club, of which he was manager, captain
and pitcher. Hines was his catcher The
team was strong for an amateur aggrega-
ton and easily defeated all the clubs in
and around Washington. That year 1899
the famous Cincinnati Red Stockings came
east on a tour and Leech secured them to
play his nine. For week prior to the
contest Leech had his men in training and
was hopeful of winning from the WESTERN
ers: The Reds. the most celebrated ball
club of the time, were considered almost
invincible, but Leech had hopes.
The Reds roster was as follows: Asa
Branerd. pitcher; Doug Allison. catcher:
Gould, first base; Sweeney, second base;
George Wright, shortstop; Waterman.
third base; Andy Leonard left field; Harry
field. and Hurley, substitute. Each one of
the above left his impress more or less on
the pages of base ball history. The ma
jority are dead. Doug Allison, now an old
man, holds position under the govern
ment in this city, as also does Paul Hines.

was considered the sporting event Of the
season; Capt Leech appeared on the
grounds, Juggling a basket filled with
lemons. which he distributed among his
players for ''invigorating purposes so he
said. But the lemons did no good. The
Red Socks made runaway game of it and
won by an enormous margin. Leech took
the defeat much to heart, but did not quit
the sport, as he was instrumental in or
ganizing and maintaining clubs in Wash
ington in 1870 and II. He was always
loyal to the national pastime and never
forgot his old base ball companions after
business circles. He always helped them

One of the most disappointing games of

being charged against them, and it requir-
ed wide range of Imagination for the
scorers to keep the errors within those linn

lads played good ball from the start. The
collegians had been led to believe that a
strong proposition would be forthcoming
when the Y. NJ c. A. faced them and for
this reason put forward their best efforts.
As a result the collegians made a runaway
race of it and won out in the easiest sort
of fashion.

To Bowl on Local Ties.

The tangle in the District Bowling League
was unsnarled to a great extent at a meet
ing of its officers Friday night at the Saen-
gerbund clubhouse. 1t was decided that
the three clubs tied for the championship
should bowl off at the Business Mems al
leys in South Washington, the games be-
ing played on May 8, II and 15 The first
match will be between the Carroll Institute
and Saengerbund: the second between the
Saengerbund and Y. M. c. A, and the
third between Y. NJ. c. A and Carroll In
stitute. In order that a decision would
surely be reached the team making the
greatest number of pins in it's six games
will be declared winner and awarded the
league cup and also temporary possession
of the handsome trophy presented by the
Business Mems team. Messrs. Storey and
Kidd were appointed umpires for the three
matches, and Messrs. Rodrick and Schaeffer
Will be official scorers. Since there are sew
eral players tied for the prize to be awarded
for the greatest number of strikes, and
German of Carroll Institute and Miller of
Business Mems Bowling Club being tied for
second highest game, a series of three
games to decide those ties will be bowled
by the players concerned at the Y. NJ. C. A.
on May 10. For this match Mr.. Davenport
will be official scorer.

EtheIbert Wins the Metropolitan.
Infant Abandoned,

A colored woman, whose name is yet I'M
known. yesterday afternoon abandoned a
fully developed child on a vacant lot at
the corner of 10Th and Binney streets, Mt
Pleasant. The baby was a boy, and was
found lying in the grass without covering.
Police ofncer Henry Ehler. when patrol
ing his beat, was approached by a colored
man, who stated the facts. The officer inn
mediately investigated the matter and a
patrol wagon carried the child to Freed
mans Hospital, where 1t was discovered
that its life was extinct. The negro stated
that his name was George Hill and gave
description of the woman. The theory held
by the police is that the woman placed the
dead child there with the purpose of aban-
doning ii and escaping the small necessary
expenses which burial would incur.

BOWLING.
The Local Team Defeats the Balti-
more Experts.

The Baltimore Catholic Club bowling
team, the strong bowlers who defeated the
Washington bowling team three straight
games in Baltimore a week ago, came over
TO Washington Saturday night for the re-
turn match The local team had sweet re-
venge, capturing each event, but the glory
of winning was an absent quantity, all of
the games falling below the standard set
for the Washingtons. and one victory, at
least, being attributable to sheer luck. The
Catholic Club showed a decided reversal Of
FORM every man doing poorly throughout
the match, and each of their team totals
having forlorn appearance. For one
thing, the games abounded in splits-more
than twice as many appearing than the
average game produces. In one frame
every one of the Baltimores were split and
they were wide apart impossible ones at
that This naturally furnished opportuni-
ties for fine work, but in the second and
third events the visiting players threw
away many chances. repeatedly missing
easy spares.
The match was bowled at the Saenger-
pund, and the Washingtons were to con-
siderable extent unused to the alleys, so
that the Baltimoreans did not have the
nandlcap which was imposed on the Wash
ihgtons when they met the Catholics on

Harlow bowled in steady form for the

passed by Spiess, who bowled two games

played poorly.
The match results in tie, and the teams
