Amateur Base Ball.

The Radford base ball grounds furnished
yesterday what will probably be considered
one OF the best amateur games of base ball
OF the present season. The opposing teams
were those of the Radford and CAPITAL Ath-
leuc Club, these teams meeting for the first
time this season. the latter winning by G

SIXTH MARYLAND DISTRICT.
No Friction in the Republican Party
There.

In regard to an alleged conference of
members Of the justice party and anti
Pearre republicans in the sixth Maryland
district and the agreement upon Rev lion
ry Newman as their candidate a we'll
known Maryland republican of the sixth
district to an Evening Star reporter today
said:
Il notice with interest that the Justice
party will unite with the anti-Pearre'
men, and that these two parties have
agreed II support Mr.. Newman for Com
gress. Newman is described as pastor Of a
Baptist church at Linden, which he HIM
self built, and president of a large coll
ored republican club. Unless his political
and religious labors have encroached so
largely upon his time to restrict the
scope of his activity, Mr.. Newman is still
engaged in a business which is neither DO
litical nor religious.
Seriously speaking, there is no anti
Pearre party and Justice party in
Maryland. The few political fakirs in
Washington who, from year to year, con-
Jure up these evanescent organizations for
purposes well known to all who take an
interest in politics in that state have not
the slightest influence with the Maryland
voters. We have in both the fifth and
sixth congressional districts many educat-
ed and intelligent colored men who take
an active part in politics and are thorough
ly informed as to political conditions. You
never hear of any of these men being con-
nected with these fake parties. They are
entirely competent to lead their own peo-
pie and are quickest to estimate at their
true value these foreign hold up political
movements, and TO repudate them. They
do not need political instruction or direc-
ton from the outside. Col. Pearre has
given such satisfaction to the people of
the sixth district that no question is raised
even by the most hopeful and enthusiastic
of democrats to his reelection In fact,
the nomination against him is going a
begging Mr. Mudd's reelection in the
fifth district is equally assured. The fac
tional discussion to the federal Offices
in which he recently involved, Will
have no effect upon the result. Senator
McComas' friends in the fifth district are
loyal republicans, and do not carry party
differences beyond the primaries. They
will accord Mr.. Mudd the most loyal SUD-
port in the approaching campaign"

SARATOGA RACES.
Favorites in Bad Luck and Mile Rec
ord Again Broken.

1t was a dreary day at the Saratoga track
for the favorites yesterday, but for every
body else it was a day of matchless SUM-
shine and exhilarating breezes.
F. Ambrose Clark's Rowdy, who won the
steeplechase for gentlemen riders, was the
only favorite that really won, though Flirti-
neer got the decision in the apprentice race
by reason of the disqualification of San An
dres. The steeplechase had four starters,
and was full of incident and accident. The
second time around Tankard and Victor fell
at the Liverpool, and Mr.. Harris, who fol-
lows the hounds with the Geneseo Hunt
Club, came a bad cropper and broke his
cellar bone. Mr.. Megargee piuckily hung
OF to Victor, and remounted him and fin
ished for third money Rowdy and Closher
fought out the battle between them, and
though the future stepson of Bishop Potter
won the race 1t was only by half length
and after hard drive
A L. Astes good two-year- old, Platter
whom he bought some time ago from
Dave Gideon, romped away from the big
field In the Troy selling stake. The ridicu-
lousy long odds Of 10 and 20 to / were
laid against him for some unknown reason
Platter ran Minotaur off his feet in the first
two furlengs, taking 1t out of the Farrell
horse SO badly that he finished eighth, and
then came away and won by two lengths
before Grey Friar. River Pirate, the even
money favorite, ran a fair race, but was
not
w. c. Whitney's Girdle, the filly on which
Burns did the foul riding in the Saratoga
Special, ran away from the maidens against
her in the first race, and won as she liked
by two lengths. The apprentices had a
grand scramble in the fourth race and
though San Andres won, she carried Flirti-
neer wide at the head of the stretch that
she was justly disqualified.
The mile record of 1.3S 3-5 made Tuesday
by Runnels, died an untimely death in the
last race Of the day, In which Douro who
ran third in the annual championship of
two years ago, trailed after Port Royal and
Lux Casta to the last furlong pole, and
then came on. and beat them both in light

ST. ELIZABETH WON.
Adams Express Company Team De-
feated by Good Base Running.

st. Elizabeth Base Ball Club played it's
first game with the team representing Ad
ans Express Company yesterday the
hospital grounds, which resulted in a vic
tory for st. Elizabeth. The hospital boys
got in their good work in the line of base
running in the third inning by base steal
ing and fast sprinting, and seven runs came
in. In the next inning the visitors put
Keefe in the box, but the home team found
the leather frequently and landed five hits.
In the seventh inning the home team al
lowed three runs to come in by errors. c.
Wahler's good work and the base running
by the hospital boys were the only features
of the game. Following Is the score:

NOTHING NEW TODAY.
Commissionership Unsettled and Cam
didates Without Information.

So far as could be learned locally there
Is nothing new today in regard to the Dis
trict commissionership. Candidates and
others are anxiously awaiting news from
Oyster Bay, and until word comes from
that source nothing definite can be heard on
the subject.
Mr.. w. Nick. Clayton has announced his
retirement from the race and has requested
his friends to throw their support to Mr.
Cox in favor of whose candidacy Mr. Clay
ton has declared himself. Mr.. Clayton was
very widely supported for the position and
his friends insisted in working in his be-
half despite the fact that he stated he was
a supporter of Mr.. Cox. Mr.. Clayton IS
president Of the Brightwood Park Citizens
Association and has long been prominent in
democratic affairs in the District. His in
dcrsement for the commissionership came
from all classes of citizens.
