Lively Exhibition Put Up in Depart
mental League Series at Ma
tional PARK.

The Printing Office played the Navy
Yard team to a draw at National Park
yesterday. AT the conclusion of the
ninth inning. the score stood 10 to 10.
AS darkness was lowering over the
grounds the game was called.
1t was a pretty exhibition of how the
national sport should be played. The
mechanics. as a general proposition,
could not do anything with Ashley's
benders. Although somewhat worn out
from his tough experience of the prevl-
GUS night, he managed to hold the Navy
men down to few scattered hits until
the latter part of the game, when his
support became faulty.
Buckingham twirled a great game. de-
spite the fact that more hits were Sc
cured off him than of his opponent. He
was not properly supported during the
latter part. but poor support could not

would win the game. and came very near
making seed. Buckingham struck out
busy behind the bat.
Carr played well at third and also
did good work at bat.
Hoffman, who is now playing short, was
kept very busy and managed to accept
all but one OF his many chances. Chism
also did good work at second base. The

Besides the appointment of a receiv-
er. the bill asks that the assignment of
the lease from the Baltimore Baseball
Club to Ban Johnson be declared void.
and that the much-abused Johnson be
required to render an accounting of the
profits on the games received by him.
An injunction is also prayed to pre-
vent the president of the American
League from disposng of the clubs as
sets ana property at the baseball
grounds.
Mr.. Olin Bryan has entered his ap
pearance in the case on behalf of Presi-
dent johnson.
Mr.. Bryan denies the allegations. and
claims that Mr.. Johnson, as president of
the American League. is continually act
ing not only as owner of the Baltimore
Club but of all other clubs of the Ameri
can League.

FENCING EXHIBITION
BY PROF. PAVBSB
Prof. Darieulat Fails to Ap-
pear and IS Challenged.

The exhibition and contests with foils.
sabers and poinards given last night at
Masonic Temple by Prof. Genoroso Payese
and half a dozen of the pupils from
his fencing school in Baltimore was In
every way an interesting affair. Only =
few hundred spectators witnessed the
contests, the character of which de-
served a better attendance.
Challenge to Darieulat.
Prof. Pavese's principal object in Civ
ing the exhibition was to give Prof.
Darieulat. fencing master of the Wash
iagton Fencing Club, and an enthusiast
tic exponent Of the French school, an
opportunity of meeting him in friendly
bout. but he failed to appear. In the
course Of the evening Prof. Paveso
stated from the stage that "he had tried
in every way by letter and newspaper
articles and by verbal messages through
friends TO have Prof. Darieulat meet
him, either for purse or for glory. but
he had failed 10 hear from him. and
that as he had not been accorded the
treatment customary among gentlemen.
that he would challenge him TO a con-
test. either with foils. sabers, or poin-
ards. and II he did not accept that in
then he would conclude that the
CT the French school was
afraid to meet him." His remarks were
greeted with rounds OF applause and
then the exhibition went on.

The Senators will leave for the Wes
pretty safely planted in fifth place.


The injury to Carey's arm is more SER
ious than was at first supposed. One of
Callahan's swift shoots caught him just
above the wrist. and caused him the
most intense pain for some time. When
Callahan saw the Senator grab his arm
and commence to rub Il. he yelled TO
Catcher MacFarland: Throw the ball to
first base" This remark Of Callahan
gave the crowd a good line on the state
of his mind during the game The
chances are that Carey will be out of
the game for several days. Lee or
Keister will probably be sent in to play
first today.
Lee did a nice bit of pitching in
the fourth inning, when Chicago got two
men on the bases, the result of as many
singles. before anybody was out. Clarke
and Lee got their heads together and
pulled of some fine bits of strategy. And
the visitors did not get a run in, not
their splendid start.
Clarke's arm was in rare shape yes
terday. After he had nailed FIVE daring
Chicago runners, they very sensibly
came to the conclusion that 1t was an
utter impossibillty to steal base on
the admiral.
