made to have the sixteenth congress held

POLICE PLAYED FINELY.
Defeated Columbia Railway Team by
the Score of 10 to 0.

The police department base ball team won
a one-sided game yesterday from the CO.
lumbia railway team. the score being 10 to
0. The defeat of the railway team was due
to the excellent pitching of Merrill who
did not allow one hit. and the punching of
hits by the winners in the second and third
innings when they scored five runs in each.
Anderson performed the twirling stunt
for the Columbias and was touched up for
a total of ten hits. of which was a
three-bagger and two two-baggers. Ehlers

Both men started at the top of their

of some most effective rallies, the chief
features Of which being Mr.. Wards re-
markable quality for picking up his op-
ponents terrific drives and his oft sue
cessful employment of very taking drop
stroke, and Mr.. Smiths superb calcuIat-

In the second set the Gloucestershire
man used unerring judgment and great
speed, and took strong lead. He was
quickly five games up. 1t seemed as IL
he were going to inflict love set upon
the American champion, but in the nick
of time Mr. Ward delivered a series of
brilliant serves which gave him love
game. But the American could only Sc
cure two more games ere Mr.. Smith had
placed the second set to his credit
II ne third set was strenuously contested
and after Mr. Smith had lead at five
games to four. Mr.. Ward fully sustained
his great reputation as a hustling oppo-
nent by making the score 6-5 He put in
some very clever drop strokes and re-
peatedly thwarted the Englishman by the
deceptive character of his returns Had
he sustained this form 1t Is probable that
the reverse would have been converted
into brilliant triumph, but from this
point Mr.. Smith, aided by good deal of
luck, once more obtained the upper hand
and soon put an end to the issue by win
ming the third set at Sc. The full score

TENNIS CRACKS ABROAD.
Ward Lost His First Match to r. n.
Smith

There was thunder about in more re-
spects than one at Wimbledon, England,
yesterday. when the British lawn tennis
championship meeting was begun. amid
every sign of lively interest There was
thunder In the atmosphere, which pro-
duced heavy raindrops shortly after six
o'clock, and thunder in the applause
which greeted the victory of S. H Smith
over Holcombe Ward, the American
champion.
The match which produced this result
was rightly regarded as the titbit of the
day. and 1t was not surprising to find that
during its progress nearly every other
court on the ground was deserted Hol-
combe Ward had performed so brilliantly
at the Queens Club last week, when he
defeated Mr.. Ritchee in three-set
match and Mr.. Gore in a fve-set one, that
there were not wanting those prophets
who predicted his capacity to overcome
the well-known driver who at present
holds the South of England champion
ship.
The struggle between these men, how
ever, had not progressed far before 1t
became evident that Mr.. Smith had taken
the fun measure Of his man and did in
deed possess just those qualities capable
not only of multiplying Mr.. Wards attack,
but of scoring brilliant winning shots ali

Cornell and Syracuse.

There is a great amount of rivalry be-
tween Cornell and Syracuse which Is only
natural on account of the peculiar situa-
ton of the two universities. Cornell and
Syracuse are both located up state" as

year Syracuse surprised not only Cornell
but every one, and the followers Of the
Syracusans assert that the same trick
will be turned again this year The betting
seems to favor Cornell slightly, but out
side OF small margin there Is not much
to choose from. Syracuse is working hard
and the stories that have gone forth to the
effect that Packard was not in shape all
