Special 10 The Washington Herald.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept u.-Eight thou
sand baseball enthusiasts watched The
first baseball field day ever held under
the auspices Of the national basebaE COM
mission to-day. and from the hug1 sue
cess it attained it looks like i. will be
an annual event
Five contests were down for decision.
and in these the National League and
the Eastern League each furnished two
winners, while the Central League fur
nished the other one. Not one Of the
American League players managed to land
a victory.
The field was not what might be con-
sidered fast. for the heavy rains of yes
terday had not dried out thoroughly, but.
nevertheless good time was made in all
events
The first event down for decision was
the long-distance fungo hitting. The field
had been laid out much on the order
of a gridiron, with the 10-yard lines
marked in two directions. This was done
so that the contests could be held so that
the ball would be thrown or batted
/ across the wind, and not with or against
il.
The Cincinnati rooters had their first
and only chance to cheer when Mike
Mitchell, the big outielder, won the long
distance fungo-hitting contest.
In the catchers' contest the catcher was
required to throw at target about the
size of second base and about fifteen
| inches from the ground. Gibson. Of Pitts
burg. on his second trial. hit the target
about four inches from center, though

FISH RESOLUTIONS BLOCKED.
Harahan's Reply at Illinois Central
Meeting Unsatisfaetory.


New York, Sept u.-At the meeting OF
the directors of the Illinois Central to-
day, President Harahan answered in per-
son the charges against the Hartman
management of the road, which were con-
tained IN the resolutions of Stuyvesant
Fish. the deposed president. presented 70
the directors meeting two weeks ago,
when Mr.. Fish got so incensed at the
summary adjournment OF the meeting
while he was reading the resolutions, that
he knocked Mr.. Harahan down.
The resolutions were presented again
at the meeting the following week, and
passed in a slightly modified form,
Though the text OF the answer presented
by Mr. Harahan was not made public,
tory TO Mr.. Fish as the answer 10
charges OF a slightly different character,
which he made at a meeting on July
"a. when a committee composed entirely
of Hartman men, was appointed to con-
slider his resolutions. No report has ever
been made. and il only developed yester-
day that these preliminary charges were
made.
That is the reason that Mr.. Fish has
been so persistent since then. However,
it is stated officially after tO-day's meet
ing that everything passed of smoothly
The only incident out OF the way was the
serving of a subpoena, when the meeting
closed at o'clock after a session Of two
and half hours, on President Harahan
on behalf of DR.. Lestrange, who had a
claim for services amounting 10 $50.
