Spectators and Fight Exports Fallto Recognize Decision Declaring
In Favor of New Yorker
Special to The Washington HeraldBaltimore Md Aug 26 Al Schu
macher of Now York and Tommy Loweof Washington D C fought a fifteenround draw tonight before the mem-bers of the Eureka Athletic Club at theGormanla Maonntrchor
At least that is the way it appeared-to Joe Gans who refereed the affairthough many spectators and a number offight exports agreed that the New Yorkerhad the batter of the by hisaggressiveness Lowe was inclined tostall and was repeatedly warned by thereferee to let go whoa ordered to
broakSchumacher got in his most effective
work with short right and left joltsto Lowes jaw and stomach and in thefifteenth after rushing his man all aboutthe ring had Lowe apparently all in buttho boll rang saving him further
Schumachor walked unassisted tohit room but the Washingtonian had torecuperate in Ills corner where his sec-
onds applied restorativesThe fighters agreed to fight straight
rules and this made the only bad featureof the evenings sport for tho men re-peatedly came to a clinch and in theearly rounds especially it resembled awrestling match more than an exhibitionof the manly art of selfdefense
The first few rounds found the menfooling each othor out and light damagewas done but in the fifth round Schumaehar added a few points to his credithaving his man in chancery and punifjhlng him severely with tho free armIn a general mixup a moment before thebell sounded Jx th slipped and foil to thorosin
In the twelfth Lowe came back stronghowever and had the visiting lad goingthe latter being unable to block thevicious blows aimed at his jaw
EEITEBATES STORY
Manager of St Stephens TeamWriter of Protest
Sporting Editor The Waabiactan HeraldSeeing in yesterday mornings edition
of your paper an article by a player ofthe former Aloysius Club in which hestated that an Injustice had donethe Capital City League the AloysluaClub and their followers by an articleappearing in your columns on SeptemberS3 I would like to state that the portionof the above named article which dealtwith the close fight in the Capital CityLeague between the Aloyshis Club andSt Stephens Institute Is correct and ifthe gentleman who answered the articlewould have given a few more facts withregard to the winning of the CapitalCity Leagues pennant of 1807 he wouldhare conclusively shown that the penruutt in that league was given to theAloysius Club by the board of managers of the league behind closed doorand not won on a ball field
He refers to a game In which a boywas hit by a pitched ball which gamehad to be discontinued because of Inter-ference by the police thereby making itImpossible to finish the contest Thatportion of his answer is correct but hedoes not make mention of the game inwhich a St Stephens player was calledout for interference when there was nooccasion for same The following extractfront one of the local papers in reportingthe game will give an explanation ofsame With Morlarity on third andKraft on seeond and one down Hugheshit one to Handiboe at short and wasthrown out
So far so good but ball playing wasdiscontinued from this moment asHughes and Davis the Atoyalus first
collided Hughes made the secondout and Morlarity while endeavoring tocross the pan clashed with Catcher Baggettc and was declared out by UmpireLa Flavor for Interference The ballwent wild and Kraft sauntered in tlolngthe score At this stage of the gamewhich was the fifth Inning the crowdgot beyond control and swamped on the
question Umpire La Flavor got lost intho crowd and half an hour after-ward announced his decision makingAloysius the winner His decision wasnot made on the ball field
The St Stephens management protested the game and the arbitration committee ordered the game to be overThe arbitration committeeby the president and consisted of threedisinterested people who were to decideall protested games The constitution ofthe league provided for the appointment-of such a committee but the board ofmanagers or the league notwithstandingthe decision of the committee which theyhad created through their constitutionpassed a resolution doing away with thatportion of the constitution and passed amotion to the effect that the game shouldstand asplayod and should not be playedover thereby giving the pennant to theAloysius Club
The portion of your article which dealswith the interference by the crowd Iscorrect m every detail Ofttlmes thecrowd would surge inside of the playingfield and make it almost Impossible fora St Stephens fielder to field a ball neartho foul line but It conditions wore reversed and a ball was hit by a St Stephens player the crowd would Immedtatelyseparate and allow the Aloysius player tofield the
Six of Stephens players Joinedthe Trinity club and on a fair fieldwhere the crowd could not interfere withtheir playing defeated tho Aloysius Clubfor the championship of the District

his fortune with those of the adventuressto leave tho house and take their trappings with them Diss De Bar huderected a throne from which to give advice on all subjects mundane and spir-itual to her hearers but this had beenstripped of Its tinsel and was not Im-
posingMrs French said that David the Prophet
tried to convince her that she had beenmisled into thinking ADivaVeedYa wasDies Do Bar but she ordered him awayWhen asked as to her reasons for display-ing the photograph of F A Helnze MrsFrench said
Not Interested-I am but slightly acquainted with Mr
Holnze and he Is in no way interested-in this school I obtained his photographfrom a woman friend and was muchstruck with the strong character asshown in his features In my opinion-
it was an artistic picture that would bean ornament to any drawing room andso I placed it on the piano I regardedtho picture the same as I would that ofany one noted In the world of artfinance or literature I fall to see whymy action in this matter should be thesubject of so much unnecessary gossipand Mrs French looked hurt
Asked as to whether the disclosureswould affect the continuance of the Institute Mrs French replied Indeed noI shall carry It on just the same asthough nothing unpleasant had come upThe next term will begin on September1 and we are now putting the house Incomplete order I shall secure new lec-turers of renown and I hope to spreadthe good tidings of endless existence forthose who will learn the lesson
When an Interviewer first called at theinstitute a maid answered the bell andsaid Mrs French was 111 and could seeno one Tho maid was asked If MrHoinzo had called today and asked
Who Is Mr HeinzeKitty called Mrs French from the
top of the stairway hold no conversa-tion with any one In reference to MrHelnze Then Mrs French camo down-stairs and talked at length
Police SurprisedThe reappearance of Dlss De Bar in
Now York ah Incident not entirely lack-ing in interest for the police was a sur-prise to those who have followed thecareer of the woman who Is now nearlyseventy years of age but claims to haveexisted several hundred years She waslast heard of in April 1807 when sheand Mackay fled from Detroit for rea-sons of their own
Dies Da Bar at the time of her flightfront Detroit was known as Mrs EmilyMason and also as Mother Elinor motherof the Flying Rollers Colony Mrs EdithLolita Jackson and by other names
When Mr Hoinzo was questioned as tohrs interest in the institute and its presi-dent he replied
I met Mrs French in a social waysonic time ago and knew her as a gueststopping at tho hotel Ive boon muchinterested in her and have every reasonto believe that she is perfectly on thelevel in anything she undertakes I be-lieve sho is well off in her own right anddoesnt need to make a living out of anyscheme but I dont know how she gother money or where Bill Robinson cantell you more about the house for ryenever been there
In the LimelightTheyve found my picture over on
piano Bill said Helnze to Williamhis business associate It seems
ss though I cant just keep out of thelimelight Wouldnt it rasp you
Mrs French said she years ago beganthe study of Oriental and Occidentalespecially Oriental religions and philos-ophy Then a great light came to herShe found that by proper faith and prac-tices one can live his proant physicalform forever and over The Bible saysso Mrs French remarked She sent hersister Frances to another room for aBible to prove by Revelations that thereshell be mOCO who shall never die
When Mrs French took up her studiesthat led to her present work she lived InCalifornia Seven years ago she sayshor husband went to Alaska and shenever has heard of him since Sho andher sister came East and taught
religion to private seekers now andthen
