VISITORS OUTFIELDED AND COTBATTED Hits Were Bunched by the Locals When Needed. OTHER LEAGUE GAMES That Washington is a base ball city in the broadest sense of ‘the word was demon- Strated beyond doubt yesterday afternoon at the opening game of the championship Season between the local club and the Phil- adelphias. At 4 o'clock every seat on the grounds was occupied, and when play was called half an hour later the entire field was lined with spectators, 7,100 paid ad- missions having passed through the gates. It is estimated that about 1,000 more were admitted free, As to the game itself. When the last Philly was declared out in the ninth in- ning the joy of the Washington cranks | knew no bounds, for the score stood 4 to 2 in favor of the local team. The Philadel- phia newspaper men and enthusiasts were equally as blue, but that did not dampen the hilarity in the least. Just before Umpire Tim Hurst called “Play ball!” a large floral horseshoe was brought on the field and placed over the home piate. It was for Manager Schmelz, and the applause was immense when that gentleman carried the token to the bench.

Ward went out on a grounder to short stop and the next two men were retired in quick time. Ciphers were in order for both sides until the sixth inning, when Selbach took first base on balls. Ward and Joyce promptly sacriticed, and Selbach scored a moment later as Ab- bey sent a rattling singie between center and right. It was at this point that the rooters howled the hardest. Pandemonium broke loose on all portions of the grounds, and men threw their hats into the air, danced and shouted. In the next inning, however, Philadelphia added interest to the contest by tleing the score on Delehanty’s single and Clements’ triple. The loca] cranks are not selfish, for generous applause greeted the play. Cartwright was the first Senator to face Pitcher Weyhing in the eighth inning, and he tapped the ball with his wagon tongue and had time to reach third base before the sphere was fielded in. ‘Roaring Bill” Has- amaear increased his popularity by sending a single to right field and the big first base- man josged home with the second tally for Washington. ‘The lead was increased by two in the rinth. Capt. Joyce hit the leather squarely and sent it over Weyhing’s head, just too high for the opposing twirler to reach. Abbey reached first on a bunt.

In their half the visitors got another run on Delehanty’s single, two outs and a walk home from third, McGuire deliberately and with good judgment walking back from the plate, in order to give Esper every oppor- tunity to pitch his best. Twice it looked as though Philadelphia would score a number of times. They had men on bases and nobody out, but double plays promptly retired the side and relieved the strain from which the Washington pub- Uc suffered.

Washington's infield was very erratic in its throwing, but the outfield took just the opposite course. Mr, Michael Scanian picked the Wash- ingtons as winners and backed up his opin- ion with good hard cash. The people that were absent from yester- day’s game, those that know anything about base ball, could be counted on one’s fingers. Manager Schmelz’s preparatory drill has been the theme for considerable adverse criticism, but the majority of people pres- ent yesterday demonstrated that they ap- proved of the display of discipline. “Tim” Hurst never umpired a more im- partial game or a more correct one. Base ball players will kick at anything on gen- eral principles, but yesterday's kicks were extremely few and far between. Catcher McGuire's catch that retired the last man in the game was an extraordinary one, requiring lots of nerve and a good eye. Many people missed seeing the play be- cause everybody stood up. ex-Philadelphia d Rogers Charley Esper is an Player, Year before last Reach an offered him $15 a week to remain with their club, being a gentle hint that they didn't want him. It's a diamond ring to a brass collar button that he outpitches any twirler the Phillies has on their list this Season. Other League Games. Boston opened her bail season with a rous- | ing reception to her team from the throats | of 7,000, who assembled in South End grounds yesterday. The errors of the Brooklyns were mostly of a costly nature, while the home team took advantage of every point of the game and batted hard. Umpire “Jim” O'Rourke, an old Boston favorite, had to wait several minutes after the call of time before the crowd would al- low him to keep his hat on his head. Score: Boston, 13; Brooklyn? 2. There never was such excitement and en- thustass in Baltimore over the opening of @ professional base ball season as yester- day. Baltimore defeated New York before 15,300 spectators (Baltimore's high-water mark) by superior play at all points. Bal- timore bunched hits and played without an error. McMahon and Rusie pitched finely. Robinson’s throwing and the batting of Brouthers were the features of the game. Little Murphy acquitted himself like a vet- eran. S@re: Baltimores, 8; New Yorks, 3.

Joyce's only fumble was as good a play as Washington spectators care to see. He showed that he does not play for record. Had he waited for the ball to bound he stood little show of getting the runner at first. By running for it he took the chance of making a beautiful pick-up or being credited with an error. That's ball playing. Of course the ball cranks were delighted, but there would have been no complaint had the Phillies batted out a victory. What Washington people like to see ts earnest ball playing all the time. They have seen too many games lost before they were well started. sf It is fair tu presume that the visitors expected an easy victory. One of the Phillies said to a Star reporter after the game: “You certainly have a great little team here. They surprised us, but, then, we'll attend to them later on. Without intending to disparage the abil- ity of Hasamaear to piay shortstop, it may be said that his height and awkwardness are somewhat against him. He is too much on the Sam Thompson order. The ideal short fielder should be able to get down like lightning and to turn in his tracks without losing his balance. It is the first time in the history of the Washington club that it has had a real first baseman and a genuine third base- man. The outfielders showed that they were in the game by the quick return of the ball as well as by taking care of sky scrapers. Two men were cut off at third base, and there is no telling how many runs were prevented, The Senators showed that they know how to make sacrifice hits, . The floral horseshoe presented to Mana- ger Schmelz prior to the opening of the game came from Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Wade and for once such an offering proved @ good omen. Gus Weyhing pitched a good game under ordinary circumstances and one that will win three times out of four, but yesterday was no ordinary occasion. First Baseman Cartwright had been pick- ed by many followers of the game as the one weak spot in the Washington team. His batting and fielding during the exhibi- tion games were very ordinary, but his playing yesterday marks him as one of the best in the business. His fielding borderad on the phenomenal and at the bat he Proved a treasure. If the weather permits a game this ufter- noon Manager Schmelz will again be the recipient of a valuable token of esteem and appreciation in the shape of a valuable vase filled with cut flowers. The donor is a base bail crank of the first water, a great admirer of “Gus” and a successful real estate dealer. Vice President “Judge” Eiliott of the Washington Club made a wager of a good cigar with “Gus” Weyhing on the train coming to Washington that Tebeau would make a hit off of him. One hit and three strike-outs shows how close he was to losing the cigar. The attendance, 8,100, marks the high- water mark in the history of the national game in this city. Today is “ladies’ day” and a large a tendance of the fair sex is expected. The league base ball season opened at St. Louis yesterday with a game between the Browns and the Pittsburg teams. Although the weather was cold, the prospects of an interesting game brought out between 8,000 and 9,000 people. The heavy batting of the home team was a feature of the game and with the good fielding helped them to win by a mor score. Score: St. Louis, 11; Pitts- burg, 3. ‘The attendances at the opening games in 1893 was 27,690, or an average of 6,922 per game, as follows: At Washington, 3,500; at St. Louis, 12,130; at Cincinnati, 7,060, and at Pittsburg, 5,000.

Mr. George Gould says regarding the pur- chase of the yacht Vigilant: “As to going to England for a race, we are not yet decided, but I certainly will not say that we shall not send her over. We bought her for a racer, and as such will use her.” The Vigilant ts one of the most expensive yachts ever built. The bronze used to con- struct her bottom greatly enhanced her cost. It is said that tt took $48,000 to build her. As In the cases of the Puritan, Mayflower and Volunteer, this successful cup-defender sold for much less than the cost of the materials necessary to build her. The Purt- tan was put up at auction and brought $28,- 000, while she cost about $34,000 to con- struct. The other two were also sold at re- VIOLEN? EXERCE Fat fs a vulgar word.

A Bill Discussed in the New Jersey House. The bill in the Now Jersey legislature making college hazing a crime, and which was defeated two weeks ago, was recon- sidered by the house yesterday and an in- teresting debate followed, Mr. Storrs of Essex, a Yale graduate, spoke vigorously against the bill. He de- clared that it was entirely unnecessary, as the statutes now existing could punish the offending hazers. He read letters from the presidents of Princeton and Rutgers Col- leges. The former thought there was no need of new legislation, and the latter thought such matters could be best set- tied by the faculty of the colleges and a committee of students. Mr. Storrs said that college life was a sort of Microcosmos, a little world within itself. The verdant youth who weat there was sometimes rubbed down with sopho- more polish. He said he was not in favor of painting fellows green, but the raatter could be settled by the present laws. Mr. Lewis held that hazing was not con- fined to colleges alone. Hazing made them better; it made men of them. it was the natural outcome of the laws of nature. Boys could play roughly, but it was po harm to them. Judge Cross opposed the bill on the ground that it would be legislating for a class and this should not be done any more with students than with ciergymen. The bill was lost, twenty-seven members voting in the affirmative to eighteen in the negative. It requires thirty-one votes to pass a bill, ee enneeeeny CAPITOL TOrics.
