LOCAL HOPES OF INFIELDER NICHOLSON Clubs That Are Likely to Open the Season Together. TALK AS TO UMPIRES 1 Three contracts were lying upon Pres- ident Young's writing tahle when a Star representative called at léague headquar- ters yesterday. The oné mést interesting to Washingtonians was that gf Nicholson, the promising young second baseman, whom so many cther league clubs were after. Nich- olson has signed a Washington contract, with the intention of shutting out both Jack Crcoks and Klusmay, who are also aspirants for second base Honors, under the direction of Gus Schmelz. Last season the Washingtons were weak in that position, and Ward, Radford and Hassamaear were tried alternately, without’ success. Jack Crooks was once a “star” infielder, and there may be some sparkling work in him yet. Klusman has a great reputation in the west, and he will have no trouble in get- ting an assignment if he shouid fail to show up well in the form expected of him. Nicholson is said to be one of the coming infielders of the base ball world, and the y ment is shaking hands Washington manag: h itself upon its good fortune in secur- ing him.

C., the New York team in Nev" Orleans, the Baltimores at Macon, Ga., the Chicagos at Galveston, Texas, the Philadelphias at Charlotte, Va., the Brook- lyns in South Carolina, and the St. Louis Browns at Hot Springs. Every league club except the Clevelands has made some ar- rangements for a southern training trip. Addison C. Gumbert has signed as pitch- er with the Pittsburg club. President Young’s report, showing that he led the Pittsburg pitchers last year, had much to do with his being signed. William Barnie, who was recently rein- stated by the national board, has signed a contract to manage the Scranton club of the Eastern League.

CARROLLS WON TWO. Result of the Bowling at the Institute Last Night. The bowling match on the alleys of the Carroll Institute last night resulted in two victories for the home team over the-C. A. ©. team. In the series there was only one gocd game bowled, that being the last one, by the Carrolis, which was of the “star” order. All of the other team scores were just above the “yallow” mark, although the first and second games were close and exciting enough. Birney Locraft did the superior work of tle evening. He bowled down the greatest number of pins—513, highest individual ren, team. His games were of each other.

The track was again in a terrible condition and the races were run over the shute. There was a large crowd present, and as two favorites and three second’ choices won the talent had the better of the argu- ment with the bookies.

To the Editor of The Evening S There having been of late several deat from the inhalation of illuminating am reminded of an incident that occurred some years ago wherein our il countryman, Mr. Henry Clay, came near losing his life from the same cause. At one time Mr, Clay was invited by the citi- zens of Philadelphia to visit their city. This invitation he accepted, and went there, taking with him only his private servant, a colored man. He was the guest of the mayor, Col, John Swift, an old personal friend, then living on South 10th street. Mr, Clay retired for the night, being waited upon by his servant. The next. morning Col. Swift went to Mr. Clay's room to awaken him. The door not being fastened, he opened it, and to his great horror found re CATS To begin with, Quaker Oats ! then. —— —— —— Sold only in 2 Ib. Packages. The the chamber filled with gas. In his alarm he called out, loudly: “Mr. Clay, Mr. v, how are you?” Mr. Clay, who was awake, responded: “Never felt better in my life, old fella all night.” “Thank heaven,” s Col. Swift, “but you came r being a dead man.” Mr. Clay’s life saved by being surrounded with bed ihen the style, which his faithful man hh carefully tucked in around him and then blew out the gas. ‘national Emblem The Holly a To the Editor ef The E Will you yield space cclumns for the ins nin, in tion of a sugge your from a “Washington octogenarian” has read your paper from its first and docs not feel her ev complete un- less she has looked through The any one ever s $a suitable mblem? pled the the shamrock, and Low limited.
