SENATORS BEGAN THE SEASON WELL St. Louis the Only Other Club to Win at Home. CHAMPIONS WERE BEATEN It was what might properly be described as an ideal exhibition of the national game, that which the largest assemblage ever in attendance at a base ball game in Washing- ton witnessed yesterday afterncon at Na- tional Park. That is, ideal from the stand- point of the spectator who paid the admis- sion fee to be entertained; there was suffi- cient hard, clean hitting to satisfy those hungering for that class of stimulant; there were no flagrant misplays; the score was such during the greater portion of the contest as to render the result doubtful, and, withal, the erstwhile Giants were laid low, and the Washington club began the championship race of 1896 with a creditable victory. For a losing town, as has go often been sald, Washington certainly far out-dis- tances the other eleven cities of the league circuit in base ball insanity. Even the most senile of the “oldest inhabitants” in the press box yesterday afternoon could not fall back on the time-worn expression: “Why, back in 188—, at the opening of the season, the game couldn't be played on ac- count of the crowd,” but reluctantly ad- mitted that the record for Washington had been fractured. Long before the players returned to the park from the street pa- rade several thousand persons had passed through the gates. At a quarter before 4 o'clock the new twenty-five-cent bleachers, extending into deep ‘right field, were crowded with a perspiring mass of hu- manity, and fifteen minutes later the only vacant seats to be seen were in the eastern corner of the new fifty-cent seats, in the rear of first base. When the umpire, Tim Hurst, called play at 4:30 o'clock, on every available spot, in the Inclosure some one was seated, the high board backing of the bieachers being pressed into service. In the grand stand were a large number of ladies, and many of them were forced to stand. An over- flow of men and boys encroached on left field, and a delay of five minutes was oc- James Rogers. casioned in herding them behind the lines. On house-tops, chimneys, and perched in trees for hundreds of feet in all directions Were spectators who preferred their re- spective points of vantage to seats within the park, especially as the former were by far the cheaper. The “jury box,” just over the fence in the Freedmen’s Hospital grounds, held its customary silent panel. The players alighted at the park, and the band began its concert shortly before 4 o'clock, and the New Yorks took the field for fifteen minutes’ practice. The Giants showed up particularly well in the prelimi- nary, and no fault could be found with the way they handled the ball and themselves. At the sound of the gong—which was some- what ridiculous after several months of inaction—the visitors gave way to the Washington players, and a mighty cheer went up as the locals, clad in immaculate white uniforms, with black trimmings, trotted out. That the home team is not a novice at the game was clearly demon- strated within a few minutes, and the spectators realized the fact and bestowed generous applause for all good work. During the practice Win Mercer and Dad Clarke stood side by side for several min- utes trying to drive the sphere through their respective catchers, and the opportu- nity was an excellent one to compare the opposing twirlers. ee Washington Went to Bat. Finally the game began, with Washing- ton at the bat. At the conclusion of nine full innings the locals had scored six runs to three by the visitors. A number of ex- pert plays marked the game, but Charley Abbey, in right field, had done the bulk of the work, accepting nine chances, with a record of 100 per cent, one of them a circus catch. It was the old Charley Abbey, he of 1894, and his work yesterday established him firmly in the affections of the public. The first three men up for each side in the first were easily disposed of. After the Giants’ short stop had flied to Abbey in the second inning Van Haltren broke the ice with a two-bagger to right center. In attempting to steal third a mo- ment later he collided with Joyce, which resulted in the ball, thrown by MeGuire, continuing out on a visit to Selbach, Van crossing the plate with the initial run.

Brown forwarded a sort of hot tamale to Gleason, which evidently burned the kid, and he al lowed the center and right fielders to have @ bite. Gleason then declined to accept a favor from Joyce, and the bases were filled and nobody out. Dad Clarke made a wild pitch, and while Eugene De Montreville. Zearfoss had a race with the Spalding, Mercer snd Brown-scored. Abbey went out on an inffeld play, but Selbach was hit by the balk When Cartwright singled to cen- ter Joyce scored and Selbach reached third by a mighty slide. By the act he sustained an elongated rent in his knickerbockers, and Selbach retired to the dressing roo On McGuire's sacrifice Mercer, who su ceeded Selbach, scored, and Cartwright did likewise a moment later, when a hit by Rogers was poorly handled. Five runs. In the sixth Mercer whacked at the ball, and when the fog cleared away Win was breathing hard at third. He scored on a fly out to right by Joyce. In their half New York secured two hits, but all semblance of runs was disseminated promptly by the Washington players. The Giant Rally. Everbody on the bleachers arose in the seventh and stretched for good luck, but it all went to the Glants. After Van Haltren had filed out, Harry Davis made a three- base hit to right center. He tallied when Stafford hit to Joyce, and the latter made a high throw to first. Clarke hit to left and Zearfoss did likewise, and Stafford touched the rubber with the final run of the game. In the eighth Rogers made a single and so did Tiernan. It was in this inning that Abbey executed his P. T. Barnum catch of Van Haltren's hign fly. There was also some sharp fielding by Washington in the eighth, but the ninth was in no wise star- uing, and the thousands departed apparent- ly thoroughly satisfied with the local club and the game.

Henry Chadwick, the dean of base ball journalists, who published “guides” of the game long before many league players were born, will return to the city tomor- row, in company with the veteran, George Wright, and will witness tomorrow's game with the New Yorks. In a letter {rom Cin- cinnati, written yesterday, he says: “I have seen a great deal of base ball enthusiasm exhibited in our large cities, east and west, in my time, but I have never seen anything to equal the enthusiasm at- tendant upon the opening day’s game be- tween those old rivals, the Cincinnatis and Pittsburgs, which is being exhibited here today. In the first place, the weather is all that could have been desired; secondly, Business Manager Bancroft has “billed the town,” as theatrical people say, in the highest style of the art. Yesterday three hours after the box tickets were at com- mand not a reserved seat could be had. There will be an immense crowd, beyond doubt. George Wright is here, just from Rockford, and is the recipient of great at- tention. He will accompany me to Was! ington tomorrow to see his old National friends.” Congressmen at the Game. Among the spectators at National Park yesterday were Attorney General Harmon, Secretary Smith, Senators Lodge, Dubois, Gorman, Allen and Roach, Rep=esentatives Lorimer, Belknap, Woodman, Bennett, Ellis, McCall, Fairchild, Wadsworth, Walsh, Fish- er, Dolliver, Lester, Bowers, Hardy, Surgeon Wyman, Superintendent Kimball of the life- saving ‘service. A congressional reporter says he counted nearly fifty members of Congress in the grand stand.

BICYCLE ‘DON'T KNOW.” A Horseman Who Has a Poor Opinion of Wheelmen, Some time ago the Rider and Driver published under the heading “Bicyclists Don't Know” the following communica- tion, which will be read with a good deal of interest and perhaps indignation by Washington whcelinen, many of whom have been and are still enthusiastic horse- men: ‘Fo the Editor of the Rider and Driver. If you will entertain a modest suggestion on the bicycle-horse controversy, it would be that you ignore the subject of the bicycle altogether, Its adherents are ever ready to engage in such discussions, for what great- er compliment could be paid to a bicycle rider than that of comparing him to a horseman? No one denies that the bicycle is a blessing to those who have‘nelther the time nor opportunity for other forms of exercise. That they must ride a wheel is their misfortune and not their fault. Now, any man with time and means to keep a horse and who rides a wheel does so for one of two reasons—and I admit of no excep- tions; either he knows that on a horse he would make an exhibition of himself, or else he is actually afraid. “But,” you will say, “no one but an arrant coward would fear to ride a quiet horse.” True, but there are more “men” answering to that descrip- tion than one would suspect, but the most Tarrow-chested counter jumper, as well as the most hysterical woman, can ride a wheel. My bicycling friends will pardon me for being brutally frank. Any fool can ride a wheel in a week's time—most people in less. One can only begin to ride a horse properly in six months of daily practice. It takes considerably less knowledge of the subject to buy a wheel than it does to order a pair of riding boots. How !ong would it take a man to feel sure that he is compe- tent to buy a horse intelligently? As well ask an organ grinder how long it would take him to master the piano. So why trouble to argue with them? They don’t know. They never held a pulling four-year-old over a field of grass, nor felt: “The measured stroke on elastic sward Of the steed three parts extended Hard held—the breath of his nostrils broad With the golden ether blended, Then the leap, the rise from the springy turf, ‘The rush through the buoyant air, And the Hght shock landing—the verlest sert Is an emperor then and there." ‘They cannot know what it is to go into his box while he whinnies with delight and puts down his soft muzzle to be caressed. Leave them to work their miserable peram- bulating scissors grinders along the dusty road. Very truly, W. C. SCOTT, —___+e+______ Word Not Taken. Minnie Brown, an imitator of the “new weman,” strolled into Judge Kimball's court this ‘morning, and Bailiff Cole, who saw her head over the shoulders of Arthur Sim- mons, called to her: “Take off your hat.” But he soon discovered that Minnie was not built that way and he#did not enforce his crder. » The young woman was far from sober, and the young mah whe had been arrested also appeared as if'hehad made a night of it. Arthur said he was guilty, but Minnie trade a denial. « £ “T went out in a cab with another girl and two fellers lastnight,” she said. “They did me dirt and this morning this feller was putting me on a car when a policeman ar- rested us.”” wi “They were walking around Washington Circle about 6 o'clock -this morning,” said Policeman Parham, ‘‘antl were so disorderly that I arrested them. Arthur was in his shirt sleeves, and Min- nie’s dress was tarn. “What were you:doing about the neigh- berhood of Washimgton Circle?” the court ir quired. a ad “I had left the other girl and two fellers and was going homie,” Minnie responded. “Where do you live?” “I occupy a room at 809 D street. I'ma decent girl and work for my living, and you may send two cops down there to see if what I say ain't all right. Honor bright, judge, I'm telling the truth.” “When were you here before?” ‘his is the first time I was ever arrest- ed,”’ she answered. “Honor bright, it is, and if you don’t believe me send the cops down to the house.” “Your language,” the. judge said, “show: me what you are, and you-are fined $5.” Arthur was fined a similar amount. —_—-._—_ Small Fire. This morning about 12:2 o'clock an alarm of fire was turned in from box 135 for a slight fire in the basement of the Corcoran Insurance building, No. 604 11th street northwest.
