Ave. It SEEN IN SIX GAMES How the Work of the Local Nine Appears. RAGGED FIELDING, BUT GOOD BATTING The Latter is What Won the Games. NOTES OF THE PLAYERS se _— A little over a week has gone by since the base ball season opened, and few, if any, surprises have developed in the way o< remarkable spurts by any of the twelve chbs. Washington has done well, exceed- irsly well, in fact, but then, been playing at home, and have always dore good work on their own stamping ground. The long western trip will determine whether the club will go up higher or down lower this season. It is to be hoped that Capt. Joyce will be back in the game by the time the western trip be- gins, so it can be definitely settled what the local patrons can expect from the club, 'The terrible blow Joyce received in Wed- nesday’s game was unfortunate in more ways than one. If “Billy” has a yellow streak in his compesition it will be de- veloped In such a way as to ruin his bat- ting for a month at least, and perhaps for the season. Very few men would step to the rubber after such an accident without a shiver and a tendency to pull away from the plate. Accidents of this kind have put players out of the game time after time, but it is to be hoped that Joyce’s reput tion a placed, end that his good work this early in the season may continue for some years to come. Nobod:’ claims Joyce to be a first-class fielder, but be is a good sticker, base run- ner and a fine ceptain, and it is more than an even guess that had the Senators’ cap- tain continued in the game without injury that terrible “let down’ of the fielders in the sixth inning of Wednesday's game would not have oceurred, and another vie- tery would have been chalked up to the credit of the Washington boys. Of the other players, Abbey and Selbach are doing the best work, aithough Ro; and McCauley are close on their h The auburn-haired man in right field not mind the glare of the sun in the least, takes care of everything that comes h to the wonder of the visiting right fielders, and at bat easily leads the club. 5 ‘h is flelding up to the top notch, his last Tuesday being of the phenomenal the Senators order. McCauley’s work has made “Old Relia- * MeGuire ginger up, as he cannot af- rd to let a new man supplant him in the affections of the local patrons, and fortu- nately we have now two good backstops. Tom Brown ts batting all right, and his fielding is sai factory. Brown gathers in the balls in territory so easily owing to his great speed that many refuse to give him credit for good work, which is re- liable and steady. Rogers is batting well, and for a substitute second baseman has been doing exceptionally weli. The posi- tion is new to him, but he is a natural vorn player, and will rarely fall down in any position on the field. Cartwright is fielding all right, but has not got bis eye on thi all. Rogers, De Montreville and Joyce have been putting some terrible balls over to ihe big first an, but he has taken care of them, and to be hoped that his batting form will soon return, Lush has had little to do, but appears to be exceptionally quick, and meets the ball with the stick like a %ov-hitter. Crooks’ return to the diamond will be hailed with delight, as he acts as a strengthener for the younger men. His fielding can be re- lied upon to be first-class at all stages of the game, and as a batter ne does very well. Capt. Joyce has apparently decided to try out the young pitchers in the first part of the season, and those that do net come up to expectation will be given their 1e- lease. Maul, Mercer and Anderson are all right, and two pitchers to help out must be picked from the group comprising Mc- James, Boyd, Malarky ard Gilroy. Gilroy is the steadiest of the lot, but as yet has not pitched a full game. If the other boys could only locate the plate, what a trio of good pitchers they would be. All of them have terrific speed, but a b on balis is almost as good as a base hit, and a nine cannot win behind a wild pitcher. To sum up, the nine has done exceedingly well so far, but Joyce is the nine’s mainstay, and he must get back in the game in a hurry. The other eleven clubs are doing about what was expected of them. The Phillies’ Strength is too well known to question, and if Captain Nash can get them to piay ball together the pennant is theirs to a dead certamty. The Bostons are expected to do great work, but how they can do it with only one fi jass pitcher is a mys- tery to close followers of the game. The Orioles are all right. McGraw is missed, but they are not letting any tricks get away from them during the little third baseman’s absence, if they can help. it. If the club can stay in the first division until McGraw returns they will be fighting the Phillies for the pennant around August. The Brooklyns look well, and so far have held their own, but the men ap- Pear beefy and slow, and their pitchers will Fave to do better work to allow the club to keep up with the procession. As to the New York club, it looks as if Gleason is a much overrated man; likewise Irwin; that the club has good men, but won't play them, through jealousy, and that even with Rusie {t will do well to finish as well as last season. In the west, Chicago is show- ing up creditably, and may surprise the wiseacres.

But the season is young, and ail criticism is unreliable at this time | of the year. It is probable that one of the landmarks of the national game has stepped down and out. Adrian C. Anson, the old- ball | player and young actor, has, if the news that comes from St. Louis is true, played his last game of base ball. After a quarter of a century on the diamond he has gone to the bench. The lovers of the game will be sorry co hear this. The big first hase- man, although gruff and sometimes stub- born, was always as straight In his deal- ings as a “yard of pump water.” No one ean pick a flaw in his record. He 1s the soul of honor, and is a credit to the na- tional game. Aithough his colossal form will perhaps never again loom up on the right-hand corner of the ciaumond, and the pitchers will no longer fear Anson’s turn at the bat, he is not out of the game en- tirely. He will be with his Colts through thick and thin. He will be in the game every day in the capacity of an active ‘THE FATES CANNOT HARM ME.” “I HAVE DINED WEIL TODAY.” So spake the Greeks and Romans.

Not one of the players that started out as professional ball players when he did is now In the business. Anson saw hundreds of players come and go from the league, but he held on so tenaciously that people came to think that he was to go on forever. The news from St. Louis says that he had decided to retire in favor of a younger and more ac- tive man. Here is hoping that the game will be blessed with many more Ansons. ‘The splendid work of Abbey and Selbach during the past week has set people to talking about great plays made in bygone days, and many patrons of che game often wonder at the manner in which some of the plays on the field are made, but never think that many of them are the result of accident. “Long John” Reilly, who played first hase for Cincinnati for many seasons, recently called to mind, through a local pa: per, a play in which he took part that was rot his good playing, but chance that made him a hero. The Cincinnati team was playing in New York, and Reilly was call- ed ‘upon to go into the field, the regular outfielder being fll. Jim O'Rourke was then playing the field for the Giants, and, it being sunny, used spectacles. Jim left nis glasses in the field for Reilly to use, but John found he could not see with :hem and left them off. O'Rourke came to the bat, and getting a good ball, laced it to- ward Reilly. “Long John” saw it leave the bat, but that was all. He knew he must make a bluff at getting it, or be guyed by the bleachers, He started to one side on the run, and with one hand outstretched. By some lucky chance the ball struck in his hand, and Rellly acknowledges that he was frightened when {t hit him. He had presence of mind enough to hold on to the ball, and was chicered to the echo for mak- ing a grand-stand catch. Reilly afterward confessed to O'Rourke that ne had no idea of getting the ball. The winning of Thursday’s game by the Senators was a pleasant surprise to many of their admirers, as the shifting around of the infield was looked for to weaken the team. But they stuck together like veterans, and too much praise cannot be given them for the good work under these circumsta Take two regular men out of the infi any other ciub, and it's dollars to pennies they wouldn't win a game in a month. That outficld of the Senators will surprise many attendants upon the game in the cites they visit this season. Selbach, Brown and Abbey may be a littie behind the Duffy-Delehanty-Lange class in batting, but when it comes to fielding they are en- | titled to as many bouquets as the trio with Sreater reputations. Pittsburg appears to be getting back In- to its old shape for ruffianly p consequence every club in the league be “laying for them,” as they did in ‘DL. Tough exhibitions on the field won't win in the long run, and the sooner the smoky city lads drop to this fact the better tt will be for them The latest reports from Capt to the effect that it will be a wet before he gets back into the gaine. blow he received in the face was a tec! one, and besides ttering the ni s Ught. ‘appy Hill" ght to look at just now, injurics as a matter of course, and he will soon be all right. In the six games played so far by the Senators they have outbatted the visiting club about 20 per cent, but in telding fall fully that percentage behind. Batting will win more games ihan good fielding, and if the Senators can keep up their work with the stick it is a foregone conclusion taat their fielding will improve. Abbey's record of eight put outs im right field, and Selbach's seven put outs and one assist, will doubtless stand for as the record for those two positio to brilliancy it is not likely that they be eclipsed. Pitcher Cuppy is at his slow work again, and the Cineinnatt “fans” tried all sorts of tactics to urge him on. Counting out the numbers as he stood in the box was tried, and at one time the crowd counted up to twenty before the ball left the pitcher's ation wili take care of this son, From presert indications it looks as if the Phillles were going to make a runaway race of it. Their fielding has been sharp and almost fatltless, and their batting somethinp terriffic. pms to have Jollied the crowd into playing scientific ball, and Philadelphia people are almost tickled to death. Ladies’ day in Washington has created a furore among the fair sex. The grand stand has been crowded on each of the spe- clal days, and a prettier sight can hardly be imagined. Washingtor’s prettiest gi are elways present, and the members of the different theatr companies in the city add to the brilliancy of the occasions. Last seasin McGuire was the only mem- ber of the local club to catch a fine, but this season Selbach- bas already din to head the list for the Senators. In Thurs- day's game the little left fielder “chinned”’ Keefe a lretle too long, and as a conse- quence caugh: a fiver for his trouble. Burkett has already begun to muff. He counteracts his batting by dropping so many fly halls. Sullivan sesms perfectly at home out in the Phillles’ center. He made some pretty catches Mcnday. Joe looks the picture of health. Now Irwin denies that he said the Giants would be one, two, three. “Hold the line a minute, please.” The magnificent attendance that is being given the St. Louls club ought to silence for a time those pests of the game who are trying to rtn the club out of the city. Sadie McMahcn cf the Orioles seems to be going into a decline. Thre Chicago men sey teor fall in the back yard. Joyce are closed up both e is not a pretty hk but he takes Perhaps it was the New York teem going down ‘Jacob's ladder.” The Lo ticville papers are causing trouble among the Colonels. They publish a pic- ture of a man who distinguishes himself. One thing was remarked by a Chicago newspaper man: “The Louisville people,” said he, “do not stand by the club in ad- versity and encourage it, as the fans do elsewhere. They forget that the game is never over until the last inning.” A member of the Giants said that the heat in Washington was something aw- ful, and that the players fairly wilted un- der it. Just why the heat did not have the same wilting effect upon the Senators was not accounted for. This season there will be six playing managers in the National League. This increase In the number of playing man- agers speaks well for the player, and it shows that his employers regard him as thoroughly responsible and competent as the non-playing bench maragers. McCreery was jeered yesterday by Louts- ville people. Yet McCreery generaliy pitch- es well. He is regarded by good judges to be one of the Colonels’ bi youngster: Anson said of Friend, MeCreery is a “good pitcher, and, then, he is good and rotten at. times Louisville Times. New York papers have taken up Rusie’s case. Amy's latest runs thu: “I won't answer that at all. I have made no propo- sition and don't intend to make any. ‘Phe matter is in the hands of the national board, and there it will stay till it is de- cided. I don’t want to play ball and won't be driven to it. That settles the matter, so far as I am concerned.” The third base piaying of Charley Irwin has already taken the cranks, and Lath am’s name is rever mentioned now, ex- cept in tones of derision. In fielding Irwin is as good as any third baseman in the league. His foul catch near the fence yes- terday was a beauty. The cranks are wondering how Chicago happened to let such a good man get away. Says Dahlen: “Kid Gleason has supplant- ed Fred Pfeffer. Fred is the best second baseman in the business. That Dutchman can scoop them up when it would be an utter impossibility for any one else to do so. New York, in my cpinion, ought to play Fred regularly at second. ‘Kid’ Glea- son is puffed up, and If Freedman does not watch out he will run the club in the ground.” ee Ordering Her Bonnet.

THE ’VARSITY’S COMPETITORS ee The relay races held this afternoon at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, under the auspices of the University of Pennsylva- nia will be doubly interesting to local peo- ple, not so much on account of the general interest in the outcome of the various events, but because two local universi- tles are sending teams to compete with the cracks of the other colleges. And whut is more, the teams stand an excel- lent show of coming out ahead in the events In which they are entered. The re- lay races will be conducted on a greater magnitude than ever before attempted. There wiil be various events, commencing at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and ending at 5:30 o'clock, in which the crack racers of over twenty different colleges will com- pete, The principal event of the day will be the one-mile race of four relays for the championsiip of Ameri which will be the iast thing on the program, and which will be the event of the day, because of the fact that the leading colleges of the country will enter teams to win the o eted championship. The most promin colleges entered im this race, as has heen stated in The Star, are Harvard, Yale, Unl- versity of Pen: yania ad Georgetown. This is the oniy event in which Geo! town is entered. By authorities all over the country the race is conceded to George- town and Harvard, with the balance in favor of Georgetown. According to the elphia ers Harvard is regarded as first, with Georgetown a clear second and Yal> and University of Pennsylvania fighting for third place. This is Georgetown’'s first o the relay line. The unive y prominence in this class of ing last fall when it defeated the team of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania at the annual fall meet held on the Georgetown carpus. This event was the most exciting ever held in town. The Georgetown posed of young We! laney ani & Wefers vania men gained nearly lagher diminished the dis- Ss, and DL brought th to a close five yards, when made the last lap, and he won, in a magnificent spurt by about twen- ty-five- yards.

This is phenomenally fast time, and will un- doubtedly win the race for the boys in blue and ¢ It is claimed that Wefers can run the distanee tn 49 #econds flat, and if he does this he will sti further lower the uverage tme. Wefers himself has made the statement, and makes it in good faitn, that If any distance under thirty yards separates him from the leading man when he begins his relay, Georgetown will win. If any man can back this statement up it is Wefers. Bernard J. Wefers. The team of Georgetown is composed of extremely young men, of which B. J. Wefers is the most promising man. He is of the class of '98, is six feet high, weighs 174 pounds, and is only twenty-one years of age. This is his first year at Georgetown, attending Boston College last year. His home is at Lowell, Mass. He first came in- to notice as a runner in the spring of 1805, when he ran 120 yards in 12 seconds. This gave him considerable prominence, and in other events he made good time. Last sum- mer he joined the New York Athletic Club, and under their colors has won some not- able races. In their September games last fall he broke the world's record for 300 yards, and in the international games he equaled the record for 100 yards in 9 4-3 seconds. This record was made by Owens when the Amateur Athletic Union held its annual field and track event in this city in 1890, on Analostan Island. In the interna- Uional games in which he equaled the record for one mile, he broke the world's record for 220 yards, placing the time at 21 3-5 seconds. It Is needless to say that these records were nade in competition and that Wefers won both races. He came to Georgetown October 1, 1895, and made his debut in the local athletic world with the Georgetown relay team, which defeated the University of Pennsylvania. on November 9). At tae games of the twelfth regiment, held in Boston last February, he equaled the world’s record for seventy-five yards, the time 7 3-5 seconds. In the same being 7 month at the games of the New Jersey Ath- letfc Club, held in Madison Square Garden, in New York city, he broke the record for fifty yards, but the record was not allowed, because in official terms Wefers beat t pistol at the start. On April 8, at an exhi- bition run, held under the auspices of Bus- ton College, and at their annual games, he equaled the world’s record for thirty yards, time 33-5. At Georgetown, April 15, in an exhibition run of 220 yards, his time by four out of six timepieces was 21 2-5 sec- onds, or 1-5 of a second better than his world’s record. He will be the last runner on the team. J. M. Gallagher. J. M. Gallagher is the next most promi- nent man on the team, and is the next best runner at the college. He is a member of the post graduate course, and comes to Georgetown from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He is twenty-two years of age, five feet six inches in hejght and weighs 138 pounds, being the lightest man on the team. He ‘s a half and quarter-mile rw ner, and also a hurdler of some abilit: Most of the events in which he has com- peted have been relay races, in which he ran under the colors of the Worcester Tech. and the Worcester Athletic Club. For these two he has run over a dozen races. He was on Georgetown's| relay team last fall when Pernsylvania_was defeated, and by many it is claimed that’ he wen the race, his competitor having-over forty yards’ start on him,which he reduced to about ten yards at the finish. In the New England meet of the Amateur Athletic Union last September he was ieading Champion Bremer until the ninth hurdle, when he fell. He is a good all round athlete, and one of the best men that ever attended George- town. At the field games of Georgetown University held last fall he won the high hurdles, and at the New Jersey games at Madison Square Garden last September he ceme third in the 440-yard race. J. D. Delaney. J. D. Delaney is regarded as the third best man. He js a member of the class of "9, and is twenty-one years of age. He is five feet eleven inches in height, and weighs 182 pounds. His native town is Worcester, Mass., and he js a graduate of the Wor- cester High School. This is his first year at Georgetown. He has been a runner for some time for the Worcester Athletic Club. He is the strongest man on the team, and runs principaliy on hig strength. He is not much of & sprinter, but keeps up a Killing pace from the start. He is much better in the half and mile than in the quarter. He has also done a great deal of team racing, running often with Gallagher. In 1894 he won a mile race in the Boston Athletic Club's indoor games, in 4.36, defeating such orgetown | cracks as Orton and Kilpatrick. The sami year he won the indoor 1,000-yard cham: peneui! of New England. On account of illness he did not run last summer. At the fall games of Georgetown last year he won the mile and half-mile races, and was also on the relay team against Pennsylvania. On February 14 he went to Worcester and ran J. J. McLaughlin of Worcester for the indoor 1,000-yard championship of New England, but was defeated by less than a yard. He has trained hard for the relay, but later on he will get in trim for the mile race at the intercollegiate meet on Decora- tion day, at Berkeley Oval. He will then give up the quarter mile, Julius $. Walsh, Julius S. Waish, arother member of the team, is a native of St. Louis. He is only ninteen years of age and a member of the class of ’88. He weighs 143 pounds and stands 5 feet 84 inches in height. He has been prominent for the past few years at Georgetown College in general athletics, but he never won any races till last winter. Last fall he played full back on the class of "08 foot ball team. Next to McElhone, he is the@est high jumper in the college, with the record of 5 feet 4 inches. The first race in which he entered was last March tf games of the Pastime*Athletic York city. He won th race with the time of 63-5 seconds, which is a novice record, and only a fifth of a second below the world’s record for the distance. The same night he won the sixty-yard handicap from the ten-foot mark, his time being 62-5 seconds. He is better at the sprints than in the quarter, and if he develops enough to keep up for 440 yards he will be an excellent man. William Holt. William Holt of the class of '9) is the fifth member of the team. He is only eight- «en years of age, 5 feet 8 inches in height and weighs 152 pounds. He comes froia the city of brotherly love, and before enter- ing Georgetown was a student at St. Jo- seph’s School, Philadelphia. Last fall he played full back on the class of "99 foot ball team. His first remarkable running was in June of 18M at the Philadelphi Academic m 54 seconds. The same summer, Caledonian games, he won the handicap race from the twenty-yard mar'x in the time of 1.18 flat.

ROWING. Poton we River Regatta Likely to Be Held in Jaly. Nothing has been done toward re: an agreement in regard to the proposed re gatta on the Potomac this summer, nor is it likely that anything will be done until after the races of Decoration day, in whic the Potomac and Columbia clubs are di- rectly interested by having crews in the races, while the Analostan Club is interested in general over the out- ecme. Last year the regatta was held in August; but this year, unless there is a great change of opinion among a good many .people interested in the matter, the regatta will come off in July, possibly the fere part. This will be much better than in August. The claims advanced for hold- ing the regatta in the early part of the month are mainly based on the question of obtzining a larger representation of oars- men. It is argued that in the east, and especially at Philadelphia, there will be re- gattas around July Fourth, the visiting carsmen taking in several events while away from home. If a regatta be held in Washington any time before July 10, it is likely to attract a good many crews that would not otherwise come here. The Potomacs have been doing hard work during the past week and every evening their eight has been out and working hard. ‘The composition of the crew which will row at Annapolis Decoration day will most likely be as follows: Maurice, bow; Offley, Bauby, two; Ball, three: Gormully, fou ve; Gallagher, six; Roulet' eight; Doyle, coxswain. The the crew will probably b Jacobs. Macey and TE Preparing for the Tournament of the Southern Association. The affairs of the Southern Lawn Ten- nis Association are booming up, and at a recent meeting held at the office of Mr. John C. Davidson, on F street, the pros- pects for the coming year were talked over. This was the tenth annual meeting of the association, and it was attended by a num- ber of tennis players of some note from the southern states. The meeting was of more particular interest from the fact that officers were elected for the ensuing year, those selected being Mr. H. 8. Post of Bal- timore, president; Mr. Jchn C. Davidson, vice president, and Mr. W. P. Metcalf, sec- retary-treasurer. An executive committe, consisting of the above, and Messrs. Yates Pennington and John Hinckley of Balti- mere, Mr. Harry Gower of Georgetown University, and Mr. H. H. Westcott was appointed. Georgetown University made application for membership and was elécted unanl- mously, the ‘varsity being represented by Mr. Robert Dick Douglas, the manager of athletics, and several others. The Balti- more Cricket Club and the Catonsville Country Club were algo represented. The Southern Lawn Tennis Association was originally formed for all states south of the Mason and Dixon line to meet in an- nual competition for the championship of the territory. Since jdining the National Iawn Tennis Association a change has been made, and while the membership is limited to ‘clubs in the southern states the championship series is open to any out- ~ a ee ee en, a a ae and | + experiment. ee pay elsewhere. eSerrrerrr Ser Castelberg’s price... 5 : begin at once!
