Sponge Stuck In the Nostrils of Marjorte. Majorie, the speedy Iroquois filly, who appeared to have the last race on the card at the San Franc’sco races at her mercy, as scratched at the last minute Tuesday ise she wheezed in her preliminary gal- A_ veterinary discovered a sponge in her nostrils. This discovery un- = earthed the most modern method of “dead- ening” a horse, and one that has doubtless been practiced in California for some time. ‘The impression prevailed that Decision was “doped” in her last race. She ran well for a little way, but stopped to almost a walk near the finish. The mare has been sick ever since the race. The veterinary made an examination of Decision, and dis- covered a sponge in her nostril also. The board of stewards is making an investiga- tion of this latest scandal. : Bowling. The third series, second assignment, in the C. A.

Finley led the evening, with a total of 100; Beall second, 105, and Doogale third, with 8). The others’ were Flynn and Sutton, 87 each; Fisher, 73; Grant, 76 and Rice, 73. —— Charged With a Serioux Offense.

COULDN'T HIT PAYNE Brooklyn's New Southpaw Proved Invincible. LET DOWN IN THE SENATORS’ BATEING Spring Meeting of the Jockey Club Ends Tomorrow. GENERAL SPORTING —— NOTES The Washingtons led the Brooklyns a merry chase for five innings at Bastern Park yesterday afterncon, says the New York Sun, but the solitary Washington rooter who occup‘ed a prominent seat in the grand stand never said a word after Ander- son dashed across the plate in the sixth inning with the run which tied the score. McJames, who had been pitching good ball, then lost his cunning, and the home team finished the game an easy winner. It Payne's debut on the home grounds, the #,000 spectators repeatedly cheered him as he mowed down the Senators’ heavy nitters, The ex-Toronto twirler seemed to be at his best when using a sharp in curve. Time and again the Washingtons hit at the tantalizing shoots only to miss the by several inches. Corcoran accepted thir- His star play was a catch of MeJames' fly in short left field. The Washingtons made an effort to raliy in the eighth inning, but McCarthy by a long throw to third base retired the side. The Washingtons made their only runs in the second inning. Selbach, the first man to the plate, sent a long fly near the right fiehl seats. It looked like a sure out for Anderson, but just as the tall outfielder was about to grab the ball he partly lost his Palance and “the bail went through his hands Ibach reached third on the error and raced liome w! sht slammed the pall past Core Just as McCarthy was about to stop the ball it gave a bound and rolled to the fence, Cartwright reaching third bas While Rogers was being retired at first by Corcoran, Cartwright crossed the plate. In the Brooklyns’ half of the second inning, Shindle hit for two bases. The next two men were retired on flies to infield. tur- ril's si bunder went through Joyce's legs and Shindle came Anderson double ored on Shindie’s hit. cond and tallied on Corcoran’s sing Hour more runs were made by the Brook- in the eighth innin; xth inning and The latter stole Chan hit safely and Cartwright al- lowed Snindle’s bounder to escape hi: clutches.

The kind of ball that the Phillies put up yesterday was calculated to make the | most cenfirmed crank break all the com- mandments. It was saporific, “dopy” and csreless, and a reflection upon their nat- !ural ability. They went at the work in hand like so many navy yard painters afraid of working themselves out of a job. They won, to be sure, but not because they played winning ball, but because New York played losing ball. The New York Pigmies had a good lead until the sixth inning, when the Phillies feil upon Flynn and hammered out five singles and a dou- ble, netting six runs. Flynn was wild throughout, but Taylor pitched a pretty, steady game. PHILADELPHIA. -H.0.A.E, -H.O.

The visitors played a snappy ané aggres- sive game. t ‘The Senators this year are an agetegation of ieavy hitters, and Payne's work: yester- day stamps him as being far more than an ordinary pitcher, MeJames, ancther new man in. the league, was in the box for the Washing- tons, but he failed to make a good showing, the Brooklyns making ten hits,“ with a total of fourteen bases, and scoring four ned runs. “Scrappy Bill" Joyce produced a pretty good neweomer himself in McJames, a Vir- ginia pitcher, a big, strong, h fellow, who bids fair to be a second Rusie.

But the strain told upon the big fellow toward the last, and in the eighth inning the Lrooklyns took a first mortgage upon the game “by banging MeJames’s speedy balls over the green lot. Capt.

Ward, the base ball player, has been offer- ed $5,000 to manage the Louisville Base Ball Club, both off and on the field. The deal has been on for some time, but the manage- ment kept the matter a secret. Mr. Dahler, one of the directors of the club, said last night: “If Ward, with his energy, experience and well-known methods of managing, can be secured with the money cirectors are willing to invest in good material, he will be able to place this year a club in the field that will. make the first division. The negotiations have not, however, been closed. and it is possible that they will not be. In that everft the ciub has another good man in view, le Loutsy! BASE BALL IN A HALL, Local “Fans” Waiting on the Tick of the Telegraph. “You'll walk, Selby!” ‘Wait for ‘em, Bil! “Line 'er out, Scrappy!" “That's robbery! Such are the familiar sounds that are heard at the telegraphic ‘base ball game that is played in Metzerott Hall every afternoon that the Washington team has a game away from home. They ape agcompanied by most of the well-known sounds of good, hard “rooting,” and a person strolling into the hall where the exhibition Is taking place might close his eyes and easily imagine that he sat with the “‘fans'” on the right-field bleAchers in the midst of an exciting match. The game is reported, item by item, from the grand stand in the other city, an electric wire cennecting a man who surveys the actual game with the man here who con- trols the mimic game by his translation of the mystic “tick-tacks" of the telegraph. Svery ball pitched’ is ‘reported, and an. nouncement is made here of balls, strikes and even fouls in regular order, so that the fate of the batsman can be followed with the breathless anxiety that is felt by the full-fledged “fan as he “pulls hard” for victory. The game is reproduced by means of a miniature diamond painted on a large board that is perforated with slots, throygh which figures and names are shown. Each batter’s name appears in turn as the man steps to the plate in the distant city. One by one the pitcher, whose name also ap- pears in the center of the diamond, delivers his deceptive curves, drops and wiggles. Balls are antounced by voice and then shown by numbers on one side of the board. Strikes are called out and indicated on the other side. There is a slot which shows the number of men that have been put out and corresponding on the other side is a place to tally the runs for the inning. But this is not all. Two blackboards, ruled like the summary of a score card, flank the miniature d'arggnd and show the -——. The Best The best time to look after your health is now. Tomorrow may be too late.
