Should any one get into the park not entitled to the free courtesy, Mr. Wagner wants to “nail” the indorser. ‘The same nines will line up for today’s game that were out yesterday, game being called at 4:15. The “Farrells” looked to be the stronger team on paper, and the vic- tery of the “McGuires” has sort of gin- gered them up. The game yesterday was a Deauty, but the chances are today’s game will be even an improvement on that. The Norfolk club was again at work this morning, and if any line can be placed on the team from a practice point of view this club will make the Senators extend them- selves next Thursday. The entire team is all right in a fielding sense, and unless the local pitchers keep their heavy hitters from landing on the ball, the game will be a battle royal from beginning to end. The First Regular Game. About 706 dyed-in-the-wcol base ball en- thusiasts assembled at National Park y terday afternoon to witness the first reg- ular game of the season between two nines picked from the ranks of the Senators and ——~ “365 days ahead of them all."* Keating Riders —ahove all others, can apprectate the perfect rigidity and strength afforded by the Keating Curved Frame.

The teams were i designated as the “Farrells” and “'Mc- ar = | Guires"” and nine full innings were gone through with, notwithstanding the cool fee Oe nt breezes that blew over the park after the sun went down. The final score was 4 to 1 in favor of the McGuires. Both teams put up an exceptionally bril- liant fielding game, but the batting was rather light. may mean one of two things—the pite’ were in excellent form or the batters had lost their keenness of vision. The “McGuires” certainly had the use of the best pitching talent in the two veterans, Mercer and German, and the sistance the tall boy Swaim gave them for one inning bordered on the sensational. Mercer went in the box for four innings and proved to be the “Winnie” of old, one NOBBY BICYCLE -- AND.. GOLF SUITS.

In the fifth inning men with spring bicycle Hillary Swaim went into the box and suits. The golf suit is very struck out such good batters as De Mon- treville and O’Brien in quick succe: and Abbey went out on a pop-up fly. S has been under the weather for a few days with an attack of the grip and this compelled him to withdraw after being on the rubber only one inning. The chances are he will divide honors with Mercer the coming season, at least among the sterner sex. German came into the pitcher’s box from second base in the sixth inning and fin- ished the game, his work being gilt edge, especially 4s to speed and fielding, his his heavy weight not proving a handicap, although the ‘charley horse” did. For the “Farrells’’ Norton went into the box for the first five innings and owing to errors of Ashe, who played first, the four runs crossed the plate that comprised the score of the game. Norton has all his old- ume speed with him, and his underhand delivery proved as effective as ever. In the fifth Inning, that promising lad from the Virginia league, John Kimball, went on the rubber, end for three innings gave a display of pitching that warmed the cockles of the hearts of both Manager melz and Earl Wagner. This boy Kim- ball possesses a good head in the matter of mixing up balls, and in fielding his po- sition, he covers lots of ground and is ex- tremely swift on his feet. In the eighth inning Stephen Ashe went into the box, and for two innings kept the “McGulres” guessing, as his colleagues had done before him. Mr. AsHe might not do as a first baseman, but as a pitcher he is all right. He has an excellent swift ball and should he get control of a slow one there is ro telling where his ability will stop. Mr. Earl Wagner was early on hand with his corps of assistants and the reliable en- thusiasts received a hearty welcome as they filed into the grounds. Everything was in tiptop shape and congratulations came thick and fast. Both sides drew blanks in the first in- ning, but in the second big Cartwright reached first on a dropped high-fly by Far- rell. Then Jack Gilroy hit a iittle grounder to Norton and a quick throw would have retired the runner, but Ashe on first scored his first error. Both runners moved up a base on Wrigley’s neat sacrifice to O’Brien. Lester German then made himself solid with Capt. McGuire by hitting out a nice single to right, scoring Cartwright, and on top of this Mercer soaked a double, bring- ing in Gilroy. Rellly’s Sensational Stop. The third run was scored in the third. Selbach reached first on Ashe’s error after Reilly had made a sensational stop and throw from third. Capt. McGuire then shoved the German boy along with a cork- ing single to right, and as he had started on the hit-and-run plan, he reached third. Cartwright then drove a long fiy to left and Selbach came in. The fourth and last run was scored through Selbach’s pretty hit to left field that went for three bases, but should have been a home run but for interference ef the runner, both at second and third.

BOWLING. The last set of games in the District Amateur Bowling Legue were rolled last night on the alleys of the Washington Athletic Club, between the Carroll Insti- tute and Washington Athletic teams. The Carroll Institute team won both games. In the first game the Carrolls made 766 pins against 705 pins by the Washingtons, winning by a margin of 61 pins. The second game was finely rolled by both teams and was only won by 5 pins, the Carrolls making a score of 800 pins to 79 pins by the Washingtons. Fuller and Armstrong both made a score of 20% pins in this game. Rice made the best average of the set, 177% pins; Fuller made the best average for his side, 171 pins. Armstrong and Ful- ler were tied for the highest score of the evening, with 20% pins. Merritt and Martin made the difficult spares of 1, 3, 8, 9, 10 and 4, 3, 6, 7, 10.

Chairman Mott's Action Influenced by a Request From England. Chairman Albert Mott of the L. A. W. racing board has announced the indefinite suspension from all L. A. W. racing tracks of James Michael, the Welsh racing crack. Michael came to this country several weeks ago and has won several good races and was, it is understood, soon to have tried conclusions with E. C. Bald and some other of America’s best riders. Michael is a member of the English Cycling Association, and his suspension is the result of a request preferred by it, as he was under susj) sion in England on account of some tinan- cial matters. It is also announced that Fred Gerlach of Chicago has been tendered the seventh and vacant on the boare racing place CATARRH Mrs. Josephine Polhill of Due West, ©.

Tommy White of Chicago and “Spike” Sullivan of Ireland met last night in a six round go in the arena of the Quaker City Athletic Club in Philadelphia. There was Uttle work done in the opening round, but in the seccnd Sullivan sailed in and landed some good stomach punches. White re- sorted to clinching and was hissed repeated- ly_by the spectators. Sullivan had the advantage in the third round, landing his left repeatedly on White's stomach, while the latter resorted to his famous left Jabs on the face. White regained some of his speed in the fourth round and landed some stiff punches on “Spike's” face, opening up a bad cut over the Irishman’s right eye. He had Sullivan very tired when the gong sound- ed. The fifth was give and take, both men being tired from the previous round. When the gong sent the men to their corners they were both very tired. Neither man had much of an advantage in the closing round. Sullivan did the most of the leading, and his blows seemed to have the most force. White landed sev- eral times, but he lacked the steam. The bout was a good draw. In the preliminary bouts Joe Harris of Wilkesbarre was defeated by Dan Dough- erty of Philadelphia; Dave Griffith of Min- neapo[s was stopped in the second round by Herman Miller of Baltimore, Jack Lynch of Philadelphia was stopped in the fifth round of his setto with Danny Mc- Mahon of Detroit; Isidore Strauss had a slight advantage over Billy Pelffer and Frank Fisher was ovtpointed by Steve Flanagan.
