MAUL HESIEATES ABOUT SIGNING Georgetown Students Put Up a Creditable Game. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES The Senators will meet the nine repre- senting the University of Vermont this af- ternoon, and an interesting game should be played. It is also ‘ladies’ day,” and a large representation will no doubt be in at- tendance. Mercer will probably start the ball rolling for the home club, and Kimball and German will probably help out. Game will be called et 4:15 o'clock, and the bat- ting order follows: Batting Order. U. of Vermont. Johnson, c. t. Wheeler, 2a. Aldinger, c. Dinsmore, 34. Miner, p. Emery, Ist, T, 8.8. Stiles, r. f. Weaver, 1. f. Albert Maul, the popular pitcher of the Washington club, was on hand this morn- ing at National Park with the remainder of the boys and listened to the base ball wisdom of Manager Schmelz and Captain Brown in the dressing room with the clos- est attention. In conversation with a Star reporter Maul said that his health was of the best, and that his arm never felt stronger. He arrived in Weshington late yesterday afternoon and immediately jour- neyed to the grounds and took in the game from the players’ bench. Every one of the players had a good word for the hand- some twirler, and many patted the good right arm approvingly. Mr. Earl Wagner said this morning that no agreement had been reached between Maul and him for the coming season, but that he had little doubt they would soon come to terms. Mr. Wagner says there bas never been any trouble between the club and Maul over money matters, and this season the amount ts satisfactory, but the wording of the contract is what is worrying the pitcher. Maul wants to be signed as he has been the last two years, but Mr. Wagner believes he has expended @ good deal of money without sufficient re- turn. Continuing, the conversation with a Star reporter, Mr. Wagner said: “I would be very foolish to pay out the money I have for the last two years if I didn't believe that Maul is one of the greatest pitchers in the country. I have no kick coming over the money already spent, but this season I think I should be- gin to reap the benefit of my investment. If Maul's arm is in good condition, and he desires to play ball with the Washington club, I wouldn't trade him for any twirler in the league. If his arm is no good, he isn't worth a row of pins to me. And there you are.” Thousands of the local patrons of the game would like to see Maul on the pay roll of the club, but every one of them recognizes the fact that Mr. Wagner has treated the handsome pitcher almost princely, and the stand taken by the mag- nate this season is universally indorsed. An erroneous {idea has gotten out, to the effect that Maul will be given nothing this season unless he pitches good ball. The fact of the matter is that Maul can sign his contract and loaf on the bench the en- tire season, and yet receive one-third of his_season’s salary. If this isn’t a square deal, then the defini- tion of that term ts generally misunder- stood. That Maul has come to Washington is the surest indication that he has confi- dence in his arm, and before many days have elapsed his name will no doubt go down on the contract. He will doubtless practice with the boys and keep himself in tiptop condition for the opening of the season. Dawson, the first baserran of the George- town team, who was struck on the head by one of McJames’ terrific inshoots during yesterday's game, rested well last night, ard this morning had almost recovered from the shock. The blow was a hard one, and it should be several days before the plucky first baseman goes back in the geome. Harry O'Hagan and Erney Hodge glided away to Newark yesterday morning, and the expected “All-Washington” game for tomorrow hes fallen through. In its place Manager Schmelz has arranged with the Georgetown boys for a return game, and another gingery contest can be looked for. GOOD WORK OF COLLEGE boys. ‘Washington. Lush, r. f. De Montreville, a.s. Selbach, 1.-f, Georgetown Put Up a Very Creditable Game Against the Professionals. Yesterday’s game between the Washing- ton professionals and the Georgetown Uni- versity nines came the nearest to being the real thing of any contest so far played at National Park this spring. The snappy, scrappy game of the collegians was worth going miles to see, and this aggressive work kept the professionals working hard throughout the nine innings. The largest gathering of the season was on hand, about 1,500 persons, to cheer on the college boys, and the yells they gave added con- siderable zest to the occasion. A couple of hundred ladies were present, and although the Georgetown boys received the greater portion of their applause, the Senators were not forgotten in this respect. Jimmy McJames, fresh from the southern clime, pitched fer the Senators, and al- though lacking in control, clearly demon- strated that he has the speed of last year. An unfortunate accident occurred in the first inning that for a time cast a gloom over the field, as the results might have been extremely serious. Dawson was at the bat, and McJames sent in a tremen- dous in-shoot that the batter misjudged, @9eeeeee B eeeoeeeoosnoeso esece SOLeGO O® | | { turned inside out for inspection. 909 Pa.

Dawson went t@ thézground like a dead man, but quickly ered and was led from the ground. It gill be several days before the unfortunate player will fully recover. The thi igs that Mc- James was in the Pegulted in goose eggs for the college boys. In the fourth inning the elongated Swaim ambled into the pitcher's’ ition, amid the humorous. remarks’ of the crowd, but his clever work quickly demonstrated that his figure was no hi canto his playing ability. Swaim is tryitté to*master a slow ball, and notwithstanding the way the stu- dents went at his curves he continued on this line for the threélinnings he was the game. In the sixth inning two ru crossed the plate for the Georgetowns, as a result of McCarthy's) nide single, Rear- don’s cracking three-bafger over Selbach’s head and an error by; Lush, in right field. These two runs were the sym of George- town’s scoring in the game.’ Pitcher Ashe went onthe rubber in the seventh inning and held the collegians down to one hit during the three innings he was serving up his menu of puzzling curves and drops. The Georgetown captain put only two Ten in the vitcher’s position during the nine innings, but their work was of such quality that the highest praise should be given them. Walsh was the first man up, and he cuntinued on the rubber for six innings with the result that but seven hits went against his record. Several of the onlookers charged that the Senators Were not half trying, but this is unjust to Walsh. A club may become careless in fielding, but in battimg never—the players take too much delight in smashing the ball if it can be done. In the seventh inning Clancy faced the professionals, but by this time they had become warmed up and as a result two runs came quickly over the rubber, a lit- tle wildness contributing to this result. “Old Reliable’ McGuire led at the bat for the Washingtons, registering three singles, while Lush followed with a double and a single, and Cartwright with two singles. McCarthy ited the Georgetown boys with two singles, but Reardon’s triple created more enthusiasm than a dozen singles, as {t came at a time when.a runner was on first and the first run of the game was tallied. Johnny Heydler handled the indicator and gave satisfaction to all, although the usual bluff of kicking on the slightest provocation was indulged in.

A Pretty Contest on the Columbia Field. The Catholic University base ball team was defeated by Lafayette Pollege yester- day at Columbia Field, $ to 4, in the pret- tlest college game that has been played here this season. It was rather in the nature of a pitchers’ battle between Mc- Tighe of the local team: end Jones of the visitors. The former..struck out twelve men, but gave three bases on balls and hit a man, while the latter struék out ten and hit two men. Seven ‘hits ‘were made off McTighe and eight off :Jories. There was but a small attendance, and the field was in a decidedly soggy condi- tion. The game began’ at 4:12, and after three Innings McTighe settled down and allowed the visitors to scdre but twice. The runs made by the visitors in the first and third were secured by) hard hitting and fine base running’ susplemented by one or two slight misplays on the part of the home team. - The local boys showed decided improve- ment in their play and should make a strong bid for a high place in the local col- lege race. Barclay, for the visitors, led at the bat, making a home run and two singles out of the seven hits credited to his team. Field and McTighe led with the willow for the local team. The local boys had four errors in the field, while the visitors put up an errorless game, with the exception of a misplay by Walbridge at short.. The Lafayette team left this morning for Charlottesville, where it will play the Uni- versity of Virginia, returning here Satur- day to play Georgetown. E./ Lafayette.

COLLEGE RELAY RACES. Great Interest in the Coming Carni- val at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. Great interest is being taken by all the colleges in the relay races to be held at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, April 24. Yale has entered in the mile, and is expected to send a team for the four-mile event. La- fayette will send two one-mile relay teams, The Carlisle Indians have entered in the one and four-mile events, and Brown will send on a one-mile and a two-mile relay team. The last to make e double entry 1s Georgetown, who will place four mile run- ners in the field in the four-mile event. ‘Theodore McGirr, the ten-mile champion, is at Georgetown. ‘He is a fast miler and states that three others can be picked who can do close to 4 minutes 40 seconds. With such an average team the Georgetown boys should make an interesting fight for the race. Dartmouth has sent in its entry. At the Worcester indoor games early in February the Dartmouth team won the indoor relay championship, open to New England col- leges, defeating the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The management.-has re- ceived a communication from the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, stating the above and asking tp bé placed in the class with Dartmouth+’Phi¥ will be done. ae @ very interestipg race will be as- sured. ct Letters have been regelved from Brown and Holy Cross accepting the‘open two-mile event and expressing confidence in their teams to win it. Brown“¢laims to have two other men besides.the Wright brothers who can cover the distance, in | than 2 min- utes. A prominent Holy Cro’s graduate at the University of Pennpylvagiia volunteered the information that his t would surely win, as Monyhan and MéLaughlin can both run in 1 minute 58 nds, while a ‘new man there is equally ‘a8 faSt. This race, therefore, promises to ‘be one of the yery best on the program, Pennsylvania will also place a very fast in the field. The Western Univ 'y of; Pennsylvania has at last sent in an acgeptance and prom- ises to bring down a fast team. They will run against State Coltege. ° LOCAL CRICKET PROSPECTS, Plans of the Washington Club for the Coming Season. Much interest was mranifested by the memters of the Washington Cricket Club at their first meeting of the season held last evening at Willard’s Hotel to hear what progress had been made looking to the improved facilities tor playing during the ensuing season. The special committee, consisting of Messrs. Binney, Hoeker and Cherrington, appointed to select and pre- pare a suitable ground, announced that they had completed their work so far as the wicket iself was concerned, it having ‘The price is 50 cents, but you can first test it with a 10-cent trial 2. As a Catarrh cure ELY’S GHEAM DALAM ‘ins wonderful merit, all been relaid with the utmost care, the loca- tion being at Chevy Chase, within about 100 yards of the circte. They recommended undertaking further improvements, such as the erection of a suitable club house and the inclosing of the playing portion of the field. A vote of thanks was directed to be con- veyed to the retiring president, Rev. Dr. J. Macbride Sterrett, for the able manner in which he had discharged the duties of the office and for his untiring efforts on behalf of the club. The following gentlemen were admitted to membership: essrs. J. L. White, Geo. Truesdell, Paul Hines, G. F. Kinnear, Cy- rus Adler, S. W. Woodward, A. Portman, J. Holloway and C. J. McCubbin. The new ground is expected to be in con- dition for play some time in May. In the meantime the old ground at the corner of 18th and Columbia road will be used, the first practice taking place April 15. To stimulate interest and improve play it was decided to give a prize bat for the best bat- ting average, and a prize ball for the best bowling average for the season, the condi- tion being that the winner shall have play- ed in not less than three matches. A PUZZLING SITUATION. | Is Fitzsimmons Champion? If So, of Vhat He Champion? The “old sport” was pondering over the pugilistic championship when a Star re- porter ran across him today. “The situa- tion puzzles me,” he remarked, “and I am afraid I shall have to give up trying to understand it. The papers call Fitzsim- mons the champion of the world. But to my mind his claim to that distinction is far from clear. His defeat of Corbett could not in itself have given him the title, for the good and sufficient reason that Corbett did not have it to lose. Corbett won the championship of America from Sullivan and the championship of England from Mitchell, but there fs one man he failed to whip. That is Jackson, the champion of Australia, who, since his victory over Jim Smith, claims also the championship of England. When he fought Corbett to a craw in California a few years ago he was the undisputed champion of the bar- riers, and, as he has not suffered defeat since, and has not retired from the arena it is fair io assume, he still retains that title. It is currently reported that he is broken in health as a result of high liv- ing, but that may not be so. He {fs now in England, and, so far as known on this side of the water, he is still in the ring. At any rate, just before the fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons at Carson City he announced his willingness to fight the winner, “Similar propositions were made at the time by other fighters, viz: Maher, Sharkey and Goddard, and so far all have been quietly ignored. It is said by people who know the men that Fitzsimmons is not likely to meet Jackson if he can avoid it. They are both graduates of the Australian school of fighters, and came to this ccun- try about the same time. Fitzsimmons was one of Jackson’s pupils when the latter was the heavy-weight champion of Au- stralia. Fitzsimmons was then in the mid- dleweight class and was not considered an aspirant for heavyweight honors. Even after his successful entrance into the iat- ter class by his signal defeat of Maher and Creedon, and when he first tried tp get on a match with Corbett, ne did not think himself better than Jackson. This was demonstrated in the challenge he Is- sued to fight any man in the world, Corbett preferred, barring Peter Jackson. “Everybody familiar with the early ef- forts to bring about a mecting between Fitzsimmons and Corbett will remember that the former always barred Jackson by name in his otherwise sweeping challenges. He is probably confident now thet he can whip his former teacher, but it Is a fact nevertheless that heretofore he was al- ways shy of meeting him in the ring. I am inclined to agree with the general belief that Jackson is a ‘has been,’ but that don’t alter the fact that he is still the undefeated and undisputed champion of the Antipodes. Unless he retires, or is beaten by Fitzsimmons, I hold that the latter is not properly ‘champion of the world.’ “Then, again, Fitzsimmons’ claim to that title is marred by the Sharkey episode. He clearly outfought the sailor puzilist, Lut the latter got the decision on an alleged foul. The record of the meeting shows th it was won by Sharkey, and the facts in the case cannot alter it. In order to clear the record it is necessary that Fitz skould get a decision over that fighter the same as with all other men he has conquered. I have a great admiration for Fitz as a fight- er pure and simple, but I'll admit tiat his alleged intention to retire now that he has beaten Corbett, without attempting to defend the title he claims to have ac by that act, looks somewhat su Many people, myself among the number, are not aljtogether satisfied that he is a better man than Corbett, and, for myself, I fail to see why he should refuse to meet the latter again, especially as he can make a small fortune by a second victory. No matter what his pretext, it will be difficult to persuade the admirers of Corbett that if Fitz does not accept his challenge it is mainly because he ts afraid to take the chance of defeat. Fitz has always said that he fought for money and not for glory, but there will be reason to doubt that or to question his own sense of su- periority if he has really left the ring for good. “By the way, if Fitzsimmons has actually retired, what is the status of the cham- pionship? Fitz can’t be the retired cham- pion and the actual champion at the same time. In case of his retirement, who is the champion of America, for instance? Is it Corbett? Or Is it Maher, to whom the latter magnanimously surrendered it sev- eral months ago? Or would a contest be- tween those two and a second one between the winner and Sharkey be necessary to determine that question? These are some of the questions that perplex me, and none of the so-called sporting authorities to whom I have religiously applied seems to be able to pass intelligent judgment on the subject. Consequently I have concluded to leave it to time, the only safe arbiter of all things mundane.” L. A. W. Racing Board Completed. The racing board of the L. A. W. has been completed by the appointment of Hen- ry 8.

Thompson of New York yesterday, at Boston, defeated L. M. Stockton in the first match for the national court tennis championship, winning a straight three- set match. The score was 6-2, 6-3, 6-1.
