Von Rodeastein, Bat j "tert aml hers ON ee ES ee SE SAW THE /PRE SIDENT Washington's Team Presented to the oe INVITED 0 OPEN THE SEASON Al. Maul Signs a Contract for the CONFIDENCE: IN HIS ARM President McKinley dispiayed his inter- est in the national game today by stopping the flow of office seekers into his office at the White House while he received the officers and players of the Washington Base Ball Club, accompanied by President Young of the Naticnal League. The inter- view was arranged through Secretary Por- ter by Secretaty Robb of the lecal club. At 12 o'clock Secretary Robb marshaled the club at the White House, but it was nearly 1 o'clock before the President was able to receive them. As the club filed into the private room of the chief magistrate they all lred up in a semi-circle and were presented by Mr. Porter, secretary to the President. President Young was presented first, taen Earl Wagner, Manager Gus Schmelz and the remainder of the team. The President had quite a little chat with Manager Schmelz when the latter recalled the fact that in 1892, while governor of Ohio, the President had thrown the first ball into the diamond for the Columbus club, of which he was then manager, and that the club had won the championship that season of the Western League. The action of the President: at that time was taken as a good-omen and Manager Schmelz intimated that the same office, if performed by the President for the Washington club at the opening of the championship race next Thursday, might land the Senators winners !n 1807. The Pres‘dent smited and replied that he rersembered the. incident very well indeed, ard that if he saw his way clear hé wouid repeat the performance at National Park Thursday. All the players were immenscly. pleased with their experience at the White Hous: ard their expressions as they came out of the Executive Mansion, while not strictly elegant, were expressive and to the point. Captain Tom Brown, who is a little su- perstitious, as old players are wont to be, suid’ “How can we icse after that? We" got the pennant suret’ Charley Reilly, the new third baseman, ith an enthusiastic and expressive shake of his head, remarked: ‘“‘He’s as fine as sik Win. Mercer, Ed. Cartwright, Al. Selbach, jim McGuire and Hillary Swaim took the troduction like: thoroughbred politicians, and cne of them remarked thai tiey had seen the President mony times before, as their homes are not far from Canton, and thai the Washington club should be re- named the “Buckeyes,” on account of tas large contingent hailirg from Ohio.

After this business transaction Eat!

WHAT PRESIDENT YOUNG SAY Arbitration Bonrd Did Not Consider the Rasic Cane. This has been a busy week for President Young of the National Rase Ball Leagu He was absent from league headquarie until Thursday, attending the mecting of the national board of arbitration. He de- clares that the much-talked about Rusie case was not before the beard for consid- eration, in spite of all that has been pub- lished on the subject. He says the bos was engaged in other business, disposing of a number of minor cases pending before the board. So far as the Ruste case is con- cerned, Mr. Young says the league is noc considering it. The controversy Is between Mr. Freedman and Rusie, and Mr. Freed- man appears to be very weil satistied with the position he occupys in the dispute, and he is also very hopeful about his club. When Mr. Young returned to league head- quarters he found several telegrams from the yarlous club managers applying for a supply of base bails With which to open the n. Accordingly he immediately ship- ped.to cach club six dozen regulation balls. As the season advances further shipments will be made in accordance with the re- quests of the vartoud clubs. It is part of the system for Mr. Young to weigh and measure every bali/tat is used in a chem- plonship contest. ¢ baits are first ship- ped to him, and affer he tnspects them they are marked and sealed by him, and the seal is not peek until the umpire does the act on the ball field. Besides ¢istribut' @he balls, Mr. Young has been busy making out his assignment of umpires for thé opening games. He is guarding the sceret of his staff and their instructions and assignments with a zeal that is commendable. He has had over five hundred applications for appointment to the staff of w 8 this season, conse- quently It was no easy task to select seven men from such.a ytde, field. The staff will Gorstst of Lynch, Hurst, Emslie, Sheridan, McDermott, O'Day and McDonald. Presideit Young will not indi- cate what the assignments are, for he wants the umpire's designations to be un- known until they walk upon the field and call play. PRACTICH FOR THE PITCHERS. Five Innings ef Clever Work in the Box. The game yesterday afternoon at Nation- al Park Between the Washington and Richmond ¢lubs for five innings was as pretty a sight as anything that has been seen out that way for mary seasons. Pitcher Stuitz was on the rubber for the Virginia Blue Birds, amd the way he foot= €d the senatorial players was~a revelation. ‘The plucky lttte felow had a speedy drop that fooled the best of thei, amu, after striking out, the batters would acknew!- edge that the deception was of the regular order and mirus the flukey possibilities. Stuitz kept his good work up until the sixth inning, when a couple of lucky hits over the inftelders’ heads and a little wild- ness on his pert placed himself and com- panions in a hole, and, as a resuit, a run ‘was forced over the plate and two others came in on the safe hits. another pitcher, the ex-Washington play- er, Molesworth. This chubby feliow pitch- ed about fifteen balls without coming near the plate, allowing three bases on balls and hitting the next man up, and Manager Wells decided to stop the farce by substi- tuting still another twirler. This time the substitute, C! proved of some value, because the hitting was checked to a cer- tain extent and the runs that came over the plate were few and far between. Should Chesbro be started in the with everything even he will undoubtedly prove a winner. Mercer was the first pitcher up for the Senators and he devoted nis entire atten- tion to practicing his slow curve. The Richmond boys hit it quite frequently, but had “Win” desired to make a record he would have mixed them up and the result would have been disastrous to the batters. After pitching five innings Norton came to the box for the Senators and gave a display of twirling that demonstrated that this plucky little fellow is fit and ready for the professional season to start. His com- mand of the ball is good and he, like Mer- cer, is gaining control of a siow twisting ball that will prove a winner against the best batters in the big league. The feature of the game outside of the pitching departments, was the playing of Elberfeld at third for the Richmonds and the clock-like regularity of the infield work of the Senators, DeMontreville’s bad thro to first being the only play that had a semblance of an error.

In his first game he made forty-nine moves in twenty- five minutes. One of the surprises was the defeat of Tibbetts by Smith. Mr. Tibbetts defeated both Wright and Hanna in the late tourney.

The Washington Chess Club has placed its rooms at the disposal of the congress- men who are to compeie with members of parliament in a cable match both for pur- poses of practice and for the match, if de- sired. Several of the members have availed themselves of this privilege, and are prac- lucing daily. The club is interested in the success of the American team, and its members afford the congressmen an oppor- tunity to meet players who are in constant practice and who are rated among the best in the city. Mr. D. 8. Robinson, one of the crack play. ers of the Franklin Club of Philadelphia was in the city the past week and met sey- eral of the local players in off-hand play. With F. B. Walker he won 2 and lost 1: with W. A. Gwyer. Jr., he won 4 or 5 to 1, and with Mr. Wright it was 3 to 0 and a draw.

The prize will be highly creé‘table. > Mrs. Hawley’s team, which now holds work, many times being applauded by the audience for their quick passing and sprightly dodging. For the success attained during the sea- son the cadets are indebted first to Mr. T. B. Davis, the captain of the team, who is recognized as one of the best forwards in the city. He participated in all the league games, and not only did credit to him- self, but to the team for which he has worked so hard. The next one to be thanked is Mr. Jos. Dodge, who aiso plays forward. He has always played a strong game, and especial credit is due him in the last game played with the Easterns, in which he deposited four balls in the basket for the Cadets. The next one is Mr. Frank Collins, also a forward, who is noted for his one-hand throws. He also plays a very strong game, possessing an enviable reputation as a “passer.” Mr. Milton Clark, who plays center, comes in for his share of the credit. He not only managed to jump higher than most of the centers, but in nearly every game put in one or more balls for the Cadets. The Cadets are indebted to the backs, Messrs. Jos. Guista, L. A. Boulay and the woman's whist trophy, is playing most excellent whist. Several evenings ago they played against Messrs. Low, Wooten, Bing: ham and Madame ce Sibour, and defeate: them by seven tricks.
