PLAY IN RICHMOND The Senators Will Not Be Seen on the Home Grounds Today. PRINCETON MEETS GEORGETOWN AGAIN Successful Opening of the Meet- ing at Benning. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES Manager Schmelz and thirteen Sefiators left last evening for Richmond, where two games will be played with the club repre- senting that city, today and tomorrow. This is a hoodoo number, and the Senators may have their continuous string of vic- tories broken, but when {ft comes down to paying car fare and board bills unlucky numbers do not cut much of a figure with the manager of a base ball club. Charley Farrell, whose stiff neck is com- ing around nicely; Lester German, Al Maul, John Gimbie, “Zeke” Wrigiey, “Shep” Nor- ton and Steve Ashe were out at the grounds this morning keeping themselves in shape, as it was decided that they would not be needed in Richmond, as only two games will be played. German meade the circuit of the entire field about twenty times in his endeavor to pull down his weight, and the way his clothes looked after the run indicated that he had lost about ten pounds this mernirg. Al Maul was knocking fites to Wrigley and Norton and chasing them all over the field to the great amusement of the onlookers. Kimble, Ashe and Far- rell were taking turns at the bat, and in the box trying the different positions to get a bunt ball to first and third. These players will go out on.the diamond twice a day while-the remainder of the team is playing in Virginie. Wrigley Not for Sale. In regard to the reported negotiations be- tween Manager Hanlon and Earl Wagner, looking to the sale of Wrigley, Mr. Wagner says that the Baltimore menager might just as well try to buy DeMontreville or Selbach as the Senators’ efficient substi- tute infielder. Mr. Wagner and Manager Schmelz have agreed upon the necessity of keeping a substitute infielder, and are con- fident that Wrigley is one of the best men for this position in the country, and if played regularly at shortstop would prove ne of the greatest finds of the year. As regards Jennings’ good right arm piaying him false, Mr. Wegner said he had heard rumors of the fact, bat could! pee say from personal knowledge that such was the case. If Jennings should go back- ward in his play the Baltimore club is doomed, and too much money could not be paid, and paid quickly, for a first-class man to take his place. ~A big force of men are at work this morn- ing at National Park, Greundkeeper Miller, with several assistants, mowing the grass, while the others are putting up awnings, stringing wires and painting the newly erected fences and seats, and the indica- tions are that everything will look as fine as possible when the opening game is play- ed next Thu: y- McMahon Released. John McMahon, once Baltimore's greatest pitcher, at which time he was without a superior, is no longer an Oriole. On Satur- dsy he was promised his unconditional re- lease by Manager Hanlon, upon the pay- ment of his training expenses in the south. His formal release will be sent him when Mr. Hanlon receives th> money to cover ex- penses. It is the general impression that McMahon will sign with either Philadelphia or New York, and the probabilities are that Manager Joyce will secure him. Mac must still be worth something when he holds himself at $2,400, and Louisville ts willing to take him at that price whenever he gets good and ready to go there. Pleasant for the Senators. The Philadelphia Press of yesterday had the following to say of this season’s Wash- ingtoa club: A great many persons have a good opinion of the Washington club's chances for a place in the first division. The Senators have been coming gradually to the front for several seasons, and last year they made a pretty stiff fight until Memorial day. This year they are likely to continue their stand even longer, but while Manager Schmelz has a mighty fine team, if the Senators reach a higher place than the top of the second division they will Prove one of the surprises of the year. For the first three months they may be expected to keep their percentage above the .500 mark; after that, though, their average should sink perceptibly. Charles Abbey, Substitute Outfielder. Manager Schmelz believes in sticking to a good player until he has demonstrated that he is worthless as a ball player, or it is impossible for him to retain the pla¥er on account of bad habits. Back in ’92 Man- ager Schmelz signed Charley Abbey to play the center fleld position for the Columbus ‘Western League team, and his worth as a player and a gentleman has led to his re- tention under his management ever since. Abbey began playing professional ball in 1891 with the §t. Paul, Minn., club, and when that club disbanded with the Western le, he went to the Portland, Ore., team and finished the season. With both these clubs Abbey’s work was of the tip- bes 1 order, gaining him enthusiastic praise wherever his team played. The Portland club went down to San Francisco to play for the Pacific coast championship and wiped up the earth with the club repre- senting that city. In 1892 Abbey first saw Manager Schmelz and played under his management witti the Columbus, Ohio, club until the Western League gave up the ghost. In 1893 Manager Schmelz took charge of the Chattanooga, Tenn., South- ern e team and one of the first men he signed was C bbey. His work was so gcod with the last named team that when Mr. Wagner signed Mr. Schmelz to wauege the Senators he was again one of the first players to be singled out to accompany him to this city. That was in the middie of the season of ‘98, and for the remainder of that season, ‘94, Lush, Selbach and Cartwright were about the only players that didn’t secure at least one hit. Swaim, German and Kimble went on the rubber for the Senators and the “Blue Birds” from connecting with “the ball when a hit meant a run. = The fielding of the hmond boys was all that could be “In the face of the heavy cannonading, Jittie Elberfield and Berte went after everything and it was a rare occasion when the:ball got away from them. But twe errors. were chalked up the entire team, and when the heavy hitting is considered the showing really remarkable. On the Senators’ si! Selbach in left performed a couple of re- tmarkable feats, one of is backward run- ning catches being the’ feature of the game. Wrigley replaced DeMontreville at short, and, witile his-work was really very good, the comparison swith the peeriess lit- tle fellow from Capitol! Hill makes his work take on a yell tinge. Abbey in center also secured a couple of black marks, but his ee started the fun in the eighth inning; when three runs came over the plate. Taking in the entire three games it would look from an unbiased point of view that the Richmond club is not as strong as the Norfolk team outside the pitcher's box. With the exception of Elberfield there does not seem to be a heavy sticker on the team, while the Norfolks have several. But in the box the Richmond team is well fortified and should be able to make a good showing of the Atlantic League. COLLEGE BASE BALL. Jayne's Pitching Wan Too Much for the Georgetown's. Owing to the masterly pitching of Jayne of Princeton and some very yellow fielding Georgetown lost Saturday’s game to Princeton. Jayne let Boston down with five hits recently. With the exception of Fleming none of the Georgetown boys could do anything with htm. Fleming made all three of the hits credited to Georgetown. Princeton knocked Clancy out of the box in the third, and Bach was put tn, faring considerably better, allowing the Tigers but two more hits. His support, however, was miserable. Princeton's game was like clockwork, and the only error made was a wild throw by Jayne in the first. The score: R.H.E. Princeton... 0 0 7000 1 2 x-10 81 Georgetown.100000000-135 Georgetown and Princeton play a sec- ond game this afternoon on Georgetown field at 4:15 o'clock. Walsh will probably pitch.

Bostons Will Celebrate Concord Day by Playing the Phillies. The twenty-second championship season of the National League of Base Ball Clubs will open this afternoon at Boston with a game between the Philadelphia and Boston clubs. It will be a solitary championship engagement, moved up three days before the regular opening on account of a special holiday advantage. April 19 is universally observed in Massachusetts as “Concord Day.” having taken the place of Fast day a couple of years ago by special act of the legislature. ‘Thursday the ema will open with ‘The the twelve clubs ar against one an- other. The Washingt6fs! on that day will have the Brcoklyns fer their opponents; New York will play in’ Philadelphia; Bos- ton at Baltimore; Pittsburg at St. Louis; Cleveland at Louisville. and Chicago at Cincinnati. 1 Geler Crowded Out. The Washington playér, Geier, who has been signed by Philadélphia, has been crowded out of the shortstop position on that team by Gillen. The latter is a better fielder than Geler, byt alls far short of being the sticker the, Washington lad ts. The Phillies have so many good hitters that it is thought to be the best move to play Gillen at short and trust to his good play- ing in that position to“imake up for his weak hitting. Dowd Goes After Bjerbauer. Manager Dowd of the St. Louis club has gone to Erie, Pa., after Louis Bierbauer, who signed a contract to play in the mound city the coming season, but concluded to retire, as his business in the lake city has been paying him very well. Dowd says he will get “Bauer” to St. Louis if money will do the act. RACIN WAS EXCELLENT. Auspicious Opening of the Meeting at Benning. To “Father Bill” Daly went the distinc- tion of winning Saturday at the Benning Trace course the first race of the season of 1897 ir the east, when his three-year-old colt Prompt finished in front of Tender- ness and Billali and several others in the five-furlong introductory scramble of the second spring meeting of the Washington Jockey Club. No meeting ever opened more attractively, for the attendance was large, the weather favorable, the track in very fair shape, while the racing was excellent. In fact, everything pointed to one of the most enjoyable and successful meetings ever held here, and as the public backed the winners in about every event, and the city was reached before 6 o'clock on the return home every one was delighted with the day’s fine sport. : The track and grounds were in excellent condition, and the various events were run in clocklike order, the meeting being con- ducted under the auspices of the Jockey Club and presided over by the same racing officials seen on the big New York tracks. Of course there was betting, but Robert Pinkerton, in charge of the grounds, an- rounced in the betting ring before the first race that the law against bookmaking would ve rigidly enforced by the authori- ties, assisted by the club officials. He ex- plained that there would, therefore, be no display of odds, no soliciting, no money or tokens exchanged, and that any one vio- lating the law would be promptly arrested. Mr. Pinkerton’s instructions were strictly observed, the betting following being con- ducted on the New York hand-book plan. The event of the day was the Arlington stakes, for two-year-olds, at half a mile, the Morris’ full brother to Prompt, Cherry Picker, at 3 to 1, finishing a length and a half in front of R. W. Walden’s Money Spinner, which was a neck to the good of F. R.-and T. Hitchcock's Choir Boy. The race was run in .51 2-5, rather good time for the track, which was slow because of 's Prompt was § to 1, ett, the winner of the second race, Aes being the 9 to 10 favorite. Gee Gee was a 8 to 5 favorite for the fourth race, at six furlongs, for three-year-old maidens, but W. P. Burch’s Junk, at 6 to 1, won rather easily, being heavily"iplayed by the local poor. + of Today there will be fiva.races on the flat, including the Federal, Stakes, at six and morrow there wil sotfree fer ies, oo; wi tour Faces and the Easter St. at two miles.

The Australian base’ ball team made its first appearance at San Francisco yester- day in a game, and suffered defeat at the hands of the Olympics: score, 20 to 9. The Australians batted ahd ran bases well, but were slow in the field. They also showed lack of knowledge of the fine points of the game. The Olympic team was composed of amateurs, and they had no trouble in fooling the foreigners. Base ball was in- troduced in Australia ei years the Chicago and "All-American teams, & their tour around the world. The sport found favor at once, and the Australians became so well satisfied with their pro- gress that they started on a trip to this country to show what they could do. Corcoran Cadets ’Nine. ‘The Cocoran Cadets won two games the last two weeks, the first from the R. Harris & Co. team by 14 to 2.
