PARADE OF OPPOSING TEAMS Last Preliminary Game to Be Played Today. SS CURRENT SPORTING NOTES —__+—____ SOSSSSOGO8OG80G0080 ‘The Senators will play their last practice game this afternoon with the Catholic Uni- versity, game being called at 4:15. Tom Brown has been coaching the university boys for the past couple of months, and a good showing ts expected from them. Mc- Tighe will probably pitch again today for the university, although his work of yes- terday, while being of the most sensational order, was done under the most discourag- ing circumstances, the fielders back of him giving very poor support. The three new pitchers, Swaim, Kimball and Ashe, will do the twirling for the Senators. Opening of the Season. Tomorrov-"s game between the Brooklyn and Washington clubs is the talk of the town, and should the weather tomorrow be favorable an immense crowd will undoubt- edly be present. Several hundred invita- tions have been sent out by the manage- ment to the President, cabinet, senators, representatives and judges and officials of the different courts, and it fs expecied that a large majority of the invitations will be accepted. In the morning both clubs will have a short parade in carriages, preceded by Pistori's Band on a tally-ho. For the benefit of those patrons who do not want to get into the crush for tickets at the gate, Mr. Wagner has arranged to open the tiek- et office in the morning from 9 to 12, and also place on sale at Scanlon’s billiard hall the general admission and reserve seat tickets, James McGuire, Catcher. “Old Reliabie’ James McGuire will com- mence his eighth season with the Washing- ton club tomorrow. Jim has never been in better condition than he is this spring, and the way he hit the bail in the two games at Richmond demonstrated that his old ability with the bat is still retained. McGuire has been playing professional ball twelve years, having started with the Cleveland club in 1834 as a catcher, and has filled that position ever since. In July of that year the Cleveland club dropped out of base ball and McGuire went to the Toledo (American Association) club, and finished the season. In 1885 Mac was sold to the In- dianapolis club, and in the middle of the Season the entire team was transferred to Detroit and he finished the season with the latter club. 1886 the “Big Four” deal was made and McGuire, Wood and Casey figured in it to the extent that these three pla: were given to Philadelphia with the under- standing that that club would not oppose the transfer of Brouthers, -Richardson, White and Rowe from the Buffalo to the Detroit club. McGuire did extraordinary work with the Philadelphia club for the re- snainder of the season and also played with the Quakers throughout the season of 1887. He was released in the early part of 1588 by the Phillies, going first to Detroit and then back to his first love, the Clevelands. The Toronto club caught McGuire in 1889, and in 1890 he signed with the Rochester club. This was the year that Jim regained his form, his playing behind the bat being of such a high order that the players in the same position with the other clubs were made to look like selling platers slongside a@ stake horse. The management of the Washington club then put out their hocks for McGuire, and in the spring of 1891 James McGuire became a Senator. No mat- ter whether the Washington club was in the American Association or National League, McGuire was retained behind the bat for the local club, and throughout Lis seven years’ term in this city he has al- ways been considered in-the front rank of catchers in the big organizations. Away back in 1888 was the only time that McGuire's good right arm ever played him false, and since that time that useful mem- ber has been as strong as iron. Outside of the first-class exhibitions Mac gives behind the bat, he is really the hardest hitter on the club, and ranks up with the top notch- ers in the league. DeMontreville and he stand in the same relative positions as Bur- kett and Delehanty. Mont will make more hits In the season, or rather did last year, but for clean, hard hits Mac almost ru: neck and neck with the favorite Philadel- phia player. As a man to handle, Manager Schmeiz says McGuire is a shining light for young players to follow, as he does little talking, but devotes all his energies to following the game. Although McGuire ts a quiet fellow, he is not above enjoying a good joke, as “Jimmy’” McJames will testify, and hun- dreds of young players will bear witness to the fact that they recetved many an en- SSS00S SE0SS 680096 SEO FES OOSEOTSOS SOCEODTODSSE0S COSOSESOSEODEEROODESOOS Special Sale of the Becker Stock of Lot 768—Neat Over-plaid Bike Suit, Pants made in bloomer PSOOSS9S6 © style.

EASY FOR THE SENATORS. "ns Pitchers Were Batted =n nare and Opportanely. ‘The Senators went at the Richmond club yesterday in that city tooth and nail, and ‘as a result the score at the end of the ninth irning was 14 to 5 in their favor. King and Mercer were in the box for the Washington club, and, although they were hit quite lively, the necessary hit was wanting when it meant runs. Stultz, who did such clever work in this city, and Schmidt were the twirlers for the “Blue Birds,” and their reputations suffered quite a severe shock when fhe total of base hits was computed at the end of the game. DeMontreville, Cartwright, O’Brien, Reilly and McGuire did the best batting for the Senators and registered a total of seven stolen bases, the 2928609999998 599 850 95008 @ People are rode cific proofs—do find no part of a most unimportant estly done—as if CLINE BROS., Vietor Agents—Dealers in Athletic Goods, | 909 Pa.

Notwithstanding President Freedman's denial that Pitcher Ruste had signed with his club for the coming season, a telegram came to President Yékink(of the National League last night @pout,6 o'clock from Rusie, announcing thatMé had signed a New York contract, and it the document was on its way to Wasliihgton. This closes up ong,of,the most sensa- tional base ball controversies in the history of the game, wherely a'flayer figured as the central figure. The bigrpitcher has very likely been promise: it year’s salary, his fine of $200, andghig gawyers’ fees by the other eleven clubs Of*the league.

FAVORITES STILL WINNING. fi : oe A Small but Successfal a at Benning ‘¥esterda: i Agat®: four first chojces won at the Ben- ming track yesterday afternoon, the other race going to an outsider. The attendance | was the smallest of the meeting, because of the cold weather ahd the light ‘card, and the successful horses..won with such ease that the racirg wag rather tame. The stake event was thn aster steeple- chase over the short course, about .two miles. Four faved the starter—Peconic, Mars Chan, Decapod and Erie—and they finished in that order. That is, the first three finished, Erie falling at the obstacle before reaching the water jump. Peconie, well ridden by English, was made a 3 to 5. favorite, and raced in front of his field all the way, winning with ease by fifteen or twenty lengths. Decapod, who was the 2 to 1 second choice, could not run a little bit, and was twenty or more lengths be- hind Mars Chan, who was sixes, Erie being at 20 to 1. It was the winner's first race for two years, and the first one over the jumps. ‘ The other winnerg were Gee Gee, at 3 to 1; Sly Fox, at 3 to 10; Her Own, at 12 to 1, and Dutch Skater at 11 to 20. Today's program calls for five races on the flat, the stake event being the Mount Vernon for two-year-old fillies and geldings at half a mile. COLLEGE BASE BALL, Remarkable Exhibition of Pitch at National Park. There was an exhibition of pitching yes- terday at National Park that has prob- ably never been equaled on the collegiate diamond. The teams were the Catholic University of this city and Lehigh. Le- high has been winning games right and left on her southern trip, and her work has proved her right and title to a high place in the college list. ‘The Catholic Uni- versity has a pitcher named McTighe, who has at various times fooled college bat- ters, as well as those of other base ball teams, and he was depended upon yester- day to stop the victorious career of the Lehigh aggregation. With ordinary sup- rt he would have succeeded, but as it ‘was Lehigh won by a sccre of 10 to 7, Per winning the game in the first hrough errors of Twohy and Collins. McTighe struck out twenty-two men and allowed but six hits to be made off his delivery, five of which were weak infield hits, that might have been handled by a quicker team. He was not only rather poorly supported in the fleld, but was not backed up well behind the bat. Without doubt this is one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of pitch'ng, with regard to strike-outs, that has ever been given in this city, and probably cen the diamond. White of the Lehigh tcam also pitched g good game, allowing the local an six hits and striking out Afteen men. is makes a@ total of thirty-seven strike- outs for the game. White had much the better support. The score: C.D. of A, Bei-o.ant ---- =F 2°00 OP n'y, as.
