Caylor in today’s New York Her- ald reviews the New York-Washington game as follows > Rain has its varied uses. So has wind. These two elements jumped into the open- ing championship game of base ball at the Polo ground at ten minutes past 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and did more in the space of a few seconds to save New York from the onus of defeat than all of Captain Joyce’s men did in two hours. Therefore rain and wind each deserve an assist credit in the score of the contest. Sixteen thousand ‘spectators sat and stood for one hundred and thirty painful and nerve-racking minutes watching the Giants perferm in concert about as unscientifically as base ball can be played, uniess it be burlesqued. If everybody present—except, perhaps, a few hundred strangers—didu't know that the exhibition given by the New York team yesterday was a travesty upon their true abilities, the verdict would have been handed in this morning that eleventh Place is about their destination. The attendance was not equal to that of former years on opening days. It was not expected to be. Monday before a general holiday was the worst possible date that could have been chosen for an opening in New York, for some thousands were de- tained by extra work in preparation for the closing of business today who other- wise would have been sure of attendance at the inaugural championship ceremonies. With their customary bluff the Giants started off like easy winners. Van Haltren singled and “Dutch” Mike drove a two bagger between right and center fictds. This brief bluff caused the anxious multi- tude to fear that it would be so one-sided that the afternoon's sport would be dead- ered. But with these two preliminary fire- crackers the Giants ceased their brilliant werk. Gleason flied out to Cartwrizat, and then, while Joyce scratched an infield hit, “Van” scored. Davis gave Demont a grounder, which forced Joyce at second and wou!d have resulted in a double play had not O'Brien thrown wide to first. That was the visitors’ only errer of the zame, and it let Tiernan score the second run. After this inning the amount of the New Yorks’ batting was discouragingly small. They made six more hits in the eight in- nings, but three of the six were of the sus- picious kind which set the rooters into a division of opinion as to whether they should be scored hits cr errors. Winifred Mercer, that slim-faced, puny- coking young man, who seemed doomed every minute to fall from pure weakness, pitched for the Washingtons. He had a variety of eight or ten deliveries, from a rainbow drop to an 8 curve, and he mixed them up for the Gtants until a few of the boys looked as if a Keeley injection would relieve them. In a word, Mercer had them alraost wholly at his mercy after those first two hits. The tenth inning opened in the gloom of an approaching wind and rain storm. Do- heny fielded O'Brien's grounder, but Cart- wright got a Base on balls: Brown gave Doheny a grounder, ard “Eddie” threw wide to second. A passed ball advanced beth renners. Then Doheny made a balk and Cartwright walked home just as the storm burst. Two strings of the flags of all nations were blown loose from the grand- stand and went whirling over the diamond. The wind blew and the rain descended. “Game called,""-said Mr. Lynch, Ah-h-h-h! breathed the crowd. “Saved by the ele- ments’ is the epitaph!

From the New York Jourtal. With a cratkajack team behind him, what a wonder that young Mr. Mercer would be. Tom Brown is always doing surprising things. He hit the ball a two-base lick yesterday when everybody said it was out of the question for him to do sc. Washington's most sénsational play was a high jumping catch of a line hit by the | rejuvenated Mr. Relily of Pittsburg, Phil- adelpata and elsewhere. In the third inning Mercer made one o: those hits popularly known as “snr. hit: Getlig saw the ball, and was somewhere under ft, or thereabouts, but the bright rays of the sun blinded him, so that the ball dropped safely. Joyce made one base hit that was much | due to the efforts of Mercer to try to stop the ball. The yourg Washington pitcher, who, by the way, is ore of the best in the box today, put forth every effert to get the ball, but just managed to stop it, and so diverted its course that Joyce reached first in safety. DeMontreville, the Washingten whirl wind, has not been advertised too strongly He has a few things up his sleeves, both as a fielder and as a base ball orator. Furthermore, he commits thefts of bases im a style that must win admiration from the heart of the most scientific safe- breaker. A detail of militia from somewhere in the vicinity of Washington rooted with all the strength of their lungs for the Sena- tors. In the tenth inning, when the gale sprung up from the west, their shouts were forcible and so well-ditected that thcy shattered the brand new letter cards on the score board. But it didn’t do a bit pf good, for the umpire called the game and let it go at the ninth inning. In the Giants’ half of the second the ball suddenly disappeared. The umpire was digposed to look rather askance aé big Jim McGuire, the Washington catcher, who might have slipped the hide-bound sphere underneath his pneumatic chest protector. But the latter, by dumb show, managed to make Mr. Lynch believe that it had dis- appeared in a wocdchuck hole under the grand stand. Record of the Clubs. a L. tubs. W. L.

Cincinnati Won and in Consequence Ties Philndelphia for First Place. The Cincinnatis continued their good work yesterday, when they met the Cleve- land club at home, and won by 6 to 3. The “Spiders” were weak at the bat, while the Red Legs made their hits with men on bases. Little Richey, who is playing short for the’Cincinnatis until Tommy Corcoran reports, put up another game of the sen- sational order and secured a single and a triple. The playing of the Indian, Sock- alexis, for the Clevelands, was the feature of that club's playing, securing two singles and a double. H.0.

Time— Uany Brooklyn Defeated Baltimore. After reading the score of yesterday's game in Baltimore, where the home club was cefeated by Brooklyn by the score ot 4 to 3 in ten innings, the locgl enthusiasts should cease their wondering why the Sen- ators dropped two games to the Trolley Dodgers. The Brooklyn team {s a strong one, and Manager Barnie inas ejected enough life into them to bring out exhibi- tens of ball play of which they are cap- able. Both clubs had an error apiece, but the Brooklyns easily outbatted the Orioles and won on this feature.

Little Hagerman, the Capitol Hill boy, had eleven chances at second base and got them all, besides mak- ing two singles. Manager Barnie made a good move yes- terday when he signed Pitcher McMahon, late of Baltimore, to help out the Brooklyn pitching corps. The Trolley Dodgers are none too strong in the box, and, should McMahon prove the least effective, they will be strengthened wonderfully. Harry O'Hagan’s Newark team of the Atlantic League shut out the Athletics of Philadelphia yesterday by 2 to 0. "Hagan played without an error, but failed to hit safe. Richmond won from Lancaster yesterday by the score of 9 to 7, a1 the Norfolk boys played Reading to a standstill, the score being 4—4 in the ninth inning, when the game was called. Not a bad day’s work for the old dominton. Cincinnati is tied with Philadelphia for first place, both having won four and lost none, and the Quaker city papers have started in roasting the local team because they didn’t win yesterday's game with Boston. The Phillies’ good work of last week seems to go for nothing. Charley Snyder has settled in a nice berth in the Atlantic League as umpire, and handled the indicator at Newark yes- terday without a kick being registered. The rain that knocked out the Cincin- nati-Chicago game last Sunday was a heart-breaker for the management. Nearly 2,000 people were outside the gates at 2 o'clock, waiting for it to clear off, and 3500 worth of reserved seat tickets had been sold the day before. It was calculatea that nearly 20,000 persons would have at- tended the game. ‘A large attendance of local enthusiasts was in evidence at Kernan’s yesterday afternoon, and yelled like Indians wher the Senators made a good play or rapped out a telling hit. Cartwright’s two-bag- ger caught them all off their guard, as they knew it all, and said he would strike out. The second game of the New York-Wash- ington series wilt, be played this after- noon. Rusie wil robably pitch for the home club and Kite for the Senators. As it is a holiday oyer,in New York, a great turnout is expected: The Atlantic League. The Atlantic League bese ball season opened in four jgitjes yesterday before crowds which are;not exceeded in some of the big league cities. Newark succeeded in shutting out the%Athletics of Philadelphia in a fine contest’ of pitchers; at Norfolk, Va, the game with Reading ended in a tie on account of darkness. Richmond at home won from Lancaster, and Hartford lost the first game before a home audience to Paterson, N. Ji ‘fhe umpires are Messrs. Snyder, Cline and McNamera. AN EARNED RUN DEFINED. == President Young Explains the Rule for rs” Benefit. President Young of the National Base Ball League has made the following an- nmouncement: “I have received several communications asking for an official mnterpretation of the ruie (section 9, rule 71) relative to earned runs. An earned run ts a run that reaches home base without the aid of a fielding or battery error. A ‘stolen base’ cannot cut apy figure, although there is no chargeable error, still, some one is at fault in one of several ways, which would not justify the scoring of a fielding error. A base runner who makes a base hit, and is advanced a base by a successful sacrifice hit, is entitled to the credit of an earned run, if he reaches home base before chances have been offered io retire his side. The section must be con- sidered intelligently, as a whole, and not in part, and admits of no other fair interpre- tation.” EPSOM. RACING AT Metropolitan Stpkes Wo iman. The Epsom spring meeting of two days opened today, with brilliant weather. The Prince of Wales was present, and there was an unusual turnout of coaches. The Great Metropolitan stakes was won by Mr. Higham’s Soliman, C. Morbi's Glen- tilt second, and J. 5. Platt’s Hattie third. The race was a handicap event of 1,000 Sovereigns. There. were ten starters, and the course was about two and a quarter miles long. Great by LONDON, Apr: WILL BE A GREAT RACE. The Two Cracks of the Pacific Count to Come Together. The much-talked-of race between Buckwa ard Ruinart, the two greatest race horses on the Pacific coast, has been practicaily arranged for. R.

The weights are to be fixed by the official handicapper, who will probably not make more than three pounds difference between the horses. It is generally understood that not more than 125 nor less than 115 pounds will be award- ed. While no date has been set the race will probably be run this week. W. D. Randall, cwner of Salvation, ex- pressed a desire to make it a three-corner- ed race, saying he would start his horse in a sweepstakes for any amount up to $3,000, but 4s Salvation has just been blis- tered he will not ‘be in shape to race this week. 9bt Tillie Andessdn’s New Record.

TIBERAL PATRONAGE A FEATURE | Scores. of Attractive Women in Charge of the Booths. Sg INCIDENTS OF THE EVENT : ee There was an immense crowd of people last night at Gonzaga Hall, the occasion being the opening of the fair which is io be held this week ard next for the benefit of the building fund, and the managers hope to clear $7,000. This, it is thought, will be accomplished shouid the attendance continue to be as large as it was last nignt. The patrons were extremely liberal, and the night's receipts were larger than had been expected. Befcre the fair was for- mally opened by Archbisaop Martinelli, there was a large gathering in the main hall to listen to the opening address of Representative J. E. Fitzgerald of Massa- chusetts, who was listened to attentively and liberally applaud2d. He was presented by the Rev. Father Gillespie, who mede a few remarks about the building cf the hall and the effort being made to raise money. to pay for it. Mr. Fitzgerald said he was glad to have’ the pleasure of addressing so large an au- dience of the best people of the city, and he was also glad that he was permitted to speak for so good a cause. He bad re- ceived his training under the Jesuits, amd he knew they were people worthy of the confidence and supp: of all the pecple who favor higher education. No man, he said, should be ashamed to acknowledge that he is a Catholic. It was only in 1898, four years ago, that inis coun- try celebrated an incileat connected with the discovery of Amorica, and c:his was dene by a Catholic, Columous. He then referred to Catholics who had ‘distinguished themselves in the various wars, as well as those who had served their country in other respects. Gonzaga College, he teld his hearers, had a distinguished citizen and scholar for its leader, Rev. Father Gitles- pie. He has always been, an still is, a zealous worker in behalf of the college, and has the welfare of the peopie at beart, which is, of course, for the people's benefit. He said many other words ot praise fcr the president of the college, and hoped the peopie would be generous in patronising the fair. When he had concluded his re- marks the audience filed from the hall to the fair room, and there Archbishop Mar- tinelll gave the customary b! ins, and the fair was opened. = The Committees in Charge.
