CURRENT SPORTING NOTES LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 12.—The twenty- third Kentucky Derby will be run this af- ternoon over a heavy course. Six of the best three-year-olds in the west will face the starter, as follows: Ornament, ch. c., by Imp. Order—Victo- rine (Clayton), 117. Ben Brown, b. c., by Belvidere—Imp. Mrs. Gorsip (Ballard), 117. Dr. Catlett, ch. c., by Imp. Candlemas— Alterna (R. Williams), 117. Typhoon: IL, ch. c., by Imp. Top Gallant— Dolly Varden (Garner), 137. Dr. Sheppard, b. c., by Buchanan—Vol- tine (J. Hil), 112. Goshen, b. c, by Imp. Glenelg—Duchess May (Wiihite), 117. Ornament, on his two-year-old form, is the logical favorite, though every colt in the race has a strong following. All indications point to an attendance of fully 25,000, which will be a recérd breaker. Record of the Clubs. 3 Another game full of red fire and side lights was played yesterday at National Park between the Baltimore and Wash- ington clubs, and the visitors secured their first victory of the season over the home club. From beginning to end the game was full of accident, incidents and surprises. The accidents came in the shape of a run-in be- tween Jack Doyle, who went flying out into right field after a high fly and smashed into little Keeler, knocking out a tooth and cutting off a piece of the lower Hip of the latter, to say nothing of the shock of the collision. There is nothing yellow about the little right flelder’s make-up, and after a few minutes’ delay he returned to his posi- tion and the game went on. Then DeMon- treville got in front of an ugly bounder and a big bruise on the shoulder followed, and a short time afterward a ball thrown by Cartwright collided with his other shoulder, and another rubbing down had to follow. In the fourth inning that shifty hitter Stenzel met a slow one on the end of the bat and down it went toward Reilly like a bullet from a rifle. Charley made a game effort to fleld the ball, but it caromed on his breast bone with a dull thud, and be- fore the ball could be recovered the Ger- man from Pittsburg was on first. ‘The incidents were the run in between Umpire Hurst and Jack Doyle, and the talking match between the arbitrator and little McGraw. Doyle no doubt thought the kick of the day before could be carried over into yesterday’s game, but Timothy Hurst had taken a good sleep, and decided to use different tactics, with the result that the scrappy first baseman was first fined” $25 and then put on the bench. This didn’t } seem to be strong enough medicine to keep him quiet, and he was ordered off the fleld. Doyle finaly. brought up among the jury that sits on elevated benches against the Freedman’s Hospital, and‘no doubt poured out his woes to sympathetic listeners. The surprises were furnished by the really sensational throwing to second base by “Duke” Farrell, and the error making of DeMontreville. Farrell has been tipped off frequently of late as having a lame shoulder, and the Orioles no doubt heard the reports and decided on stealing bases, but after Charley had made selling platers out of their fleetest runners they left off ir attempts at pilfering. eiittle DeMontreville 1s only human and bound to make misplays, but to charge him with carelessness is almost an outrage. It is just such errors that makes him valua- ble to the team, as he goes after every- thing and never thinks of his record, but he fields so well almost continuousty that when he makes slip-ups everybody is sur- prised. Mercer was due to pitch yesterday, and the combination could not be shifted, con- sequently he went to the slaughter like a little lamb. “Win” can pitch the best ball in the records of the game against the birds from Oysterville, but It always goes for naught. Under the circumstances of his past record against the birds, it appeared to ali the spectators that almost any pitch- er on the staff would have deen better off in the box than the brunette boy from the buckeye state. To begin with, the visitors gecured a nice handicap at the start of the game, hammering the ball, as it appeared, all over the lot and registering three ru After the first inning Mercer really did great work, but his flelders then tcok a hand at throwing him down, substantiating the idea that there is more than mere idle talk in the prediction that certain pitchers cannot pitch against certain clubs. “Brother Joe” Corbett was on the slab for the Orioles, and gave a mas‘erly exhibi- tion of the twirlers’ art. He fielded his po- sition finely, and kept a cool hea in diffi- cult spots of the game and in this way managed to crawl out of many tight plac Umpire Hurst’s work yesterday was a 1 tle bit better than the day before, hut there is still room for improvement. He has been given his instructions from headquar- ters, and should not allow the players to argue with him over decisions. His work would be much easier and the game quick- er and more enjoyable. mucnwmncor ececroncel Reits Mercer, 6. Hit by pitched. ball By.

About 2,000 ladies were on hand yester- @ay to cheer the. home club to victory, and they took. the defeat of their favorites very much to heart. They tell a good story in connection w the knockout McJames received at Bos- ton. When the twirler was lying onthe ground almost senseless, Tim, Hurst stood cver him and commenced to count ten in @ deliberate prize-ring style. Jimmy says he heard eight and got on one knee, and as Hurst said nine he regained his feet and saved a counting out. Although a bit dazed Mac had to join in the laugh of the other players at the funny incident. At Monday's game Senator Murphy brought out several companions from the upper house to witness the playing of the great club from Baltimore, of whom the New York senator had been talking for weeks. Well, the Senators were the great club on that day, and. Senator Murphy had to stand considerable guying over the result. Yesterday the same <group came out and the New York senator's de- popes of the Orioles were almost ful- i The Senators leave tonight for their western tour and the first stop. will be at Pittsburg, where they play the first game tomorrow. The Pirates are ‘playing gilt-edged bail just now, and that club will be one of the hardest:on the trip to get a game from. Perhaps a change of scene and companions may-do-the Senators good and help them to regain their batting eye, and if they do and continue their good fielding a good record is bound to follow. The New. Yorks needed a good flelder and the Louisvilies needed a short stop, so it didn’t take long for Jimmy Rogers and Bill Joyce to exchange Holmes for Stafford. It is said New York received a money consideration to boot, put from.,the. looks of things at this distance it would appear as though Rogers got the worst of it at an even exchange.
