RUMORS OF BASE BALL UDBALS Yale's Team to Play the George- town Nine. CURRENT SPORTING: ‘NOTES —— Notwithstanding the raw weather at Na- tional Park yesterday afternoon the game beiween the Washington and Catholic Unt- versity clubs was interesting and furnished the professionals with the best practice they have had this spring. Pitcher Mc- Tighe is an excellent pitcher, although a sore finger prévented entire control yester- and as a result his drops and shoots hard to master. A majority of the Senators kept their Weather eye peeled and refused to be used as a target, although littie Tommy Leahy refused to budge an inch and got two “soakers” in the region of the fifth rib. But eleven hits were secured by the Senators, while the collegians chalked up an even eight. The support given McTighe was wretched and disheart- ening, which accounts for the large score of 16 to 7 against his nine. Amole started off weil for the Senators, and Weyhing also kept up the good pace untit he hurt his side reaching for a wide curve and had to retire. Donovan went on the slab without a warming up, and his delivery was taken kindly to by the ‘var- sity lads, five hits being placed to their credit. Donovan then pulled himself to- gether and kept the hits scattered there- after. The Senators had the strongest nine on the field yet played, Myers being at third and Proctor in center, the other players having their regular positions. Myers took care of everything that came his way in masterly style and hit the ball when it came over the plate. Doyle at first and Wrigley at shart had the most work to do, but did it cleanly and accurately, although the usual fine work of McGuire, Farrell and Snyder was much in evidence. About 300 spectators huddled together in the grand stand and displayed considerable in- terest in the contest. John Heydler han- led the indicator, and his decisions were satisfactory all around. This afternoon “Billy” Brady's Rochester club, under the management of. Charley Morton, will endeavor to take a fall out of the Senators at National Park, the game being called at 4:15. The Rochester club is @ strong aggregation and should make the home club extend themselves to the full limit to pull out a victory. Lester German and Sandy Griffin, two ex-Senators, are with the visitors, the former playing third and the latter left field. Another promi- nent player with the Rochesters is Pack Borner, a player tipped off a couple of years ago as a coming wonder. Bonner is still the great hitter as of yore, but has retrograded as a fielder, although fully ca- pable of holding his own in a minor league. Base Ball Notes. During the practice games so far indulg- ed in by the players at National Park Bert Myers has conclusively demonstrated that he is a first-class third baseman and en- tirely too good for the Western League. Bert still insists that he will not report to Milwaukee this year, as the salary limit in the Western League is too small and the season too short. The three Senators on the sick list, Brown, Mercer and Mahaffey, are doing as well as can be expected, taking the Weather into consideration. Bright sun- shine will do more for the trio than all the massage and liniment treatment known to science The St. Mary’s College team, that plays the Senators next week, have a phenom. to do the twirling for them, who will bear watching. During a game last Saturday with Hagerstown this young man struck out eighteen of the opposing batters, and is“now panting for more glory, and’ inti- mates that the professionals will be as “easy as the amateurs to fool. Monte Cross, the ex-Rrown _ shortstop, has been selected by Manager Stallings as the captain of the reconstructed Phillies, and he is believed to be the best man on the team for the position. Monte is a lit- Ue hot-headed at times, but perhaps his responsibilities will cure him of this the coming seascn. The way the letters are pouring into the business office of the Washington club is enough to drive the letter carrier on that to drink. They are all from fair lady applicants and ask for “‘ladies’ tick- ets” for the coming season. On an average of $00 letters arrive at the park dally, and Secretary Robb has hard work cut out for him for the next three weeks. The “la- dies’ tickets” will probably be sent out next week. Lookout for the Senators this year. They are not likely to be pennant winners, but they &re sure to be troublesome for cham- pions. They will topple over top-notch teams very frequently this season. Doyle and Reitz will strengthen the team 20 per eent.—Cincinnati Enquirer. The three hold-out players in Baltimore— Kelley, Keeler and Jennings—refuse to come to terms, and last night Manager Hanlon left the oyster town very myste- riously, and it is thought several sensa- tional deals will be forthcoming. Delehanty of the Phillies, Jones of the Brooklyns and Sefbach of the Washingtons are hinted at a8 possibilities by the Paltimore papers. J. Earl Wasner left Washington last evening for Philadelphia. <n rae ee Hanlon of the RBalti- .ore club left that city lust eveni Eas city last evening for The fact that both these gentlemen - neyed to the Quaker ‘elty” last evening Would lead one to s*ppose that a “hen ts on.” Manager Hanlon has two good men in Kelley and Keeler to offer the Wash- ington management; the question is, what players can Mr. Wagner afford to let go? TRAP SHOOTING. Local Experts Enjoying .the Sport at Glass Balls and Live Birds. Sportsmen who are fond of trap shooting are beginning to take advantage of the pleasant spring weather and glass balls and live birds are being smashed and killed to a great extent. ‘There was an interesting 25-live-bird event shot off last Friday at Highland sta- tion, in wkich Mr. Wagner, ope of the winners of the great American handicap, and Messrs. Green, Nutting, Arnold, Fow- ler and Mitchell participated, all shooting in splendid form. They will enter in the tournament at Baltimore next week. YALE NINE’S SPRING TRIP. Two Games to Be Played With the Georgetown Nine. The Yale nine will come to Washington today to meet the Georgetown University nine, then going to Old Point, wher> the team will make its headquarters, for the game with the Hampton nine of Virginia. From Old Point Comfort Yale will go on to Richmond, where a game with’ the University of Virginia wil be played turday. Monday Yale will meet the irginians again in Charlottesville, from which place Yale will return to Wash- ington for a second’game with the George- town University team, which will be the last game of the trip. This schedule ts practically the same as that of last season. Fifteen men in all will be taken on the Easter trip. ‘The result of this trip, while it will give an idea of Yale's strength this season, will not be regarded as anything more than a preliminary test of the players. The team thus far has not been coached in team work at all. It is difficult to estimate Yale’s chances on the diamond this season. Yale men be- THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1898-14 PAGES. lieve that their chances are better than Harvard's, and also think that they ought to have the best of Princeton. Princeton has Jost some of her best players by grad- vation, and it is not likely that Yale will find the Tigers nearly so strong as they were last season. Yale ought to be better prepared this year than last year. - BUNCHED THEIR HITS. Thereby the Georgetown Nine De- feated Lehigh University. The game yesterday between Georgetown University and Lehigh University, which was won by the blue and gray, was one of the best exhibitions of college ball playing that has been seen in this city for some time, despite the cold, which was enough to numb the players. The score at the close of the game stood 4 to 1, and several times during the playing it looked as though the visitors would be able to tie, if not pass, the score. Z For Georgetown Bache occupied the rub- ber. Downes was on third base, while Haf- ford went out in left field. Captain Mc- Carthy covered center field, with Walsh in right field. For the visitors White officiat- ed as twirler, with Cannen as backstop. The game was decidedly a pitchers’ bat- tle, and hits were scarce. The local play- ers were fortunate in bunching their hits opportunely. The slow ball of Bache proved to be a puzzle to the. visitors. On the other hand, White had a more swift delivery, with which the local college boys found it difficult to connect. The only tally made by the visitors was scored in the fifth inning through an error of Downes, who was unable to field a grounder driven by Reed. In the seventh inning, with none out, the visitors filled the bases, and but for the stupid base run- ning and bad coaching would have been able to get in at least one score. J. Grace secured first on a hit, and the two men after him were given 8 on balls. Think- ing the fourth man at the bat had four balls, Grace started to walk home and was thrown out. Reese struck out, and James was caught between first and second. R.ELE. Lehigh. 900001000123 Georgeiow! 2000 0 0 0 2 x4 6 3 Batteries—W hite and Carmen, Bache and Maloney. Potomac Bort Club Meeting. Th3 annual meeting of the Potomac Boat Club was held last evening at its club house in Georgetown, and in view of the fact that the club has lately increased in mem- bership to a large extent, considerable in- rest was taken in the election of officers for the year. The report of the treasurer- showed that the finances of the club were in a satisfactory condition, and several new members were enrolled at the meting. The officers chosen for the year were as fol- lows: Mr. Jno. Hadley Doyle, president; Mr. R. Douglas Simms, vice president; Mr. Chas. G. Warden, treasurer; Mr. W. E. H. Marritt, secretary; Mr. E. Richard Gasch, assistant secretary; Mr. Joseph H. Bradley, captain; Mr. R. Douglas Simms, first lieu- tenant; Mr. Charles D. Eleafon, second Meutenant; finance committee—Messrs. Jno. Hadley Doyle, Joseph H. Bradley and M. J. Quinn; hous? committee—Messrs. W. E. H. Merritt, A. M. P. Maschmeyer and E. Richard Gasch; membership committee— Messrs. Charles G. Warden, W. H. Conley and R. Douglas Simms. The purpose of the club ts to push rowing this summer, and.by a series of regattas and barge parties bring back to the river the success that prevailed in the organ- ization in years gone by. The selection of Mr. Joseph H. Bradley as captain ts a pop- ular one, and there is no doubt that pros- Ferity will follow his efforts. The Western High School boys are se- riously thinking of organizing an eight- gared crew to boat from the Potomac house, an examnle having been set by the Central High School boys.

CHICAGO, April 7.—-The Tribune says: “There is a likelihood that by tonight Captain Anson will heve raised the amount necessary to buy the Chicago Base Ball Club. Captain Anson is unwilling to give out any of the details of his plans until they are brought to a climax. It is ex- plained that there are two or three trons in the fire. As yet Captain Anson is not certain just what plan will be adopted.” Racing Legislation in Maryland. Gov. Lowndes of Maryland has signed the last of the race track bitls. Four out- law track bills were passed by the Mary- land legislature. Three of them are local and one is a gereral bill. The local bills apply to Harford, Cecil and Anne Arundel countiss. The gereral bill exempts Wash- ingten and Prince George's countics from its provisioas. It cannot yet be determined whether the general bill, being subsequent to the two local laws already approved, in- terferes with the provisions of either of the previous acts. The general bill permits ‘acing and bookmaking in each of the counties for thirty days in the year, ex- ccpt Baltimore county, where forty days of racing ars allowed. The judges of the cir- cuit court are to issue the licenses for the races. Poultry and Pigeon Association. The annual election of officers took place last night at the regular meeting of the Na- tferal Poultry and Pigeon Association. John L. Waggaman was chosen president; H. A. Munson, vice president; W. Seymore McLeod, secretary, and Samuel Stinemetz, treasurer. The next (fourth) annual show is to be held January 10 to 14, 1899, in the National Rifles’ Hall, both floors to be de- voted to the purpose. Basket Ball Last Night. The Washington Athictic Club house was the scene last night of a game of basket ball between the City Post Office team and the Interior Department. The game was won by the former team by 4 to 0. The playing of Mays and Bogan of the Interior and Hixon and Atz of the Post Office team was a feature of the game. ‘The line-up: Interiors. st Office.
