Briefly, it is one that can be quick- ly removed from the rim and opened, and therein it differs radically from the cheaper forms of tires that are cemented to the rim and cannot be opened. The advantages of a tire that can be quickly taken apart in the event of a puncture in order to find the SOURCE of the trouble are manifest. The Dunlop Detachable Tire is simplicity itself; nothing but an out- er cover and an inner tube. It is held on the rim by inflation, and to Fepair it These ae the Only Tools You'll Need.

PITCHING OF HUGHES ——-+—___ Tt Was Responsible for the Downfall 6f the Washingtons. OPENING TH BASE BALL SEASON “Doc” ee ba, Fully Supported by the Men Behind Him. —_e___ CURRENT SPORTING NOTES —————— ee Only a victory for the Washington club was needed yesterday to make the in- suguration of the season of 1898 in this city a great suécess. The weather was perfect, the attendance large, enthusiasm on tap in large quantities, but the excep- tlonal pitching of Hughes, the great sup- pert by the Baltimore boys back of him robbed the Washington enthusiasts of the crowning glory of victory. The game went to the Orioles by the score of 9 to 0, the first game at home and a white- wash at that. Alack and alas, but that is base ball, and the friends of the Sena- tors will yet have many opportunities of cheering their old favorites on to victory. It was almost a foregone conclusion be- fcre the first ball was pitched that the Seratorg were in for a drubbing, but that it would be such an effective one was hard- ly expected. Pitcher Hughes, a new man to major league company, hailing from tke Pacific slope, was on the rubber for the Orioles, and his work was of the gilt- edge order, but two safe hits being regis- tered against him, one of which was of the fluky order. Hughes has been touted by the Baltimore base ball people as a coming twirler, and his work yesterday unmistakably stamps him as being already here. No matter how difficult the play, in a fielding sense, he conducted himse!f with exceptional coolness and success came his way in large chunks, his fielding of Jack Deyle’s bunt being one of the prettiest plays of the game. Another man on the Baltimore club that shcne out with great brilliancy was “Wee Willie’ Keeler, the child wonder from the city of churches. No matter how difficult the chance Little Willie makes his best effort and about 99 times out of 100 the play is pulled off successfully. Lust sea- son Keeler threw himself into the barb wire netting around the right field seats and pulled down a long fiy with his left hard. Yesterday he put up a play almost as good by diving after a long drive to right center and catching the ball about a foot from the ground with one hand. A idea can be formed of how far out the b was hit when Tom Brown was rounding third base when It struck Keeler’s hands, starting from first when the ball left the bat. Plays of this sort can be cailed lucky with ‘any other man except Keeler, but this Httle fellow pulls them off so oft that it looks if he can hoid on to any- thing that touches. his hands. “Doc” Amole Washington elub, wbber for the and did weil under try- ing circumstances.

Little Miss Elsie Brown, Caprain Brown's daughter, threw the first ball into the dia- mond as a start-off for the season of 1898. Jack Doyle was given a great send-off by the Washington “fans” when he came to the bat in the second inning. ‘The cheering started as he walked toward the plate, and, as one of the park attaches approact. ed with a magnificent horseshoe of roses, the applause was redoubled. Jack tipped his hat several times and then flew out to right. Reliable Jim McGuire's drive to center was a beavty, but he marred its good ef- fect by being caught off of third and run down. Jim is rather heavy to pull off such a play as was started, the idea being to score from third on the throw down to second; but & desperate chance was neces- sary and it failed—the luck of base ball. Many ladies were present in the grand Stand seats and private boxes, their Hes coin being put up for the 'o- morrow will be the first “‘lac Billy Barnte’s team the attraction. great turnout is expected. The Washingtons and Baltimores have another run-in today, the scene of the con- test being shifted to the oyster city. Din- neen will probably pitch for the Senators, while Hoffer or Nops will be on the rubber for the Orioles. With the Senators regular Infield in po- sition the Orioles would have scored about three runs in yesterday’s game, but would have won, nevertheless, on account of the locals’ w2ak hitting. ‘Two swallows do not make a summer any more than do two defeats knock the Wash- ington club oat of first division po: ties. As the late lamented Charley would say, “Wait!” The Senators ted the season badly handicapped, have but will soon be in condition, and then look out. The admirers of this season’s aggre- gation should not be discouraged over two defeats under present circumsian Umpires Snyder and Curry officiated at New York yesterday notwithstanding the edict of Magnate Freedman that the for- mer would not be allowed to enter th srounds. Captain Joyce has placed hi: self on record as being opposed to the ne rules, and it is claimed he will have to put out of the game for a w or more to bring him into line. How different were the tactics of the New York club ter- day. They were winners from the start, and every decision made was all right. Mr. Joyce was lucky that Mr. Lynch did not umpire Saturday’s- game, as about five of the Giants would not have played yesterday. balk on him in the second int that much toward r#iQing him, while the field- ing by the men; back of him should er, the errors of omission being worse than those of commission.

The opening of the local base ball season somewhat decreased the attendance at the Benning track yesterday, the seventh day of the third spring meeting of the Wash- ington Jockey Club. The card was a large one, and the racing was about the best of the meeting. Two favorites, Lucid and Her Own, finished in front, the other races be- ing taken by an outsider, a second and third choice. The speculation was quite RUN. active, and it* was about even break be- tween the public and layers. Tabouret showed a marked improvement in form, and the stewards inquired into it. Dalyi Lepida was first in the race for maiden two-year-old fillies, and on the strength of her race Saturday was played to a very large extent. The fourth race resulted in a great finish, Her Own beating Wordsworth a head, he a nose in front of Passover. Doggett in the last race would not try a little bit, and was next to last all the way. The barriers were used for the first time during the meeting, and the starts were made much more promptly, greatly to the satisfaction of the crowd. Summary: First race, three years old and upward, five and one-haif furlongs Tabou- ret, 104 (Coylie), 5 to 1, won; Sanders, 109 (Hewitt), 6 to 5 and 1 to 2, second; Taka- Passee, 116 (Simms), 6 to 1, third.
