LARGE ATTENDANCE, GEAVY RECEIPTS Georgetown Defeated by Prince- ton in an Exciting Game. CURRENT SPORTING —————— NEWS The fifth spring meeting of the Washing- ton Jockey Club, which closed at th Ben- ning track Saturday, surpassed In the mat- ter of attendance every previous one, even that of last fall, when all previous records were broken. This is somewhat unusual, th best attended meetings being, as a rule, those given in the fall. Another remarkable feature of the re- cent meeting was the frequency with which favorites won, the racing being about the Most consist2nt ever witnessed here, but one reai long shot, Gwynne, finishing first. President Howland’s Efforts Reward- ea. Saturday's crowd was by far the largest of the meeting, the stands and grounds be- ing much too limited to comfortably ac- commodate the vast throng. The attend- ance was one truly representativ2 of the national capital, and was convincing proof that President Howland and his associates of the club have succeeded in their untiring efforts to place “the sport of kings” on the same high plane on which it stood h2re years ago. These efforts have been con- tinued despite great financial losses in the earlier years of the club, and now that the financial suce2ss of future meetings is as- sured the management promises increased purses and a continuance of the determina- tion to provide clean, high-class sport. Imp Again Beaten. Saturday's card was the best of the meet- ing, the second Benning handicap being, of course, its feature. The field in this race Was reduced at starting time to Imp, Boney Boy, Charentus and Lexington Pirate. De- spite her crushing weight, 132 pound, the peerless mare was made the favorite, her price running from 11 to 10 to even, Char- entus closing at 9 to 5, and Boney Boy, 4 to 1, the other outsider being 20 to 1. At the fall of the flag Imp and Boney rushed to the front, alternating in the lead until striking the home stretch, when Charentus went to the front, winning by four lengths. Imp was somewhat crowded in the home stretch by Boney Boy and Lexington Pirate, but the mistake of racing her in the early part of the race really defeated the great mare, Boney Boy beating her a head for the place. The first eighth run in 12 the first quarter in .242 the half in 494-5; the five furlongs in 1.03; the six furlongs in 1162-5, and the seven fur- longs in 1.31. Jockey Dunlop Suspended. ‘The first race was won by Lady Lindsay, at 4 to 1; Speedmas being second, and the 8 to 5 favorite, third. Governor Griggs, the 4 to 5 favorite, won the hurdle race with ease, as did Young Exile, the hunters’ Steeplechase, the latter belng splendidly ridden by Mr. Taylor of Baltimore. In this race Dunlop, on St. Samuel, gave a miserable ride, and the stewards promptly suspended him, sending his case to the Jockey Club. Nestor, at 4 to 1, won the open steeplechase, Baby Bill, the even money favorite, rurining second. The last Tace went to The Jefferson, the even money favorite, Kimmage, being second. PRINCETON WON. First Defeat for the Local University ne ‘This Season. Princeton defeated Georgetown Saturday afternoon on the local campus by the of 6 to 3, ten innings being required to. » cause of Georgetown's downfall can easily be ascribed to the failure of the local collegians to grasp opportunities. Twirler White easily outpitched Hillebrand, but his support was poor, and the wearers of tho blue and the gray were like wooden men oa the bases. The lost opportunity slpped away in this manner: Cranston singled rond, and immediately after tried to second. Catcher Kafer threw the ball out into center Held and “Bobby” kept on to third. He was rounding third when Center- ficlder Watkins came up with the ball and fumbled It. There was no coach at third and Cranston thought he was doing well to reach that base. All he had to do was to continue on home and the fatal tenth in- ning would not have been necessary. In the tenth “Bobby" again put his foot in tt by allowing a foul fly to drop safe, and as a result the Tigers braced up and batted cut enough of hits to more than win the game. The weather was beautiful and the at- ce large, the grand stand being com- ly filled with ladies and their escorts, the visitors having almost as many admir- ers as the home club. Both sides scored two runs in the second inning, and Georgetown forged to the front in the fourth with {ts third and last run. In the seventh Princeton tied the score, and the Tigers and their friends did a war dance. Neither side could get runners over the plate in the next two Innings, and the fatal tenth began. It was growing dark and misty, but the gloom was very much to the Tigers’ liking, and Young reached first on Cranston's error. Meier followed with a screaming triple, scoring Young, and Pier- son drove one to center that escaped Downes, and before the ball could be re- covered the batter had crossed the home plate with a remarkably timely home run to his credit. Georgetown had the last turn and Moran led off well with a single, but Hillebrand failed to weaken, and the next three men were easy outs. It was George- town's first defeat this season on the home grounds by a college team, and the players and their friends naturally felt the defeat keenly, : HIGH SCHOOL BA BALL, Games Played by the Teams of the Four Institutions Saturday. The Central High School team found an easy proposition, Saturday afternoon, at Van Ness Park, in the Y¥. M. C. A. Re- serves, the score being 12 to 4 at the end of the nine innings. The Centrals trotted out a young phenom in the person of Pitcher Taylor, and the way he made his opponents hit nothing but wind was worth going miles to see. But six clean hits were made by the Reserves, and eighteen of them hit nothing, a. strike-out recerd of the season so far gone. Shepard back- stopped Taylor splendidly, and a great deal of credit should be given him, as it con- tributed materially toward the latter's good work. The other Centrals were also in the game with both feet, but one misplay marking the team’s record of play on the day. The Reserves were handicapped by lack of practice together, but their weak hitting was the more noticeable. They tried several twirlers against the Centrals, but base hits continued to come in bunches, and at the conclusion it was found that sixteen safeties had been placed to the High School boys’ credit. W. H. S., 15; Columbian, 3. The newly formed team of the Columbian University was easily defeated by the ‘Western High School boys Saturday after- noon on the Mt. Pleasant grounds, the score being 15 to 3 in the latter’s favor. The High School boys were in fine fettle and hammered out the ball with damaging regularity to their opponents, and in the field took care of everything that came their way. The Columbian lads were a lit- tle rusty and showed evidence of the want of practice. Eastern, 23; Marine Barracks, 11. The Eastern High School boys met their old rivals, the Marines, Saturday and trounced them quite roundly, the score be- ing 23 to 11 In their favor. Both sides put up a clever fielding game, but the batting was hard on both sides, Kennedy of the High School team driving the ball almost all over the lot every time he came to the Reekville, 16; B. H. S., 15. The Business High School team jour- neyed to See Md> Saturday, and as a result was the ofly High School team to suffer defeat during the day, the Academy boys of that place winning out by one run, the score being 16 to 15 in their favor. The game opened the base ball season in the Maryland village, and a large crowd turn- ed out to witness the contest, which was hotly played throughout: The fielding and batting was about-an equal thing, but the Bockville boys managed to place their hits at opportune times, whith brought runners over the plate. | Mt. Pleasant Wen’ at Rockville. The Mount Pleaant” Athletic Club Sat- urday afternoon defeated the Rockville Base Bail Club by ,J5 to 13. The game was played at Rockville, Md., and was wit- nessed by severaljhundred people. Slow playing in the field, but heavy batting by both teams, was responsible for the large score. Almost constant wrangling by the players of both clubs interfered with the game many times, and at the end of the last inning both teams claimed the vic- tory. The team from the District, how- ever, was awarded justly the largest score, for their work at the bat and in the field excelled that of their opponents. The following was the score by innings: Mt. Pleasant. 03002513 2-15 Rockville . 2040023 1-13 ‘The line-up of the Mt. Pleasant Athletic Club base ball team is as follows, and they are willing to accept challenges from all quarters: Oliver Saers, third base; Curtin Nixon, shortstop: Garrett Carter, second base;” Damon Young, catcher; Albert Rhodes, center field; Magnus Young, first base; Ford Young, left fleld; Walter Chism, pitcher, and Horace Chittenden, right field.

Cranston is played too much. “Bobby” 1s clever 1nd game, but to go behind the bat in every game is asking too much of his physical ability. But two hits had been made off White's delivery up to the tenth inning. Pretty good twirling that, especially when his poor support is considered. Short Stop Moran played a plucky, tf not brilliant, game in the field. Two fingers of his right hand were jammed and brutsed, which handicapped him somewhat, but he hammered out a single in the tenth never- theless own’s other catcher, Cashman, s > given a chance. He has shown % vork as a receiver, and with the bat has Cranston “beaten a biock.”’ Devlin did himself proud, both at the bat and in the field..

Several times during the game Saturday he was in quite deep holes, but by using his “noddle” pulled himself out without any damage being done. ‘The yeils or cries of the two colleges were continually piercing the air. town, of course, had the call in this turdy Tigers assembled near bench and did their best, which wasn’t a bad showing by any means. Georgetown's song about Mary and_ th lamb created lots of merriment. The boys sang with great gusto: “Three cheers for Mary. three cheers for the lamb, three cheers for the teacher who didn't ‘give a ! Georgetown! Georgetown!! George- town! Princeton plays its second gamo with Georgetown this afternoon on the George- town campus. Young will probably do the twirling for the Tigers, while McKay or Golden will serve "em up for the blue and the gray. Wednesday Yale returns for another game, and it should be a corker, as Georgetown won the first, and the wearers of the dark blue are out for revenge. Yale has been im- proving wonderfully during the past week, and may turn the tables on the local boys. .BOSTON WHISTERS WON. Defeated the New York Club, Both Playing the “Common Sense” Game. One of the most interesting whist games of the season, for the American Whist League trophy, was played in New York Saturday afternoon and night between teams from the New York Whist Club and the Duplicate Whist Club of Boston. The usual forty-elght boards were played, and the Bostonese, heaued by the prince of them all, Captain Harry Ward, wor out by ten tricks, the score being 25 to 15. Both sides played exceptionally good, con- servative whist, neither team having the nerve to risk a downfall by striving for a large swing. As a result there were no gains over two. The usual division of play was gone through with, twenty-four boards being played in the afternoon and the re- maining twenty-four in the evening. At the end of the afternoon's play, Boston was four tricks to the good, but on the first eight boards after dinner New York tied the score. This Captain Ward and his men exceedingly careful, and in the next sixteen boards they piled up four doubles and five singles, whffe Captain Elwell and his followers had tobe content with two. singies. On the last poards Boston got in a two stroke and New York only a single and the contest was ov. Last winter these two teams met in Bos- ton and an easy win followed for the New Yorks. The play of the New Yorks is along “common-sense” lines and proved so effective against the Bostons then that Captain Ward and a majority of the Dupli- cate club were converts to the new game. Ever since that defeat Captain Ward has been drilling his men im the “common sense” tactics, and as he chose a team of the very strongest in New: England victory perched upon his banner Saturday night. Following are the players, composing each team: : Boston—H. H. Ward, captain; L. M Bouve, C. L. Becker, .W. 8, Fenollosa. New York—J. B. Elwell, captain; A. EL Taylor, J. E. Faber and C.,8. Cole. .
