CAREY AND RYAN COME NEXT Loftus' Players Will Have Their Last Game at the Park Against Strong Department Stars Today. The Senators will play their final game at the American League P,ark this after soon, when they nil! meet the strongest team that can be secured from among the different clubs of the Departmental League. The game is looked forward to with not a little Interest by persons who have followed the 'work of the players, of the several departments, as their admirers have steadily claimed that there are a number of men on these amateur teams ttiat ere strong 'enough -to be In faster company. Today they -will have their first chance to show what they can do when pitted against real ball players, although there are persons In Washing ton who are cruel and uncharitable enough to allege that the Senators are not real ball players, by any means. Howerer. the last game the Washing ton team of 1902 -will ever play together will occur this afternoon and a large crowd will doubtless be on band to give Loftus and his men a good send-off. Rumors Are Numerous. Already the rumor committees of the two leagues have settled down to busi ness and there are enough stories afloat vas to the make-up of the different teams of the rival organizations for next year to bewilder anyone that endeavors to get at the real condition of affairs. It seems pretty certain that the Na tional League people have singled out Han Johnson and Charles Comlskey's Chicago American team to first attack by stealing their star players. The fact that Second Baseman Mertes end Pitcher Piatt have succumbed to the blandishments of the National agents Is considered good evidence that the claims of the older league are more than mere puffs of heated atmosphere. The National people announced that they were after the best men of the American organization and followed up their statement by pouncing upon two of Chicago's best players as an evidence of their good faith. Now that the season of the American League Is over and the players have nothing to fear by announcing their in tentions, for next season, there will doubtless be found many deserters to the National League, while the Ameri cans will have to wait a week until the National season is ended before they can give out the names of men who will desert the old crowd for the newer and more energetic organization. Where Players Will Winter. Delehanty will lose no time' In getting away from the Capital for the places where the horses run, and will spend most of the winter trying to se'ect the fast ponies from the slower ones. Del Is a great believer In the idea that the bookmakers can be put out of business it one only knows how to turn the trick. ana uns secrei uei oeiievcs ne nas. iasi winter he had much good luck out at Benulng, and later on at New Orleans and Memphis, and will try and duplicata Ills winnings. Clarke will return to his Baltimore business interests, which, include a num ber of restaurants, while Bill Coughlln will put in the cold weather at his home at Scranton. Lee will spend bis honey moon on a Jaunt with the team that will play through the South and Southwest curing the next month or so. Carrlck will go to his home In Michigan, while Town3end will tell the home people at Chester what trjeks he did with the sphere during the past six months in this city. "Billy" Kelster will winter at his Baltimore home, and Al Orth will spend considerable time hunting In Virginia. Jack Doyle says little old Broadway Is good enough for hira, and Carey Is of the opinion that his up-York State home will hold him for the greater part of the year. , Fred Ely will put In the next five imonths In his Ohio home, and will write to Jimmy Ryan at Chicago about the prospects for both playing in this city again next season. Case Patten likes the atmosphere of Kansas City well enough to favor it as a w inter residence. Stanley, the now centerfielder, se cured from New Orleans, is a Washing ton boy. and will be In town until the umpire calls "play ball" In the spring. Delehanty Leads Batting. Delehanty winds up the season at the head of the Senatorial batters, -with an average of .371 to his credit. Carey and Byan made a good fight for second place, and finished with aicrages of .318 and .315, respectively. Stanley played only a few games with the locals, and while he made four hits out of twelve times at the bat, thereby acquiring a record of .333, It Is hardly fair to class him above men who par ticipated in almost every gamo of the aeason. As a whole, the hitting and fielding of the locals were good enough to have won more games than came to us, but atupid base work, and general careless ness and poor management resulted In the loss of many games that should have been captured. Manager Loftus opines that with De- MontrcvJUe at second and Tommy Cor coran, of Cincinnati at short field, and with the reliable Coughlln stationed at third, and Carey planted at the first station, Washington should have a pretty strong Infield .next season, and with a couple of good oulfielderr the rest of the garden should be well taken care of. In fact, the way .Manager Loftus sizes up the situation leads one to almost ex press the belief that the Washington team of next season will. finish one, two, three, but this same line of conversa tion was handed out by the same mana ger last season and the Senators were AMERICAN LEAGUE.

If "Rube" Waddell hadn't planned to give his brother ball players a catfish supper last night the Camden ball team wouldn't have held the thamplonsblp of South Jersey nor the first place In the Jersey division of the big parade to morrow night in honor of the Athletics. It was tho final gime of tho champion ship series hetween Camden and Glou cester, and "Rube" Waddell won it for Camden by tho score of 2 to 1. IncI dentally, tho big pitcher, who was largely Instrumental In landing the pen nant in Philadelphia, experienced a whole lot of pleasure upon his first visit to the town across the river. Quaker City folk have made a lot of fuss over the "Rube" all summer, but President Roosevelt. Prince Henry, King "Eddie" nor any other notable wouldn't have liad the reception the Athletics' twirler received. Nothing would hold the kids when the news got abroad that Waddell was to 'pitch for Camden, and they climbed over the fence in hundreds. After the game a big fat man threw his arms about "Rube" and kissed him. The balanre of the 4.000 spectators would havs fol lowed suit if the police hadn't taki;n "Rube" to his dressing room. It all happened this way: "Ru!.-2" went down to Dock Street yesterday morning to buy the fisli for his catfish supper. Ho was accompanied by a lady. and was bound on an improm'ptu :x cursion. "Why don't you go ovar anl see tho Camden game?" asked the fish man, who Is a Camden rooter. And "Rube" went. Gloucester had secured "Cy" Voor hees, of tho Washington club, to pitch. When "Rube" saw what waa doing it needed little persuasion for him to don a Camden suit. His tppearanco gave, tho crowd a spasm of Joy, and "Rube," elated by the manifestation of admira tion, was as happy as a schoolboy, and acted it. Then started the pitchers' battle. "Rube" struck out seven men and gave ond a pass. Gloucester touched him for two hits. Voorhees -struck four and allowed six hits. It was out In one, two, three order for both sides until tho third, when "Uubo" hit a man, gave another his base, and Flschman's wild throw lot Hew.tt scoro Gloucester's only run. In the fourth "Rube" had a chance to- ba; In a run and failed. Camden's first run came in tho sixth. Flschmnn led off with a corking two bagger to right, and was sent homo ly sacrifice hits bV I.awson and Esler. Jn tho next Waddell inado the winning ru'i. Ho whacked out a two-bagger, got his third on an error, nnd went home tin Perkins' drive to center. TI-T" -vas nothing doing after ;'at Lut gi-u Hold ing until the ninth, when Voorhoes hit one for two bases. McCabe got a bae Tho annual tournament to decide the Southern championship in roque will bo sin today and will contlnuo day and evening through the week.

Li OCAL BOWING WILL 01 TONIGHT Departmental and?,ankClerl Leagues to Met. o V Georgetown Handler Pleased With Their Material. Tho coaches of the three collego foot ball teams of this city, with ono excep tion, are very well satisfied with the showing made by their elevens In Sat urday's games. Coach Suter and As sistant Coach Moran Barry, are well pleased with 'the playing of the George town boysifn their game with the Mary land Agriculturali College, and the team bids fair of becoming the fastest In the South. Coaches Houston and Alexander, of the Columbian team, stated that the showing made by their proteges against the Western Maryland Collego was most gratifying, and that Columbian would have a very strong team If the men con tinued to turn out for practice as they have 'done so far this season. Coach Crowley, of the Gallaudet ele'en, while not disheartened, was not satisfied with" the game the .Mutes put up against Lafayette at Easton, Pa.,' on I nor, T. Farreil, A. Budke, J. Stanton, G.

The former league Is composed of teams representing various departments and bureaus of tho Government. The Times Cup will be tha champion ship 'trophy for which tho teama will bowl in addition to a number ot prizes for team and individual records and averages, and tho contests premise to'be of mo're than ordinary Interest. 3 Tho schedula published In The TJmes of August 15 calls for eighty-four set3 of threo games, or sixty-three games for each team. , The Census and Treasury teams will open the season tonight. The Bank Clerks' League is composed of teams representing various local banks and tho young "money handlers" promise to make a very lively season on the alleys. The players aro mostly novices, but they have taken enough practice 'to put them in fairly good shape. The schedule published In The Times en August 17 calls for 135 sets, or a total of 405 games, and the Metropolitan and Columbia Bank tennis will start thj 'championship tall rolling together to night at 8 o'clock.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23. Chicago wound up tho baseball season here this after noon by playing St. Louis a double header. The home team won both games, tak ing the first 4 to 2 and the second 4 to 1. Neither game wa3 to the slightest de gree exciting, though both were well played for so late In the season. The scores: Saturday; Tho Mutes had not practiced more than three days, and were very rusty. The strong Lafayette team plow ed through their lino and smashed up their poor interference. The Georgetown lads will work harder than ever this week. Manager Fitzger ald has spent a lot ot time making ar rangements for his various games, and has also Inspired confidence In the Blue and Gray tribe of pigskin chasers. On Saturday they journey over to Annapolis and test their prowess against the brawn and mus.de of the sturdy cadet eleven. Last year the Blue and Gray lads played the Middles to a standstill. Mr. M. J, Thompson, manager of ath letics of Georgetown University, states that tho local collegians will not be sat isfied with playing the Middies to a standstill this year, but will surely take a fall out of them. Saturday's game will practically start Georgetown's football season. Never before have so many candidates turned out to secure positions on the svarslty team. There are about forty men fighting for positions. It will bo a hard matter for the coaches to pick tho best. The material, from point of weight and strength. Is tho best George town has eer had. The center weighs 210 pounds, and two of tho ends tip the beam at about 100. This year's team will bo the heaviest and probably the fastest that ever wore tho blue and gray sweaters. The football schedulo of Georgetown was published several days ago, and the lovers of tho game wore much disap pointed at not finding the University of Virginia team on tho list this season. Heretofore this has been the star con test of the year.
