Patten and Kitson have demon strated that ^hey are in fine fettle. an( should the other members of the pitrhlni j force get going at their best the batsmei who oppoge them this season will have t rockv road ahead of them. All the games lost so far this season hav< been by small margins and can be a.scribe( to poor luck as much as anything else and when the men back of the twirlers ge hitting together many victories will com< our way. The Washington club had to put up j big lot of money to secure little "Nig" Per rine. and several magnates have been pok ing fun at President Noyes for acting as ; 'Tali guy" for Patsy Tebeau. as they claimed. During the practice season Perrine di( not do any remarkable work at shortstop o ?i rl it m 11 ^ f Ko -irl mit (u.l that Manaffor Pan 11}Ion eonsidered him the "weak sister.' but held onto him with both hands on account of Ills well-known pugnacity aiu ginger.

Several of the New York scribes, whet here with the Highlanders, claimed tha Perrine was simply lucky in his hitting and that he was very ordinary. But th< little fellow has kept up his grand worl and the Boston papers praised him verj highh It will be admitted that Perrint got in several lucky base hits against th< New Yorks. but he continues hitting tht ball along these same lines, and it cannon be ascribed to luck. He is certainly r nervy youngster at the bat when the poini is a critical one. and there has not been a time when he didn't hit the ball on* th< j nose, although it didn't always go safe. | President Noves believes his investment ir Perrine has been an exceptionally good one and it is known for a certainty that he car dispose of the little fellow and make a bii profit on the deal. Tim Murnane. the nestor of base bal writers, does not think it is disrnitieJ ir Manager Cantillon going out on the coach ing lines to help along the Nationals, ani claims that Joe can do just as good worl from the bench- From this point it looks as though the Nationals need the coachlni of Cantillon. as they have been going alonf at an easy rate for the , ast three years and from the way the team has been play ing this spring it would seem that thii contention is right. The Xationa's hav< been altogether too iiuiet when playing witl other clubs, and Manager Joe puts jus enough life into his players to make then understand that they are out for a victor; from the time the first man goes to thi hat until the final out is ieg'stered. Mr Cantillon is certainly responsible, in hi: coaching, for the fighting spirit he lias in stilled into his men. and the way tlte Xa tionals have been contesting every foot o the way v ith the New York- and Hostoi teams has opened the eyes of thi Washington patrons to the true valui of the new manager.

As a retort courteous, it migh | be susscste) that a like demonstration wltl : the Boston players would do a great dea of good a'nd perhaps lanJ them in the tlrs ! division. I Bob Ganley's record in Thursday's game witli Boston, thief* hits, a base on ball! and a drive toward Collins that toi-x a great stop to prevent goin^" safe, looked like the "r al goods" to Manager Cantillon. In speaking of Ganley recently Cantillon said: "Don't lose any sl/?ep over Ganley. 1 tell you he is a first-class player in every i department of the game and I am not a bit sorry ! has had the bad lurk of getting a poor start in Washington. Had h started oft* the way he was traveling on the practice trip he would have set the real fans' daffy and he would have had to keep it up to please everybody. Now he ran work his wav into the natrons' eon fidence anil he will have everybody swearing bv him before the season is a month Old." Ganlfy's work is on the Keeler order, not being a slugger with the bat. but a place hitter, and he will get to first manj times through his good judgment in waiting out on a pitcher wlio is a little wild.

D 5 HOLY CROSS NOSED S OUT GEORGETOWN Special Dispatch to The Star. 1 WORCESTER, Mass., April 20.?One of the best college base ball games of the '' season, anil, in fact, the most brilliant game played at Worcester, was on between the ; Holy Cross anil Georgetown universities t yesterday afternoon, which went the full nine innings without either team crossing the plate and which the former team barely nosed out after an extra inning had been played, score 1 to 0. It was not base ball weather by far in ' Worcester, as a steady downfall of snow ^ kept the teams undecided as to whether they could pull off the contest or not. The attendance was very large considering the inclement weather, it being esti_ nutted that 3,500 people were present to witness the annual game between these two friendly rivals. A large delegation of e Georgetown rooters accompanied the team e and made themselves heard whenever a ^ Jty 1/fJ&J./4 UA\ * 1 cxoss^jVArvpthx \V 1 11 A. cfjt **xe/tr. ^"^-' -, , -) GOOD& "Wonder What Men A A IbrF A Swell Sp Fabrics W value that offers unmis supplying your tailoring fhe line of fabrics to sel ght, dark and medium ed and plain suitings, ; rhe suit you order will J to fit and satisfy.

Mansfield cracked out a corking two-bagger that hit the Hag pole in left field, was sacrificed by Cahlll and scored when Cashen hit a grounder to Smith. It was thought had Smith not lost his head lie could have easily nailed Mansfield at the plate, but after gathering the grounder in In good style he seemed bewildered, not knowing what to do with it. He finally threw to head the runner ofT at the plate, hut the hall went wild and hit the runner, thus the only score of the game wii? made. The teams played about th- same fast game both at the bat and In the field, each having made two errors, but Holy Cross was more fortunate with the willow, getting seven safeties to the Washington boys' six. A fast double-play when Georgetown had a man on third and one on second which retired the side proved very discouraging to the losers. This dose was handed out to Georgetown again in the tenth. Both pitchers were in fine condition and came out of the baltle with about even nonors. smith at third corner tor Georgetown played a great game, accepting twelve out of thirteen chances.

BASE BALL NOTES. The Athletics have always been "hoodoos" to the Nationals in the Quaker city, but perhaps Manager Cantillon can break it up. Case Patten may hook up with Plank this afternoon, and if they come together the contest should be a great one. The Boston Americans will work in New York today under Manager Huff. Goat Anderson has not been much of a whirlwind since butting in the Pittsburg outfield. V Jake Berkley is old only in service. Nobody has more pepper and enthusiasm this spring than the veteran. I Keefe showed himself to New York for the first time, and they like him. Don't make any mistake about that fellow. He can pitch.?New York Evening World. Kindly gave him for the Nationals. George Rohe is belting the bail for the Sox this season just like he did In the world's championship series. Somebody told Willie Keeler the other day that he was pulling away from the plate. "I'll step into the next one." said Willie. He did so and a pitched ball smashed his thumb. Danny Hoffman is the first player of 'Jreater New York to make a home run on Knickerbocker land. He won a half earload of prizes, running from chewing tobacco to Brahma hens. A college coach is going to teach the Boston base ball idea how to shoot. It will be Interesting to see tne eriect 01 mis novei scheme for managing a professional ball cluo. The experiment will be well worth watching. ?i?klng an early spring prediction, it looks to ^ie man In the snow shed as though Chance's Cubs will be the team the Giants have to beat. Whatever boost Hal Chase got from Mr. Farrell he seema to be earning. The New iork magnate has made much larger bets on Roseben, and Hal is certainly the Roseen of first basemen. Jake Welmer, who deserted the Reds to j manage one of Jimmy Callahan's independ ent teams in cnicago, piayea to ruiiy $..jo in his first game. The chances are that Jake will join Cincinnati soon. When Ed Reulbach, the Cubs' crack twirler, tofd the national commission that he couM sign with any club he chose, Garry Hermann replied: "Let me see if you can choose Chicago." Ed. did. Barney Dreyfuss found that the plan of allowing his players $3 per didem for meals was unsatisfactory and quickly dropped It. Expert diners complained of hunger, whllf those of1 an economical turn of mind were accused .of laying up at 10-cent soup houses. The Toronto club, with another catcher, =1=jjj tz Will Say Today?"

Manager "Joe" Kelley expects to land a backstop from the Boston Americans, perhaps Shaw, the former Bison, or Armbruster, the former Connecticut Leaguer. "I've got the best hitting club in America." says Clark Griffith. "I hope to piCit up a couple of pitchers during the year. Doyle looks to be an all-season winner, and I am much impressed with Keefe. I consider l*aporte a coming third baseman." Big Ed. Walsh of post-season fame is said to have a promising brother who has shown some speed as a twirler. He was tried out by Newark last spring, and has now signed with Birmingham. Ed, by the way, has started off the new season with his great "spitball" working in tine form. THREE FAVORITES SPLIT AQUEDUCT'S CARD NEW YORK, April 20.?Old-fashioned Guttenburg weather prevailed at Aqueduct yesterday, yet the usual crowd of 10,000 racing enthusiasts braved the elements. It snowed nearly all the afternoon and the track, while not heavy, was slow. Three favorites and two second choices won and all were heavily supported. The most interesting feature was the first appearance of the four-year-old Dr. Gardner. for wihom Timothy D. Sullivan and Frank J. Farrell paid ?li>,000 to Barney Sehreiber last summer. The colt had received a careful preparation at the hands of Trainer Frank D. Weir, and as he is believed to have a brilliant future his per formance was awaited with eagerness by \ all turfmen. He started in the second * event, a handicap at six and a half furlongs. carrying top weight, 126 pounds.

Robson had been thinking for some time of quitting this , country, but delayed his departure until after the Attell-O'Toole bout here last Wednesday. Had Attell made a good Impression against* O'Toole; the indications were that Robson would remain here and take Abe in a long: bout in the west. Attell, however, did so poorly against.O'Toole that it ruined all chances for a big offer for another Robson-Attell bout for some time. According to his present plans. Robson will take a long rest on his arrival in England and return to America about tire eiyl of September in order to get on a fight with the best man here for the championship of the world. Before leaving Philadelphia Thursday, Robson made the following statement: "I wish to thank the American public for the treatment I have received on this trln. and I am sorry that X cannot sufficiently express my feelings <>n the matter. Every one seemed to be trying to do all in h!s power to make my stay agreeable, and I value the friends I have made in Philadelphia. "My real reason for going home is that I cannot stand the heat here in the summer, and I dread being here when the hot speils come. Last year I was unable to do myself justice In the summer, and now that I have demonstrated my ability against such men as Abe Attell, Tommy Murphy and Toung Erne. X don't want to take chances of bfring hrtQton hv tho hoot When T nnmo In the fall I shall be pleased to make a match with any man in the country at 12<j pounds , and fight to a finish for the championship of the world. Since I met Attell I h&ve re- , ceived offers from San Francisco to meet I Attell in twenty rounds; from Lymansville, j R. I., for fifteen rounds with Attell; from New York for eight rounds with Tony Ben- ( der; from Dayton, Ohio, for twenty rounds with some man to be selected; a proposition i from Tonopah.

Y., April 20.?Cornell defeated the team from the Seneca Indian reseivatlon at lacrosse yesterday afternoon by the score of 3 to <>. but not until the red men had given the Ithacans a bad scare and forced them to exert themselves to the limit. All through the first half the Ithacans were continually on the defensive. The fine work of the Cornell defense, particularly of Boardman and Britton, prevented any scoring. In the interim between the halves Coach Maguire severely lectured his men. In the last six minutes Darling and Main got by the defense and put the ball into tho net. A new star appeared on the Cornell team in the person of Boardman, third defense. a newcomer in Cornell lacrosse ranks. He played a remarkably brilliant defensive game and is considered the find of the season.
