NATIONALS AND DALLAS IN TIE GAME,
LOCALS MAKE ONLY THREE HITS.
S>erUl Ditpitch to The Stir.
DALLAS. Tex, March CI.?Manager
f'antlllon and Lis husky band of Wash
ington players ran against a snag yes
terday in the shape of a clever left-hand
ed pitchcr by the name of Moore. The
best the visitors could do against the
"kid" was three hits, ?nd as a result,
after seven innings of play. the game was
stopped on account of rain with the score
standing 1 to 1. There were practically
only three left-handed batsmen to face
Moore?CI yrner, Ganley and Freeman?
and big Jerry copped two hits. Charley
Street made the other hit, so that the
right-handed batsmen had no excuse to
offer. Moore sent over slzzlers through
out the seven innings, and. having good
control, kept the ball close to the inside
edge of the plate.
Walter Johnson worked the first three
Innings for the Nationals and he and
Moore had a battle royal, the Washing
ton boy having the better of the argu
ment, as not a ball was knocked outside
the diamond, while a couple of long drives
were pulled down by the Texas out
fielders.
In the fourth Charley Smith relieved
Johnson and the Nationals forced their
single run over the plate. Ganley worked
out a pass to first and scampered to
second and then to third on passed balls. (
t'nglaub took three swipes at the ball
without result, but Jerry Freeman proved
the man of the minute by hammering out
a clean single and Ganley rushed home.
Smith was hit safely four times, three
singles and a scratch, but Charley refused
to curve the ball, simply depending upon
speed and control.
Big Bill Burns went out on the rubber
In the seventh, and as it had started to
rain, he endeavored to hurry things, with
the result that he gave a base on balls
to Conoway and then followed it up with j
a wild pitch. Then cam" an error by ,
McBride and Conoway dashed to third.
Maloney then hit a slow roller toward
light that Fnglaub tried to tome in on
In a hurry, and as a result his feet slipped |
from under him and a wild throw to the j
plate resulted, Maloney scoring the tying
run.
The rain continued to increase in force !
and at the end of the seventh the game
was called.
The New York Giants were in the
grandstand watching the game and the
Washington hoys had to stand for a great
deal of guying, as the Dallas team had
liten easy for McGraw and his crew last
Sunday.

Anson's Colts Coming.
Anson's Colts, a Chicago semi-profes
sional outfit, are booked to play the Com
missioners of this city at American
League park April 5.
This contest is expected to draw out a
large crowd, a? the Colts will come highly
recommended. Incidentally the local fans
wil have an opportunity to get a line on
the strength of a' semi-professional aggre
gation. The Colts will play a series of
games while east. Their first game will
be played at Wheeling. W. Va., April 3
and 4. and from there they come on here
to meet the strong Commissioner team.
Other games have been arranged for the
team in Baltimore, Newark, Trenton, and
New York. They -will meet some strong
teams while east, prominent among them
being the New York Giants.
The management of the Ccftnmissioner
team will put up a strong defense and the
probabilities are that a fast game will
result.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
LEAGUE'S NEW TEAMS
At a meeting of the Sunday School
League last night three teams to
fill the vacancies of the Grace. Waugh

dist by r. D. Holmes and the Peck
Memorial Presbyterian Church by H.,
A. Myers. The teams are made up of
good material and the managers thereof
are confident that they will add much to
making the race for the season of 11)09
one of the most Interesting of the league's
career.
Mr. Carpenter, president of the league,
stated this morning that there will bo a
meeting of the officials Friday evening in
the Ninth Street Christian church, -it
this meeting the election of officers and
reorganization of the league for the com
ing season will tafce place. A committee
on the schedule will also be appointed.
In order to be in the pink of condition
for their opening battle, the Ninth Street
ers put in a little time at indoor work
each evening in the basement of the
church. Predictions from this camp are
to the effect that their team will be the
strongest ever turned out by the Ninth
Street Church.
BUSINESS BEATS
ARMY-NAVY PREPS
Business High School find the Army
and Navy Preps hooked up in a live
inning contest at Chevy Chase yesterday
afternoon, the Stenographers winning by
the close score of 6 to r>.
Greer, for Business, pitched a consistent
game of ball till the fifth inning, when lie
found considerable difficulty in locating
the plate, his wildness being largely re
sponsible for the four runs scored by the
Preps in this inning. At this stage of the
game Gregory, the Stenographers' star
first baseman, went in the box and suc
ceeded in checking the Preps' march for a
victory.
In the early stages of the game very
little could be done with Watson's bend
ers. and it was not till the third inning
the Stenographers found him for two
runs. Business annexed four more runs
and. incidentally, won the game in the
fifth inning by taking advantage of passes
to first and the timely singles of Gregory
and Greer.
Fuller, the Preps' first baseman, was
the only player of either team to con
nect safely with the ball for a total of
two hits. The score:

TEAM OF MARINES x
SHOWS UP WELL
The United States Marine Corps base
ball team, which has lately gained admis
sion into the Capital City League, lined
up for the first practice game of the sea
son Sunday afternoon at their new
grounds at 17th and D streets southeast.
Twenty-five men turned out in uniform,
and a regulation game of nine innings was
played between the Regulars and the Van
nigans. If Sunday's game may be taken
as a criterion of the team's ability the
followers of the Capital City League can
count on seeing some first-class ball put
up this season by the soldier boys from
the southeast. Many new men were out,
and from all appearances every position
will be hard fought for. The feature of
the game was the surprising form shown
by Pitcher Riter, last season's star
twirler, who went through six Innings in
fine style, especially considering the cold
ness of the afternoon. Pitchers Litz,
Lewellyen, Rick and I>e Faivre also
showed up well under the existing weather
conditions. The score:

BASE BALL NOTES.
? ? ?>
Tom Hughes and his Yanlgans reached
Topeka at noon yesterday and will begin
practicing today.
The longer the preliminary Reason lasts
the better Jerry Freeman gets. That in
field may yet be changed to Freeman,
Unglaub. McBride and Delelianty, with
Conroy in the outfield.
The White Sox dropped Pitcher Spen
cer and Outfielder Flanagan from the
roll when they departed from Sacra
mento.
It is said in the Athletics* camp that
Ira Thomas has asked to catch all twen
ty-two of the games against Detroit, to
which Connie Mack ha.s assented.
Jiggs Donohue of the Chicago Ameri
cans is still training himself in Chicago
with the University of Chicago candidates
and making a little money on the side.
Gns Dundon, Comiskev's former utility
man, lias just been .carved for appendi
citis. He is getting along well, but will
be unable to rejoin the New Orleans team
for some two months or more.
Herman Schaefer, captain of the Tigers,
has been ordered by his physician to
stop playing ball a-while if he wants to
be in iirst-class health for the opening.
Walter P. Gampfer, who, in ISO), was
for a time pitcher for the Brooklyn Na
tional League ball team, was shot and
killed at Memphis yesterday bv W. A.
Doyle, superintendent of the Bohlen-Huse
Ice Company. Doyle had discharged
Gampfer.
Jake Beckley has finally been forced to
take the count at the hands of Father
Time. Even Kansas City has tagged him
"For Sale." Beckley has been playing
ball for twenty years and has earned
enough of the vile otuff to retire with a
roll which would lino up well with John
D.'s if he had saved it.
Although Dreyfuss is breaking his back
trying to dig up a new first baseman. It
looks as though Abstein will start off the
season at the first peg for the Pirates.
Storke and Kane have shown very little
to date and will probably be shipped back
to the minors.
"Dor" Amole, a well known pitcher,
who is wintering in Hazleton, who several
seasons ago made a star record with Bal
timore and Washington, has under con
sideration a flattering offer to play with
the Williamsport team of the Tri-State
League this summer. Amole says that his
arm is as good as ever. He has been out
of the game one year.
Connie Mack is having the time of his
life in selecting his infield. Davis sure
will be back at first, and Baker, the re
cruit from the Reading club, has the third
base job clinched. Mack has about steen
men to select from for short and second,
but they are all so good that he doesn't
know just where he stands.
Funny how all these leading stickers in
the American League hold out every sea
son for an increase in stipend. Dodo Criss
wants $4,000 this season. In 1906 George
Stone led the league, and in 1007 he was
a month late in reporting to the Browns.
In 1907 Cobb was the candy boy and he
held out for a million-dollar salary last
spring.
George Moriarity is playing great ball
for the Tigers down in the south and it
looks as though he will surely hold down
the difficult corner for Jennings this sea
son. His whip is in great shape and he
is pilfering bases with regularity.
The Chicago Cubs have four veterans
on the club who have been with that team
for an aggregate of thirty-six years.
Chance has seen eleven years' service,
Kling eight. Slagle eight. Tinker nine.
Each of these men, with the exception of
Slagle, who is slipping, is still a star.
The team has more veterans on it than
any other in the major leagues.
Charley Pruitt, who was not steady
enough for either the Red Sox or Cleve
land. started a game for New Orleans
against the Athletics. He was hit for
four hits and two runs in the first in
ning. the Pelicans then putting in other
pitchers, who shut Philadelphia out for
the remainder of the game, the final
score being 2 to 1 in favor of the majors.
Ten pitchers are on Connie Mack's list,
but six will be the limit he will carry.
Eddie Plank, although under weight, is
in good shape and will likely go through
another successful season. Bender, if he
shows the disposition and willingness to
work all through the season that has
characterized his stay In the south this
spring, will also be sure of a place, as no
better righthander is playing ball today.
WILL CONTINUE TRAINING.
Georgetown Decides to Enter
Triangular tfrack Meet.
Manager Corcoran of the Georgetown
University track team yesterday an
nounced that it had been definitely set
tled that the team would be entered in
outdoor meets this spring and would be
gin practicing as soon as the track c-ould
be gotten into condition. This decision
was reached after a conference with Capt.
Gibbs and the inen, and as all are anxious
to continue working it was thought best
to go ahead and arrange for matches.
So far only one meet has been taken
into consideration. This is the triangular
one to be held at Charlottesville between
the local school. Virginia and the Carlisle
MONEY NO OBJECT
IN THE JONES CASE
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. March 24.?
"There will be nothing new in the
Jones case until I sec Jones in
Portland, if 1 do see him," said
Magnate Comiskey. "I leave here
tonight for San Francisco on the
way home by the Canadian route.
I have not written or wired Jones
I was coming, and have made no
appointment with him
"The letter I received from liiin
while I was in San' Francisco was
the las', communication of any kind
that has passed between us. He ,
raid in that that he had quit, and
I let it rest there. I take this op
portunity to declare that the ques
tion of salary has never.come up
between us, either directly or by
implication. He has not mentioned
salary to me nor I to him.
"If Jones has made up his mind
to quit, no salary consideration
could move him I know that he
is n<1t that kind of a man. I shall
not talk salary to him until after
he has consented to return to the
club.
"The team looks good to me as
it is?far better than It did at this
time last year. Of course, it will
be hard to plug that hole in center
field without the man who is in a
' class by himself, both as a ball
player and field manager."
Indians. Of course, men will jbe sent to
the southern fntercollegriates, t?ut most of
the efforts will be directed toward carry- I
ing off the. honors in tl?e closed affair. J
That the competition between these three ;
schools will be interesting and warm is I
certain, since in all cases they are pleat
rivals, each frgainst the other two.
The event will probably come off around i
May 1. thus giving the men plenty of
time to train. Comparison of the three
teams cannot possibly be made with ,
any chance of being right, but as things !
dow stand the hosts will have the best1
chance to carry off the honors. Their
.earn has been taking about everything
in sight during the indoor season, and
with the added strength which will be
derived from Jimmy Rector being again
in action they should be able to roll
up quite a bunch of points in this affair.
However, they will have no easy time
of it, since both the Redskins and Hill- >
toppers are going after the southerners (
with a vengeance: Glenn Warner's bunch j
were by no means at its best indoors,
since, the Georgetown meet was the flrsi |
of this kind for them. But when it comes
to performing on a dirt track they usually
make it hot for those that they run
against. &nd It would hot' be surprising if
they should turn the tables on the Orange :
and Blue.
The West End lads are also going to
make extra efforts to bag the trophy,
and the squad which they brin? to Char
lottesville will not only be the highest
1 sent out by the institution in a number
i of years, but it will also be a speedy
ione. Besides Martin. Boernstine. Smith
and Capt. Gibbs, who. according to the
New York press, had a big chance to
conquer Fordham and Holy Cross in the
relay championship last Saturday night
until one of the four was knocked down ,
by a spectator crossing the track, all j
the other stars of the school will be
brought out and coached for the affair.
Among these it is thought that Rice
and Sehlosser will be found. These
two were disqualified previous to the
Georgetown games, but as this trouble
was purely a technical one. it will mcst |
likely be removed in time to allow
them to again compete. Mulligan and
Maher will be on hand to take care of
the long-distance events, while Martin
and Bibbs can run in the 100 and 440
Boernstine will be entered in the 2':D
and 440, in which events he lias already
won many medals. The meet will give
Tom Smith, the G. U. timber topper,
another chance to show his superiority
over Martin, the champion hurdler of
the Virginia school, and as these two
are great enemies this battle should be
the biggest of the day. Add to this
I squad a number of old stars, such as
I Montgomery, Devine and Munhall, and
| it will be seen that the local college'
will be pretty well rejiresented in tne
track events.
In the field contests things do not
look quite so bright. Big "Cy" McDon
ald, tho base ball star, has promised to
! throw the weights. As will be remem
bered,'he won a great number of med- !
als for Central High while competing
in scholastic circles, and from his pajt
performances lie looks good to win a
few points for Georgetown tossing the
irons. He will be ably assisted at this
work by "Wobby" O'Conor, the fr?sh
man who surprised his following by the
excellent showing he made at the Johns
Hopkins games. Although no one looms
up as a possible pole vaulter, there are
a couple of promising ones for the nigti
jump in the persons of Ed Fitzgerald
and Carter, both of whom took medals
in the gym. meet held last December.
In order that the candidates may
have every facility for bettering their
condition. Manager Corcoran has ar
ranged for the complete overhauling of
the ''quarter-mile track and work will
be started on same without further de
lay, It will be given a good harrow
ing. after which the stones will be
picked off and the stretch measured
and rolled. Volunteer corps of students
will assist in the work in order that
it may be done more speedily and care
fully, for every one on the hill is anx
ious that nothing stand in the way of
the practice of the men who will en
deavor to win track honors out of
doors, as was done in the days when
Duffy and Wefers wore the Blue and
Gray.
RECORMEATED
ON FLORIDA BEACH
World's Time in Four Events
Established at Opening -
of Daytona Races.
DAYTONA, Fla., March 24.?The sev
enth annual Daytona automobile races
opened yesterday with one bicycle, one
motorcycle and two automobile events,
and in every event the former world's
record was annihilated and new records
established to add to the long string of
records held by the world-famed course.
The heavy northeaster of Monday put
the course in excellent condition. One of
the largest crowds that ever witnessed
automobile races in Daytona assembled in
the grandstand and along the course, the
weather conditions being perfect.
The first event was a quarter-mile bi
cycle Gash, in which there were ten start
ers, which included some of the best
riders of the country. The riders got
away good, and, by a fast sprint, Kogler
of Brooklyn flashed across the line a
winner,' closely followed by Root and
Mitten.
The second event was an automobile
race for "JOo miles, open to stock cars
under two classes.
There were three entires for class D
and only one contestant in class E. The
race, however, was reduced to 100 miles
by agreement. I.#ewls Strang drove a
great race in a Buick. going the distance
in 1:34:01 1-5, lowering the world s record
made by Barman on the New Orleans
track last February.
The next event was for the Sir Thomas
Dewar $2,000 trophy, one mile, best two
out of three heats. There were two en
tries?David Bruce Brown, the milliona.re
amateur driver, in the record-breaking
Benz, and Ralph de Pklma in the Fiat
cyclone.
While the present record of "JO 1-5, held
by Marriott, was not broken. Brown on
his third heat hurled his great car across
the line in Jlo seconds flat for the mile,
breaking the world's amateur record for

BROWN PREPS COMING.
Gallagher May Compete in George
town Scholastic Meet.
Jimmy Mulligan, who is at present in
charge of the track team of the Brown
Preparatory School in Philadelphia, was
in town yesterday arranging to bring a
squad of his proteges down to compete
in the Georgetown interscholastic meet
May 1. Before leaving he not only prom
ised Manager Dailey that he would enter
a large number of men. but also said that
he would bring along Gallagher, the great
distance runner, if the lad had not made
a previous engagement for that date.
Definite word about the matter will be
on hand by Sunday.
If Gallagher comes lie will not. take
part in the regular events, but a special
four-mile race will be arranged for him,
in which he will endeavor to break a
record. A couple of his schoolmates will
pace him for part of the distance and a
couple of local lads will be secured to
urge him on the rest of the way. Such
a performance would be a great attrac
tion. as the Philadelphia boy's fame is
growing daily and people everywhere are
anxious to see him in action.
Another institution that has promised
to send along a big team is Loyola Col
lege of Baltimore. A letter from the
! manager of the oriole school said that at
least tiftecn of his men would take part,
and that, if possible, he would have at
least one competitor in each event. A
relay team may also be sent along.
The entry of the two teams above men
tioned puts six full teams already on the
list, making the individual entries number
over fifty. Considering that a week has
hardly elapsed since the invitations uere
sent out. it is easy to see that the schools
of the vicinity are enthusiastic over the
affair, and everything now points to the
games being a big success.
