Three victories have been scored by the ationals In a row, not because the team as played better ball in these samos lan It has heretofore, but because the itching has been of the kind that the atiunals need to win games. Groom, Johnson and Relsllng have lown splendid form in the last three imes. in which their opponents have ored but two runs. McAleer's team has scored just about ? often as It did during its losing reaks. but those runs were wasted beiu?e the pitching was weak. Now that te pitchers seem, to have gained their ?rm good base ball can be expected from ic locals. The team, with good pitching, anything but a tail-end proposition. Whenever the pitching has been anywhere ?ar even the Nationals have compared sry favorably with their rivals, and they ill continue to do so if the pitching connues. McAleer takes his team's showing in le last three games as a matter of ?urse. "We would have won right from ic jump had our pitchers been right," lid he. "But we seem just to be getting Ito shape. I always felt that we could in with good pitching, for I like the >irit of my team. They hustle right awn to the end and every player gives ie team the best he has. That sort of a am is sure to win and that is why hen they were coming bad for us I could at feel discouraged. But I am satisfied aw that from this out we will give a fry gcod account of ourselves." When the Cleveland players left the irk yesterday they were a disgusted t, not so much over the loss of the ime as the fact that Doc Relsling had saten them. "How did he get away with ?" queried one player. "Had his pock;s full of horseshoes," replied another, rhat McAleer has his nerve to pitch a iiy like that against us," put In another, rhe next team he faces will knock him it of the business in an inning." That Is just the sort of pitcher Reisng is. The teams he beats v<annot beeve that he has anything. It was so fsterday. Every player that faced him it a toe hold for a good swing, but bile Reisling did not appear to have a >t of stuff he was using gooa judgment II the time, and it was this that oountI. Not having pitched for weeks, he as naturally a trifle wild at times. He arted poorly, too, but improved as he ent along, and but for an error would ive scored a shut-out. Whenever a itcher can get away as did Reisling esterday there is no question about his aving something, though the opposing atsmen may not recognise it. There is nothing pleases the public tore in a ball player than to And him ustling at all times, and that the tortcomings of such a player are overtoked was shown in the case of Klberild yesterday. The Kid was unforjnate enough to get hold of the moistned spot on the ball, resulting from eisling using the spit-ball, and two 'lid heaves resulted, both of which ireatened to turn the result of the ame. But as the inning was over the rowd applauded him, for no other rea:>n than that it admires the little fell's grit and nerve. He works from lie time he gets on the field until the ame is over. He tries to be in every lay. runs out everything as hard as e can, is always In the game and ever displays that tired feeling. What i more. Elberfeld has lived down the eputation of being a disturber. He is opular with his teammates, attends to is own affairs, but works, for the'best aterests of the team.

It wfll cost any player indulging in bunting or bat- jj| ting *.>, and the umpire romes to the j ; grounds early to enforce-this rule. r When Doc Gassier was with Boston lie h broke up many a hall game here with ! ? his long drives. When he joined the j" ranks of the locals there were those who ] 2' expected him to knock a board off of the i 2, fence every time he came up, which, of j * course, he' did not do. Though he has ? held his own with the stick s'nce coming 1 r. here, there have been frequentinquiries ; as to why Doc did not bat as he did with i I Boston. Well, yesterday Doc gave one of f J his Boston exhibitions, ax a result of which he will have increased his ward- . robe materially. That home-rttn--drive K over Flick's head brought Doc a variety Ei of things. _ G< j Omohundru, the tailor at "8l8 F street. 1. ' presents Oee-sler with a suit- of clothes. ! James F.

Only a jj foot or so more and It would have gone ' Bi over. P' * JjV Clyde Milan is batting in very hard luck. He has had something like five j p. or six line drives caught in the last : three games. Yesterday Graney caught; j two of them in center field, both o? j ! which would have been triples had they i been a few feet to either side of the: fielder. But so long as Milan is hitting 1 he will get iiis share of hits. To offset. 1 the line drives that are caught he will j jj beat out some high bounders after awhile a, and drop a few Texas leaguers over M the infield. 4; Fi Tom Crooks will leave tonight to join & the Jersey City team of the Eastern 81 League. T1 The members of the local team yester- 0 day made up a purse of $25 4whlch they 1 sent to the widow of First Baseman j L/exter of the New ' Orleans team., who , ? accidentally killed himself while out hunt- i I fng last winter. The request for funds came from George Rohe. formerly of j i the White Sox, who is now playing with ! 1 New Orleans. - ; w ?

USE OF RACE TRACK Contest May Be Pulled Off in San Francisco?Selection of Referee a "Stall." I * SAN FRANCISOO, May 17.?With the apparent settlement of the troublotis ref- , eree Question, which was reached at yes- j terday's conference hy the selection of Promoter Tex Rickard to preside over the ; Jeffries-Johnson battle July 4. the.sporting fraternity barely had time to draw a j breath of relief before ominous rumors of .trouble at Emeryville plunged them Into uncertainty and apprehension regarding the scene of the championship conteat. . ! A widely circulated report from Oakland i that the fight promoters have been vvarni ed that the authorities may not permit the contest to be held at Emeryville proved to be founded an something more , tangible than idle gossip, for District At- , torndv William Dor.ohue admitted that he I j was i preparing an opinion on the law | Covering the right to hold -the fight and Sheriff Frank Barnet. stated that he was awaiting the verdict of Dcnohue. The most disquieting to the promot[ ers of the many rumors is that Thomas H. Williams, president of the t I California Jockey Club, who controls; the Emeryville race track, where it has' been planned to build a mammoth arena for the ring battle, has withdrawn his support from the pugilistic enterprise and has informed Promoter Rlckard that he must find some other : place in which to bring the fighters toj gether. When asked to confirm or deny the rumor, Williams refused-to do either, saying that he did not care to discuss the matter at all. May Select Richmond. ' Another report lias it that Rickard; ; and Gleason are negotiating with the i people at Richmond, who provided a [ meeting place for the recent fight between Ad Wolgast and Battling Nelson when the lightweights were barred i from other transbay towns. * The possibility of an enforced change ! of location for the holding of the con! test has turned speculation to San Francisco itself, and many profess belief the promoters have turned their attention to this city. It is pointed out i that two excellent locations for staging ' the big bout are to be had within the ! limits of San Francisco, where no lio.si tiiity from, the .city oiliclals would- be I encountered. ! Attention* -likewise is redirected as a result of. the disturbed situation to the announcement recently made by Rickard that he was planning to secure a permit for the light from the Nevada authorities. The choice of Rickard for referee, following turbulent incidents enacted at yesterday's conference, is construed by many as merely a tentative selection, or in the | parlance of the ring "a stall' to give; the fighters a chance to get together on , some one else. Selection a Stall. j Richard's erstwhile attitude on the uuti ter and a remark he dropped yesterday; [ to the effect that he would gladly waive , his appointment in favor of any one upon : whom Jeffries and Johnson might agree, ^ account largely for this deduction. Only : the other day Rickard said: j "Not for a million dollars would I referee that fight if 1 could get out of it." Johnson knocked ofT training yesterday afternoon to attend the referee conference. East night he was in his automobile riding a-bout the city.

May 17.?Billy Murray, former manager of the Phillies, is resting from his labors at French Lick ' and spending a part of that $10,000 which i he got from the club. Bill will soon go scouting for the Pittsburg club, and Barney D'reyfuss could secure no abler man. It was Murray who got together the present Philadelphia club, which is composed of stars,, but had difficulty in pulling together. Next year Mr. Murray expects to be the owner of a minor league club in a good league. There is no ciub in the National League j which, lias a better staff of scouts than Pittsburg. On the Pacific coast the veteran George Vanhaltren picks them out for prayfuas, and also sees that the local club doesn't set stung with a lot of dead ones at big prices.

That orastic endeavors are to be made to get together a crew at Georgetown University before next Saturday of sufficient strength to prove its worthiness as a Poughkeepsie contender became evi aent yesteraay atiernoon. wnen coacn Dempsey made such a radical change in the line-up of his varsity eight that besides the coxswain there Is but one other man in the boat rowing in the same position he held down Saturday. In the new arrangement, Carr, wnn stroked the second eight Saturday, replaces Ounnlff at stroke, the latter being shifted to No. 2. Coultry is promoted from No. 5 to No. 7. while Daiiey is sent to the bow from the second mentioned seat. Stohlman will still hold down No. tS. with Crosby rowing No. 5, Power rowing No. 4 and Capt. Murray rowing No. 3. Crosby and Power were both sent up from the second crew, while Murray was changed from starboard to port. Carroll, Joliet and I,angan were relegated to the reserves, where they will be held as substitutes until some other shift mak^s way for them to go back to the first crew. If such a shift does not materialize, and there is little reason for believing it will, these men will then be forced to wait another year before attaining their varsity ambitions, by which tlrpe their experience and increase in size should make them valuable candidates. The principal points to be noted In the new make-up of the crew is that all nine of the occupants of the boat have had real experience in races before this year. It was generally accredited to the inexperience of some of the men that the varsity lost its form Saturday, so that the exclusive use of veterans is certainly a strong reason for believing the new * California is'SO for 11# I 11 < of a prominent j Qoi'rt-oc n f o nriro t vjv.1 gv-o ai a pi iva* nsists of herringst $25.00 values th the cheap adicent goods, and that will be the or $15.50.

BLUE AND GRAY MEETING. > 1 ? j General Athletic Association to Elect New Officers Next Sunday. At the annual meeting of the general ; athletic association of Georgetown I'niversity. which will be held at the college Sunday, it is anticipated that the question ! of basket ball being reinstated under the ! general committee, the same as it was previous to last winter, will be thrashed ' out and definitely settled. This is prob' ably the most important item of business which will come before the assembly, and on t.ifs point there is Bure to be great i discussion. It is well known that the management of the indoor game under u separate as! KAriatlnn u'a& nrit n Kii^r^UK Vinnnrinllv the season made ends meet, but very few : of the undergraduates taw the game* which were played, and there is u general impression tliat if the team was carried :, 011 as it was two years ago more candidates would report and a stronger quint i would be gotten together. For this reaj son a move is on foot to have tlie sport j retained, and to elect a manager from the | college, the same as is done 0:1 other i branches. Besides the question of basket bail being discussed, assistant managers are to be elected for base ball, track and crew. In these three departments the present assistant managers will be promoted to tho managership and new men will be elected from either the freshman or aophomoro classes. Nominations will be made within a day or so and from then 011 a warm campaign will be waged uutil after the elections. A president of the yard and a secretary and a treasurer are also to be chosen to succeed the incumbents of those offices. ail of whom will graduate this June. In this election onh' the Jnnior class will have a nomination, and for this reason there will be little electioneering. , except that which takes place previous to the preliminary meeting of the clan association. This will take place tomorrow morning. . ,
