Lc .Ving ton, Va.. April T.?Baseball
practice ai the Virginia .Military In?
stitute ibis week has neon next to
impossible, on account of tjle wci con?
dition of the diamond, and Hie rains
?which have so far fallen almost con?
tinually every day of tho week. This
is, of course, a great handicap to the
team, especially at the beginning Of
the season, for none <>f the men are in
their liest condition at this time.
At most, tile cadets never have over
on hour and a half lor practice each
afternoon on account of military du?
ties, which begin shortly after I
?o'clock, and when they are prevented
by rain from getting even this small I
amount of practice, the loss Is al?
most irreparable. The team needs
practice badly. No on.- who saw tho
men work in tin-, tirst two games of j
the season can deny this. But if fair!
?weather continues for several days
there is no doubt that the endet? will
imow marked Improvement in the near
future, both in fielding and in hitting.
To day, the first time since las; Sat?
urday, the ground war. dry enough to
permit practice, and Coach W hit,- had
the squad out and at work before ;t
o'clock. The spirit winch the men
exhibited this afternoon deserves com?
mendation. Ali of them retinae the set
hack, which tint bad weather and the
fonsecjuent loss of practicehave given
1 hem, and I hey ate trying to overcome
this disadvantage as much as possible
by hard, co.nsc,lontidus work.
Batting, base running and working
of the pitchers constituted the prac?
tice this afternoon. ThroeKiuorton;
[Ely ami Leech .all worked the box
successively. They were required to
pitch as steadily as if I hoy wer.- play?
ing in a regul?r game, and the batters
in order \vero sent to face them, the
KCirul) team doing the fielding. Tills
continued for an hour and the after?
noon's work ended with a varsity In?
field practice of fifteen minutes.
On Saturday V. M. I. meets Fishburn
Military Academy on the paru?e
.ground here. Fctr.er's boytt always
Jtnow the game well; and have never
fniiod to put up a slroiig light against
V. M. I. Their material is perhaps bet?
tor than that of any other preparatory
school in Virginia. The game has every
prospect of heilig a hotly contested
one, and the exhibition Of hall playing
?will doubtless he very good.

Derrick found Boycc for a doiibie,
and Iben the awfulness of it all hap?
pened. Kmuse waited out two, and
instead of taking the next one w...ctt
tloatcd unsuspectingly over the middle,
ho cut out the safety valve, turfned on
full pressure, and somewhere on the
other side of left held fence the l'?ys
an- still looking; for the ball. In the
meantime l-lauser and Perrich set the
pace around tin- circuit tor the hefty
individual, who was responsible for
what happened. And before all this
there were two out and an easy chance
which kindly, blue-eyed, good-natured
??Truck" failed to take. And H was
too first inning and there were four
runs scored.
.Not .Much Trouble Scoring,
l-'rotii the awful hegin hing until the
final chapter tie- fusillade continued,
with a few intermittent lapses. The
visitors remained quiet in the second,
but in the third a double by I la user, a
sacrifice by Derrick, which Kuan's sec?
ond error turned into a life, and a hit
by Krause, scored two more.
The fourlh was another blank. How?
ever, the fifth was again fruitful, an
Halter's error put Derrick safely on
the board, from which place he tallied
when Krause hit for two sacks, being
his third consecutive hit of the game
in as many times on the Hiring 1 Tric.'
An error by Baker, his second, put Me?
llitus on second in the sixth, and ho
scored while H?user and Derrick were
being retired. There was nothing more,
doing after this for the volunteers.
1'oIih Mintage to Tally.
The Colts scored in the sixth and
eighth. In the sixth frame Wallace,
doubled, and scored when Griffith, who
lshj.1 a centre fielder, hut a pitcher,
threw wild to third base. In the eighth
two bits and a couple of errors allow?
ed two more to come over the pan.
and that was all.
Truthfully, it was about the poorest
work the locals have done yet. ^ ney
were up against a second second team,
and ninny expected a better showing.
MeCiiho was the banner boy of the af?
ternoon for our side, getting away
with three safe ones but of four times
lip. Krause, for the visitors, was the
Mar. Any lime yon hit for n single,
a double ami a home run in three tries
you are pasting the hbrschlde to sonic
advantage.
Sullivan promises better work to?

It is conceded that the players in
the National and American Leagues
this year will receive more money for
their labors than ever before in the
history of the game. There is no sal
i ary limit, in vogue, and the stipends
i range all the way from $1,500 to near

; lu the Now York Nation als, John

is believed to be the highest paid ball

Among the other big league teams j
the pitchers will, as usual, be the star
performers on the salat y. According
to current reports, the wages of some
of the more important men will run

Practically all the big league clubs,
except Boston, will exceed the $50.000

the players' salaries, the expenses of
each club will include about $8,000 for
railroad fares; $r,,00o for hotel accom?
modations: $6.000 for clerical work;
Slo.000 for rent, and $5,000. for uni?
forms, equipment and incidental?-, or
about $35,000 gross.
The Now York Nationals will top the
list of spenders, owing to the fact
that, the rent of their grounds Is $10.

pense of the club for the year about
$180,000, including the $30,000 spent,

Lynchburg ."Managern Will Hcgln Pick?
ing- Out Men of Team.
Lynchburg, Va., April 7.? Roger Mc
Cormnc, the catcher bought several
weeks ago from Raleigh, of the Eastern
Carolina League, reported to Manager
Stocksdalo, sind the team I? now com?
plete, unless the. manager succeeds In,
signing a southpaw pitcher, whom ho
has been endeavoring to securo for a
week.
The arrival of McCormaa gives the
team four capable catchers. In Lucln,
Bien, Coodfeliow and the now arrival,
and Manager Stocksdale will, no doubt,
hud it a hard proposition to pick tho
two men be will carry through the
season.
While nothing has been said by tho
management as yet. there Is little or
no doubt about Lucia holding his job
Mid if this proves to be tiie case, thro*
men will begin the fight for the other
place open behind tho bat.
The team, at any rate. Is going to
be strong behind tho bat this year,
unless all signs fall at this time.
