BOTH HIT The BALL HARD
But the Mail Handlers PLAYED Better
Than the Army and Navy Team.
They Made Many Pretty Plays in
the Fteld-Sprigman Dis
tinguished Himself.

The Postoffice Department team out
batted the Army and Navy nine, and by
so doing won sharp game, at Rational
Park, yesterday Afternoon. The sport
was interesting and exciting throughout,
as both teams hit the ball hard ana made
many pretty plays in the field. Had it
not been for the Soldiers, and Sailors weak
ness in the box, they would undoubtedly
have given the PoStoffice nine a close call,
as they fieided in an excellent manner
and were at no loss for hits.
The mail handlers gave beautiful cx-
hibition OF timely stick work, being greatly
strengthened by the hitting Of Jim sprig-
man, who played the game with two trip
lets, double and two singles his credit.
He also held down second base in mag
nificent manner.
Mckee played an excellent short, and
Chapman 5atted well. Brown pitched
good game, aud was given clever support
behind the bat by McWhorter. The Army
and Navy team put Andre in TO pitch,
but bis sore arm allowed him but two in
nings. Dolan was tried, but was very
wild
Gibson then tried his hand at it, and was
somewhat a puzzle for a time, but the
Postofficers hit him hard towards the lat
Ter part of the game. McManaway, as usu-
al, caught them all in good style behind
the bat. Dolau and Andre each used the
stick to good advantages The score:

QUICK WORK BY MAHER
The Irishman Puts Marshall to Sleep
in One Round.
Referee Alone Saved the Ambitious
Englishman from Clear Knock
Out-Creedon Bests Dunfee.

CoDey Island, N. Y, May 20.-After
several months OF idleness the Athletic
Club opened up here tonight, and the
Sea Beach Palace presented an animated
appearance. Among those present was
Champion Corbett
The principal bout was that between
Peter Mabcr. the Irish champion, and the
representative of England, Bob Marshall,
who. as an unknown quantity, is anxious
TO climb into prominence in the heavy
weight division. In addition, Joe Dun
fee, of Syracuse, was scheduled to meet
Dan Creedon. of Australia.
The first bout on the programme was Il
Haugh, of Brooklyn, and Dolly Lyons, of
New York. The referee, Johnny Eckhardt,
declared Lyons the winner.
The second bout brought out Joe Dunfee,
of Syracuse, and Dan Creedon, of Aus
tralia; twelve rounds at 100 pounds. Cree
don won.
The Marshall -Maher fight was next in
order. The big EnSlishman, Bob Marshall,
was the first to appear but he was soon
followed by Peter Maher. 1t was an
nounced that Paddy Ryan would challenge
the winner.
AS soon IS the men stripped aud shook
hands, Marshall was seen to be extremely
fat. Maher went at him like "a cyclone and
rained right and left hand blows on his
head and Jaw.
The Briton went to his knees four times
and then went down and rolled over on his
back. Referee Eckhardt saved him from
knockout by stopping the bout in the first
round at the end OF forty-five seconds.
Maher tried TO go on despite the efforts
of the referee, who restrained him from
giving one mere punch to the big fellow
who had Tegained his feet.
Maher was declared the winner aud the
crowd went wild cheering.

TRYING FOR HIGHER HONORS
Georgetown and PENNSYLVANIA Varsity
Teams Contest Tomorrow.
Comparison of the Relative Strength
of Several Big College Teams.
Sketches of "Pennsy" Players.

The eyes of the whole college world will
be on to-morrow's game between George
town and Pennsylvania Varsity teams, to
be played on Georgetown field. Especially
will Yale and Princeton eagerly watch for
the result, for the outcome in great measure
rests their standing in the final summary
at the close Of the season.
Inasmuch as neither Yale nor Princeton
will play with 'Pennsy, they can make no
boasts of supremacy in college baseball
unless they defeat teams which have de-
feated Pennsylvania.
Princeton has made twice as good show
ing as Yale against teams which both met
before coming together, yet Yale pulled
out victory in a close and exciting 1 TO
contest between the two. Then again
"Pennsy'' lost game to Cornell after
Princetongave Tn elattertw good dubbings
With our local Varsity team little doubt
exists as to their clear title TO the college
championship. They have defeated not
only one or two Of the leading college
teams, hut bested them all and have made
the victories so decisive that there is no room
left for the cry of accident"
To clinch this claim it is necessary to
defeat Pennsylvania and Princeton once
again. Our local sluggers have won game
from each of the above and by winning one
more they Will silence all competitive.
claims.
This feat they hope to accomplish to-nor-
row. With good weather, the thousands
who will undoubtedly attend the game at
Georgetown will be treated to one OF the
greatest games OF baseball ever played on
the college diamond.
Schoenut is the pitcher upon whom
Pennsy relies to do the greater part OF the
pitching. Hehasgood speedaDd curyeSand
is a splendid batsman.
The catching is done by Reunig He is
a sure catcher and an accurate thrower
to bases. He is a good hitter Take him
simply as catcher, he is almost as sure
one as COogan was when on the team.
This is. the third year for GOeckle as
first baseman on the varsity team. Next
to Schoenut he is, perhaps, the most val
liable man on the team.
Cantrell or Smith will play second. The
former has played three years on the team,
and the latter played on the BuckneIl team
and is a good fielder and hitter and
very heady player.
Capt Blakely and Avn, third and
shortstop, respectively, are playing first
class ball.
The outfield at present is rather an IN
known quantity.
Hollister is fixture at center. Last
year he was short stop and captain, and he
is valuable player, because of his splendid
fielding and batting.
Either German and Gray or Grissinger
will play left and right respectively to-
morrow. Gray is the only one of the three
who has played in the Varsity team, but
they are all reliable fielders, and fairly
good batsmen
For the Georgetown team little need be
said, as their splendid individual work is
already well known.
Big Mike" Mahoney Will pitch, and old
reliable Sullivan viii catch in to-morrow's
game.
The game will be called at 4:15 O'Clock.

HEARING LAND SUITS,

Cases Of Considerable Interest in the
Northwest Before the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The United
States supreme court is engaged in
hearing the arguments in three cases to
which various settlers in Iowa on the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and
Sioux City and St.. Paul companies
lines are parties. The cases involve the
ownership o. about %, 900 acres Of land
along the lines Of these roads, which
the Sioux City company claims was
granted to it by the government of the
United States in 1854. It is claimed on
the part of the settlers that the rail-
road company failed to earn the land
by failure to build part of its line
within the time specified in the act.
The lands have all been settled and i'm
proved and are considered valuable.
