Mr.. Augustus Schmelz, the genial man
ager of the Washington Baseball Club,
has signed contract with President wag-
ner, and viii next season. for the third
year. lead the Senatorial aggregation on
to victory-or defeat.
SchmelZ signed the contract ON Saturday
last when he was in Philadelphia. and
thereby saved the Washington fans the
trouble of guessing who would have the
handling of the team next year.
While under the management of Gus, the
Senators Will at least do wen as can be
expected with the resources at hand.
He made one great mistake last year
and that was in not having fun force OF
substitute outficlders. When a strcak of
hard luck came our way and, one after
another. the boys were disabled, pitchers
had to be put in to fill their places. on
several occasions as many as three OF them
were playing at one time.
COST THEM MANY GAMES.
schmelz realized how much this mistake
cost him, and next year will have a fun
force of substitutes at hand So far, his
plans for next season are some what vague.
He will keep the makeup of the team just
about as il is with the exception of the new
men who will he signed for sub" duty.
The new pitcher, Moles worth, who was
put in against the QuakeTs in the first
game last Saturday, will be given an
other whack at them when they cross
bats with the Senators the latter part of
this week SchmelZ is confident that the
youngster has the making of good south
paw twirler in him ard will use him stead
iIy in practice until he gains some conf
dcnce in his own ability.
1t was asking good deal of the boy,
vino by the way is only nineteen years old,
to go up against strong team like the
Philles before an audience of nearly Ia,
600 people As Molesworth said himself,
there were more people watching that
one game than lived in the town he came
from
The Brooklyns w i'll be taken on TO day FOR
two games, the first of which will begin
at O'Clock and the second played imnedi-
ately afterwards.
MERCER WILL PITCH.
Mercer will be put in the box to do the
| twirling in the first game and Anderson will
probably be utilized in the second. In case
he should not be up to pitching a hard game
Malarkey will be used in his place.
The fans have the drubbing that the Sena-
tors gave the Bridegrooms when they were
here last Friday, fresh in their minds and
will turn out with the expectation of Seeing
the thing repeated.
The crushing defeat that suffered at
the hands of the Philadelpbias will not have
much influence in keeping them away, as
the Phillies are playing great ball just about
this time and many baseball folks expect to
gee them take fall out of the Champion
Baltimores when they meet them next Mon
day in the Monumental City.

CoRBETT STARTS TRAINING
Fitzsimmons VIII Leave for Texas
Early This Week

New York, Sept. 15.-Champion jim
Corbett was at his training quarters at
Loeb Arbor yesterday and did some light
preparatory work. He will start into

he had not gone into training.
Fitzsimmons is preparing to leave for
Texas, where he will continue his training.
Il want to get there as soon as possible
and get acclimated," said Fitzsimmons.

There are only two races oD the pro-
gramme at st. Asaph given over to the dogs
and the sport promises to be first-class in
every respect. There are one or two very
cinchey looking things on the card, but they
are the very kind that fall through and
dump the talent
The opening race has nine carded and
when they are carefully 'doped" out there
only appear TO be two who have a chance to
capture the money OF these two Senator ap-
pears to be the better and Dutch Lady the
next The others are very poor lot, but
Miss Modred should get third money.

good contest between Inheritance and Fred

The latter ran good race the last time he
was ont and seemed to want that race to put
him on edge. If Carpenter is not lobster he
should get third money.
The third event should go to Clara Belle.
She has not been out in some time, but in
any kind of condition should defeat the

capture second money, with Repetition
having the best chances to run into third
position.

ing chance is Lumberman. He isin good trim
now and will be the one fighting it out with
Sonora when the wire is reached. Harry
Warren and Harvest should be the runners
up.

there will be something crooked with the

The game that Frank Wier attempted to
work with his Pomona Belle" was a cute
one and yesterday was the subject of much
criticism. 1t was asserted by many that
the price did not suit him and lie saved him
self from losing a big roll.
If he did bet on the horse, which is very
likely, then he got it where the chicken got
the AK in the worst kind of a way. Ii is
not cinch that the association did not drop
TO the deception which was being practiced
and tipped Starter Cassidy off.
The mare was all but left at the post. It's

she had gottenaway. She has been W orking

That high and mighty body, the stewards
of the Jockey Club, knew perfectly wen
when they issued the amnesty that il would
catch many of the owners here who thought
they could make living on the big tracks
and they also thought it would be the means
OF closing up the outlaws.
question that might be asked them
is why did they not extend this offer earlier
in the season. 1t was proposed TO them
then, when it would have done the outla ws
some good, but they did not act upon it
until the end of the season when they knew
there was not one chance in a hundred
for the outlaws to make cent out of the
offer.
Their reputation for 'grabology'' is
so well known that the only wonder is that
they succeeded in getting anyone to place
enough faith in the offer TO even consider
it for a moment. They succeeded, however,
in doing just what they wanted and the
deluded owners who have taken the halt
will come to their senses when they and their
horses are starving.
