A Very Spirited Athletic and Gymnas-

no decision was rendered. Hough, Elder,
McElhone, Dudley and Craig of the c. A.

A BATTING STREAK
It Enabled the Bostons to Defeat
the Washingtons.
OVER $4,000 PERSONS AT THE GAME

son at Boston.
NOTES OF THE AYERS

Not one person in twenty expected the
Washingtons to defeat the Boston ball nine
yesterday, consequently their defeat by II
to was no surprise. The Bostons out
class the local team at all points, and as
to team work. there is, of course, no COM
parison. An attempt has been made to
saddle the blame for defeat upon Joyce,
but the score shows that while Joyce gave
a lift by poor throw, he scored a run,and
made two two-baggers, besides getting first
on balls. This is better record than Nash's,
who is the best third baseman in the bust
ness. ''Parson" Nicholson, the new short
stop, accepted nine out Of ten chances,
was in every way creditable Crooks, who
covered second, played in his old 81 form,
which ID right up in class A. He accepted
all his six chances made a double, partici-
pated in a double play and scored a run.
Early last summer the Washington man
agement was advised to secure Crooks to
replace Frank Ward, who, although strong
at the bat,was not fielding his position as it
should be. The suggestion was ignored.
Its wisdom has since been seen, and Jack
will hold the keystone position on the team.
Whether Nicholson is better man than
Joe Sullivan remains to be seen. Joe was

last year. For this reason better work is
expected of 1t.
Over $4,000 saw yesterdays Boston game.
The Senators gave Stocksdale excellent
support, but lost the game in the seventh,
when four doubles and a single gave Bos-
ton seven runs. The score:

THE DEFENDERS RIG.
Dimensions of the Mast, Spars and
Sails.

A Boston paper publishes the exact d.
mansions of the mast spars and sails of
the Defender. Mr.. Iselin was in Boston
yesterday and gave Wilson the order for
an entire suit of sails, the dimensions of
which are as follows: Mainsail, $500
square feet; topsail, 1925 square feet; two
jibs, 1880 square feet; club topsail, 1,S4S
square feet; spinnaker. 7,12S square feet
The dimensions of the balloon sail are not
given because they have not been deter
mined upon. These figures are right as
far as has been determined upon. The
foresail is included in the figures for the
two jibs.
All the sails except the spinnaker and
the jjbs will be made of the best American
cotton duck. The spinnaker and the jibs
material is Mr.. Wilson would not say
The suit will not be ready until the first
week in July.

being marked of in chalk every few feet

ready for shipment from Boston any day
now, but it is said all will go together

AS result Of the spring trip Of the Yale

Trudeau's arm is also in poor condition.

used up and Redington appears overtrain-
ed. The rest of the men are in rather poor
shape.
The trip, while disappointing in regard to
victories, has given the men good, stiff

covers and Carter may continue to play in

A NEW INDOOR GAME.
Carroll Institute Boys Play Battle
Ball-Athletic Features.


The gymnasts of the Carroll Institute
have been trying their hands at new in
door game lately which Prof. Joyce, the
instructor in the gymnasium, thinks is
one of the best indoor games that has ever
been invented. 1t gives the best of physi-
cal exercise without the drawback of
roughness. Its name is battle ball, and
was arranged by DR.. Sargent, the physical
director of Harvard University. 1t is the
first time the game has been tried in this
city, but 1t has met with such success that
it will probably not be long before it makes
its appearance in other gymnaSiums. The
game is comparatively simple and requires
little in the way of preparation and equip
ment.
A court is marked off on the gymnasium
floor, fifty by twenty-five feet, and a cross
line equi-distant from the two ends is
known as the foul line. Seven feet from
each end are placed three pairs of bowl
ing pins or Indian clubs in a row, facing
each other from the two ends Of the court.
Five men are usually played on a side,
although six or more can play about as
well. A round foot bail is used, the same
as in basket ball, the object being to throw
goes through the eighteen-inch space it
counts TO- and if through the larger spaces,
5. and If it goes over the line it counts l
for the opposing side. 1t is a very fast
game. and Is played in halves of fifteen
minutes or more. with rest of five
minutes.
Preparations are going ahead rapidly for
the athletic exhibition at Carroll Institute
which is to come off on the 18th Of the
month. Among those who are to take part
in the different events are the following:
Running high jump. Daily, Gallagher. Arm
strong, Becker and May; putting the shot,
Shea. Eckart, Buckley, Gallagher, Banby
