The Inauguration of the baseball season
of s96 yesterday was propitious affair.
The immense outpouring OF people IN tne
various cities is conclusive evidence that
the public was hungry for the sport. 1t
also showed that the game is more popu-
lar than ever.
Washington had its largest crowd at an
opening contest, and perhaps more people
witnessed yesterdays game than ever con-
gregatcd at National Park upon any occa-
sion. The rooters were out in force, and
they had glorious time, the Senators
winning III fine style.
over $4,000 Philadelphians paid adnis-
sion to the grounds and were sadly dls-
appointed. as the BOstons had things Their
own way throughout.
Baltimore mourned with the Quakers,
and the IL 900 persons who saw the ORR
oles go down before the Brooklyns were
in high glee when Hanlon's pets were near
ing the eni of the game. There was Il Gar
rison finish in sight, but the visitors were
the masters.
Louisville had a holiday air about II,
and Manager MCCluskey and his Colonels
were greeted by Il crowd numbering close
on to s 800. Anson had his colts IN ime
shape, and although the Old Man did not
play. bIs team wonsa very creditabie game.
The Cclonels also did themselves proud.
St. Louis was the surprise of the day.
Just when the cranks OF the country Thought
the town was dead, in a ball way, IL 900
people passed through the gates and saw
their new team, with Breitenstein in the
box. give Cleveland good trouncinS. AS a
result that city went wild last night.
Connie Mack and his band OF Pirates had
a walkover in Cincinnati. and Buck Ewing S
aggregation was not SO popular IN the TO wn
of pork. At least $4,000 saw the game,
and the groans uttered We're something
awful.

HALMA HAS GONE AMISS
Crack Western Candidate for the
Big Handicaps May Not Start.
Sent TO the Hospital ut the Dictation
of DIR. Sheppard After IA Care
ful Examination.

New York, April 17.-Halma has gone
amss, so says Trainer Tucker, and the
probabilities of his starting in any Of the
spring events are very slim. The trouble
is the suspensory ligamcnt of the off fore
leg, the sheath of which is ruptured. Ii
is "A strange aillng and cannot be detected
when the horse is walking or trotting,
but will show pointedly if put through a
hard course of training. Dr. sheppard has
made an examination and advised the hos
pital for a time and then turn out.
This is the second rumor about Halma
having gone wrong. the first one coming
from Cincinnati about six weeks ago. This
time, however, there seems to be great
deal of truth in the report, as Dr. Sheppard
is responsible as well as Mr.. Tucker. Like
rumors have been spread heretofore about
horses having gone amiss for the purpose
of influencing the market price, and at
times they have been successful; but 1t
is hardly likely that this is the case with
Ha!ma, as bookmakers nowadays are sus-
picious and never increase the price against
n lame horse unless they have proof posi-
tive that he is lame for keeps.
on the contrary, lame horses often prove
good investments, 1t just depends who
spreads the news that horse is lame.
Father BIZ DAILY once said the Count
was lame, and the price went to 20 10 /.
1t is unnecessary to say that the Count won
in Il gallop, and DAILY smiled at the book
makers when he collected his winnings.
1t lis humorous TO read the turf news which
at times comes over from Europe. a cable
gram day or so go referred to one of Mr..
Lorillard's horses having run Unplaced in a
race with eleven starters. The cablegrlm
started off in this fashion: Richard Croker.
with his feet encased In an enormous pair of
goloshes, and the Prince Of Wales, smoking
exceedingly large cigars, walked about New
Market Heath unmindful of the surround
ings. Dick was not arm In arm with the
prince, hut his friends expected him to link
up every time they passed each other. But
they only nodded" This kind of stuff would
he III right if the correspondent was report
ing society events on space. but VIII Y such an
Introduction when the meat OF the subject
could be sent over in ten words, and not en-
coura ring news, at that?

Iocker 1NiIlie Andrews Rein-tnt ed

Elkton, Nd, April 11.-Jockey Willie
Andrews will no longer ride as an outlaw.
hut will in future have mounts on horses
on tracks running under the jurisdiction OF
the Western Turf Congress. For some time
pasi the wcll-known western racing firm
of Baker & Gentry have been trying to
secure the services OF the hoy. James
Whaley, 10 whom he is apprenticed, readily
gave his consent if they could secure his
reinstatement, as he was anxious to see
the hoy improve himself. An application
for his rein statement was made, and Mr..
Baker went to the track yesterday and in
formed Andrews that he had been granted
| q license by the congress. Andrews left for
| Cincinnati last night. Andrews was one
| OF the best lightweight rider here.

and He Is Locked Up.
New York, April 11.-Albcrt Griffith,
better known as Young Griffo,' was
taken To the Raymond street Jail, Brook

rendered by his bondsmen. Critic has
been under bonds since last fall, when

friends have nurscd the case along, trust
Ing in his ability to win the Mckecvcr

This took place Monday night, and the
young Australian was badly beaten. Then
apparc rcntly his hackers lost confidence in
him. He was taken to jail by two detec-
tives from police headquarters.
At the jail it was learned that the
prisoner was not in a condition to re-
Ceivc visitors. 1t was said that he felt
so bad over his defeat by McKeever that
he had been drinking very heavily ever
since.
