race.

the storm drove them under the shelter
of the grandstand, and with much trem-

But Buck was not to he iollied with the
wind blowing fiftT miles an hour and no
hole in the ground easy of access, and he
continued to shiyer and shake until the
last yes!ige OF the simeon had disappeared
to the northeast.
While Borcas was skylarking around in
his new spring suit the Senators Were
ensconccd as snug as bug 10 rug in their
dressing rooms under the stand, and pa id
no attention 10 the hullabaloo outside
further than TO express unanimous wish
that il wouldn't prevent game.
Maui was slated 10 pitch and Smiling

boys wert anxious for q 20 with the Reds
and were sOroly disappointed when Jupiter
Pluvius followed up RoreaS with an act
that was continuous until night spread her
sable shade over the diamond.
The Cincinnatis will leave this morning
at / q O'Clock for Baltimore and take a
chance at the Orioles with the hope that
their marvellous luck will not desert theIa
But il can hardly hold out much longer
PITTsBURGS PLAY TODAY.
The next visitors TO engage the Senators
will be the piratical Pittsburgs, who viii
arrive this morning and play their first
game of the go season at National Park
this afternoon.
The Pirates won mt Boston yesterday, and

receive his southpaw delivery.
Capt Joyce decided last night to send
Silver King TO the box for the game
today, and viii attach ''Old Reliable" Jim

The initial performance OF SILVER in
the two innings at Chicago, last Sun
day. is enough to inspire confidence in the
local fans, and q large crowd will be

day.
Capt Joyce, Jack Crooks, and Silver
King, whose families and relations are in
St Lonis, had heard no bad news from
their folks in the cyclone stricken city
up to last night, and they are of the
opinion that their kindred escaped the
storms devastation.
Immediately after the game this after
noon the Senators will leave for Pittsburg
for the Decoration Day games in that city
tomorrow morning and afternoon, and W i'll
return Sunday and play Pat Tebeau's
Spiders at National Park Monday.
