GUS and The SENATORS
No Materia! Change in the
Teams Makeup Probable.
HAVE PLENTY OF PITCHERS
VIII Start the Season In Better Com
Accident BefaIlS Any of he Play ers.
Men Reported to Have wintered In
Good style.

While almost every other manager in
the League is letting his tongue wag con-
corning the coming campaign genial Gus
SciniciZ is saving wood with Tim Murphy
and The Texas Steer" However, the
interests of the Senators are not being ne
elected. They are well taken care of by
Treasurer Earl Wagner, who always has an
eye on the Senatorial aggregation.
There has been Il luil III the talk of a
trade for Washington players and the
sale of the clubs franchise since Mr.. Wag-
ner spoke SO emphatically on The subject
a month or more go, and the chances are
that the only time trade talk Will be resumed
is when the league will meet to adopt the
schedule
Drawing focus on the Senators and read
ing between the lines of the interviews with
Mr.. Wagner, the casual observer is led to
believe that there will be no material
change in the ma ke-up Of the team.
Maguirc will he the regular catcher and
will handle the shoots, curves and drops of
Maui, Mercer, Anderson, Boyd, Malarkey,
Boswell, Giiroy, James and Wordsworth.
No CHANGE IN POSITIONS.
Cartwright will be found at his old place,
and he will have Crooks at second, Joyce
at third, AMI the ycarling. De Montrevillca us
short while Setback, Brown and Abbey will
be the outlielders.
Lush, the young man secured from the
Eastern League last year and who went
wrong is expected to be on hand AMI if he
proves himself slayer, he may take Sell
bach's place, and the German outf.lder
may be developed into a catcher to relieve
Mcguire.
SO much for the regulars, but what of the
phcnoms Gus will spring upon the public?
As to who the young men are and from
whence they hail, no information is at
hand.
As the team stands, it is no stronger than
il WAS last year, other than what old age
and playing together brings to a club.
That there was marked improvement last
year over 1894 goes without saying, and
as an experienced shortstop will start the
season, at which place they were lamentably
weak in 1885, greater confidence viii
exist among the whole team when play is
called for the first champions ship game.
Reports from Il large ma Jorty of the play
ers show that they have wintercd in fair
style and are in good condition.

+ REFUSED TO "wHACK UP"
Messenger Boys Have a Fight About
an Overcharge.

Wild yells brought Policeman williams
to the corner Of Thirteenth and ID streets
at midnight.
a crowd of messenger boys was assem-
bled there, and one of them was on the
pavement. while some of the others were
going through his pockets. He was released
by the policeman.
The reason for the trouble was that the
boy who was being searched. it was LEGGED,
had made an uverCharge ON delivering a
message and had failed to "whack up
with the other members of the fraternity.
This statement drew from the boys an ex-
plana ton.
They have a secret society and make an
Uvercharge where practicable and divide
with the other members. A favorite plan
Is to work fake call. 4 boy will 60 up
