Arthur Irwin and his sprightly tribe of
Canucks from Toronto engaged the Sen
ators yesterday afternoon, and gave the
big Leaguers plenty of exercise if they
didn't accomplish anything else.
Arthur has lively bunch of yanigans,
and they areliable to create alot of trouble
for the other asprants for the Eastern
League flag.
The game was a close affair until the
sixth inning, when the Senators put on
steam and piled up five runs, giving them
a total of seven, which was not Increased.
The Canucks earned run in the opening
inning on a three Dagger by McHale and
McGann's single to center.
The contest was of the one, two, three
order, and was the quickest played of
the preliminary season.
In the second, Capt. Brown was put on
the hospital list After Cartwright had
made bingle TO left center, Tom dumped
the ball very scientifically toward third
and flew down to first with the speed
for which he is famous In going into
the base. big McGann attempted to field
the assist of Pitcher Dineen, and Tom
body knows whicli-and fell like d log on
the foul line His fellow-players rnshed TO
his aid, and assisted him from the field
The injury was painfGl, but not serious,
though 1t will keep the popular captain out
of the game for the next few days. Inc
blow was received on the leftleg just above
the knee, and while in different piace'l u
came about in a similar manner to the
~. bt an
Raseman Decker. Of the Chicagos, last
season, which resulted in broken wIlst
for Decker and enforced his retirementfrom
the game for the balance of the year Like
the majority of accidents in baseball, TO
body was to blame.
Abbey succeeded Brown In center, anu
played the steady game of which he is
capable. DeMontreville, after dong pen
ance," was reinstalled at short Gene cele-
brated his restitution by accepting Ten
chances without the semblance OF error,
and in the fifth pushed out beauty bright
single TO center.
McJames, Mercer. and Ashe pitched the
nine innings. and Mcguire and Farrell did
the receiving
The Torontos have only had few days
practice and were hardly expected TO give
the Senators q hard run. Manager IRWIN
has every reason to congratulate himself
on his selections for the season, and If
he can borrow" Wrigley from MI. Wagner
he will have an aggregation strong enough
TO make a bruising finish in the Eastern
League race And Arthur is that sort
OF a taIker to make Mr.. Wagner yield and
loan him "Zeke" But If Wrigley goes
there will be a string on him and he will
be ierked back whenever his presence Is
thought necessary
The cold weather and the Fttzsimmons
parade had perceptibie effect on the at
tendance. The same teams will play this
afternoon, and as it will be ladies day
no doubt a large audience will gather at
the mark The score.

DIAMOND DUST.

Capt. Mccarthy Will probably divide to-
morrow's game up between pitchers Bach
and Clancy, giving the latter the shorter
number of innings, and then putting him
in on Thursday with Walsh, to win the
game from Yale.
The '.rooters" of Georgetown, all strong
lunged youngsters from the student body,
have been practicing various college yells
and choruses, which they will spring on
the spectators and players during the Le-
high and Yale games. Musical roofing
is a great feature of all games on George
town Field.
2 Georgetown Varsity team has not let
up IN its practice since it's splendid victory
over Lafayette on Saturday, but to the con-
trary, has worked harder than ever to per-
feet its team work, and when the big Le-
high nine comes on Georgetown Field to-
morrow it will find team strong-individ
uaIly and collectively. One ready and ca
pabIe TO add another victory to its un-
broken string of college conquests.
The Lehighs have been playing a very
strong game since they left their own dia-
mond, and Will probably prove to be the
strongest competitors the Georgeto WIN
players have lined up against so far this
season in college mines. Capt, Mccarthy
is gaining strength each day, and will

Banters Mr.. Wagner.

IL y
Bauters Mr.. Wagner.
Yesterday while the game between the
Senators and the Cauucks was in progress
Mr.. Wagner and Al Maui, who We're sitting
in the press box, became involved In a
colloquy over the salary question The
s.sliding contract wish which the fans
are perfectly familiar, was discussed, and
during the passage Of words, all spoken In
good nature and in the best of temper, be-
tween the pitcher and magnate, Maui made
the following proposition TO j Earl:
Said Al. II will bet you, Mr.. Wagner,
$500 to $3.50 that | can go in tins season
and win as many games as any pitcher On
your list. that is counting the percentage
of times face opposing teams. And, fur-
thermore, | will take my regular turn with
the others"
Maui put the proposition in allseriousness
and flashed roll OF money as big as Cart
wrights leg.
Mr. Wagner declined the bet, but told
the smiling twirler that lie would give al
most any amount TO become satisfied that
his arm was as good as in former days
Don't worry about that" said Maui,
'orfer me reasonable contract, and If
don't pitch good ban release me without
a cent of pay

NATIONAL LEAGUE MAGNATES.

New York, April 12.-President Young

will meet at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-
morrow, when Rusie's case viii be called

New York Several magnates admitted
today that a majority of the clubs had
reached an agreement. and that Rusie had
expressed Willingness to accept the terms
and To sign a contract as soon as he should
receive the word.
The New York Club sent contract to
RuSie several months ago calling for

In other words if the league clubs make
up purse and pay over $4,000 to Rusie,

may be something in the story that after
he has formally signed with New York
he will be traded to the Philadelphia Club
