for practice. Just think of it. fifteen days
straight without missing day on the dia-
mond. while the majority of the clubs If
not all that have gone south have run
against almost continuous rains. Mr..
Wagner expects numerous applications
frcm the league clubs ne1t season for per-
mission to practice at National Park dur
ing the latter part of March and the be-
ginning of April
Mr.. Wagner says that the reason the
scores in the practice games have not been
larger is owing to the fact that the Sena-
tors have been playing the game just as it
would be played if their opponents were the
strongest in the big league. No effort has
been made to slug the ball. and for this
reason the opposition pitchers have appar-
emily made good records against the bat
tiI g ability of the local club.
AL. Maui was out with the boys In full
uniform this morning, and gave his good
right arm plenty of practice. Maui had
quite talk with Mr.. Wagner yesterday,
and although the pitcher has not signed a
contract as yet. he will undoubtedly do so
whenever asked. Maui told Mr.. Wagner
that he was after the best contract he
could get. and the latter said he was per-
fectly right In trying for the best of every
thing. Tine pitcher told the local magnate
that he would sooner play under him. no
matter what the contract was, than any
other man in the big league, and that he
was positive he could give a good account
of himself the coming season.
The conversation ended in Mr.. Wagner
telling Maui to practice with the boys and
do his best and there would be no trouble

The University Boys Played Briskly
and Kept Down the Score Pretty Well
The clustering weather yesterday after
noon kept the attendance down to about
200 at National Park, where the Senators
and University of Vermont boys played a
game. The local players took things easy
especially the pitchers, owing to the danger
of springing sore arms. but the Vermonters
played their best, and as result the score
against them did not assume a formidable
total, the result being II to 5 in favor of
Washington.
Dinsmore was in the pitchers place
throughout the entire nine innings for the
visitors and took all the chances in sight
of injuring his arm by putting on all his
speed, and comparatively little smuggling
was indulged in. 10 hits, with a total of u,
being the sum total.
Lester German pitched the first three in
nings for Washington, it being simply an
exercise turn with him, and the Vermont
ers picked few berries in the way of base
.hits and scored three runs, one in each
inning.
.'Shep'' Norton then went into the box in
the fourth inning, and, as usual, kept the
opposing batsmen guessing, but one run
being credited to them in the sixth inning.
In the seventh inning Kimble faced the
visitors. and before that inning was con-
cluded they had again added a tally to
their score. In the eighth and ninth in
nings the Vermonters were blanked.
Ed. Cartwright was indisposed, and Nc
CURE was on first for while and Farrell
behind the bat, but a SHIFT occurred later
Oh, Ashe going to first and Wrigley behind
the bat. "Zeke" was little rusty on

boys made the only sensational play of the
game. beautiful throw from deep center
to the home plate, completing a remark
able double play on a long line hit by Ashe
and capturing Wrigley at home when he

A Gypsy Romance.

Last week the Gipsies, those nomadlc
persons who travel south in the winter
and north in the summer, began to
gather in Folks and Miller's woods
west of Shepherdstown, having made
this point a general rendezvous from
whence they should start on their
Journey southwark. Wagon after
wagon was driven to the appointed
place, until by Saturday the woods
were full of them and there was a big
crowd Of men, women and children
with plenty Of horses and dogs. Mon
day night there was trouble in the
camp. One Of the members Of the
band, Mailer Harrison, who doesn't
bear very good name even among
the Gipsies, and who, it is said, had
been run out Of Hagerstown for gam
bling, stole girl and eloped with her.
She was only fourteen years old, quite
handsome, and is said to have for
tune of $4,000, invested in real estate
in Washington. Harrison is married
man with several children, but some
how he managed to win the girls af-
fections, and Monday he persuaded
her to run away with him. She stole
away from camp about nine o'clock
and joined him, and they passed
through Shepherdstown in buggy for
parts unknown. The girls parents
soon missed her and started in pursuit
of the couple, but did not succeed in
catching them. They came here and
tried to get a warrant for Harrison 8
arrest, but it was quite evident that if
the mother, 4 voluble and massive wo-
man, could have gotten hold of the
man no warrant would have been nee
essary, at least for him. The Gipsies
have moved away, but Harrison and
his sweetheart have not been heard
from.
LATER-It is reported this morning
that the girl, whose name is Lily Jones,
has returned and has gone on after
her parents, who left here a few days
ago.
