Won der Abe Speaks CheerfuIIy of

President Won der Abe of the St Louis
Browns, is quoted as saying:
The players l now have and you can

outside of a certain few, whom 1 have no
faith in, form, in my mind, the nucleus of
good team. My catchers will be Clements
and Clifford. The ex-Quaker Is one of The
best backstops in the business and Clifford
will have a good trying out in the spring
The boys tell me he will do, but if he fails
to show league form, then / will have to
secure another man. However, Clements
will do most Of the work. For pitchers l
have Sudhoff, who is sure to do good work
Jim Hughey, the ex-Pirate, a promising
youngster, who did fairly well for Pitts
burg: Peter Daniels of the Western League
Jack Taylor, the equal of any twirler in
the league, providing he lets the flowing
bowl alone, and young Coleman, who was
with us las, year.
"Lally will probably start off covering
first. Crooks will guard second, Lave Cross
short and Jimmy Donnelly third, Surely
this is an improved intield over any | have
had of late. In the outfield l have Dowd
Genins. Holmes. Turner, Harley and a cou-
pie more

reliable and timely batter, who sends runs
across he plate. AS a fielder and base
runner and al1-around ball player he has
few superiors
Amole, the left-hander has had but a
short experience in the major league, but
enough is known Of him to justify the
opinion that he Is conner; in holding men
on bases particularly first base, he has not
an equal in the league, and is a good bat
ter and base runner. With Farrell and
Mcclure TO coach him he Is sure to add
great strength to our pitching depart-
ment.
Who Will Play Third.
There will be three contestants for third
base-Leahy, Smith and Wagner. Either
Of the men would fill the place, but who
will be the best man Is a question to be
decided. Leahy, on the concluding series
with Baltimore, played a splendid game at
third base and clearly demonstrated that
with practice he would be all that could
De desired at that position. He is fast on
MS feet, quick and accurate thrower
and above the average a batter. Har-
Vey smith Is natural ball player, and is
possessed with level head that serves
rim well in all emergencies. He Is a bril-
liant fielder and fair Understanding
under 800 Wagner will be fixture as
player. He has played third and shortstop
and is success at either place. His
throwing is phenomenal, and he is a hard
hitter The spring practice will determine
who will play third base. 1t is not ques-
ton of who can play the position, but who
can best play it.
Tom Brown will be sure to get the right
man at the right place.
In the Field.
McHale, the new center fielder, if he is
eny where near as brilliant as he has been
represented to be. will be the sensation
of the season. He will have to be A No. ]
to keep Tom Brown out of the game.
1t is apparent to the most casual obscry-
er that the Senators for the season of 1903
will be prominent members. l have bee
frequently asked, Where will the club
stand At the close of next season. Of
course, that is proposition impossible of
early solution, yet susceptible of specula-
ton, and l don't mind giving the boys a
quiet tip-there are seven clubs we will
beat out. and the other five will have &c
hustle for a place.
Mr.. Earl Wagner will be over upon the
first approach of the blue birds to put
things in order at the park. New right
field bleacher seats will be erected, and
ether needed improvements will be made
Mr.. Wagner and Tom Brown determined
last fall to take the spring practice upon
the home grounds, and Tom is booking
clubs for early games. Our fans will have
an opportunity of witnessing many games
before the opening of. the regular season.

Comments,

1t Will be noticed that for three tricks
the play was identical; then came a yaria-
uon IN the lead of n. at trick f. which as
the cards happened to lie, made things
comparatively easy for E. and w. at table
l. There can be little doubt that N was
placed in difficult position at the point in
question: and while results will induce
many critics to pronounce in favor of the
play Of the Walbrooks, the gain might
Just as readily have been made had the
cards been placed differently by holding
up the club and there seems but it'll
choice between the two plays
Continuing with table l. Easts trump
lead at trick Z was distinctly successful
but with his holding at that situation, and
with his partners marked with the best
spade and either the ace or queen of
clubs POSSIBLY BOTH, the failure to lead
the trump would seem almost criminal.
Almost such an omission, however did
occur at table 2, trick s. w. can mark his
partner with nothing but hearts and
trumps. He himself has the best spade
and the best club. South is marked with
no clubs, and yet West does not lead
trumps. The failure to do SO cost three
tricks. This deal exemplifies how great
changes may occur without system hav-
ing anything to do with ii.

in seven minutes, showing there is not the
slightest reason why this system should
not be used in all matches.
In a match recently. where the Howell sys-
tom was used, there were tour pairs tied for
first place. When the same match was re-
ferred to the Stafford system the result
was easily obtained, showing the pair that
had made the most gains against all COM
pettors, whereas the match will have to
be played over to determine who won the
match.

MICHAEL BEATS CHASE,
The Latter Forced to Retire by In

Jimmy Michael, the little Welsh racer,
defended his title as the worlds champion
at middle distance riding by defeating TN
der adverse conditions, Arthur A. Chase of
England who is considered the best racer
of England in middle distances, in Il thirty
mile contest Saturday night at Madison
Square Garden, New York
After riding twenty-siX miles, Chase was
thrown from his wheel and was so badly
injured that he gave up the race. But from
the crack Of the starters pistol until the
finish Of the long ride, the English cham
pion was hopeiessly in the rear OF his tiny
opponent. At the end of the race Mlchsel
was three miles and seven laps ahead.
Michael also suffered from accidents AS
the result of q collision when the race was
hardly half run, his forehead was severely
cut, and he was almost blinded by the
blood that flowed from the cash. He pluck
lily remounted, however, and his speed was
scarcely less swift for the rest of the con-

STRONGER THAN EVER,



Manager Hanlon of the Baltimore base
tall club is greatly pleased with the make
up OF his team for the coming season.
Il believe said he yesterday to Sun
reporter, that the Baltimore club as at
present constituted is considerably the
strongest club We ever had. The more l
hear of Mccain and the more I think of
it, the better pleased l am with the recent
exchange of players with Washington. l
believe it will turn out to be one OF the
most advantageous deals we ever made.
Arthur Irwin had praised McGann to me
before, but that was while he had him. /
wrote to Irwin recently asking him for his
candid opinion of McGann's ability. | told
MIN that if Mctiann was not strong enough
fer Il championship team | would like to
know it, so that l could be casting about
for d firSt-claSs man for first base.
Irwin wrote me that l need have no
fear of McGann, and that he had not the
least idea that any one except the ex-
Toronto player would cover first for Bal
umore next season. He says McGann is
the fastest big man he ever saw, and that
he can hammer the bail into right field or
whip it into left, as suits him. | was very
much delighted to get such IL letter from
lrwin who is usually an excellent judge OF
BAH player.
'DeMontreville at second will strengthen
the team very much in batting, base run
nlnS and even in fielding, for while he will
make more errors than Reitz, he will cover
more ground and is faster, especially III
making double plays. The remainder of
the team is likely to be made up just as it
was last year
Il heard from President Young the other
day that he had seen DeMontreville, and
that he was looking remarkably Well, was
delighted to come to Baltimore and said
that he proposed to play harder than he
ever did before. l hope and believe that
next season the club Will be a unit and
harmonious. The boys will. / think, get
back nearer into their old habits and style

Chairman Mott. investigation.

Chairman Mott of the national racing
board of the l.. A. W. and Chief Consul
Sans, who have been in New York investi-
eating The track at Madison Square Car
den, where the recent siX-days' race was
held, returned yesterday 10 Baltimore. As
the investiga ton was entirely secret, Mr.
Mott would make no statement as to its
results. but admitted that some of the evil
dence was damaging and some Favorable.
Ii is claimed that misrepresentation were
made by the organization conducting the
sX-days races in New York relative to
track, the organization having announced
before the contest that the track was nine
laps to the mile, when as a matter of fact,
il was much shorter. Since the races the
charge has been made that the association
had wilfully deceived the public, thereby
violating l.. a. W. rules.

Hyattsville eleven and team from River

VILE Christmas afternoon. The home team
was too much for the visitors winning by a
score of 6 to ). White of Riyerdale kicked
a goal from the field saving his side from

In answer to that it may be said that he

there will be no chance for conflict of
authority and no clash of opinions. Quite

Jack Doyle is above the average In intelIi-

My word for IL, there will be no faction

The antagonism OF the American roads
to the Canadian Pacific evidently con-
tlnues as strong as ever, and some of the
former which are interested in the traffic
from the Kootenay district, have just Sc
cured an important ruling from the in
terstate commerce commission who h
will enable them to fight the G. P. R.
for this Western business. The Canadian
Pacific is alleged to have put into effec t
rates from New England points to the
Kootenay, which the American roads
could not meet, being legally debarred
from doing SO by the provisions of the
Interstate Commerce law. The roads In
question accordingly applied to the Inter
state Commerce Commission for permits
sion to ignore the long and short haul
clause of the law; and the Commission
yesterday at Chicago ordered the suspen-
sion of the clause until December 81 of
this year, reserving to itself, however,
the right to rescind the order at any time

GRAND TRUNK AFFAIRS.
The Grand Trunk Railway authorities
have decided upon new regulation uni
from for their passenger train crews. The
uniforms will be the same color as a
present, blue, but the coats will all be
out alike, sack shape, with close fitting
collar. The brass buttons will be done
away with, being substituted by white
metal. On each lapel of the coat will be
the name of the road. Each man will be-
expected to wear standup collar and
white shirt, with neat tie. This will
make alike every member of the different
passenger train crews.
A Toronto despatch says that the Grand
Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railways are
having lively fight for business in West
ern Ontario, and in the neighborhood of
Gait and Woodstock relations between the
two roads are not little strained. While
the railways have agreements in regard to
rates, and cannot actually cut prices,
there are other ways of getting around
the joint tariff, and one of these is to
grant free carriage of goods. 1t is init
mated that this latter is being done, and
that an open cut in the rates is also i'm
minent.
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, president of
the Grand Trunk, will sail from England
the latter part of this month to inspect
the Grand Trunk properties.
Sir Charles Percy, treasurer of the
Gran Trunk system. returned to Mon
treal on Monday from four weeks trip
to the West. Mr.. Percy brings glowing
reports of the business activity on the
coast, especially in the mining camps OF
British Columbia. An additional impe-
tus to this activity will now be given,
says Mr.. Percy, by the building of the
Crows Nest Pass line and the other aux
iliary lines which will branch out into
the mining country.
