CLEVELAND. O., May 1s.-The po-
lice made good their promise to prevent
Sunday baseball in Cleveland if an at
tempt was made to play today. AT the
end Of the first inning between the Cleve-
land and Washington teams all the play
ers on both sides and Umpire Hurst were
arrested and taken to the central polioS
station, four miles distant, where Presi-
dent Robinson gave bail for the prison
ers and they were released.
The game had been extensively adver-
tised and in consequence there was
big attendance. The turnstile showed
that 10000 people had'passed the gate. 1t
was impossible to admit any more with
out letting them on the field, and Ale
gates were closed while at least 5000
persons clamored for admission.
At conference this morning a pro-
gram had been arranged by the police and
President Robinson of the Cleveland
club. Accordingly, when one inning of
the game had been played, Police Cap
tain English and President Robinson
walked on to the field. The captains of
the two teams called their men. Robin
son told them to get into their omni-
buses and go to the station. At the first
sight of the police some of the spectators
hissed and yelled Put them out" but
very few understood what was happen
ing. Most of the spectators remained in
re III hA al
return and the game be resumed. At
last it became apparent that the game
had been declared off, and about half
of those present availed themselves of
the opportunity to get their money
back, the others being content to retain
the coupons emitting them to see the
game tomorrow or the next day.
The players took their arrests gSNd
naturedly. 1t is probable their cases will
be called in the police court tomorrow
morning. They may be continued in
which event another attempt may be
made to play next Sunday, although
President Robinson has no definite
plans. 1t is announced that the players
will be arrested again next Sunday, or
as many times as they try to play.

A TURF TRIAL
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-Lucretia
Borgia, the smart little filly bred by
William Boots & Son. will be sent
against the worlds record for four miles
on Thursday next as a special feature IF
the program of that day, which is to be
devoted to helping the eye and ear ward
of the Little Jim hospital.
Ever since the Spreckels cup was won
by Little Bob 1t has been a matter of
contention among horsemen that Lucre-
| tia Borgia should have won. She was
not we'll ridden in that race, as her jock
ey was not strong enough to rike her for
all that was in her. The tinp was not
very good-in fact was behind what Lu-
cretia Borgia is capable of lowering
when at her best Little Bob won the
race in 7:24H. The two best perform
ances at the distance are Fellowcraft's
7:19h and Senator Broeck's worlds rec
ord of 7:15s4
