edge that the deception was OF the regular
order and miEus the hukey possibilities.
Stuitx kept his good work up until the
sixth inning. when a couple OF lucky hits
over the inhelders' heads and a little Wild
ness ON his part placed himself and COM
paniens in a hole. and. rs q result. a run
was forced over the plate and two others
came In on the safe hits
Manager Wells then concluded to try
another pitcher, the ex-Washington MAY
er. Moiesworth. This chubby fellow pitch
ed about fifteen balls without coming near
ihe plate. allowing three bases on balls
ana hitting the next man up. and Manager
Wells decided to stop the farce by substi-
tutlnG sun another twirler. This time the
substitute. Chesbro. proved of some value.
because the hitting was checked to a Ger
tain extent and the runs that came over
sI ene piats were few and far between.

VITA everything even he will undoubtedly
prove winner.
Mercer was the first pitcher up for the
senators ana ne devoted mis- entire atten-
ton to pract!cing his slow curve The
Richmond boys hit it quite frequently. but
had Win" desired to make a record h,
would have mixed them up and the resuli
would have been disastrous to the hatfers
After pitching five innings Norton came
to the box for the Senators and gave a
display of twirling that demonstrated that
this p.ucky little fellow is at and ready for
the professional season to start. His com
mand OF the ball Is good and he like Mer-
Ger: Is gaining control OF a SLOW twisting
ball that will prove a winner against the
best batters in the big league
The feature Of the game outside of the
pitching departments was the playing of
Elberfeld at third for the Richmonds and
the clock-like regularity of the infield work
OF the Senators, DeMontrevile's bad throw
to first being the only play that had a
semblance of an error. The following is
the score in detail:

WHAT PRESIDENT YOUNG SAYS.
Arbitration BOnrd Did Not Consider
the Rusic Case.


This has been a busy week for President
Young of the National Base Ball League
He was absent frcm league headquarters
until Thursday. attending the citing OF
the national board of arbitration. He de-
clares that the much-talked about Rusie
case was not before the board for consid-
Grafton. in spite OF all that has been pub
iished on the subject. He says the board
was engaged in other business, disposing
of a number of minor cases pending before
the board. So far as the Rusie case is con-
cerned. Mr.. Young says the league is not
considering 1t. The controversy Is between
Mr. Freedman and Rusie, and Mr.. Freed
man appears TO be very well satisfied with
the position he occupyS in the dispute and
he is also very hopeful about his club.
When Mr. Young returned 20 league head
quarters he found several teiegrams from
the various club inanagers applying for a
supply of base balls With which to open the
season. Accordingly he Immediately ship
ped. TO each club six dozen regulation balls.
As the season advances further shipments
Will be made in accordance with the re-
quests of the various clubs. 1t is part of
the system for Mr.: Young to weigh and
measure every bali that is used in a cham
pionship contest The balls are first ship
ped to him, and after he inspects them
they are marked and sealed by him. and
the seal is not broken until the umpire
does the act on the ball field.
BESIDES distributing fhe balls Mr.. Young
has been busy making out his assignment
of unpTes for the opening games. He is
guarding the secret of his staff and their
instructions and assignments with a zeal
that is commendable. He has had over
five hundred applications for appointment
to the staff of unlpirRs this season. conse
auentiy 1t was no easy task to select seven
men from such q vide field.
The staff will consist of Lynch. Hurst,
E,mslie. Sheridan. McDermott. O'Day and
Mcdonald President Young will NOT jrnlt-
cate what the assignments are, for he
wants the umpire's designations to be un-
known until they walk upon the field and
call play.
