tice This Morning.

Catholic University Nine to Play
Lafayette.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

All the Senators in Washington re-
ported promptly at $50 this morning at
National Park, but the grounds were in
such a bad condition. as a result of the re-
cent rains, that no practice was INDUCED
in either this morning or afternoon. Should
the sun come out tomorrow morning 1t is
expected that hard days practice, the
first of the season, will follow.
Mr.. ]. Earl Wagner was in a jubilant
mood this morning when seen by The
Evening Star reporter over his successful
trip to New York TO witness the wrestling
match between Roeber and Yousouf and
incidentally CO to have a little confab
with First Baseman Jack Doyle. The par
ticulars of the wrestling bout were not
Forthcoming, but the little go-in between
the Washington magnate and the Holyoke
boy was full of interest. AS Manager Sc
lee of the Boston club mas said, Jack
Doyle will never so behind your back and
talk about YOU" If he has any grievance
he comes right out with it, and for this
reason the conference between the two
duration Doyle told Mr.. Wagner what he
thought he was worth. and, after a little
wordy sparring. his figures were acceded to-
Doyle Pleased With the Senators.
After signing, Doyle aired his opinion
about the Brush resolution and animated
that it was aimed at Tebeau. Joyce and
himself. Mr.. Wagner being on Brushs
s;de easily convinced Jack that he was
wrong and that all he had to do was to
leave the umpire alone and play ball. Doyle
said he could easily do that, and then
shifted his talk to throwing bouquets at
the senatorial aggregation. He says he Is
personally acquainted with almost all the
Washington players and said the aggrega-
ton looked very strong to him. OF Amole,
nnNyln Ito
former would improve on his Baltimore
record and undoubtedly win many games
for the Washington club. Amoies ability
to make the base runners hug their bases
will prove great factor, as, with the
splendid catchers backing him up, stealing
bases will be almost an impossibilty.
Another player that Doyle took the OPP
portunity to speak well of was Dinneen,
and advised Mr.. Wagner to get him into
the senatorial fold soon possible.
Doyle says that he has taken every oppor-
turity possible to find out about the Ca
madam twirler and he has yet to run across
the player who has seen Dnneen at work
who did not predict bright future for
him. Doyle left for home Immediately after
his conference with MIR. Wagner, and will
report at National Park some time tomor-
row and will Immediately get down to hard
work with the rest of the boys.
Frank Snyder. the catcher. was tele-
graphed his railroad fare last night and
Immediately left for Washington. and will
be here this evening.
Tom. Kinslow, the Well-knoNn local base
ball player, tossed his satchel containing
his uniform into the club house this morn
iEg, and VIII practice with the boys during
the preliminary season. Tom is little
overweight, but feels confident he can train
down and be able to do as good work as
catcher and hitter, and should he round to
his old-time form there are about half
dozen clubs in the big league that can use
him to great advantage.
Kinslow and Gus. weighing Immediately
started tanning both being members of
the Brooklyn Brotherhood team in 1890.
and each told many humorous stories. One
In particular Gus told on himself. The
Brooklyns were playing in Buffalo, and one
or two games separated them from the
championship. The Bridegrooms claimed
that Umpires Snyder and Jones were given
them the worst of their rulings, and Kins-
low, who was in the grand stand with Gus
began to yell all sorts of epitEets at the
arbitrator.
Down came policeman on the run"
said Gus, land grabbed me by the coat
then out of the grounds. He was a strap
ping big fellow, and. of course, l had to
go. notwithstanding 1 told him he had the
wrong man. When he found out who
was he apologlzed, but said I should re-
main outside the grounds a short while
las soon as L came back Kinslow began
again, ana down came that policeman, and
again he yanked me- and this time almost
threw me into the patrol wagon and landed
me at the station house. People around
me in the stand tried to explain the true
state of affairs. but the cop wouldn't
have it. AS was about giving up my roll
of money and watch to the station captain,
in walked Kinslow and Captain Ward, and
my release was soon secured. After that
when not playing Kinslow could never
persuade me to witness the game by his
side. He was too big and l was too little.
The coppers' have good eye ana know
how to pick out the easy ones"
