IS q son of General w. 7. Sherman; the
Rev. P. B. Murphy. of the Ninth Massa-

does not provide room for the audience,
but a small tent covers the chance only.
At the head of the tent is an altar made
of boards, decorated with pine branches
and furnished with white cheese cloth and
American flags. On Sundays the additional
decorations are ferns n daises gathered
by the soldiers. A large crucifix hangs on
the center tent pole. From the top of the
pole flies the church military flag.
Pine boughs furnish a soft carpet for men
to kneel on. The worshippers are drawn
up in front of the tent. Out of considera-

an everyday affair thai very little heed is
given ii. A request from the platform usu-
ally meets with about the same success
as the street car conductors Move nr
front there Mr.. Stimets, however,
solved the problem at the commencement

came forward on the platform with a pa

their hats.

was any trouble between Mr.. Wagner and
himself except a few minor details in the
contract. He said he would have to go it
little slow on the ball field for the next
few days, as he might overdo himself and
bring about apparent slight injuries that
would result in serious consequences.
AS to how he liked the makeup of the
Senators for the coming season, Jack had
little to say, except that the team looked
strong, and would doubtless give G good
account of itself.
Charley Snyder, the new catcher, walked
into National Park this morning. and Mr..
Wagner Immediately recognized him, al
though never having seen him before, the
Identification resulting from descriptions
he had of the player from newspaper and
other sources. Snyder is a big, strapping
fellow, and will almost weigh as much as
Charley Farrell. He has had little prae-
ace this spring. on account of the cold
weather for the past month in northern
New York.
William Dinneen, the pitcher, was the
third player to arrive in Washington to-
Gay, and, like all the other Senators, is ap-
parently in the best of health.
Bad luck cropped out for the Senators
yesterday afternoo the first of the sea-
son. Win Mercer contracted a painful
case Of neuralgia in his jaw and as
result he looks fat around the face. A few

Brown was the other sufferer sand his
case was more serious. In running after
tall yesterday afternoon he over-reacled
himself and gave his back a bad wrench.
the result being that he had to keep to his
room this morning and let the club go it
acne. Tom is under the best medical
treatment and nursing and will doubtless
coon be himself again.
All The Senators and several local play
ers were out on the field at National Park
this morning. and the usual two hours
hard work was gone through with.
