thing is ready at National Park for hand
ling the big crowd that Is expected. The
Senators are not in the best possible shape
to meet the strong aggregation from Bal
timore owing to the absence of Reitz and
McHale, but the players, under Captain
Tom Brown, promise to displays the best
wares they have in the shop. and the con-
test will be more than interesting, owing
to the exchange of players during the win
ter. McJames is slated to pitch for the
Orioles and DeMontreville will be on Sec
ond. All the Baltimore hold-outs have re-
ported, with the exception of Corbett, who
is not expected to play this year. The SEN

heavy sluggers. Kelley and Keeler, will be
in their old positions. Manager Hanlon will
have twenty-one people in tow, fifteen ball
players and six newspaper men. Besides
this number, directly under the Baltimore
managers charge, 1t il expected that q
special train will be run to accommodate
fully 200 enthusiasts from the oyster city,
who will come to Washington to encoufSGe
their favorites in the start-off game
All the Washington players will report at
the grounds Immediately after the MONDAY
meal, and at exactly 2 O'clock will leave
the park In carriages. preceded by q chariot
contingent will go direct to the Riggs
House. where the Baltimore players will
stop. take up that aggregation and then pa
rade over the CITY,.
Nothing was heard at the grounds this
morning from the hoid-out players, Reits
and McHale. and 1t was almost decided to
play Farrell on third until 4 seasoned MAJ,
for that position can be secured. The bat
