Senators Haven't Got Their Eye on
the Ball Yet.
GOOD WORK DONE in TIE FIELD
Preparations for the Smith-Green
Fight.
RACING An BEN MIN 6

When the Washington and Boston clubs
faced each other at Norfolk yesterday it
was a case of the Senators being ''up
against the real thing. The veterans
wearing the Boston uniforms doubtless
have little love for young men just break
ing into the league, and decided to show
them conclusively how the national game
should be played. Their demonstration was
convincing, the score being IL to in Bos-
tons favor. With Nichols, Willis and
Kiobedanz in good form and trying to win,
to defeat the Beaneaters would be hard
proposition to any club in the league and
for this reason the work of the Senators
should be viewed with leniency
Reports from Norfolk say that Weyhing
and Dunkle refused to exert themselves to
the fullest extent, while the trio of Bos-
ton pitchers worked with a will. This re-
port describes the game to nicely. The
Bostons hit effectively, while the Washing
tonians were very lucky in corraling five
hits, two of them being made by the vet
eran Jimmy Mcclure.
The hit-and-run game as being developed
by Manager Irwin is effective only when
the pitched bail can be connected with and
first base reached. Yesterday it was
case of being thankful if one of the Sena-
tors placed 2 hit safe, and of course run
under the circumstances was an unlocked
for gift. The three double plays pulled off
by the Senators speak well for the fielding
ability of the new men, especially as they
were scored against fast team like the
Bostons. The work of Dick Padden at sec
ond was far above the average, his thir-
teen chances being taken care of without
a Slip-up.
Very few reports have come up from the
south about the practice work of the Bos-
ton club but taking the clubs work yester-
day as a criterion it would appear that 1t
is the same old brilliant aggregation that
has won the league championship for the
past two years, and that those clubs as
plr1ng for championship honors will have
rocky road to travel the coming season,
The score of yesterdays game follows:

n Profitable Day for the Public Mt
the Races,

The crowd at the Benning track yester-
day afternoon was unusually large, the half
holiday rather than the card presented be-
ing responsible therefor. The weather could
not well have been more delightful, and the
track was very fast. In one of the five
races the field was reduced to three horses,
and in another to four. No stake events
We're on the program, and as two favorites
and three second choices won the public
made profitable day ,af it. The effect of
the determination Of the club to exclude the
dlsreputaDle element Is apparent, the num-
Der Of ladies yesterday being one of the
largest ever seen On the Benning course.
In the first race,aHveofurlongs lambert,
Prestidigitatrice and Tallahassee were heav-
lily played in the order named, but the Nor
ris pair beat, the favorfte, Tallahassee fin
| ishing third. But four started in the second
| race, half-mile dash for maiden two-year-
oids. Walden's Specific, at 1 to 2 finished
second to Bradley.s Mattie Bazaar, at 8 to
l, winning a goodhrace! Althea, another
second choice, finished first in the third race
at six and one-halE furiengs flying start
being given the horse, the to / favorite
Spurs, running third to Roysterer. Lady
Exile. an even-mefey favorite. won the
fourth event at six and one-half furlongs
rather easily, Tut Tut, the next best played
horse running second. Three horses started
in the last race, and again the favorite won,
Danforth, at to 2, ronnping home in front
OF Egbert, the secof,d choice.
The stewards decided to allow j. A. Sykes
to- start his horses after tomorrow.

CYCLE PATH TO BALTIMORE.
Meeting of Those Interested Will Be
Held Tonight.


Substantial encouragement is being given
to the movement to construct cycle path
to Baltimore that will be the equal of any
wheel highway. The national capital,
famed for its fine streets and avenues, has
been notably behind other cities of the
country in the respect of cycle paths. The
proposed path between Washington and the
monumental city is not new idea 1t is a
subject that has been before the public for
years. But enthusiasm in the project has
been allowed to lag and the effort soon ex-
hausted itself, the result being that no i'm
portant impression whatever has been made
upon those from whom support must be ex-
pected. The matter is being agitated again
with renewed vigor by the wheelmen of this
city and Baltimore, and 1t would seem that
the dream of these $4,000 pedal pushers is
about to be realized.
The project is an ambitious one, involving
the raising CT considerable sum OF money
but can be successfully AMI promptly car
ried out IL properly supported by the wheel
men who have long ciamored for such a
wheelway. The proposed path will run
through a country rich In historical inter-
est 1t will serve the double purpose Of
giving bicyclists riding surface second to
none and teaching the advantage OF good
roads. The idea of such a path Is far-reach-
ing In its effect, as may be readily seen and
appreciated. The futherance of the scheme
is of Importance and interest to every
wheelman in Washington, Baltimore and
intermediate towns.
A meeting of those interested IN the path
will be held this evening at O'Clock In the

land. The crop is cultivated and har-
vested by convicts who are leased
from the state. Several hundred
mules are employed on the plantation

new food for them a few years ago.
This food is pure, black molasses, and
the animals are fed nothing else
throughout the year. Large troughs
have been built in the stables. into
which the molasses is conducted direct
from the refinery through pipes. The
mules have a great fondness for the
molasses, and they are kept in prime
condition all the time. The molasses
fed to these animals is of a coarse
quality, and would command only a
low price in the market. II is much
