NATIONAL LEaGVE NOTES

This week will be lively one for the
Senators in Virginia. Yesterday they
played their first game in Richmond. and
for the next two days will play the cham
p:on team representing that city in the At
lantic League. Thursday they will return
to Hampton and go against the real thing
in the shape of the champion Boston team
These games should be able to give the
local fans" a true line on the ability of
the almost new Washington club. Dono-.
van, the ex-senator, will pitch one of the
Richmond games, and with Wrigiey at
short can be depended upon to urge the
Virginiaus to their best. The three games
at Richmond should put the Senators in
fine fettle for the Boston game and
close contest can be looked for
II is said that there is a likelihood of the
Senators returning to Washington about
April 10 and finishing up their practice sea-
son at National Park. This will be good
news to the local enthusiasts, as they have
become skeptical of praises sounded in the
spring of each year and would like to size
up the new Senators themselves
Mr.. Earl Wagner arrived in Washington
yesterday and will decide whether he
will remain here or go on to Richmond to
see the games in that city. Mr. Robb, Mr.
Waguers private secretary. returned from
Hampton yesterday morning and made his
report to his chief as to the outlook. Should
Mr.. Wagner decide to remain in Washing
ton MIR. Robb will return to the club or
remain here If his chief goes south. When
seen by The Evening Star man last even
ing Mr.. Robb was enthusiastic over the
new men that have become Senators this
spring He predicts that the local patrons
will be surprised at the change for the
better developed in Gettmans hitting and
that It will be hard matter to keen this
young man of the regular team. Gettman

BANDIT HUNTING.
An Experience in Wyoming That Does
Not Sound Pleasant

John c. Wizard, special agent fOt
the Union Pacific, has returned from
Casper. Wyo., where he was engaged
for a week in fitting out parties to &C
in search of the bandits who held uI
the Union Pacific mail train, says the
Omaha Bee. He superintended this
work for week and then turned II
over to other agents of the company
and returned to headquarters to give
his attention to office business, which
had been accumulating 1T was the

such country as that through which
the bandits made their way after hold
ing up the train. One may drive there
for 100 miles and never see a human
being. When you reach the rOuntalns
1t is foolish for any one to attempt to
go through them except he is thor
oughly familiar with all the trails and
footpaths. Only the cowboys and
ranchmen are fitted to successfully
pursue such a search. The only horses
out there which one can use are the
broncos, and they will drive an east
ern man crazy trying to get them start
ed When a mounted party was ready
to start it spent a quarter of an houl
fighting the bucking broncos before
they quieted down and were ready tc
go as directed. We tried to pack pro
visions on their backs for the use OF
the scouting parties and while it took
four or five men to load one horse, the
brute would rid itself of the burden
in a few minutes after the load was
seemingly secure, and we had our work
to do over again. Finally. we managed
to secure some blackboard and forward
ed supplies to the men on the search
