Manager Irwin Settles on Practice
Grounds for Senators.
OPENING THE BOWLING SEASON
Plans for the New Americas Cup
Defender.
CURRENT SPORTING NEWS

An interesting letter was received this
morning from Manager Irwin of the Wash
ington Base Ball Club, dated at Norfolk
Va. He says he has made all arrangements
for the Senators to gather in Washington
by March II. and on that day take the boa
for Norfolk. The Senator's manager saws
he has secured the grounds at the Soldiers
Home at Hampton. and is particularly
pleased ever the fact that the in and out
fields arc covered with Il good growth of
grass. something that few base ball grounds
in the south possess. Finding a grass field
has been Manager Irwin's object ever since
NJ lett Washington last week. and he feels
particularly cldtcd over the fact that his
TRIP has pcen success in this respect.
one OF the greatest obstacles Il Young
player has TO overcome upon his introduce
ton to the big league is the playing up to
MS fulI ability on a grass diamond. All the
minor league grounds posses what is called
a SKIN diamond which retards the bail
more tam grass diamond, contrary to the
general idea. The ball is consequently
easier To handle. on a grass diamond the
ball skins over the ground with lightning
ike rap!dity. and owing to this fact many
OF The supposed bright lights of the minor
leagues have been put out of fast COM
pany, and naturally drifted back to the
leagues in which they have made their
greatest regulations. As majority of the
players constituting the Washington club
EcXt season are young players. the fact
that they will be given their Spriug trViug-
out on a grass diamond is most important
Manager Irwin will not have to wait for
months playing in the major league to
ascertain whether he has a team strong
enough to mako any sort of showing against
tn" other eleven clubs, but the month will
be spent at Norfolk for just this purpose.
1t is the intention of Manager Irwin to
start the spring practice with Davis on
first. Paddcn on second. Hulen at short and
Mercer on third. In the outfed the trio
Will he made up of SlaSie in left . Brien
in center and Freeman in right, with Gett-
man as substitute Should either of these
players give any Indication of lack of abil-
ity to keep up with the rest of the PLAYERS
the Washington management will at once
secure other players to take their places.
Manager Irwin intimates in his letter that
the Washington fans" need have no fear
that he cannot get good players in case any
of the present Senators fall by the wayside
He already has lines ont for several likely
men. ami in cas-" of necessity they will be
called to Norfolk in a days time.
As wind-up to his letter Manager Irwin
writes that ne is perfectly satisfied with
his club, and although many familiar faces
and stars will be missing from the senate
rial ranks the coming season. all he asks
is that the Washington base ball public will
suspend judgment until they sec the team
play ball at National Park.

Base Ball Notes.


Fred Barnes. who played with the Mil
waukec Western League team for the past
three seasons as pitcher and general utility
man, has been sold to the Baltimore club.
The tearing down of the Cleveland clubs
fence is explained in this manner: The
lease of 10 feet on the Durham avenue
side and 30 feet deep along Lexington ave
nue. expires the first of the year, and that
the base ball people had refused to release
the place. This necesstated cutting down
the fence on both sides the desired length.
The 100 feet will encroach over the foul
line in right field. it is said by fully eight
feet, and the 40 feet will bring the fence
pretty close up to the right field pavilion.
