New York Nationals Said to Be in
Bad Shape,

special from New York says that
'Muggsy' McGraw is a very much worried
man. John T. Brush. the new owner of
the New York Base Ball Club, has been ex-
pected to arrive in the big city ever since
last Wednesday from his home in Indian
apolis. Then maybe. the names of New
York's neXt-year team will be revealed.
Johnny McGraw is still doing his sphinx
act and no one need expect to hear how
the Giants will line up In 1903 until John
T. gets there. Even then 1t Is likely that
another excuse will be made for delay.
There is no explanation Of his long alb
sence
McGraw's worriment is evidence enough
that the little manager has not been hav-
Ing everything his own way in securing
the American League stars. It can be
said. too, that he has trouble enough in
signing the star members of the Giants
of the past season.
McGraw has not secured Christy Ma
thewSOn's signature to a contract for next
season. Frank Bowerman Is another Nc
Graw has not signed. and. even though
"Matty' may make up his mind later on
1t can be said positively that Bowerman
Is signed with the st. Louis American
League club for two years at a salary of
1880 year. The big catcher at the time
he signed received bonus of $5Lv In cash.
and, IL details are necessary, the money was
paid In one bill. The team, as semi-off1
cially announced some weeks ago by one of
McGraw's newspaper friends seems to be
badly shaken to pieces.

pleasant gathering from the surrounding
country places filled the club house and

National Agreement Proposed.

Some of the delegates who will attend the
meeting of the minor leagues in New York
city this week are in favor Of entering into
an agreement with the National League
and the American League on basis some
what similar to the old national agreement.
which formerly controlled all the base ball
leagues in the United States.
The argument advanced by them Is that
no safety exists for the minor leagues with
the present warfare going on, for the rea-
son that the weather. clubs loot the small
err mines at every opportunity offered with
out compromising them for the players
they take away. 1t Is asserted that 1t Is
next to impossible for some of the minor
leagues to exist another season if this prac-
tice Is to be continued, as their assets con-
sist almost wholly Of the players they are
able to develop.
Delegates now in New York city said last
night that they had understood some meas
ure might be proposed whereby the minor
leagues would work in harmony with the
major organizations. but it Is apparent that
the minor league clubs of the larger cities
are less anxious for 1t than the clubs in the
smaller towns.

SATURDAYS BIG GAME.
Taking Hard Practice to
Meet LAFAYETTE


The Georgetown University eleven and
ton for the Lafayette game Saturday after
noon. Lafayette promises to be the strong
est team that has visited the capital for
many years and the Georgetown boys are
anxious to be in the best possible shape to
meet them. The local eleven is the fastest
that has represented Georgetown since the
revival of foot ball in 1898, and so far has
had but eleven points scored against it, in
last Saturdays game with the speedy v.
M l. men. when the Virginia boys were
defeated by the score Of % to II. Lafay-
cite was also scored on for the first time
the Manhattan team Of New York managed
to secure five points to Lafayette's thirty
eight. Captain Reilly Of Georgetown. Is not
predicting any result for the game, but
from the earnest work that the squad Is
doing it can be safely said that Lafayette
will have plenty of hard work before her.
Yesterday afternoon after running up
and down the length Of the field several
times to perfect the signal work the var
sity and scrubs lined up and were put
through the fercest kind of practice by
Coach Suter. Several of the line positions

FAST FOOT BALL GAME.
Georgetown Props Defeated Western
High School II to 5.

An interesting. closely contested and stub
bornly fought foot ball game was played
yesterday afternoon between the George
town Props and the Western High School
teams. the former winning by the score Of
IL to s. Only fifteen-minute halves were
played. but during that time the two teams
were continually on the go and both sides
created lots Of excitement by their snappy
work The Props captured the first goal
IN eight minutes, Duane going over for
touchdown. but Simon failed to kick the
goal, scoring five points. The failure to
Kick goal and the consequent loss of one
point appeared to be costly for a time as
the Westerners also obtained a touchdown
In the second half. making the score even.
The youngsters of the blue and gray then
went to work In earnest, and as the game
was drawing to a close they got the ball
over the coveted line again and this time
goal was kicked. making the final figures
IL to s. Play had hardly been resumed at
ter this goal had been secured when the
whistle blew and the game was over
The gathering in attendance was large
and the followers of each team tried to
outdo the other in shouting encouragement.

champion, by up, after being up at the
turn. Jackson played a strong game. ana
was beaten by only one hole, but the other
Columbia men were easily disposed Of Har-
ward winning finally by 16 points to ~.
This cleared the way for the afternoon
draw, in which Princeton was paired with
Pennsylvania az Yale with Harvard. The
Pennsylvania team was clearly outclassed
from the outset. although P. A. Cashier
managed to hold his man Garretson down
to a. single hole, and Calvert was only
beat by Percy Pyne by up. The Prince
ton men showed better acquaintance with
the course and more dash in playing it, par
ticularly over the longer holes. They won
by 151a points to 0. Harvard's success in
the forenoon had given her men more con-
fdence for the match with Yale, and when
the two teams met the advantage was all
on the side Of the crimson. Yale is the
present holder of the team trophy, having
beaten Harvard for it last spring at Garden
City, while Hitchcock, the Yale captain,
holds the individual championship. Up to
their meeting yesterday each college had
three wins to it's credit, and a keen rivalry
was shown in the effort to take the deciding
game. Harvard won it by better golf. and
the indications now are that she will win
the championship. Hitchcock, Campbell and
Jennings were the men who did the scoring
on the Yale side. but they rolled up only 51a
points against by their opponents, and the
finals today will consequently be between
Harvard and Princeton. Following are the
summaries.

A FINE PIECE OF WORK

Recently a representative of
THE RECORD drove out to the lower
bridge Oh Black river and viewed
the work that has been done there
by the chain-gang under the su-
pervision Of Capt. E. q. Wheeler
within the past few weeks. As
was mentioned in TEE RECORD
some time since, new road is
being cut from the seine yard to
the lower bridge for the reason
that at certain stages of high wa
ter in time of freshets the present
thoroughfare is impossible. 1t is
upon the new road that Capt.
Wheeler has done this work. For
700 yards he has built solid
causeway or embankment averag.
ing about u feet high. 1t is II
feet wide and as smooth as a
floor, extending up TO a bill
which, within the memory of the
oldest inhabitants. has never been
overfowed.
Near the middle of this cause
way is a bridge 144 feet in length,
spanning a water course too deep
to be filled in. This is undoubted-
-ly the strongest and most carefully
constructed bridge on any high
way in the county. The tounda-
ton is composed of 26 cypress
posts, a foot square and IL feet
long. These are driven Dix feet
into the earth. Over these posts
are thirteen cap pieces: 12x14,
and 80 stringers, 8xl0. An iron
rod is driven through each stringer
and cap piece into the post to hold
1t steady. The abutments at
each end of the bridge are made
of gum and cypress logs, mortised
% as to hold them fast, and cover
ed over with dirt. The floor of
the bridge is of two inch plank
and is fastened down with 40
penny nails. The handraillng is
held in place with 40 penny nails,
burnt and braided. This excel.
lent structure was built by the
cha;ngang at..a minimum cost
ory $40-wil.reas il it bad been
LEI out by contract at $500 a foot
the county would have paid
nearly $500 fer the same work.
In fact, I,he entire piece OF work
shows beyond dispute the efficiency
of the chain-gang upon the public
highways when under the direc-
ton of one who has a thorough
practical knowledge Of the art OF
road-building.
There are fifteen convlcts in
the chain-gang and all look hearty
and reasonably cheerful. They
are kept busily at work and have
no time to offer TO his Satanic
majesty an idle brain as his work
shop.
