HANDICAP GOLF LIST.
Travis Only Scratch Man in MetropoH-
tan Association.

A total of / 900 names appears on the new
official handicap list of the Metropolitan
Golf Association, issued yesterday in New
York by the committee appointed at the an
nual meeting to revise the schedule for this
season. This is a larger number OF players
than has ever been handicapped in the
spring list before and Of these 1853 are ell
gibTe to compete in the annual metropolitan
championship tournament. This also Is a
larger number. One reason for the latter
fact is due to the new rule that allows
golfers rated at II strokes to enter the
leading local event instead OF 10 as for
merry.
Walter j. Travis, the national champion
Is still the only scratch man, and Findlay
champion is rated at stroke. 1t was gen
orally supposed that the new list would
place these two prominent golfers on q
par at handicap rating. and the present
committee may encounter some OF the OPP
position for its temerity that was meted
out to the committee last year. The pres
ent committee has also been more severe
than former committees in ratings, for no
players are found equal to receive or
strokes, something unheard or before. AT
there are only five, Louis Livingston. IT.
Charles B. Macdonald, L. P. Myers, John
Reid, Jr., and Charles H. Seeley. At
there are only four. A. D. Cochrane. Dew

is of black leather. This suit will be used
exclusively for home games and the uni
forms to be worn on the road will con-
s1st of light gray, with dark-blue trim
mings. Manager LOTUS ordered dark-blue
collars on the shirts, but, of course, this
innovation was overlooked by the manu-
facturer. Had there been time the suits
would have been returned as the blue coll
lar would have added materially to their
attractiveness, but as the season opens
next week they will have to stand as they
are.
Manager Lotus had nothing new to add
to the Clark controversy this morning, SIM
ply saying he had heard nothing from the
latter, but that he supposed he would re-
port when he got good and ready" A
special dispatch from Annapolis sent last
night said that Clarke would reach WASH
ington on the 23d Of the month, the opening
day and that it would then be up to Man
ager LOTUS to say whether his services
would be needed not. At the present
time Catcher Drill cannot get out to the
morning practice, on account of his studies,
and the pitchers have had no opportunity
to try out their arms. This Is the one
drawback that Is handicapping the club
and the chances are that the Senators will
go into the first game with their twirling
corps about two weeks behind time in the
matter of condition.
First Baseman George Carey was spoken
to this morning about Manager Sailing s
claim that he belonged to the Buffalos and
that he had jumped his contract. Carey
said that his contract was the usual one
with the reserve clause and the latter was
all that was broken. He added that he
wouldn't play for Stallings under any cir
cumstances and if it came down to the
point he would quit the game first.
The Newark club arrived in Washington
at noon today and the players were quite
jubilant over their showing against Mack
Athletics yesterday in Philadelphia. The
Newarks are credited with being a pretty
strong aggregation and the Senators will
probably have to put up fast game to
win out,

VICTORY FOR GEORGETOWN.
Penn. State Team Defeated in Well
PLAYED Game.


Georgetown gets the credit for having won
Yesterday afternoon one of the strangest
victories ever recorded in Washington. The
local team met the ball players from Penn
sylvania State College and was outbatted,
outplayed and in some respects outpitched.
But a single Iet-doWn in the third inning
by Miller, the tosser for the visiting team.
gave the locals the game. The score was
to 4.
Miller is an amateur Al Maui. He goes
to the pitchers slab equipped chiefly with
crafty delivery and a pleasing smile.
When the batsman has squared himself
Mr.. Miller throws his arm about in cir
Gle and send the ball over the plate so
slowly it Is wonder 1t doesn't fall to the
ground. The next ball probably comes like
the wind. But very often there was no next
ball to come-the local batter had struck
violently at the low ball and popped up a
little, weak fly to the State inf1eld. The
best the Georgetown men could do against
this puzzle was to make six hits and spend
the rest of their time at bat in making wild
plunges at the ball. Their record is no
discredit to them. however. for the Phila-
delphia representatives in the National
League had fully as much trouble recently
when they encountered Millers slow ball
with curve yard wide.
Yet it was the State pitcher who gave
the locals the game. In the third inning he
hit the first man up. Bowling. Dorman
went to first and Bowling to second on a
ball. Morgan took first on a blow in the
ribs. Then, when the bases were filled
through Miler's wild delivery, Moran hit
out homer and sent in four runs.
Cox and Fay tossed for Georgetown and
held the State players, natural hard hitters
as they are, down to eight hits.
The score by innings:

FIRST DAY AT AauEDucr.
Ethics Won Carter Handicap and Him
self Never Prominent.

The first days racing Of the New York
season drew an attendance, to the Auueduct
track yesterday as never before congre-
gated at the Queens county course. The
crowd was of proportions to cause regret
on the part Of the managers of the property
that they had no more room in which to
pack the sport-loving public and In spite
,of the recently enlarged grand stand a very
large portion of the visitors never at any
time succeeded in gaining foothold in the
structure. At moderate estimate the at
tendance numbered 10000.
The race of the day, the Carter handicap
at seven furlongs, was the fourth event on
the card. and was run at 4:20 o'clock.
Early in the afternoon scratches reduced
the announced field of fifteen runners to
nine horses, this helping to make w. C.
than he was the night before the race. OF
the other eight left to race Contend was
backed down to the post of second choice,
with Eddie Busch and Margraviate the
next two favored, Himself at starting time
being quoted at 13 to 5. There was but a
short delay at the post, and then the field
went away with Eddie Busch the first off,
Man O. War second and Margraviate third,
while Himself broke fifth. but at once was
knocked back as he attempted to race
through his field. Contend, sixth at the
start, went on in the meantime, and with
a rush closed on the leaders, Contend show

ing away from Margraviate, then second,
while Petra II and Eddie Busch alternated
third and fourth, Himself then being last
and seemingly out of the contest.
On the turn to the stretch for the run
home Contend slipped still further away
from Margra viate, and, entering the
straight for the finish, seemed to have the
race won, Margraviate and Eddie Busch at
that point being hard ridden to keep up,
but dropping back steadily, while Petra
seemed able to do no more than hold her
own. Into the stretch Contend was first
by a length and a half, but there Ethics,
who ran unbacked by his stable, began to
close from next to last place, and as Con-
tend tired in the last quarter, Ethics. then
fourth with Petra and Margraviate before
him. made his effort for the lead. At the
last furlong pole Ethics passed Petra and
Margrayiate and went on after Contend,
on whom Shaw was at work through the
last sixteenth of a mile.

question being whether Contend would De
