Battalion, Basketball Team.

The basketball team representing the
Light Infantry. the winner of the league
championship, took Company A, First
Battalion, into camp last night and beat
1t by the decisive score of SO to 16. The
game was played in the Infantry Armory
and was witnessed by large crowd.
When the regular season closed the
manager of Company i team was not sat-
isfied with the result OF the last game be-
tween those teams and requested another.
and the figures tell what a mistake he
made.
Notwithstanding the difference in the
scores the game was well played and in
teresting throughout. The winners sim
ply had their goaling eyes trimmed, and
they tossed baskets at Will.
The game was devoid OF unnecessary
rough playing, and but one free basket
was scored. Gates was in fine form and
goaled seven of the total baskets landed.
| and Devlin was next with four. Waple
led his team with five goals made.
| At the end OF the first half the score
stood to 0 in favor of the winners. In
the second half both teams scored in easy
fashion, the Infantry piling up "a, while

Special to The Washington Times)
ALEXANDRIA. Va April 16.-The
Episcopal High School baseball team bat
ted out a victory in the tenth inning of
the game with the Georgetown University
freshmen team at the high school grounds
this afternoon. At the conclusion of the
ninth inning the score stood 6 to s. and
the local lads went to the bat determined
to win This they did by swatting the
leather rather freely, while errors by
their opponents helped along the run-get-
ting. The visitors made a final effort,
but failed to get another man across the
plate. Final score 10 to G.
The high school took the lead from the
start, but Georgetown got together in the
sixth and rolled up five runs. For the
next three innings both sides drew blanks.
The work of both inields was somewhat
ragged. but the visitors outfelders put
up fine game. The playing of Burns in
left field was especially noticeable. Ca
mario. the frcshmen's twirler pitched
steady game. and deserved better support
| than he received. Miller. in the box for
the high school, also did well. At the re-
| ceiying end. Carter did brilliant work.
The makeup of the teams follows:
/ Episcopal High School-Carter. catcher;

in a sealed box, which is not to ne opened

Not only are the local fans endeavor-

Inn, their brethren who live in the small
towns surrounding the District are put
ting in their bids for the books. rum
hor of these we're received yesterday, and
last night they began to arrive in large
numbers.
The fact that there is no limit placed on
tho number of estimates that can be made
NV one person causes large packages or
coupous to be received that range from
euesses Of 5000 up, in jumps of 100.
II has also been noticed that the con-

Have YOU estimated the number OF
paid admissions to the first champion
ship game at American League Park?
If not you had better get into line,
for the estimates commenced to pour
in Yesterday by the hundreds. As
priority viii count in deciding, should
any two winning estimates be the
same. it hehooves those who want to
see the games free to get into the
game and estimate early.
In recognition of the great interest
in baseball, The Morning Times VIII
give away a few season tickets to the
ball games to the persons who estl-
mate nearest to the paid attendance
on the opening day.
On April 90 last year, when Wash
ington opened with Baltimore. the
paid admissions were nearly ten
thousand. This will aid the fans
somewhat in figuring the attendance
| on the opening day this year.
The Morning Times offers the fol
lowing prizes to those who are lucky
enough to estimate the nearest to
the number of paid admissions on
the day of the opening championship
| game with Boston. The date of the
opening game is April %, but if fol-
any cause the game should not he
played on that date the paid attend
ance of the first championship game
in this city Will be taken as the basis
of deciding the winners.

mate to the actual number of paid ad

park, on the date of the opening game o

the season, The Morning Times will give
a season book with reserved seat coupon
attached, good for two persons.
To the person making the next best
estimate a season book good for one
person to the grounds and grandstand.
To the person making the third best
estimate pass for the first thirty games
to the grounds and grandstand.
To the person making the fourth best
estimate season pass, good for admis-
sion to the bleachers.
The conditions of the contest shall
be as follows:
All estimates must be made on cou-
pons cut from The Morning Times.
This is necessary, as in order to IA
cilitate keeping track of the esti-
mates they must be on some sort of
a uniform blank. Otherwise the bust
ness of sorting them would be too
slow, tedious, and difficult.
Employees of this paper VIII not be
allowed to compete.
In case any two prize-winning esti-
mates are a tie the one bearing the
earlier date will get the award.
No estimate will be received after
IL o'clock noon, April %.
All estimates must be mailed to the
Baseball Editor of The Times.
Great care should be taken TO make
all figures very distinctly and to use
great care in writing the name and
address plainly, so as save both
time and trouble in determining the
prize winners.

GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Mike Dwyer, who is said TO be the real
owner OF the Carter Handicap winner.
Ethics, was present at the Aqueduct
track on Tuesday and manifested great in
terest in the races, despite the fact that
he is suffering from locomotor ataxia and
an impairment OF hearing. Mr.. Dryer has
lost the use Of his lower limbs and has
! TO be wheeled about in rolling chair.
Nevertheless he still takes an active in
terest in the races, and it is said he kept
his commissioner busy running between
the ring and the clubhouse.
Time was when Mike Dryers COM
missions were awaited with mortal dread
| in the ring, for bets ranging up into the
/ ten thousands we're of very frequent oc-
/ currencc, and the ring often was badly
| scorched by Dir. Dryers winnings. For
| the past few years Mr. Dwyer has been in
| bad health and his friends have expected
| every season TO find him missing when
the spring season rolls around. His
finances, too, have ebbed with his physical
! strength and the bookies in the ring are
70 longer afraid OF the famous Dwyer
| plunges.

durance by Right will be able to face the
post The illness of this good filly is I'M
fortunate in more ways than one, for 1t
would have been highly interesting to see
her measure strides with the good colts
that promise to be out this year. Last
season she was far and away the best
FLY of the year. and she seemed to hold
nearly all of the colts safe. Her form as
three-year- old was therefore thing
to be looked forward to: for a real first
class race mare is a thing that is very
rare. In all the history of tte turf the
thoroughbred mares that have proved
themselves the equal or superior of the
| colts can be counted on the fingers or
| ones hands Endurance by Right gave
great promise of developing into another
| Firenze, Miss Woodford or an Imp.
James B. Haggin has just purchased a
large tract of land in the vicinity OF the
| Sheepshead Bay race course. where he
will build an extensive racing establish
ment His neighbors around the Sleeps
| head track are William C. Whitney, James
| r. Keene. Perry Belmont. T. r. Hitch
| cock and other lesser owners OF thorough
| breds The active return of Mr.. Haggin to
| the running turf is source of much sat
isfaction to the devotees of the sport. for
his colors were always very popular
| when he was actively engaged in racing
| few years ago. Salvador and Firenze were
| probably the best horses ever run in the
copper colors OF Mr.. Haggin. but their
performances were sufficient to bring
fame enough to one man.
1t is reported that Ethelbert. Perry
Belmont's crack thoroughbred, the win
ner of the Brighton Beach cup at two and
one quarter miles in 1900, and last year s
heavily played Suburban favorite, will be
trained again this year. He arrived at
Sheepshead Bay from Mr.. Applebys farm
last week and has gone into training
| under the direction of his old handler,
Jack Joyner Last fall Ethelbert was turn
ed out to training and retired to the stud,
| but he improved so much the past winter
that his chance of standing training again
| was considered excellent by Mr.. Joyner.
and his owner consenting, Mr.. Joyner has
taken the horse up and will point him
specially for the Annual Champion, worth
$1,000.
1t would not be surprising to many
turfmen to see Ballyhoo Bey q factor in
the Suburban Handicap. The horse is going
great guns in his work at Louisville and
has shown no signs of his old trouble.
His most recent work was mile and
one-quarter in 2:13, which he did in fine
shape, almost pulling the boy out of the
saddle. Ballyhoo Bey arrived at Morris
Park yesterday afternoon along with the
horses belonging to John E. Madden
which included Penteeost. a candidate for
the American Derby that is well thought
Of Pentecost also is entered in the Subur-
ban and Brooklyn Handicaps. and 1t may
be Madden's intention to start the horse
in one or both of those events instead Of
sending him to Chicago to run in the
Derby. Madden's lot also includes thirty
one two-year- olds, among which are said
TO be some very promising horses.
