The Washington club played its first game
of the season with the Orioles yesterday at
Baltimore, and the latter won out by the
score of Q to 4. There has always been a
great rivalry between the two cities in the
base ball world and yesterdays contest at
tracted one of the largest Monday crowds
of the season. No matter how poorly the
Orioles play against other teams, when
they go up against a Washington aggrega-
ton gilt-edged ball can always be looked
for. Yesterday was no exception to the
rule. The Birds had just returned from
trip to Boston and Philadelphia, where
very ordinary exhibitions of ball playing
had been given. but yesterday. as soon as
the letter W. was spied on the shirts of
the Senators. every man on the Baltimore
team frightened up and played the game
of his life.
Pitcher Joe McGinnity has been hit very
hard this spring, but, of course, he had
to have one of his best days yesterday, and
the Senators had hard time getting the
ball safe when men were on bases Case
Patten did the twirling for the Washing
tons, and would have won his game against
ordinary playing, but the Orioles played
heady ball after the third inning, and then
the runs came fast. AT the beginning of
the game every man on the Baltimore team
took shy at knocking one of Patterns
curves out of the lot, but found out that
he was a puzzle. Then they played "Old
Baltimore ball." bunting, sacrificing and
running the bases with splendid nerve and
judgment. with the result that Patten be-

awry. and the Baltimore birdlets won the
game right there and then.

the second inning. Delehanty led off with
a two-bagger to left. Then. for moment

the player will find himself in deep water

in April that the dictates of his conscience

them this season, he stipulated that it
would be necessary to return $500 advanced
by the Brooklyn club and to take up GER

A check for that amount was mailed him

Sheckard collected the cash before leaving
his home at Columbia, Pa. Exactly two

for Sheckard to enter the confines of this

a requisition be asked Of the governors Of

Erne at once started to spar somewhat
wildly and i'll return Cans sent out his left
hand. which broke down Erne's guard. A
second later Cans followed up his advan-
tage by a blow on the jaw. This was the
elimination of the series of fierce blows
which had been showered on him by Cans.
and Erne fell to the floor in a heap. AS
the referee. Charley White. counted him
out Erne rolled over on his stomach.
The consensus of opinion by the experts
at the ring was that the fight was Alto
gether too short to successfully determine
the superiority of either man with the
small gloves.
