gameness and fought hard for the victory,
but Maybin came strong under the whip
and at the finish was a head in front.
Blue Delft easily secured the place from
Mystic Belle, with Optima fourth.
Himself and Essene were scratched in
the fifth. and of those remaining Ohnet
was thought to be the best. The gelding
was always favorite but there was a
strong play on Red Path and Pigeon Post.
and good odds were always obtainable
about the chestnut.
The start was good. with Ohnet the
leader. Tenagra. Red Path. Trump, and
Pigeon Post following in the order named.

heavy play. and Inkling and Rendezvous
had many followers.

lead. Turning into the back stretch

was several lengths to the good, with May
J. and Inkling having a struggle for the
place, Fabius showing next.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, April THE
Cornell University baseball aggregation
tarried here this afternoon Just long
enough to take the Virginia balltossers
into camp to the tune of 16 to 10. The
Comedians are on the homestretch of
Southern tour that has resulted in moth
ing but victories. and left here last night
full OF confidence regarding the outcome
of their struggle with Georgetown to-
morrow
The game this afternoon was signaIized
by hard and almost continuous pounding
of the leather. Both twirIers were found
apparently at WILL and the value of the
many hits was increased by the profusion
Of errors. Cornell was slightly better in
its fielding than the local aggregation and
were also more fortunate in connecting
with the leather at cpportune times.
The Virginians struck a batting rally in
the eighth inning that nearly won them
the game. Five men were sent across the
plate before the visitors succeeded in re-
tiring the requisite three men, but as the
following inning resulted in 4 goose egg.
the Virginians were forced to accept their
defeat as gracefully as may be.

HIGH-CLASS BOWLING.
Golden Eagles Close. the Season by Win
ming Two Games From Saenqers.

The District Bowling League closed its
season last night with some of the high
est class bowling of the series. The con-
testing teams represented the Golden
Eagle Club and the Saengerbund. and the
former won two of the three games
bowled.
The first game went to the Eagles
with a total of 914. winning by e2 pins.
The second was won by the same team.
but it barely squeezed out by one pin to
the good. In the last game the Eagles
went two pins below the 300 mark, while
the Saengers duplicated the high score
made in the first game. 914. The high class
bowling speaks well for the quality of the
Golden Eagles alleys.
The games were remarkable not only
for the high totals made, but for the
splendid individual work of several OF the
bowlers. Four clean games were bowied
Two for Scheuerman and two for Brandt.
The former bowler was in especially
fine form. bowling an average of zoo and
having high single with 224, and another
of 217. Both games were without a break,
the highest total being made on eight
strikes. His nearest competitor in aver
ages was Ludwig, who had 1856, with
Brandt next, 1T9. Giovenettis first and
last games were well up, but his trio
sagged in the middle, dropping to 13s. He
picked the 5-10 spare.
The league will hold a meeting next
week. when it will wind up it's affairs and
at the same time present the large as
sortment of prizes and cups to the win
ming players and teams. The presentation
will probably take place at Carroll In
stitute. whose team won the seasons
championship.

CHICAGO. April 7.-Dr. Robert E.

DR.. Gray has sworn out warrant for

fused to allow the restaurant man to

The Game Tomorrow.

A glance at his record of last year. how
ever, will demonstrate that Wolyerton is
no slOuch at lowering around the last
sack. and that when he gets in condi-
tion. which viii be in a day or two. he
will make people open their eyes. An
other thing that is against him is the fact
that he never was a star performer in
practice. He will mess up everything
that comes his way before a game. only
to go in at the tap Of the bell and ac-
cumulate the most difficult chances with
out an error. 1t is good trait, as the
reverse is unfortunately often the case.
Last year the eX-Quaker ranked second
in the list of National League third base
men who .rIayed in fifty games or more.
He oiliciated in ninety-twO games. during
which time 327 opportunities came his
way. He successfully gathered in all but
twenty six of these having record of
tf3 put outs and 1856 assists to his credit

The Gard for Today.

The card for TODAY is a good one and
of such uncertain quality that selecting
winners will be anything but easy. The
usual six races are offered. and one
can find fault with the fields, they are
all large. In the first race of the day Will
be seen Charley Moore, the most consistent
horse at the track. having started four
times. out of which he was returned win
ner three times-and running second in
the only race where he suffered defeat
The second race on the programme will
bring together some of the best two-year
olds of the meeting. The finish between
Blue Peter and Morca should be a grand
one Another good feature on the card is
the maiden hurdle race at a mile and a
half: down on the programme as the third.
The balance of the card is very good. and
brings together horses of fair quality and
proven merit.

ting the Senators went to their respec-
tive positions, and there they stayed until
lunch time. The work was extremely
fast. and the men received some much
needed practice in team work While the
inheld was engaged in passing the leather
about in a lively manner. Patten was
knocking high ones into the outfieId for
the benefit of Delehanty. Keister, and
Ryan.
Coughlin again showed up extremely
we'll at the second cushion. He is rapidIv
catching on to the fine points of his posi-
tion. and is learning to cover the sack
with remarkable speed and precision. His
work is. of course, not up to the high
standard he established at third last wear.
but it gives great promise of improve
ment. Billy is quick to learn. and as
he has the instinct of born ball player
there should be little difficulty in turning
him into a irst-class second baseman.
Wolverton still shows signs of his win
ter's inactivity. He was not sure of him
self yesterday morning. although he got
back into something like his old form
