New York Giants Register Shut Out
Against Colonel Rogers kindergarten
Pleasant Weather and Large Crowds
Throughout the Circuit.

After months of weary pickering. inter-
nal dissension and external warfare. the
the National League and American Asso-
citation of Professional Baseball Clubs
opened its championship season for 1902
under the most happy auspices. Nearly
80. coo people witnessed the opening games
in the present pennant scramble, and
throughout the circut: the weather man
was uniformly kind. ::
In all of the cities bright skies and
comparatively warm weather greeted the
faithful upon their initial appearance af-
ter nearly six months of Information. The
members of the "Old Guard" were out
in force. and while they missed many a
familiar face from the ranks, still the
exhibitions of the national game :hat
were put up for their edifcation were
such that few regrets were heard for the
ones who have jumped.
The playing of the various teams was
quite up to the standard of other years
at this time Pittsburg and Boston di-
vided the honors of negotiating error
less games, while st. Louis and Philadel-
phia were in the same boat as regards
a thorough whitewashing The premier
contest of the day was that between st.
Louis and Pittsburg. They battled for
nine full innings. during which time but
one run crossed the plate.
There were no overwhelming SEQ IS
run up by any aggregation. and the ma
iority of the contests were highly eX-
citing until the last man was retired in
the last inning. There were no sensa-
tional finishes, although in two instances
the teams that secured the first tallies
were later headed, and faile! to regain
their respective leads.
All in all. it was a most successful
Inauguration of the national sport, anc
from the meager predictions that can be
deduced from the performances of the
several teams, the National League race
Will be close and exciting. The greatest
surprise of all was the excellent show
ing made by New York and Chicago,
which are considered the weakest clubs

Swormstedt served. and hit him harder
than the best account would indicate.
The Reds scored their lonely run in the
first.
Hoy Travelled to second on Dexter's
throw over O'Hagan's head. Dobbs con-
tributed a sacrifice, and the mute scored
on Beckley's bingle, which caromed OF
Taylor's shins to Tinker.
Congalton tied things up in the second.
He walked. Chance was chuckling to
himself over his feat in beating out his
bunt to Beck, made for sacrifice purposes.
He was so busy enjoying himself that
he didn't see st. Jacob" hide the ball,
and when he stepped off first he was a
dead bird. O'Hagan's grounder went
straight to Corcoran, but 1t sneaked
through him, and Congalton Tailed.
Chicago pulled ahead In the fourth.
Congalton pushed a beauty into right.
Chance walked. Captain Lowe lived up to
his old reputation as pinch hitter by
smashing a scorcher down the left line
that took an ugly bound and punched
DOLBY" in the face. Both Congalton and
Chance scored.
In the seventh Tinker doubled to left.
Taylor sacrificed. Slagle's grounder was
fumbled by Beck, just long enough to let
Tinker in, but the human mosquito" was
nailed. Miller travelled to third on a
corking drive to deep right and scored on
Steinfeldt's tumble of Dexter's unexpect-
ed bunt. Taylor's triple and an out netted

MATTHEWSON is HIMSELF.
May Have Gone Back, But He is Good
Enough For New York.
Especial 10 The Washington Times.)


NEW YORK. April 17.-Twenty-four
thousand enthusiastic baseball fans saw
the New York club waliop the remnants
of the once great Philadelphia team today
at the Polo Grounds. 1t was a genuine
old-fashioned opening. with bunting, mu-
sic, parade OF the players, and enthusi
asm galore.
Christy Matthewson was the hero OF
the day. The great young twirler pitched
the Quakers into a state of dizziness early
in the game, from which they did not
recover. He whipped the ball over the
plate with midsummer speed, and at all
times had the Phillies completely at his
mercy when they needed hits.
In the fourth inning the New Yorks
developed a batting streak and won the
game there and then. An error by Dou-
glass, hits by Jackson, Smith, Yeager.
Dunn. and Jones and fine base running by
Dunn and Jones resulted in five runs. In
the sixth they added two more tallies on
singles by Yeager and Delehanty and
Jones drive for two bases.
Jack Barry was the only Quaker who
had any success with Matty's curves. He
got two of the Phillies four hits.
Matthewson. Smith, Hulswitt, and Dunn
led in the fielding. Dunn's catch OF
Brownies twisting fly, on which he aou-
bled up Barry, was the play Of the game.

Kruger's Misplay Gave the Pirates Their
Single Run of the Contest.
Special to The Washington Times.)

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 1.-THE Pitts
burg Pirates, who came to St Louis with
the idea of walking all over the new Car
dinals, were lucky to get of with a vic
tory in the first game of the SERIES The
final score was 1 to 0.
Even the single run was not earned, and
but for an error by Kruger the shortstop
of the Cardinals. the game would have
gone an extra inning. PHILIPPE and
Yerkes, were the opposing twirlers, and
the Pittsburger had the advantage, al
though Yerkes twirlad a good game
Yerkes gave more bases on balls than
his opponent, but ne was also more effec-
tive when it came to strike-outs. In the
third inning with Leach on third, he
struck out the next two batters up. and
prevented a run from coming in.
Leach did some great sticking for the
Pittsburg team, as he made three hits
out of four times up. One Of these was
a two-bagger and the second one for
three. Wagner secured two hits. but
the batting OF the other members of his
team was scattered. With the exception
OF Farrell. who did service with the
Washington team last season, the stick
work of the St. Louis team was well dis
tributed. Farrell secured two good
singles out of four times up.

POLICEMAN FINED.
Dereliction of Duty Costs Private Far
quhar Four Days' Leave.

The District Commissioners have taken
action in the case of Private w. c. Far
quhar. of the Police Department, approv-
ing the recommendation of Major Sylves-
ter. Private Farquhar was charged by
his superior officers with neglect of duty
and found guilty before the trial board.
The special charge was that he arrested a
colored man and failed to convey him to
the Seventh precinct station house. to be
held as required by law and the regula-
tions.
Major Sylvester recommended that Pri-
vate Farquhar be fined four days leave OF
absence. to which he might otherwise be
entitled.
1t appears that when the patrol wagon
appeared at the box where Private Far
quhar was OBTAINING the colored man that
the driver. Private Lyddane, only was in
charge. and that a difference OF opinion
arose relative to Private Farquhar accom-
panying the wagon to the station, the lat
ter refusing to go.
Major Sylvester suggests that Private
Lyddane was at fault in this, as he should
have telephoned to the station and re-
ported the condition at the box. He rec
ommends that the driver be reprimanded
for his dereliction.

SMOKE LAW HEARINGS.
City Solicitor, Health Officer, and Gen
eral HarTies Testify.

The House District Committee devoted
the best part of it's session yesterday to
the consideration of the Mercer bill,
amending the present smoke law to render
it possible to meet its requirement by
equpping plants with device to be ap-
proved by the Commissioners.
City Solicitor Duvall, Health Officer
Woodward, and Gen. George H. Harries,
vice president of the Washington Traction
and Suburban Street Railway Company,
were heard by the committee.
The City Solicitor and the Health Officer
opposed the amendment, while General
Harries advocated its adoption.
AS result of the hearing the Mercer
bill was referred back to the subcommit-
tee with instructions that the subcom-
mittee confer with the District Commits
sioners on the subject, and report to the
full committee at next meeting.
The joint resolution introduced by Rep
resentativc Mudd to postpone the pay
ment of taxes On real estate in the Dis
trict of Columbia for the fiscal year 1903.
from November, 1902, to May, 1903, was

Mr.. Sinclair Pleads Guilty to

observation-disclosures Has Been to a
Great Extent Abated.

The fact that Mr.. Lindley E. Sinclair.
general manager OF the Washington Trac-
tion and Electric Company. yesterday
pleaded guilty to twenty alleged viola
tions of the anti-smoke law, and paid
fines aggregating 5000, indicates that the
agreement reached between the attorneys
for the Government and those represent
ing the defendant company. that no
further action should be taken pending
the disposition OF an appeal, has been de-
clared off. The Commissioners have ruled
law prosecutions.
Handsome Sum Paid in Fines.
The defendant company has to date paid
into the District Golfers in fines and for
FIXTURES s165. By disseminating the use of
its plants at Twenty-ninth and n Streets
and Thirty-third and Water Streets, it is
held the Washington Traction and Elec-
tric Company has removed cause for COM
plant in those localities. There are
twenty-four cases still pending against
the corporation in the Police Court. Some
of these are based on alleged violations OF
the smoke Law at these two plans. and
they will not be withdrawn.
Action, however, in these cases, and in
certain ones in which it is claimed the
law was oyerstepped at the power houses
located at the corner of Four r-anda a-half
and p Streets southwest. and II Street,
near Fifteenth northeast, has been sus-
pended pending the decision of the Court
of Appeals on various points of law which
it is claimed are common to all the cases
brought against the company. But as
these questions. it is argued. arise out of
situations peculiar to the organization of
this corporation, the appeals which have
been taken will not effect the suspension
of action in proceedings which have been
instituted against other alleged offenders.
II is stated that the Health Department
has found a material decrease in the vol
ume and density of the smoke emitted
from the plant of the United States Elec-
trio Lighting Company. This plant gave
rise to the twenty cases disposed of yes
terday. and the Commissioners feel that
the disposition made OF them is to the
best interests OF all concerned.

years old, was arrested by Detectives

There was a rumor about town yester-
day morning that an accident or some Sc
rious trouble had ed at the War De-
partment. One version was that some dis

The report was erroneous. It arose
from the fact that the man who raises
the American flag over the building every
morning raised it upside down. which is a
signal of distress. Within fifteen minutes
after the flag was hoisted the depart
