The lower Potomac Monday was the
scene of the annual regatta of the Capital
Yacht Club. something like twenty boats

The boats left the 9th street wharf Sat-

Base Ball Notes.

Senators open the western series in Chi
cago today.
Jack Townsend will probably pitch, and
Setback will be back in left field.
Orth Collins wanted to play here for $500,
but the Senators were in such a chaotic
state that he was allowed to go to Roches-
ter. The youngster must be pretty good
when Griffith trades Thoney for him.
Manager Donovan may make several
trades while on the western trip, although
he has few men the other clubs want. De-

ran, and it looks a good deal as If the lat

THoNEY FOR COLLINS.
Young Washington Player to Replace
Fultz on New York Team.

Clark Griffith went to Rochester yester-
day and traded Thoney for o. Smith Col
Inns, young outfielder from Washington,
who has been temporarily playing third
base for the Rochesters.
Collins will play center field for the High
landers in place of Dave Fultz. whose legs
have gone back on him.
Collins formerly played in the Missouri
Valley League and on other minor leagues
and has led in every club in hitting. He is
a natural left-handed batter and invariably
lays the ball on the ground.
