HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE
Technical Boys Won From Western by
Score of 6 to 5.

The High School League base ball sea-
son opened in the rain yesterday afternoon
at Van Ness Park, when the team of the
Mckinley Training School crossed bats
with the Western High School boys. Both
mines played a good game-better than
was expected with the unfavorable condi-
lions of earth and heavens. In the sixth
inning the rain became too much for them
and the game was called, the score revert
ing to that in the fifth inning and stand
ing to 5 In favor of the manual training
boys.
The game was called at 2:45 D. m. and
was interesting from start to finish. The
Tech boys were somewhat surprised at
the way their rivals from across the creek
showed up. The former won the champion
ship last year and feel much confidence
this year in their ability to wallop the other
members of the High School League.
Lynch of Western pitched a ball that
greatly puzzled his opponents for awhile.
The lineup Of the two teams yesterday
was as follows:
echnical-Hotzner. catcher; Bohnke.
second base; Kohler. pitcher; Ballinger
Watson, left field; Geib. center field;
Smith. Simpson or Dugannel, right field;
Haring. shortstop.
Western - Church Captain catcher;
fort, second base; Smith, shortstop Worth
ington. third base; Luttrel, left field;
Michael. center field Nelson, right field.
Mr.. Venoble umpired the game. ..-.
The opinion of those closest to base ball
matters in the high schools is that the
contest this year will be closer than ever
Good games have been played with Gallau-
det. the Friends. Select School and other
schools. Both Technical and Eastern have
trounced the Friends team Business has
won from Gallaudet, and Central is more
practice games than have been played by
any other teams has shown up very strong
at the bat.
The schedule for the championship series
of games has been published before In The

The game between Eastern and Central

SOUTHAMPTON A GOOD THING.
"Killing" at Jamaica With a Colored
Cooks Horse.

FROM the New YORK Sun
For week past Bob Johnston. a colored
cook who runs a boarding house kitchen"
for stable hands, exercise boys and others
at the Jamaica race track. has been a
man of mystery. Except to answer the
usual questions as. to what made up the
bill of fare or to pass the time of day, he
has kept his mouth closed as tight as a
drum. This air Of secrecy naturally ex-
cited curiosity among the track Inhabitants
who knew that Johnson had something to
do with the maiden three-year-old colt
Southampton. by Bathampton-Flirt, who
was sold by Perry Belmont last year. The
colt was in the hands of Trainer Howard
Williams. formerly in the employ of julius
Fleischman. Billy Barrick and Jacob Worth,
and It was rumored a few days ago that
the first time he started he would win at a
long price. Johnston unsealed his lips yes
terday morning to favored few. He told
them that the day had arrived when the
bookmakers would be relieved of their coin
in chunks. and urged them to get aboard.
The favored few lost no time in telling
their own friends. so that 1t may be said
that every colored man at the track had
the tip, which was later impaired to
others.
Southampton opened at 60 to 1. In jifry
a battalion of colored men swarmed through
the big betting ring. betting 81. 81. 50 and
so on the colt, while many white men
spread larger wagers across the board The
layers had been handling a world OF wise
money which served to back Billy Roche
down from to 1 to a to favorite, while
Ogontz caught more at to 2. But sud
denly they became aware of the fact that a
killing with Southampton was on the cards.
and they began rubbing the odds until IL
to / was the best price on offer.
Patsy McCue had the mount, and when
he went trailing up the backstretch far
back in the ruck the eolored betters scowled
and looked around for Bob But their sus-
pense was shortlived. for rounding the turn
Southampton moved his field down like
chaff before the wind and McCue brought
the colt home winner in a sensational drive.
with war whoops and yells the colored
contingent rushed back to the ring to cash,
while Bob Johnston, the hero of the hour,
declared that at the boarding house
kitchen" there would be terrapin and wine
for supper instead of corn beef and cab
bage and black coffee. 1t was killing all
right, and the books were busy paying out

National league Clubs Standing.

The Boston Americans arrived in Wash
ington at noon lay, direct from Phila-
delphia. where I " trounced the Ath-
letics soundly. and are in fine fettle for
the pending series with the Senators. Last
nights heavy rain and the continued cloud
mess today prevented today's game. Mana
ger Collins was somewhat disappointed
over the bad weather. as he had counted
on securing four senatorial scalps, but
will now have to be content with three.
II would like to see the Washington club
win several games he said to a Star re-
porter at the Ebbitt this afternoon, but
not from the Boston club. We are out for
the championship again this year, and all
the victories we can gather in at this time
may come In handy later on when the
other clubs get going at their best. The
Senators have always been our 'hoodo,'
and they certainly made us play our best
in the opening series at home. The Wash
ington team looked very good to me last
week, and with a little strengthening will
assuredly give a good account of Itself
The new owner of the Boston team, John
l. Taylor, a son of the proprietor of the
Boston Globe. is with the champions, and
all the players are enthusiastic over the
fact that he is a great base ball fan and
takes a big interest in everything they do.
He knows the game from every point and
will do everything possible to keep the
championship flag in Boston another year.
Up to noon nothing had been heard from
either Donovan or Davis. The former is in
st. Louis waiting for the official notifca-
ton of his release by the National League
and has promised to start for this city just
soon as he possibly can. When last
heard OF Davis was in Minneapolis, but nu-
merous kilograms have failed to locate him
and he may be on Lis way east.
