Several Names Are Mentioned in Con-
nection With the Position.

Washington, Feb. 25.-There has
been considerable discussion around
the senate and house about the proba-
bic successor to Senator Hanna as
chairman of the republican national
committee and the name of Senator

Result of Eating 1t.

Cayuga, l. T., Feb. 25.-Five mem

was game being played between Harris

station was nearly as large as the one at
the morning game. AS the Senators alight-

made rush for him. He was taken away
from the other Washington players and on

Cassidy had to brace himself against the
wall of the lobby and do continuous hand
shaking act for nearly forty minutes. His
friends finally interfered and dragged him
away to his room. The other Washington

In the afternoon, when the Washington
team reached the park of the Harrisburg
club, which is on an island in the Susque-
hanna river, nearly $500 spectators were
on hand, and once more Joe Cassidy came
in for a great reception, the ball players
gathering around the youngster and renew
ing acquaintance of last summer. When
Cassidy went to the bat for the first time a
prominent Harrisburg lawyer walked down
to the plate, and in a few well-chosen words
presented the Senator's shortstop with a
handsome diamond scarf pin. Joe was taken
completely by surprise, and the best he
could do was to murmur thanks and tip his
hat to the crowd.

FALL TENNIS JOURNEYS.
Van Hoesen Won Y. M. C. A. Cham
pionShip.

The tennis tournament of the Y. M. C. A.
on Capitol Hill is drawing to a close, the
finals of the singles being played yesterday
afternoon, which leaves only the final dou-
bles and the consolation matches to be
played. The weather was superb for play
ing, but somewhat chilly for the spectators.
Van Hoesen was the victor in the singles
defeating Lundy 60, IS, 60. 1t was ex-
pected that Lundy would put up strong
game against Van Hoesen, but the latters
volleying was too much for the former and
the first and last set were won by good
margins. In the second set Lundy braced
up nicely and made his opponent do his
best to win out.
This makes Van Hoesen the Young Mems
Christian Association champion. The sec
ond prize will go to Lundy.
Lundy and Sullivan defeated Scrivener
and Welch in the semi-fnal doubles This
match was begun Wednesday and finished
late last evening. The score was Ga, 6-3
Lundy and Sullivan will play Hart and Rob-
inett today in the final doubles.

mas always been a nuisance. Not infre-
quently his idiocy has amounted to posi-
tive crime Indeed, there are few laws
on the statute books which he has not
violated in his pursuit of fun He has
lied, stolen, committed arson and assault
and murdered times without number. and
usually escaped punishment on the plea
that his crimes spring from an Innocent
sense OF the ridiculous that entirely diff.
Ierentiates him from the vulgar criminals
who do these things simply to keep from
starving or to crafty desire for revenge.
he Is unable to plead lunacy as an ex-
cuse Tor his misdeeds and of course, is
entirely too much of a good citizen and
aitogether too respectable to be charged
with willful crimfnality 'It is to laugh"
that he does what would send people with
different ideas of humor to the jail or the
gailows, and curiously enough society has
always been inclined to encourage him by
refusing to punish his escapades

RACES AT GRAVESEND.
Walter Jennings Dainty Captured oc-
cidental Handicap

The Occidental handicap, one mile and
furlong, run at Gravesend yesterday, was
one of the most interesting affairs of its
kind seen there this season. So far as the
betting was concerned. the talent, while
showing something of a fancy for First
Mason, the top weight, who was the choice
at IL to 5, was rather perplexed to the
outcome. with the result that every horse
in the race was more or less supported. With
First Mason backed down, the price against

Going out in 81, the Canadian had a lead

ORATOR" o'RoURKE.
Veteran Ball Player Still Good After
Thirty-One Years. Service.

Tim O'Rourke. the grand old man of
base ball, beside whose record those of
Pop Arson and other veterans faded into
insignificance yesterday made his first
appearance in many years at the Polo
grounds, New York and handled the de-
livery of Iron Man McGinnity without a
flaw.
ORourke has been playing ball profess
sionally for thirty-one years without in
PERMISSION.
During his long service in the National
League on the Boston, Buffalo, New York
and Washington teams ORourke was a
noted outfielder, and now and then went
behind the bat to help out. Since he has
been club owner in the Connecticut
League the veteran has developed into a
full-fedged catcher. -
O'Rourke was one of the original Giants
who won the pennant in 1888 and 1889.
and has never lost his love for the old
team. He had longing to play once more
with his old club and to show his old con-
stituents and their descendants what he
can do "a. as baekstop, although ne has
passed the half century mark In years.
Manager McGraw consented to give
'Jeems" the Opportunity, and ORourke
not only had the honor of helping the
Giants to win their one hundredth vic
tory of the season, but the game that
gave to them the pennant as well.
Those who expected to see spawned
has been" behind the bat saw a man who
has the aetivityaof a tyoungster combined
with the practical experience of a War
ner, Mcclure or Robinson. Not one of
the Iron Mans shoots got away from
Teens nor did he make a bad throw.
His one error WIS a muff of a throw from
McGinnity to the plate to force runner
and this was due to over-anxiety to COM
plete double play at first base.
AT the bat ORourke made hit and got
to third base on a bad throw by Stein
feldt. He blazed his way around the
bases like a minor league colt.

Georgetown and "Aggies" Open the
Season Tomorrow.

The cool weather of the past couple days
has given foot ball great impetus around
Washington. and all the teams have been
working with unusual energy for their
opening games. The season opens in the
District tomorrow with game between
the Maryland Agricultural College boys and
the Georgetown University aggregation.
The "Aggies" have been working diligently
for the past month for this game, and a
great deal depends upon what sort of
showing they make. The farmers go
against the blue and gray every fall, and
the other Maryland teams watch the out
come SO as to get possible estimate of
their strength.
The Georgetown team this season looks to
be about the best for decade. Heretofore
the blue and gray have been depending
upon speed, but this year there will be
considerable beef in the line. and those
teams who have made it business of
crushing down the lighter men will find
something Of proposition confronting
them when they come to Washington.
