Pathhnders Were Out of the Game
Yesterday for Various Causes.
Gallagher Released.
Dad LaRocque will open two cans
OF ginger this afternoon, take off the
brakes and let his baseball Juggernaut
rumble over the persevering Y. NJ. C.
A aggregation at whatever speed the
fates may decree, and the ability of
the Pathfinders may permit.
1t will be the last exhibition game
TO be played by the wearers of the blue
and white before the opening of the
big show on Tuesday afternoon. and
Capt. Harmon is anxious that at least
one victory be placed to the credit of
the association team before their last
chance at the leaguers is gone.
The line up of the Pathfinders for
the first four innings to-day will be the
same as will be sent against Ashen-
back Tuesday afternoon. Con WEIGH
will work out for four innings, giving
place to Johnny Welsh.
Harmon will. of course. be the slab
man for the Y. NJ. c. AS. and if he
is given any kind of support the score
may be close enough to make the con-
test highly exciting. The line up of
the two teams will be as follows.

Many CrippIes Yesterday.
The practice yesterday afternoon was
not as well attended as usual. four
men being absent. Savidge was suf-
fering with a bad cold and was ex-
cused from reporting to the grounds;
Jutzi was indisposed. and was ex-
cused; Ray was suffering from a bruis-
ed eye, and Gallagher received his
pink slip before the time for prac-
tice, the final reason being a mix-up
between he and Ray shortly after
the noon meal Gallagher will prob
ably leave for Philadelphia to-day.
The two new men signed by Manager
LaRocque will arrive to-day from
Washington, and if they are in con-
dition will be tried at once. and may
be put in the game If they show up
in shape. Both men come highly rec
commended, one an infielder and the
other a pitcher. The addition of a good
hitting and strong throwing infielder
would be the most pleasing annexa-
ton that Manager LaRocque could
make just now, and if the new arrival
shows up promising at all he will be
given all the chance he wants.
Good Practice Game.
The team was out early enough to
take advantage of the warm sunshine
which shone shortly after noon, and
some snappy plays were pulled off
aiming the QudIlGlAG VI lIlllGluSIS.' 4 Ac
hard work that has been done on the
diamond made a noticeable difference
in the number of errors spilled, and all
of the men were kept back to the edge
of the grass so as to be ready for the
fast ones.
The race for places on the pitching
staff is rapidly narrowing down, but
Dad will not open his mouth as to just
who the lucky ones look to be now.
There will be few pink slips handed
out until a week or so after the season
really opens, and then the team may
be kept up to fifteen or sixteen men
until June l, when the final wedding
out will have to be done TO get down
to the limit.
