BALL PLAYER DEvLIN.
Washington Boy Doing Great Work TO,
New York Nationals.

From the New York Telegram.
One of the bright particular stars of the
Giants Is Arthur Devlin, lad who has yet
to see his twenty-fourth birthday.
He Is a youngster who promises to rival
even his manager, johnny" McGraw. and
the famous Jimmy Collins as third
baseman.
Devlin is peculiar chap. Base ball Is
his hobby. The art Of playing the ma
ticral game scientifically Is always on his
mind.
If he makes error or the game Is
lost through any mfsplay by him. he hides
himself away from the other members Of
the troop and tries to figure out how 1t came
about that he did 1t.
1t isn't often that he makes a bungle.
but when he does 1t is generally on an
easy play.
He plays his position superbly.
Standing as he does. with his legs well
together, but in a position to move to the
left or right. as the occasion demands.
and always on his tptoe, he Is ever alert
to grasp the ball, no matter how hard hit,
IL 1t is within reaching distance.
He has been credited with many phe-
nomenal stops and plays
Devlin is a college bred boy. He took
a course OF studies at Georgetown Univer-
sity Washington. d. c.. and in his fresh
man year he played so well that he was
chosen captain. This is an honor rarely
obtained by freshman.
Manager Burnham of the Newark club of
the Eastern League secured this youngster
and played him on his team last year in
Newark.
It was Devlin's clever performances at
the bat and in the infield which attracted
Manager McGraw 8 attention, and when the
purchasing dates were open McGraw i'm
mediateiy bought the young fellows re-
lease.
Devlin was to have been utility man.
as McGraw had counted on putting Roger
Bresnahan on third. But ii was Rogers
luck to get hurt.
That accident cost Bresnahan his job.
Devlin was placed at third temporarily.
but he proved himself Bresnahan's SUI
perior at the position, and he has been there
ever since.
Devlin has been a great "fnd," as he
is a natural ball player.
Since he started to play the position at
third base he has batted an average of
1853. In 1873 times at bat he has made
"a runs and Al hits. He has 80 put
outs and 81 assists to his credit. while 10
errors are charged against him. This
makes his fielding average 1896.
Figures in this respect don't count for
much. as Deviin goes after everything
within his reach. and many errors on balls
which he has tried to field and missed
would have gone for base hits had many
other third basemen had the same chances

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

CHICAGO. June 2.-The Washington Sen
ators went down to defeat before the White
Sox In the opening game of the series yes
terday by the score OF to o. The game
was one of the best played on the local
grounds this year. despite the cold weather.
which kept the crowd down to 1,500.
1t was a pitchers battle throughout be-
tween Jacobsen and Owen, Comiskey' 8
southpaw. Honors were with the local
man. as he held his opponents at his mercy
at all times. In the third inning he re-
tired the whole side In one, two, three or
der on strikes. Few of the Senators got
to first base and fewer got past that point.
On the other hand, Jacobsen pitched a
good game. but he was not as steady as
Owen. In fact, 1t was largely due to Jacob
sen that Chicago was able to score its win
ming run In the fifth inning. He allowed
Tannehill, the first man up. to double and
then he fumbled McFarland's grounder.
This seemed to trouble him, as Owen sent
the next ball pitched for a single. which
scored Tannehill with the solitary one of
the game.
The rest of the game the visiting pitcher
was at his best, and despite the fifth inning
Washington played well enough to win
was simply another case of Washington
playing its best game at the same time
that its opponents were playing frst-class
pail and managed to squeeze out the vic
tory. The men have still to find their bat
ting eyes. for they were completely with
out ability in that line today
Changed Batting Order.
Donovan turned his batting order upside
down In an effort to strengthen the bat
ting department, but he failed to gain his
object. Perhaps the failure was due to
the fact that Owen was in rare form and
1t may work better against other twirlers.
me change was made necessary because
Setback was out with a broken finger Cas-
sidy went to left and Stahi was sent from
nrst to center. while Bill Clarke held down
the initial bag
The day was rather cold for base ball and
only 1.ooO were out to see the first Of the
SERIES
Coughlin. the first man I'D. went ont on
an easy grounder to Owen. Moran singled,
but got no farther, as Clarke and Cassidy
could do no better than knock infieId
grounders. Holmes. the first White Sox up,
barely beat out a grounder. but Davis and
Jones were easy outs. and Green ended the
inning by flying out to Stahl.
Mccormick singled in the second. but was
forced out by Stahl a moment later
Neither Kittredge nor Donovan was able to
reach first. For Chicago. Donahue. Isbell
and Tannehill went out In one two three
order.
In the third Owen retired the first three
Standardization, Coughlin and Moran
on strikes. much to the delight Of the
crowd. Mcfarland and Owen were out on
easy grounders for Chicago, and then
Jacobsen hit Holmes. The best Jones could
do was popup fly to Mccormick
The Senators were easily retired in the
fourth. Chicago got Davis to second, but
he was caught going to third on Donahue's
hit to short.

White Sox's Solitary Run.

Stahl. Donovan and Kittredge could not
reach first In the fifth. Then came the
eventful period in which Jacobsen went up
in the air. Tannehill doubled to left field.
Mcfarland knocked a grounder to Jacob
sen. who fell down on 1t in his efforts to
field 1t. Owen knocked a clean single and
Tannehill scored. Jacobsen came down and
Holmes was out on easy grounder.
Jones fouled out and then Jacobsen famed
Davis.
After the fifth 1t was the same old story,
with a man reaching first now and then,
but failing to complete the circuit. Score:

GOOD BIRD RACE.

N. c., Distance Of 800 Miles.
The last race Of the Potomac Homing
Pigeon Club was flown on May 30, the
birds being liberated by Mr.. ]. H. Willis,
who wired: Liberated at 6:15 a m; weather
favorable" At home the weather was any
thing but good, although 1t cleared about
an hour before the arrival of the first birds
Following is the average speed per minute
for the first six birds: Fugitt & Fuller,
I258 yards; w. ]. True. 1905 yards;
]. 8. Goldsmith, 1.12s.36 yards; Fugitt
& Fuller. Lib yards; A Andre. 1909 yards:
L. Kulle, 1,OCO yards: H. Lusby, no report
The diploma winners are Fugitt & Fuller
first and fourth; w. J. True, second and
j. 8. Goldsmith. third.
The speed made by the birds was consid-
the reason Mr.. Goldsmith was not nearer
the top. as when he closed the traps he was
surprised to find that he had one of his
feathered pets at home. The president.
Mr. w. c. Medford, veteran fancier of
several years, has not flown his birds this
season. but has always given a helping
hand to the club in its flights by timing the
returns OF each race. but was not on hand
Monday, as the birds returned sooner than
was expected.
This being the first year that most of the
members of this club have flown homing
pigeons, 1t has been decided to stop at the
SO0miIe station. Most Of the boys have
had to fly birds that they were breeding,
and this has proved a great handicap to
those who have small lofts of birds, but 1t
Is hoped that by the time the young
bird racing season opens they will have a
number of youngsters to fly.
