OPENING GAME TOMORROW
New Park Nearly Ready for the Sena.
tors and Athletics.

Contractor Harvey and his big corps of
workingmen made splendid progress on the
new ball park yesterday, and at noon. to-
day it looked as though everything would
be in fairly good shape for the opening
game tomorrow. Two-thirds of the grand
stand had been almost completed I'D to
noon, the seats being carried in and put
down right on the heels of the men who
were laying the flooring. and the roof was
put on in the same way. 1t will make an
imposing appearance when completed on
account of the two fifty-cent stands that
have been erected on both its ends, and
WHICH make a sort of elongated horseshoe
curve overSthe entire infield All the board
walks have been put down, two running
from the street to the entrance, where
there used to be one. and the inside of
the different stand entrances. This morn
ing work the ticket office was started.
and it will be Knocked together in quick
order. The press representatives will have
to rough it for a while, temporary benches
being put up for them for the first series
of games, but Mr.. Dwyer says he will have
everybody comfortable as soon possible.
Although pretty stiff from yesterdays
game. the Senators were out on time this
morning at the new park, but went into the
outfield for work, so not to injure the
diamond. which Groundkeeper Brown has
in fairly good condition for tomorrow.
With anything like good weather to-
morrow the indications point to tremen-
dous crowd being on hand for the opening
game with the Athletics All the boxes have
already heen sold and the sale of reserved
seats has been very brisk. Pres dent Ban
Johnson of the American League is ex-
pected and will honor the occasion if bust
ness permits Prominent people In official
life have been invited and their acceptances
received.
Before the game starts the Washington
and Athletic clubs will be paraded around
the city in carriages, headed by band.
and will doubtless attract great attention
in their snowy uniforms.
When the Sena tors march on the field the
local fans will be greeted with welcome
sight. the change of the uniforms from dark
blue to bright red trimmings. Black and
blue have been the ruling co,ors since the
American League settled in Washington,
but Mr. Dwyer recalled the uniform of the
old Nationals and lost no time in ordering
an outfit to correspond to it. There is some
thing snowy about red the ball field
and the fans will appreciate the sentiment
that fitted the Senators out in new colors
for this season.
The Athletics play the Phiilies in Philadel-
phia this afternoon and will be in splendid
shape for tomorrows game. Up to noon
Manager Kittredge had not fully decided
upon whom he would pitch, but 1t is more
than likely that Case Patten will do the
trick another left handler. "Rube Wad-
dell. will serve them up for the Quakers
Nothing had been received in the way of
news by Manager Kittredge up to noon as
to the extra outfielders needed to fill out
the team, but it is more than likely that a
couple of new men will be here by tonight
or tomorrow morning at the latest.

Georgetown Defeated by Locals With
Substitute Outfielders.

The Washington American League base
ball team put lot of their longest bats
in the sack yesterday afternoon and wan
red across Rock creek TO the George
town University field. where they pro-
ceeded to give the collegians a striking
demonstration of how professionals play
the national game. The contest was void
OF spectacular plays. the feature of the
game being the heavy batting of the
ieaguers, who secured n total OF sixteen
hits off Pitcher Titus delivery. The score
at the end of the game stood IA To ! in
favor of the Senators.

Dunkle served zip the benders. Patten was
then substituted in the box and held the
collegians down to three hits. He did not
display the wildness that characterized his
throwing the day Before. Titus stuck
pluckily at his worls on the slab for the
Georgetown team and, although he was
generous with his base hits. yet he induced
seven of the leaguers, at various times dur
ing the game to assault the atmosphere
without connecting with the leather. The
five errors made by his collea CUES did not
add to Titus effectiveness.
Washington obtained one score in the
second, and in the third they began to take
the kinks out of the Georgetown pitchers
curves. Dunkle drove a single between first
and second base, and Setback was passed
to first. Coughlin caught the ball the
nose. and sent it safely into center field,
while Dunkle scored. Cassidy then took
the stick, and made himself useful, driving
a hot one down the third base line scoring
Seltach. Stahl hit safe, and another run
was hung up for the Sena tors. Mccormick
reached the initial sack on McGettigan's
error. and the base runners each moved up
a sack. Dr1il flew out to Apperious. and
Cassidy came home. Kittredge sent Il slow

to cut off Stahl at the plate The big fellow
