Several Hours of Practice.

At the American League park this morn
ing many Of the players were on hand early
and, with the warm sunshine beating down.
they jumped into their playing togs for sew
eral hours of good practice. Bill Coughlin
guarded third base as If 1t were the middle
of the season. while Barry Mccormick at
second let nothing get by him. The work
considerable interest, and several hundred
fans present were not bit backward in
expressing the opinion that he would do.
Wyatt Lee. Case Patten and AL Selbach
were as lively as crickets. and the trio ap-
peared to be in unusually good shape.
Pitcher Mason limbered up a little. tossing
the balls to the batters, but refused to let
himself out, demonstrating that he knows
a thing or two as to spring training. Jack
Townsend and Shortstop Cassidy were the
absentees, but their hard work yesterday
afternoon doubtless made them pull up un-
til the regular workout this afternoon. A
continuation of the present weather will
quickly put everybody in good shape for
the opening of the season.
No new players reported to Manager Lof
tus this morning. Kittredge telegraphed for
permission to stay few days longer, as he
was training team in the east, and as 1t
will place him In good condition he was
allowed to stay. Nothing has been heard
from Winters, but he Is liable to drop in
at any time. The regular morning and aft
ernoon practice will be gone through with
daily until the opening Of the season, and
Manager LOTUS is confident that every
thing will be in shipshape condition for
the opening day.

Grounds in Excellent Condition.

Manager Lotus. in company with a re-
porter of The Star, visited the Ith street
grounds this morning, and they We're found
to be In excellent condition. Mr.. Lotus
was particularly pleased with the playing
field, and said that very little work would
be necessary to place In prime condi-
ton for play. He said, If necessary. the
grand stand could be pushed back to the
fence a distance of fully fifty feet from
the old site, and in this way the playing
field would be enlarged materially The
fence running along left field can still be
used, but the boards in center and right
have all been carried Off for kindling
wood. Taking the park as whole Man
ager Lotus expressed the opinion that II
could be put In readiness by the opening
of the season.
1t was fully expected that Contractor
Hanvey would start the work of building
fences and bleachers this morning, but the
permit to build was held up in the District
building on account of several protests by
property owners adjacent to the park.
These objectors have filed their protests
with the Commissioners. and hearing in
the matter will be had this afternoon.

Another pleasing innovation was the ae-
quirement Of the old park at the head OF
7th street, and this new home for the Sen
ators was discussed almost as much as the
change in ownership. Without spade be-
ing turned or a nail driven, fully two hun
dred fans gathered at the prospective
home of the Senator'S this morning In ex-
pectation of seeing the first work done.
While they were disappointed In this re-

TWO OFFICIAL BODIES

The published correspondence between
Mr.. Reginald De Koven, leader OF the
Washington Symphony Orchestra, ana
Rev. Drs. McKim and Harding of this
city, regarding the formers Sunday everf-
ing concerts, now being given In Chases 8
Theater, has given rise to much general
discussion and the expression Of many
opinions for and against. There are those
who firmly believe that any sort Of Sun
day concert should be abolished; others
who think there Is a marked difference be-
tween secular and sacred music, which, II
such distinction is made and the latter
class only rendered, the concerts would be
proper; and still others who believe the
playing OF music of any kind Sunday,
granting it be good music, can be given
with benefit.
Apropos Of this discussion the following
statement of the views of the archdeaconry
Of Washington is given:
In consequence of the publication OF the
correspondence between Rev. Drs. McKim
and Harding and this management of the
Symphony Society, on the subject OF Sun
day concerts, the Venerable Richard r.
called a special meeting of the arch
deaconry Tuesday, March q, which was
largely attended. Right Rev. Henry Y.
Satterlee bishop of Washington, presided,
and the archdeacon acted secretary.
After brief explanation of the purpose
of the call a resolution was unanimously
carried, to the effect that 1.-The members
of this archdeaeonry. both clerical and lay,
hereby heartily indorse the position taken
by our brethren, Rev. DR.. McKim and Rev.
DR.. Harding, in their correspondence with
the management of the Symphony Society,
and express their sympathy with every ef-
fort in opposition to the secularzation of
the Lords day; and that they will. both
individually and as body, exert all their
influence in support of the attitude as
sumed by their brethren in this matter. and
that the resolution be published over the
and the secretary of the archdeaconry, to-
gether with such other related matter as
may be in hand"
