St. Stephens Defeats aallaudet.

In a fast and interesting game the st.
Stephens Club of the Sunday School League
defeated Gallaudet College on the latters
campus at Kendall Green Wednesday after
noon by the score of to 1. The st. Ste
phens, although minus the services of
Thomas and Mcdonald, put up a splendid
game. the error column being spotless and
hits coming at opportune times. The Ken
dali Green boys also put up fine article of
ball, but could not connect safely on Bar
rett's benders when hits meant runs. Bar
rett had his opponents at his mercy
throughout the game, keeping the hits well
scattered. Hayden caught his usual good
game, the mutes not even attempting to
pilfer bases on him. Although team work
has not as yet been fully developed. st.
Stephens indeld should prove to be a strong
one in the coming Sunday school games.
Meunier pitched a creditable game. Hunter
covered lots Of ground around short field,
and Leitch made several pretty catches in
right field for the mutes. The batting honors
went to Hayden and Hunter, each con-
Meeting for three safe drives.

PUZZLE PLAY.
Two Runs Scored With No Out, Assist
or Error,

Two Runs Scored With No Out, Assist
or Error.
Here is the latest base ball puzzle for the
interested fan:
Two teams. A and B. are playing A is at
the bat In the last half of the ninth inning.
The score is 5 to 4 In favor of B. Two men
are out, a man on second and another on
third. The batter hits the ball into fair ter
ritory, but 1t is not hit. There is no put
out, no base runner hit by batted ball, no
assist or no error. and yet A wins the game
by score Of to B. What was the play?
There were two men out and runners on
second and third bases when the batter hit
grounder to the shortstop. Instead of
throwing to first base and making sure of
his man the shortstop exercised his option
of a tielders choice and took chances on a
shorter throw of catching the runner going
from third to home. The pickup was clean
and the throw perfect, but the runner had
obtained a good start and beat the bali to
the plate. The batSman, observing the play,
turned first base and kept on running for
second to draw throw from the catcher.
Meantime the runner on second had gone to
third and when the catcher threw down to
second he made a dash for home. The run
her between first and second stopped so as
to prevent the second batsman from touch
ing him, and before the latter could return
the ball to the catcher the second runner
had also scored. The pickup was clean and
all the throws were perfect, so that there
was no error, yet there was no hit, no run
ner hit by batted ball. no putout and no as
sist, and the ball was hit into fair territory.
Under the scoring rules. while the Short
stop was guilty of a technical error of judg
ment in throwing to the wrong base, he
could not be charged with an error, but the
play had to be credited as a fielder's choice.

GREAT OPENING PROMISED.
With Good Weather Record Crowd Will
See Nationals Start Season.

If the sun shines tomorrow one of the
largest crowds ever seen at a ball game
in this city will assuredly assemble at
American League Park in the afternoon to
witness the opening contest of the season
between the Nationals and New York
Highlanders. The local fans have been
on edge for the past week In anticipation
of the opening of the season, and there
will be thousands at the game who have
not seen base ball contest for Yeas on
account of the past mismanagement The
enterprise and energy displayed by the new
owners of the Washington club has stirred
up all the old time followers of the game,
and they will join with the youngsters in
giving the Nationals one of the greatest
send-offs on record.
American League Park can accommodate
from 5000 to 1900 spectators in comfort but
preparations have been made to take care
OF at least 1900 without interfering with
everybody enjoying the game. Three-base
hits will probably be cut out of the contest
entirely, two bases being allowed on hits
into the crowd, and ball hit out of the lot
will go for a home run. Ropes will be
stretched from the right to the left field
bleacher seats. but this Enclosure will give
the players ample room to work Haley's
band will give a concert from 2 o'clock until
the starting of the game, and the parade in
carriages will be eliminated.

Grifith's task Is no easy one. He must

Yeager has made himself secure in his role
of utility man by his clever batting and
fielding stunts. The outfield. then, must
furnish another victim. 1t Is up to John
Anderson and Davy Fultz. Both OF these
men are first class, and IT seems like folly
to release either. At present Anderson has

Under certain conditions the spit ball
will b q balk In the National League this
year. President Pulliam has no objections
to the spit ball in itself-thouEh he does not
fancy the name--but he thinks there Is such
a thing as using II In q manner not entirely
consistent with the requirements OF good
taste. He has Instructed his ump5res to
see that pitchers do not mOisten the ball In
an destinations, Questionable manner, for
instance with the bali a foot or 80 away
from the mouth In one hand and deliberate
ly wetting the fingers of the other hand
after the manner of a man licking a post
age stamp. A ba1k will be called on every
pitcher so doing, provided, of course, there
Is somebody on base.
There is no objection to pitcher apply
ing saliva to the ball If he does 1t in an In
conspicuous manner. Chesbro, the best OF
all spit-ball pitchers, vets the ball In such
a way as not to attract any attention and
in a way entirely free from coarseness.
Both hands are held Gloss to the face, ana

reorganized last summer. The purchase
