F FAhOUS EXPERTS
FOR ANALOSTAN
Champion Trap Shots to
Visit Club.

A squad of expert trap shots will visit
this city and give an exhibition under
the tuspices of the A.alcs.an Gun Club,
on April 10.
While the entire squad has made
records of which anyone would be proud.
three of them hold records never eQualed
by any others.
The first is Thomas A. Marshall, more
Familiarity called Captain Tom, be-
cause he captained the AIl-American
te.s m that made tour through England,
Scotland and Wales a few years since
This team met and defeated all comers,
never losing a match. Mr.. Marshall has
the honor of winning the Grand Amerl-
can Handicap twice, something never
done nv anyone else He was also cap
tain of the squad which during the
southern trip in 1904 broke the worlds
7so,,ad record by breaking ASS out of 500
targets. He is also captain OF the pres
ent SQUAD. He was mayor Of Keiths-
burg. H.. for seventeen years, and
would be today were ne to stay at home
long enough to be elected.
Holds Many Records.
Next comes r o. Heikes, one of the
eldest and best trap shots that ever
pulled a trigger. He holds more RECORDS
than any other man in the shootlng
world. His position at the trap Is con-
sidered perfect, and while many try TO
initiate him, few succeed. Mr.. He1kes
is Familiarity called ''The- Daddy of them
au' He owns one of the finest resi-
dences in Dayton, Ohio, and also owns
a quarter section ranch in Texas, well
stocked with long-horned cattle; but 1t
is safe to say that Rolla knows more
about quail than the cattle on the
ranch.
Next comes one of the youngest but
one of the greatest, if not the greatest
shot in the world-a man who mig nj
be said TO be in a class by himself-W.
II. Beer, of Kansas, the man who. few
weeks since made the longest tourna-
ment run on record-307 straight. Dur

MORNING WORK
FOR NATIONALS
Manager Stahl Had Local
Players Out.

Inc seventeen young men who are to
uphold the honor and glory OF the Ma
tfonal Capital in the American League
during the coming season had their first
practice in their lair this morning.
AS early as $50 some of the Nationals
were out at the park cavorting about,
and at 10, the time set by Manager
Captain-First Baseman Stahl, all hands
were on deck getting into condition for
this afternoons debut with the Fourth
Presbyterian team.
The full squad returned from Char
lottesville late yesterday afternoon, and
Prof. Quirk reported that all were in
good condition
This mornings work consisted prin-
cipally of batting practice and loosening
UP by trotting around the bases after
swatting the ball to the outer gardens.
which were guarded by an army of
future greats. Case Patten, the willing
worker, was the first of the pitchers to
go on the firing line, and after half an
hours work he was relieved by Bill
Wolfe.
All the other members, of the squad
batted in regular turn in the order called
by Long Tom Hughes. who was self
constituted keeper-in-line" and who
protested strongly against a man run
ming in from the field and taking his
''raps" without getting in line.
Improvements at Park.
Many are the improvements that have
been made in the grounds during the
last two months under the direction of
Admiral Brown. First of all, the park
has been renamed, and instead of the
ordinary swing gates. a pretentious en-
trance, fttingly painted In Ireland's hue.
has been erected, also a carriage and
grandstand and bleacher gates. All the
grandstand has received a coat of dark
green, while the fences, which have been
repaired extensively, have been painted
white on both sides.
This gives the park a much natter APP
pearance.
The playing field, according TO Man
| ager Stahl, is in ps fine condition as any
field on the cirtuit. The outfield has
been graded and is smoother than il
was last season, while the infleld flooks
to be perfect.
The game this afternoon will be called
at 4:15. Manager Stahl has decided to
| pitch Hughes the first four or five in
nings and then work in one of the other
twirlers for the latter half of the game.
Hayden will probably CATCH while
| Stahi will play first, with Mullin on
second. At shortstop Joe Cassidy will
chop down the hits OF the Presbyterian
| siuggers. and Hunter Hill Will hold
| down third.

Saturday morning, and came out of the

vented him from getting some of the
soft semi-hoiiday crowd money.
He was go badly bunged up that he
did not feel able to do business, but
went TO the track expecting to look on.
He looked on for three races and could
stand It no longer. He had number one
stand, the best in the ring and when he
saw the soft money going on In punches
he forgot his acres and pains, collected
his crew and went to work for the
winner, bigger by all cd Is than if he

The news of the death OF Jockey OTTO
Wonderly was heard with much regret
by the horsemen and racegoers.
Wonderly died at a hospital in Mem
phis last night from injuries ne received
at the track Saturday morning, when
horse he was exercising fell with MIN
rendering him unconscious. He never re-
gained consciousness and expired before
his family. which had been notified or
his serious condition, could reach Mem
phis
Wonderly's home was at London. on
tario. and he was a newsboy on the
Grand Trunk Railway when he took
fancy for race riding. He was fairly
successful from the beginning, coming
to the New York track after a season
or two on the Northern Circuit Inere
he attracted the attention OF the iate
Charles Littlefields jr.s then trainer Iof
James B. Haggins, and was signed 10
ride for the milliCnaire breeQer anu
owner. He was fairly suecesslui In the
Haggin colors. but the contract was not
renewed and after riding as a Tree idnce
for a season, Wonderly signed win ehe
Chicago firm of Tichenor & Co. For the
last two seasons he has ridden as q Tree
lance. except for engagements he might
make for certain meetings. j. E. Sea-
gram, the Canadian owner, thought
highly of Wonderly and invariably en-
gagged him for the Toronto meetings,
where the Canadians always put their
best foot foremost He rode here last
fall for Mr. Seagram. He spent the WIN
ter at New Orleans and Hot springs
and it is claimed that he had never nd
den so well as at the He. Springs meet
ing. From there he went to Memphis TO
ride during the meeting for John Schorr.
Wonderly was fairly well educated,
neat dresser, quiet in manner, very gen.
tlemai,ly, and was we'll liked by all he
made considerable money, and Is said
to have saved some of it. His chief
diversion was playing billiards and pool,
and he was one OF the best players in
the big golf pool game that went on
nightly at the Arlington Hotel, Hot
Springs He was a bosora friend OF John
McGraw, the bah player, and McGraw
made a great deal Of Eioney backing
Wonderly's mounts.
He is the second rider of prominence
to meet a violent death in the last two
weeks Charlie McCaiferty was killed
in much the same way at New Orleans
few days ago.
Another promising rider to meet q like
fate was Eddie Wenrick, one OF the
most promising apprentices in the coun-
try, who was killed at Hot Springs six
weeks ago. The 1905 season, although
young. is thus marked with three ia
tanties in the ranks of the riders.

Last spring Ryan was something of a
figure here. He had a pretty shif..y
stable OF horses at the track, and ma de
his presence felt in the ring on more
than one occasion. A sixty horsepower
auto was putting up and down the prin-
ciyal avenues when not standing IN
front of the Willard awaiting the pleas
ure of it's owner. Ryan was summoned
to 81. Louis during the middle of the
season TO answer an old get-rich-quick
charge. but faced the music without
trey1or and come off victorious
It was at Brighton Beach that the St.
Louis officer served a warrant on Ryan
"AlI right" said the plunser, I'll go
with you, but wait until after this race,

The officer waited and saw Ryan S
commissioners cash in more money than
ne had ever seen before at one time.
Ryan was then ready to obey the sum-
mons of the officer, but for some reason
the trip TO St. Louis was delayed a few
days During that time Ryan gave the
detective tins time of his life The Of

According to published statements

Rapid is said to be chock full of railroad
men. landseekers, investors, and specu

town unoccupied. Pierre is rapidly
reaching the same condition, though
Rapid got the earlier start.
In this city the side tracks are all
standing full OF long lines of cars,
which are begging unloaded as fast as
possible by gangs of several hundred
workmen. New sidings are also being
put in, several engines are pulling the
trains of cars around and working
night and day, and everything possible
is being done to get ready for the big
work to be done this winter and next
spring. A trip from the freight depot
to the stock yards will open ones eyes
