Base Ball Notes.

The Nationals are back in the first coll
umn, a position won away from home
Somewhat unusual.
Mr.. Alfred Jacobsen Will try to puzzle the
Highlanders today, and perhaps the great
Chesbro will work against him.
Center Fielder Jones worked in two hits
yesterday, and e local fans need not
lose any sleep over this young man. He'll
take care of himself.
The Nationals played an errorless game
yesterday. which is something remarkable
on account of strange grounds.
Case Patten was hit pretty hard, but
when the Highlanders got runners on the
bases the blonde-haired boy buckled down
to work and the much-wanted hit was not
forthcoming.
Jack Carr. the Northeast boy, hammered
out triple and two singles in the opening
game at Indianapolis.
Already there have been eight shut-outs
in the American League and seven in the
National.
If the season proves to be as successful
as it has been strenuous thus far no one
will have a kick coming.
The st. Louis Browns are hitting up
pretty fast clip, and seem to have picked
up some good new material.
The Colegians' would be a good name
for the Athletics. There are eight of them
on Connie Mack's team.
Willie Keller sported a Harvard jersey
yesterday. Willie coaches Harvard. and If
the Crimson wins the championship this
year he will be entitled to a degree.
Chase, GriffithS new first sacker, must
get his name from what his wild throws
make the outfielders do.
The team, like the man, always rises to
the occasion. Brooklyn will furnish the
funny paragraphs that Washington supplied
last year.
It's never safe to leave the Athletic
grounds till the game is over. Macks men
don't begin TO play till the last inning is
on.
Young Cassidy struck belligerent atti
tude toward Williams yesterday when the
latter retired him at first on sacrifice,
and Connolly ran over to see that the peace
| was not disturbed.-New York Sun.
The fact that Hanlon's salary cut
| is about all that keeps EbbetS from having
| him arrested for getting money under false
pretenSeS
Cy Young says they simply cannot hit the
| spit ball. By they the veteran finger
| does not mean the Athletics who ironed
| out thirteen of Chesbro's damp ones
| Wouldn't it be a shame If the Nationals
should fall out of bed and wake themselves
up? That dream about being permanently
divorced from the bottom is almost too
| good to be true.
Ban Johnson was again an interested
spectator. He left tonight for New York
| He thinks that Boston has struck its stride
and will fool any of them from this out
| The showing of Washington and Detroit
tickled him vastly.-Boston Herald.
For his wanton cowardly attack On
Catcher Abbott at Philadelphia on Satur
! day. Captain McGann has been suspended
until May , and fined 800. Because, after
being smitten on the right cheek, he re-
| fused to permit McGann to have a hack at
his left Abbott has been suspended until
| the 2Sth instant and mulcted to the extent
| of $50.
| One of the prettiest triple plays on rec
| ord was made by the lightning Washington
| nfield. almost before the spectators We're
aware that it had been started This little
| piece of snappy work alone explains why
| this push under Stahl won three straight
| from the worlds champion Bostons = New
York Telegraph.
