HILL UNDERGOING REST CURE

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. March
23-As the Senators strolled into the bali
park at 10 o'clock this morning the sun
broke through the clouds: the first time
ii has made its appearance since Mon
Gay.
1t is true that no rain has fallen since
Monday morning, and that the PLAYERS
have not been Kept indoors but the
practice has not been satisfactory The
pitchers are afraid to give their wings
two much liberty and the fieiders are
field, with the risk Of spraining an
ankle and being put out of the game
for weeks to come.
Crack Battery.
Patten and Kittredge were the first
to reach the grounds today and began
warming up at once. Patten has taken
excellent care of himself and is appar-
emily in splendid condition.
Townsend says he never felt better in
his life, and that he is In as good con-
dition now as he was last June.
Jacobsen Is working hard every day
In tossing them over this morning he
showed splendid control.
Hill is still at the University Hospital
where he is undergoing the rest" cure
Trainer Quirk says he is receiving every
attention possible there. and that his
tom ligament will soon be healed.
Cassidy Recovered.
Shortstop Cassidy reported with the
squad today, but did not exert himself
to any extent To all appearances, he
seems to have entirely recovered from
his attack of lumbago.
Some little batting practice was in
dulged In this morning. Wolfe doing
most of the tossing. Bunting was tried
to some extent.
Coach Nalle. of the varsity nine, is
disposed to let his wards take a rest
this afternoon. and 1t is possible that
no game will be played with Washing
ton today In that case the regulars
and Yanigans may get together for, a
five-inning contest, provided the sun
stays out and the atmosphere becomes
a, little dry.
With Patten and Wolfe tossing them
over, Washington found little difficulty
yesterday afternoon in whitewashing
the collegians, the final score being 8
to O.
Marked improvement was shown by
the Senators in every department of the
game-and the contest afforded the play
ers the best practice they have had
sirce they landed In Charlottesville
poor work of the college boys, but the
snappy playing of the Senators that
won the game. Neither Patten nor
Wolfe exerted himself in the least, for
each was instructed to allo'- the bats
men to connect with the ball in order
TO give the fielders the Yluch desired
practice.
Knoll's Clever Fielding.
In fielding, Knoll carried off the hon
ors at short. He proved worthy of Cas-
sidy's shoes, and was thrown bouquets
by Manager Stahl and the extras" who
sat on the players bench.
Mullen. Knoll, and Stahi got of a
lightning double, which prevented the
college boys from scoring. as the run
ner who was on third had crossed the
home plate before the play was COM
pleted.
Shaughnessy did some little batting
To sfgnalize his being placed second on
the batting list. Three singles. a sac
rifice, and a strike-out ont of five times
up was his record. Centerfielder Jones
got in two nice drives.
Jacobsen. in the role of umpire
proved a worthy successor to pinch
Hobbs" Kittredge, who has a record
OF thirty-two times around the running
track In the university gymnasium
without stopping for a good breath.
