this week. His supervision of the players
has been most careful.
The twirlers have saved their arms and
are In splendid shape All FIVE of them
warmed up for quarter OF an hour this
morning. and then took a turn at bat with
the rest of the men. The infeld practice
was light. as Ii Is yet quite slippery along
the base lines. Joe Cassidy, who was suf-
fering from a cold yesterday, was back at
his old place at shortstop but did not exert
himself too freely.
Hunter Hill is expected to leave the hos
pitaI tomorrow or next day. His torn liga-
ments are healing slowly. He is anxious to
get out with the rest of the boys. Manager
Stahl may not let him get back in harness
until the first of next week.
Along with the batting practice this MORN
ing opportunity was afforded for trying the
hit-and-run game. Wolfe and Townsend
did most of the twirling. but as they simply
lobbed them over the sphere was sent far to
the outfield.
The university team is DESTROYS of prac-
ticing alone this afternoon, as they want 10
perfect few signals in order to get IN
shape for the first big game of the college
season. the contest with West Virginia Uni,
versity. on Saturday. If this idea Is carried
out a third game between the Regulars anu
Yanigans may be pulled or.
The Game Yesterday.
The third game between the Senator'S and
the varsity nine. played yesterday after-
n Jon, proved the best of those played thus
far. notwithstanding the one-sidedness OF
tae score. to 0. Three times the coiieg1ans
had an opportunity to tally, but fast in
field work would retire the side. The APP
plsuse among the college boys would just
be beginning when play would occur
which would cut 1t short.
The lack of interest which the men lis
played in Tuesdays contest was conspic-
uously absent when yesterdays game was
ca.lec by Umpire Jacobsen at 3:4o o Clock
Captain Stahl was out on the coaching line
ana all the players put life into their work.
whether at bat or in field.
The bombardment opened up In the sec
ond inning. Coach Male of the varsity
nine trotted out as his first twirler Pol
lard. whose abilities as a pitcher were d.s-
covered by AL Orth, who coached tn, VIZ
gipia nine last spring. Like his preceosor.
Pollard has few curves, relying manly
upon his speed. This was just to the l1k-
ing of the professionals Hue1Sman sent a
long one to center which Springer got UNI
der Graham, the varsity second BASE
man who started the triple in last fridays
game, allowed Mullen'S grounder to escape
him. Mullen pilfered second. galloped to
third on Nils nice bingle and tailed on
KnGrs out. Mil scored on Whites error.
Hey don was caught off of first by pollard.
In the third Jones walked and went to
third on Shaughnessy's clean drive, which.
but for a remarkably quick return, would
have been good for two bases. StahS long
fly to Springer afforded the opportunity for
Jones to count.
Another run was added in the fourth
Mullen beat out a neat bunt and raced
around to third on Warren's wild throw to
the initial bag, scoring moment later on
knoll's single to right field.
In the fifth Jones was safe on Graham's
error 0utfelder Shaughnessy dropped a
small one down the third base line and
showed the spectators how fast a big man
could run when the occasion demanded 1t.
He and Jones advanced base on Stahl's
fly and the latter scored on a felder's
choice
With the game cinched the Sena tors then
took rest until the final inning, when
nearly every man in the batting list took a
turn with the willow. Kittredge was given
a life by JOneS'S error. went to second on
drove long liner over second, which Pol
lard gathered up and got back to the home
plate in time to head off Kittredge, who,
for lack of coaching, was taking his time
Jones came to the rescue with safe drive
to right field and he and Wolfe crossed the
home plate on Sehaughnessy's pop fly
back of third base. Stahl sacrificed
Schaughnessy to second. Huelsman walked
and both counted on Pollard's failure to
properly judge Mullen's long fly to deep
center.
The feature of Washington's batting was
the showing made by Outfielder Shaugh-
messy, who got three clean hits and a sacri-
flee out of five times up. Jones came next,
with two nice drives.
Knoll officiated in Joe Cassidy's stead at
short and by his clever work called forth
public praise from Manager Stahl more than
once. He first came into the nmelight by
pulling down an apparently safe drive away
over his head Then he scraped them UP
out of the mud and shot them across to
Stahl like steam engine. Besides he had
to cover second as frequently as did Null
len. All in all, he had fourteen chances.
Twelve he accepted, while the two he missed
We're excusable and of no consequence.
With two out in the third inning and a
runner on first and third. Heydon threw to
Knoll, who made a lightning return, catch
ing the runner at the home plate. Mullen.
Knoll and Stahl engineered double play
which kept the collegians from breaking the
