NATIONALS RETURN HOME.
In Fine Shape for Opening Game This
Afternoon.

The Washington base ball club. headed by
Manager Stahl, reached home Yesterday
afternoon at clock, coming direct from
Charlottesville. having boarded the cars at
the latter place at noon. Everybody in the
crowd was in almost perfect condition. Out
fielder Cassaday being about the only one
who had a complaint coming, and that from
a slight attack Of the grip, which Trainer
Quirk said would be all gone by today. AS
the boys gathered in the rotunda of the
Riggs House last evening many visitors
dropped in to bid them welcome home and
witness for themselves how the training
season had benefited them.
Manager Stahl. in discussing the team.
confined himself to saying that the bows
were in excellent condition. but in PLAYING
ability would not individualize. He said he
looked for the boys TO do some wonderful
fielding at the home grounds as the field at
Charlottesville is rough, but notwithstand-
ing this handicap the fielding was at all
times high class. On the almost perfect
diamond at American League Park Hill.
Cassidy and Mullin will probably be burn
ing things up this afternoon In the initial
game with the Fourth Presbyterian boys.
Pitcher Tom Hughes was the life Of the
party. There Is not the slightest sign of
soreness over the Boston deal falling
through, and the tall twirler. In the most
emphati tic terms, told group OF listeners
last evening that he would sooner play In
Washington than any city in the country.
Hughes has rounded in splendid shape and
will doubtless be n tower OF strength TO the
Nationals this season.
Although Manager Stahl would not COM
nit himself as 10 the permanent lineup of
the team, IL Is more than likely that Mullin
will be the regular man at second, with
Nil playing utility roles. The little fellow
has been tried at the three different posi-
lions, second, third and short, and in every

GOOD GAME PROMISED.
George Washington Boys Play Penn
sylvania State Tomorrow.

Tomorrow afternoon the George WASH
fngton University base ball team will cross
bats with the strong aggregation from
Pennsylvania State College, and the best
game yet played on University Field is ex-
pected. Pennsylvania State College has an
unusually strong team this year, and the
Buff and Blue athletes realize that they Will
have to play their best to win, but are con-
fident of winning their first victory. Every
man on the team is anxious to make up for
the defeat suffered at the hands of Villa
nova. and it is foregone conclusion that
a splendid contest will be witnessed to-
morrow afternoon.
DR.. Harry White, to whose coaching the
ton of the team, will put the boys through
a special practice this afternoon in prepa-
ration for the game tomorrow. The team
signals will be gone over until there is no
chance for Slip-up tomorrow.
The infield is showing better form than
in Fridays game with the Pennsylvanians,
and after today's practice little worry need
be had over the work of Orrison, Bielaski,
Van Fliet and Weber.
Holland will probably pitch tomorrow,
with Thomas to fall back upon in case of
emergency. Hutchinson will be saved for
the game with the Nationals Wednesday.
Both Holland and Thomas are in fine condi-
ton, and either one should prove a STUN
bling block to Pennsylvania State. Hutch
inson'S south paw is fast rounding into
shape. The "kink'' has disappeared. and
from now on the little twirler will be able
to pitch his best.
George Washington will line I'D tomor-
row as follows: Price, center field; Bradley,
catcher; Stevenson, right field; Bielaski
short stop; Weber, first base; Mcmahon
left base; Orrison. third base Van Vliet.
second base: Holland and Thomas, pitchers
The game will be called promptly at 4:3O
o'clock.

ToDAY'S COLLEGE GAME
Georgetown Plays Lafayette at Varsity
Grounds.

F'rensh from its victory over North
Carolina. the strong aggregation which
two years ago overwhelmed the fast
Georgetown team by a score of 13 to g.
and last year gave it a bad scare and
with the additional laurels of its recent
victory over Virginia, Lafayette will cross
bats this afternoon at 4:15 with George
town.
Although Georgetown has not made such
easy work of the minor teams thus far en-
countered, 1t has strong team not
withstanding. and from present indica TONS
as the season advances, will have one of
the heaviest hitting teams in the east The
team work is good and the base running
and manifestations of the inside KNOW
edge of the game is remarkable for such
young crowd of ball players. The pitching
in the foregoing games has not been what
1t might be, but the season is young yet
and much depends on the weather White
is said to be a hot-weather man, and a
great deal is expected of him in the later
season. He has good curves, speed and
control. but the power to get all three to-
gether has been, as yet beyond him; but
it is apparent that he has not let himself
out, and there is lot of good in him yet
to be realized. In Saturdays game White
pitched we'll with the exception of one or
two innings. He showed himself quite
handy with a bat. Besides two singles, ne
drove out a three-bagger, bringing in two
runs.
Smith who has been improving every
game, showed up surprisingly well also.
with a long line of assists, put-outS and
stolen bases to his credit. He made two
clean singles and long drive in deep left
for three bases. The playing of this young
collegian is the tai kof the fans" Aver,
who has proved himself steady man in
the box, will pitch for Georgetown. From
the comparison of the respective howings
of the teams, it is evident that Lafayette
will be hard proposition for the locals.

MOTOR CYCLE RECORD.
Harry Park Set UP New Figures Be
tween This City and Baltimore.

Harry Park of this city established a
motor cycle record between Washington and
Baltimore yesterday morning. riding the
distance between the two cities in l hour
and 40 minutes. After rest of ten minutes
in Baltimore the return trip was made over
the same route in l hour and At minutes.
The time is considered very fast, and the
record is liable TO stand for some time to
come.
The start was made at o'clock yesterday
morning from 18th and II streets northeast,
with excellent weather conditions prevail
ing. The route was over what is known as
the Bladensburg turnpike, which was found
in places to be in a wretched condition.
This was especially true at Murkirk, Md,
where new Stag had been thrown on the
road.
Park made three dismounts on the trip to
Baltimore and four on the return trip The
finishing line was at Gwynn's falls, Column
bia avenue, Baltimore. About nine miles
from the finish Park lost five minutes in
regulating the spark device of his machine
On two other occasions during the trip the
rider lost time by horses being frightened at
the "snortng" machine, and it was neces-
sary to turn off, the power and pedal a
considerable distance in order to prevent
serious runaways. When the rough road
was reached at Murkirk Park turned the
| lever on and ran the machine at full speed
| through the new metal, the speed being SO
great at times as to cause the machine to
jump from side of the road to the
other. When good stretches were reached
and in going down grade the rider ran the
machine at full speed, at times covering the
ground at the rate of nearly a mile a min
ute.
| About five miles the other side of Laurel
| the famous sand patch was encountered
and, as has been the case with all other
| record-breakers over this portion of the
road, he showed the machine through the
! entire distance. With the exception of sew
eral attacks of cramps to the muscles on
| both trips Park returned in excellent con-
dtion. At Baltimore he received a new sup
! ply of gasoline. and after ten-minute rest
| resumed his homeward trip.
Park at one time held the paced record be-
| tween the two cities on a bicycle of 2.0435,
| rider to 2.03.i6 He Is the present holder of
| dem route was established about five years
route by Edward s. Byrnes and Howard
| Fisk of this city, who covered the distance
| of forty miles in hours and 50 minutes
| from the city hall in Baltimore to the Unit
| ed States Capitol The boundary to- boun-
| dairy record, held by the same riders was
4 covered in hours and 20 minutes, both of
| which records are still standing
The time between some of the towns en-
route made by Park yesterday is as follows:
| Hyattsville, IL minutes: Beltsyille, 80 min
utes; Laurel, 46 minutes; Elkridge / hour
| and 20 minutes, and Baltimore, l hour and
/ 40 minutes.

services will come in very handy during the

of the regular infeiders. The outheld VIII

and Cassaday, and from the form shown

Catcher Kittredge left Charlottesville
Saturday night and 1t is said that he was
afraid to ride with the other members OF
the team on account of his work as an
umpire during the recent games at the
Virginia University Tom Hughes ana
Frank Huelsman threatened to throw him
off the train If he was located, and Kit"
said he was not taking any chances. AS
Hughes was on one team and Hueisman
on another 1t can be readily seen that an
umpire's berth is not an easy one. Kit
tredge has taken off fully fifteen pounds and
really looks like Splinter
Pitcher Jacobsen took a fancy to setter
at Charlottesville, and, after half-hour
dicker with the owner, purchased the
animal and brought him along home as
a mascot. Jake" nicknamed him Duff"
and he will be quartered at the club house
during the season. Next fall the dog will
be taken out west with Jacobsen and 1t Is
expected that he will run all the rabbits out
of Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, the states of
the Three | League.
The Nationals gathered at American
League Park this morning but no practice
was gone through with, the boys contenting
themselves with drawing their lockers IN
the club house and going over the grounds
to inspect the improvements. The new field
came in for q great amount of praise, the
in and out fields having been rolled down
to a perfect level. Several of the twirlers
went in the box to see how it looked from
the level instead of being on hill, and
every one expressed the belief that 1t VIII
make considerable difference in the effec-
tiveness of many of the American League
pitchers.
In the game this afternoon, Manager
Stahl will probably work Patten, Hughes
of TnUngnO6
take care of the George Washington boys
on Wednesday.
