LEHiGH WON FROM
GEORGE WASHINGTON

Our own boys-they of the buff and blue
of George Washington Unlversity-got what
many would deem a sufficiency when they
were defeated by Lehigh yesterday after
noon upon University Field by a score of
% to S. 1t was indeed a game of errors,
for rarely does one go to witness a base
ball game where the errors nearly leave
the teens But that is the story of the
contest yesterday afternoon, and many of
the bases gotten by the men from Lehgh
are directly credited to muffs that made
one feel that 1t would be such blessed char
ity IL some one would only send a clothes
basket TO this or that fielder with The
compliments OF the sender that he try to
scoop EN- up In seemingly more improved
fashion than he seemed to be doing
Thomas was on the rubber for George
Washington, and 1t was the opinion of the
supporters of the Buff and Blue that Capt
Bradley allowed the pitcher to stay in the
box until the game was beyond hope of re-
demption But Bradley stood by his pitch
er, and only when Thomas asked to be
relieved did he substitute Walsh, who got,
II anything, worse than his predecessor In
the matter of having his delivery batted all
over the lot, and support that Will not stand
for description. The fifth, sixth and sew

up at the finish the result OF their work
for those innings 1t shows a score of -.
In the seventh and eighth innings Lehigh
did something in the line of errors and
for a time the contest seemed likely to end
up in veritable comedy of errors" But
during those two innings, after six George
washington men had crossed the rubber,
the sons of Lehigh closed their program
and there was nothing done in the line of
misplays. The score:

Gold was the standard of value at the
rooms OF the Washington Railway Relief
Association last evening and instead of the

the 80 gold piece was more in evidence
The occasion for this display of gold was
the distribution of the prizes TO the best
bowiers in the Washington Railway Relief
Association Amateur Bowling League for
the season OF 1866
In the absence of Gen. George H. Har-
ries. president of the relief association who
was called to New York suddenly last
evening. Mr.. ]. r Moffett superintendent
OF transportation, was the master of cere-
monies In giving out the prizes. In an
nouncing the fact that all the prizes were
donated by the employing company, he
pointed out that the aim OF all the officials
of the company was to give each of It's
employees q square deal. II they had failed
to do so. 1t was not fault of the heart, he
thought.
The team honors for the season for the
twenty-four games that were played went

o'clock. the opening OF the American
League season this afternoon between the
Nationals and Athletics will be one Of the
biggest affairs on record in the matter of
attendance. When Business Manager
Fowler directed that the gates be thrown
open at 2 o'clock, there was at least a
crowd of 500 enthusiastic fans in wait
ing and from that time until the game
was called there was continuous stream
of patrons going through the entrance.
The band began playing with the opening
of the gates and this added to the excite
ment and fun. The playing field, both
inside and outside the diamond is in splen-
did shape and the players will have no
kick coming on the roughness of the
ground.
Manager Stahl called the boys together
this morning in the clubhouse and gen.
eral talk was INDUCED In. The signals were
gone over. different plays analysed, and Mr..
StahI insisted that every one should put
forth his best efforts. Hickman, Hughes.
Cross. Jones, Anderson and Patten backed
up the manager with strong words of en-
couragement, and II harmony will help a

keeper wanted to have everything In apple
pie order for the first game.
The Athletics under the guidance of Man
ager Mack. reached Washington at noon
and are registered at the Risgs. The Quak-
ers are in superb condition. their recent trip
to Atlantic City for the past week having
apparently benefited them greatly. and they
can be expected to do their best to beat the
Nationals this afternoon Manager Mack
has decided to pitch tho great Bender the
only Quaker pitcher who could stop the
New York Giants last fall and as he Is in
fine fettls the locals will probably have a
rocky road IN front OF them With the
Athletics are many Philadelphia '.rooters''
and several newspaper correspondents.
Manager Stahl was seen by a Star report
or at noon. and he said he had about decid-
cd to pitch Frank Kitson. as he was in
splendid shape. and Mac" Hayden win do

victory here, as he had been beaten earlier
in the week by Morningstar and Slosson.
Cure played a very steady game, and at
the end of the tenth inning was 249 points
ahead of Sutton, The latter is noted for
his nurse plays, and he gave a fine exhi-
biticn of nerve and skill when he made
the high run of the weeks play in his six
teenth inning, scoring 1913 points.
1t was a hard-fought uphill game on
Sutton's part, and in his twenty-second
inning he got within IL points of the leader.
But Cure had not played his half, and that
inning when he did so he added 80 to his
total. Sutton then got 10 and the French
expert ran out with an unfinished D. The

JOCKEY HILDEBRAND
NOT IN ELOPEMENT

CINCINNATI. April 14.-Sporting circles
nave been discussing for the past three
days the reported elopement of Jockey Eu-
gene flildebrand and Mrs. Joe Yeager. wife
OF the Cincinnati bookmaker, pIunger and
race horse owner. The disappearance of
the couple from Hot Springs at the same
time last week is said to be the cause of
the story. Denials have been made by all
three parties concerned that there is no
word of truth in the report Mrs Yeaeer
is supposed TO be visiting relatives near Chi
cago. Hildebrand is at Sheepshead Bay
ana Joe 1eager is at Hot Springs. Hide
brand says he did not accompany Mrs. Yea
ger to Chicago, He claims to have gone
direct to Washington from Hot Springs and
from there to New York. Yeager's state
ment Is: Mrs. Yeager is visiting relatives
near Chicago, and will join me at West
Baden next week l am at a loss to know
how such story was started, unless 1t was
from the fact that Mrs. Yeager was accom-
panied to some of the dances here last win
ter by Hildebrand"
Hildebrand is no longer under contract to
feager. He Will ride for Harry PAYNE
whitney this season. and it was through his
influence that the clever California rider
was reinstated by the Eastern Jockey Club.

The real base ball season opens today in
Washington and New York, it being the
first scheduled games of the American
League for 1906, the western teams Of the
organization playing their initial games
next week. This difference in the OPEN
ing was decided upon by President John
son OIL account of the generally cool wealth
er at this season of the year in the west,
and for time the four eastern clubs will
have the battle for the pennant all to
themselves. The American League is de-
cidedly the premier organization of the
country. and until its teams start playing
schedule games the base ball season in
this country is not believed to have gotten
under way. The Bostons meet the New
