She was one of twenty-one who were
at the nursery yesterday. Some of the
babies were there for their second day,
and three remained for the evening.
The small visitors are wonderfully good,
altho they only catch brief glimpses of
to the main building or to horticultural
hall, to see that everything is as it
should be. Miss Margaret McHugh and
Miss O'Connell have their hands full
looking after their charges who ranged
yesterday from three months old to that
many years, but they could have the
help Of several volunteer nursemaids if
they wished, as more than one little girl

the babies. Three aristocratic infants

At the nursery there are frequent in

once the center of interest. There have
been many inquiries in regard to these

wanted by a dozen childless couples
The people are not allowed to handle

AMERICANS DOWN PROVIDENCE
Laporte the Star Performer for the New
Yorks-6 10 2 the Score.

Tanned and strong looking. the New York
Americans returned from the South yester-
day and gave home rooters their first glimpse
Of them. They beat the Providence team
at American League Park by a score II 9 to
2, and without doubt are as At for the ap-
preaching race as anybody. The physical
condition Of the men to all outward appear
ances is excellent, and all hands were spry
and vigorous yesterday,
Poole, the Providence pitcher, was hit when
needed, and the game was clinched early.
The best bat work was done by Laporte,
Grifhth's find from Buffalo, who accepted
difficult chances at third base without a
bobbie, threw we'll and spanked the leather
for a single, a double and a triple. That this
man Is n prize is almost a certainty.
Without cutting loose, Chesbro held Provi-
dence 10 one hit in five innings Doc New
ton, who looks himself again, was touched for
four hits in four innings. The Doc took thin g
easy. New York's fielding was up to re-
ouirements, the misplays consisting Of FUN
bles by chase and Dougherty. and a low throw
by Elherfeld. Williams felded admirably.
In the fielding line, however, the visitors
uncovered a couple of sterling performers.
Old Steve" Brodie made sure and sensational
catches in centrefeld, and Rock at short was
not only fast but as substantial as his name.
The field was soggy and the weather damp
and chilly. The outhelters had to be careful
lest they tumble in the mire. The score:

The Rochester and Canadian yachtsmen

will be sailed next year off Charlotte. This
cup was defended by the Rochester Club

CHRISTY,S BROTHER IN STRAITS
Hank M%athewson Grllled by Manhattan
College. but Champions Win 0 to 4.

The baseball game between the New York
Nationals and Manhattan College at the
Polo Grounds yesterday might also "a
been called The Undoing OF H. Mathewson:
a Tragedy In Four Acts The brother Of
the famous Christy went In the box in the
sixth inning after the collegers had showed
themselves babes in arms before the pitching
OF Ferguson. The score then was q TO o.
The collegians took three innings to:get on to
Hanks curves and the climax Of the ira
was in the ninth inning. when they touched
him up for four runs. making the same with
FIVE hits. Up to that time they made only
one hit. Manager McGraw let the tragedy
play itself out and the curtain rang down
soon enough to put a merciful end to the
pitcher. The game ended Q TO 4 in favor Of
he champions.
Aside from the deal that Mathewson got
there was little in the contest TO satisfy the
craving OF the populace for baseball. The
New Yorks scored early and often. on Fer
guson Seton raped out a wallop good for
wo bases, but failed to touch first, 80 the bit
went for naught. That was in the first
inning. In the second Amazega made a
clean single TO right field. but died while his
team mates tried to connect with the. ball.
McGraw rang in a couple OF men for try
outs. Kennedy. who played with Rochester
last year. was put at shortstop, While Robin

Mathewson gave Conley a pass. Seton slapped
out an infield hit, taking second while the

So far es the weather has permitted them,
the baseball tea s of the National League
have rou"ded out their preparatory work
for their championship race. and to-day they
are slated to begin the long scrap for the
pennant Of 1909. Since they returned from
the South the various teams have been en-
gagged in battling with strong minor league
clubs, except those that have interleague
games on. and to-day they will buckle down
to real business. They have had a good deal
of practice. though not as much as they would
like TO have had. some idea OF the wheat as
distin guished from the chat has been formed
by the managers, and each will present to-day
what 1t considers its strong est array.
1t Is pleasing and reassuring to New York
cranks to note that In the exhibition games
the worlds champions have made a better
showing than any OF their ! ague mates.
The New Yorks have won nearly all OF their
exhibition games decisively and by big scores.
1t Is predicted that the New Yorks VIII have
hlrder work to win the pennant than In the
last two years, This ppears to be the case,
but the spring work OF the New Yorks indi-
Gates that they can go etll faster than they
have done If the pace becomes hotter. In
esprit de corps and all around playing strength
McGraw's puissant team once again presents
a formidable front.
The New Yorks will go to Philadelphia
to-day TO open the season against Duhy's
Philadelphians, but his community will not
be without en- opening. Over. at Washing
ton Park, Brooklyn, the Brooklyns and Bos-
tons will olinch in the initial tussle.. The
ceremonies across the Bridge will be in keep
ing with the occasion. With a new manager
