Sysonby Out of Carter.

NEW YORK. April 5.-sysonby. James
R. Keene's great four-year- has been
declared out OF the Carter handicap, the
feature OF the opening day Of the Queens
County Jockey Clubs spring meeting at
Aqueduct on April 49,
Seventeen other horses were also de-
clared up to yesterday. including Delhi,
Hamburg Belle, Cairngorm, Tradition,
Lady Amelia. Prince Hamburg, Biandy.
Merry Lark, Aaron j.. Aeronaut, Mount
Henry, Disobedient. SPEAKERS, Aucassin,
ISRAELI, Belle of Pequest and Inquisitor
The declaration Of Sysonby was expected,
as 1t Is much too early to prepare a horse
of his class for hard race with q big
weight up. and most of the others were
withdrawn for the same reason. fhe
Carter handicap has guaranteed value of
$4,000 this year, and Is well worth striving
for, but 1t must necessarily be confined
to horses that are not in the top class,
run as 1t is in the middle OF April. The
field will be a good one however, in spite
of the declarations made.

FIRST HARD
GAME FOR NATIONALS

The Nationals were out for their usual
practice this morning and got in a good
two hours workout. Lave Cross worked
with the boys, Notwithstanding his sore
hand, and he says he will be In fair shape
for Saturdays game.
Tomorrow afternoon the Nationals will
have their first hard game of the practice
season in the Bostons of the National
League. Fred Tenney is particularly anx-
ious to make good showing against Wash

In the south and are In unusually fine con-

reach Washington this evening, and Man

COMMISSIONERS TOO
MUCH FOR GEORGETOWN

Georgetown University went down to de-
feat before the strong Commissioners' team
BY score of 5 to 0 upon Georgetown Uni
yersity field yesterday afternoon Though
the blue and gray lost and even at the
end OF the game found they had been goosa
egged, still the contest was pretty one
throughout, and those who attended had
run for their money all the way. The whole
story Of the game IL that the Commissioners
punched their hits once during the game,
and throughout the nine Innings the blue
and gray was unable to do the trick, even
though they have more hits to their credit
than their opponents. Montgomery was on
the slab for Georgetown, while Leonard
sailed them over for the Commissioners.
Mr.. Belts. late of the Church League. han
died the Indicator to the satisfaction OF
those engaged in the contest as well as the
spectators. which Is quite feat for an
umpire upon Georgetown field, considering
the fact that the varsity lost. Even the
Props kept quiet, but no one can blame
them. for the contest was about as clean
cut as has been seen at Georgetown In some
years. OF course, IL must be taken into
consideration that the varsity team was
opposed by cracks from every quarter of
the city.
In fact, when the Commissioners went on
the field with the addition Of Umpire Belts
standing to the rear of Pitcher Leonard
the aspect reminded one very much Of the
Church League Of last year. In right field
was Johnny Beall, late of Mount Pleasant
Congregational team, while In the left gar
den Bishop of the Fourth Presbyterians of
last year was playing. And also on first
base was King, captain of last seasons
Fourth Presbyterians. With such an ag
gregation representing his team on the
field Capt. Colliflower was content to sit
on the bench and see them take the col
1egians into camp without so very much
effort. One thing is certain, and that is
that the Commissioners have gained by the
disarmament of the Church League, and
before the season of 1908 Is in full swing
1t may be possible that more Church
Leaguers may be found in the company.
One of the pleasant surprises of the season
at Georgetown is the way that Capt How
ard Smith OF the varsity is landing on the
ball. Yesterday after striking out In the
first inning he came to the bat in the fourth
inning and nailed the ball to left field for
two bases. The next time he came to the
bat in the sixth inning he sent the ball into
the same left garden, where, Bishop was
unable to clamp down on the long fly, with
the result that when he did get 1t back to
the inf1eld the Georgetown captain was
safe on second base. In the latter part of
the seventh inning CantweIl was substi-
the Commissioners had started on their
batting streak which netted three runs. In
the last inning for time 1t seemed as
though the blue and gray would rally
Mudd hit safely to left and Monohan re-
peated the trick. j. Duggan hit to short
and a double play to second to first re-
suited. Cantwell came to the bat next and
sent q long fly to center which ended the
game. The score,

THEFT OF HARNESS.
Man Arrested for Alleged Larceny
From EMPLOYER.

Two colored men with two sets of har-
ness In pushcart attracted the attention Of
pedestrians last night about 11:3O O'clock
when they turned the corner OF Indiana
avenue and John Marshall place and the
police were notified By the time Detec-
tive Burrows reached the corner where the
pair had been seen the latter wers being
pursued by several men who were calling
catch thief One man went south on
John Marshall place and entered an alley,
while his companion went through Jud.ci-
airy square. Both men escaped. but the
sets of harness were recovered and taken
to police headquarters. Detectives Horne
and Flather started out to investigate the
affair and soon learned that the property
had been taken from the stable of E. T.
Adams. commission merchant, in rear Of
321 c street.
The detectives had reason to believe that
William Martin, colored. who had been in
the employ of Mr.. Adams for seven years
was one of the two men who had the har-
ness. About $50 o'clock this morning, .hcy
arrested Martin, when he appeared ut the
store of his employer and was about TO
start upon his days work. He denied
knowing anything about the harness when
placed under arrest, but he soon admitted
that he had participated In the taking OF
the harness from the stable
II needed the money, was his only eX-
PLANTATION.
He declared that he had never taken any
thing from his employer PRIOR to last night,
and said there was another man with him
when he got the harness. During the time
he was running from Indiana avenue and
John Marshall place to his home on Pierce
street he dropped his cap. He managed
to purchase a hat for five cents before he
reached home, however, and at the time of
his arrest he said he prepared to prove
that he was home at the time the stable was
robbed. Martin was locked UP for alleged
housebreaklug and Will be given a hearing
in the Police Court tomorrow morning. An
effort is being made to find the mal who

sort of an off day for the New York Ameri-
cans There was no game scheduled but

the OK on Monday, was put through a
series OF pitching stunts until he was all in
Griffith intends to put Orth in against the
Atlantas again ca Saturday, and until then
the big Lynchburg boy will work on the
slow side. In Fridays game Clarkson and
either Whalen or Leroy will be the slab
artists and on Saturday Hughes will prob
ably share the work with Orth.
Griff has another surprise in store for the
American Leaguers this summer. He is
working up new play which, he says, will
help to win him many a game, just as the
squeeze play has often pulled him out of
tight hole.
