Darkness again cast it's shadows over the
grounds at 18th and d streets yesterday
afternoon and ended the game between the
Atlantes and the National A. c. In the last
half OF the seventh inning. The game was
called back to even innings. giving the con-
test to the Atlantics by the score of to 5.
Great difficulty is experienced in getting the
teams on the field ready for play at a rea-
sonable time. But one game has been
played nine innings since the opening of the
league this season, but in the future u rule
will probably be applied that the team that
is not on the field and ready for play at 5:45
o'clock will forfeit the game.
The game was very interesting and excit-
ing until the seventh both teams playing
very fast fielding game and hitting the ball
with energy. Handiboe was on the rubber
for the Atiantics and pitched excellent ball.
allowing his opponents but six hits and
making four batsmen fan the air. Uselton
also pitched good ball at times. he having
struck out one more man than his rival, but
his shoots were Strengthened out for good
long hits when runs were needed. Noyes
led his team with the stick. making two
singles and a home run and scoring two Of
the eight rms The score.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAGUE.
Team Standing.
Christians Easy for Fifth Lads.

Fifth took another stick OF candy from
the league baby yesterday, drubbing the
nine brothers for total Of fifteen hits and
sixteen runs, while the babies toddled over
the rubber as many as four times.
Ninth had made such a good stand
against Sixth in an apparently lost cause
that still further improvement was hoped
for by the enthusiasts, but their sins of
omission and commission were more In line
with their earlier demonstrations of how
the national game should not be played.
They plugged along, falling not into the
slough of despond, but their cheerful ef-
forts were productive principally of goose
eggs and errors.
All was quiet In the initial round, but in
the second Fifth chucked the game in the
refrigerator with fusillade of bingles, every
player getting In safety except Hurley
and Elicit, and Mcknight fattened his bat
ting average with two clean raps. After
the first two innings Fifth made only two
sixth and seventh were good for the cir
cult.
Stuckert and Kerper again played good
ball, Notwithstanding the discouraging
work OF their teammates. Walker kept his
slate clean in left and drove out a single
and a two-bagger.
Wood led with the sticlt-three hits out of
four times UP. Evans also connected for
a trio
In the second Bishop drove a screecher
over third. but Akers shot up In the air
and pulled down the ball with his ungloved
hand.
Mcknight did not extend himself but
famed twelve and allowed only six hits

NO CHANGES IN
NEW YORK AMERICANS

NEW YORK. May 16.-Manager Clark
Griffith, while not directly in command of
his players at American League Park yes
terday. saw the game from one OF the pri-
vate boxes. and presumably no important
move was taken without his orders. Griffith
is now serving a five-day sentence imposed
by President Ban Johnson of the American
League for his clash with Umpire Hearst
in game with the Washington team on
last Monday week. Hurst also was sus-
pended for the same number OF days, and
Elberfeld, too, was suspended for improper
conduct toward Umpire Evans the next
day, but the latters punishment was re-
mttted to a fine of 500. Manager Grffith's
sentence began on Monday, and therefore
will expire Friday.
The leader of the Greater New Yorks
was not in pleasant frame of mind yester-
day. He had been informed that there
were discussions in the ranks of his play
ers, that discipline was lacking, and that
Owner Farrell and himself, after a confer
ence, had decided that two players filing
important positions would be released

contrary are malicious in their inception.

Catcher Fred Jacklitsch Is playing outlaw
ball with the York Tri-State League team.
He was suspended by the Providence club
for failing to report at the opening OF the
season. Jacklitsch held out against a re-
duction of salary. and when he failed to re-
port ne was suspended for thirty days.
Fred didn't like this and jumped.

haven't delivered the goods, either.
Ban Johnson denies that he secured
Charley Carr for the Reds at an exorbitant
price. He says that Mr. Hermann first
mentioned the matter to him, and he did
nothing except to say that Cincinnati should
have first chance at the big fellow. He as
serts that he had nothing to do with holding

DlNEEN AT
OUTS WITH BOSTON

BOSTON. May 16-Bnl Dineen and the
management of the Boston American club
are at odds. and until Dineen signs a con-
tract he will not be allowed to play. neither
will he draw any salary while on the ineli-
gible list.
Setback Is also on the suspended list, but
SeIbach's contract has been sent to Ban
Johnson. and the matter will probably be
settled today.
Yesterday Tannehill's signed contract was
received by President Johnson, and he at
once wired Umpire Connolly TO allow Tan
nehill TO play.
Dineen Is dissatisfied. 1t has been given
out that he wants a two-year contract, but
the club refuses this request 1t Is also
known that Dineen wants something more
than n two-year contract.
II can be said that the club will not go
to Dineen. Collins is not inclined to hurry
Dineen. He feels that Dneen will be IN
line in few days at the most.
1t Is rather a peculiar situation. Dineen's
only refuge is the outlaw league. Boston
has big staff of pitchers. and the club Is
not worrying.
