SOFT GROUND CAUSED FALLS.
A Number Of Mishaps in Yesterday
Cross-Country Runs.

The warm weather yesterday afternoon
induced the members of the Chevy Chase
Club who are fond of cross-country riding to
come out for the weekend drag hunt at
Bethesda Nd. Shortly after 3 o'clock
fifteen riders were in attendance. The
hounds were loosed at Bethesda and imme-
diately took the scent, which veered off
sharply through the Stott farm and thence
through the Hardy farm West Chevy
Chase was passed through the scent lead
ing straight across the country to the Ray
farm at Kensington, where the kennels are
located. Mr.. Reginald Huidekoper was the
acting master of the hounds in place of
Mr.. Clarence Moore. who was unable to be
present. His mount refused to take the
last fence at the Ray farm and he was
compelled to relinquish his duties to the
huntsman. Later when the gate was OPEN
ed his mount walked through in a seemingly
perfectly contented sort of way.
During the course of the chase, which
covered a distance of about twelve miles,
the mounts of Messrs s. P. Knut, Mr. W.
G. Eustis and Mr.. Jack Palmer fell but in
each case both horse and rider scaped
injury. The falls, IL is stated, were caused
by the soft condition of the ground in many
places where 1t seemed to be in half
treacherous footing for a galloping horse
FREELY fell with Mr.. Palmer as the Stott
farm was being crossed and the mount of
Mr. Knut fell at the Hardy farm. Mr.
Eustis mount went down just as the
bounds of the Ray farm were reached ard
with the kennels nearly in sight During
the chase the huntsman rode Masterpiece,
while the first and second whips rode
Lord Craven and Lady TeaZle respectively
As the warm weather is coming on and II is
expected that the ground will grow harder
II is more than probable that the number of
riders will increase. Besides those mention
ed. Mr.. Chester Kerr. Capt. Phillips and
Mr.. Hitchcock rode yesterday afternoon.

MUFFED' BALL COSTLY
FOR ST, JOHNS
Gallaudet Wins an Exciting
Game in the Ninth Inning
at Kendall Green.

An error of a thrown ball in the last in

and st. Johns College teams Yesterday
afternoon. at Kendall Green, decided the
game, and the former team came off vic
torious to 6.
with the score a tie. man on third and
two out, Bryne hit to Goodno, who made a
good stop and throw to Shannon, and had
the runner by big margin, when the first
Sackman dropped the ball and the runner
on third base scored with the winning
run.
Both teams did good work considering the
early season, and for time it looked as
If they would go the route of full nine
innings without either side scoring, but
st. Johns broke the ice in the fourth
inning, when they made aerun on an error
and base on balls Gallaudet did not
score until the seventh inning Hessler,
who was on the slab for ST. Johns team
pitched very good game and held the
Mutes' down to four hits. The errors
back of him were almost on every occasion
costly. The Gallaudet boys had three
pitchers on the rubber during the contest
Holiday was the first up. and for the five
innings he twirled held the visitors to two
hits and one run. Dillon succeeded him in
the sixth inning. but lasted but two rounds
as he was touched up for a total of four
hits' two of which were two-baggers, and
also gave two bases on balls. O'Donnell
who had been covering the initial corner
was sent in to relieve him in the eighth
and did good work in the first round, but
in the ninth he was hit for two singles
which, with base on balls, Melted two
runs.

McGlynn didn't use much speed, and his
control was anything but good. but he
somehow used his Celtic hink-piece to good
advantage.
The Nationals ran up against the double

Ganley began with a neat liner to left cen
ter that went safe. and wild pitch put
him on second. Cross put one in the same
place. and it looked so sure that Ganley
hustled half way down to third before he
discovered that O'Hara had caught it, and
he was doubled up.
Marshall jawed the umpires like an old
fshwoman all through the game, and
threatened several times to take punch
at them. but they merely smiled Either

The Sunday poker game coming
through the numerous tunnels on the
way reminded Manager Lajoie of a
game in which Tim Hurst and the late
Ed Delahanty took part. Tim had
opened the pot on three aces. while
Delahanty held up seven, nine,
ten and jack and drew for an eight.
Just as the draw was made the train
on which they were dashed into a tun-
mel. When play was resumed the hand
was played out. Tim had not bet

drawn his eight spot. Well. that

Catholic University Unable to

Costly Errors.

The first base ball game of the season of
1907 upon Georgetown field yesterday after
noon. between the teams of Georgetown
University and the Catholic University or
America, resulted after seven innings OF
play in victory for Georgetown by a score
of Ii to 0. Although the score shows upon
the face that the lads of Georgetown simply
played the representatives from Brookland
off their feet, still the men who lost must
be given credit for the game fight they put
up, in view of the fact that from the jump
they were Outclassed and outgeneraled
