Poor Fielding and Inability

Locals Defeat.

Lack of team work. combined with
stupid base running. inability TO Held

sided victory for Yale over the George
Washington baseball nine at Van Ness
Park yesterday, II TO o

were retired in one. two. three order,
either on strikes or weak IN field hits,
which their opponents smothered with

Cushing and Schmidt were delegated
by Coach Lush 10 do slab honors for
the visitors. The former started the
game. and for five innings served up
baseball delicacies which, 20 George

Henry James TO a frst-gTade pupil. On

The locals started out with snappy
work which retired the sons of Ell in

work with a single and steal by

but the other players are not on the
job at all with the bat. They are not
hitting the ball as hard as they should,
and have dismalIy small success IN plac-
ing it when they do land.
No Encouragement Yesterday.
The game yesterday offers no encour-
agement whatever The three pitchers
who officiated for Topeka were by no
means wonders, and Moore was decided
" weak, vet the best Washington could
do was five hits. The day before in
Wichita saw Washington make thirteen
safetiss. and ii was thought that at
least we were out of the wilderness,
but yesterday against pitchers no better
gthan those in Wichita, and possibly not
as good the cIouts were not half as
numerous.
Aha team is undoubtedly stronger in
every way than at the bat. The team
work in fielding and at bat is a hundred
per cent better than last season, but
you can't get runs unless you get men
to first. and Westinghouse are reach
ing first these days principally on errors
by the other side. A third and possibly
half the runs that have been made In
THE past week by Washington have been
istarJed by errors by its opponent and
not because the men hit safely.
Gantilleu Feels Position KeenIy.
CantilIon is saying very little, but feels
lthe position keenly. When somebody
twas making excuses Thursday night for
THAT horrible defeat by Wichita and ex-
Yplairing that the Kansans had scored
IOn errors. Canullon remarked: Yes.
tbut there is no reason why you fellows
should not have scored in the three in
,nings you had after Wichita gained its
lead of one run"
That explained the situation in a nut
sheu. The fielding is not the best ever,
but u is all that could be expected. and
the pitchers are doing fairly well but
aTter the other fellows get a lead. Il
seems almost impossible for Cantil-
Ions men 70 step in and bat out runs.
Ihere IS no particular weakness in
the batting that can be specified Out
neld flies, easy Erounders TO short and
second and sJFlke-Outs are 1umbled to-
gether on the pages of the score book
and every man varies his styles of dying
az the wrong time In the first few
games the lack of hits was taken as a
joke, but II is not so now. and if things
do not get better Washington will be
almost as bad Oft as il was four wears
ago, when it lost the first thirteen
games.

HAND TORN BY LION.
Miss Dolly Castle Hurt-Animal Show
Closes Tonight.

Miss Dolly Castle, the young lady
with the AL G. Barnes show, who goes
into the Gagged arena with the three
lions, was badly injured last night as
a result of a tussle with her pet lion,
Juliet While in the middle of her act
the lion struck at her and the claws OF
the lion were fastened in the flesh at
the lower joint of her left thumb. The
flesh was all torn away from the bone
and the injury was so painful that 1T
was with difficulty that Miss Castle
was able to finish her act. However,
she went on and there were few in
the audience who were able to notice
that the plucky little woman had been
injured. The injury is not serious in
itself but there is some danger of
blood poisoning setting in.
The crowd at the show last night
was the largest of the week and was
Il good one considering the inclemency
of the weather. The work of Miss
Grey was excellent and she did not fail
to answer a single question The per-
Torrance tonight will close their en-
gagement in Topeka and they will
open up in Denver next Monday
night.
