CANOE CLUB DEFEATED
COMIC OPERA TEAM

In a base ball game full of excitement
from start to finish the Washington Canoe
Club defeated the Aborn Opera Company
yesterday Afternoon on Analostan Island
by a score of Is to IA. The club invited
the male members of the company to come
over to the club house. on the Potomac
west OF Georgetown. for a good time yes
terday, and the game was part of the en-
tertainment.
The big war canoe belonging to the club
and a whole fleet of smaller craft were
pressed into service to convey the players,
spectators and the refreshments to the is
land. The party started from the club
house about $50 pm, and the game began
about half an hour later. Before the first
inning was over a refreshment booth was
esta blished at. third base, and it is claimed
that had it not been for this the number of
runners crossing the home plate would
have been too many to conveniently record.
The singers played a lively game, and
for while it looked as If they would carry
off the honors easily, bu. in the sixth inning
the canoe club boys got busy with the stick
and swatted the ball into all corners of the
field. Amiss, as pitcher. and McConville, as
catcher, who went into the game just al the
critical juncture. also had a great deal
to do with the success Of the club, their
work arousing the widest enthusiasm on
the part of the padders.
Umpire BrapsOn made use of the 'eagle
brain and massive eye with which he has
been successful sheriff of Noting
ham, and called strikes and balls in a truly
professional manner. If he also forgot him
self so far as to coach the players in his
enthusiasm this was willingly forgiven.
Stall was captain of the singers and
Eberbach of the paddlers. They were not
stingy, but allowed everybody chance to
get into the game
The lineup of the teams was something
like the following:
Aborn Opera Company-Huntington May
| and Stall. pitchers; Mccarthy, catcher; Stall
and others, first base: c. May. second base;
Ramey, shortstop; Meekins. third base; Ed
| wards. right field; O'Neill, center field; Hal
! beck, left field.
Washington Canoe Club-Scantling Pom
| eroy and Amiss, pitchers; Eberbach and
McConville, catchers; Duckstein. first base:
| McConville and Eberbach. second base;
! Pomeroy and Scantling, shortstop; Skinker.
| third base; Hammer, third base; Echols,
| center field; Nettleton. left field
Scorer-Clabaugh.
| After the game the players and spectators
participated in a swim in the river, and a
| Sunday concert in the club assembly hall.

ing made In certain quarters to induce
State Senator Blair Lee to ask the demo-
Gratis of Montgomery county to indorse
him for the gubernatorial nomination. to
succeed Gov. Warfield. AS yet Senator
Lee has not made known his decision In
the matter. In view of the sentiment in
the county in favor of Col. Spencer G..
Jones for this honor, 1t Is not thought the
boom for Senator Lee will amount to
much, as the suggestion of his name is
generally believed to have been inspired
by a desire to embarrass the candidacy
of Col. Jones more than for any other
purpose. Should it come to a showdown
between the two, there Is believed to be
little doubt that Col. Jones would win out
by handsome majority.

COMMENTS ON THE GAME.

Manager Cantillon had all the Washing
ton players out early this morning and
every one worked hard at practice for
couple of hours Signals were again gone
through with and the players apparently
enjoyed the sport If Tom Hughes is all
right he will work against the White Sox
this afternoon with Heydon at TIE recev-
ing end of the battery. The new lineup of
the Nationals with Anderson on first and
Nil in left field has done SO well that
Manager Cantilon has decided to continue
the combination indefinitely or until some
one else gets knocked out through an in
jury.
The new player. Elwood who halls from
Quebec, had on uniform this morning and
his work was watched with interest by
quite a large crowd of fans who occu-
pied seats in the stands. He is very quick
on his feet, has a good throwing arm and
gathers up fast rollers in a clever manner.
In playing first ElwoOd has a lot to learn
before becoming a first-class infielder, but
he is evidently of the willing sort and
ready to take lessons from any one of the
older men.
Schlafy Perrine and Mil were coaching
him this morning. while Manager Cantillon
put in a word now and then, and his work
was quite satisfactory. AS 1t was the
young mans first work out with fast play
ers a true line on his merits could not be
had After he becomes better acquainted
with his fellow-players and gets more con-
fdence he will doubtless show improve
ment-
Ex-Capt. Schlafly will doubtless start out
on another scouting expedition about
Wednesday, and this time his trip will take
him through the Tri-State League. where
several players have been tipped, off to
Manager Cantillon.
The Chicago players had hard time of
it killing time" yesterday. A majority of
the men hung around the hotel and re-
ceived visits from their Washington friends.
while few took in the nearby summer re-
sorts Manager Jones said this morning
that he would probably work Ed Walsh in
this afternoons game and good contest
should result. The White Sox are anxious
to return home in first place and We're not
a bit backward in claiming all three of the
remaining games of the series.

Charley Byrnes Goes to Milwaukee.

Charles Byrnes. the big Californian. who
covered the initial sack all season for the
Georgetown University team, has signed a
contract to play first base for the Mil
waukee club of the American Association.
Byrnes. who halls from the University of
California. came to Georgetown at the
opening of the college season and was one
OF the first men out trying for the team.
He did such good work on the first bag
that Coach o Hara gave him the position
which he held during the entire season.
Although Byrnes not a constant hitter
he generally drove the leather for two or
more bases and several times during the
season clinched games for the Blue and
Gray by driving out home run.
1t is stated that Manager Doyle of Mil
waukee does not expect Byrnes to become
a star at the outset. but looks for him to
improve with a years experience.
