GEORGETOWN BEAT
OUT The TIGERS

The grit Of old Georgetown was shown
yesterday afternoon, when. after being
given a severe dIubbing on Saturday after
noon by the Princeton University team, the
Blue and Gray boys came back and handed
the Tigers a big lemon by defeating them
by a score Of 10 to 2.
The Tigers won so easily on Saturday
that it looked like an easy proposition to
take the game yesterday. and consequently
the followers Of the northern team backed
it with all they could get, but the loyal
sons of Georgetown were there with the
goods, and easily took the coin The win
ming of the game was due largely to the
fine box work Of Montgomery, who held the
Tiger Sluggers down to six hits, although
his teammates supported him in fine style
with the stick, Scheller getting two dou-
bles. Drewes pitched the first five innings
for the losers and allowed eight runs.
Clark, who supplanted him, Jared little
better, as two runs We're made off him In
his first round
Capt Smith, at the third sack. was the
only one to slip up on the Blue and Gray
team. The fielding was brilliant, Scheller
and Devlin carrying off the individual hon.
ors. Vaughn did the best work with the
willow for the visitors, getting two hits
Cooney caught a fine game. Georgetown
started the scoring in the second inning on
base on balls, single by Courtney, a
balk, single by Maloney and Fisher s
error. Princeton tied the score in the third
Vaughn opened with double. Winster
was safe on Smiths error of Harlan's
chance, and both trotted home on Mclean 8
single.
The game was clinched for Georgetown in
the fifth, when six runners got home Mont
gomery was passed, and after Devlin was
retired Scheller pulled off a double, scoring
the pitcher. Smith singled and Scheller
scored. Simon came to the rescue with a
double, and Smith came home. Byrnes was
safe on Fish's error, and then the big first
sacker stole second. Simon and Byrnes
scored on Courtneys safety, and Courtney
went to second on a misplay by Minister.
Duggan was out. Maloney pulled off
good single and Courtney scored. In the
sixth two more runners got home. Schel-
Ter drew a pass. Smith sacrificed, Simon

CHICAGO QUINT
LEAD NATIONAL BOWLERS

ATLANTIC CITY, April 2.-The second
started off yesterday with a lengthy pro-
gram, but the scores were uniformly low
except in the five-man event last night.
In the doubles 1,136 was the highest score
and was rolled by Gerdes and Gerdes of
New York. This puts them in fifth place
among the honor men,
In the latter event two teams broke last
weeks record. They were the Algonquin,
No 1, Of New York and the Mineralites of
Chicago.
By rolling score Of 2 1876 the Algonquin,
No 1, of New York jumped into first place,
displacing the Wyndham team of Philadel-
phia, who held the post of honor with 2725
pins. From the start of the first game the
New Workers went after high honors and
totaled 948 They fell off somewhat in the
second, but the 933 score was high enough
final effort. Schwebke, who had rolled SO
well in the other two games, fell down to
100 and the team made S34 pins, enough,
however, to place them in first place.
! The Mineralites of Chicago also beat the
score of the Wyndhams by rolling 2, 73i pins,
which placed them in second place

"GOLD CUP" SCANDAL
IN THE COURTS

NEW YORK, April 2.-What is known
among racing men and lovers Of trotting
matches as the Gold Cup scandal came to
trial yesterday morning before Justice
Greenbaum in the supreme court, when the
taking Of testimony was begun in the suit
brought by the Memphis Trotting Associa-
ton against E. E. Smathers to recover the
gold cup won by one of his horses at the
meeting of 1904. The suit involves the al
legged doping of the trotting mare Lou
Dillon In the race with Major Delmar at
the Memphis track in 1904, the last-named
horse, owned by Smathers, winning the cup.
The suit is brought in behalf Of the Mem
phis Trotting Association by Murray Howe,
it's secretary. 1t has attracted considerable
attention aong the sporting fraternity and
the scandal was pretty thoroughly thrashed
out last spring before the board of review
of the National Trotting Association, when
the board found in favor of Mr.. Smathers.
Lou Dillon was owned and driven In the
race by c. K. G. Billings.
Upon the trial yesterday John ]. Adams
and Edward p. COyne appeared for Smath-
ers, while the Memphis Trotting Associa-
ton had former Judge Hatch of the firm Of
Parker, Sheehan & Hatch as counsel
Judge Hatch in opening the case told the
could be shown that the mare was in per-
feet condition until thirty minutes before
the race, but that during the time of her
cooling out from her preparatory race
she was drugged, and when she was hooked
to the wagon in preparation for the race
she showed that something was wrong and
on reaching the half-mile post suddenly
stopped. Major Delmar finished the mile
In 2:OI. while the mare was only able to
finish in 2:1S. Judge Hatch said he would
show that several days before the race the
defendant conceived the plan to unfit the
mare so that she should lose the race. and
entered into conspiracy to prevent the
mare from winning the race and then car
r1ed out the conspiracy.
After Justice Greenbaum had denied a
motion made by former Congressman
ADAMS to dismiss the complaint George w.
Spear, driver for Smathers. was placed
on the witness stand. He said that in 1904
MI Smathers was anxious to win the gold
cup and asked hi to go and see Ed. San
ders, the brother of the trainer of Lou
Dillon, and see if there was not some. way
In which Major Delmar could win from Lou
Dlllon Sanders, he said after a CONVEX
satlon said he would see his brother and
ascertain how it could be done At a second
conversation Spear says Sanders told him
II reported to MIR. Smathers" said the
witness, land he said it was too much
that all he would give was 5000 l went
back and told Ed. Sanders and he said he
would not do 1t for that money; that it was
worth $1,000
Later the witness said he saw Willard
sanders driving the mare at Memphis and
also talking with his brother Ed Sanders.
Cn cross-examinatfon he said he was dis
charged by Smathers in 1905 and he thought
he did not tell anybody of this particula +
matter until after his discharge He told
Murray Howe about the matter in Chicago

another defeat yesterday, this time at the
hands of the Syracuse University team, at
Van Ness Park, the score being 10 to 8.

the visitors after their turn at bat in the
second, they having made five tallies in trait

second inning score was duplicated in the
fourth. and in the fifth the winners acquired
another run. Their last two. runs were

BASE BALL NOTES.

George Nils work yesterday once more
demonstrates that he is one of the best util-
ity men in the business.
The Boston team may be all broke up, but
it lost little time trouncng the Cincinnati
outfit. A good leader would do wonders
with the Boston aggregation.
Hal Chase is a star of the first magni-
tude and the New York club did the right
thing in agreeing to his demands. The
clever first baseman can certainly make or
unmake the Highlanders this season.
Why don't President Taylor go after Tom
Mccarthy and place him in charge of the
Bostons? Mccarthy knows the game from
every angle, and there is just enough of the
rowdy in the old-timer to wake up the ex-
champions.
Jake Stahl would fit into Bostons center
field very nicely. He can certainly play
the garden, and the 'outfeld work may just
be the thing to improve his batting.
Well take another chance on this one.
The printers deeply regret that Abbatic-
chic didn't remain in retirement
If size counted for ability. then Nealon
would bat over 800 next year. Joe only
weighed about 300 when he reported.
Donovan, the Phillies catcher. has i'm
proved greatly under the eye of Charley
Doom and Manager Murray, and will be a
big aid to the team this season.
Dolan was one of the best sun fielders
the game ever produced.
Addie Joss is putting in some hard work
around the first cushion. Joss is really
clever fielder, and when his pitching days
are over he should have no trouble in land
ing a good first-base job.
Pitcher Stanley. signed by Montreal. was
a star in the Virginia League. Last year
he famed 202 batsmen and had seven shut
outs to his credit.
Cleveland players who saw both the
Highlanders and the Detroits at Atlanta
and Macon declare that the Detroit team is
stronger than the New York outfit.
Boston writer's say that Denny Sullivan
is a prize. They say you won't have to
draw a chart to show him what is to be
done, and he moves around the outfield
faster than any outfielder Boston has had
since the days of Pat Dougherty.
The ball player gets called for making
mistakes, as well as those in any other line
OF business. In the spring training camp

NATIONALS IMPROVE
IN STICK WORK
Batted Out a Victory Over the
Springfield Club.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 2.-The Spring
field base ball fans" had their first oppor-
tunity of seeing Washington team yester-
day afternoon, when the Nationals tackled
the local Three ] League club, and the i'm
preston made by the visitors was good
one. Manager Cantillons team easily out
batted and outfelded the locals, and won
by the score Of to 2. The visitors would
have scored more runs but for the fact that
Manager Cantillon insisted upon everybody
trying for stolen base and as Catcher
Ludwig has good throwing whip he turned
back several Of the venturesome runners at
critical points of the game.
There was a stiff northwest breeze blowing
over the field, making overcoats and sweat
ers a necessity for the spectators and play
ers, and. as consequence, the fielding was
not of a high standard.
Little George NIL, who Is we'll known
here, was the star of the Nationals both
in batting and fielding. He simply smoth-
cred everything that came within his reach
and in three cases he killed off almost sure
base hits. One fly in short right field, Of the
tantalizing Texas League order was gath
cred in by Mil on the full run, with his back
to the ball. The catch was so unusual that
he came near doubling up a runner on first
who had started for second on the apparent
safe hit
CrOSS also nelQeQ nicely around tnlrQ, ana
Schlafiy took care of everything that came
his way at first.
In the batting line Mil and Altizer were
the leaders, each getting three singles, while
the latter also smothered five hard chances
in center field Lave Cross was close up
with two singles.
Case Patten was on the firing line for the
full nine innings, Manager Cantllon has
reached the point where he wants his twirl-
ers to demonstrate that they are ready for
the championship season, and the big south
paw worked very WELL although the cold
was against him. He refrained from putting
on great speed and devoted his entire time
to getting the ball over the plate, with the
result that the Springfield boys hit the ball
hard in spots in the seventh and eighth in
nings. when their only TALES were scored.
The Nationals left last night for Indianap-
oils, where they play today and tomorrow
with the American Association team of that
city. The Hoosiers make up a strong team
and will give the Washingtons plenty of
practice.
Following is the score of yesterday S

long in suspense. as the Syracuse boys
found his delivery in his second inning in
which round they batted out five tallies. He
pitched fairly good ball for the next three
innings. but the Syracusans were not sat
isfied with the large score they had already
piled up. and bounced upon his delivery for
enough hits to total them two runs. With
one out, Carr was sent in to relieve
Thomas, and escaped without any damage
being done to his delivery.
Doyle, the crack first baseman for the
Hatchetites, was the one redeeming fea-
ture, he having made one-half of the hits
secured by the entire team. four in all, one
three-bagger, a double and two singles.
Dick" Senior, in center field for the losers,
also held up his end, capturing two outs and
making single.
