OUTLAWS FIRST SHOT
AT ORGANIZED BALL

PHILADELPHIA, February 16.-The new
Atlantic League fired its opening gun on or
ganized base ball yesterday when RED"
Donohue, one of the star pitchers Of the
Detroit club Of the American League signed
contract to pitch for the Wilmington.
Del, club Of the outlaw circuit.
President A. w. Lawson. principal stock
holder in the Delaware team. came to Phil
adelphia yesterday and obtained Donohue's
signature to a contract. Donohue agreed
to pitch two games a week for salary
said to be the largest ever offered to
man outside the major leagues.
of Donohue," said Mr.. Lawson last night.
81 am now trying to land Tim Jordan, the
great home-run hitter of the Brooklyn
team.
After Tim Jordan.
II have offered Tim more money than
Ebbetts is paying him, and as Tim is out
for the coin. believe he will accept.
BILLY Gilbert, who played second base
for New York last year. is another player
1 want for my team. The other Positions
will be filled by the strongest minor league
timber available.
my club will not be the only team in the
Atlantic to have major leaguers in its line
up. All have lines out for some of the big
stars OF the country, ana you IL see TWO or
three with every team"
The signing of Donohue Is a master
stroke for Wilmington, as Red is rated one
of the best fingers In the country. At the
same time Donohue's detection will en-
barrass Manager Hughey Jennings Of De-
troit, who has the pitcher on his reserve
list.
Donohue announced his retirement from
a hotel in this city and said that he would
devote his time to it's management.
why Donohue Accepted.
He accepted the offer to go to Whining
ton because it will not materially interfere
with his business. After pitching q game
he can easily return to Philadelphia to
watch his interests at night.
Donohue started his big league career in,
1896 at St. Louis The next year he was
traded to Philadelphia. where he remained
until 1901, when he jumped to the st.
Louis Browns. In 1894 he went to Cleve-
land and last year he was released to De-
troit. His most noteworthy achievement
took place In 1888, when q member Of the
local team. He shut out Boston without a
hit or run.
Ball players do not deplore the activity
of the new league In seeking big league
material. They can use the outlaws as q
club to boost their salaries just As they
used the Tri-state circuit for q similar end
before it Joined the ranks Of organized base
ball.

Mind fs Open to Conviction on sOldiers
 Innocence.
 Washington, March 29.-Lieutenant Greer. ouartermaster and acting batal- lion adiutant of the 25th Infantry on the night of the affray at Brownsville, was on the stand today in the investi- qation by the Committee on Military Affairs of the Senate.
 In the absence of Captain Macklin he took command of Company c while the shooting was in progress. He tes- tiAed in detail concerning the events at the post that night at the conclu- sion of long direct examination. the witness told Senator Foraker that while he believed the men of the 25th In- fantry did the shooting, his mind was now open as to their guilt or innocence. He thought that the firing came from the center of the town and that shot, guns and revolvers were used in the firing heard.
 He estimated that 1t would require forty or fifty minutes to clean a gun so that it would stand inspection af- ter having been fired. He did not be- lIeve the guns could have been cleaned in the dark without showing traces. ot oil if 1t were used and If not used the guns could not be thoroughly cleaned
 During the morning session the com rnittee re-examined Walker McCurdy formerly quartermaster sergeant oi Company B, concerning surplus rifles in the store houses. He was positive that none of the rifles in the arms chest had been used in the shooting

Malarky Should Be Allowed to Run

Bunch Not Yet in Proper shape and win show Up Better with the stick After season Gets
 We'll started.

Today will see the last of the ante season games of Malarky's team on the road. After the game in Mobile this afternoon they will leave for home, arriving here in the morning.
 While it Is pretty early in the sea- son, the anvil chorus has been work ing overtime during the Gulfport games. True, the team did not make the showing that was expected of 1t in Gulfport, yet 1t is manifestly unjust and unfair to hand out the hot roasts to members of the team that some of th< local fans have been doing for the past few days. The men are not fin the condition they will be in later on. and they are not letting themselves out as if they were playing championship games.
 It seems as If it would be much wiser to let Malarky alone. He is supposed to know his business, and if he doesn't make a showing by the time the sea- son is under good headway 1t Will be proper for the fans to begin some lusty hammer throwing.
