Connie Mack should have entered into an
agreement to play the New York Nationals
only upon condition that the national COM
mission have charge of the games, appoint
the umpires with full authority to fine and
discipline players for conduct prejudcial to
the sport the same as they have the power
to do during the regular championship sea-

around the contests to make certain, that
they would be played in fair. decent. or

TOPEKA. KAN, March 3O.-Smarting
under their defeat at Wichita Thursday. the
Nationals did not get overconfident yester-
day, and as a result beat out the locals by
the score of to 1. The Nationals did not
do so much batting. but what they did were
blocked together in one inning and resulted
in three runs.
A remarkable thing about the game was
that every one of the Nationals miSplayS
were collected together in the second in
ming. Schlafy, Cross and Perrine being the
transgressors. and as result Topeka
scored its only run.
Graham opened the game for the visitors
and remained in the box for four innings
His work was splendid. the big curve he
served up making the Kansas boys bend
their backs to get within reach of 1t.
Hughes then took up the running in the
fifth inning and finished out the game, al
lowing but one hit in five innings. Big
Tom is in excellent form just now. but
says he will be better for the opening at
Washington.
The Nationals found stumbling blocks in
Halla and Clarke. and had a great time
locating the ball, only two hits being made
off the former and one off the latter.
Moore the other pitcher. but recently
ported, and wasn't in form, although his
support was disheartening.
The first scoring was done in the third.
Mil was easy out, but Warner was safe
on an error by Raglan. Graham hit to left.
and when Landreth booted the ball Warner
went to third. Perrine got out, but Warner
came home. One run.
Moore opened the fifth by walking Schlaf-
ly. Kole's error gave Mil life and put
Schlafy on third. Blankenshp's double to
left scored Schlafy. Hughes single to left
brought in Mil and Blankenship. Perrine
sacrificed. but Ganley and Cross were killed
on inield chances. Three runs.
Cooley reached first for Topeka in the
second, when Schlaf1y dropped throw
from Perrine. Runkel sacrificed to Graham.
who threw to Perrine in time to catch
Cooley at second. but Perrine let the ball
go to center and Cooley got second. Ragan
hit one that Cross got with the bare hand
and dropped as he was about to touch
Cooley, who was running to third. The
three errors thus filed the bases Halla
forced Ragan, but Cooley scored. One run.
The Washington squad left here last night
for Kansas City. which is run of about
two hours. 1t will play there today and to-

The operate delegation had a field day

Plungers on Glorious Betsy failed of the

struggle badly when the finish came.

the race interfered with a lot of horses,
running all over the track. At that her
good finish in third place showed gameness
and speed, and with stronger boy up
she should earn brackets in the me-. future.
Old Colony, the Madden filly, showed i'm.
provement and is not apt to remain long in

BEING A FIGUREHEAD
WORRIED STAHL

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 30-A special
from Hot Springs, Ark, where the Pitts
burg team is at practice, last night says:
From a reliable source 1t was learned
here that Stahl resigned his position as
manager of the Boston team because he
had no more power than any Of the men
under his supposed supervision. He had
no authority to sign or release players, to
make terms with men, pr, In fact. to do
any Of the things that usually fall to the
lot of base ball manager. He was leader
In name only. and he knew it. In fact he
told several of his team mates while
the club was practicing at Little Rock, only
a short distance from Hot Springs.

eral of the Boston players asked Manager.
Stahl to advance small sums to carry them
over until such time as their first salary in
stallment would fall due. Stahl thought
those requests not unusual. and wanted to
grant them, but was prevented from doing
SO by the real powers behind the throne.
1t is said, by those in position to know,
that this lack of authority preyed so on the
mans mind that he decided to throw up
the hollow title of manager 1t is further
alleged that it was continued brooding
over the matter that caused him to end his
life. refuse to be manager in name

YALE TOYED WITH
THE HATCHETITES

The University of Yale team simply toyed
with the George Washington team yester-
day afternoon at Van Ness Park, when
then won by score of II to ). The Hat
chetites were beaten all the way
Yale played its second game of the sea-
son and was in fine form, connecting with
the ball for a total of fourteen hits and
having but two misplays in its error
column. From the work put up by the
visitors yesterday, Billy Lush, the Cleve-
land outhelder, will have little trouble In
rounding out team to uphold the honors
of odd Ell against the other big uni
versities.
Tad Jones. the star quarterback of foot
ball fame, was at the receiving end of the
battery for the winners, and put up an
excellent game. He kept his men on the
move throughout the contest Kinney

field. and played a star game. Camp at
second and Clifford in center also did we'll

the plate catching Doyle. was a beauty.
Gushing was on the firing line for Yale
in the first five innings and did good work,
holding the local team to four hits
Schmidt. who succeeded him in the sixth
inning, pitched great ball until the last
inning. when he weakened. and three hits
were fecOEueu, TWO men were passed and
four runs scored before the side was re-
tired.
For the local team Titus was on the
rubber and was touched up for a total of
eleven hits, three of which were doubles
and one a triple. Doyle did fine work
with the stick for the locals. Out of
four times up he connected for two hits,
triple and double. Campbell also con-
nected for two hits. Senior played a good
game in center. He drove out a double in
the second, but did not score, as the next
man died.
With one out in the ninth inning, Titus
and Kinney colided at the plate and the
local pitcher received an injury to his ankle
which IT is thought will keep him out of
the game for the rest OF the season

A Speedy Workmaid.

Gen W. T. Townes. one of the right bow
ers of the confederate army and later con-
sui general to Rio de Janeiro, is maintain
ing a small breeding enterprise at Culpeper,
Va Last year he had fair success on the
Canadian circuit but yesterdays win with
workmaid is the first notable victory he
has gained on the local track.
As in Lady IsabelS case, The Stars rae
Ing columns called attention before the
meeting opened to the good work of Work
maid at Bennng. On one occasion week
before Hast the daughter of Fatherless
moved six furlongs faster than anything at
the track that morning, a fact that COM
rmended her to more than one District pa
tron yesterday.
AS a matter of fact the flly's perform
ance from a speed standpoint was first
class one, her six furlongs in 1.15 being far
and away the fastest race at the distance
shown at this meeting thus far. And the
way Workmaid finished gives every reason
to believe that she can go farther. She is
another feather in the cap of her sire,
FatherIess. who keeps turning out winners
with rare regularity this meeting.
Wood Stockton's speedy little fliy Anna
Smith duplicated the opening days feat OF
her stable companion. Anna May. II Train
er Garth has any more "Annas' in his

them right out for the publc's ediication.
Certainly the Garth horses, as rule, look
in good shape, in spite of the defeats of
Orphan Lad and Lady Vera. Yesterday

their feet and won cleverly from the big
colt Berkeley. who looked a bit soft and
will improve.

THE CLOWN A GOOD THING
Nationals Won Game From Topeka
Yale Beats George Washington

Virginia day was celebrated at Benning
yesterday by the native sons all rlght.
Five out of the six events went to horses
owned or trained by turfmen from the Old
Dominion. and as the popular Jockey Miller
rode three of them. the general public also
took a hand in the financial jolliication.
The way that the Nirginians, Washing
tonians and Marylanders persistently
drained the much harassed layers of their
coin was decidedly monotonous to the lat
ter except in one instance, Lady Nera's
defeat And even in that race nearly every
layeI on the ground quit loser, as the pro-
hihitiVe odds offered against Lady vera
kept public hackers off that FLY.
Probably the most popular victory or the
day was that of Lady Isabel, the hand
some two-Year-old fiily owned by Washing
toms we'll known citizen. Samuel Ross OF
the Columbia stable. From time to time
this winter and spring readers of The Star
have been kept posted of the great promise
of this fily. And with Miller up she had a
lot of public support we'll as that OF
her people.

The Clown in Form.


Azelnes success in the fifth race was
easily achieved as this much-improved

track. IL mud comes she will be hard to

Water Dog warmed up well that not a

speed. Sandy Creeker, after showing prom
inently for over half the trip, faded away
To nothing I'm the run home.
The support awarded The Clown in the
last event was the feature of the day in
the market, and several of the layers who
laid top price will probably lay off today
for financial repairs. 1t was an open secret
that the horse had worked very fast mile
and Owner Wright had brought over a dele
CATION of his Maryland friends to back him.
The Clown-a much-improved looking
horse since last fall-made a show of his
field. and Miller was easing him up all of
the last furlong. Armio, as usual, fiattered
his hackers by going out with The Cricket
and showing lot of speed. but the Califor-
MIA colt is troubled with ringbones, and
when these get heated up he naturally
wants to stop.

Miller's Three Wins.

In this race Tyrolian. the Hot Springs
winner. who was heavily backed by the
western delegation, was hemmed in by a lot
of horses for half the trip and could not
get clear sailing in time. She is a racy
looking daughter of that good race horse
Tammany and should not be judged on
this showing. Scarfell, the Canadian-bred
horse, was also badly interfered with and
the ground he made up in the run home
caused many close observers to note him
down for future reference.
The maiden races each day furnish me-
diums of quite heavy speculation from their
uncertain character. And yesterdays event
was no exception to this rule, several horses
being we'll supported. Alpenmar chen was
made false favorite the strength of
his work and hackers fairly tumbled over
each other to accept short odds about the
Palestine colt.
That great mare Imp furnished fairly
fancied contestant in the Madden colt
Faust whose fine action much like that
of his famous nanny" caused more
than one of the rail birds to go to him. in
spite of the fact that the inexperienced
Jockey Master Goldstein had the mount.
But apparent lack of stable support caused
his price to soar in the speculation and his
post hackers secured much longer odds than
his earlier ones.
While Alpenmarchen had some excuse
from being in close quarters early In the
race. he did not show much speed after he
got out or the Jam. ana VIII not be a 3 to )
