Northern Racing Season Now
On-Bellwetfer Is a
FavOrite.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-"They're
off" at Bennings this afternoon. The
racing season of 1908 is on.
The city is horse mad. In the ho-
tel Hobbies are large gatherings Of turf
ties, both owners and players. The
fortunate one that was able to spend
the winter either at New Orleans or in
California, is kept busy renewing ac-
quaintances with his less lucky breth-
rem. Tales of good things" that went
over the plate and of others that went
wrong at the different courses, are in
the air. The returned traveller from
outside of New York is busy seeking
information regarding the possibility of
the anti-betting laws going into effect
in the Empire State, All in all 1t is a
typical racing crowd. a and every
one overj6yed that the long awaited
season is now at the starting post.
Taking advantage of the beautiful
day yesterday, a crowd that numbered
owe 1000 journoyed out to the course
to see the starters in the big event re-
ceive their last try-out for the coveted
handicap.
The stiff trials are now over. and all
the thoroughbreds had to do vas jog
around several times, to avoid going
stale. Not only were street cars used
as a mean of transit, but by 10 o'clock
the road in front of the entrance was
comfortably damned with 'chug-chug"
cars n the surrey containing the resi-
dent farmer and his family was in
large attendance.

DALLAS, Tex, March 23.-From an
exhibition standpoint, the game be-
tween the Giants and Dallas yesterday
afternoon was not pleasing to h spec
tators. The Dallas team made<too
many wild pegs and errors and the
New York pitchers allowed too many
hits to suit the 600 fans who braved
the cold drizzle to see the contest.
The ragged fielding was excusable,
however, as the field got a thorough
wetting before the game and part of it
was played in a misty downfall of rain.
The base paths were muddy, and the
ball could not be handle accurately
after contact with the wet grass. The
Giants won, ~ to 8, by bunting a few
times and then whaling the vet ball
against the outfield fences. They soon
tired of this and hurried through the
game, as darkness came early and a
downpour threatened every minute
The Dallas boys got credit for as
many hits as the New Workers. out In
reality the Giants should have been
tabled with about seventeen safeties.
The outfielders could not start or stop
quickly. OIL account of the soggy turf,

and it was hard to hold a ball when 1t
came down.
The w-atersoaked sphere was the re-
cipient of an awful pummelling by the
Giants in the fifth and sixth innings.
Bresnahan got two three-base wallops,
going all the way around on one with
the aid of a bad throw, and Needham
clouted n owe the fence.
Burnett stuck through the nine in
ming on the slab for Dallas, but his
offerings were thoroughly picked. He
could not control the ball and, when
the Giants started to bunt, he inter
fered with the infielders. When a Dali
las man got up to a bunt he generally
threw it wild. If the minor leaguers
could have laid down the ball they
might have scored several runs by the
same system.
McGinnity used his underhand ball
considerably and "Old Sap' served him
right we'll. He tossed up a lot of curves
and had some of the local boys almost
disjointed trying to connect. Taylor
was touched up in the sixth, but the
runs in the ninth were due to the bad
light, which caused Seymour and Don
lin to misjudge two long flies.

man, Clark Griffith was forced last
night to change around the plans he
had made for the early part of this

poor weather the game will not be
played until tomorrow.
This change of program will keep
the Yankees In Chattanooga until

miss the game between the Cincinnati
Reds and the Atlantas here on that
day. But Griffith may bring the men
back in time for the second Red-At-

will play the Crackers here tomorrow and
Tuesday. Griffith will take to Tennes-
see sixteen men, including himself. Be-
sides the regulars Bell and Ball will go.
Elberfeld will join the squad at Chat
tanooga. Manning, Newton. Doyle and
Griffith will do the pitching, while
Sweeney and Kleinow will catch. Wal
ter Blair is on the hospital list. He IS
troubled with a heavy cold and sore
throat.
The weather is miserable. A cold rain
has fallen all day and few of the play
ers have stirred out of doors. The cold
wave hit Friday night. Saturday morn
ing the sun shone brightly and it prom
ised to be warm, but a sudden change
came in the afternoon. The past two

ing advance notices of a coming game
between Cleveland and Newark in h
Cotton City, but S~tallings's men have
heard nothing of it.
Catcher Frank .McManus, who has
been training with the Tigers, is due
to join the Montreal team at EastOn,
Pa, April 1. Stallings would like to
have Mac on the Newark club and
the player would probably jump at the
change. 1t may be that Stallings and
Jimmy Casey, the Montreal manager,
will arrange a deal later on.
Before leaving camp Friday night
Manager Stallings had a heart-to-heart
talk with the players. His advice in a
nutshell was BE on 0 u toes all the
while. Let no opportunities on the Of
fensive or defensive escape you. There
isn't a ballplayer in the country who
doesn't make a mistake once in a
while, but always have your eyes open.
Almost every club can figure out at
the end of the season how, If a certain
play had been made or a certain blum
der. omitted In certain games, it would
have on an average twenty more vic
tories to its credit, probably enough to
win the pennant."
!. The question of fast men came up
during a tanning bee of the Tigers last
might. "I'll tell you a var of the
fastest player in baseball" said Catcher
McManus. This chap played left field.
One day, with a man on third, this out
fielder fielded a ground ball to the
plate. He would have had his man
had not the catcher dropped the ball.
The following day a similar situation
came up. This time the left fielder
picked up the ball and ran down the
base-runner himself between third and
home. Why, this outfielder was SO
fast that he used to get after the foul
flies behind the plate. But his speed
got him in bad the next day. With a
man on third and a run needed to win
the game, this chap slammed out a
liner over second, but ran into his own
drive in tearing around the bases. Do
you know who he was?" But here a
general snore from the rest of the
crowd ended Macs great story.
