The stakes OF the two classic races in
which Signorinetta claimed victory were
alone worth over 100000. and the pros
poets OF that amount being tripled before
the season Is ended are bright. The
winning came just at the opportune mo-

The open dates in the schedule the past
week were much appreciated by the play
ers. as the sun on the White Lot for the
first two or three days was unbearable.
and it would have taken much persuasion
to get the players who figured in the
games Monday and Tuesday to again
brave the hot rays. The games will be
resumed tomorrow and all hope for cool
weather.
Norman Linthicum. the Michigan Uni
versity star pitcher, has been enrolled by
the Interstate Commerce management
and will probably do the slab work in
eligible to play by Tuesday With Balzer,
Hampton and Linthicum in good shape
the Interstaters should win more games.
Speaking Of catchers, a word should be
said for Smith Of Navy. AS receiver
can beat him. His throws to the bases
are commended by many, and hardly a
game passes by that he doesn't cut off
runners going to second. They dare not

is also big help to his team.

What a dash the Agricultural boys cut

OF the boys who won the championship
in the league and then captured the
premier honors of the District are miss

left. The team looks strong on paper
but some Of the players who are depended
on the most are falling short. Erratic
fielding has lost many games for them.
Billy Keane is out Of the game. doctor

Gently and allowed but three hits. In the

HIS EYE ON THE TRACKS.
Gov. Hughes Intends to Have the
New Law Enforced.

ALBANY, N. Y. June 2.-The report
that Gov. Hughes had twelve men at
Sheepshead Bay today to see whether
there was betting at the track was con-
yeyed to the governor this afternoon.
He said that he saw no occasion to
make any comment on it and he declined
to affirm or deny 1t.
1t is known that the governor has been
in close touch with what has been going on
at the race tracks since the enactment
into law Of the Agnew-Hart anti-race-
track gambling bills. 1t is known also
that he intends to see that the local off,
Gals amenable to him perform what he
believes to be their duty for the enforce
ment of the law not only at the race
tracks, but against pool rooms as well.
Although the governor will in a few
days leave on vacation Of several weeks.
it is understood that he has arranged to
keep in close touch with the race track
situation.

Marquette League Notes.

The Turner Athletic Club. one of the
strongest amateur aggregations in the
| District. and the reorganized Trinity nine,
| under the managership Of Frank Dove.
who led them so successfully last season,
| have taken the place OF the Commission
! ers and ST. Peters teams. which were
| dropped by the league last week.
Despite the fact that the league has
suffered many misfortunes in the past
week owing TO the pon-appearance OF
several teams. it has lost little OF its
patronage.
1t is probable that the Congress- Heights
and Trinity teams will give the leaders
hard rub for first honors.
ST. Joseph's will have to hustle to stay
at the top OF the ladder. as the Marine
squad is putting up a class of ball that
will win any pennant.
st. Pauls will put a better team on the
diamond when next it plays A number
of valuable players have been signed.
r. Rogers of St. Joseph's Is one of the
surest players in the league. Besides
gathering up everyt hing that comes his
way at the second corner he is also an
excellent pinch hitter.
Dowd'S spirited coaching while catching
a game is good TO hear He keeps the
Marines On their toes throughout.
Charlie Millers playing at short has
been sensational. His accuracy in throw
ing to first has spoiled many a team S
chances of scoring.
Kane the elongated first baseman OF
the Marines is covering that corner in
great style.
Hessler is still leading ST. Joseph's with
the willow. Dutch is also playing a
fine game afield.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

The attendance was IT'S.
Hughes and Dygert each struck out
four men.
1t is evident that Hughes and Street are
not working in harmony. They got cross
ed in their signals several times, and
Hughes told Street what he thought OF
his ability as a catcher.
Hughes made three Of the five errors
credited to Washington. but the runs
made in the fifth came in after chances
were given to retire the side.
There 10 no truth In the rumor that
Harry Davis Of the Athletics will be
traded for Stovall of Cleveland. Connie
Mack says he would not make the ex-
change for three Stovalls.
Street and Clymer made the two hits

Harry Davis got half of the hits made
by the Athletics, three swats falling to
his share.
