EXERCISING THE
PONIES AT BENNlNG

The pleasant weather yesterday furnish
ed the incentive for about a thousand peo-
pie to journey to the Benning track to
look over the ponies as they went through
their exercise work. From daylight until
well into the afternoon the thoroughbreds
were put through their PAGES. but not much
time could be made on account of the
heavy track.
The newly appointed secretary Benja-
min Halter. was early on the ground and
was the recipient of numerous congratu-
lations from the horse owners and train
ers who were on hand to see their thor
oughbreds work out.
Thomas McClerry galloped Royal Lady,
Golden Flea and chestnut two-year-old
by Banastar three-eighths of mile in
Al 40. and his prospective Benning hand-
cap candidates. Right and True and
Greene. turned five-eighths in Ill 10
Howard Shean. who won a race the last
day of the fall meeting. stepped three
eighths in .3S 1-5. Reedmore galloped the
same distance in 40 fiat: Berkeley and
Banyah stepped halves in .58 and Iron
sides. Penarris and Thistledale did halves
in 81 Ii.
The best half worked was done by
Queens Royal She galloped four fur
longs in so 3-5. Fancy Bird, a member
Of the stable Preston Burch is training
for Ernest LaMontagne. stepped a quar-
ter in % and Milestone went the same
distance in 81 1-5.
John Madden's fine-looking two-year-
olds, which are about the smartest Young
sters ever seen at Benning in the spring,
galloped halves in about one minute Mad
den is not asking too much of his young
horses. He does not expect to race the
good ones at Benning. He will of course.

POSTAL CLERK
HELPED BILL KAY

King Bill Kay. the tall Washington out
fielder, who startled the base ball world
last fan by his remarkable sticking quail
ties, could tell some interesting stories
anent his advent into base ball if he could
be pumped by newspaper man.. 1t will
be recalled that Kay was given a brief
trial by the local team in the exhibition
series in the spring of 1907, but that he
was allowed to go without a good look
over on account of more than twenty men
being on the teams roster then. 1t was
Kay who went to the Hotel Carroll at =
o. clock in the morning, reused Manager
Grim from his dreams and struck him
forthwith for job. The reason Kay did
this was because he came to the city on a
midnight train in a postal car, and it is
assumed that he did not have the price
of a nights lodging handy. Certainly, If
he did, just out of the mountains Bill did
not know how to locate himself even in a
small city of $4,000. The trip of Kay
is vouched for by former railway clerk
who interested him in endeavoring to
reach up in base ball, and he offered to
bring him here if he would try for a
berth. This postal clerk had seen Kay
playing ball around WEIGH. w. Va, where
the tall one was engaged in stringing tele-
phone wires for the Bell company, and
he believed there was something more
than ordinary in the country boy; hence
his interest. 1t was this trip, probably
his home run in the Lynchburg- New York
American game off AL Orth, that gave
him the determination to go on, and it
is certain that his brief career here has
caused the local fans to watch his work
with great Understanding they will
continue to do throughout the coming
season.-Lynchburg Advance.

Return of River Steamer.

The steamer Jane Moseley of the In
dependent Steamboat Company. this city
returned last Saturday night from Bal
timcre, where she has been for the past
sixNmonths. and is lying at the pier
foo. of n street southwest. The Moseley,
on the closing day of the excursion sea-
son last fnll. broke her shaft as She was
taking a party of colored excursionists
down the river. She was conveyed to
Baltimore to have the broken shaft re-
placed and for other repair work. Since
leaving here, it is stated, the steamer
has had a general overhauling of her
boiler and machinery. and her hull under
water was put in thorough order to meet
all the requirements of the steamboat
inspection service. The boat. it is stated,
will be used during the coming summer
in conjunction with the steamer River
Queen in running colored excursions
from: this city to Motley Hall and points
farther down the river.

fish, trout and soft shell crabs
The Colts wore the black road uniforms,
with the Regulars in the white home ones.
Ganley opened with bunt wide of first
but Burns beat him to the bag and han
died Charley Smiths throw nicely.
The first four Regulars in the batting
order are left-handers.
Shipke hit the first ball pitched to him
for two bases into right, scoring Milan
easily.
Tony Smith got the first new rule sac
rifice by bringing Keely home from third
on long fly out to right center
Falkenburg won the glad hand by a
running one-handed pickup that resulted
in Milan being effaced at third.
Burns dropped little Texas Lacquer in
short right that Meinke. Milan and Kay
went after. but failed to reach.
Capt. kahOe injected lot of ginger into
the Colts.
Burns, in the third inning. struck out
Falkenburg on four balls and then made
Ganley swing neffectively on three.
Two Of the three hits made off Burns
were scratches, one bunt that Pickering
had easily beaten and the other was a
smash to deep short by Freeman that he
managed to beat out.
Meinke is the lightweight of the team,
but he appears nimble above and below
and seems to be well schooled in second
base trickery.
In the fourth was unfortunate for Peter
son. 1t filled the bases. and then Street
followed with two-bagger to right cen
ter
Oberln is another left-hander at bat.
Clymers double to the clubhouse cor
ner in right field was the longest of the
afternoon.
There was some pretty sacrifice work
by both sides.
Another game between the Regulars and
Colts will be pulled off Wednesday after
noon.
The early hour of starting was unusual
but nevertheless there were 600 or 100
admissions taken at the gate.
Milan took the fielding honors. He
chased long fly from Ganley's bat to
deep center and then landed it with his
gloved hand by a high jump. In revenge
Bob took fly off the left field fence that
Kay tried to put over into the street.
Charley Smith tried to knock down the
left field fence with two-bagger, and
another time nearly knocked Pickering
off his feet with a scorching liner.
McCloskey is already boasting that
Karger will eat up the Nationals in next
Sundays game at Houston. Cantillon is
not alarmed by the threat and will cover
some of McCloskeys money on the prOpo-
sition if the latter wants to bet.
Keely, Gates Patten and Charley Smith
will be the slabmen TO rthe midweek
games.

WORK OF BENEVOLENCE.
Society of st. Vincent de Paul and
It's Mission.

The quarterly meeting of the general
conference of the Society of st. Vincent
de Paul was held last evening at Carroll
Hail. Addresses explanatory Of the aims
and laudatory Of the work done by the
society were delivered by Representatives
Goulden of New York and Ransdell OF
Louisiana. as well as by Rev. Father
William T. Russell. pastor Of st. Pat
rick's Roman Catholic Church.
IT have seen charitable work done all
over the country said Mr.. Goulden. ''but
in no organization is the work carried on
so faithfully, SO efficiently and witha SO
little ostentation or display as in this
body" In conclusion he added: keep
up this noble work. 1t will stand by you
when you need it most. 1 wish you
Godspeed in your efforts in the Master
service in caring for poor unfortunates
whom God In His inScrutable wisdom
has left to the care of their more fortu-
nate brethren"
Mr.. .Goulden paid high tribute to both
Fathers Gloyd and Walter. both deceased
pastors of ST. Patrick's Church. who ne
said, had been his warm personal 1rlends
in days gone by.
"I am edited at being present at this
meeting OF Catholic men," said Repre-
sentative Ransdell. II have listened IN
tentIy to the reports that have been read
and am greatly pleased to learn that your
worthy society has expended more than
seven thousand dollars on the poor peo-
pie of this city in the past three months:
Your work is a revelation to me- ana
l promise to do henceforth all that hes
within my limited power to assist in this
worthy cause.

urged his hearers to do what they could
to make its benefcent influence felt and
respected there.
Father Russell was the next speaker.

thropy desires to help the most deserving.
Jesus Christ has said: L will reward you

in which you give 1t. In the Society OF
St. Vincent de Paul 1T Is as it should be
with all men-help and aid are and ought
to be given whether the recipient be

After commencing the work of the So
ciety Father Russell concluded by urg-
ing his hearers to strive with diligent ef-
fort as in the past, always to show their
compassion to the multitude, lifting up
and ministering strength and succor 10
the weak, that they may become strong

Three singles and a crashing double for
two bases against the fence by Charley
Smith put two more. bad marks against
Faikenberg, but that was the end of the

Oberlin worked deceptively for three in

end of 1t, though he was touched for a
single.
Burns a Good One.
Burns, Wilson and Peterson worked
three innings piece on the slab for
the Colts. The big southpaw from Los
Angeles was decidedly classy and made
every one sit up and take notice. He
chunked the sphere over with deadly ac-
curacy and was reached for but three

of the latter was a slow bounder to short

Good Ball Game.
The game was played sharply and
there was lots of good ball in it, Timely
sacrifices were plenty; there was no
dumb base running and some smart
field plays were worked in. CIymer,
Pickering and Milan were kept busy
chasing long flies. and Freeman worked
around the initial bag like the expert
enced hand he is. Clymer and Picker
ing showed up in midsummer form in
their general play. and Shipke pushed
them hard for honors. If Street can
keep up to anything like the gait he is
starting off with Cantillon will have no
worry over the catching department. He
is built just right for backstop--not
too heavy or too small-and he is quick
and easy in his style of play. He gets

Want Amateur Trainers.

NEW YORK. March 9.-An effort is
being made to induce the officials of the
Amateur Athletic Union to allow the re-
tention of amateur standing by athletes
who accept positions as athletic directors
in the school Fairgrounds, but so far 1t
has met with refusal. 1t is difficult to
secure men for the work at the small
salaries allowed. but the school authors
ties believed that they could obtain col
lege athletes during the summers. pro-
vided their amateur status was not inter-
fered with by such work. The union
officials say that the case comes squarely
under one of the rules Of the union, and
that it cannot be changed without opening
the door for any professional to secure
amateur standing.
