her beliefs since she was here last.
When she was here in 1891 she made
declarations which she stands by IN

following definition OF theosophy:

NEW YORK beaten
IN OPENING GAME

NEW YORK April 16.-'rhirty thousand
persons-a record -bre eaking base ball gath
erins-attended the opening championship
game on the Polo Grounds Yesterday be-
tween the New York and BROOKLYN clubs
and watched the home team go down to
defeat by a score of 3 to after thirteen
innings of marvellous ball.
The game was pitching duel between
Irving Wilhelm and Leon Ames in which
the Brooklyn boxman tired out his New
York rival. Ames did not allow hit in
the first nine innings. only twenty-seven
men facing him in this time. In the ex-
ira period the Brooklyns got to him
strongly, making four hits in the last
round.
Manager Lumley started his team on
the road to victory In the thirteenth in
ming by tripling. Jordan was purposely
passed in the hope that a double play
could be pulled off on Lennox. who, how
ever, singled, scoring Lumley. Two more
runs were tailed on hits by Bergen and
Burch and Schlei's error.
A great throw to the plate by Sebring in
the eighth inning prevented New York
from winning in that round. Wilhelm
held the New Yorks to three singles, the

victory to ]. making it two out of

Manager CantiIlon decided to give Bob
Groom his first real baptism in a full
game and as luck would have it. caught
the tall young Californian out of keller
He was as wild as the proverbial Texas
pony and by the time Manager Cantillon
decided he wouldn't do. the game had
gone glimmering. Bob passed Cree and
Keeler TO first on balls and then hit Ell
berfeld a soaker in the back that made
the little fellow Sroan. Big Boy Engle
then stepped to the plate and drove out
a timely double to right and two runs
came over the plate. That was plenty
for Mr.. Groom and he was told to take
himself to the clubhouse while Charley
Smith went on the rubber.
Big Mcconnell was at the plate when
Charley started work and two runners
on the bases. a trying situation. AS
cool as cucumber Smith shot them
over ard Mac laced out timely single

That ended the Yankees work for the
day as Smith then struck hsi gait al

Comments on the Game.

Artist Bergman of The Star had quite
a distinguished group of base ball en-
thusiasts with him yesterday afternoon.
including Vice President Sherman. Sena
tor Carter. Representative Loudenslager
and Commissioner of Patents Moore.
James X Hill, the great railway mag
nate of the northwest. was to have
joined the party. but he reached the
grounds late and quietly took back seat
in the grandstand. Vice President Sher-
man is one of the greatest lovers of
base ball in the city and rarely lost a
game last year. He had expected to be
In attendance AT the opening, but bust
ness called him home. The box party en-
joyed the battle to the fullest. especially
the Vice President, who warned Mr..
Bergman that he would have to root for
the New Yorks as he considered the
Highlanders his home team.
Bob Groom certainly got bad start in
the American League yesterday. but he
will be given another chance. and then
some to show what he can do. Groom
has plenty of speed and good curves but
lacks control, fault he had on the coast
last season. but Manager Cantilon is
confident he can work this defect out of
the tail boy before the season Is many
weeks older.
HlpIe EVANS demonstrated yesterday
that he is thoroughly up on the rules and
knows the game as only an arbitrator
should. When Groom was pulled out of
the box in the first inning one of the
New York newspaper men thought he
had 1t on Evans and asked him about the
new rule. Bin came right back and
quoted ii for him. and Mr.. Scribe col
lapsed The rule was only made to stop
the delay when a pitcher is changed and
pitches five balls while another twirler is
warming up.
In the third inning. knight thought he
could pull OFF dirty piece OF work by
throwing up his arm and bat as Street
started TO throw to second on Balls steal.
Evans quickly saw the movement and de-
clared knight out. If only one man had
been out at the time, Ball would have
been declared out for interference and
Engle would have been sent back to third
With two down, the batter Is called out
In the same inning Elberfeld tried to
score from third when Ball hit to Conroy
and had the throw beat. but in sliding he
missed the home plate, and Evans was
standing right over the play. He showed
F,iberfeld just where his shoes had slid by
the plate. and little Tabasco was salts
fed
1t requires a great deal more work, but
umpires like Evans. Connolly. Sheridan
and O'1oughlin should be kept behind the
plate and the other four jumps act as as
sistants on the bases. There would be

dug up down in the Virginia League

Quinn uses a spit ball and he had the
locals guessing throughout the game. 1t
was up to the plate and back to the bench
for the Nationals in five of the nine
rounds and in only the first try were the
locals able to get a runner over the plate.
Clymer led off with a short fly into
right that keeler almost grabbed at his
shoe tops and the spanker was good for
two bases. Milan died a roller to
short. but Bob Unglaub was there with a
beautiful single into right that sent ely
mer scOoting over the rubber. Unglaub
then tried to work the hit and run game
with Delehanty. but Quinn came within
an inch of knocking "Ders'' block off

very. little to get away from the four
named.
George Mcbride and knight gave
beautiful exhibition of shortstop play yes
terday. the throwing to first of each after
clever stops being almost perfect Man.
ager Stallings has all along insisted that
Knight is a greatly improved ball player
over the days he was with Connie Mack
and he certainly demonstrated this during
the three games just finished.
If "Wid" Conroy continues his sensa-
tional work around third the friends of
little Bill Shipke will be deserting the old
ship and joining the new. In the three
games played Conpy has had twelve
chances and every one was handled with
an ease and grace enjoyable to look at.
He is especially strong on plays at the
plate. as he always keeps cool and makes
the throw like a man aiming at mark.
AS a result the ball lands about knee high
in Streets mitt, and the catcher has
very small distance to go to get the run
ner. With the stick COnroy is about lead
ing the team.
. The Boston aggregation got in last
evening about $50. the game in Philadel-
phia with the Athletics being postponed
on account of wet grounds. Manager
Lake said last night that he would prob
ably place Burchell on the firing line
today. and as result it will be bat
tie of southpaws, as Burns will do the
f1inging for the Nationals. President
Taylor is with the Red SoX and also
scout Pat Donovan. who at one time was
the manager of the Washington club.
Donovan has many friends in Washing
ton and he held quite a reception in the
lobby of the Arlington this morning.
Charley Smith certainly looked the
goods yesterday after he got out Of the
big hole Groom had dug for him in the
first inning. Three scattered hits in
eight innings is certainly pitching some
ball. and had the locals been able to To-
cate Mr. Quinn a different story would
have been told after the game. With
that good right arm in perfect order
Charley Smith classes up with the best
twirlers in the land.
President Ban johnson was an inter-
ested spectator at the game and al
though he tries to be impartial there is
little doubt but that he was pleased over
the showing of the Highlanders in Wash
ington. A winning ball team in New
York means a great deal to the American
League. and it goes without saying that
Byron Bancroft is always pulling for an
event or condition that will benefit the
association of which he is the head.
Saks e. Co. will show a weather flag
this season denoting if a game is being
played at the park or not on rainy days.
The flag will go up every day the Ma
tionals are at home and will be lowered
as soon as game is declared of.

Peculiar African Race.

There is a peculiar sort Of people
living in northwest Rhodesia. These
natives are small of stature, with large
horns on their heads. The horn
springs from the scalp. consists of the
natives hair mixed with fat and filth,
and is sometimes as much as IS inches
long. For the most part these Kafirs
live on the grea. open fats to be found
on both sides OF the Kafue river. They
build their huts on the great ant heaps
which appear like hills scattered over
the flats. When the Kafue is In flood
and the fats are changed into great
lakes these people are safe in their
huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle
also take refuge on the ant heaps on
which corn and mealies are likewise
grown.
