players left this city last night at 1870.
the party almost filling up the specially
chartered car for the trip.
"All aboard shouted Joe, as the train
was about to leave. I'VE are making a
good start, but there is no telling when
we will finish up. Last season 1t seemed
as if we were On the road for week,
but if everything goes well. the railroad
official tell me, we should reach Calves
ton Thursday evening""
Manager Cantillon had with him, Wild
Conroy, Jesse Tannehill, George Mcbride,
Bill Rapp. Clyde Milan Charley Smith,
George Groom. Bob Unglaub, Bill Shipke,
Tom Hughes. Bert Kelley, Mike kahoe
and Ollie Pickering.
kahoe is being taken along to help work
out the pitchers, and Pickering will meet
the Minneapolis bunch in Texas.
Jim Delehanty will leave Cleveland for
Galveston after weeks rest at home,
matters between him and Cantillon being
fixed up last evening over the long dis
lance telephone. Del said that he was
in splendid condition. and Cantilon al
lowed hi ma few days grace on this ac-
count.
I've got to get that infield working all
right as soon as possible said Joe to
Delehanty, land / can't spare you any
longer Jim assured his manager that
he would be with the gang not later than
next Monday.
Conroy had little difficulty mixing with
the boys, as he has known a majority of
the Nationals for the past five years.
When seen by The Star representative
just before the train pulled out Wild
said:
II have always hankered after the out
field. as it is much easier, and I think my
batting is improved, but Cantillon says
he wants me for third, and third 1t will
be. 1 never felt better in my life and my
arm has not troubled me for years. To
my way Of thinking the Washington in
field should be able to give good &C.
count of ITSELF"
Manager Cantillon said that he expected
to find Walter Johnson, Bill Burns, Dolly
Gray and Ote Clymer in Galveston when
he arrived there. Burns andw Johnson
know that always treat everybody right,
and after we have conferred for a few
minutes 1 am sure they will sign con-
tracts" he added.
Send my regards to the Washington
fans and tell them 1 will have a nifty
team at National Park for them to look
over April 12.''

SMALL SQUAD OUT.
Cold Winds Keep Many Of George
town Base Ball Candidates AWAY.


Yesterday was the first day for regular
base ball practice at Georgetown For
a couple of weeks the pitchers and catch
ers have been loosening up their joints.
but not until yesterday afternoon did
candidates for the other positions get on
the job. For a first practice the number
out was the smallest in years. but this
is accounted for by the cold winds which
blew across the hilltop making the air a
little too chilly for some of the pros
pective diamond stars.
In all a few over twenty men were on
hand and were pushed pretty hard. OF
course, the work was light in comparison
with what it will be week hence. 1t
consisted of a little pitch and catch, a
half hour of fielding and batting work
and a jog around the field.
OF the candidates that reported eight
were veterans and need no introduction
to the local fans. Five of the others
have been doing stunts with the battery
men, while the rest showed up for the
first time. Duffy, Montgomery, Mayock
and Mess were the only old men still ell
gible who did not come around. 1t is
thought that they will be on hand today.
in the person of Callaghan. who halls
from the Smoky city and wears Pitts
burg collegian sweater. He looks like the
goods at infield work and may prove a
suitable man for the hole at short left
vacant by the graduation of Capt. Smith.
Murphy, another Pittsburg collegian,
looks good for place in the outfield.
or the remaining crowd very little is
known. Billy Cogan did excellent work
on the Props and should prove able to
hold his own in fast company. Hunt of
st. Vincents. White from North Caro-
lima, Smith of Cleveland and the three or
four more whose names were not an
nounced complete the list to date. It Is
probable, however, that before Sunday
the size of the squad will be nearly dou-
bled, as many have registered who have
not as yet put in an appearance in base
ball toys.

ATTELL OUTPOINTS
PIERCE IN SIX ROUNDS

PHILADELPHIA, March ABE Attell,
the featherweight champion of America,
met tartar in Young Pierce of German
town last night at the Washington Sport
ing Club. While the champion outpoint-
ed his opponent and was the stronger at
the finish, Pierce took all that came his
way and never attempted to avoid punish
ment by evasive tactics.
For the first three rounds he frequently
stood toe to toe and exchanged straight
left-hapd punches and right-hand body
blows with the great master OF feather
weights.
Attell was not in the best condition for
sixth rounds boxed carefully and took no
chances of running into his opponents
vicious right-hand swings and his famous
right shift.
At times the bout bordered on the SEN
sational, and the crowd, which filled every
ing of space. howled it's delight at the
scientific exchanges. Time and again
each mans head would go back as though
1t were on hinge from cleVerly timed
left-hand punches
In this style of fighting Pierce appeared
to be the equal of Attell. But the little
mulatto could not parry the body blows.
and it was through this effective style of
boxing that Attell almost beat him into
submission.
In the fourth and fifth rounds Attell
drove Pierce to the ropes. and while the
latter was standing with both legs
straight under his body Attell beat
wicked tattoo with rights and lefts, On his
opponents body. Once he drove his MINI
BILE opponent through the ropes by this
vicious body onslaught
On the number Of blows landed and all
round work Attell was entitled to the YER
dict The men weighed in at 100 at 6
D. m. and neither moved the beam.
Hundreds were turned away from the
clubhouse unable to gain admission and
those who were able to see the ring
through the dense smoke and crowd were
given what proved to be the boxing treat
OF the season.
