in an athletic contest there Is always
sure to be something doing in the way
of excitement. Although the Gothamites
have In past years had little the best
OF the argument. the advantage Is not
a big one. and the local lads say that
the balance will point the other way
after tomorrows conflict. So anxious are
the Hilltoppers to trim the visiting CON-
tingent. and thus make UP for last falrs
foot ball defeat. that they have planned
for special roofing for this game. AS
usual, the doings will draw a big crowd.
and as the Red and White has many
supporters In Washington there is but
little doubt that both aggregations will be
heavily backed.
Georgetown's victory over Cornell yes

strength of the nine. SO that the players
will start in tomorrow with a feeling

to the team, 1t nevertheless showed that

coach makes 1t impossible for one to
say who will do the twirling tomorrow.
but at present Devine looks to be the most
likely choice. unless he is used this aft
ernoon against Washington College. The
westerner is certainly q steady worker.
and with the team doing its duty behind
him he should succeed in beating the
Gothamites.
Fordham's lineup will remain un-
changed from the one that shut out
Princeton last Saturday, getting nine
hits off Cunningham in five innings.
Egan. who twirled for the victors. didn't
give a single hit to the Tigers. Either
he or Mahoney will be in the box to-
morrow. and as both are wizzes at put

find 1t pretty difficult to connect with
the ball. The lineup Of the visitors

Scanlon, right field: A. Sch9ess. first

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April 6.-The
Nationals made their flrst appearance OF
the season here yesterday. and in most
sensational finish trimmed the 1ndianap-
oils team by the score of to 4. The
Washington team is a big favorite here.
and almost mid-season crowd was on
hand to see the sport. The Hoosiers had
all the best of the argument for eight
innings and the visiting players had to
stand for all sorts Of guying on the pros
pective defeat by minor league team.
Young Cheney, who had taken up the
pitching In the sixth inning. had been
twirling like Bill Donovan or Christy
Matthewson. and the Washington lads
could not land the ball in safe territory.
Then came the lamentable ninth. and the
Indianapolis fans walked out of the
park with bowed heads. Bob Ganley
started all the trouble with whizzing
single into right field. Cnglaub tried
twice to sacrifice and then struck out
on q fast inshoot. Jerry Freeman came
to the plate and taunted Cheney. with
the result that he got four bad ones. and
was still laughing as he trotted to first.
Wild Conroy then sent scorcher
along the left field foul line for two
bases, Ganley racing home and Jerry pull
ing up at third.
Stand still. Blank yelled Freeman,
land he'll walk you
This remark evidently nettled Cheney.
ss he laid the ball right over the middle
Of the plate, and Blankenship slammed
the ball in the same locality Conroy' s
drive had gone, only more So and when
Cook had regained the sphere Freeman
and Conroy had touched the home plate
and the Californian was turning third.
The relay home was good. but Blank beat
the ball by several yards, and the Hoo
siers were trailing.
But the fun wasn't all over. Mcbride
rolled a warm one to Rourke and was
safe on the latter's tumble. Street died
on slow roller toward third, Mcbride
going to second ION the out. Hughes fol-
again fell down on and Mcbride came
all the way home. Hughes paralyzed the
home crew by stealing second. but 1t was
useless waste of energy as Otis Clymer
caught roundhouse curve on the end
of his bat and chased poor Cook. in left
field. once more to the fence. the sw pc
being good for three bases. Ganley came
up for the second time in the inning and
again tore of a single into r!gh., scoring
'Clymer. Cob then tried to steal second
and was out. bringing the merry walk
around to an end.
Bill Burns and Tom Hughes were on
the firing line for the Washingtonians, ami
both did well In the face Of very ordinary
support from Street. Conroy and Cnglauo.
Street threw to bases like a crazy man.
In the air after the ball. and the stealing
of bases Is what re the Hoosers most

lowed . pilfer.
The Nationals pulled out for Cincinnati
this morning, where they are carded for
two games with Grifhth's Griefs.

The Commissioners proved an easy
proposition for cap" Anson's axgrega-

Park yesterday afternoon. and were

considerable interest. the grand old

locals were completely outclassed by
the Chicago team, the game was not

ly and seemed to score at will In fact,
the local boys were completely out
played, both in the field and at the bat.
and 1t was only a question OF how large
a score the semi-pros would run up by
the end of the game. The contest was
called at the end Of the eighth inning
to allow the Colts to catch the evening
train for Baltimore.
The Commissioners lone tally came
in the closing session. and was the re-
suit Of a couple of infleld errors. a base

Another feature Of the game was the
initial trial Of the electric score board
which will be used in the approaching
American League contests. It proved
great success. and convinced those
present that 1t will undoubtedly make
a big hit with the local fans who will
witness the major league games this
summer.

|ALL BOXES SOLD OUT
IN TWENTY MINUTES

1t took about twenty minutes this
morning for Pink" Bowie. manager at
Hickman & Whites. to sell all Of the
sixty-six boxes for the opening game be-
tween Washington and New York next
Monday. The sale started at 10 o'clock.
and at 1925 Mr.. Bowie had answered
three telephone calls by saying that the
boxes had all been sold.
There was a crowd Of about 125 anxious
men waiting in Hickman & Whites store
this morning. Each OF them had some
good reason why he should get a box, no
matter what happened to any one else,
but some Of them were disappointed. 1t
was q case Of first come first served.
There were many men who thought they
could get boxes by telephoning for them.
and they kept the wires hot all day
long. The box which 10 occupied during
the season by members Of the Metropol-
itan Club was among the first to be sold.
A crowd Of brokers sent q delegate down
to the sale early and secured q good
situation.

TWO MEN HoNoRED.
Georgetown Goal-Tossers Get Posi-
tons on All-Southern.

An all-southern basket ball team has
been lately published by a member OF
the intercollegiate rules committee which
gives two Of the positions to Capt. Rice
/, and Schlosser Of the Georgetown Untver-
sity qu!nt. Cecil Of Virginia and Wills
and Wilson of the navy were given the
other three places. Sucn a quint would
be a representative one Of the section
although some Of the local rooters claim
that one OF the Colliflowers should be
on II.
Rice's selection was due greatly to his
spect against Columbia being of high
order. Schlosser claimed distinction by
excellent goal-shoo,.ng and dgg ess We
ness. In the tables published exclusive

ser and Kjcc led respectively In point

other points were also given, which show

indoor game, and there can be little
doubt that thse tables were liberal

Cecil the Virginia man. who got one OF
the guard job. showed himself to be an
excellent defender throughout the sea-

Wills and Wilson. both OF the Navy,

free throws won for his team its first
battle with Georgetown and came MIGHTY
near cinching the second. AS running

ly. since both men use nearly the same
style OF play. Wills played left guard
for the Middies and did his work well,
but the fact that In the three games
against the Blue and Gray he did not
get a goal. while Jim Collidower. who
held the same position on the Washing
