CLUB or player can possibly be certain,
bets on the pennant are numerous in ST.
Louis. Several of considerable size have
been made.
And, strange as 1t may seem, most of
the bets made regarding the Browns find
the most enthusiastic betting against st.

The troubles between the Washington
base ball club and Second Baseman Jim
Delehanty are more imaginary than real,
and will soon be over. Jim blames the
southern climate for his sickness last
season. and as result is prolonging his
stay in Cleveland as long as possible, SO
as to have as little Of the training trip
as Manager Cantillon will allow.
Delehanty found his contract awaiting
him In San Francisco when he reached
there from the orient, and Immediately
wired Cantillon that he wanted more
money. Jim evidently expected harder
struggle for the advance. so as to delay
his training trip, as all his demands have
been met, and he is now trying to dig up
another excuse. AS the case now stands
CantiIlon will probably allow Delehanty
TO join the Nationals when they reach
Kansas City on the trip homeward. This
locality will be far enough north to keep
Del away from the malaria and be
satisfactory to everybody concerned. Jim
says that he will be able to keep in his
present good condition by working around
Cleveland on pleasant days and in the
Gymna SUM when the weather is bad.
There is practically no need of Dele
hanty in Galveston. He has worked
whole season with Mcbride and Unglaub
on each side of him and there Is nothing
for him to learn in the way of tricks

CHICAGO TEAMS
GREAT ROLLING
Lipman Five Break Worlds
Record in Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 8. - The
worlds bowling record for five-man teams
was broken here Saturday night by the
Lipman team of Chicago. Their score
was 1852, 30 points higher than the rec
ord score made by the Bonds of Column
bus. Ohio, at Cincinnati. last year. When
it was seen that the Lipman team had a
chance to break the record, interest In
the game was intense. From all parts of
the Duquesne Gardens the spectators
f1ocked to the alleys. A few moments be-
fore the game was ended 1t was apparent
that the worlds record was broken and
the cheering and yelling began and the
enthusiastic spectators rushed into the
Enclosure of the alley to honor the team.
Messrs. Lipman, Ward, Semones, Barch
and Wolf were overwhelmed with con-
gratulations, handshakes and pats on the
back With difficulty they succeeded in
getting away from the many admirers to
their dressing room.
Excellent bowling. a number of high
scores, music, a large, demonstrative au-
dience and plenty Of noise tnaugurated
the seventh night Of the ninth interna-
tional tournament Of the America Bowl
ing congress. Teams from Chicago, st.
Louis, Pittsburg and western Pennsyl-
vania participated. The kingston's wom-
an team from ST. Louis caused consider
able enthusiasm during the early even
ing and it was believed a record SCORE
would be made.
Miss Heltz in the first game made a
score of 202, and the game at this time
was sensational. Toward the last. how
ever. they Jagged and finished with a
score Of 2,1s1.
Two Pittsburg teams, Douglass. 2.67s.
and Edgewood, 1885, followed the Lip
man team in high scores. and the O'Leary
team of Chicago came fourth with a
score of $3.50.
The Brucks. Chicago. were fifth with
2.5s2.
Aside from the competition OF the teams
scheduled to roll this week, delegates are
Interested in the business sessions which
will also be held. The executive commit
tee of the congress meets tomorrow and
many matters Of Importance will come
before the bowlers at that time. Many
proposed amendments to the constitution
will be presented to the committee, one
by Secretary A. L. Langtry, providing for
a membership of fifteen on the executive
committee instead Of nine, as at present.
The announcement from Detroit that that
city would not be able to accommodate
the tournament of the congress next year
has caused quite flutter among the dele
gates, as it seemed that Detroit had been
settled on as the place of the next meet
ing.

Blue and Gray base ball team will play
a number of practice matches with local
club mines prior to the first regular battle
of March q, when the Hilltoppers will
cross bats with M. A. G. 1t Is thought
that permission for same will be readily
granted. since both the foot ball and bas-
'ket ball departments have enjoyed the
same privilege for some years.. In case
such turns out to be the case,
games will be arranged with teams from
the Departmental League and athletic
associations.
Work will start this week on getting
the field in shape. and Manager Stuart
expects to have everything in readiness
for practice on the big diamond by Satur-
day. The first job will be to remove the
foot ball bleachers. after which the field
will be rolled and the base lines skinned.
The infield will again be a grass one as
last season this kind proved superior to
the dirt ones of previous years.
Season tickets will be on sale by We'd
nesday. In past years only students and
a few close friends of the university
admit to all games of the year, for
SIS, but Manager Stuart has decided
to make the sale open from now on, and
hence any one wishing to secure same
can easily 40 So lLdUl0S season tickets
will be sold for half the price of the
others.
The bad weather of the past four days
has completely stopped practice, and by
looks Of things work cannot be resumed
before tomorrow or next day. OF course
the men will keep limbered up by toss
ing around the sphere indoors. but such
light work is by no means what is de-
sired. No time, however, will be lost
once the weather is clement, and before
many days pass by there will probably be
some good scrub games on Georgetown
field.

good bait was scarce and some of the

HOUSTON. Tex. March s-The Ma

again yesterday. and came back with the
same score made in Saturdays game, 1
to O.
The local fans" had their first peek
at the southern California wonder, Wal
ter Johnson; and he was pronounced the
goods from the start to the finish OF
the game. His remarkably easy delivery
fooled the Houston batters, as he puts
slow or fast ball over the plate with the
same swing and motion. johnson al
lowed but two singles to be registered by
his opponents, and handed out single
base on balls After the game Walter
felt pretty good, as he remarked that he
had done as well as Burns In Satur-
DAVIS game, holding the locals down TO
two hits.
Catcher Criger Of the st. Louis team
reached Houston yesterday morning and
caught Johnson the first four innings to
timber up. Bill Rapp then took up the
receiving end and demonstrated that he
is a first-class catcher. Rapp was given
hearty applause by his teammates when
he soaked out a nice double to left field.
Batting has been Rapp's weakness here
tofore but he made single Saturday
and double yesterday, which places him
among the sluggers. Cantillon said last
night: IF Rapp can hit just little bit
he'll stay with Washing tOn."
Cliff Blankenship was in his glory, al
though he did nothing around second
base, but he soaked out three singles.

Washington secured the solitary run of
the game In the sixth inning. Unglaub

LONG DISTANCE RACE
GETS UNDER WAY
Many Countries Represented
in Six-Day Go-as-You-
Please Grind.

NEW YORK, March S.-Twenty-seve Ell
teams Of pedestrians started on their
142-hour grind at 1905 o'clock last night
in Madison Square Garden The men
comprising the teams have been selected
from all quarters Of the globe and repre-
sent the greatest professional athletic
talent in the world. They are competing
in the first international six-day go-as-
you-please race ever held in the United
States, and the event promises to mark
a new era in the history Of professional
athletics in America.
The recent remarkable revival In Mara
thon running is largely responsible for the
race. Long-distance running has been
growing in favor in the last decade, and
the improvement in the training system
has been so marked that worlds records
are expected to be hung up for all dis
tances otter the first fifty miles. The
conditions governing the race are similar
to that of the recent bicycle contest.
Each man will run twelve out of every
twentyfour hours the contestants hay-
ing the privilege of relieving each other
at any time during the contest. making
the event In reality a siX-day relay race.
Interest In the event, however. will be
sustained as one man of each team will
be on the track all the time.
Naver In the history of long distance
racing has such remarkable aggrega-
ton of athletic talent been brought To-
gether. The nations represented in the
race are United States, Canada, England.
Ireland, France. Italy. Belgium. Holland.
Germany, Switzerland. Greece, Scotland,
Wales, Cpba and the Philippine Islands,
In addition to those the Indians are rep
resented by runners from the Mohawk
and Sioux tribes, while the United States
Army has two of the best long distance
men in the contest.
The European contestants arrived in
New York last Sunday and have been
training since that time at Woods Hotel,
on the Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn. Sew
eral of these men hold worlds records at
distances from 100 to 500 miles. They
are all in excellent condition and feel
none the worse for their long voyage
Their work since their arrival has ex-
cited much comment from students of
athletic form.
The American teams represent New
York Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, New
England, New Jersey and other centers.
Many of these men have had experience
in ong-distance running, while others
have established records in amateur COM
petitions and appeared for the first time
as professionals.

ter for Jim to be with the team, but his
fear Of malaria is a good excuse, espe
cially to those who have battled with the
maiady.
Jim is getting more and more like his
dead brother Ed every year. The old
boy used to do he pleased and was
a great trouble to his manager, but as he
was great player many of his faults
were overlooked in consequence. Man

A somewhat humorous story was tele-
graphed east from Chicago a couple Of
weeks ago to- the effect that Delehanty
would not play ball this season unless
the ban against him in Cleveland was
raised. To those who know Del" the
story appeared ridiculous. as no one en-

Johnson will issue the order before the
season starts.
A story comes from Cleveland to the
effect that the newspaper boys out there
nave become sorry over the way they
lit into Delehanty and have petitioned
President johnson to lift the ban against
the player. AS the Cleveland newspapers
were primarily responsible for Dele

Charley Somers one of the squarest and
! biggest-hearted men in base ball, has al
ready made il known that he is in favor
of the ban being raised and recently said:
We want that pennant this year at
Cleveland, but | don't want any flaw in 1t
if it does come our way. We can trim
that Washington team and Larry says he
is going to do it this year, and the
stronger 1t is with Delehanty in it the
better it suits me.
Bill Rapps Washington friends have
doubtless gone over the scores of the two
games in Houston with a great deal OF
pleasure. To think of Bill getting two
hits in two days, and one tWo-bagger
had Rapp down to Charlottesville with the
Nationals several years ago everybody
predicted a great season for the local boy.
But Rapp couldn't hit the ball out of the
diamond to save his life and just natu-
rally drifted back to the minors.
His catching has been improving every
wear since then and at the present time
he is one of the best receivers IN the
country Rapp caught both Burns and
Johnson without ain error. threw splendid
" to bases. and in addition hit the ball
safe and hard 1t was certainly great
news for his Georgetown friends.
Both Bill Burns and Walter Johnson
have had work to do in the pitching
line all winter and Manager Cantillon
naturally selected them for the first
games. Walter was working around Los
Angeles and is almost good as Burns
after his oriental trip. BY next Satur-
day- when the Galveston team will be
tackled Manager Joe will be ready to
take look at Gray and Groom. and
then something like a dope" Line can
be secured. Conroy will also be able
to work cut by that time and the inf1eld
sized up Blankenship will probably play
second until Delehanty joins the team,
and as Ganley will be there by that
time. better batting and fielding can be
looked for. The lineup Saturday and
