REAL STUFF AT GEORGETOWN.
Regulars and Yanigans Work the
Sphere for Five Innings.

The first real scrimmage of the Hill
toppers' season came off yesterday after
noon when the regulars fined up for a
five-inning battle with the Yanigans.
What the score was no one can state with
certainty. as the student appointed to
tabulate the runs found it too hard to
keep his points In order on account OF
the way the varsity crowd brought
them in.

SEYMOUR BOUNCED
BY MANAGER McGRAW

MARLIN, Tex, March 13.-The eX-
element over getting ready for the trip
to Dallas and Fort Worth, where the
first hard games will be played, was
somewhat overshadowed last night by the
fact that McGraw has peremptorily dis
charged Cy Seymour from the New York
club and has ordered his name taken off
the hotel register of Giants.
Notwithstanding that Seymour was
told he was not wanted yesterday morn
ing. he dcnned his uniform and went out
for afternoon practice. He took part in
the batting and McGraw did not stop it.
From this the players are inclined to
believe that If Seymour apologies for
his conduct McGraw may take him back.
All that MeGraw will say is: He IL
of the club. What I said goes
While the players were dressing fer
Latham in the. hotel hall, and after a
few words they came to blows. Sey-
Inour knocked Latham down and then
bit him on the cheek. McGraw and the
hotel engineer separated them. Latham
said he did not know why he was at
tackled, but Seymour says it was the
result of Latham's trying to make fun
Of him the night before.
Il was in the room next to a room
where Latham was with some company
said Seymour. Il coughed several times
] could hear Latham on the other side
will cough up a jack pot They all
laughed at this and II made me sore 1t
looked as II Latham was trying to make
a mark of me-"
McGraw says that Seymour's conduct
was inexcusable and that he cannot
stand for this kind of conduct on his
club Seymour still is at the hotel and
acts as If he intended to stay.

The American sailors did not show any
great enthusiasm. but Australians flock
