Had 10 win the opener.
Ten strlke-outs for smith-going some
Bob Ganley was on the coaching lines.
| They say he don't Ike left-hand pitchers.
Nobody but the -'ump" and Mcbride
seem TO know where Mac was hit during
the third inning
There were 100o0 persons on the
grounds and 5.0o0 in the press box, so It
looked to the scorers.
Same teams play to-day. Make Il two
I straights. Guess Bill Burns can turn the
| trick.
Wonder II Staliings is going 20 trot out
I WarhOp in one Of the gamesZ Doesn't

you never can tell.
Jack knight is credited with a three

Milan was misjudged by he latter and
before the BAH could be recovered the
| lanky one was resting on third.
Speaking Of knight. the youngster
made pretty stop Of Mnan's sizzler IN
the fourth Quick work alone retired the
runner.
Dolly Gray and Bob Groom looked as II
they had worn Washington uniforms for
years Everybody was crazy for a sight
Of the new twirlers and both created a
favorable impression during warming-up
time.
Both Bill Burns and Walter Johnson
{ declare that Jesse Tanneh1u has regained
his old time form and when warm
weather hits IS the southpaw will win
lot Of games.
In the seventh inning. on Milan's
grounder to Broekett, the scorers were
divided as to whether the error should
be ehaIked up against the pitcher or
first baseman. It would seem as II
Ward should have gathered IN the ding
"Oh, you Wild ConroyT' sang out voice
from the third-base bleachers, to which
the new inhelder replied with good
natured grin.
That new batting practice cage is quite
the proper caper: besides saving lots OF
time, it does away with the constant
banging Of wildly-thrown balls up against
the grand stand.
HemphiT pulled of pretty play in the
third. His perfect bunt fell just out OF
convenient reach Of Smith and Conroy.
and Hemp" was able to reach first be-
fore the ball could be recovered.
Demmett batted for Newton in the fifth.
Wonder if he said it, when he was
caught at second after Delehanty had
slipped Up or the batters grounder. This.
by the way, was Washingtons only
error.
That great circus catch Of EngIe's viii

Jacob j. Haarer.
Men were picked out for the minor
positions. and Il was reported that

INVESTIGATION STILL IN PROG
REss AND MORE HEADS ARE
LIKELY TO FALL-NEW REGIS
TER is GOOD DETECTIVE.

The new year had rather a bad start
for 20 conductors on the three-cent
car lines. All were discharged by the
company for knocking down fares by
substituting tickets for nickels. The
investigation started by the ID. u. r.
Is still under way and more dismissais
are likely to follow, it is expected.
The plan, according TO the company
officials, was TO hold out portion Of
the tickets collected during trip, and,
on the next trip. to ring in these tick
cts In place OF cash fares. That is,
when a passenger would pay a nickel
fare. the nickel would go into the con-
ductor's own pocket. while the stolen
tickets would be turned In to the ONCE
TO make his sheets balance with the
register
With the old style fare registers the
scheme worked like charm until.
through IA slip on some ones part, the
snap was given away and the COM
pany's detectives got busy. But the
company is planning 10 put stop to
the knocking down practice for all
time by adopting what Is known as

lines. IT is already in use on the
Crosstown line and works to perfsc-
