the Maps in the first two engagements,
pulling them out Of first place, and gave
them a bad scare in the third. The Maps
lost the flag by half a game. Walter
Johnson pitched the first contest and
won out by a red hair. Roy Witherup
had easy sailing in the second matinee
and local fans thought it would be a
clean sweep when Cantillon sent Tom
Hughes, who had been under suspension,

once the Maps located his offerings and
drove him out of the box.
Today the Nationals are here again.

Next Spring.

NEW YORK, September f5.-Cnless
there is some. unexpected hitch in the

President Farrell, I'VE will be able to
open the new grounds on or about April
Is. 1t Is our plan to have them ready
then If possible; IL not. we will move
in early next spring, maybe before Dec
Grafton day. Our present grounds have
holiday and Saturday crowds and We
are going to provide room for all at our
new plant.
New Workers have warranted this in
vestment by their magnificent patron
age Of the Highlanders. and we feel
that they are entitled to the best ball
park in America. regardless of cost"
The site at Kingsbridge must be fill
ed to the depth of twenty feet. The
ground at present is partly under water
and is huge marsh. To build solid
playing surface and groundwork for
foundations to support the immense
steel and concrete stands hundreds of
thousands Of cubic yards Of rock and
earth must be dumped on the property.
If this work progresses with the ex-
pected rapidity the plant Will be levele1
and ready for the fences and stands be-
fore the first of the year.
According to the architects plans the
grandstand will be double decker of
concrete and steel. with room for e, 600
seats. The open stands. similarly con-
structed. will seat 5000 more. and yet
the surface of the playing field will be
greater than that Of the Polo Grounds.
There will he elaborate quarters for the
players. club officials umpires, police and

minutes. and IT is reported that five

FIRST FOOT BALL WORK
FOR HATCHETTES
Only Four of Last Seasons
Regulars Turn Out at
Initial Practice.

George Washington inaugurated the
foot ball season Of 1870 yesterday by
putting in aL hour and a half OF easy
work. Twelve men reported for the first
days practice, while several others are
expected to turn out today for their
initial workout. Several have signified
their intention to come out as soon as
more suitable training quarters are OBJ
tanned, the men having, at present, to
dress in an old storeroom under the
Regent Hotel. The practice was held on
the ellipse.
The players were in charge of Capt.
Hart, as Coach Magonin did not show
up on the afternoon train from West
Virginia, as was anticipated. He ar
rived later in the evening and will take
charge, today.
Very few of the old men were in
evidence. Capt. Hart. Valeir, Hooten and
Buttman We're the only representatives
of last years squad who had on suits.
Ellis and Horn watched the practice
from the side lines. Both will probably
be out today. Eicxoff. Fowler and Bull
Tough are not expected to report until
next week 1t is believed that Brandt,
who has done some excellent work In the
line, will not be allowed to play because
of his having participated In the Federal
indoor games last winter against the eoict
of the university authorities.
Some likely looking new material show
ed up. Probably the most promising was
Spencer, star halfback last year on
Techs championship eleven. He showed
that he could handle himself we'll and
got some punts away for fair distance:
Among the others was Williams. an old
V. p. l. quarterback: Langley, who
played an end position on the Michigan
scrubs. and Smith, Il member Of the Po-
tomac Boat Clubs eight-oared shell. The
latter, while he has not had much expert
encc in foot ball. Is a husky specimen and
will surely prove a valuable addition to
the team later on In the season.
Only very light work was done. Capt
Hart had the men passing the ball
around kicking and handling 1t so as to
get used to the feel Of the leather Much
harder work will probaly be the order
today. Coach Mogoff1n will most likely
have the men fall on the ball, take some
starts and then put them through q
course tending to strengthen their wind.
The twelve men who reported for prac-
tice Yesterday constitute the largest squad
that ever answered the first call for cam
didates While in the main the men
were very light 1t was distinct variation
from recent years when only fye or six
were wont to show up.
Capt. Hart was very much plea ed with
the showing and expressed himself as be-
ing confident that. providing salts
factory candidate for the quarterback po-
sition is found. the end of the season will
find the Hatchetitcs classed among the
successful teams. -

FROM OLD CINCINNATI
Ball Players to Put 'BAl of
Rights" Before the Ma

CINCINNATI, September 15.-Major
league ball players are drawing up a

ers salary, a board of arbitration to pass
upon the case.
:. Representation on the national com
mission.
4. Six months players contracts to
terminate at the end of the league, or
compensation for twelve months of sery-
Ice If club owners insist on that time for
their contracts.
>. Freedom to play ball or engage In
athletic sports with teams other, than
those In organized base ball after the
American and National League seasons
are over.
