LlAul u cOhllueuce lue 0OInell OCIn-
pany baseball team Will journey to New
York City to-day to meet the Gothamites
on their home field.
In the game with Philadelphia last Sat
urday the Paperhangers easily came
away victor. and II their plans do not
seriously miscarry, they will win another
game to-day. New York is the hardest
proposition Of the two teams which the
Washington champions have to meet, as
the boys from the Empire State have a
seasoned battery and fast fielding ag-
gregation to back up the pitcher. Wash
ngton should win on its batting ability
but II the Cornell boys fall down with
the willow a close and hard battle IS
bound TO result
In answer to a telegram from the
writer. the manager of the New York
team wired that MS lineup would be the
same as last week. but reports from New
York and statements in the newspapers
there point TO the contrary. One paper
boldly prints that the New York team
will be considerably strengthened by
players whose status IS questionable. be-
cause the Cornell is much older. man TO
man. than the New York nine. Another
speaks OF several new men in the line
up But even against the team which
defeated Philadelphia, Washington can
not AFFORD e loaf while playing against
St Nicholas IN its home field.
To-dny's Game Is Important.
In case Cornell Company wins to-day
the New York and Philadelphia teams
VIII have to defeat the Cornell nine in
the double-headar here on September a
TO keep the Washington champs from
landing the intercity championship
Should the Paperhangers be beaten IN
New York. they will have TO take the
double header on its home field 20 win
the flag, and one victory would tie up
all three clubs.
Manager Cornell viii take no chances
on the New York boys playing a stronger
lineup than the one which was in action
last Saturday. when the teams meet to-
day. and he viii take his entire squad
with him, with the possible exception Of
"Cy" Macdonald. 1t is remembered that
Haa5Iboe, Macdonald, and Brown were
out Of the game last Saturday, and there
days trip on account OF the heavy ex-
pense Of taking twenty men TO New
York. However, Manager Cornell Is a
full-hlooded sport. and his word. where
his baseball team is concerned, Is law.
and he stated yesterday TO the writer
that all OF the boys would go along.
The team will take the o'clock train
over the Baltimore & Ohio, and the boys
are expected 10 gather at Union Station
at 6:45. Umpire shorty Hughes VIII
also be a member Of the squad, as he
VIII be one Of the umpires in the game.
Charley King and II. V. Shurtleif. OF
the OPaperhangers' outfit, left Washing
ton for New York Thursday morning 10
make the final arrangements for to-day's
clash. Washington will play the second
game OF the doubleheader, New York
clashing with Philadelphia at o'clock,
and the local aggregation getting into
harness at 4:15.
The lineup Of the New Workers an
nounced by their manager Is as follows:
Maver, shortstop; Carrier. center field;
.
Findlay. second base; Hsnlon. third base:
Metz. right field; Compton, left field;
H. Findiay, pitcher,
W. Findlay made three hits in the
game last Saturday-watch him to-day
Expecting a hard rub, Manager Cornell
will send big Phil Buscher % the cen
ter Of the mound TO heave the pellets
across for his team. The rest OF the line
Up will be as follows: Noyes. catcher:
King. first base; Moran. second base;
Salb. shortstop; Brown or Kinney, third
base; Hapdiboe or Keane. left field;
Marcerpn, center field; PhIpps, right field
"Cy' Macdonald win not be used unless
he is needed.
1t will be hard TO beat the crowd Of
1900 which turned out in Quaker Town
Saturday to see the opening game. but a
good gathering is expected.
Many. many years ago, whenever big
victory had been won. a great battle
fought. or when the Goddess Of Luck had
smiled with an especially sweet saalle
upon the brawny sons OF old Rome,
the Romans would gather to celebrate
and make merry With wine and choice
viands.
Tonight, in much the same way, a
party OF over $50 will gather around the
banquet board TO celebrate the success of
the Petworth baseball team on the dia-
mond during the past year. The twenty
or more lanky. hungry-looking ball toss
ers who have proudly borne the eight
magic letters which spell Petworth on
their shirts all the season will be the
honored guests at the home OF Lefty
Clayton. They will bring their best girls
and their mammas and papas will be pres
ent TO see that they behave. The Baby
Dolls" as the Petworth team has come
to be known, will make merry in song
and story; will have all that they can eat.
and all the fun that they can stand to-
night at the hour OF eight
The banquet will be at the residence
of Lefty" Clayton. the husky left
fielder Of the Suburban crew. and. re-
membering other pleasant evenings spent
at the Claytons, every one invited is look
Ing forward TO the affair with pleasure.
Over $50 invitations have been issued by
the board II directors of the club, and
thus far nc one has signifed his OF her
intention OF staying away. There Will
be speeches. of course. some long. some
short. and some dry. but after the hur-
raining and yelling, the speech making.
and story telling. there will be plenty to
eat. After the inner man is satisfied
the young people viii dance away the late
hours Of the evening. The celebration
planned is fitting one to wind up a
year OF achievement on the diamond. I'm
