Carrying 1OS pounds and with Ofain in

stable companion, Tom Hayward. in the
betting, won the Florida special at one
mile and a quarter this afternoon, Count

The three finished neckS apart. The race
was run in 2:05, beating the track record
for the distance by three-fifths Of a sec

meeting.
To a good start Donald Mcdonald was

the latter soon raced to the front and

There was no change in these positions
as they entered the back stretch, but q

and Countless took command. while
A sixteenth out it was still The Nigger's
race, but Aylmer was coming like a
whirlwind, with Countless at his throat
latch. In the next few strides The Niger
was done for, and Aylmer dashed under
the wire with Countless at his throat
latch and The Niger only neck away.

Defeats Cairo Athletic Club Nine by
Good Hitting, II to 5.

Western High opened its base ball sea-
son yesterday by defeating the Cairo
Athletic Club team by II to s. Owing to
the scanty amount of practice each nine
has had the work was very erratic.
The winner, though. was scarcely ever
in doubt, as the high school lads led all
the way.
Both teams hit exceptionally well for
so early in the season, the club aggre-
CATION getting nine safeties off the two
Western twirlers. while the Red and
White touched up the opposing beavers
for fifteen. In the seventh inning, with
the bases full, McArdle cleaned up with
a home run.
The Cairo team was composed of old
high and prep school stars, Dawson,
Guy, Hillyer and Stone al playing on
last years Western nine.
Scoleld struck out eight men In the
five innings in which he officiated on the
slab. Once with the bases full he set
three men down on strikes.

ATLANTA. Ca, March 18-If Manager
McAleer has his way the Nationals will
remain in Atlanta until day or so be-
fore the season opens. He wired Prest-
dent Noyes this morning that he thought
it would be a mistake to come to Wash
ington and take a chance of practicins
on either Union League Park or George
.tow2 Field. and that he though it best to
remain here until such time as it would
be possible to work out on National
Park. which would hardly be more than a
day or SO before the season is to COM
mence.
McAleer fears that all that has been
accomplished by the trip here may be
lost by going home and working out on
field which has not had proper care.
The exhibition. games, Of course. must
be declared of. for there Is no place to
play them, and he figures that 1t will be
best to remain here until the season
opens, thus keeping his team in perfect
condition.

crowd expected him to fan every man

II the Nationals remain here until a day

not get a chance to play many exhibition

The latest to be added to the players
workouts is sliding practice. McAleer

an hour, and as result there as a few
bruised hips and limbs. McAleer wants
to teach his players the art of avoiding a
baseman. John Henry is proving a most
apt pupil. and his sliding reminds one
very much of Frank Chance of the Cubs.
1t Is not intended, however, to have the
players indulge in sliding practice every
day. for 1t is bit too strenuous for them,
