Forgetting number of outs

OF all the foolish situations ever pre-
scented on a major league baseball field,
there have been few that have surpass-
ed that scene at National Park in the
seventh inning yesterday, when the Ma
tionals thought there were three out,
when as a matter of fact there had
been but two men retired.
There was such a difference between
the teams In the matter of scores that
few Of the spectators were following the
plays as close as usual, put wnen the
blunder was exposed, the Nationals had
to stand for a laugh from the whole
crowd.
And the funny part of the whole at
fair was the fact that some OF the
wisest members Of the club were those
who were fooled.

That victory of the Philadelphia club
over the Chicago team, together with
the defeat of Detroit, gave the Athletics
another shove toward the lead in the
American League.

Sunday baseball.

Kid Carsey, who pitched here a year
ago, was in today to say that he has
made ARRANGEMENTS to take charge of
the Sunday baseball at River View.
Carsey's plan is to have two OF the
strongest teams in Washington to play
at the resort every Sunday, starting
next Sunday, for the next two months.
Considering the attractive ride and
the fact that a ball game can be seen
on the first day of the week. it Is ex-
pected that Carsey's plan will draw
well.

Southern Maryland Fair Association
Refused Permit by Judge Beall.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, April ID
All prospects for a horse race meeting
here this spring were blasted today, when
Judge Fillmore Beall Of the circuit court
denied the application of the Southern
Maryland Fair Association to hold a
meeting for fifteen days, starting May Is.
Judge Beall gave no reason for the de-
cision, but it is a severe jolt to the race
loving people in Washington and south
ern Maryland. The board of directors of
the fair association will meet Monday,
but it is not thought probable that any
action will be taken looking to an appeal
from the courts ruling.
The law under which the application
was made was passed in 1898. giving the
fair association authority to hold racing
by the courts sanction. There is said to
be some question as to the constitutional
ity of this act, but 1t is not believed the
fair association will test the question at
this time.
There is an old law, passed about 1890.
which authorizes the fair association in
the state to hold racing for thirty days
in connection with agricultural fairs.
Whether the fair association will take
cognZance Of this act is doubtful Last
fall the Southern Maryland Racing AS
ISOLATION, of which T.. N Elrod is man.
ager, held a ten-day meet under the char
ter of the fair association, which was
highly successful. The fair association
contracted with the race people to get
them a license for three years, but this
contract was conditioned upon favorable
action by the court of Upper Marlboro.
This action being unfavorable, it looks
as though the racing game in Prince
Georges county is dead.

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK
TEAMS HARD AT WORK
Both Central and Western
vii! Have Full Squads En-
tered in Coming Meets.

Two of the local high school track
teams will settle down to hard work
during the coming week, in prepara-
ton for the meets which are to be held
this spring. 1t is certain that Central
will enter its full quota in every set
Of games pulled off in this section dur
ing the coming outdoor season, while
Western expects to send it's squad into
at least three. The former has already
started work outdoors, while the latter
was scheduled to begin yesterday, but
the rain baked the training.
The first meet to be entered will be
the intercollegiate and interscholastic
ginia every year. They will take place
nine men. Those who will make the
probably be entered are as follows:
Hamilton, Pollard brothers and Kelly
in the 440; Curry in the high jump.
Hunt and Blackstone in the hurdles.
Hunt in the pole vault. Dyson and
Lawrence in the mile and Reuter- in
that owing to the poor condition of
the grounds it has almost been impos-
sible to get the right kind of work.
outs outdoors. and the team is not in
tended by Western to take the trip, but
this has since been deemed inadvisable,
as the men have been unable to get
the training necessary for good work
on the track.
Central and Western will each have its
full squad in the Georgetown, Johns
Hopkins and Maryland Agricultural Col
lege games. The first mentioned are to
be held May 6. the second May 13 and
the third May 20. Thus it may be seen
that the teams will not lack for plenty
of open competition. Western may take
the trip to the University of Pennsylvania
relay games May 20, although it has not
yet been definitely decided. 1t was
announced lately that notwithstanding
all reports to the contrary the Central
team will not take the trip. The coach
stated that it was next to impossible to
get the men in good condition in the
limited time before the races, and that
were it possible there is not a suitable
track available for the men to train on.
The last two events of the year will be
the spring meet.
Just what program the other high
schools have mapped out is unknown, al
though it is hardly probable that much
will be done during the early season.

GOOD BALL CLUB COULD BE

Make Good in Faster Company.

made a good record with the Goldsboro
club last season; Marceron, who tied
with Hayes for the leadership OF the
Capital City League last year: Murphy
are good men in the field and with the
bat. and numerous others.
The pitching staff would be the hardest
of any to pick, as on that would de-
pend to a great measure the result Of
the work Of the other men. However. 1t
might be mentioned that Sam EdmOn-
ston, who will not play this year for the
first time in many seasons; Fienlt Of
Georgetown, Green and Ryan of Catholic
University and Gallagher, who did good
would not be poor choices. These five
men should be able to give a good ac-
count of themselves, and, in fact, would
probably be able to win a majority Of
their games in any class D or G league.
A game will be played this afternoon
at Union League Park between the ALL
Stars and the Adams Express Company gs
will be composed Of players picked from
among the amateurs of this city. The
game should be good one. as some Of
the best talent in the city will be in uni
form in the All-Stars' lineup.
The Olympia League had meeting
yesterday to decide as to the arrange
ments to be made in regard to it's
GROUNDS 1Or the coming season. IL was
decided on how large the stands should
be, in what direction the diamond would
face and one or two other unimportant
features pertaining to the grounds were
settled satisfactorily.
1t has not been decided as yet just
what team will get the vacant franchise
in the league. although it is fairly GER
tain that 1t will go to either the Navy
Department Reserves or the BraddOck
Athletic Club, both of which clubs made
applications for the place some time ago.
Green of Catholic University is fast
rounding into form, as Is shown by the
fact that he is pitching better ball in
every game in which he essays to do the
box honors. Yesterday his performance
in trimming the Columbia team was es-
pecially meritorious when the condition
of the grounds and the rocky support
afforded him by his team mates is con-
Sidered.
The game scheduled for yesterday
afternoon between the Georgetown and
Princeton teams was called off at the in
stigation of both managers. After the
rain which fell during the morning there
was little chance for the two mines to
get together. owing to the fact that the
grounds being poorly drained were not in
condition that was conducive to good
base ball.
The game scheduled for tomorrow will
be played, and 1T is fairly certain that
the two coaches will use the same two
men who were slated to do the mound
honors yesterday.

SOUTHERN RAIL WAY
DUCKPIN LEAGUE
Standing of Teams.

BY taking two games from the Tie and
Timber aggregation, the Managers safely
lead the eleven teams in this circuit, and
are virtually awarded the championship
for this season.. Claim and Tie and Tim
Der are hanging close together, and upon
the result of their next set hinges the
honor Of being second or third best
Unexpected happenings during the week
have made the race tighter, and the fol-
lowers Of the league can look for a close
finish
The Managers, conceded by all as the
champions of 1911, easily deserve their
victory. as shown by the figures in the
hands of the official scorer. Not only
do they lead in team average by a good
ly majority, but in the individual records
are found many holders who are MEM
oers of the Managers squad. Fegan,
holder of high set and leader in the in
dividual averages, is also ahead of them
all in spares. Fahnestock and Downey
are fighting it out for the honor Of be-
ing second to Fegan in the individual
averages. Everhart leads the league in
greatest number Of strikes by safe
margin. Mason and Parke. who have
alternated during the season as the fifth
men, are both dependable. and bowling
at a good pace.
The season will close April % wnen
the Paymasters will meet the Mechanical
aggregation. and until that time the fol-
lowers of the league can be assured that
hard-fought games will make an inter-
esting finish. The Mechanical aggrega
ton has been greatly strengthened by
the addition of Brandt a bowler of some
local fame. Brandt in his first set av-
eraged 1O2. but expects to end the season
with higher mark.
The committees having in charge the
arrangement of the second annual ban
quet made their reports at a recent meet
ing which crystalliZed into the fact that
the affair will be held May in the
banquet rooms of the New Fredona. 1t
is anticipated that the affair of this
season will eclipse the effort of last year.
and to this end the work of the various
committees is being directed.
1t is rumored that the league next year
will be run on a section basis. The
probable addition of four more teams,
making the total sixteen, will necessi-
tate the splitting up of the teams and
forming two sections, or leagues, with
the winners in each section playing off
for the championship. This of course.
is a matter which will be brought up
only when the applications Of new teams
are made.
The schedule for this week is as fol-
lows:

A mighty good ball club could be pick
ed from among the local colleges and
amateur bali clubs There is hardly any
doubt that such a team could be taken
from the amateur ranks by some one who
was familiar with the peculiar abilities
Of each man. and If put in a minor league
would be able to hold its own, and would
be dangerous factor in any circuit that
does not class higher than the Virginia
state. It is certain that a team picked
as mentioned would not be an easy mark
for the best of the teams in the class c
and leagues. Two years ago when the
Winchester club took a trip through Vir-
ginia playing the Virginia State League
teams 1t won about as many games as it
lost. and the same was true Of the Fred
ericksburg team. which beat the Rich
mond club in a series during the fall.
Suppose. for instance, that a team
from among the local clubs were chosen,
1t would not only be made up Of players
who are young. and have only their
natural ability and little experience. but
there would also be some who have done
excellent work on professional ball clubs,
and have quit the game for somethingj
better.
Begin with third base and take two or
three men at random as candidates for a
PiShCO Cluu. lHcIc Is NduSHIl, D. 1OTTeF
Southern Lacquer. who played third for
the Cornell Company last year; Davis of
the American Security and Trust Com
pany, and Hurley of the Commissioners.
Either Of the three men mentioned would
be able to put up great game around
the hot corner with a good club built
around him.
For short there would be "Skeets"
Hayes of the American Security and
Trust Company, Gibson Of Georgetown
and Johnny Salb of the Cornell Com
pany. All three of the men mentioned
for the shortfield position have had con-
siderable experience, and should do well
in the position. especially Hayes, who
is far above the average In that place
For second base there would be Charley
Moran, or either of the other infielders
who are mentioned for short or third
could be shifted to that position.
At first there would be but two men
who would have to be considered, and
they are Dutch Hessler and Cy Mac
Donald. Both big fellows were with the
Winchester club when it took it's trip
through Virginia, and both still show the
same ability with the STICK az then. In
the first part of the present season
Hessler did not play up to his regular
form, but he is getting into his stride
now, and is hitting the ball at the same
old clip.
There would be wealth of material
for the outfeld. Billy Keane OF
the Cornell Company is fast a good
fielder, and yields the stick well. Be-
sides him there are numerous other men.
among them being "AT' Handiboe. who
