PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April 29.-The
Washington team departed from this city
last night for Boston after breaking its
losing streak by we'll earned victory
over the worlds champions. Coombs
failed to spring a repeater. as was ex-
pected by Manager Mack. who shifted his
pitching program owing to the good work
the iron man did against the Nationals
early in the week. Walter johnson did
not use his terrific speed in the early
stages OF the game. but he reserved
his best fire until the last three innings,
when he had 30 much smoke on the bali
that the hard-hittins White Elephants
were helpless.
To Ainsnith belongs considerable of
the credit for enabling the Nationals to
leave town with the victory. for 1t was
Johnson's new battery partner who sent
in the two runs which won the game in
the seventh inning with a single to cen
ter field.
Baker who got the only hit for extra
bases during the contest, poled out his
sixth home run over the right field fence.
Only nine balls have been driven over
this fence, Cree. Easterly and Murphy
each having done this once. Baker broke
his record against the Nationals, as this
was the first time he has ever made two
over-the-fence drives in the same series.

AGGIES OFF TO PENN.
Relay Team to Run in Events on
Franklin Field,

The Maryland Agricultural College re-
lay team left this morning for Philadel-
phia. where it will run this afternoon in
the University Of Pennsylvania relay
races. The team left this morning on
the early train and will return late to-
night.
For the last three years the farmers
have been especially successful on the
track. and out Of three trips to the Quaker
city have captured one first and two Sec
ond places, a remarkable record when It
Is considered that some of the best relay
teams In the country compete in the an
nual game Last year the Aggies won
first place in rather easy fashion, but this
year it is doubtful IL the four will be able
to do as we'll
The four men who will compose the team
are Duckett. Kemp. Augustus and Morris.
Duckett and Morris are 10th members OF
last years team, while Kemp was a sub
on the same four. Augustus Is a new
man. So far this season the team has not
suffered defeat, and II it were going to
run against the same teams II did last
season could probably win again. but as
1t is the school has been raised a notch in
the classification, and the competition

McAleer will choose Gray and Street
for his battery. Manager Donovan viii
probably send Joe Wood against the Ma
tionals. with Nemamaker, the new catch
er. back OF the plate. This choice Of
backstop is made imperative owing to tho
crippled condition of the Boston catching
stan. Carrigan has his right leg in =

ision with knight in Thursdays game.
Maddens arm is lame and kleinow has
not recovered from his injury received
on the opening day. Otherwise the bos
ton team IL in pretty fair shape though
ii doesn't look any too well at best.
Manager McAleer appears satisfied to
let his outfield remain with Milan. Con-
roy and Lelivelt. He speaks we'll OF
cunningham work at second. and has
all the fight any one could expect OF
manager trying TO bring his team along.
McAleer's respect for the Athletics is
hea rty. The champions have hit the
ball hard against his team. and h"
realizes that in the Boston bunch his
men face batters Who have been lining
them out some as well. even If tire
hits have been in hard luck.
The Boston fans are base ball mad
this spring. over 10000 having passed
the turnstile since the team returned.
Washington is a favorite here, and the
crowd today is apt to be the largest
of the season.

make a good showing on this trip they
are apt to be figured out Of the race so
far AS the pennant Is concerned. True.
they will have long stretch of games at
home in June. but at the rate the Detroit
team is going ii will have a comfortable
lead by that time. and Is it is a good
road team, the fact that Ii is on foreign
grounds will not make any material diff
ference.
Ban Johnson's declaration that training
trips are made too early and the season
started too soon probably means that be-
fore next spring rolls around there will
be an agreement reached between the
clubs Of the American League changing
these conditions materially. At any rate.
it will not be difficult to change the time
for going south In the spring, though
there is apt to be some opposition when
it comes to changing the time for open
ing the season, for this requires the
sanction Of the National League. which
die Of April, in the face OF much oppo-
sition from time to time, and ii is not
apt to change now. That too much time
is spent in training ball players stands
to reason. 1t should not require a player
more than two weeks to fit himself for
the campaign. and yet as much as six
weeks are put I'm in the spring training
of the major league teams.
There is one exception which proves
that this is unnecessary The Pittsburg
veterans, Is always the last team to go
into training. and yet it is always a con-
tender and never has much trouble get
ting away in the spring. The Pirates put
in about three weeks every spring and
always toe the scratch ready to put up
their best game.
Manager Clarke has his players spend
a week at West Baden. where the water
cure does wonders. Then two weeks at
Hot Springs and the team is ready. Only
very few exhibition games are played,
but this fact seems never to have handi-
capped the Pirates.
BY making a good showing in the four
games the Nationals have to play in
Boston the present trip will not be near
as poor a one the games in Philadel-
phia seemed to indicate il would be. Bos
ton is not strong this year as il was
last, and If the Nationals get good pitch
ing. they stand an excellent chance OF
winning from the Hubites.
