Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOT SPRINGS. Ark, March a.
Jupiter Pluvius knocked out today's
matinee between the Brooklyn Trolley
Dodgers. and Prosecuting Attorney Wood
Torrance between the two aggrega-
tions. Hot Springs did not have any
Sunday lid last season, and the lid goes
on again, though up to O'Clock this
evening all concerned were confident
that .tomorrow's contest would be
staged, per program. Judge Wood at
that hour not only stated that there
would not be any game at Wilmington
Park, but added that If the players even
went so far as to put on their uniforms
and wend their way out to the grounds
he would have all hands "pinched"
Judge Wood is carded to go out of
office with happy hurrah April Is, but
until then he evidently intends con-
tinuing as a car. He is Hot Springs
most disliked citizen. and the citizens
swear by all that is holy that they will
roll him at the coming election. How
ever, Wood is still in Office and on the
job. and Hot Springs is certainly going
to be without any Sunday base ball
this season. Manager Dahlen Of the
Trolley Dodgers stated tonight that he
would challenge the All-Americans for
two fresh battles. same to be played
next Thursday and Saturday
Germany Schaefer, the monarch of the
All-Americans, slater that the def would
be accepted. Hence. next Thursday and
saturday, weather permitting the Troll
ley Dodgers and All-Americans will fight
their two overdue scraps.
1t was clear and bright this morning
and Bill Dahlen gave his squad a brief
workout at Wilmington Park. Wee Will
lie Keller. one of base balls finest old
foxes. is handling DahIens broflers and
watching for result. Right away Wee
Willie showed the youngsters how to
choke their bats when hitting and
how to crowd the plate.
But there will be more than one Ameri-
can League and National club owner
who will be sorry before the coming
campaign is over that he did not engage
Keller as his manager when Wee Willie
was angling for a club of his own. Eddie
Phelps, who helped to get Rodger Bres-
nahan started in st. Louis. is also one
of Aahlen's bowers. "Chink'' has charge
of the young batterymen and he. too, was
as busy as bee in this mornings prac-
tice. The Red Sox in town, to wit
Clyde Engle, did some fifteen miles in
some three hours up in the mountains
this morning
Pitchers knetzer and Kent reported to
Manager Dahlen tonight. and now Pitcher
Cy Barger is the only Brooklyn absentee.
He gets married in Kentucky next Thurs
day and evidently intends bringing his
bride over to training quarters with him.
Catcher TOnneman, a former Red Sox
left today to join the New York High
landers In Atlanta. Ga. He is big,
rangy boy and caught some very good
bail Tor the Ail-Americans in their recent
series with the All-Nationals. AS Wolver-
ton has Street and Sweeney, Tonneman
can scarcely get work in New York How
ever. he looks good enough for the big
arena, and Bobby Wallace could do worse
| than grab onto him if he gets the chance.
