grammar improved as he grew
older, but his spelling seemed TO
go the other way. His school

SPECIAL to The Washington Herald
Charleston, S. c, April The an
nouncement that Laurel would conduct
a thirty-day spring n.esIing. commencing
upon the termination of Pimlico, has Gre
ated furOr among the vast colony Of
horsemen who have been sojourning here
during the past winter. and its a safe
proposition TO STATE that when ihs bIE:e

the number now here will Oe counted
among those present.
General Manager Brown. who was n
visitor here yesterday. announced that
he would shortly issue the stake book
for the meeting, and had no doubt but
what the valuable prizes offered would
serve as an inducement and attract the
best horses in training in America to-
day.
There Is no question that Maryland
will witness the best racing in its career

Game, 10 to 20.
At the National Park Seminary gym.
nasium Saturday evening. the George.
town basketball squad, under the guild
ance of Coach Jim Collihower, furnished
the girls of this institution an exciting
game OF basketball. The game was be-
tween the varsity and the second teams,
and resulted in a victory for the varsity
by an overwhelming score of 40 to 6.
The game was an exciting contest. and
furnished the onlookers a great deal OF
pleasure in witnessing a real college
game of basketball.
On account OF the slippery floor the
men were not able to play the game they
are capable OF playing. Roy Walden and
Capt Schlosser furnished a good exhibit

men caging seven baskets. Billy Martin
played best for the losers.

GeorEetovn's mighty sons of swat are

Coach Sprigman gave the boys a GoSd

so that they may get chance to even
up the score with the Tigers.
As was stated yesterday, Princeton
has a team which IS liable to walk away
with the best performers in the college
sphere, and Georgetown can well feel

Princeton alumni which turned out in

Saturday afternoon will journey q the
Hilltop to-day to END announcement to
the Tigers in the hope of seeing them
make it two straight.
While some of the breaks in the game
with Princeton went against Georsetown,
it is questionable il they had Iaucn to
do with the final result. To have three
men on bases with one out and not sc)re
is surely hard luck, but with two teams
in the game some credit must go to
the other fellows. Besides, PendIeton
smacked one high as a house to deep CEN
ter which would ordinarily have counted
for home run, and the ball struck in
the trees, holding him At third base.

Princeton's five runs, could hardly be

game, and Sterrett played It just right
to get results. Neither Davis nor Sitter
ding could get to the ball in time 10 head
of the runs and II looked to the writer
like a clever piece OF batting rather than
the so-called baseball luck. Greenbaum
was indeed fortunate that but one OF
the seven bases on balls he issued re-
suited in a run, but Georgetown had the
opportunity to pole the man around each
time and found Greenbaum a puzzle.

LINEUP FOR TO-DAY.
By WILLIAM PEET.

Seventh place teams OF the American
and National leagues during the season
of 1911 will fly at each others throats in
the local concrete arena at $50 O'Clock
this afternoon, when Griff's boys tackle
Charley Ebbetts' Brooklyn Trolley Dod-
gers.
Last night Manager Gririlth stated he
would pitch Carl Cashion and either Bob
Groom or Dixie Walker. Just who will
oppose the Nationals is not known. but
ii is reasonable to assume tnat Bill
Dahlen, the visiting leader. will work his
crack southpaw, Nap Rucker, during
part of the game at least, as Rucker is
slated to twirl the opening game for the
Brooklynites, and can easily stand the
work.
The naming OF Rucker is purely guess
work, as the Dodgers do not arrive in
town until to-day. Rucker did not pitch
against the Wheeling club Saturday, and
reports from the Brooklyn team state
that the southpaw is in good shape.
While the Dodgers finished seventh in
the National League race last year. they
won more games than McAleer's Wash
ington club, and experts declared that
Brooklyn was much the stronger club in
every department. even pitching, as Nap

Boehling. If he is in shape, will show
the good people of Richmond just why
ne did not care TO cast IN MS lot with
a Virginia League club. Joe believed he
could do better. which explains why he
was given a trial by Washington. BoehI-
ings work thus far has been satisfac-
tory to Boss Grittith.
The remainder of the Yannigans will
be Spencer. Cunningham, Morgan, and
Shanks in the infieId, and Long, Walker
and Guy johnson in the outheld, with
Al Williams behind the bat.
Howard Shanks is to hold down third
base. and his work will be reported to
Manager Grifith, for there is just the
possibility that the fast youngster will
be given a trial with the regular in
field this season.
