difference what the occasion may be, FOs-

not try to place the ball. He starts In
here in the spring practicing right and
left field hitting, and while he does not

all corners of the lot, he trains his eye
for the work which makes him SO eff

MARSHALL CAN'T LOSE NOW.
Worst American Can Get by Final
Play Today Is Tie for First.

HAVANA, March Ga clean sweep was
made OF all the adjourned games in the
chess tournament here yesterday, so that
everything is in readiness for the final
round today. Frank j. Marshall. United
States champion, will enter the final
stage with full point advantage over
Jose r. Capablanca, the Cuban cham
pion. so that he needs but to draw his
final game with Janowski in order to
emerge winner Of the chief prize.
Both Marshall and Capablanca won
their unfinished games from the thir-
teenth round the former defeating Blanco
after a hard game lasting fifty-eight
moves, while Capablanca downed Janow-
ski In fifty-two moves. This gave Mar
shall q total Of ten and q half points and
Capablanca nine and q half points. The
best the latter can do now Is to tie for
first in case he should win today and
Marshall should lose.
Janowski, who all along has been an
unknown quantity, az he had lost COM
paratively few games, was put out OF the
running yesterday In consequence OF his
defeat by Capablanca. He also lost to
Chajes in fOrty-five moves. but defeated
Blanco in forty-seven. In the other
games Chajes won from Jaffe in sixty
two moves, and the Jaffe-Corzo game was
drawn In seventy-one moves. The scores

GEORGETOWN SQUAD
IS BEING INCREASED
New Men Coming Out for the
Team Almost Every
Day.

After resting three days the George
town base ball squad again took the field
yesterday afternoon and worked out un-
der the direction Of Capt. Fury. Coach
Harley. who has been here for the last
few days. was suddenly called to his
home in Philadelphia yesterday morning
to attend to his business. He will be on
hand though today and will remain with
the squad until the end Of the year.
About twenty-five men took the field
yesterday, and 1t is safe to say that
Georgetown will have one Of the best
teams that 1t has had in recent years.
There are about four men out for every
position and it might be said right here
that some Of the men that held down po-
s.tions on last years team will have to
fight hard this year to keep some Of the
youngsters from making their positions.
There has been considerable talk about
Inky Davis not playing for Georgetown
yesterday, and was the only veteran
missing from the squad. Graduate Mama
ger Walsh stated definitely that the fac
ulty would not allow him to play on the
team this spring If they knew that he
haC signed q contract with Cincinnati
After batting the ball around for over
an hour, Capt. Fury picked out an IN
field. This Is the first time that any OF
the team has been allowed to practice
on the diamond. Usually the squad does
not work on the regular field until after
they have been outside for a few days.
Capt. Fury had Mulcahy playing first
base. Daley second base. Martin short
stop. and Connolly on third base. Hol-
lander, the shortstop on the varsity team,
did not participate in the workout. Young
Newbar. st. Joseph's College. Philadel-
phia, worked out at the plate with Tay-
lor. the former catcher of the Williston
Seminary team, EasthamptOn, Mass. This
new infeld showed up well. considering
that they have only been on the field only
twice before.
Manager Harrington Of the team pro-
poses to secure the services Of Ground
keeper Fitzgerald of the Washington
base ball club to place the field in play
ing condition. Last year Mr.. Fitzgerald
took up the task OF making real dia-
mond on the hilltop. and 1t can be said
that he had q very good tnfield before
the season had started. Because Of this,
Manager Harrington intends to have him
on hand this year. and will allow him to
fix the diamond to suit himself.

COLLEGES HAVE
GOOD PITCHERS
Local Institutions Should Turn
Out Capable Hurting Stats
This Spring.
GEORGETOWN LOOKS
TO HAVE GOOD BUNCH
Each School Has Star TWirIer
of Last Season to
Build Around.
By II. c. BYRD.

High-class pitching should feature the
majority of the contests in which local
college base ball teams figure this spring.
Each Of the squads has at least one
man who has been the mainstay in the
box for two or three years and also sew
eral recruits who have regulations as
capable performers. There is not a school
that should not be represented by very
creditable pitching staff.
Up at Georgetown 1t is reported that in
years there has not been the wealth OF
material for box work that there is at
present. Not only are there on hand two
or three men who did creditable work
last season, but there is at least one per-
son who comes with one Of the best rec
ords OF the pitchers who have entered
the school. ~
i It is very probable that Fienle win do
the bulk of the work. He has shown
himself to be very effcient: more % than
any other man who is now eligible to
wear the Blue and Gray. Heffernan, a
left-hander, who played last year. but did
not work in very many games, is really q
very creditable pitcher and will do much
toward giving Georgetown successful
season. He is much better than the aver.
age college twirler and that he is left
handed will work much in his favor.
College men generally find left-handed
pitchers harder to hit than the right
handlers. To I'LL out the staf the Blue
and Gray has another man who Is In
his first year at the school. He is Kelly,
who played one Of the halfback positions
on the foot ball team during part OF last
fall. 1t Is said Of Kelly that he has the
stuff and will show an ability that has
been entirely unexpected once he gets on
the field and in shape. Two or three
alumni OF Georgetown, who have seen
Kelly pitch, say that he Is an exception
ally clever performer, and will find little
trouble beating the majority OF the coll

Honecker Aggies' Mainstay.

The Maryland Aggies have Hoffecker,
who has done practically all the pitching
for them since he entered school two
years ago. He will likely be the most
reliable man on the Farmers star this
year. He has proved chat In the past
and there is no reason why he should
not De even better this season. Lepper.
q left-hander. has done some pitching,
but what he can really do il a question.
There are two new men. either ,of whom
may be capable performer. They are
Loomis. who pitched for the Western
High nine last spring. and Hindman. who
did some pitching for Tome Institute.
Loomis showed enough ability against
the high school teams to warrant pre-
diction that he. will make good. provided
he gives evidence Of any Improvement at
all The other two men are little known,
and nothing can be said OF them until
they have shown their ability In real
games.
Gallaudet has the same three men back
to do its pitching this season that II had
last. They are Battiste, Moore and Ras-
mussen. The first mentioned Of the trio
Is really a clever performer. and with

games In which he works. He has enough
stuff to beat any college nine when he IL

liams every one OF the other new men
Is left-handed hitter. In batting practice
when the youngsters are at work 1t is but
rarely that any batter hits from the
right side Of the place. 1t is a case of
one left-hander after the other. a fact
which Is none too pleasing to Grifith
who wants more right-handers than left
handlers on his team.
Alien, the young man secured from
Sharon. Pa. last fall Is going to class
well up with the fast men OF the league
it Is doubtful II any one of the older
members of the team. not even barring
Milan or Moeller. can outsprint him to
first base. He is wonderfully fast on his
feet. a left-handed hitter and great
thrower He Is sure to demand considera-
ton when the outfield Is selected, for he
has all the earmarks Of making a big
Lacquer.
The youngsters worked out twice yes
terday. while the veterans took only
morning practice, resting during the aft
ernoon- This because 1t was their first
day In camp. But beginning today both
teams Will work out both morning and
afternoon. and beginning the latter part
or the week games will be played both
morning and afternoon. Last night after
dinner Grinth gave his players their first
instructions az to what will be expected
OF them during the remainder OF the
training season. ALI hands must be In
their rooms by 1890 at night. and there
must be no loud talking or noise after
that hour. Strict attention to business
will be expected. and under no circum-
stances will dissipation OF any kind be
tolerated. The players have been given
TO understand that any one who violates
the training rules 10 the slightest degree
Will be shipped home at once and sus-
pended. Grifith also divided his players
into two squads. each Of which will be
divided into teams which will be pitted
against each other. Two teams will be
made up of young players and two OF the
veterans. and games will be played every
day when the weather permits.
No team ever struck finer weather than
greeted 1t here yesterday. The sun was
bright and really hot. and II seems COM

c. q. Twirlers Look Good.

Catholic University will also have a
very capable hurting staff. The Brook
landers have three men who have been
working in the position at the school for
the last three years, and all have shown
form at times good enough to win any
college game. Besides these men, there
are two others who have entered this
year. and it is reported that a pitcher will
come to the Brookland school in short
while who is as capable as any other
college man in the south.
This man has been contemplating en-
tering Catholic University for some time,
and the Brooklanders are hoping that
he will come in time to play base ball.
Greene. Ryan and Clancy are the men
who have been doing the bulk OF the
pitching for the Brooklanders for the
last three seasons. During that period
all have done some very creditable work,
but, OF course. Greene has been the MAIN
stay. It has been necessary to rely upon
him in the tight places. and he has been
the choice in the most important con-
tests. He will likely be the selection in
the greater part Of the big games this
spring. and there is no reason why ne
should prove less successful than hereto
fore. Ryan and Clancy should be able
to afford him great deal Of help. Moran
and Trayers are the two new men who
will appear on the staff. It Is said OF
both Of them that they are above the
average college hurler. but not much can
really be told until after they are seen

while the players did not have to do
much work to work up a real sweat
Batting and fielding practice took up the
entire day, and the youngsters were
tired lot when the day was over, ex-
cepting, of course, Calvo and Acosta, who
have been playing all winter and are,
therefore, in excellent condition, which.
by the way, gives them q big advantage
over the players who have just started
in after about six months Of idleness.
Stars Taking It Easy.
limbered up their arms yesterday. The
Nationals pitching mainstays chased
flies in the outfield and took their turns
at bat, but rested their arms. Griff1th
proposes to have them start very easy
this spring and gradually increase their
work by the time the season opens. In
the meantime the young pitchers will
get a severe drilling every day. In order
to get them in pitching condition-as soon
as possible.
If Grifith was not familiar with the
ability Of the various players and wanted
to select q team from the material that
is here he would undoubtedly wind up
with a team OF players mono OF which
pany. On their early showing the young
fellows have it all over the vets, who al
ways start slowly and take their time
getting themselves ready for the opening
OF the season. They feel that their jobs
are secure and they take their time about
hustling. With the youngsters it is diff
ferent. They have their regulations to
make and they like to attract attention
to themselves by huStling hard and Civ
ing their boss the best they can. There
will be q big difference in about two
weeks from R0w, however, when the
Older fellows get to condition and let
.theplseNes out.
Jack Ryan. who has all the young
pitchers in hand. gives 1t as his opinion
that both Dent and Drohan stand a good
chance to make good from the outset.
because both have had just enough ex-
perience to take from them the rough
edges which the average young pitcher
always displays when he comes into fast
company Both Drohan and Dent dis
play knowledge Of the pitching art, and
while neither has let himself out, both
are rounding into shape and will be ready
to show something before the week is
out.

1t is reported on good authority
that the girls of Estancia Valley

place. When it is time for work,
they work with a will and are
accomplishing results.
On Tuesday morning when the

a good basket ball game they were
all disappointed at the sight of
the baskets, to think what some
of the young "would-be Society"
men of Belen had done the night
before. One Of the back-stops

was bent, but Prof. Gunter and
several of the boys fixed them up
right away and they had a good

Window Display Destroyed

A small blaze which might easi-
ly have done great damage but
for the fact that it was gotten
under control in its infancy,
ruined the display in the south
show window of the John Becker
Company store, Monday evening.
The window was dressed with
holiday goods, representing a
Christmas scene, and it is pre-
sumed that the clerk in lighting
the gas jet, must have dropped a
match, which set fire to the cotton
batting, used to represent the
snow. AS soon as discovered, the
clerks rushed in with the patent
fire extinguishers and soon had
the fire out, but not until the dis
play was ruined and the varnish
of the woodwork as well. The
damage will amount to about fifty
dollars, covered by insurance.
