Bel Air Court Rules Against Him in
Favor of Stewards.

BEL AIR, Nd. May AT the con-
clusion of the injunction proceedings
yesterday in the Hartford county cir
cult court, filed by Jesse w. Hedrick,
jr. in which he asked the court to re-
strain the Hartford County Agricultural
and Breeders Association from refus-
ing his entries at the Havre de Grace
track, Judge Harlan promptly signed
an order dissolving the proceedings. In
deciding against Hedrick Judge Har-
Ian stated in substance that from the
testimony adduced in the case he was
of the opinion that the stewards Of the
Havre de Grace track-W. S. Eosberg
and C. ]. Fitzgerald--did not act arbi-
trarily in refusing the Hedrick entries.
He said. further. that the stewards eN-
ercised proper discretion in disqualify-
ing the petitioner on their suspicion,
growing out of alleged fraudulent
practices INDUCED in at the track.

The best set rolled by auint in the
bowling tourney last night was that Of
Navy Yard, which secured mark of
l,o41. No other club registered total
as high as 1900, and three fell below
400. The bowling in general was much
below the standard Of the previous part
of the tournament.
S. Oliveri went to the front in class C
singles, rolling for a total of 305. He dis
placed Henderson, who had a set of 296
to his credit
The bowling in the doubles was rather
mediocre, comparatively speaking. The
best set gotten by the teams of two
was that of Williamson and McWhorter-
$50. Williamson rolled for 304, while
McWhorter got only 292.
Whalley did the best bowling in the
class A singles knocking down 1874 pins.
He obtained counts of liz and 124 in his
first contests. but in the third fell to SO.

BY j. ED GRILLo.

BOSTON May Manager Grlfhth Is
in a uuandary as to which one of his
pitchers he will use in the opening
game of the series here today. but 1t is
a pretty safe guess that Bert Galiia
will be his selection. The Texan mas

that Griffith has every confidence IN
him and he proposes to work nm reg
ularly.
There is nothing known AS 10 whlch
of his pitchers Carrigan Will use. but
the tip is that it will be Foster. who
always has been troublesome for the
Nationals
The fact that the Nationals got INTO
their batting stride yesterday against
Wyckoff has given Griffith much en-
fragment and he is confident his
team will hit lot better henceforth
than il has at any time this spring. IN
which event he predicts victories VIII

He is gratif1ed at having won three
out of four from the Nackmen. an am
,,ition which he never realized during
his former clashes with the Athletics.
Rondeau's single in the first was
cIean-cut blow which travelled with
great speed into left field. 1t produced
two runs and incidentally made it pos
Sible for the Nationals to get four
runs in this inning. 4 fairly SAFE lead

PHILADELPHIA May L. - Frank
Baker viii not play with the Upland
team in the opening game of the cham

ty League this afternoon Yesterday
Manager Miller of Upland received a
telegram from Baker. in which he said
that he had fallen down flight OF
stairs at his home at Trappe, Md. and
broken a rib.
1t was said that the reported salary
of 500 a week for Baker does Frank
an injustice. The exact amount OF pay
given the famous third baseman was
not announced, but it is admitted that
it is considerably more than 500 a
