DONE" is the attitude taken by United
States Attorney John f. Laskey in
reference to the boxing exhibitions
which were scheduled to be held at
Convention Hall tonight at the initial
opening Of the Capital City Athletic
Club, but even this harsh and unrea-
sonable ruling from the District Attor-
ney's did not faze Joe Freemen. the
matchmaker of the newly organized
local club.
Upon this announcement Freemen
started out with a will and after pull

er members OF his club that 1t could
not be done.

which had planned to witness the contest.

Lawrence Phillips. the manager OF the
MARYLAND Athletic Club at Ardmore, to
take over the enterprise.

Jim Shaw toiled on the mound. and In
the ninth with Booth Hopper doing the
honors, gave the National Leaguers, all
the runs they needed.
Two of Washington's three runs were
lucky, muffed fly balls paving the way
for the tallies. Shaw and Hopper. who
worked three and six innings, respective

look as good as Smith and Dell. the
youngsters who shared box honors for
Brooklyn.
Shaw could not get his curve ball work.

nicked him for five runs. He was also
trifie wild, and this, together with bad
peg by Gandil, aided the opposition in Its
hunt for runs.
Hopper got away nicely for two in
nings, but in the ninth his own weird
peg, a wild heave by Pick and four well
placed singles sent over three runs before
the side could be retired.
There was one play yesterday that
brought the small crowd to its feet. and
the cheering was long and loud after the
dust had cleared away.

first base, the result of a walk, Myers,

under the weather and Manager Grif-
fifth gave him a day off. Douglas Mem.

shoes at shortstop. accepting nine
chances without an error. Charley
Pick also held down left field in place

Worlds Champion Braves
Play the Griffmen Today
Boehling and Johnson Likely
to Do the Pitching for
Home Team.
OTHER SPORT COMMENT

The Boston Braves. champions of the
world, will appear here today and to-
morrow against the Nationals. and Grif-
fifth will not only present his best team
afield, but will order Joe Boehling and
Walter johnson to the slab.
Reports from the South would indicate
that the Braves, who have been consid-
erably strengthened by the addition OF
Sherwood Magee. the Phillies' great slug
ger. are ready to start the 1915 campaign
in first-class condition physically.
Manager George Stallings. the Miracle
Man. will be on the bench directing his
forces and the Beaneaters will attempt
to wipe out the sting Of defeat admins
tered by the Grifr forces here in the ex-
hibition games last spring.
1t could not be learned last night from
Manager Staliings who would be in the
box for the Braves today. Stallings, as
a rule, does not announce his pitchers In
advance, but Dick Rudolph and Bill
James. worlds series heroes, will more
than likely be called upon 10 snow what
they can do.
Manager Robinson. of the Brooklyn
club. was mighty well pleased with the
showing of his team here the past two
days against Griff's American Leasuers.

pitchers who will wilma lot of ball games

open the season with any one of this
bunch
Robby also paid the Nationals a COM
pliment. He declared that Griff had his
club in mighty good shape and should
have little trouble in getting away to a
flying start.
Henry Rondeau was sent i'm to pinch
hit for Hopper in the ninth inning yester-
day and the crowd gave him quite hand.
Rondeau's best was a line drive to Hum

fined Artie Hoffman SO the other day for
smoking a cigarette. Hoffman, who has
an ironclad contract with the club, an
nounced that he would quit rather than
submit to this alleged injustice. Mages
declared that If Robert b. Ward should
sustain Hoffman he would resign from the
teams management Magee appears to
be hunting for trouble. He has been at
odds with the Brookfeds' policy ever
since the opening Of the training season.

young man will regret that he jumped
