WHALERS WHALED.
Remedies Defeat the New
Bedfords, 20 to u.
Bat Two Pitchers from Box With a
Total of 81 Bases.
The WhaIers Little Thought to Strike Such a
Snag in Maine.

In spite Of the cold, stormy day, there
was good attendance at the game, yes
terday afternoon, between the Remedies
and New Bedfords. The conditions were
not specially favorable to good fielding
and errors were numerous on both sides
The Remedies had their batting
clothes on and opened up promptly on
Carr. They made four hits with total
of seven and secured four bases on balls.
Carr also hit a player with pitched ball.
AS result four runs were scored by the
Remedies. Manager Doe became con-
WINGED that change was necessary and,
substituted Friend, the crack pitcher of
the team who retired the side.
Friend is unquestionably one of the fin
est pitchers in the New England League
He has very easy delivery, coupled with
good speed and sharp curves. For the
next three innings he puzzled the Kenne-
bee batsmen. In the fifth inning how
ever, they jumped upon his delivery and,
by some timely batting and some bad
errors on the part of the visitors, secured
seven runs. During the remainder of the
game they battcd him freely and in the
ninth Captain Doc replaced him in the
box.
Dilworth was in the box for the Kenne-
bees and pitched in excellent form. In
the fourth inning the visitors touched up
his delivery for five hits, and, aided by a
succession of bad errors, scored eight runs.
Manager Burnham then put Baker into
the box at the beginning of the fifth
inning and his delivery was puzzle to
the visitors. Two runs were all they
were able TO score in the remainder of the
game. The batting of the kennebecs
was the heaviest that was ever seen on
the Augusta grounds The totals show
% with total of 81 hits
The same teams will play at the Angus
ia driving park, this afternoon, Tierney
and Kelley will be the battery for the
Remedies, and Monahan and Sharp for
the New Bedfords. The game will be a
hard fought one.
The New Bedfords are one of the
strongest teams in the league and although
they sometimes resort to tactics that are
not included in legitimate ball playing,
they are certainly in the game from start
to finish. If the weather is fair, today,
there is sure to be large attendance.

Base Ball Notes.

Captain MEG eachcy will play first base
in the game, this afternoon.
Beams play at short field, yesterday,
was of the giltedged variety.
AS second baseman, Doe can scarcely
be accounted q roaring success.
The New Bedforis have a good catcher
in Sharp and one of the best pitchers in
the league in Friend-despite the picnic
the Remedies had with his delivery, yes
terday.
Lewiston Journal: Fred Doe is sample
of the worst kind of a ball player on the
field. The reason why is this: He has no
control over his temper. One such man

every play. every man, and the ball every
moment, and gave perfect satisfaction to
the crowd. His calling down of the New
Bedfords in their sharp tricks was ap
plauded on all sides.
Sharp was given the name "Trilby" by
the crowd, and bore his blushing honors
with good -natured gracs-in fact, the big
catcher won the crowd by his good nature.
although some of his attempts at dirty
ball playing were the occasion of rather
vociferous condemnation on the part of
the spectators.
Nyce, the Boston league player. is
certainly fine third baseman; but his
beautiful infield play, yesterday, was
marred when he deliberately tripped up
Doherty at third and then sat down IN
front OF him on the base line. He richly
merited the $40 fine threatened to be i'm
posed by Umpire Hassett.

1t will be well for the patrons OF the
game to understand that it will be the
policy of the local management to play the
games scheduled when the weather will
permit. The ground dries quickly after

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Shall Heirs TO Peerages Hold Seats in The
English Parliament

London, May 10 William W. p. VOL
mer, George Nathaniel Cursor and Will
liam st. John Frederick respectively
members of Parliament for West Edin-
burg, Southwest Lancashire and Surrey,
and the eldest sons Of the Earl of Sell
borne, Lord Scarsdale and Viscount Mid
dleton, are carrying out their intention to
test the question whether heirs to pcorages
sitting rs members of the House of Com
mons are entitled to remain In that body
after they become peers
Today, Mr.. Wolmer, formerly courtesy
lord, with the title of viscount, who has
just succeeded to the peeroge in conse-
quencc of the death of bis father, Earl OF
Selborne, appeared in his accustomed place
In the House of Commons, ignoring the
fact that no had inherited q seat In the
upper House
Mr.. Dabouchere asked the Speaker
whether the peer had any right TO place
within the bar of the House of Commons.
Speaker Gully asked Viscount Wolmer.
otherwise Lord Selborne, whether he had
applied for summons to the House of
Lords.
Viscount Wolmer replied that he had not
made such applications, and furthermore
that he did not intend to do so until the
House of Commons had decided that he is
no longer member OF that body. Tho
Speaker ruled that the question had
already been decided by the House, and
called upon Lord Selborne to withdraw
behind the bar, which he did.
Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the
exchcqucr, said that in view OF the arising
OF an event so unusually and constitu-
tionally important, the House ought to
take the matter under advisement and
establish course to be pursued in regard
to such cases.
A person becoming peer, he said, must
necessarily become II lord in Parliament.
1t would be impossible for him to deprive
himself OF the seat in the House of Lords.
He thought it proper to refer the ques.
ton to committee such as was appointed
to deal with the Coleridge case
Mr.. Balfour agreed with Sir william,
but Mr.. Cbambcrlins differed from him,
saying that his sympathies were wholly
with Viscount Wolmer. After further
discussion the matter was put over till to-
morrow.

An Unsatisfactory Decision.

It Is regrettable that there was not a
decision on all the points presented in the
income tax case. AS no decision was rem
dered. except as to the tax on rents from
real estate and incomes from state. county
and municipal bonds. the law stands as
TO incomes from other sources. The re-
moving OF incomes from real estate and
state. county and municipal bonds from
taxation viii cut big hole I'm the income
tax returns. At least one-third Of the
revenue from the tax was expected from
those sources.
In view of the fact that the court ex,
pressed no opinion as to the constitution
ality of the law so far as IL applies 10
other sources of income, II is a question
whether much. II anything viii be obtained
from the income tax. 1t IS quite certain
that there viii. be a very great disinclina-
ton TO pay the tax. Suits will be filed
TO prevent the collection Of Il. and It may
not be long before another case will be
before the supreme court involving the
very points that were not decided. The
lower courts having no decision to guide
them will make decisions in accordance
with their own views. and we may have OPP
posing decisions from the lower federal
courts.
it may be that the failure Of the court
to render decision will hasten the res
ignation Of Mr.. Justice Jackson. 1t is
not probable that he will ever be able 10
appear on the bench again. Congress.
at the last session. ought to have passed
the bill that was proposed for his re-
tirement. II doubtless would have acted
in the matter II there had been the re-
hottest expectation of a divided court on
the income tax law. Congress was so sure
that the law was constitutional. notwith-
standing the warning that was given by
the newspaper press, that It refused to
entertain the thought that the law might
be unconstitutional.
What effect viii the decision have upon
the treasury? That is quite an import
ant question. The revenue has been fall
ing behind the expenses right along, and
the income tax was depended upon to make
up the deficiency. However the revenue
is now steadily Increasing, and the treas
ury officials expressed the opinion some
days ago that the treasury could pull
through until the meeting Of congress
If part of the amount expected from the
income tax should be cut off. or even all
Of it. The treasury has plenty Of money
on hand just now and II part of the in
come tax IS collected, it will not suffer
any great Inconvenience.
