"CHICAGOED" BY BALTIMORE
Oriole Hockey Players Easily Defeat
the WaShingtonx

large number assembled at the Convea-
tioa Hall ice rink last night to witness the
hockey game between the Baltimore Ath-
let!c Club and a Washington team. The
Washington boys will not be able, for some
time, at least. according to their style Of
play last night, to successfully compete with
Il visiting organization. Although it is true
that the Baltimore aggregation is one of the
strongest in the east, yet the Washingtons
showed an utter lack of team work and
nerve
The game was called at O'clock and tho
teams lined up as follows:
Observation-Disclosures, captain; Maize, Will
lia1ns and Cheney, forwards; Norris, left
defense; Tierney, right defense; Ennis, goal.
Harrison and Bislau, forwards; Corning.

Baltimore secured the first goal In four
teen seconds, the big captain of the 3. A. G.
team walking right through the Washing
ten team The second goal was more stub
bornly contested, being made in 1O4. the
third in 3:3, and the fourth in six minutes
B:snau and Parmley played a beautiful
game. and made nearly all the gains for the
Baltimore boys.
In the second half Baltimore made five
mere goals. making the total at the end of
the game to 0. TIE times for the goals
were 30 seconds, 80 seconds, 240, LII and no
seconds.
The Il. A C.'s team work was excellent.
and wherever the. puck went Baltimore
man awaited it. Maize PLAYED tho hest
game for the Washington team, and seemed
to be the only one who was not afraid Of
getting a fall. When a Washington man
did get the puck for minute or SO he was
SO nervous that he lost it directly. or some
Baltimore man would come and take it. AL
though the game was so one-sided, it was
interesting to the many spectators. and The
good plays were frequently applauded.
During the intermission between tho
halves the Baltimore boys gave some exhi-
b:tions of fancy and speed skating, which
were much enjoyed.
The next game to be played at the rin,.
will be called Saturday evening. who, tho
contestng teams will be the Columbia Ath-
letic Club Of this city and the Maryland Uni
VerS;ty.

post office committee having it in charge.
A feature of legislation has been incorpo-
rated in the bill by which appropriat tfons
coming under general heads of the service
are segregat ated, so that the amounts al

ries the bill appropriates sl2,25i.3Go; for
hose hire allowance, $4,000 Under the
head of wagon and star service the appro-
priations include, among others, the fol-
lowing: Screen and other wagon service,
100000, and for star service. s5.s54OoO.
The sum of S1.o.OOO is appropriated for
electric and cable car service. In the Of
flee OF the fourth assistant postmaster
general the inspectors force is increased
by thirty This is in lieu CT any provision
for the employment of special agents. The
per diem allowance for inspectors is re-

thereby will be set aside a fund to draw

gagged in delicate and complicated work
requiring the expenditure of greater
amount than the per diem allowed. For

more than make up the difference between
