the Commissioners and Did Effec-

The Bureau OF Engraving and Printing
team defeated the District Commissioners
yesterday at National Park in an exciting
and sDapppy played game by a score Of
8 to 8, tho game being called at the end
OF the fifth inning on account Of the
condition of the grounds.
The last time these teams pla yed the score
was tie, SO it was only natural to expect
that the rooters of both teams would be
out in full force TO witness the game. The
roOters were there and there was also
present an immense crowd OF tie reg ular
patrons OF the game. In fact it is safe
TO say the attendance was greater than ut
any other departmental game this season.
On the grandstand opposite first base
there was crowd Of about ESQ huddled
together. They came in together and be-
fore sitting down one of them cried out:
WHO ares we?' and the answer caine from
800 or more voices: I'VE are the roOters
OF the B. Z. P.''
ROOTED FOR THE BUREAUS.
This contingent came prepared for busi-
ness and were supplied with bells and
horns, with which they raised a terrible
noise whenever the Bureaus would make a
play or the Commissioners Il niisplay.
II was expected that t"Cy' Cummings,
whose speed and curves proved a stumbling
block TO the Money Makers Last week,
would be put In TO pitch, but the crowd
was disappointed. for at the last moment
Fitzgerald was substituted. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald is, however, in no way responsible
for the defeat of the team, as he is cha rged
with only one error, and that was made
in the latter part OF the sixth ipning,
which is not tabulated. Lack OF conf
dence at the bat end team playing at
critical times was their great falling.
Winkleman was IN the box for the Bu-
reaus, and, while very effective, was far
behind his usual form. His reputation.
however, goes long way toward weak.
ening the batsmen, and yesterday he was
very impressive in this respect.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The Bureaus were first at the bat
Leach. the first man up, hit 10 left
for three bases. Next up was Jones,
who hit to third, Leach scoring on the
throw in. Six more Money Makers got
a turn at the bat, the result being four
runs They scored again in the second
and fourth.
Johnson, the first commissioner up, went
tothe rubber shaking and struck Out, Fuller
hit to pitcher, out at first, Dickinson hit
20 second and reached first on an error,
but was left there by Harding's out TO
second Barr was hit by a pitched ball
In the second, stole second and third bases
and scored on Fitzgerald's hit to center
field. The Commissioners scored three in
the third inning and one in the fifth.
At the end ofthe fourth inning Dickinson
was suddenly taken sick and compelled
to retire from the game Cummings was
substituted in his place, and as 1t was
his turn at the bat, when he stepped up
he was greeted with applause, which he
acknowledged by hitting safeto center, scor-
ing on bold steal and a long slide home
Very soon after commencing the sixth in
ming hard shower came up, which stop
ped tn game, and after the usual wait the
grounds being unfit for play, the game
was called
Following is the score
