"Old Reliable" James Mcclure will COM
nence his eighth season with the Washing
ton club tomorrow. Jim has never been in
better condition than he is this spring and
the way he hit the bail in the two games
at Richmond demonstrated that his old
ability with the bat is still retained.
Mcclure has been playing professional
ball twelve years, having started with thu
Cleveland club in 1891 as catcher. and has
Tiled that position ever since In July of
that year the Cleveland club dropped out of
base ball and Mcguire went to the Toledo
tAmerican Association club and finished
the season. In 1885 Mac was sold to the In
dianapolts club, and in the middle of the
season the entire team was transferred to
Detroit and he finished the season with the
latter club. 1886 the Big Four deal wa 9

work with the Philadelphia club for the re-

COLLEGE BASE BALL.
Remarkable Exhibition of Pitching
Mt National Park.

ANc"urAuDle EXHIBITION OF f1tCh1nR
Mt National Park.
There was an exhibition Of pitching yes
terday at National Park that has prob
ably never been eQualed on the collegiate
diamond. The teams were the Catholic
University of this city and Lehigh. Lee
high has been winning games right and
left on her southern trip, and her work
has proved her right and title to a higl,
place in the college list. The Catholic Uni
versity has a pitcher named McTighe, who
has at various times fooled college bat
tiers. as we'll as those of other base ball
teams. and he was depended upon yester-
day to stop the victorious career of the
Lehigh aggregation. With ordinary sup
port he would have succeeded. but as 1t
was Lehigh won by a score Of 10 to Z,
practically winning the game in the first
through errors of Twohy and Collins.
McTighe struck out twenty-five men and
allowed but six hits to be made off his
delivery, five of which were weak infield
hits, that might have been handled by a
quicker team. He was not only rather
poorly supported in the field, but was not
backed up well behind the bat
Without doubt this Is one of the most
extraordinary exhibitions of pitching, with
regard to strike-outs, that has ever been
given in this city. and probably on the
diamond. White of the Lehigh team also
pitched D. good game, allowing the local
team six hits and striking out fifteen men.
This makes q total OF lhirty-seyen strike
outs for the game. White had much the
better support. The score:

GOVERNMENT ARMOR PLANT.
The Board Reports that The Proper Plant Will
Cost About So 750. 900.

Washington, Dec 1.-The naval board
appointed by authority of Congress to
ascertain the cost of an armor plant.
made it's report through Commodore
Howell to Secretary Long. today. The re-
port makes voluminous document,
treating with every detail of armor max
ing essential to a correct apprehension of
the cost of a plant and the product. 1t
is also accompanied by elaborate plans
for the plant which have been verified by
Expert Fritz.
The cost of a plant suitable for the
making of naval armOr at the rate of
about 5000 tons per annum. which is fully
equal to the capacity of both of the eX-
listing private plants Is set down as
about So. 10000. No recommendation is
made as to the location of the plant. but
the board has accumulated much infor-
nation as to the merits of the various
eligible locations which may be had by
Congress if asked for by it,
Secretary Long will now proceed i'm
mediately to take the next step necessary
to carry out the wish of Congress- name
ly. invite proposals by advertisement for
building such plant as that designed for
the use of the government. 1t was at
first the intention of the secretary to
withhold the report from Congress until
he should be able to include this nfor-
nation in it. but he has now determined
to send in the report as soon as Congress
assemblies. and meanwhile put out the
advertisements and later notify Congress
of their results.
