BATTERED IRON MEASURES.
John Gaffney, N PeddIer, Arrested fol
Using Them.

John Gaffney is peddler who drives a
wagon about the streets hawking his wares.
He is a man of experience and used iron
measures to dispense his fruits and veg
etables to the public. In the course of time
these iron measures become more or less
battered up, and, they are originally
round, they shrink in size in the proportion
that the area bounded by a circle decreases
the circumference is compressed. The
battering process of Gaffneys measures had
been going on for some time, and when
Patrolman Dugan examined the measures
yesterday it required measurements to
demonstrate that the person who accepted
them at par value would not get ali he
bargained for. He arrested Gaffney under
the provisions of city ordinance.

Record of the Clubs.

The Senators have won in the past week
over half as many games as they made in
the whole season previous Those with a
mathematical mind might find entertain
ment in calculating that if five games have
been won since certain changes were made
how many games would have been won
had the changes been made sooner. Then,
too, they might go back a season, or two
or three seasons, and by going back far
enough could figure the club into the Tenn
pie cup SERIES However, the average fan
is not given to a prediction for winning
games on paper. He knows that no mat
ter what changes are made that it is only
by constantly keeping at 1t. faithful. and
at times brilliant work, that victories are
secured. There is danger that in the en-
thusiasm over the recent victories of the
local team an undue proportion of credit
be assigned recent changes and not enough
to the really excellent game all the local
players have been putting up. Every men,
ber of the club has put increased energy
into the game and not one Of them has
ever played better ball than he is doing
now. Reillys pickup and throw yesterday
of Brodie's grounder was equal to any third
base play ever seen on the diamond. Then,
too, the outfielders have been covering an
immense territory and deserve lot of the
credit that the superficial hastily give to
the pitching. All these things should be
considered in commenting on the increased
percentage of the team.
Yesterdays contest with the Pittsburgs
was more like a procession than a ball
game. 1t reminded one of the early exhi-
bition contests with minor league clubs.
Pink Hawley was the rubber for the
visitors and his delivery was gauged for
eighteen hits, incldding two home runs,
one triple and two doubles. Jimmy Nc
James pitched for the locals and was hit
often enough to win game ordinarily. but
excellent fielding kept tke hits scattered.
The locals started hitting in the first and
earned two runs. Abbey started the sec
ond with fly to csnter.uon which he made
the circuit. AT third he encountered Leahy,
and the Pittsburger' went over. He was re-
strained from retaliating. After two were
out in the third six runs were scored
Meanwhile Pittsburg had failed to score
In the eighth the visitors punched their
hits and on two singles, an error and a
double two runs were scored.
Manager Donovan resumed his old place
in right field, but his. presence had little eff
