AN INTERESTING GAME.


Glass Blowers defeat Glass Cutters by
Score of to 4.
One of the most interesting games
of ball ever played here was the one
Saturday between the glass blowers
and the glass cutters on the Univer-
sity diamond.
Smith and Rosenmerkel were the
battery for the blowers and Kaszer
and Ireland acted in the same capac-
ity for the cutters.
The game abounded in brilliant
plays and a mere capitulation is
sufficient to show how fine a game
it was. The glass blowers scored 5
runs, had errors and struck out II
men. The cutters scored 4 times,
had 3 errors and had to their credit
II strike outs. Pete Shanks the
omnipresent base ball fiend gave en-
tire satisfaction in the difficult role
Of umpire.
The employees of the glass house
were there en- masse AS the game
progressed and excitement ran high
the supporters of the teams placed
their money with the grace of a
Grannon. Over four hundred dol
lars changed hands as result. The
game was entirely void of the kick
ing and squabbling so prevalent at
most games.

THE stopping of pensions to men
who have enlisted in this war has been
criticised, but the pension commission
er says he had to take that course or
be false to his oath of Office. Section
4724 Of the revised statutes provides
that "no person in the army, navy or
marine corps shall draw both a pension
as an invalid and the pay of his rank
in the service, unless the disability for
which the pension was granted besuch
as to occasion his employment in a
lower grade or in the civil branch Of
the service" This section alone
would sufficiently outline the proper
course for this commissioner to pursue,
but it is clinched by the requirements
that every pensioner in swearing to his
voucher shall make oath that he has
not been employed or paid in the mill
tary service during the quarter

SIX THOUSAND DOSES
Physician Did Not Know the Strength
of the Drug

"It isn't always safe to base your esti-
mates of value on size or quantity" said
Washington physician to Star reporter
yesterday. II was convinced of that when
l was the resident physician at one of the
largest hospitals in town and was younger
than I am now. On one occasion the senior
attending physician came to me and said
that he wished l would secure certain
drug which he said was then being used
with remarkable success in some of the
principal hospitals in Europe. 1 asked him
how much I should get, as 1t was some-
thing had never heard of before.
oh, just get little; it's very power
should think
"Well, telephoned to wholesale drug
gist and gave an order for an ounce. A
couple of days afterward the druggist sent
me word that there wasn't as much as an
ounce of the drug in the whole United
States, so 1 told him to get me all he could.
During the course of the week he sent me
three or four drains. The stuff had name
in inverse ratio to the quantity, half
dozen chemical phrases linked together
with hyphens, but in direct ratio to its
strength. 1 remember the little phial cost
an even $29, and when came to investigate
found that dose was such a small frac-
ton of grain that had just 5000 doses on
hand. That bottle stared me in the face as
long as 1 remained at the hospital, until
