FREEMAN'S HITTING
An Important Factor in Defeating
the Chicago Team.
BALTIMORE GAINING ON BOSTON
Cincnnati's Hopes Ruined by the
PhiIies.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES


The Senators downed the Chicago men
yesterday rather easily, thanks to the
clever pitching of Dineen and the heavy
hitting of Freeman, eight runs being scored
by the home people and five by the visitors.
Dineen allowed but seven hits off him, all
singles while Woods who started the game
for the Orphans. was knocked out of the
box retiring in the fourth inning in favor
of Thornton off of whom but three safe
ties We're made. Freeman, the Washingt)r N
fielder imported from Toronto disting IIsl-
ed himself at the bat. getting two homcrs
and a double out of the four times at the
bat. Anderson was not far behind, with
homer and a double. Dineen also caught
the batting fever, sending one past Lange
for three bases IN the second inning, and
scoring on Farrells double to left. The
Senators made thirteen safeties for twenty
seven bases. One of Freeman's homers was
made in the opening inning, after Ander-
son had doubled the ball going to the bull
letin board in left field. The other one
came in the third, the ball bounding past
wellplaced ball in right which bounded
into the bleachers. Every Senator got one
or more hits but ReitZ and Gettman. Di-
neen struck out five men and gave six
passes, but his fine pitching kept the hits
well scattered, he being at his best when
the bases were occupied.
Dahlen was put out Of the game by I'M
pre Andrews in the seventh inning for
Questioning his decision, and Andrews
closed the game by declaring Everitt out
in the eighth for interfering with Smiths
handling of grounder. The visitors play
ed an errorless game. and Reitz AMI Farrell
made the only misplays on the home team

Young Women.


Mrs. Minnie D. wheatley. secretary Of the
Young Women's Christian Home. and Mrs
Caroline Heron, treasurer of the Institu-
tion, have submitted their annual reports
to the District authorities Mrs Wheatley
says:
The work is constant and difficult So
many phases of life are presented Work
is to be found for the applicants their Gre
dentials investigated and comfort and SYM
pathy given We have several classes OF
guests in the home. Working girls in
stores, dressmakers. etc: working girls who
come for a few days or a week TO rest be
lore taking another position, or who stay
IN the home a few days upon arriving I'm
the city, until work is assured them: desii-
tute women. who come to us without COM
pensation to rest night or a few DAYS or
weeks until something opens up to give
them "A brighter future. Besides these there
are transients.
A case oft Of the ordinary was that of
a girl who had tramped all the way from
Maine to Quantico Va. She was made
comfortable. and was given railroad tick
ct to her home. Another poor woman in
great straits was brought from the rail-
road station, having lost her ticket to Cali
tornia, and being without money. She was
strengthened and given a ticket by the local
authorities to Piusburg with reconmenda-
uons to the authorities there to pass her
on.
This is only a glimpse Of the work ac-
have been many repairs put on the house
during the last twelve months. and in this
the Young Ladies' Auxiliary Association
has been most helpful, contributing 500 for
that purpose. and so additional to the
home intirmary committee. The National
Flower Guild has not forgotten US, sending
fowers each month"
Mrs. Caroline Heron states:
The year just closed has been one of
steady growth and prosperity. We have
been able TO do much good in many ways,
and our finances have been equal to the
demand at all times. The home is i'm good
repair. our bills paid to date. with a
balance in the treasury to carry us through
the trying summer months. when income
is light ana expenses are not diminished.
"A legacy Of 81 900 left US by the Perry
estate, with other moneys due us from like
sources. Will. when received, be applied to
the payment of the trust on the property.
When this is an accomplished fact, We hope
to be able to do our work without the as

Men Who Want Their Discharges.
The following statement is given out al
the War Department.:
The War Department is just at present
underGoing an experience which illustrates
the alacrity with which the average Amer
lean citizen hastcns to his senator or rep
resrutative in Congress for aid in emer-
gsnci.s.
The cessation of hostilities and the i'm
probability of their renewal with the dull
ness Of camp life. has apparently created

to the captain of his company. who in turn
il required to forward 1t to the colonel of
the regiment, and the latter to pass it
along through brigade, division and corps
hea- quarters with their recommendation
Tn ess this is done the department will
send the paper back 70 the company com
manaer Tor his recommendation, and that
takes time which may be saved by follow
ing the proper rule.
The department has also promulgated
another ruling in this connection which is
to the effect that public policy will not
permit at this time the consideration of
applications for discharges of men serving
In the Philippine Islands. Honolulu Cuba
or Porto Rico. The reasons for this are
obvious Aside from the question of trans
