Of the game.
The Senators played iistlessiy If ex-

mend, while the Colonies, with the prestige
of two wins, played frst-class ball and
easily landed the victory. Mercer, Reitz

The committee appointed several days

gance against the Supreme Lodge officials
and to secure, If necessary, the name of
the informant of local papar will report
that there has been extravaganza but no
criminal misconduct. 1t will also report
that it could not secure the name of recall
citrant representatives. Further, thu COM
mittee will recommend commission to

Senators in Cincinnati tomorrow.
That was hard game for Cincinnati to
lose yesterday.
Boston and Cincinnati have easy games
from this out, while Baltimore will stack
up against strong clubs.
Poor Senator'S! Without a leader. without
courage, without ability to play good bail.
Even their boss" has cast them OF, gone
to Atlantic City end consigned them to the
bow-wOws.
Give Washington a good ending OF the
season at any rate SO the local fans Will
lot have a bad taste in their mouths for
next spring.
Bill Joyce has the poorest fielding average
of the league first bascmen. Here is a case
where figures don't lie and records count
Exchange. Yet Joyce, with the exception
Of Tebeau, is the most valuable first base
man III the league The players all concede
this.
Andy" Anderson, Washington's clumsy
giant. has passed Napoleon Lajois in the
iong-range hitting averages and nov has
long lead over the Phiiadelphian. with a to-
tai of 100 extra cushions Collins leads the
league in home runs. I4ajoie in two-baggers
and Harry Davis in tripletS.
Later in the season the Bostons and Balti-
mores come together for six games and the
Baltimores and New Yorks for eight games
Those games may push either Baltimore or
Boston out of the race. While this is going
on thu Cincinnatis will be doing little
business with st. Louis and Louisville.
Surely that is not SO bad.
Is Mercer, Winnie, the long-haired poet
pitcher of the Senator'S to go the way of
Wallace, the old Cleveland twirler? Since
Mercer has been playing infeld positions
for the team he has shown what a pitcher
of the Tannehill class can do in batting and
fielding. Saturday Mercer made two runs
three hits Zone three-bagger and another
a home rum and accepted eight chances
Dahlen would be proud to call that his aft
ernoon's work.-Chicago Record.

ell sick soon after the surrender of San

Other European opinions from Berlin

DE summarized as a cordial agreement that

the point is nowhere discussed.
The German View.
AT Berlin the North German Gazette, re-
ferring to the cars peace conference pro-
posals, remarks:
Our ornaments were never intended for
selfish ends, but only for our own protee-
ton and for the maintenance of peace. We
ara willing to give a fair trial to another
method of attaining the object at a smaller
cost"
The National Zeitung says: 1.-THE czar and
his ministers have not deluded themselves
with the IDEA that they can rid the world Of
the causes which for years have been re-
sponsible for the. growing ornaments.
When a great power, however, addresses
such proposals to others, they will be rec
ognized everywhere as deserving of the
most serious consideration"
The Kreuz Zeitung says: mo one can yet
appreciate the real significance OF the note.
