Four bills providing for postal saw
ings banks are now before congress.
The chief difference in these bills is the
provision for investing the postal saw
ings funds. The disagreement between
the advocates of these different meas
ures led to the passage of resolution
referring the whole matter to Secre-
tary Gage. 1t Is to be hoped that this
delay will not prevent the measure
from reaching the senate in time to Sc
cure Its passage by that body.

remarked: Il am going to pitch Maui to-

fly balls will be hit up by the Reds. Maui
has change of pace that will fool any
batsman. and in games that he pitches

lon had the situation sized up right.
The Baltimore outfield accepted thirteen
chances, while the infield caught five or
six flies. First Baseman McGann had but
three put-outs in the entire game a record
that probably stands alone in the annals
OF base ball history. Beckley, on the other
hand, had fourteen put-outs.
Al Maui can't account for the return of
life In his pitching arm. He kept at work
all winter: He would pitch in gymnasium
TWO and three times a week, and also did
some work with the Indian clubs and
dumb-bells. Maui acted honestly with the
manager of the Baltimores. Hanlon met

Record of the Clubs,

When Mr. Winnie Mercer, the twirling
Adonis of the Washington Base Ball Club,
is bad he is about bad as bad can BE-.
Yesterday was one of his bad days, ard
the Louisville Colonels took advantage Of
his rankness, fattening their batting aver
ages tc a really wonderful extent. Up to
the sixth inning the game was a close and
pretty contest, with the score tie-o to g.
Then something seemed to go wrong with
Winnie's steering gear. and during the
next three innings he drifted about utterly
helpless, the Kentuckians meantime bonn
harding him in a manner very similar to
that experienced by the Spaniards at Man
ia- When the order TO cease firing was
given the Washington men were simply
destroyed.
Cunningham pitched for the Colonels,
and while he was hit for ten safeties and
gave five passes, besides hitting man,
the visitors could get but three men across
thu home plate during the nine innings.
The little Kentucky twirler kept the hits
we'll scattered ard was most effective
when men were on bases. On the other
hand, during the sixth, ssyenth and eighth
innings Mercer pitched in seemingly in
different, half-hearted manner, being hit
for twenty-one safeties- Doyle was again
absent from the game, Mcclure taking his
place at first Reitzs injured hand was
again hurt, Wagner replacing him at Sec
ond. The Colonels made but one error,
the Senators making two. Mcguire and
Wrigley being the offenders. Myers not
only played a great game at third, but led
his team at the bat, securing three singles,
one bringing in two of the three runs
made by the Washington people.
The Senators were the first to score, get
ting their three runs in the second inning
Mcclure was given a pass, went to second
on FarrelPs single to center, and to third
on ReitZ's safe bunt. Myers single to
center sent Mcclure and Farrell home
and Wrisley'S sacrifice and Mercers out at
IN hR inrin
the Colonels commenced scoring getting
two runs on Ritcheys single and Stat
ford's homer. They got another run in
the next inning, on Ciingmans single to
left, Powers safe bunt, d pass to Clarke
and Ritcheys single to center. In the
sixth inning the COlonels clinched matters,
scoring five runs on five hits, a hit bats
man and McGuire's muff of Reitz's throw
They scored two runs in the seventh on
three hits and four runs in the eighth oE

CHAMPIONSHIP SCORES.
The Bicycle Circuit Races Tomorrox,
May Materially Change Them.

~s f Chan8c Tnem.
The circuit races which will be held at
the Park Cycle Club tomorrow afternoon
and evening will result in considerable
change In the standing OF the cracks in
the championship tables. The system of
scoring to determine the championship of
the country. which has been successfully
introduced this season. is regarded as the
most equitable that could be devised. and
every pro" man has chance to get in
the list. Last year there was good deal
OF discussion over the matter Of the cham
pionship. The friends of both Bald and
Cooper urged their men to the front. In
fact, for the past two or three seasons the
contention has been the same. This year
such will not be the case. At every circuit
meet where q championship race Is held,
no matter for what distance, score is
kept. The first I've positions in the race
are counted. The winner scores six points;
the second man. four points; the third man,

three points; the fourth man, two points.
and the fifth man. one point, making total
of sixteen points in each race. AS the
riders stand today Gardiner is away in the
lead, with Cooper and Bald second and
third, respectively. Before the end of the
season a big change Is apt to occur. Ac-
cording to Chairman Mott the national
Championship score to date is as follows:
