4 Police Order Against ClothesIines
in Avenue ParkInSs.

A somewhat unusual complaint was re-
Gently received by the District Commits
sioners from lady residing in Massachu-
sets Avenue northeast. She stated that
the parking in the neighborhood is being
strung with clothes lines, from which
washings are swung every Monday morn
ing. The matter was referred to one of
the District Inspectors, who reported that
the complaint referred particularly to the
use which was being made OF the parking
on the Massachusetts, Avenue frontage of
the residence of Representative Showalter
of Pennsylvania, at 1016 East Capitol
street.
1t seems that the premises have no IA
cilities for drying clothes and the park
ing is used for the purpose of stretching
the lines every Monday. The complainant
holds that this use of the parking is in dis
regard of the feeling of the neighbors, be-
sides being detrimental to considerable
property interests in the street, and OBJ
structing the view toward Lincoln Park
Other parties are said to be using the
parking for the same purpose and the
Commissioners have directed the Chief of
Police to notify parties: that the parking
cannot be used for stringng clothes lines.

Rivals for the Southern College
Championship Meet Today.

Rivals for the Southern College
Championship Meet Today.
With an unbroken string of nine vic
tories, the Georgetown team will this af-
| ternoon line up against its strongest rival
for the college championship of the South,
and it promises to be the most hotly fought
contest of the local college series.
Virginia has lost two games to teams
which have been beaten easily by George
town, and this game will furnish the test
of superiority, and upon the result will
largely depend the outcome of the strug-
gle for pennant honors. 1t has not been
! decided definitely but more than likely
Eddie Bach the stalwart blonde of the
blue and gray will be in the points for the
locals, and against him will be pitted the
clever Summergill who, after the second
inning with Harvard last week, allowed
that team only three hits. Nalle will re-
ceive him and Lightning Hunt will hold
down the third bag.
Manager Moore has made provision to
comfortably seat a large crowd, and the
affair will be made a great social as well
as well as a brilliant athletic event.
The students have arranged new series
of college yells and songs, and they can be
depended upon to root the locals to vic
tory.
At mass meeting of the Georgetown
Medical and Law School students held in
the lecture hall of the college last night,
| arrangements were perfected to attend the
championship game between Virginia and
the local club in mass. Fred Schade, who
had charge of the arrangements. announced
that he had secured permission for the
Georgetown College Band TO escort the
students, and also that he had secured spe-
cial cars which would be on hand at 3:15
o'clock sharp to convey the boys to the
field of action.

PittsburE mt ST. Louis.

-rhe weather indications yesterday were
favorable TO ball playing; the fact, how
ever, that the club had been so unmerci-
fully beaten the day previous was doubtless
the cause for a very slim attendance. The
failure Of the Senators 20 make good the
favorable opinion entertained for them was
of course disappointing all around. 1t is
safe TO say that they will not again this
season put up such a ragged game. Last
season the Washington club played game
with Boston upon the home grounds. beat
ing them easily. Upon that occasion the
Senators hit the ball freely, while the
Boston boys failed to connect making but
four hits in the game. The Senators won
by large score, and thus it will ever be.
No club that don't hit can win over one
that does. There Is no doubt in the minds
OF those familiar with the game who have
seen the Senators work that they will win
a fair share of their games. Mr.. Irwin
in confident of their ability. and only de-
sires that the patrons give the boys fair
show. One. TWO. or three games is no cri-
terion 10 judge OF their capabilities. The
pitching department will be strengthened
if it is possible 10 do SO, and any other
changes necessary to strengthen the club
within the limits OF possibility will be
made as The Times has been assured.
When the gong sounded to play BALI
on yesterday there were only about 500 peo-
pie present. The Senators went TO bat
first and started of like winners. Hulen,
the first man up, hit grounder 10 left for
one base. and after the next two men were
retired Casey hit for two bases, scoring
Hulen and O'Brien. Freeman followed
with a three-bagger scoring Casey.
This was the only inning in which
The Senators scored, although they had
other opportunities which availed nothing
The Bostons scored their first run in the
third inning. Hamilton got his base on
balls and came home from second on Col
Inns hit for TWO bases. They scored two
more in the fourth inning on hits by Stahl
Bergen, and Hamilton. In the sixth they
scored one more Bergen hit for one base
went 10 second on wild pitch, and scored
on Hamilion's hit. In the seventh Duffy
walked. Collins safe bunt sent him to
second. and Bergen brought both men
home on nit TO right field. One more run
was made in the eighth on hits by Hamil-
ton, Tenny. and Duffy.
The game was a decided improvement
over Thursdays exhibition. but not by any
means up TO the standard. Dinneeu pitched
good game and but FOR some ragged field
ing, would have held the Bostons down TO
closer score The only error made in
the game was Casey's muff OF an easy in
field fly. The little Irishman seldom misses
fly catch, and this error made at a crit
ical stage Of the game completely un-
nerved him The following is the score:
