TIC crstwhile tail enders OF the Ma
tional League met the boat makers OF
Ncwpor, News yesterday afternoon at
Rivcrview Park, and when the final
reckoning was summed up the Senators
had crossed the rubber eighteen times,
while the Newport News bali tossrrs
had scored only Il Quartettc of ITALICS.
The game yesterday afternoon was
practically the first contest on the dia-
mond in this locality this season. About
two hundred admirers of the sport were
present, including Il score or SO OF
ladies' ana though the game was one
sided. it afforded sport for those who
braved the stim breczes that whistlcd
through the grand stand and the
hlccchors. OF course, no one expected
10 see Ncw2ort News win, and few
there were who thought that the ship
builders would score. They get on to

Mercer and Casey being particularly

Il little sore and stiff, but this will all
disappear in the next fow days. when
the Senators will be in condition TO
keep out of the tail end position.

yesterday was thoroughly enjoyed Ivy

orncsS with the stick. and excellent
base running. But for that glass arm
Arlie would sun be great timber for
the big league, but despite this. Latham
as n coachcr and general utility man
would make him worth his salary 10

fine and there are few better base run
ners

The conviction of ex-Attorney hight N
and his assistant hewitt of Philadelphia
last week is.a scandalous development. They
were eminent lawyers of large practice,
$4,000 year thew claimed, and yet they
stand convicted Of aiding in the counter
feiting of government stamps. It seems
that the short cuts and hustling methods
of the modern lawyer sometimes rebound.
The prac ioner who advices against justice
and equity may in the end be consumed by
familiarity with his evils counseIs. Those
whose duty 1t is to pass upon the qualifi-
cations of young men for the law, should
value moral worth and integrity more,
and cunning less than seems to have pre-.
vailed in the past. The familiar expression
''shrewd enough to be lawyer" should be
amended,
