SENATORS co UP
RUNG AT TER RUNG
Victory Yesterday Over New
port NeWs-Hampton.
Al VERY CLOSE FINISH
Wilmington Allows Norfork One Run
in the Ninth.
NINE RUNS WAS The GIANTS RECORD
The Portsmouth Team Again Pucks up Energy
md Surprises the Richmond RoOters by
Another Victory Over the Capital
City Club.

Raleigh 3, Newport News 4.
Raleigh again did itself proud yester-
day in one of those tingling, electric
current games that make you nervous
up TO the finish.
1t was a closely fought contest be-
tween the Senators and the Blue Legs
from tae hyphenated towns of Newport
News Hampton. In only one inning
did the Shipbuilders score, and then
it was a succession of errors that caus-
ed them to pile in four runs before
Raleigh could pull itself out of the
hole. BY the same token Raleigh only
landed in two innings, the sixth for four
runs and the seventh for one run, ami
these runs were made By fine stick
work.
Meade had an off day. as he misplayed
three times, while Hauptman, Hanna~
ger and Atz each had an error against
them, making six for Raleigh New
port News had only three errors against
it, these being against Weddige, Ash
enback and Osteen.
Two star pitchers did the twirling
Sutch, the inimitatable, did the act for
Raleigh, while eHigh, of the Southpan
Movement whirled for the Shipbuild-
ers.
Raleigh had a score in sight at one
time before the fifth inning, but it
never came, though there were three
tots in the ring The game was gin
gerry, quick snappy, Raleigh being
blanked in it's half of the fourth in less
than two minutes. The record shows
ten hits for the Senators. and it would
have been more. but that the Red
Birds would soar up into the air and
when they fell there was an open man
ready to gulp them down.
The bleachers and grand stand did
not make much noise when the four
runs We're marked up to Newport News
in the fifth, but when Raleigh tied this
in the sixth everybody assisted in the
demonstration, and when Raleigh led at
the end of the seventh joy was uncon-
fined
Ashenback is going to be a favorite
with the bleachers. He jollied with
them yesterday in great shape and the
bleachers took onto him"
Raleighs lead Of one in the seventh
was never overtaken, though it was
close scratch at times. The half of the
ninth that belonged to Newport News
was heart breaking. Two men we're on
the bags. Raleigh was one ahead and
Heigh was up but he flew, and was the
second out. Deisell, the mighty one,
came up and little but would have
tied the score, while a Ion gone would
have put the Shipbuilders to the front.
But up skyrocketed the ball and came
down plump into 'Bill DIS" fly demol-
ishers and the thing was done.

THE CROPS WRECKED
Cloud Burst and Hail Storm

Farmers in That Section Say The Cotton and
Tobacco Crops Will Have TO be

Especial to News and observer.J

Wilson, n c.. May 9-The damage to
the crops of Wilson county by the cloud
burst and hail storm here this evening
cannot now be estimated. Farmers re-
port their crops almost total wreck
Young tobacco and cotton have been the
principal snuiferers. In most cases these
crops will have to be replanted entirely.
The tobacco plant beds have also suffered
quite little. This will shorten the plant
supply and in many cases will cut short
a tobacco crop for the present season.
In Wilson the water stood ponded in the
streets a foot deep. The sewerage sys-
te> was inadequate to accommodate the
torrents of water which fell.

the standing army from 5000 to 1OO,-
600 at his sole discretion; can appoint
LOO commissioned officers and give
whatever proportion Of these appoint
ments he wishes to the sons of favorite
politicians, lately taken from civil
life, thus working injustice to the
trained and deserving regular officers
and endangering the discipline and
welfare, if not the safety, of the
army.
As if this we're not enough, it is now
proposed to cIothe him with absolute
control over the lives and property Of
100000 people in the Philippines, to
make him sole lawmaker, lawgiver and

WE FURNISH THEM COPPER.
Other Countries Have to Look to the
United States for That
Metal

Copper is one important article
which neither Germany nor any other
country is able to get nearer home
than the United States. The inven-
ton of the telegraph, telephone, cleo
trio trolley and mOter cars and the
use of electricity in lighting and trans
hitting power has made copper, which
next to silver is the-best conductor of
heat and electricity, an absolutely nee
essary article. The United States pro-
duces one-half Of all the copper mined
in the world, Spain and Portugal one
fourth. Germany mines from II, 900 to
10000 tons a year, all Of which she uses
herself and in addition buys $4,000,
600 worth in the United States. Aus
tralia and Canada produce small guam
titles of this valuable metal The
United States, although one Of the
foremost users of electricity, consumes
only half the copper it produces aud is
able to supply all Europe with its sur
plus. The worlds production Of cop
per has increased one-third within the
last six years, but the demand for it
has increased eight per cent. Besides
its use in the electrical industries cop
per is used to alloy tin in making
bronze and with zinc to produce brass

Fatality of Modern war.


Surgeon General Sternberg has is
sued a statement containing some in
teresting facts on the comparative ia
tally Of gunshot wounds in the civil
war and in the recent fighting in Cuba
and the Philippines.
OF the 1919 men injured By bullets
last year and the year before, $50 we're
killed. This was a ratio of for every
IA wounded. In the civil war, on both
sides, 1925 were reported killed to
5O7,911 wounded. The ratio was only
a little more than half as large as the
present. Furthermore, Of the wound
ed who came under the care of the sur
geons, in the civil war, lab per cent
died; in the recent fighting only 6 per
cent Of the woundsproved fatal.
There are two reasons for the lessen
ed mortality. The old-fashioned rifle
bullet was much larger than the one
now in use, and the science Of surgery
has developed greatly. The civil war
was fought with Springfield rifles, with
a oaliber of 5S-inch. The diameter Of
the Krag- JOrgensen is only q trife
more than half as large. The Spring
field bullet inflicted a much larger and
more jagged wound than the Krsg,
which often leaves a trace Of its path.
But the improvement Of surgical meth
DDS must receive its due credit. AM
putatiOn is far rarer than formerly, and
the asceptic treatment Of wounds has
worked a revolution. For example,
during the civil war nearly half Of the
cases Of fracture Of the thigh bones
were treated at once by amputation of
the leg. In only per cent Of such
cases during the last two years has the
loss Of the leg been found necessary.
It was once the fashion to. predict
that the progress Of science and inyen-
ton wo7ld do away with war. Weapons
and expIOsi yes would become so effeo
tive, it was thought, that no nation
would dare subject its armies Co Ger
tain humiliation. At present there is
nothing 20 justify such a beiief. HUI
mau ingenuity has proved IS effective
for defense as for attack. The long
range magazi ne rifles and the machine
guns prove no more deadly than the
old muzzle-loaders and clumsy cannon
OF the Napoleonic wars. Strstegists
met the new weapons by simply chang
ing the formation Of their forces. A
modern army no longer attacks in mass
formation. There are no more thrill (

WOMEN AS DRAMATIsTs.
The Opportunity They Have to Infiu-
ence for Good Through
the Stage.

It has been asked more than once
whether women can write plays.
Awhile back this question provided an
elaborate discussion, the upshot of
which was that, whereas they might be
able to do so, the fact remained that
they had not so far distinguished them
selves in the field Of dramatic liter
AZURE. 1t can no longer be said, how
ever, that women are not to be serious
Iy reckoned as rival competitors with
men in this particular kind of work.
How far they are successful at present
or whether they are likely to do still
greater things for the stage, it is not
proposed to discuss just now.
But what does seem to need saying
at this junctUre, when there are signs
that the women dramatist is making
herself prominent and is doing notable
work, is that a splendid opportunity
here presents itself for women to exeF-
else the best possible influence on the
drama of the day, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger. We hear it frequently
asked: Does the drama make for
good? And, thinking on the pessimis-
tic problem plays that are produced,
and on the theme which generally fur
ishes forth the play of the day, one
hesititates to reply aflrmatively.
One would be specially sorry to
think that as they have the chance Of
elevating, OF, at all events, Of preserv-
ing the best tone Of the drama, women
did not avail themselves Of their
chances. Women are, without doubt,
as capable as men Of putting good
stories into dramatic shape and supply
ing our stage with Well-Written and
well-eonstructed plays; bat it is to be
hoped that they viii not be tempted to
forget that it is Woman's meter to
command respect, and her privilege to
influence for good.
