sp,v IN establishing records ana wouiu
hot be preliminary to court martial.
An important feature in the order di-
recting the court Is Sthat speciIying
whether It shall state only the iacts
found or shall also give an opinion
based on the facts. Unless the order
expressly requires the court to give
its opinion 1t is confined to stating
the facts found. 1t is Wconsidered
quite probable, however, that in case
of this importance the order would di-
rect the court to record Its opinion as
well as its conclusion Of facts.
Whether the investigation shall DC
held in open court or not Is decided Dy
the court itself unless specified IN the
conyening order This leaves u op'
tional with the president or Secretary
Long to direct that the proceedings
shall be open or closed, but IN case ho
specific direction is given ON this POM
the court will decide 1t.
When the court Of inquiry reaches it'
decision, all the papers are forwarae'
to the judge advocate general OF TN
navy, and the final approval or dlsap
proval rests with the secretary OF tn
navy or the president, according y
which one has ordered the court.

BRoWNsoN SHUT OUT.
Lost to Roxborough by the Score
of 10 to 0.
Some Reasons Why the Local Club
Cannot Play Better
Rail-,

Brownson went TO Roxborough yes.er-
day afternoon and was del f4atea by the
team of that place by the score OF lotto y.
For the first seven innings Blu chell
pitched. lie was then taken out and
Walker put in the box. He did no bet
ter. The old excuse that Brownson could
not hit the ball was given.
The people who have been attending
the games here have been aware OF that
fact for some time. The wav the team
has fallen down in the height of the sea-
son is discouraging to the patrons Of The
game.
The attendance has been larger than
it has been for years and justified the
management in having a crack Jack
team here. Several reasons have been
given tor the poor article of ball the
Brownson players have been put
ting up.
One Of the chief reasons is that the
men have not been under the proper re
strant. Ball players cannot stay up hal
or all OF the night and then get up tbs
next day and play winning ball. 1t re
quires clear head and eye. People wht
have business on the street between mid
night and three o. clock in the morning
have been commenting on the fact tina
many Of the players did not retire bcfort
that time. Before many important game
OF the season several Of the players hav'
been seen about at hours and in condi
tion that makes good bali playing i'm
possible tile nest day. Such action o.
the part Of the players would not b
tolerated in other towns where an.
effort was being made to play winning
ball,
After the game esteriay some Of th
players were given talking to abou
their behavior and told that they wnu.
have to conduct themselves different
in the evening. The people Of Whining
tor are ready To pay to see good base
bail and have shown il by their attenc
al c. this year. Brawnson cannot pla
good ball unless some fort is made t
keep the play ers in condition.
