Joe Quinn Is playing good second base
as any man in the country.
Clarence Foster turned his ankle in yes
terday's game, but it Is to be hoped 1t is
nothing serious, his batting can hardly
be spared.
There is possibility of first place for the
Senators Two more victories for WASH
ington and the same number of defeats
for Chicago, would make the percentage
.633 and .632 in favor of Washington.
First place will be decided at any rate
within the next week. as Chicago opens up
here next Friday for four games, and the
contests will probably pack the park to
the gates.
After driving in the winning runs in the
last inning Of yesterdays game, Coughlin
resumed his position at third base and
saved the day through miraculous stop
Of line-hit bali. He went to the ground
but regaining his feet got the ball to first
ahead of the runner.

LawsOn's Cup Yacht Carried Sail
Easily and stood Up Well.
The LawsonCcup yacht Independence was
given a trial trip in Boston harbor yes
terday. She left her berth at the state
dock at about 11:30 a NJ. in tow of the
tug Peter w. French. Mr.. Lawson and a
party Of guests followed in his private
steam yacht The Dreamer.
On the way down the harbor everything
that had on board an implement for max
ing a noise saluted the Independence and
The Dreamer. The headsails Of the big
yacht were up in stops when she left the
deck. Down of Boston light the crew be-
gan to raise the big mainsail, but 1t was
fully an hour before the great sheet had
been swayed up to the satisfaction of Cap
tain Haff and by that time the tug and
her tow were four miles off Boston Light
The yacht cast off her line at 100 and
her jib was broken out. She filed away
on the Starboard tack. The wind was
very light at this time. being not over
four knots an hour. from the southeast
Gaining Roadway, Captain Half ordered
with a good rapful. the yacht headed to-
ward Boston Lightship. Her headsails set
very nicely, but the huff of the mainsail
shook badly; In fact, the sheets set very
poorly. The yacht appeared to go through
the water very smoothly. She left good
wake. A fairly heavy ground swell was
making In and the overhang meeting this
oCcasfoned considerable white water.
There was neither wind nor sea enough
to give a good idea OF what the yacht
might do under other circumstances Later,
on the starboard tack the Independence
was given good long leg right out to sea.
The wind had freShened slightly, but at no
time during the afternoon was there breeze
enough to cause much Of a heel
On the whole, the yacht appeared to
carry her sail easily, and she stood up
well. After long run she was brought
about and, with her boom we'll out to port,
the Independence headed for home.

LESSON FROM AKRON.

There has been a revival at Youngs-
town of the petition to ask Council
to permit the people of that city to
vote upon the question of advancing
Youngstown's grade to that of city
of the first class.
The Intention of the petitioners Is to
get rid of the City Commissioner sys-
TEN, which applies only to cities OF
Youngstown's present grade and
class.
At least this is the sense In which
the newspapers have interpreted the
motive OF the citizens. and In lengthy
editorials they are publishing ndmon-
it,ons to the people to ''let the Com
mission alone"
Four years ago Akron tried TO get
rid cf the City Commissioner system

exceptionally cold, and the tug was
stuck In the ice half a mile from the
knoll. Dorr left the boat and started
over the ice.
When he reached the lighthouse, be
was warmly greeted. "Come In the
