The principal event of the day was the
Presidents Match, representing the in

Is considered one of the most important
IN rifle shooting. The winner was Lieut.

Washington did likewise. New Jersey had
three contestants, and Massachusetts was
represented by one lone maTksman,
Thomas Anderton. of Boston
When the first two stages of the match
were over Sergeant Corrie, of the Twelfth
New York, was in the lead, and he was
counted upon to win the match. When
Corrie moved back to the sOO-yard target
he fell to pieces and instead of getting a t
least twenty-five. which had been counted
upon. he had to be satisfied with nineteen.
This put him back somewhat While he

the lead which Leizear had gained.
All the while DIR. S. l. Scott of Wash
inston, was making bulseyes. When it
was seen that Corrie was out of the race
it was believed that Scott would win. His
score on long-range targets, however, was
far below his average and Leizear drew
into first place. He remained there until
the end of the match.
Sergeant Doyle, Of the Seventy-frst
New York did poorly on the short tar
gets. Leizear won by only one point, his
score being 137 out of a possible 150 DIR.

A MESSENGERS BAD FALL.
Owing to His Age, Foster p. Woods
Injuries May Prove Entail

Foster p Wood, employed as a mes
senger at the War Department. aged sew
enty-three years, and q veteran of the
civil war, lies at the Emergency Hospi-
tai with a broken leg and a possible frac-
ture of the skull. as the result of a fan
down a fight OF steps at the Winder
Building late yesterday afternoon. The
patient is in a serious condition, and an
operation was performed on him last
night to check a hemorrhage from the
ear, superinduced by the fall. He may
not recover.
The accident took place about o'clock
as the offices were letting out for the day.
Mr.. Wood, who has been employed in the
War Department fer number Of years.
had about completed his labors, and was
ready TO leave the Winder Building for
home. He had beer at work on one Of
the upper floors most OF the afternoon.
and started to descend by the main stair
way to quit the building. When near the
top of the stairs leading from the first
to the second floor, at the entrance OF
the building, Mr.. Wood is thought to
have made misstep. for he fell suddenly
down the stairway almost to the land
ing below.
A number of clerks and others were
standing about the entrance to the build

to the assistance of the aged man. While
some lifted Mr.. Wood from the stairs and
took him into one of the offices on the
first floor, message was sent for the
ambulance. which soon arrived. The in
jured man was then removed to the hos
pital and placed under treatment.
1t was found that he had been badly
hurt by the fall. and the physicians fear
his skull may have been fractured. Ow-
ing to his advanced age. fears are enter
taxed for his recovery.
Word was sent shortly after the acci-
dent to Mrs. Wood, wife of the patient at
her home, 1921 G. Street, to Court F.
Wood son OF the patient. and president
of Woods Commercial College. and to
other relatives in this city. Mrs. Wood
and her son called at the hospital last
night to enquire for the patient. but, on
account of his serious condition, were
not permitted to see him. An operation
performed last night on the injured man
is thought to have been successful.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wood have lived in this
city for a number of years and for five
years have occupied q fat at the homo
of Miss l.. c. Brown. on G Street Mr..
Wood served throughout the civil war
and held the rank of captain of volun-

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Sept. THE SEN
ators with James Manning at the head.
arrived here today ana crossed bats with
the Brewers for the last series of the
season here with Washington. The result
today was anything but satisfactory to
the home team, in fact. they would like
to have it wiped cut entirely. At the
end of seven innings the umpire decided
that the Brewers had enough. and as it
was growing rather dark, he called the
game, the score then being 20 to s in
favor Of the Sen1tors.
There was "a terrific windstcrm prevail
ing during tne entire game. which made
good fielding impossible. The Brewers
evidently had a case OF the rattlcs. for
they played ball like amateurs at times,
especially in the fourth and fifth Innings.
when the Senators piled up sixteen runs.
There was a crowd OF about 100 people
present, but they were driven away by
the Geld before the seventh inning was
reached.
Pitcher Wyatt Lee had good command
of the ball and held the Brewers safe at
all times and he received splendid support
from the Senators. Jack Farrell doing nice
work at second base. Waldron and Far
rell did the best batting and Anderson
covered himself with glory for the home
team.
In the opening inning the Senators
scored twice on three successive hits. The
Brewers were not to be outdone and they
tied the score with a base on balls. single.
and double. There was nothing much do
ing until the fourth, although in the third
Anderson put the ball over the fence for a
homer.
In the fourth. however. the Senators be-
gan to make the real trouble. Coughlin
started by getting to first on Friels FUN
BILE. Then came an out. two bases on
balls, and two hits. Manager Reidy de-
cided that enough runs had been scored
off Sparks, so the latter was relegated
TO the woods and Pete Husting brought
was hit for a couple before the side was
retired, netting seven runs.
In the fifth there were mere fireworks.
Husting as wild as a hawk and in
addition the Brewers made errors. which,
with four hits. gave the Senators nine
runs. After that the game developed into
farce, as the Brewers had no show or
earth to win. Lee began taking matters
easy, and let the Brewers roll up few
runs. they getting two in the sixth and
two in the seventh.
When the wind began blowing so hard
that the players could hardly see the ball
for the dust the umpire came to the con-
clusion that he would be doing everyone
good turn by calling the game. and he
did. There will be double-header to-
morrow. 1t having been decided to play
Mondays game Sunday. which will give
Washington an open date. The score:

At that time there were about 100 press
feeders at work at the Government Print
ing Office and other governmental de-
partments who were not members of the
local organization of pressfeeders. Since
then, however, all. with the exception of
Miss Callaghan, have been influenced to
join the union She, however declared
that she would not affiliate with the un-
ion. and 50 far has kept her promise
1t was believed yesterday by members
of the pressfeeders union that when
Miss Callaghan did not go to work at her
accustomed place that she had been dis
missed Oscar J. Rick ketts, private secre-
tarv to Public Printer Palmer was asked
last night If this report were true and he
stated that 1t is not. He. however. would
not say that Miss Cailaghan will be at
