ORIOLES DEFEAT SENATOR'S
Luck Played an Important Role in the
Game.

Luck had something to do with the VIC
tory which Baltimore won from Washing
ton in the former city Saturday by a score
Of to 8. but the main factor in the VIC
tory was the steady pitching Of Tom
Hughes. Except in the second and ninth
innings the Senators were never able to
get more than one hit in the same inning.
and 1t was seldom that the game was In
any danger. so steady was Hughes work.
He had speed and curves and excellent
control. several times striking out men

A CUSTOMS CIRCULAR.
In Reference to Examination of Per-
sonal Baggage.

Secretary Shaw has sent out the following
self-explanatory circular to collectors and
other chief officers of customs:
The department is in receipt OF a number
of letters which indicate an impression. on
the part OF some persons at least. that It is
proposed to examine personal baggage only
when suspicion is aroused.
This Is erroneous. There must be no re-
Taxation in the protection OF the public
revenues. and the smuggler must have no
easier road to travel than prior to the issu-
ance of the recent circulars. The sole OBJ
ject of the notifications OF the rules was
to avoid petty annoyances and to give
somewhat more liberal construction to the
statutory provisions for the admission Of
personal effects. Neither the declaration
nor actual personal inspection will be
waived. nor will the courtesy Of the port be
extended to any persons (other than those
specified In department circular No. 20 OF
March g. 1p01). IN such manner as to ex-
empt from declaration and inspection.
Let the law be enforced kindly but firmly.
and let no favoritism be shown I'm the adj
ministration of the customs laws.

Navy Team Won Ball Game.

Victory perched proud and high on the
navy banner at West Point, Saturday after
noon By score Of to 8 the army went
to defeat with the cheers OF the victorious
middies ringing in their ears. West Point
expected to repeat last years performances
and send the middies home like wrecked
mariners. but Annapolis had been doing
some base ball thinking lately, which the
result plainly showed.
The number Of visitors that witnessed the
game was the largest seen at any former
contest at West Point. Among the early
arrivals were General Hawkins and his
daughter. Vassar was out in full force, as
usual, and the schools along the Hudson
were we'll represented. From every mill
tary and naval post within several hundred
miles came all officers who could get leave
or be spared from their duties. The root
ers for each side were well supplied with
small flags. and wore the colors Of their
favorite team. The sectional grand stand,
erected early In the day. gave corrfortab BILE
seats to all who had tickets The navy
rooters encouraged their team from the
east end with Annapolis colors. while on
the west end sat major generals, colonies,
and all the lower grade officers with their
families under the West Point colors The
cadets lined up on the north side Of the field
and did their best to infuse hope into the
discouraged soldiers.

SHOWED ITS TRUE FORM.
Commissioners Team Defeated Min,
From Marine Barracks.

The teams representing the District Com
missioners' Office and the marine barracks.
in the Departmental League, played an in
teresting game of base ball at the National
League Park Saturday afternoon, which re-
suited in a decisive victory for the Com
missioners' team. A former game between
these teams, played on the opening date of
the leagues schedule, resulted in a tie
score; and particular interest. therefore,
attached to the play-off, as was attested by
the numerous onlookers, including Gen.
Haywood. commanding the Marine Corps.
and Captain Chester Harding, the assist
ant to the Engineer Commissioner. The
winning team displayed for the first time
this season its real ability as a club.
The feature of the Commissioners game
was their very heavy batting and the bat
terry work of Barr and Harding. Barr had
six strike-outs, gave one base on balls and
hit one man. The Marines pitcher, Berger,
also had six strike-outs. gave three bases
on balls and hit one man. The best play
ing on their team was at first base and
behind the bat. Score:

in good length ahead Of the Naval Cadet
crew in two-mile race on the Severn at
Annapolis. Georgetown rowed a splendid
race and their time Of ten minutes and
fourteen seconds was very good under the
conditions that prevailed.
AS the high wind made 1t absolutely out
Of the question for the crews to race in the
lower or Annapolis harbor course and there
was no signs of the gale lessening 1t was
decided to row on the upper course.
The crews took the water in a very even
manner for time. Soon the cadets gained,
but In the first quarter 1t was evident that
the Georgetown men were more powerful,
rowed as well. and. unless an accident oc-
CURED, should win. In the first minute the
navy maintained the fast stroke Of thirty
nine, while the blue and gray were rowing
at the steady thirty-six. which they main
tained during the whole race.
Georgetown began to make substantial
gains after passing the first half mile, and
between that point and the three-quarters
of mile they went at least a quarter of
boats length to the good.
Annapolis was rowing such fast stroke
that 1t sometimes got jerky and the boat
would almost seem to stop as the oarsmen
recovered. The stern of the visitors boat
passed man after man of the cadet crew.
until at last it was even with it's bow
About this time the race was upon its last
half mile and Cadet Bingham, the little
coxswain. called for a last desperate eff
fort. The cadets made a plucky attempt
to drive their boat ahead and for a while
held their own, but just before the finish
the strong men from Washington pushed a
little further ahead and won the race with
a small strip OF clear water to the good.
The losing crew was four seconds slower.

Press to your heart the worlds ca

Sweet woman were ye once, chiqulta.

The rivalry that stirred your Spanish

Must now forevermore be cold and stilf.

Vaoueros who crossed streams your
hands to press.
Where are they now? The songs they
used to sing,
The courts they trod, the steeds oft
Remember you that dead hidalgo's eyes.
His shimmering gay serape meath the
palms,
Kisses he gave with vows so lightly
The glowing heart that drew you to
his arms?
oh. vows so falsely made. so lightly
broken,
Gone are ye now as is the jasmine
breath!
False to both loves, he rode across the
border.
And in his stead came only creeping
death.
oh, deep, deep, may your long forgetting

The passing years that drift and drift

Bees Swarm in Ships Mast.

Swarms of bees have been record
ed in many strange places, but in few
more unlikely than the masthead of
a ship. seaman of the sailing ship
Rhone, recently arrived at Bordeaux
from Dakar, mounted one of the
masts on Tuesday evening, but had
scarcely reached the top when he
was attacked by swarm of bees
that had somehow established their
hive" there, and was so severely
stung that he fell into the water,
hurting himself rather badly. Ulti-
mately the mast, which, oddly
enough, was of iron, had to be taken
down, and then fire was lighted
under the part where the bees had
succeeded in establishing themselves
to exterminate them by smoke.
