Many Hits in This Game.

The Woodward & Lothrop and Stumph &
Lyford teams of the Commercial League
engaged in a smuggling match at National
League Park yesterday afternoon, the for
mer team which holds a strong lead In the
race for The Star Cup, winning by a handy
margin. There was nothing sensational in
the play aside from the torrent of singles
which came from the Woodward & Lothrop
bats. In the last inning the defeated team
turned the tables and got eight hits and as
many runs.

National League Clubs Standing.

The good work of Case Patten this season
between the Senators and Athletics, at
American League Park. would be close and
interesting, but the contrary was the case,
the Quakers walking away with the scalps
of the locals by the score of IL to 3. The
splendid weather and the added attraction
of seeing the great Waddell work for the
Athletics served to draw quite a liberal at
tendance to the park. The Senatorial in
field was still broken up through the alb
sence of Coughlin and Clarke. and the To-
Gals went into the game in a half-hearted
way. Quick to this state of affairs, the
Athletics opened up Savagely on Patten
and coupled with pair of misplays by
Robinson and Lee. scored enough runs in
the first inning to win the game. From
that time the game a one-Sided af-
fair. Patten continuing easy PROPOSE
ton throughout and the batting averages
of several of the Athletics were given
marked boost
The great Waddell appeared to appreciate

along like a whiriwind. the Senators going
out in regular order in four innings. In the
seventh. doubtless seeing that the game
was won. Waddell let up in his speed and

How the Runs We're Made.

In the first inning Davis, Lave Cross and
Murphy made triples, Hoffman a single.
Robinson and Lee errors and five runs were
hung up to the Quakers' credit. After taxi
ing rest for two inning the Athletics
vent to work again with their bats in the
fourth. tearing off three singles, and with
Robinson s second error three more runs
were scored. In the sixth Pickering tripled
him. In the seventh SeybOld lifted a nice
fly over the left field fence for a home run
In this inning the Senators got busy with
their sticks and scored their lonesome three
tallies of the game. Setback opened up
with a triple over Hoffman's head in left
and Lee soaked another over Pickering 8
head in center. good for three bases, the
first named scoring. Robinson coaxed a
base on balls from Waddell, but McCor-
mick was called out on strikes. KittredSe
followed with a double to the right field
fence. sending Lee home and Robinson to
third. Patten then hit to Murphy and
while he was being thrown out at first
Robinson rushed home with the third and
last run.
In the eighth Shrek wound up the Ath-
letfcS scoring with a fine drive over the
left field fence and made the circuit of
the bases, making a total of eleven runs
Neither side did any scoring in the last
inning. although Mccormick got as far as
second base on his single and a wild pitch
by Waddell.
Umpire Hassett made his first appearance
In Washington and did WELL although from

VOTE OF CENSURE
Against Secretary Brodrick
in the Commons.

London, Feb. 23.-T-The criticism Of the
British war Office eliminated in the
house of commons today in a motion for
a vote of censure against War Secre-
tary Brodrick- The motion was in the
shape of amendment to the address
in reply to the speech from the throne
regrettng the fact that the forganiza-
ton of the army was not suited to the
needs of the empire and that no proper
tionate gain in strength OF efficiency
had resulted from the recent increase Of
military expenditure"
The motion was identical with an
amendment moved by Sir Henry Camp
bell Zimmerman, the liberal leader, when
Mr.. Brodrick introduced his army re-
form scheme in 1901. Today. however,
the vote on censure was proposed by
Mr. Beckett, an influential conservative.
who was supported by a considerable
section of revolving unionists- In intro
ducing the motion Mr.. Beckett declared
that Mr.. Brodrick had deplorably neg
1ected the greatest opportunity ever
given to a minister and had produced
scheme which was not only unsound in
principle, but was rufnoUS IN practice
and enormously costly.
The fears that the government might
be defeated on the Br0drick amendment
in the house Of commons were made the
most of earlier in the day by the bears,
who apparently Influenced the sharp re-
lapse which took place in consols on the
stock exchange, causing depression Of
the general list at the close Of the day.

His Sentence for Scorching Will Not

Paris, Feb. 23.-W- K. Vanderbilt sr-
arrived late last Saturday night and
left on Thursday night for Monte Car

flat on the Champs Elysees.
His visit conceded with that of the

Marlborough. who arrived February 13
from Monte Carlo. The Marlboroughs

times and went to the theater with him.
The duke and duchess left Paris for
Blenheim on Wednesday,
Nothing more is likely to be heard
of the conviction of Mr.. Vanderbilt
who was sentenced some time ago to
two days Imprisonment for "scorch-
ing in an automobile in Paris.
When the police made the charge
they thought it was w. K. Vanderbilt

pealed from the sentence, which was

Paris. and then it came out that when
the ..scorching'' was done the duke of

Of Legislature.
Pay Of Members VIII Stop Next
Week.
EMPLOYEES FAVORED.
Their Remuneration Continues
as Long as the Session.
House Works Until Six O'Clock
Saturday Evening.

The pay OF the members Of the Iesis-
lature viii stop on Tuesday Of nexs
week, March 8. For this reason it is
expected that the work of the session
will be wound up next week and final
adjournment taken. The members do
not like to stay long after their pay
stops.
Because the time is getting so short
the house concluded to work Saturday
and today. Heretofore they have ad-
journed on Thursday or Friday over to
O'Clock on Monday afternoon. But
last Saturday the house worked right
up to o'clock in the evening. There
was only bare quorum there most OF
the day. but business was transacted
just the same and the calendar cleared
up. Then contrary to its general rule
an adjournment was taken to 10 o'clock
this morning instead of 4 o'clock tins
afternoon. The house sees the necessity
of hurrying and it proposes to do 50.
The employees are in no hurry to 80
home. They are not limited 70 Atty
days pay. If the legislature should be
in session for three months they would
get their three dollars a day right along.
The appropriations for legislative pur-
poses have thus far been 100000 Il IS
probable that another appropriation
win be necessary. Up to last Saturday
about S72. 900 had been used, leaving the

so that the total expense of this legis-
lature will foot up to about 100000.
A committee to revise the calendar
will probably be appointed in the holase
within a few days. One has already
been appointed in the senate. This com
mittee is extremely powerful. as 1t has
the power to practically kill any btll on
the calendar by putting il to the rear
where it cannot be reached before the
close of the session. That il why the
house is making such strenuous efEorta
