Curves and Bat Out a
Victory.

For an hour and five minutes the two
aggregations of stars from the major
baseball leagues hustled the ball around
the lot yesterday at Recreation Park.
They kept their blood in circulation by
rapplng out base hits, chasing after long
flies and scooping up torrids grounders
that happened to come rolling their way.
1t was but a short space of time in which
to play nine innings of ball, yet six runs
were piled up The Nationals accumulat-
ed four Of these and the remainder were
the property of the Americans.
Jack Chesbro of Pittsburg finally man
aged to get into the Victory column.
Ch6sbro has pitched many game against
his brother tossers since the two teams
opened hostilities in this city, but victory
held aloof and failed 10 smile on the curv-

Chesbro won all the way and the Amer
leans never had a chance. The husky
box artist had everything and had 1t
nearly all the time. The opposition team
never seemed to be able to land effectu-
ally and only got in for six scattered hits.

quently and with good results. Winnie's
slow ball was duck soup and the Nation
ais simply devoured it. Eleven safeties
in all were counted against the Detroit
man, including triple by Crawford and
doubles from the bats of Beckley and
Richie
The game was crowded with bits of
clever work in the field and was free from
errors except in the eighth inning, when
Ritchie fumbled grounder, thereby COM
mitting the lone blunder of the game. 1t
is announced that Jimmie Hanniyan, for

A BACHELOR TAX.
1t Costs An Unmarried Man as
Much to Live as a rIarried One
in the Argentine Republic.

In the Argentine Republic they
have solved to their own satisfac.
ton the bachelor problem" by the
simple method of making it cost ar
unmarried man as much money t.
live in unmarried bliss as it would
cost him to marry.
A man is marrIageble in Argen
tina when he is 20. If from tha
date and until he passes his thirty
eighth birthday he wishes to re
main single he must pay SIS month
to the state. For the next five
years the tax increases 100 pei
cent.
Between 43 and so bachelors is
mulcted to the: tune of $50 a month
From his 50th year to IS $50 a
month is the tax, but having
reached the 18th year the tax is re-
duced to $40 a year. After 80 a
man can remain single without
paying anything.
There is a paragraph relating to
widowers, who are given three
years in which to mourn and pick
a successor.
A man who can prove that he has
proposed and been refused three
times in one year is also considered
to have earned immunity from tax
alton.
It's said that the law works like
a charm.

VICTORY FOR RAILROAD.
L. & N. Wins Long and Short
Haul Case in the Appellate
Court.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 1.-THE
judgment of the Marion Circuit
Court in the long and short-haul
cases of the Louisville g. Nashville
Railroad Company against the Com
monwealth was reversed by the
Court of Appeals at to-day's ses-
sion.
The opinion of the court here is
that the investigation of the State
Railroad Commission, and an ad.
verse decision by it against the
railroad company, is necessary In
every case before an indictment can
be had under Section $40 of the
statutes (the long and short-haul
law); that no declaration of the
State Railroad Commission on the
subject of competition in freight
can be projected in the future, but
must act alone in the present and
past.
Judge Barker delivered the opin-
ion of the court, the full bench con-
sidsring the case. Judges Hobson,
Num- and Settle dissent from the
majority opinion, and the first
named writes dissenting opinion.
The actions, quite large number
of them, were by indictment against
the L. & N. Company by a Marion
county grand jury for violation of
the long and short-haul section of
the Kentucky statutes. In each
case the company was found guilty
in the lower court and fined. The
court here says peremptory instruc-
tions should have been given for the
company.
