Washington, Md, were lined up against
the Peters team, and 1t was q strong aggre-

score of four to one.
1t is seldom indeed. that such speed is
seen in an amateur pitcher as was dis
played by the elongated Carr from Fort
Washington. and his speedy balls were the
cause Of eight of the opposing team fam
ming out. Beckett was not quite SO speedy,
but his curves were more elusive, and he
added five strike-outs to his credit, while
the ball playing by both sides was fast and
snappy and deserving of great credit.

Irish Lad to Be Scratched Out Of Big
Chicago Race.

Whitney & Duryea's great three-year- old
Irish Lad winner of the Brooklyn handi-
cap, will hardly start in the American
Derby at Chicago. This statement. which
is made on the authority of Trainer RoG
ers. will be sad news to the many whose
wagers on the horse in the future books
have made him equal favorite with Savable
for the western classic.
Hermon B. Duryea, part owner of Irish
Lad, who has just returned from Europe.
was at Gravesend yesterday and talked
over the matter of sending Irish Lad TO
take part in the Chicago Derby with Train
er Rogers.
Mr.. Rogers said: MT Duryea will see
Mr.. Harry Whitney before deciding def
nitely, but it is more than likely the horse
will not be sent to Chicago.

Next Wednesday the birds will be shipped
to Waycross. Ga. the 6O0-mile station. for
liberation on the first favorable day. This

in not a single instance have the birds had
favorable atmospheric conditions and not
once have they eQualed the average speed

Base Ball Notes.

Chicago starts series Of three games to-
day
After a rest of over a week, Townsend
will probably pitch today.
Harry Bay makes many OF the outfielders
of the American League look cheap.
If George Carey could only get into his
true fielding stride the Senators wouldn' t
look so bad. The want of early practice
has kept Carey back.
Manager LOTUS is not seeking advice how
to run the team. He has been in the game
long enough to know the sport from every
angle and as he has money invested in the
Washington club he can be depended upon
to do his best to win the games. To hear
some of the comments 1t would seem as
though Lotus takes delight in losing
games. How silly
Although not winning the last three
games. the Senators played much higher
grade of ball than last week. which Is at
least something to be thankful for. If some
of the other clubs would only play poorly
once in a while. but Washington air ap-
pears to agree with all the visitors.
Manager Lotus would do well to get first
call on the Georgetown players in the flu
ture and nail each one as he quits COL
lege. In time he would have nothing but
the Blue and Gray in Senatorial costumes.
1t would be great thing for the game.
Delehanty Is at last over the coveted $40
batting mark. his bingles of yesterday plac-
ing him there. Now watch him set out for
the leaders. 1t will only be month 8 work
for the veteran.
The way matter are going with the Sen
ators reminds one of the old days when the
Wagners were in control. The present team
appears to be entirely out of the running,
and the Washington fans are hoping
that Manager LOTUS will at least get out
of the last position.

Roy Thomas is opposed to Sunday ball

The rev buds hravely peep.

British Army Snobs.
From the London Express.

There is a certain type of British officer
that is among the British army's worst
enemies We mean the officer who has
gone into the army mainly because the
kings commission is regarded as a hall
mark of "smartness' and social standing.
When, to the credit of the military authori-
ties. sundry volunteers, colonials and others
who had distinguished themselves in the war
were raised from the ranks and given COM
missions in the regular army, the reception
they would meet from these snobs might
have been anticipated. AS will be seen from
our news columns today, what was to be
expected has happened. The men who
have become officers through sheer merit
are. in case after case. being snubbed and
tabooed and rendered as uncomfortable as
thanks to their money. As we have said,
ly inexcusable and intolerabie. It Is very
unpleasant thin end of the wedge. from the
point Of view of officers of this kind, that
brains should invade what they would like
to keep as a close preserve of money; that
genuine smartness as soldier should chal-
lenge comparison with the other sort Of
smartness. Also, the newcomers have been
introduced not only to reward their own
merits and to secure valuable men, but as
an example and stiffening for others. On
every ground the wrong class Of officer
naturally resents their appearance; and at
messes where exclusiveness is preferred to
efficiency the social boycott was to be
reckOned uJOn.

account Of his having infringed the rule
OF the foreign Office at Berlin and married
a foreigner-an American lady. This rule
which was quoted in the reichstag In

that diplomatist might become too much

Precedence in Australia.

From the London Chronicle.
The recent distinction conferred by the
king on the cities of Melbourne and Sydney
in giving their chief magistrates the en-
HANGED dignity of lord mayor and the title
of right honorable, has raised some ques-
tions Of etiquette and precedence. 1t il
contended in some quarters that the title
of right honorable gives the lord mayor Of
Melbourne, the temporary capital of the
commonwealth rank and precedence over
the president of the federal senate and the
speaker of the house of representatives,
who are only honorables. If at the next
great viceregal function the lord mayor of
Melbourne attempts to go in ahead of the
first commoner of the whole of, the COM
monwea'th, complications may possibly
arise. But perhaps in the meantime the
Heralds College in London will be con-
suited this and kindred points, and an
amicable solution arrived at. BY the way,
Montreal and Toronto. the leading cities Of
Canada, are inquirng why they also should
not have lord mayors. Wei, II they bestir
themselves and request Lord Strathcona to
prefer the request in the right quarter.
doubtless their ambition will be gratiied.

s'The Worst Town in America"

From the Chicago-Record.
The title of worst town in America" has
been snatched from the brow Of proud, i'm
perial New York. No longer can the me-
tropolis Of the east boast of her supremacy
in the matter of abundant and variegated
forms of vice and crime. She is no longer
a top-notcher in the lurid allurements of
sin. She Is just plain, ordinary. quiet
milk station. not even on the main line to
PerdHion. If the satanic through flyer"
stops at the New York water tank some
one will have to flag it. The town is Off
the schedule
The center of vice and crime has moved
from New York to Davenport, Iowa. This
Is the testimony Of Bishop Cosgrove. a re-
spected citizen of the Iowa town. who
knows whereof he speaks. He declares he
has travelled all over this land, and he I'M
hesitatingly gives Davenport the pam for
all-around wickedness. In fact he assures
the citizens OF Davenport that they are
living In 1.-The worst town in America"
When Tammany went out of power 1t
soon became evident that the center of mu-
nicipal vice and debauchery was drifting
westward. 1t passed over Goshen, Kala-
mazoo and Aurora and settled upon the
benighted town Of Davenport. There 1t will
stay until Bishop Cosgrove organizes a
movement to make 1t move on or admits
that he is mistaken, as he probably is
