Just little better and the lonely tally
won the game
Yesterday, in Chicago. the Chicago
pitchers were dead easy. and the Sena-

game. but it just happened to be the
day on which the Washington pitchers
were doomed to balloon and Chicago
again came out on top.
Townsend to the Woods.
Townsend. after his recent good work.
was thought to be capable of turning
the trick on the White Sox, but he was
belted for six hits in less than two in
nings. and was sent on his way Al
Orth went in to DO the longest piece
of pitching he has done this season. He
was tapped for eleven safeties in the
seven and one-haf rounds in which he
ofhciated and the Westerners had no
trouble in galloping home with runs ev-
cry few minutes.
The principal stickers for the Senators
were Moran and Setback, each of whom
connected safely three times McCor-
mick got double and a single, and
Stahl assimilated a double. Donovan
did not make hit. but stole a base and
made run and an error.

Palma Trophy Charge
Causes Much Trouble
District Guard Officer Denies He Wrote to
EngIishmen Charging Americans With De-
Cet-BritiShers Making Late Kick

fringement of the rules which ii has
been said gave an unfair advantage to
the Americans. The Palma trophy is for
teams Of all nations. Each team must
shoot with the service arm of the coun-
try IL represents. according to the con-
ditions Of the match, and II Is this
clause that has caused all the trouble.
The American team, which was chOS-
en- by the National Rife Association
after candidates had done considerable
shooting at Sea Girt last year, was
captained by Leslie { Bruce. who
worked very hard for its success. Cap
tain Bruce is now on the ocean. He
sailed last Saturday for Gibraltar, so
his versions of the affair cannot be had,
but he has talked with the members
OF the team and others. ana, accord
ing to those men, there has been no
cause for all the trouble that has been
raised by the London Times"
Opponents Knew 1t.
The Americans had special barrels
made for their rifles. No secret was
made that the men had these special
barrels, and the night before the match
was shot the captains of the teams en-
tered met and discussed the conditions
and arranged some minor details that
are always necessary in a match OF
such Importance as the one that was
about to take place.
According to one Of the members OF
the team who was seen yesterday. Cap
tain Bruce. after the meeting. told the
Americans that everything mad been
arranged satisfactorily and that he had
told the other captains that the Ameri-
cans had special barrels for their rifles.
He said that il was admitted by the
other captains that their men also had
special barrels and that not the slightest
objection was raised to the Americans
using their guns Captain Bruce said:
Use your special rifles and make nc
secret OF it
The men were in the hands Of their
captain and were perfectly satisfied that
everything was all right. Now the
point has been raised whether the cap
tains of the teams had the power TO
make any such agreement ard whether
the arrangement should not have been
made with the committee OF the British
Rife Association.
English Also Offended.
Major Palmer. of the Seventh New
York Regiment, who Is an enthusiast on
rifle shooting, said that it seemed TO
him that a technical violation Of tho
rules had been made, but not with any
intention Of taking any unfair advan-
tage of the other teams. He said that
in discussing the matter with members
OF the American team he mad learned
that the British team had special bar
rels, but before using them they had
been inspected by the official OF the
government and duly stamped. Who
made these barrels he did not know
On this side there IS no official stamp
! trouble would not have arisen.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-06-03

The article printed in yesterday af-
ternoon's Times to the effect that the
rupture between English and American
Tifemen because of the Illegal guns
used by the American team in the
Palma Trophy competition, was due TO
an officer of the District National
Guard, whom, 1t was alleged. wrote the
English team and advised it Of the
fact that the guns used by the United
States rihemen did not meet the re-
QUirements of the match, has evoked
reply from a representative of the per-
son who has been blamed for the trou-
Die
Denies Charge
To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
Your article Of yesterday rejecting
or an officer of the National Guard of
the District of Columbia seems TO be
designed by the ''well-known author
ity," who is not named. but whom you
rely on for the correctness Of the state
ment. to mislead and deceive The Times.
as well as its readers.
We advance the statement that this
neither ''well-known authority nor
anyone else has the least bit of evil
dence that the officer of the National
Guard of the District ever wrote the
English authorities a letter or com
nlunication Of any kind. before or after
the match took place. and this officer
authorizes me to see that you demand
some evidence TO support the statement
