DUNLEAVY GETS SLEEPY

When the shades of night began to
come down in hurry up time on Recrea-
tion Park yesterday the Commuters had
one OF their number ornamenting each
and every bag. Mr.. Schlafiey held the
pat and two had already been called
out. Suddenly Mr.. Graham winged the
ball to first just in time to catch Mr..
Dunleavy taking his beauty siesta The
umpire then called the game, for night
was already at hand. Score, 1 to 1 (ten
innings).
OF course, the game was one full of
life, strife and action. Both Fitzgerald
and Schmidt were on their mettle and
pitched quality of ball that would go
In the big league. Fitz had his game
already signed UP and ready for deIiv-
cry when Truck Eagan erred with a
full house, giving the Commuters a
start.
With one down in the tenth, Schmidt
slammed the sphere to Eagan, who
made spectacular stop and then erred
on his throw to Nordyke Ganley died
easily, but F'rancks tapped out a safe
one to center, while Dunleavy popped
meek little fly into the diamond,
which both Fitzgerald and Sheehan
overlooked. Schlafey was at bat and

fore Graham whipped the ball to first,
catching him foot off the bag.
captain Graham announced that he
played the game under protest He
was at bat in the ninth and McLaugh-
lin rested on second. Schmidt had al
ready thrown two strikes over the pan.
Graham deliberately stepped out of his
box and into the next ball pitched.
Mclaughlin went down to third, but
the umpire ordered him back Then the
stars gathered around the Indicator
man and proceeded to discuss the ques-
ton. The umpire stuck by his decision
and Graham protested the game.
The Tigers were the first to get a man
over the pan. Sheehan led off in the
seventh with a smash to center, and
Nordyke put him down. Eagan shot
hot one over third. Devereaux blocked
it, holding Sheehan on the base. Lynch
kicked a fast one through the infleld
and 1t put Sheehan over the jumps.
The Commuters squeezed theirs
through in the eighth. Devereaux was
passed, but Byrnes forced him. Jimmy
pilfered second, and Ganley nearly took
Delmas off his pins with a hard drive.
Fitzgerald walked Francks purposely,
and Dunleavy smashed hard one to
Eagan. Truck booted the ball around
the lot till Byrnes sneaked in with the
run. The score:

large proportions would have been
made to-day when the Canadian turf

the card, with Scotch Plume. As IL was,
however, many thousands Of dollars

Scotch Plume's victory. With Hamburg

Loo Loos did to-day to the Orphans.
Newton's curves were puzzling, while

then Bernard knocked the ball over the

NEW YORK CITY GRATING
An Incident of the Traffic in Pub

New York City.

New York, April 27.-Emil A. Sonner
has been placed in the city prison on
an execution procured by a man who
says he paid the prisoner $225 to be
appointed a policeman. Sonner, a few
hours previously, had made a state
ment to District Attorney Jerome
along the lines of that made a few
days ago by William Duke, who as
serted that at least 100000 had been
collected by him and paid to certain
persons higher up" for positions in
the service of the city. Sonner, in his
statement ,issaid to have actually named
men connected with the civil service
commission. Until his statements have
been verified, however, the district at
torney says he will rest in the belief
that both Duke and SOnner were SIM
ply engaged in the business of getting
money from job hunters without rem
dering them any service.

SHIP SUBSIDY is ON DECK.
Pennsylvania Republicans Are Still
for the Old Flag and an
Appropriation.

The republicans of Pennsylvania at
their late state convention deplored
the condition of American shipping
and, 1.-THE fact that nine out OF every
ten ships which brought our imports
and bore away our exports last year
were foreign vessels, built abroad, off,
cered and manned abroad, a part Of
the potential naval reserve of foreign
governments" This depressing fact
seemed to have weighed upon the mind
OF Senator Quay, who dominated the
convention and who wrote or was re-
sponsible for the platform, for the plat
form continues, that it favored "the
building of an American merchant ma
rine that American built ships and
American seamen may have the carry
ing OF at least a fair proportion of
American passengers and freightage.'
This apparently patriotic utterance did
not evidently tighten the gloomy feel
ings of Senator Quay, nor ever one of
the hundreds of his satellites that at
tended the convention. No suggestion
was made of any hope of a way to i'm
prove this desperate condition. The con-
vention wishes to leave it to the voters
to discover the remedy. But this lack
of foresight, or statement of what
would quickly relieve the American
ship trust magnates from the slough of
despond, was we'll known to Senator
Quay. Only a short time before the
platform was concocted he had prom
lsed Griscom and Cassatt, respectively,
the ship trust and railroad magnate,
that such a plank would be included, SO
that when the ship subsidy bill was
received in congress all the Pennsyl-
vania delegation could justify their
votes for subsidy. The prospect of a
good large subsidy always cheers the
dropping spirits of a Pennsylvania re,
publican, but it does not always do to
publicly resolve for it, so Quay left the
voters in the dark and left them to
brood over the decline of the Ameri.
can marine.
Quay and the trust magnates know
there is millions in it, if the subsidy
bill can only be passed, but the peo-
PIE are rather tlckllSh on subsidies
they know they will have to pay the
big bill and are not so enthusiastic
for the old flag and an appropriation
as Quay and the ship trust magnates
are. In some other states the same
tactics will be used to bolster up the
discredited ship subsidy and if Pres
ident Roosevelt does not carefully
watch the incubation of the n%ationa,
platform by Senator Lodge he will be
committed TO the scheme as the Penn.
sylvania delegation are.
Only eternal vigilance will prevent
the subsidy hunters from loading the
taxpayers with this enormous expendi.
ture for a long term of years and their
persistence would have been rewarded
ere this if the democrats had not beer
on guard against 1t.
