TIPS FROM The BAT

Jerry Nops looks as though he needed
a great deal more training before he
can get into shape.
"Rube" Faulkner was touched up
pretty lively, but was given excellent
support.
Everson was hit hard, but then the
game was lost before Bert started in.
Russell had a stiff neck and several
hits got past him.
Pinnance will be a strong addition to
the pitching STAFF.
Sullivan made a sensational one-hand
catch in the eighth inning.
Lord is surprising the fans by his
fast work in right field.
Rochester played a good game.
Everson was unkind enough to ask
Fertsch If he remembered Pennsgrove.
The A. A. two years ago touched
Fertsch UP at Penhsgrove for 2S hits.
Rochester opens the season at Jersey
City today.
This cold, damp weather is hard on
ball players. - -.f -4-
Anderberg caught a fairly good

hitter of the American League.
All other pitchers can tip their hats
to Chesbro, of the New York team. He
has the distinction of being the first
pitcher in either Of the major leagues
to score a home run in a championship
game this spring.
"Uncle Az rratt, Of Pittsburg, is Of
the opinion that Tommy Leach will
outclass all the other third basemen in

FIRST DEFEAT DEFEAT FOR
WILMINGTON BALL TEAM
Rochester Team Takes Big
End of Score in Second
Game

Wilmington A. A. suffered It's first de-
feat yesterday in a swatting contest.
at South Side Park. Rochester got
back to the tune Of 10 to 8 for the do
ings Of the day before.
Jerry Nops essayed to do the serving
FOR the locals. but his life on the slab
was short. He was badly out Of condi-
tion and was handing out balls that
not only frightened the battcrs, but
kept Piper guessing where the next one
was coming.
Mr.. Nops started doings by present
ing Collins with walk-down. To help
him along he passed in a wild pitch,
allowing him TO reach second. De-
groff was then soaked in the short ribs
Feeling badly for hitting him Nops
made reparation by making another
wild pitch. Lepine and Flourney land
ed for hits, scoring Collins and Degroff
Jerry was then relieved by Everson
Smith landed on a single and Lepine
and Flourney tailed. Anderberg flied
out TO Russell and Smith came home
This performance not only queered the
game for the spectators but put the
players out of heart
Faulkner, the old-time A. A. twirler,
was on the slab for Rochester. In the
sixth inning he was relieved by Fertsch.
"Rube" was touched up for six hits
and his successor for seven.
Both teams had their eye on the ball,
but Russell had trouble in locating
flies on account Of a stim neck. AS a.
consequence he had three errors mark
ed up against him. He made home run
which partly reinstated him In the
graces OF the fans.
The locals did nothing In the way Of
scoring until the fourth inning. They
played lifeless game, uninteresting to
the spectators and tiresome to the play

TO TEMPERANCE PARTY
GEN. MILES WRITES A VERY SIG
NIFICANT LETTER.
Recommends That His Friends Should
Not Call a Convention Until
Other Two Parties Meet.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Rev. James B.
Dunn. D. D., of this city has received the
following letter from Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
retired:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March Is, 1904.
Rev James b. Dunn, D. D., New York:
Dear Sir-Your letter of recent date was
duly received. For your kindly expressions
please accept my thanks. Our country is
now confronted by a situation and is called
upon to decide questions of the greatest
moment Not since the adoption of our
Constitution have greater responsibilities
rested upon the sovereign voters of this
country than those which will be placed
upon them during the coming autumn.
These questions are national and affect
the very foundation and form of our gov
ernment. My thought and serious consid-
GRAFTON have been directed to the matter
herein indicated.
The estimable citizens whom you repre-
sent cannot fail to take deep interest in
the decision of these questions, as we'll as
in that one highly important matter which
you so earnestly desire to promote.
1t is a truth old as holy writ that
temperance is one Of the seven cardinal
virtues. Is not its advocacy consistent
with like jealous advocacy of great ma
tional questions not directly involving tt?
The two great political parties of nearly
equal strength that divide the country will
make nominations and announce platforms
within the next few months. Should either
make such nomination and announce such
principles as will command the approval
and cordial support of those whom you rep
resent the opportunity to advance the OBJ
5ects OF the temperance party would be
offered. while at the same time the patri-
otic men composing that party would con-
tribute most essentially to the uplifting Of
our country from menacing evils
Should no nomination be made by either
of the great parties that would command
the cordial support of the temperance peo-
pie the opportunity to make a nomination
Of its own would still remain
For the reasons herein briefly Indicated
am strongly of the opinion that it would be
inadvisable for the temperance party to
hold its convention until after it has had
an opportunity tc observe the action of the
other two.
remain, very truly yours

SEEKING A WAY OUT.
Swayne Impeachment Case Bothers the
RepubIican Managers in Congress.

Repu bl1can Managers III SonSIesS.
The republican managers OF the House
and Senate are busying themselves with the
problem of a prolonged session of Congress
presented by the Swayne impeachment
case. They are seeking some way out OF
the difficulty so that the original program
for adjournment about May 1 can be car
ried out.
Two propositions have been suggested.
The first is to quash the whole case by
passing a bill abolishing the judicial district
over which Judge Swayne presides, pro-
viding for the transaction of the business
In the other districts of the state and there
by legislating him out of office.
The other suggestion Is that the charges
might be presented by the House and an
agreement reached between the House and
Senate by which Congress should adjourn
and the Senate called in extra session to
conduct the impeachment.
1t is understood that member OF the
House judiciary committee is drawing up
a bill to abolish the federal district court.
1t is said that this bill will meet with con-
siderable opposition, not alone confined to
the democrats. Many lawyers in both
houses are of the opinion that the charges
against Judge Swayne presented by the
state legislature and indorsed by q COM
mittee of the House of Representatives
should not he passed over, but should be
investigated In the manner prescribed by
the Constitution of the United States, and
IL sustained the offender should be pun
ished. Some of the strict constitutionalists
are opposed to evading the impeachment
proceedings by legislating man out Of
ofdce. and think It would be setting bad

THE NEW COMMISSION

BE ON THE ISTHMUs
Practically Determined That the Body
Will Be Made Bureau Under
the War Department.

TWO important points have been dave,-
oped In connection with the work Of tho
isthmlan canal commission One fs that
the headeasfters Of the commission prob
ably will be on the Isthmus of Panama in
stead OF in Washington, and the other that
NOT all the time Of at least five of the conn
missioners will be devoted to the cana1
work
Inc commission now has under consider
alton the matter of the establishment of
permanent headquarters in Panama. The
Inoicatlons are that the decision will he
mat IN most respects it will be desira bic
that the permanent offices of the ho6v
should be on the ground where the actual
work of canal digging is being done If is
sala 70 De not unlikely that offices will be
maintained IN Washington also; but the
orlces here will not be the headquarters of
the commission WI . u
Admiral Walker, the chairman Of the
commission, and Gen. Davis, the army
MEMBER OF the body, will devote their en-
tire time to the canal work; but it is point
ed out that the private interests of the
other mem oers are of such Importance tina I
.hey VIII oe compelled to give part of
their time to them This, it is pointed out
was understood when they accepted their
appointments on the commission The
time they devote to their private interests
Will not interfere, however with their
work on the commission.
Legislation now pending before Congress
provides for the appointment of governor
of the American zone in Panama Should IT
be enacted into law 1t is quite probable
that the President may designate Gen.
Davis as the governor of the canal strip
Gen. Davis had experience in the Philip
pines which especially fits him for that
position in Panama. No definite decision,
however, has been reached yet regarding
that appointment. The action of Congress
will govern entirely the determination of
the President.
The President has practically determined
that the commission shall be made a bureau
under the War Department That PROPOSE
ton is not pleasing TO all of the members
affairs of the War Department has been so
successful and economical in its auditing
and general management of details of gov
ernmental affairs in the Philippines Cuba
and Porto Rico that 1t is felt to be the
proper bureau to look after the myriad de-
tails of the government of the canal zone
