employment OF children OF school age,
and OF others who neglect 20 send children

authorities OF that town..
supt. J. II Chapman or the Allendals
dlk mill today retracted his former plea
OF not guilty OF having unlawfully en-
ployed a Is year old girl st that establish
ment and admitted sufficient evidence to
convict.
His counsel J. J. Nolan. Jr.. informed
the counrt that there had been no at
tempt, no desire 10 disregard the law.
The child had appeared for work, and
her sister, who was then employed at
the mill had declared that the applicant
was II years old.
Mr.. Chapman agreed 90 provide work
Tor her II she brought 10 him the nsoes-
sary school permit,
The girl procured a written excuse from
one OF The Sisters at the French Catholic
school which the boss accepted under the
impression that the document was such
n ono as the law required should be pre-
scented by the child
Tho latter was OF the right age 20 work
IN the mill and had she gone TO the
town school artrorities. her parents being
willing that she sho1ild so 70 work. she
would have been entitled 20 receive q
oorttncats from them.
lnasmuch as there had been no infrac-
t1cu OF the soul OF the law. but an un-
iufemfipnaI non-observance OF one pro-
'v1zdon OF the act, counsel suggested that
. light fine would answer all purposes
Judge Sweetland asked Mr.. McAvoy II
fhs circumstances as related by counsel
were true.
Mr.. McAvoy said that when he visited
this particular mill last October he found
I've children were working there who
should ne I'm school.
Mr.. Chapman had sent them home and
this child was the only one that had since
been illegally employed.
There were, he said, other mills in the
town where the law was being violated.
and II was his intention 20 proceed imme-
diately against every offender.
Judge Sweetland imposed a fine OF $40
and costs
Ernest Bissot was then arraigned on
the charge OF neglecting to send his 10
year-old daughter. Louisa, TO school
Mr.. McAvoy found that Bissot put tho
child into a French school where no Eng
fish whatever was taught. and that the
father had informed the district school
teacher that he could manage his daugh-
ter without Interference on the part OF
the towns school authorities.
Following up the case Mr. McAvoy
found that Louisa had not attended any
sessions OF the French school for nearly
two months.
Bissot was fined $40 and costs

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE.
Today's Game.
Interiors Defeated War Team in Loose
ly Played Game.
White Lot-Navy VS.. Post Office.

~ AdyCo 00AuO.
The game on the White Lot yesterday
afternoon, in the Departmental League, was
marred by errors. The team from the War
Department was pitted against that of the
Interior Department and the former won by
a score of 20 to 16. Both teams played
poor game in the field, but at the bat they
hit the ball at will. Once the men got on
base it seemed easy matter to score, as
their fellow players generally came up with
a hit.
Although there was considerable hitting
in the game the pitchers did good work, as
Wolfe was credited with pine, strikeouts and
Finnegan with two while Madden had four
and McCabe three to their credit. Shorty"
Raab, who covered the short field position
for the Interior team, carried off the fielding
honors, as he had six chances without an
error
At the bat Wilcox led he securing three
hits, single and two two-bag9ers. Bate
man and Irwin each secured three hits.
The Interior boys went first to the bat
and managed to secure four hits, which net
ted them two runs. In their turn at the bat
the winners secured four hits. which, with
three errors to help them, scored seven runs
Another tally was made by the losers in
the second while the War team failed to
score. A single, stolen base and an error
gave Interior one more in the third TWO
runs resulted for the War in their half
Interior secured four hits and six runs in
the fourth, and the War in their half again
scored seven runs, which ran the score
up to 1G to 10.
Each man had turn at the bat with two
over in the fifth for the Interior, which
gave them total of six runs. This ended
their scoring. as in the next inning F'innegan
held them safe. Two in the fifth and two
more in the sixth ended the scoring OF the
War team. The score:

JAMAICA RACES.
Pasadena Won Williamsburg Handicap
bv a Head

The racing at Jamaica yesterday brlstled
with interesting incidents, although the
crowd of 10000 enthusiasts did not fare
particularly well with the defeat of four
heavily backed favorites. The weather
was cold and raw and the track in such
good condition that fast time prevailed.
The feature was the Williamsburg Hand
leap for three year-olds, six furlongs, and
a ragged start spoiled it SO far as the
chances of Diamond, the top weight, were
concerned. Diamond closed an equal ia
vorite with James McLaughlin's Pasadena,
at II to 5. Pasadena, who was in receipt
of six pounds from Diamond, got clever
ride from Lucien Lyme, who brought him
through on the rail in the stretch, and
then, putting the whip to him. took the
race in a heavy drive by head from Sgd
closing so resolute1y that he would proba-
bly, have won in another jump. Diamond
Flush. Is to 1, who was front runner
with Buttling after getting the best of the
start, finished third. half length hack.
Diamond. who was off poorly. finished alb
solutely last. The race was run in LIZ 2-5.
Pasadena's success was not the only
feather in McLaughlin'S cap, for he won
the first race with Blue Coat, II to 1
shot, took second money with Oxford in
the last and trained Gold Dome, II to 1.
the winner of the fifth. Blue Coats vic
tory occurred in six furlong sprint. Nc
rush that resulted in the defeat of Julia
M, ~ to /, by length. The latter beat
Goldfeur, 10 to 1, by head, after the
Goldflnch gelding had led to the stretch.
The public's money was well consumed by
the choices, Head Dance, Gotowin and
Delcanta.
MCDANIEL also rode Gold Dome in clever
style in the race at a mile and seventy
yards He waited with him until the far
turn was reached and then rushed him up
on the outside. AS he went to the whip
Jane Holly, II to /, and Hands Across,
backed down to 10 to 5, were under similar
pressure, SO that it was a gallant struggle
all the way to the judges, where Gold
Dome won by head. with Jane Holly
length and half before Hands Across.
Lord Badge. the favorite. was pounds the
best horse In the race, but he was away
poorly and after Crimmins had taken the
overland route with him and made a bold
bid for the lead the old fellow stopped
and finished two lengths outside of the
money.

the most successful gatherings since the
popular Scotch game was started in this
vicinity. The entry list is unusually large,
and from out of town the golfers who have
signified their intention of participating in
the tournament class up high not only in
numbers. but in playing ability.
For the past five years the Chevy Chase
club, has been trying to get Findlay 8.
Douglas to come down here and take part
in the tournaments of the spring or fall.
but other engagements kept him away. At
the present time Mr.. Douglas is In WASH
ington on business and may take part in the
qualification round tomorrow. If he Is I'M
able to play tomorrow he has positively as
sured the greens committee that he will
play in the handicap Saturday. Mr.. Doug
las is the ex-amateur champion of the
United States and is undoubtedly one of the
best players of the country. There is hard
ly tournament held on the metropolitan
circuit in which he has played that he has
not finished in the lead or close enough to
be a factor until the very last day. He and
Champion Travis have had some splendid
battles and the dividing line between the
two is very narrow
Another out-of-town crack player is
Harold Selfridge of Boston, who was
member of the Massachusetts team that
played against the team from England last
season.
Two foreign players who have signified
their intention of entering the tourney are
David Baxter of the Barnoustie Club, Scot
land, and D. E. Moore, St. James Club,
London. Other players hailing from out of
town clubs are William H. Duff, I'd, Edge
wood Club. Pittsburg; Joseph Anderson,
Pittsburg Country Club; Sidney Maddox.
Crescent Club New York, and Patrick
Grant. Brookline Country Club.
This group of visiting players all class up
high and the local golfers will have their
work cut out for them to keep one or more
of the nine handsome prizes at home. 1t is
expected that several of the Baltimore golf
ers will be over, and altogether the con-
tests should be exciting and interesting In
the three days' play Since last fall the
course has been heightened 200 yards, max
ing the entire distance covered by the
eighteen holes 1904 yards.
Professional Douglas has the greens in
perfect condition and he predicts numerous
low scores In the qualification round to-
morrow.

as the boys from Capitol Hill failed to
tally again throughout the game. This
have their share of fair maidens roofing
upon account of the fact that the Manual
Training boys had young Mr.. Kohler send
Ing a delivery over the plate that was
puzzle as far as the heavy hitters from
Eastern were concerned. The summing
up of the game shows that Eastern got
three hits off his delivery and that Tech
meal hit Oyster safely four times. Com
missioner Henry 3. F. mcfarland was in
attendance at the game and threw the first
ball over the plate. and after that each
batter UP did his best to hit the center
field fence, and the result was that such
heavy hitting attempts caused the major
ity of the mighty hitters to fan. Oyster
must not be forgotten, for while he did
not win, he pitched good ball throughout
the contest, and in the eighth inning, when
Technical piled up three runs, he was dis
couraged and traded positions with Lin
thicum at short, the tall boy taking his
place in the box. Oyster did not get the
support that. KOhler received, and if he
had the result would certainly have been
closer He had seven strike-outs to his
credit and got two of the three hits made
by his team. Eastern displays the true
school spirit, and yesterday when one
would go down before the curves of the
young church Lacquer who was pitching
for Technical he looked as though he did
not entirely understand the proceedings.

ahead, score to 3. Both Murphys tried to
Guido each other. the result being a game
which was highly exciting and character
lied by long hits and fast, clean fielding
The Vermonts had little the better of the
argument, pulling off four fast double
plays.
Murphy. for the Vermonts besides catch
ing in his usual fine style. made two long
hits which figured greatly in the scoring.
Prowdy, the Vermonts' sturdy pitcher,
pitched good, steady game, and was well
supported at critical times.
Manager Frank A. Murphy of the G. A.
o. made two sensational catches back of
second base, and saved the game several
times.
The Vermonts are now leading the league
with LOGO per cent, and it looks like they
can play ball. 1t is settled that they have

BRoOKLANDS IN FRONT.
Defeated Riverdale in One Sided Game,
Z to /.

The Brookland and Riverdale teams
played an eight-inning contest yesterday,
and the latter narrowly escaped a shut-out,
darkness enabling them to score a lone
tally. An attempt was made to play the
full nine innings, but hits and errors came
so rapidly that it was impossible to keep
track of them. Middlekauff pitched an ex-
cellent game and his team backed him up
we'll and swatted the ball at opportunc
times. Shipley's batting. Marean's center
field playing and Rodler's work at third
were the features. McGregor pitched good
game. but the errors of his team mates
were costly. The score:
