Lowe Loses on q Foul.

Dick Anderson of Canada was awarded
a decision over Tommy Lowe of Washing
ton in the eighth round of a fight at the
Bijou Theater Saturday night before the
Eutaw Athletic Club. Lowe was disquali-
fed for hitting in a clinch. The men had
agreed to box with clean breaks
Lowe Is somewhat deaf and Referee
Tommy Daily had to yell at him to break
from clinches. In the first two rounds
Lowe hit several blows after order to
break had been given. He got mild eau
ton and boxed fairly until the sixth round.
During this time when the pair were in a
clinch Daily was yelling himself hoarse. In
the latter part of the seventh round Lowe
began again to hit in clinches, and DAILY
warned him In effect that If he hit in q
clnch again he would disqualfy him.
Early in the eighth round the pair went
to clinch again. loves left arm was
about Anderson's neck. Lowe sent in a
vicious right uppercut flush to Anderson S
chin. DAILY had not ordered the men to
break, but said the blow was 50 palpably
foul that he disqualified Lowe.

Athletics Made Best Showing on the
Western Trip.

If the railroad trains are on time the
Nationals should reach home tomorrow
morning at O'Clock, having left st. Louis
at midnight Sunday, after tour of the
western cities that can only be called fair
ly successful. After playing four games
with the Bostons on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, the Nationals go to Philadelphia for
four games with the Athletics, and then
return for twenty straight games on the
home grounds.
OF the eastern clubs the Athletics made
by far the best showing on the western
trip gaining AS points after opening at ST
Louis on May II. New York shows the
greatest loss, 106 points, and dropping into
the eighth hole. Washington lost 60 points
and Boston practically held its own, losing
but three points. OF the western teams
Chicago profited most by the fasteners
visits, gaining lib points. st. Louis lost
practically what the Athletics gained-46
points.

ST. LOUIS Mo, May 29.-Tab up an
othcy game for Barney Petty. 1t was Bar
ney who went against Washington this aft
ernoon with some 10000 fans out to see
Jake Stahl and his new Nationals, and
when the crowd wendell its way homeward
the score board showed five runs to the
credit of st. Louis. while Washington had
but one, once more validating Pelty's right
to being called the lucky pitcher of the
Browns. 1t was Pelty's fourth straight vic
tory and he again pitched a clever game.
st. Louis batted hard and timely and by
making Washingtons errors count hard soon
had a safe margin ahead of them. Case
Patten being the one responsible for mast
of the runs. The Nationals kept pound ng
along in the rear. but close enough to
keep matters interesting, as they kept clout7
ing the ball in a way that foreboded
rally disastrous for st. Louis before the
end. Koehler's work was easily the feature
of the game. and he was twice given an
ovation by the crowd.
Cassidy fielding was a feature for Wash
ington, the youngster taking care of nine
chances in finished style, but making a
break a tenth,
Washington's only run was scored
through wild throw by Weaver in the
opening inning. With Jones down, Hill
cut IL uouDIe past tllItu WHEN lie SIdILeu
| to steal third. after Stahl had been retired.
Weaver threw wild TO that bag and Hill
came home.
Some stupid fielding by either Cassidy or
Mil cost Washington two runs in the second
half of the inning. Stone fouled out but
Koehler singled to center FriSk followed
with a roller to Patten, and on the latter's
bad throw to second koehler went on to
third. Jones hit into Mil and went out at
first while Koehler scored, and when Wal
lace singled to left Frisk came home. Moran
rolled to Cassidy and died at first.
There was nothing doing in the second,
but St. Louis got busy again in the third.
Stone started off with fly to Jones' but
Koehler was passed. Frisk hit into Patten,
and the latter let the ball slip out of his
hands and rolled toward right field. Koehler
landing at third and Frislf at second. Jones
drove liner safe to left and Koehler and
Frisk scored Wallace singled also, but Mo-
ran forced him and Jones went out trying a
double steal
The Browns fifth and final run came in
the fourth. Gleason walked and Weaver
sacrificed. Petty flew to Jones. Stone sin
gled to right and Gleason scored. Stone
was out stealing. The Browns looked
threatening in both the seventh and eighth
innings but could not get across the plate
double play putting them out in the latter
inning.
The Nationals best chance to score was
spoiled by koehler's great throw home in
the fifth inning, cutting off Kittredge at the
plate and putting stop to rally.
Washington also got two men to base In
the seventh through two hits at the opening
of the inning. but they died on first and sec
ond. the three outs being made without Civ
ing a chance for them to advance. The

Suspect Foes of Dynamite.

Both the investigating officials OF the
Pennsylvania railroad and the police of
Jersey City are convinced that the explo-
sion of dynamite on the new bridge now In
course of construction by that system
across the Hackensack river was a DELHI
crate attempt to wreck the structure, plan
ned and executed by enemies OF the COM
pany It is declared that skiff was stolen
by the dynamiters, In which they rowed
to the bridge, placed the explosive under
wedge plate of the steel work, with time
fuse attached. and then escaped on the
west side OF the river leaving the boat
adrift. 1t was picked up in the morning.
1t Is not believed that any connection ex

bridge and the explosion in the excavations
at 31st street and 9th avenue on Friday
afternoon, which is ascribed to accident.

Base Ball Notes.

The morning game tomorrow starts at

The Nationals did very well to stick to
fifth place with only four victories.
Jack Townsend will probably pitch the
morning game tomorrow and Jacobson the
afternoon. Gibson and Winter will most
likely tro to puzzle Manager Stahl and his
companions.
A fine accommodation has been provided
for the horsemen who go to the games at
American League park in carriages In-
stead of picking their way through the
crowd at the entrance after the games, a
driveway has been provided in left field
that will let them out in quick order.
Don't look for high-class base ball to-
morrow morning. Forty hours on a rail-
road train in this hot weather is enough to
make every one of the Nationals groggy.
Pat Donovan is taking things easy in st.
Louis. He has given out nothing regarding
the negotiations that are pending between
the Cincinnati club and HIM
Denny Sullivan, who failed to make good
with Washington and Detroit, is leading
the American Association in hitting, with
an average of .42S in ten games He is
with Minneapolis.
Jack Doyle, the old big league first base
man, is being used behind the bat by
Toledo. Jack Boyle. the former catcher,
who makes his home in Cincinnati, is cover
ing first.

Fraudulent Enlistment of Minors.

Judge Advocate General Davis has given
an opinion in regard to the fraudulent
listment in the army of minors whose
parents subsequently demand their release
from the service. Recruiting officers are
instructed to warn recruits to what they
may expect in case their enlistment Is
fraudulent Where a minor is fraudulently
enlisted he may be discharged without
honor or he may be- tried by court-martial
and IL convicted sentenced to be dishonor-
ably discharged or to confinement, or for
fixture in the discretion of the Secretary of

Can't. Murray's Invention.

The War Department has Just received
a report upon the fireless stove from Capt.
Michael s. Murray of the subsistence de-
partment Of the army on duty at Fort
Riley, Kan, where that officer has been
conducting experiments with the device.
Some weeks ago the State Department
learned Of method of cooking without
the aid of fuel. 1t was a development of
an old Norwegian method, exhibited years
ago as an automatic Kitchen The pro-
cess employs the use of hay packed as
lining of a box and renewed every three
or four weeks. The food which has been
taken from the real stove and placed In
pots In transferred to the hay box. where
the cooking is continued. Capt Murray
found that in baking beans the operation
required several hours ON the fire. where
as when the freless stove was used five
minutes of boiling was sufficient, and the
remainder of the service was rendered by
the hay box.

Facts About the Philippines.

The bulletin of the Philippine CEN
sus says:
The archipelago consists of $40 in
dependent groups of islands, with an
aggregate population of 1855, 426.
About 9 per cent are wild tribes; the
remainder more or less civilized
chiefly less. All are Catholics in re-
ligion. There are only four cities of
over 10000 population. Three-ifths
of the people live in villages. There
are only $4,000 foreigners and three
fourths of these are Chinese. The
population has quadrupled in 100 years.
The line of demarkation between the
tribes is closely drawn. The people
are too clanish to marry outside their
tribes. There are as many females,
practically, as males, but only one-third
of the population is married.
Only about half the population can
read any language. Less than that
per cent can write. Only one-fifth can
both read and write. The college edu-
Gated form about liz per cent of
the total.
The mass of people cultivate small
patches of ground and gardens and
fish and hunt The women are expert
weavers. Among the Visayans are fine
needlewomen, embroiderers, lace max
ers, etc.
The vital statistics show that the
people develop early, marry early and
die early-S2 per cent before the age
of fifty. Malaria carries away ~ per
cent, cholera 80 per cent. Contagious
diseases can scarcely be controlled on
account of the ignorance as to santa
ton, etc.
