THE FIRST OF THE SEASON
MIDDIES BASE BALL TEAM IS
VICTORIOUS.
Colo Weather Prevented Good Work
But Some of The Men
Showed Well.
THE GAME WAS PLAYED IN A
SNOWSTORM.

: Although the chilly wind which
nleW from the Chesapeake Bay made
football the more appropriate game,
| the midshipmeu opened their baseball
season Lore Saturday afternoon with
George Washington University, of
Washington, ID. O., as their opponent
and won by a score of II to ..
Iie game was called at the end of
the sixth inning, the cold being so
great that the drinking water froze
over, and tfere was a furry of snow
just as Ehe game ended. The game
was no real test of playing ability,
though some of the men on both teams
gave sofne promise The field work
OF che snidshipmen was fair, and of
the thrC9 pitchers whom they used
Needharn, Lamphier and Van Auken.
the tW1 first named did excellent
work. Iu the one inning in which
Van Auken pitched, he hit batter
and sent four to bases on balls PLAYERS
aud the few loyal rooters VINO remain
ed were heartily glad when the game
was oyet.
George Washington scored two runs
Ia the FIST inning. Price was safe on
BabcocE's error, bat was forced by
Bradley Webber struck out but
Burket was hit by Needham. Nor
rissy then cracked cut a safe hit. which
was felded slowly, and Bradley and
Bur&ett scored. In the second aaIf Of
the inning the Navy made enough
runs TO win the game. Gill was hit
by Carr aud Symington was safe on
Morrissey's s error. Goldthwaite forced
Symingfon and Gill scored on Theo-
bold's safe hit. Thibault drew base
on balls and Stiles cleared the bags
with rattling two base hit. Cohen
got base on balls and Stiles and
Cohen scored on Bacon base on err
r0rs. keedham and Gill struck out.
The navy scored eight runs in the
fifth inning and one each in the sec
ond, third and sixth. I'm the fifth safe
hits were made by TheoboId, Cohen
and Vau Auken, but the bulk of the
runs were made on errors and mis-.
handling Of grounders and thrown
balls. Three men were given bases
on balls by Walsh. Senior dropped
two flies and Walsh let a grounier
get away from him. All this netted
eight runs for the navy. Van Auken
went completely in the al in the
sixth inning, the only one which he
pitched After striking out two of
the Wa hingtonians he gave Senior
base on balls, he tit Walsh and gave
base TO Price, Burkett and Weber
in succ assion. This enabled Senior
and Walsh to score.
During the game the navy used
three pitchers-Needham, Lamphier
and Van Auken-and the visitors two
Carr and Walsh. Both teams show
cd a decided lack of team work, the
navy having the advantage, however,
of having had several weeks of work
in part of the armory which has
been fitted as a cage DIR. White, Of
the Chicago American League team,
the navy coach this season, is very
we'll satisfied with the showing of his
players so far this season.

TO HAVE CONSTITUTION

Pekin. Sept. 4.--The emperor has
issued an edict promising constitu.
tional government when the people
are fitted for IL. The edict says:
''Since the beginning OF our dyn-
asty there have been wise emporors
who have made laws suited to the
times. Now that China has inter
course with all nations, our Law and
political system has become anti
quated and cur country Is always in
trouble. Therefore, it Is necessary
for US to gather more knowledge and
draw up a new code Of laws, other
wise we shall be unworthy Of the
trust Of our forefathers and the PEG.
Pile
The edict cites the fact that travel
ing commissioners report that the
cause Of China's weakness Is antago-
nism between the rulers and the rul-
ed, and promises administrative and
financial reforms. When these are
accomplished and the people are edu-
Gated to understand their relations to
the government a constitution will
be framed. The time for putting this
into effect. the edict says. will de-
pend upon the rapidity Of the ma
tioB's progress towards enlighten-
ment
