The recent uprising of the Pulajanes'
which Major General Wood is attempt
ing TO put down with the Twenty-fOurth
Infantry. composed of colored fighters
who have been tried before and proved
their quality. has caused considerable
comment at the War Department If II
isn't one tribe of natives giving the
army trouble in the Philippines it's an
other. and il is suggested that the Pula-
James have begun their activity rather
soon after the great and disastrous blow
that was struck the Moros on the Island

A Place for Clean Sport.

The baseball games played on the
White Lot by the Departmental
League have aroused an interest
which is not confined to Washing
ton. Visitors 10 the Capital have
carried home pleasant recollee-
ton of some exciting contest which
they have viewed there. One can
hear of the excellent sport afforded
by the Departmental League many
miles from the diamonds on the
White Lot.
Best of all is the impression
which these games make on sport
loving Americans, Here we have
clever young athletes participating
IN the national game for the sheer
love of it, They are not paid. They
play because of the fun of it-be-
cause they love the game. There
Is no admission fee charged-no col
lotion taken up-so the spirit Of
eommercialism does not enter into
the contests in any form In these
games we have the rarity-sport for
sports sake.
Such being the ideal characters
tic Of the Eames, let the sport be
kept clean. Nothing should be per
mitted which is at variance with
the spirit of true sport. Recently
such a thing did occur. and il can
not be too strongly condemned.
The game was that between the
teams representing the Department
of War and the Postofice Depart
ment. War was at the bat in the
third inning. 4 hit, a base on balls,
and an error of the first baseman
filed the bases, with no one out.
The next batter hunted along the
first base line He was a fast run
ner, and was we'll toward first base
before the pitcher got near the ball.
The runner from third was certain
20 score. That he could not get
the man at first Yves apparent to
the pitcher, who, when he reached
the ball, seooped it with his hand
into foul territory. He then claim
