TALES.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Louis BrOckett,
once of Buffalo, had a chance to show
what he could do on the firing line for
eight innings on the hilltop yesterday
and displayed none of the uncertainty
that marked his covering Of right field
on the previous afternoon.
The former Bison was picked by Man
ager Griffith for the task Of making it
two out of three from the Washington
fans, and he well Justified his managers
confidence by retiring the CanulOn COM
binatiOn for hve nOn-pTOductive hits, the
Highlanders winning by q score of 4 to 0.
Keefe finished the job for Brvckett and
got away with the ninth round by adding
another zero to the score board stalls
tics, though he was hit once and made
q wild pitch.
Brockett had to extend himself to keep
the invading tossers from putting TALES
over the rubber, especially in the fourth.
In this round the cushions were filled,
with none out, on the singles of Cross
md Altizer and a gift to Anderson.
With Hickman up, the spectators saw at
least two tallies for the Nationals, but
the runs never arrived Hick hOisted
a fly 70 Moriarity, and Perrins sent the
relief second baseman a looping fly On
which he doubled Altizer at hrst.
Twelve Of the visitors saw first during
the afternoon and ten were left on the

OF the invaders in "a double play, and
KleiuOw tagged another on the front

with doubles and moved up TO third on

REED SHOOT STRONGLY
 DEFENDED IN SENATE
FIRST SPEECH IN HIS SUPPORT DELIVERED BY NIB.
 HOPKINS.

Illinois Senator Takes Position That Senators Are Not Federal Officers to the Extent That Senate Can Pass
 Upon. Their Qualifications and Elist-
 bility, or Impeach Them for Crime
 Smoot Never Polygamist--A Man
 Above Reproach.
 Washington, Jan. 1.-The first speech in defense of the right of Reed Shoot to a seat in the United States senate was delivered to-day by Senator Hopkins of Illinois. MT. Hopkins took the position that senators were not federal officers to the extent that the senate could pass upon their oualiil- cations and eligibility or could in- peach them for high crimes or nisde- meanors If sepator was to be pun ished it must be done by the state or federal courts. Only federal officers, he maintained, were impeachable, ana this impeachment must be for acts committed as federal officers
 The precedent cited was the unsuc- cessful effort to impeace Senator Blount, charged with reasonable cor respondence with a foreign nation, more than one hundred years ago. The conclusion then, MT. Hopkins said, had never been reversed and that was that the senate had no right to try the case as Senator Blount was not an of fees of the United States.
 
 After citing other cases, MT. Hop kins remarked that it was unnecessary for him to multiply evidence to dem onstrate his point that individual states have no power to add any qual- iecation to a senator other than those prescribed by the federal constitution Referring directly to MT. Smoot ne said: Tt is conceded by the chairman of the committee on privileges and elections that Senator Shoot possesses all of the qualifications spoken or 1T the constitution itself It Is also con ceded, not only by the chairman or the committee. but think by all who arc at all familiar with the case that Sen ator Shoot is not polygamist tna [ he has never married a plural wire l and has never practiced polygamy that he is a man, in his personal rela ; tions. as son, husband, father and cit izen, above reproach; that in all of tn relations of citizenship he has lived sineuIarly pure and upright life" l He then asked: Why then, shoul' g he be expelled from this body, dis 3 graced and dishonored for life. a stig e ma placed upon his children, his owl : life wrecked and the happiness of hi : wife destroyed?

ments to Consultation.

New York, Jan. 11.-The next inter- collegiate meet will be held at Cam bridge if the recommendation of the executive committee Is adopted by the Intercollegiate Athletic association at the annual meeting to be held In this city February 2S.
 The executive committee met at the Fifth Avenue hotel tonight, when there was lively contest for the meet between Pennsylvania and Harvard. President H. R. Geyelin, of Pennsylva- mia, seconded by F. c. Chapman, of Cornell, urged the choice of Franklin field, but the opposition was too strong and in the end 1t was unanimously de- cided to recommend that Cambridge be selected. The Yale Harvard dual meet will take place in New Haven this year, and that had a good deal to do with giving the Intercollegiate to Harvard. Pennsylvania was promised the meet next year.
 Two important amendments to the constitution were decided upon. It will be recommended that article II De dIllCllQCA lO ANods
 "The annual field meeting shall be held on the afternoon of the first Sat urday after the last Friday in May In each year.
 This is changed from "the last Sat urday in May" It is believed that this amendment will avoid, in most colleges conflict with examinations, which has been a source of complaint,
 After much discussion it was decided to recommend the adoption of the "one- year. rule, changing subdivisions foui and five of article IT so as to read:
 NO one shall represent any college or university at an annual field meet until he shall have resided one calendar year at the college or university ht represents, and has attained, in the an nual examinations on work during tha' wear. a satisfactory standard of schol arship."
 While this rule has been in force fo some time past at Harvard, Princeton Yale, Pennsylvania and Cornell, it will it was declared by opponents to tn amendment, be flaw to small college belonging to the association, and tn latter are expected to fight the propos ed change in the coming convention The executive committee, however, fel
