THEY FAILED TO HIT MUDD
GALLAUDET'S BATSMEN COULD
NOT TOUCH ST. JOHNS PITCHER.
Local Boys Overwhelmingly Defeated
at Kendall dreen-Errors
Helped Considerably.

The speed Of Griffin Mudd. the sterling
pitcher Of st. Johns College OF Annapolis,
was too much for the base bali braves Of
Gallaudet College yesterday afternoon at
Kendall Green, and as a result the local
boys were trounced to the tune of IL to /.

they were so scattered throughout the nine
innings of play that they awaited little in

the opposing batsmen. Cooper, the Gall

local man who could hit Mudds delivery,

Blue could have done as well as he did the
result might have been different.

four hits to his credit, one of them being a

In the first inning st. Johns landed upon
Dillon's delivery and batted in five runs

Dillon took his place. He held st. Johns

The government printing office aggrega-

umn yesterday afternoon on the grounds
at LIST and M streets by defeating the CO.
lumbia Athletic Club team, last seasons
pennant winners, in a seven-inning con-
test. the score being Z to 4.
The result OF the game came as a surprise
to the many followers of the league, as 1t
was the general opinion that the printers
would be outclassed in every department of
the game, but the score shows that they
must have been in good form. The Column
bia boys did not put up the steady game
which won for them the pennant last year.
making four errors. The winners also put
up a, very poor exhibition in the field, but
their misplays did not prove as costly as
those made by Columbia.
Opportune batting helped the printers to
most of their runs. Both teams clouted the
ball for the same number of safeties, but
Columbia failed to connect safely when runs
meant hits. Several times 1t had two
and three men on bases and Ill that was
needed was a little single, but Gordon. who
was doing the pitching for the winners,
either made them go out on strikes or pop
one up in the air for an easy out

have walkover, as they made three Of

A hit for three sacks, an error and a

score on a two base hit and an error They
assumed the lead in the sixth on two dou-

gave them a total Of seven runs.
The fielding honors were carried off by

looked good for safeties.

as the boys of the Manual Training School
were out of doors as soon as the snow was
off the ground. Reichard, who has been
doing the pitching, is practically the best
twirler in the high schools. He is left
handler. and has excellent control and
good head. To back up the work of its
twirler this team has two of the best play
ers In the District with them They are
Mess. who played a star game in the Dis
trict championship series last year. and
Goodman. who is the best first sacker in
the league, both having played fine ball
last year. Mess is not only a good fielder
and batter, but fine base runner. On sew
eral occasions he has stretched a single in
to a double and has stolen great many
bases. Spencer, Chaplin and Benson are
three others on the team who are playing
good ball.
The Western team is composed Of many
small boys. but Coach Spr:ngman has
rounded out good team. and when 1t
meets Technical there will be hard
fought contest as Michel, the big blond
twirler. Is one of the best pitchers of the
league, and his teammates can hit the
ball. Radford. who does the receiving, Is
considered the best catcher in the league.
There are several of last years men on the
team, among them Kemp, Howard. Fort.
Morse and PolhemQs, all of whom are
playing good ball. Little Howard at the
short field is rounding into one of the best
in1elders in the league.
Central, who in the past few years had
practically everything it's own way in base
ball. has not put good teams on the field
in the last two years. The team this year
is composed of only one veteran, Cy Mac
Donald. who is one of the best players who
ever wore a Blue and White uniform. His
batting has been the feature of many of
the contests in which his team has engaged,
but this year he has not struck his stride.
The team is particularly weak in the pitch
ing staff. as Rheem, who Is the best, has
practically nothing. and has to rely a. great
deal OH his teammates to pull of VIC

The crews got; of to good start, the
Techs rowing 30 and the Potolnacs 20. The
older crew kept up this stroke almost to
the finish. They had not gone very far
when the Potomac boat pulled up a little
to the front. They were about even at the
half mile and then the Technical boys hit
1t up to 30. The veterans responded and
led at the three-quarters by about a length.
The last quarter was a hard squirt. The
Potomac eight were full length to the

the youngsters put all that was In them

most on the line by not more-than a quar-
ter Of length. 1t Is reported that the
coxswain breathed extra hard on the last
few strokes and lifted the boat over the
finish Anyhow, everybody was perspira-

1t was a good race. Time, 5.22.
Before this race was one between Tom
German and c. Dunbar Davis. 1t was also
over the mile course German led slightly
from the start and finished a winner by
about an open length. No time taken.
The last event of the afternoon was a
canoe race, double paddles of quarter of

canoe and McKenny and Thrall In the
dred yards of home. both canoes holding
about level Then superior workmanship
won out. De Care and Howell steered the
straighter course and their opponents, rock
and passed astern. They righted and after
losing a length and a half pnlled up about
a length and a half to the bad.
There was a dance after the races and
the boathouse was filled. 1t was an ideal
evening for the sport and the events were
voted great success.

PARROTS GAVE WARNING.
Conductor Relates Incident of Recent
Earthquake in Mexico.

L. & Crutcher, a conductor on tho
Mexican Central, was in Pachuca on
Sunday night. Upon his return to the
capital yesterday he gave an interesting
account of his experiences at POrter's. He
said that three distinct shocks were felt
at Pachuca- He was in bed at the time
the first one was felt but not asleep.
He was staying at a house next door
10 that Of a Mexican. This Mexican had
a number of parrots. Mr.. Crutcher said
that almost half an hour before the first
shock was felt the parrots began to hold
out signals Of distress. They had never
before been known to cry out at night,
but on Sunday night a few minutes be-
fore II o'clock they began to make the
night hideous with their cries and tabber.
They kept him awake until the first
shock came. Then the parrots broke out
with fresh and more vigorous protests
They talked Spanish and English and
attempted French and Italian in their
effort to get out OF their cages, but it
wasn't any use.
Mr.. Crutcher said that it was a we'll
known fact that at the time St. Pierre
was destroyed by the eruption Of Mont
Pelee all the fowl and wild animals and
even the horses and COWS and dogs and
conditions and made off to points Of
safety before the eruption occurred. Only
man, the most intelligent of creatures,
failed to heed the warnings. Mr.. Crutcher
added that in his judgment the parrots
Gagged on the porch of that Mexican
household in Pachuca knew more about
the coming earthquake than did all the
men and women asleep or awake in the
city Of Pachuca. A triumph, he added, of
instinct over reason

COUNCIL PROVIDES MONEY
Funds for Making Start on Indepen-
dent Light Plant Are
Appropriated.

Councilman Samuel Thomas introduced
resolution drawn up by the city attor-
ney, providing that the city council ere
ate special light and power fund The
proposition set forth by the resolution is
TO transfer 5000 from the general to the
special fund, which is to be used for the
preliminary purchases in connection with
establishing an electric light plant for
Ogden. The intention is to return this
money to the general fund after a vote
of the people has been taken on the ques-
ton. The resolution was adopted after
the city attorney announced that spe-
cial fund for such large undertaking
would entail too great an expenditure TO
be put through without a vote of the peO-
pie. Following the adoption of the reso-
luton the city attorney submitted a bond
and deeds to the property in Willard can
yOn, which was approved.
A lengthy discussion followed the read
ing of letter from the improvement
league, calling the councils attention to
the filthy condition of cutters and asking
that the defects in the paved streets be
repaired. The present system of street
cleaning came in for general discussion.
It was pronounced entirely unsatisfactory
owing to there not being sufficient fall
TO the streets to clear the Aefuse from the
cutters. 1t was decided to purchase two
cylindrical dump wagons and to employ a
sufficient number of men TO experiment
for one month at cleaning Twenty-fifth
street, from Washington to Wall avenue.
The present street washers will be con-
tnued in use. 1t was also decided to re-
pair all Of the street intersections IN the
same district.
