A ROW Of CIPHERS
Titus No Puzzle, and Trinity
Takes Easy Game,
8 to O.

DURHAM, n. c.. April 13.-The George
Washington team IS using its hatchet
TO break nine goose eggs with which it
was presented by Trinity yesterday, in
q shut-out game of 6 TO 0.
Titus, who was sent IN to puzzle
Trinity with his shoots, evidently made
mistake in thinking he had recovered
from the effects Of the injury received
in the Yale game several weeks ago.
In an astoundingly short time his de
livery was pOunced upon for four hits
and as many runs. He was relieved at
the beginning Of the second by Carr. the
Hatchetite captain, going 10 right field.
Carr although wild and extremely lib
eral with his passes, was otherwise a
puzzle, and allowed but two hits in the
remaining eight innings.
George Washington had several
chances to score. but the same lack of
pinch hitters threw them away. The
one bright spot in the Washingtonian
sky was the work of Campbell at sec
oud.
Two of the runs scored by Trinity
were earned. The rest are accounted for
by its opponents error column. The
TWO teams win meet again tomorrow.

Griffith evidently has an excellent
opinion of the ability Of Doc HilIebrand
as a pitcher. When Cantillon asked
waivers on the ex-Prineeton slabman,
Griffith was the only manager in the
American League to refuse to allow the
collegian TO go out Of the Johnson or
ganization.
Says He Won't Waive.
Griffith was this morning asked, at
the Arlington Hotel. where the Yanks
are stopping. whether he had yet
waived on Hillebrand He replied that
he had not and had no intention OF
doing so. Grin still contends that he
has a strong pitching STAFF in Orth,

ton, Keefe and BrOckett, but the fox is
after the bunting for New York this
season and is of the opinion that a man
of the calibFe of Hillebrand would TT in

Thursday.
| According to the reports of the
game Tuesday at Van Vert, Conner
was in wonderful form. Just a few
days ago the fans were stating the
big Dublin recruit in the won't do
class. If Conner can continue to de-
liver the goods like he did at Van
Vert he will be one of the most val
liable members of the team. All he
needs is confidence in himseif-he
has the goods.
Van Vert has released Right Field
er Mccain and First Baseman Nc
Elwain. Both of these players phon-
ed Manager Jessup Tuesday and ask
ed for jobs but they were informed
that their services here were not re-
quired. Imagine replacing Cameron
with McElwain. Mccain is the play
err who about two or three weeks ago,
when Richmond first played at Van
Vert, made home run, nearly caus-
ing himself, the spectators and his
fellow players to cash in with heart
failure. Mccain previous to making
this bing;e could not hit collection
of rain drops with an umbrella.
Decatur persists in hanging on to
Richmond in the league race. The
Admirals are due to drop as Bluffton
will probably take them, while Rich
mond should win hands down from
Van Vert.
Portland has been strengthened by
two good players. Catcher Harden,
late of Hartford City, and Hurst, the
hard hitting Frankfort outfielder. Ko-
komo has a fast bunch which is due
to hit its stride at any time. Manag-
err Jessup figures that he will have
to beat Kokomo and Portland for the
pennant and he picks the former out
fit as the most dangerous.

FULL RETURNS WITHHELD.

Charges made against the Stand
ard Oil company in the appeal of
George E. Clarke, assessor of Wander
burg county. against the assessment of
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
at Evansville have opened the way for
an investigation of returns made by the
Standard to county boards of review
in those counties of the state where the
Standard owns property.
Clarke made the charge that the
Standard did not give all of its proper
ty in its returns to the Vanderburg
county board of review. Robert Gun
ton, manager of the plant at Evans
vile, admitted this before the state
board of tax commissioners yesterday.
The county assessors of the state. ac-
cording to Clarke, have started move
ment whereby a general investigation
is to be made for omitted property be-
longing to the Standard Oil company
as far as ten years back. A thorough
search is to be made, and when it is
found, if such property there be, it
will be placed on the ta<s duplicates
and assessed as omitted property.
