DEFECTS IN OUR SHIPS
Senate Naval Committee Hears
 of Serious Faults In Vessels.
ARMOR BELTS ARE TOO LOW
Captain Winslow Declares That Proper Supplies of Stores Would Depress Protective Sheath Unduly - British Gunnery Better Than Ours.

Washington, March 11.-That there are serious defects in the construction of American battleships was charged by Captain Cameron McRea Winslow, assistant chief of the bureau of navi- gation of the navy department, and Commander A. l.. Key, former naval aid to President Roosevelt, before the senate committee which is investigat. ing the navy.
 The former officer said the ships un- der Admiral Evans were all overdraft when they left Hampton Roads. Com mander Key criticised the armor belt and the gun decks as being too low and the ammunition hoists unsafe. He attempted to dispute the testimony of other officers, especially Chief Con- structor Capps, but was not permitted to do so.
 Captain Winslow. defending Admiral Rojestvensky, used the fate of the Russian fleet as an illustration of the danger of going into action with the armor belt too far under water. At the same time he said that the ships should carry at least two-thirds their capacity of coal and full ammunition and stores. '...'.
 Armor Belts Too Low.
 He said that two-thirds supply of all stores would make all American bat. tleships too low, and therefore the ar nor belt should be raised. He could not state the exact amount, as he said 1t would vary on the different ships.
 There was no need, said Captain Winslow, for more than four feet of armor below the water line
 The witness was asked to compare certain types of American ships with the contemporary class of British ships. He took the Connecticut and the Lord Nelson and in gunnery said the British ship has made better rec ords for rapid shooting with her bat tery of 92 inch guns than had been made with the Connecticut's eight inch guns. He thought this achieve. ment was due probably to the hoists. He added that the Michigan and the South Carolina were great improve ment over the Lord Nelson and pos sibly superior to anything in the Brit ish navy"

THE, DIAMOND
THE FIGHT IS
 AT. AN END
Chicago is Once More ths Worlds Champion by Winning From
 Detroit Ysstsrday.

Detroit, Oct. 15.--The Chicago Nationals are again supreme In baseball. They won the fifth game of the worlds series with the De- troits, the American league cham pions yesterday, and their playing m the series just finished left no doubs of their superiority over the pennant winners of the rival league, just as their campaign In the National league race for the championship left no doubt of their being the strongest and best rounded out or ganization in that league. In every thing that goes to constitute a cham pionship team they surpassed the Tigers--pitching, batting, base run ming, preparedness head work, iil- telligent cooperation and the facul- ty of rising to emergencies.
 It was the second year in success sion in which the Cubs have measur- ed strength with the Tigers, and though they did not do quite. as well against the latter as in 1907, they nevertheless were the masters quite as decisively for all practical pur- poses. Last year the Detruits lost four games in succession after tying the first one. This year the same number of contests was necessary to decide the series-fve. The De-
 troits won one game of this five, the Cubs taking the first, second, fourth and fifth.
 The game of yesterday was won and lost by a. small score, but what
 scoring there was was confined to the ever hustling Cubs. They fol lowed Tuesdays whitewash of the Detroits with another one yesterday. The score was 2 to O. the Chicago tallies coming singly, one in the first | inning, the other {. in the fifth. Big | Jeff Overall ornamented on the mound for the Chicagos and was a much abler craftsman in the dispen- sation of speed and slants than Bill | Donovan of the home team. The | Cubs got to Donovan for enough timely hits to foreclose the mort | gage on the deciding game and championship, while Overall was a
 mountain in the pathway of the De. | troits. He. struck out ten men, one
 of the strikeouts which went to his l credit being wild pitch. Rossman
 swung at the ball purposely in the
 hope of reaching first and did reach | 1t.
 In this game the players had nc l share,,,in the gate money. The I gross, amount, taken in at the advanc l ed prices of admission was $9,577.5t
 of which the National Commission gets $957.75 and the clubs each re
 ceive $4,30997. The Chicago play I CTS share of the first four games wal 4 $27, ,669.11, while the Detroit play 1 CTS shared SIS, ,446.08 Each of tn,

CRIPPLED LAD AN ATHLETE
New Bedford High school Boy Ranks
 High in Gymnastics.

Crippled, as to his legs, and forced to uset crutches in order to move about, Albert w. Goodwin, a member of the senior. class at the High school. has the distinction of being an athlete of such superior qualities that he has not only won prizes in gymnastic exhibitions but has proved that he is almost the equal of any boy in the participation of such sports as appeal to the youthful, element.
 When Goodwin who is now IS years of age, was a child of four years, he became afflicted with an at tack of rheumatism which distorted one of his legs with permanency which supposedly rendered him al most helpless cripple for life. It might be said that instead of learn ing to walk in the natural way he fairly started out in life with crutch- es. Having soon acquired the use of these supports, young Goodwin entered into the fun of his playmates with as much spirit and almost as much adaptability as his more for tunate comrades.
 ''It was with good constitution in spite of a shriveled limb, that he became a member of the Y. NJ c. A. gym and as Is already apparent he was we'll qualified to profit by the instruction which Is given there. 'So rapidly did Goodwin advance in ath- letics that 1t was not long before he became to be looked upon as one of the foremost members of the gymna- sium in point of prowess. There is scarcely anything in the line of or dinary gymnastics which be cannot perform and as he has specialized in some things he succeeded, in re- cent contest at the Y. M c. A.. in winning the high vault event, clear ing the bar at height of six feet two inches. His record in this line was. subsequently, established. in an exhibition performance. at six feet, three inches.
 Another event which was won by Goodwin was the swinging dip on the parallel bars and he has record of accomplishing the feat 40 times
 Having established himself as an athlete Goodwin. among other things runs, plays indoor and outdoor base ball. basketball. football and lawn tennis. Is an ardent bowler and Is g very skilful swimmer.

ANOTHER ATHLETIC CRIPPLE.

Handicapped by the loss of his right arm, yet able to field an aver- age of .9S5 and bat .3S0 is the re- markable performance of George Ely, an amateur baseball player of Los Angeles.
 Ely Is lightning fielder, and plays his position, second base, as we'll as one with both arms. For the last sev- erl years he has been in baseball. He travelled with the Sioux Indian team during it's tour through Washington. and although he went against many classy players he has yet to find one who can beat him. In addition to be- ing a crack second baseman, Ely can also pitch.
 Ely thinks that one armed man, while handicapped to a certain de- gree. should be as good player as one with both arms. He says that a man. loses time transferring the ball from his right to his left hand, which he would do if he caught and threw the ball with the same hand.-Dis- patch to Boston Herald.
