Sunday from Keysville. Va. The young
homers were released by the official
hberator, D. s. Gauding, who wired
Ihat the birds were off at S. wind north
east
The birds were handicapped by fog, at
times so dense that objects a hundred
yards distant were hardly visible. and
faced the wind for the whole distance

lions made the race one of the hardest
OF the series. IS per cent OF the flyers
were home within the time Emit.

between the time Of their arrival

Davis was put out yesterday IN the
fourth inning.
Charley Street Is coming along some
as wonder at reaching first. In the
six games with the Athletics he made
I'VE hits and drew six bases on balls.
That Is not half bad for a man whose
record In the Pacific Coast League
caused fears that no matter how good
a catcher he might be he would prob
ably be too light 4 sticker to become
a regular in this league.
There was an unusual succession Of
plays in the sixth inning yesterday
Nichols opened with a single. Oldring
forced him, Barry forced Oldring, and
Coombs forced Barry

three days in each. after which the club

Witherup's joining the Washington
club in the West viii be important as
giving line on him for next season,
and VIII also relieve some Of the reg
ulars. There is no doubt but what
Tom Hughes has done about all the
pitching he should do this year. Next
season Washington looks like a first
division team all over and Hughes will
be needed then Johnson is already
overworked. even II he does not know

Smiths arm is still troubling him, and
Kelley is not in the best Of physical

For some reason the working of Dele
hanty, Mcbride, and Street on the
double steal by the opposition Of second
and home has not been so good of late.
There has been an air Of indecisiOn

Just when he was getting the har-
pO0n for not sticking. Pickering awOke
and slammed a double 90 center in the
ninth inning. It was a valued cOntribu-
ton, because Il drove in Street and
Johnson, with the last two runs, but
Pickering has been falling down with
some regularity in pinChes in close
games, AMI must wake up.

Mack gave another trial 10 his young
pitcher Schiller. Three earned runs
were garnered OF him. and he had no
kick coming. even II the principal OBJ
feet lesson Of the game was that Lapp
is a long ways yet from chasing Doc
Powers or Ossie Schreck out OF the
major leagues as catchers-

DIVORCE AND PoLYeAMY

Cardinal Logue, primate of Ire
land, who is now in America, deplores
the tendency in America to more d.
vorces. The cardinal declares that OF
the two evils if he were called to
choose the less he would prefer Nor
mon polygamy, where several wives
IRE taken at once, to progressive
polygamy, as practiced by divorced
people who remarry In the former
ease, he says, the wives and children
are provided for and in the later the
wives are often sent adrift and ex-
posed to every danger, whereas, the
children, if there are any, are deprived
Of the protection and the care which
the natural law itself dictates that
they should receive at the hands OF
their parents.
Cardinal Logue does not believe
that the divorce evil has flourished to
the extent in America that it has in
France, but he believes it has reached
the stage in America where measures
10 check the practice are imperative.
