Inning Game and Gain Top
PIace-SoIdiers Play
Well

In one of the best academic games of
the season Harvard school yesterday
defeated the crack Santa Monica team
on the latter's diamond by the score of
6 to 4. The Harvard boys won in the
eleventh inning of the contest, when
two of the soldier boys crossed the
plate and brought in the winning runs.
The game was attended by large

city to see the departure of the fleet.
Many fast and clever plays marked the
game from the first to the eleventh in

would give up first. Stoll twirled high
class ball throughout and had the OPP
posing batters guessing all the way.
Five scattered hits was the total num-
ber he allowed to the seaside boys,
while the cadets secured nine safe ones,
two of which were converted INTO runs
in the victorious eleventh.
In addition to Stoll, Newman behlnd
the bat and Dodson at first performed
creditably. Dodson also welded the
willow with good effect, getting two
hits from three times at bat.
Dehle pitched an excellent game for
the seaside boys, striking out thirteen
of the Harvard batters.
This victory places Harvard at the
top In the Los Angeles County league

PAYNE SERVES NOTICE
SAYS THE MAJORITY INTENDS
TO RUN THE HOUSE.

There were lively doinRs up on Capitol
Hill last night, persistent democratic
filibuster keeping the House in session
until after 10 o'clock. Some time before

of New York, the republican floor leader,
served notice that from that time on the
democrats and carry through the program
of the majority, in spite Of the attempt
Of the minority, under the leadership of
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi. to dictate
the character of legislation to be enacted.
The democrats, after the passage of the
agricultural appropriation bill. had in
terposed obstructive tactics against any
business being done. After several meas
ures had been refused consideration by
reaso of these tactics. Mr.. Payne called
up the resolution to refer to the several
committees the Presidents recent special
message to Congress. Observing that the
democrats were preparing to place OBJ
structions in the way Of its consideration
unless ample time should be given for
general debate. Mr. Jayne asserted that
because of the hypocrisy of those on the
other side"-meaning the democrats-no
general debate would be allowed.
Mr.. Payne denounced the democratic
filibuster begun Monday in pursuance of
the notice given by Mr.. Williams a week
ago. and characterized the action of Mr..
Williams as 'puerie." The democrats.
he commended. were in no position to lay
down a program of action for the repub-
licans. The majority he said, have
charge of the business of the House. and
the business will gO~thrOugh just as the
majority decides it shall go through
Shouts of republican approval greeted
this utterance.
The fiibuster resulted in more than
dozen roll calls. Representative William
Bill Suizer of New York. proprietor and
general manager of the only genuine
living one-man filibuster. characterized
the proceedings as childish while Rep
