Bill Burns was so fretted by his fail
ure to win the first game that he asked
CantiIion 10 let him have another
chance in the second. 1t was hard
problem for such a fierce day. but
Burns is one Of the most powerful men
in baseball. and there was no good
reason why he should not be able to
stand another test as well as NICK
Altrock. who stuck it out for thirteen
innings and did his best work IN the
last six Burns was touched freely IN
the first four rounds, but six hits pro-
duced only one run. These figures are
deceptive because anybody else but
Altrock would have scored from second
on Jones hit IN the second inning
Therefore IL boils down that Burns
did not do nearly so well as he had
expected. but he was a refreshing
spectacle on the mound because when
men were on bases he did not collapse
and begin to pitch as if the other feI-
lows were already carrying off the
bacon. on the contrary the closer the
conflict the tighter Burns became, ana
his hardy frame and bullying muscles
were in every shoot he sent over the
Mate That's the way we Ike to see

Washington lost the opening game
yesterday Of the double-header here to
the White Sox by to in nine innings
through the fortunes of war. 1t lost
the second in thirteen innings by to
4 through the exercise Of very poor
judgment on the part Of Manager Can
tillon.
The poor judgment was displayed IN
the matter Of keeping Falkenberg IN
the box in tie ninth inning OF the
second game. after DOuSherty had
singled. Right there Falkenberg gave
as plain indications as were ever seen
on a bah field that he was all in, aud
that If the opposing side failed TO score
it would be a matter CT pure good luck
and Washington has been shy on luck
for the past ten years.
The Chicago players tumbled imme-
Jiately TO the fact that Falkenberg
was a goner, and jibed at him mer-
cilessly. The verbal thrusts penetrated
deeply, adding to his already existing
confusion. Taking pitchers out in M
middle Of an inning. especially the last
inning is not ordinarily a shrewd move
hut there was not a pitcher on the
washington bench who could not nave

 The present election is solely for tho municipal and provincial officials, but it is especially important because it will test the complex electoral ma ehinery and put to the proof the abil- fly of the Cuhans to hold a fair, square and absolutely orderly election and abide Loyalty by the results. That his will be the case there is every rea- son to hope.
 In every one of the eighty-two mu- inequalities nominations have been been made by the conservatives and by either or both of the rival fac tions of the liberals. led respectively by General Jose Mibuel Gomez and Dr. Alfredo Zayar, except in one or two instances in which Governor Ma goon has given special permission to extend the time for nominations.
 Present indications point to the very general success of the conservatives as the result, in many localities of the irreconcilable feud between the lihera factions of Miguelistas and Kayistas. owing to the Influence of local is- sues, 1t is doubtful whether an analysis of the vote cast will be of much value in attempting to make a forecast ot the presidential election to be held in December.

NEW DIRECTORY OUT.
Good Gain shown Over Last Year
 Population 10000.

The new directory of the city of New Haven tor 1908 has just made its ap- pearance from the press of the Price X Lee company It shows the gratifying fact that the city has again demon- strated It's growing powers and that the past year has resulted in an in crease of 1,471 names over last year This makes the total number of names this year in the book 72,715, of which 3323 are in West Haven and the rest inside the city lines On the regular estimate of two persons for each name that appears fin the directory, which Is considered modest calculation enough. the population of the city Is now about 140,000. This would indicate an increase of 32.00O since the govern ment census of 1900, at which time the figures were officially given out as 10S,- 027 This shows good healthy gain for the city during the past year in ac- ccrdance with the gains that have been the ordering during the past years of the decade.
 The directory this year is in even heater and handler form than that of last year. Ditto marks have been used this year in the alphabetical part of the book and this saves some space. The most noticeable feature Of the new book is the classifying of the advertise ments under proper headings accord ing to the business engaged in.

 Men.
OUT- T-OF- WAY PORT CHOSEI

Picking. July 26--Tho Chinese gov ernment Is completing It's preparations for the entertainment of the officers and crews of tho fleet of American bat- tloshlps at Annoy where tho visiting men-of-war arc due to arrive the latter part of October The original sum or 100000 taels appropriated by China for purposes of welcome and entertainment has been augmented by another l00,0OO taels, This addition has been made nec- essary by the isolation and comparative inacessibllty of Annoy, the Chinese port selected by the Washington gov ernment for the fleet to call at. There are practically no facilities at Annoy for the entertainment of such large body of mon, and China has given no evidence of being dlsplensed that this out of the wny and unsatisfactory spot was selected for the call.
 With regard to the criticism thai China has gauged her welcome so that It would no in sense fall behind tho welcome given by Japan to tho Amer lean battleships. Chinese officials will say nothing; they only disclaim any and all responsibility for choosing America's port of call; tho place where there Is not even proper landing. Tor launches. Stlll the authorities show great pride in what they are undertake ing for the entertainment of the Amer l icanA
 The program includes banquets for

 will be dined at one time. They VII l be given souvenirs of their visit, ant 1 there will be series of sports or | shore and continuous performances IT | tho theaters and pavilions.
