VICTORY FOR NEWS CATERERS
Defeat Evening Star Business Boys
bv Score of 8 to s.

The editorial department of The Even
ing Star distinguished itself yesterday
afternoon at American League Park. when
the base ball team representing the news
columns met the team from The Evening
Star business Office and demolished the
latter's aspirations to the tune of runs
to ). The editorial team had an easy
| time doing it and could have made more
runs had not Capt. Cuts" Smith begged
his men not to rub it in too hard.
Except for slightly wild throw to
first by Buckingham. the editorial team
played an errorless game. What might
have happened had the business Office
team been able to knock the ball to any
body but Artist ''konor" O'Connor would
be hard to say. The helders of the edi-
torial team had to be walked up after each
his drawing board with him and made
two seven column layouts while waiting
for fly.
In the first inning "Larruper" Linthi-
that set the grand stand wild. and later
on made the circuit of the diamond for
the first run. Capt. Cuts" Smith added
another tally later on In the same inning.
When the business ONCE team went to
bat 'Limpy" Walker managed to clout
the ball into the field for two bases. but
after that "Bucking'' Buckingham. the
fearless pitcher from the news room held
them all at bay The business office
team. however. made the two star plays
of the day. These were Stylish Her
ron's unassisted double play and Tom
my" fuckers wild triple somersault In
deep right field. Capt. Cuts Smith
caught an outshoot on the nose and boost
ed 1t out toward the fence. Tommy start
ed running backward with a wild effort.
but tripped on one of his of feet and
rolled over and over. the ball landing
about SEQ yards away from him. Smith
walked home
Other star performers on the business
team were ''Tubby' Hanford. who caught
for the last five innings. and "Squints"
Collins. who got in at center field some
time during the last half of the game and
divided his time between yelling at the
opposing batters and shivering with the
fear that somebody would knock him a
ball.
Newly Wed" Newbold. first baseman
for the business team. was the most styl-
| ish player on the field. He had a real
base ball suit and played roughly-just
like a profes sional 1t was very hard to
fool him. At short, for the editorial
team. "Pearline' Miller was a terror for
the other side. He covered the entire in
field. gave directions to the outfield kid
ded the bleachers and dictated the details
of the game to Harry Fry who was hid
| den In the telegraph stand.

tenn. Views Of leading race-track men
Of various kinds are here given:
James b. Haggin the noted turfman-
Il think the bill will kill horse racing in
New York state. and | am surprised at
Its passage. I don't see how purses can
now be paid.
II am sure now that betting will be
stopped that people will remain away
from the tracks. Those who I'LL up the
stands and who pay for seats will not
their money back. 1 think the bill is a
disastrous blow AT racing"
James r. Keene-"Anything I might
say will not change what has taken
intended to do the public knows. I do
not wager on races myself. therefore
am not interested in any betting clause.
The action of the state lawmakers
no doubt will stop some OF the breeding
of race horses. I don't know what the
racing associations are going to do. and
| am not advising suggesting what
they should do. in the papers.

Phil j. Dwyer. steward Of the jockey

This is the worst blow struck at le-

of putting a man who is totally unsuited

WHAT THE ST. LOUIS PRESS
SAYS OF THE NATIONALS

Faithful old war horse is Sen. Warner.
No. not Bill of X. C.-Jack of the Wash
ngtons. Ball in the tummy nearly put
Jack out yesterday. He did have to quit
few minutes later.
So lively a grass treader is Bob Ganley
that it'll be a long time before We can
class him among the dead Gam Lees OF
good old Bad JACK Williams days.
After Clymer had captured Williams fly
in the fourth and Hartzell had grounded
to Delehanty c. Jones startled his former
mates by doubling along the third base
line. Shipke saw 1t go by like bullet.
but got even minute afterward by rob
bling Tee Jones Of hit on pretty
stop.
Shipke was taken out of the game by
Cantillon after the first inning. when
Howell relieved Graham. He is right
handed hitter and a weak one at that. so
he plays in the game only against left
handed pitchers. AS fielder ne Is as fast
as they make them.
Since Clymer has returned to the game
the Washington Outfield is one of the
strong ones of the country. In Ganley.
Clymer and Pickering Washington has
three splendid hitters and base runners.
and Milan is worthy substitute for any
of them.
One of the best throwing arms in the
business today belongs to Mcbride. the
hustling shortstop of the Washington
team He has many friends here in spite
of his rather bad form while with the
Cardinals If Mcbride could hit with any
degree of certainty he would be the most
valuable shortstop in the league.
Bob Ganley lined the ball to the feet of
the Post,Dispatch weather bird in the sew
enth inning and will receive check for
$40 as a reward. That was two days in
succession that the little bird was struck
with batted ball. Williams getting a
three-base drive against 1t Monday. Gan
ley Is the third one this season to get the
$40 prize. George Stovall of Cleveland
was the first.
Once more the Browns came from be-
hind like sure-enough great team and
pocketed game that looked like a sure
goner. Washington made the McAleertes
hustle. Joe Cantillon has come in for a
lot OF uncomplmentary notices for giving
Washington nothing else but a pair Of
tailenders. Just the same. his present
entry, though at the bottom, is the COM
plete superior of the customary outfit
that hailed from the nations capital

NEW YORK. June 12.-Breeders. own

yesterday that the passage Of the anti
