BROOKLAND AGAIN
LOSES TO WINCHESTER

Brookland again demonstrated yester-
day afternoon how thoroughly 1t was out
classed by the Winchester team. The
latter boys won out by 10 to o. not a
Brookland player reaching third base.
The fault was not Linthicums. however.
Up to the eighth inning he pitched ball
that would have won nine times out OF
ten. In the face of poor work behind
him it Is surprising that he held out as
long Is he did. "Cy" Mcdonald famed
three times, and the other long-distance
htters had their troubles connecting with
the ball. Johnson was a mystery to
Brookland throughout the game. Up to
the eighth inning the latter team had
chances TO tie the score with a hit, but
1t was not forthcoming. The score:

II is not very easy to make out
from the telegram published today
from Teheran the precise nature ot
the crisis which has arisen between
the Shah, his parliament and the
popular societies or Aujumans, but
it SENS clear that the situation Is eX-
ceedingly serious. A quarrel has
broken out between the Shah AMI
the parliament owing 10 the arbitrary
and unexplained arrest Of the premier
and two other members Of the cabi-
net. and the people, aroused by the
powerful Aujumans, are demonstrate
ing in great numbers against both
on account of the murder Of two
Teheran shopkeepers by soldiers OF
the shah's bodyguard, who have ap-
parently been allowed 10 go unpun-
lshed. II the origin Of the trouble Is
obscure, the kilograms are explicit
enough in regard 10 the surface facts
of the existing situation. Unruly
mobs are parading Teheran with
firearms: the parliament has refused
TO adjourn nntil II receives from the
Shah an explanation OF the arrest
OF ministers, while the Shah himself
has ordered ball cartridges to be
served out TO dle troops, and has
summoned TO his councils two motor
iously reactlonary notables. Every
thing seems to point to an approach
ing coup d'etat on the part OF the
Shah. who Il Is known has lately be-
come very dissatisfied with the un-
fruitful operation OF the new constl-
tuition. and not a little alarmed by
the growth Of sedltlous movement
against himself which certain provl-
slons Of the constitution have great
~ facilitated. There is, perhaps,
much % be said for the Shah's point
of view. for the Persian parliament
has undoubtedly proved dlap-
pointment. on the other hand. e
