The Giants and the Yankees travelled over a
rough and rocky road. which led to one defeat
after another. last week and the fans were quite
ready to throw up their hands in disappointment
II not disgust. Both teams played in such
loose and listless way that excuses can be
offered for the loss OF game after game, until
break came in their favor Saturday. The
fear now is that decentralization Will follow, and
If this proves the case II Will necessitate long
uphill climb for either to work up to the top
Tung Of the ladder. A week ago the fans were
almost counting on hoisting two pennants in
this city, but now the outlook is rather black
although both teams made UP of the same
men, and men who know the game and are quite
capable Of playing championship ball. The fans
will cheer up when the present slump is over
and hope will spring afresh when the teams set
tie down 10 winning more games The end of
the fight is long way off. and the time has
Tot come TO give up particularly as the race is
SO close.

WON'T Be FAVORED
Commissioners Will Not
Recommend Exile of
John Barleycorn.

Absolute prohibition in the District,
it is understood. will not be recon-
mended by the Commissioners. Their
report TO Congress on the various pro-
hibition bills now under consideration
has been the subject OF several confer
ences between the Commissioners, but
definite recommendations have not as
yet been decided upon. Commissioner
mcfarland has suggested that the law
prohibiting .he establishment OF a sa-
loon within a radius OF 200 feet OF a
church DO amended so as to increase
the limit to 1000 feet In accordance
with this suggestion officials of the Po-
lice Department have made a canvass
Of the various precincts and have re-
ported that 20 enact such legislation
would abolish 42S Of the 517 saloons now
in existence. This was merely a tenta-
tive suggestion by Mr.. mcfarland and
was not made officially.
Mr. Mcfarland has suggested also
that the retail liquor license be increased
from $500 20 $1.6oO a year. but neither
has this been decided upon BY the board.
II is expected that the Commissioners
viii forward their report on the pro-
hlbitiOn bills 20 Congress within the
next week.
