ELKS AND K. OF c.
IN CHARITY GAME
NICK ALTROCK.

Washington Lodge, 10. Is, Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks. has chal-
lenged the knights o. Columbus TO a
game of baseball to be played at Ameri-
can League Park for the benefit Of st.
Vincent's Orphan Asylum.
The joint committee of the two organ
izations is as follows: The Elks, Messrs.
Donovan, King, Murphy, Keliher and
Cummings: the K. OF G, Messrs. Moran,
Heany, Nolan, MagzIre and Finnegan.
This committee at a recent meeting or
gained by electing Thomas ]. Donovan,
chairman. and Felix Mcguire. secretary.
Harry King was selected as manager
and "Cy" Cummings as captain of the
EIks. Felix Mcguire viii be the man
ager and probably Vic Bielaski will cap
tain the X Of c. team.
None but bona fide members Of the or
ganizations would be allowed to play on
either team. AS many of the best ball
players in the city are identified with
either one Of the organizations, there is
every prospect that the game will be
unusually good. July is is the probable
date. Candidates for the teams will file
their names with either Mr. King or
Mr.. Cummings for the Elks, and. for the
present, with Mr. Mcguire for the K. Of

.DONOHUE IS GLAD,
CRAYATH IS NOT
Chicago Players Take
Transfer With Vary
ing Emotions.

CHICAGO. May 1.-THE trade where
by the Washington team gets Donohue.
Altrock and Cravath for Big Bill Burns
has met with the approval of the fans
of Chicago
DOnohoe and Altrock are two OF the
oldest members of the White Sox team,
and they have many friends here that
hate to see them go, but the general
opinion is that they have played out
their string here, and will be better off
for the trade for they may show much
better form in the warmer climate OF
Washington.
Cravath has been unable to get his
eve on the ball since coming here,
out on the training trip he was
making A nome run or a three-base hit
nearly every day. He viii undoubtedly
mahe good with the bat as soon as he
rounds to his real form.
Burns has been sought for by Presi-
deEt Comiskey for nearly a year. Last
summer when the Sox We're hard up
Tor a pitcher Comiskey tried to get
Burns from Washington, but he could
rot offer the right kind of deal No
money consideration would be accepted
by Joe CantillOn. but now he has re-
ceived three players that will undoubt-
ediy be of good value to him either to
use on his own team or to trade for
some player that he wants.
Donohue has been anxious to get
away from Chicago for a year He did
not round to form last spring and had
some trouble with Manager Jones at
that time over playing anderson and
Isbel at first In place of using him
self. Jiggs has a big business here,
running a bowling alley at Drexel and
Thirty-ninth street, but the business
viii not prevent him going TO Wash
ington. CSavath is not well pleased over
the deal, but will make no objection as
soon as Cantillon comes to terms with
him.
Altrock will go also as soon as ne
hears from Joe in the right way.

RELIABILITY RUN
BY MOTORCYCLISTS
j. S. Bergman Travels on Equal
Terms With Autoists in
Saturdays Event.

The reliability run Of the Wash
ington Automobile Club of 1913 miles
last Saturday was seized upon by
several enthusiastic motor cyclists to
test their machines in competition
with automobiles
The results were highly gratifying
to the cyclists, who did excellent work
on the road J. s. Bergman, on a
Harley Davidson, left the starting
point about $50 a. m, and finished
about half an hour behind the Pack
ard. which was frs. in among the
automobiles. Mr.. Bergman SAYS he
beat the autos into Waynesboro. and
would have finished on equal terms
with the Packard except that he got
lost and went ten miles out of his
way near HagerstOWn, and when near
Washington on the return trip he
waited by the roadside for another
cyclist in the party. The machine
finished the trip in excellent shape
and without a puncture. The only
accident was minor one to the sad
die.

How TO Realize Benefits. q.
Owing to the fact that the people
of some of the Southern states were
slow to realize the benefits of rural
delivery and to petition for it, there
are probably a larger number of pc
titiOnS for the service Enacted upon
in these states than in others. This
circumstance accounts for the fact
that out of a total OF about HOO
routes which the department pro-
poses to establish throughout the
country. between now and June 80.
1909, 521 of the routes. or nearly 50
per cent, will be in the Southern
states above indicated.
Another thing that has contributed
To the increased number of routes to
be established in the Southern
states" continued Mr.. DeGraw, lis
the fact that iii cases where petitions
for the service heretofore submitted
have been rejected on account of bad
roads and gates across the roads. the
roads have been nut in a good state
of repair and the gates removed. In
the South, as elsewhere throughout
the country, the Introduction of rural
delivery has been d most potent fac
tor iii engendering interest in good
roads and the enactment of legiSIa-
ton for the improvement of high
ways. This is notably true in the
states of Georgia and Alabama and
certain parts of Tennessee and Mis-
siSsSippi, and there are evidences that
the good roads infection is spreading
-
fetal results not only TO the postal
service, but to the farmers them
selves, in the enhancement of tneiI
farm values and products and the
saving in wear and tear on their We
hicles and the animals which are used
to draw them.
With the introduction of a local
parcels post on rural routes. as re-
commended by the postmaster gen
er6l. and which is now being consid-
cred by congress" said Mr.. DeGraw
in conclusion. the value of rural de-
livery to the farmer would be greatly
enhanced.

Big Milwaukee Executive
Thinks Place Has a
Marvellous Future.

famous marching club. And you have

he continued.
The big mayor OF the big city OF
Milwaukee was walking up Paiafox
street and he stopped and viewed with
interest the wide thorOughfares of Pal
afox and Garden.
With those streets improved and
properly parked the possibilities for
beauty and attTactiveness are wonder
full, and particularly with such a eli
mate" said Mayor Rose. We have
made il a point to establish and i'm
prove the parkwayS along our streets
in Milwaukee and it adds greatly to
the beauty gOf the city. Why don't
you take those street car tracks out of
the center of that parkway and have
them run along the sides?" he asked
as he viewed the PaIafox street park
way.
Various Of our citizens have made
repeated but Intellectual attempts to
get the company TO move the tracks. 8"
vouchsafed The Journal representa-
tive, but they stand on their fran
chise and refuse to do it
IF they were in Milwaukee. they
would pull them out or we'd know the
reason why" said Mayor Rose. That
place could be made an exceptionally
attractive one and your citizens ought
TO do it,
Mayor Rose was greatly interested
in Pensacola's present development
and great future and particularly in
the new hotel. and it is quite likely
that this will not be MS last visit 10

The Associated Rose clubs of Mil
waukee, of which Mayor Rose is the
head. constitute some q organizations
ana over 5000 members. Every year
a hundred or more take an extended
trip like the present one, and they are
drilled like soldiers in marching and
other military evOlUtions. Mayor
Rose Is now serving his fifth term as
mayor. He is an attorney by profss,
