BIG PACIFIC NAVY
NEEDED, SAYSfvANS
Fighting Bob Declares Twenty
four Battleships Should Be
on Each Coast
Lives Over Again "The War
With SPAIN in Lecture at
Dreamland Rink

Hundreds of men volunteered to do
only reason that 1 could see for Sc
lecting him to command the sinking of
the Merrimac was that we could spare
Hobson about as well as any one
This was one of the statements made
by Rear Admiral Robley ID. Evans, who
in an address at Dreamland rink yes
terday afternoon. He drew a start
ling parallel between the helplessness
of Cervera's fleet. steaming out of
Santiago harbor in single file. and the
condition of future American fleet
attempting to pass through the Pan
anna canal into the Pacific ocean with
hostile battleships controlling the Pa
ciflc.
FATE OF CERyERA'S FLEET
"Cerveras fleet could not get out of
Santiago harbor fast enough TO form
in battle array said Evans, "and
American warships passing through
the. Panama canal could emerge from
the locks only one at a time. Thus, as
each battleship came from the locks,
If war was on. it would have to face
whole fleet of hostile battleships. Be-
sides it would be comparatively easy
for an enemy with stick of dynamite
to ipjure the locks SO a battleship
could not pass through.
'Twenty-four battleships and the
necessary auxiliaries are needed on
each coast. The west should demand
these and should get them. The west
should get anything it wants. Why.
If the Pacific coast had been settled
first there would still be grass grow
ing all over the east. No one would
want to go east. There would be no
reason for il.
When you get "a battleships on
each coast no one will want to play
with you. The limit will be too high"
EVANS FORCEFUL TALKER
Seated with his crutches laid to one
side. talking clearly and forcefully and
never infringing on the borders of the
realm of bombastic fourth of July
oratory. the veteran who commanded
the Atlantic fleet from Hampton
Roads to San Francisco" proved him
self a lecturer both interesting and
authoritative.
In commenting on the Sampson
Schley controversy Rear Admiral
Evans asserted that If both had been
absent the captain of any one of the
vessels could have commanded the fleet
and destroyed Cervera's battleships.
'If the captains were absent said
the speaker, "a lieutenant could have
achieved the same results and If the
lieutenants We're absent an ensign
could have done it and so could a mid
shipman. If all the officers were gone
! the men could have done it. Admiral
Sampson was six miles away when the
Iowa, which / commanded, fired the
first shot"

MAKES BIG SCORE.

There was nothing to the game yes
terday afternoon with Hartman A. O.
but merry swat fest of base hits and
run scoring by the Park team. Hart
man brought here good team but the
pitching was the kind that gave the
Park lads an opportunity to fstten up
their batting averages. While the
Brady boys were amassing 10 safe hits
the Hartman lads made errors and
the combination gave the Park lads
23 runs.
In the field the Park boys played ag-
gressive, fast ball, errors marring
the play, one of them, a muff of fly
by Brown costing a run.
Williams pitched a nice, steady
game, six hits being made off him.
Gallagher got three of these.
OF the 20 runs scored 10 of them
were earned by the Park team. Brown
and Birmingham each made 2.base hits,
while Williams hit a couple.
