Washington, April 90. President
Taft went to the baseball game yester-
day and saw Washington walloped 8
to 4 by the Boston American leaguers.
He was initiated into the mysteries of
the spit ball. shared a scent bag OF

win, and said sadly he hoped 'he
wasn't hoodoo.'
Although the game was one-sided al
most from the first, there were some
thrilling plays mixed with the bad ones
on the part of the Washington play
ers and the president remained until
the last man was out The final play
was the best of the game A Washing

ter that seemed to wear home run
tag. Speaker, the Boston center field
er, ran 40 feet toward the fence. made
a leap into the air and the ball stuck
fast in his gloved hand.
History Has No ParelleI.
No one in Washington could recall
the day just when a president of the
United States attended a ball game in
this city. With all of his love for out
door life and sports, Mr.. Roosevelt did
not so within the bail grounds during
his seven years at the White house.
President Taft arrived at the game
at the beginning of the second inning.
Boston was at bat, two men were out.

one in the party to remark that if he
ever lost the job of vice president he
might get a place on Ban Johnson's
scoring staff.
Rattles the Pitcher.
The presidents arrival and the brief
interruption of play had the effect of
giving Dolly" Gray, Washington
pitching recruit from the minor
leagues, a bad case of stage fright.
Before the last Bostonian was out in
the inning two runs had been scored.
While the president still looked on
hopefully in the fourth the Washing
ton players got so ratified they couldn't
pick up the ball after stopping it, and
Boston got away with four more tai
lies. 1t was then that the president
said he hoped he wasn't a ''hoodoo."

At the Majestic.-For the week of
April 26 the Majestic theater, Chicago.
will offer number of notable attrac
tons, but probably the one of chief
interest, will be the appearance of
Miss Eleanor Gordon, formerly lead

of Chicago audiences during the stock
company days of this popular theater
Miss Gordon has not been seen IN
Chicago for two years, having been
with the Castle Square Stock company
in Boston during that time, where she
easily duplicated the success that was
hers here. For her vaudeville offer
ing she has secured a sparkling little
farce comedy entitled Tips on Tap
which as the name implies, has some
thing to do with horse racing. 1t is
full Of life and fun from start to finish,
and Miss Gordon has a role well
suited to her. Joseph Sullivan, who
was formerly leading man at the Bush
temple, is in Miss Gordon's support.
Another smart feature of the bill Will
be the two dainty Amoros sisters,
Partisan novelty acrobats, who per
form series of wonderful feats. This
is their first engagement at the Males
tic, and something of a genuine nov
city may be expected from them. An
other act new to this theater is Tony
Wilson and Mile. Heloise, originators
of the tramplin or bounding mat, who
present a very entertaining number.
Maize King, handsome young woman
who can dance as well as she looks,
assisted by several pretty girls. has a
iterpsichorean speciality which will he
sure to incite interest. HILBERT and
Warren have a piano playing number
and several others of note in the
vaudeville world may be depended up
on to provide an entertaining program

The State Fair Association has been

much but the management is very
busy this morning and has a corps of
laborers employed repairing the dam

The most serious damage was done
to the roof of the old capitol, which
