ST. LOUIS. Mo, May 15.-For four
innings today ST. Louis fans looked to
see Tom Hughes go through with a
no-run, no-hit game. He had every
thing.
In four rounds the only Brownie to
reach first was Ferris, who was the
recipient Of free transportation in the
secona. The outfeld was not offered
a single chance. Nothing that resem-
bled a hard-hit ball was slapped out.
The single Wallace gathered at the
start OF the fifth was a present from
Freeman. Big Jerry covered all of
seven-eighths of an inch in trying to
Talk about what a difference just one
play makes in a ball game. Things were
coming so easy for Hughes that he got
careless when Powell whom he had
famed in the third. feced him in the
eighth. over came a straight one. Red
John slapped ii up against the left
field wall. Youngster McAleese swung
badly all day yesterday. Today Hughes
famed him in the first. and he popped
up puny foul to Conroy in the fifth.
With the call three and two, Street
walked down to Hughes and ordered
him 10 make sure not to pass Nc
Aleese. So over came a straight one.
The kid met it cleanly and repeated
Powell's long double TO left The stuff
was off.
Hughes Ascends.
Thereafter Hughes was a tapiocs, and
as his fielders played like a sunch Of
$50 a month men, the result was never
afterwards in doubt Washington may
be great team, but Missourians think
not. The Browns have been getting
lambasted from every quarter this
spring, they are the laughing stock OF
the town and, when one remembers
that the celebrated Cardinals reside
here, that's saying a whole lot.
The Nationals alone have been easy
for the Browns. Now, If they were a
real good team. or even a passing fair
show in a common canter yesterday.
He pitched rings around Rube Waddel.
Still his supporters threw him down.
They claim it was their run. Local
bugs are cocksure that Il Is their abil-

Couldn't Row Full Stroke.

The fault with the whole Potomac out
fit was their utter inability to row a full
stroke.
Because of the furrowed course IL was
necessary to feather high and IN doing
this the PotCmacs seemed TO completely
lose the first quarter Of their stroke by
jabbing at the water instead OF anchor
ing their blades before applying power.
This not only lost the most valuable
part OF the whole stroke. but caused an
unsteadiness that resulted in a washing
out at the other end. Thus, for the
greater part Of the distance. the whole
crew was rowing noticely short. Not
only was il short. but IL was slow for
the average to the minute was only 81,
while the Navy maintained IS as a regl-
lar pace ana shot II up TO 3S In the final
spCrt
Several times the Potomacs attempted
to spurt, but IL was in vain. for the
crew seemed unable to find itself in the
troubled waters, 10 which II was wholly
unaccustOmed.
For the Midshipmen 1t must be said

Potomac's OFF Day.

To criticise harshly the Potomac eight
for it's comparatively poor showing
would be unfair. It simply had one OF
those off days that happen to any
crew. the principal cause of which was
the condition of the water. Up to noon
the Severn river was as smooth as
glass. with every indication pointing to
ideal conditions, but shortly after lunch
con a stiff southwest wind ruffled the
waters to such an extent that a she'll
could not have lived on the outer course.
This necessitated a change to the inner
stretch of a mile and a half, but even
here IL was so rough the Potomacs were
unable to keep their boat steady.
For some inexplicable reason, the
clubmen did not use washboards On
their gunwales. with the result that go
of water, which they had to bale out
with their jerseys. When the race
started, with breeze against the crews,
the situation was even worse, and be-
fore mile had been covered the shell
was so waterlogged that perfect rowing
was practically an impossibility. When
one remembers that each cubic foot OF
water weighs sixty-two snd one-half
pounds. II can easily be seen under
what handicap the Washington oars
men labored
But with liberal allowance for adverse
conditions of wind and water, it could
hardly be said that the POtomacs rowed
the shell are capable of better work is
beyond a doubt. but yesterday they
were decidedly off color. That intangi-
bic something called uniformity was alb
sent. and in every respect the Potomacs
suffered in comparison with the crew

they rowed quite as well as the second

POTOMACS NO MATCH
FOR NAVY OARSMEN
CareleSsneSS in Failing to
Have WashboardS a
Big Factor.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Potomac oarsmen are today recovering
from the blow Of a severe defeat.
When the eight young giants In the
first Navy crew, rowing In mastery
form. drove their frail shell across the
finish line on the Severn course yester-
day afternoon, they led the second
MILDLY boat by three lengths, while
from three to four lengths further
astern came the Potomac eight that
had been depended upon to give their
rivals A hard fight from sIln 10 flag.
From the viewpoint of competition
there was little of interest in the race.
After the first quarter OF mile the
midshipmen took the lead, and were
never headed. leaving whatever interest
there was I'm the tight between the Navy
second and the Potomacs. Up TO the
last quarter it was anybDdys second
place, but when the real squirt was
started the younger middiej responded
in such excellent style that they pulled
away from the clubmen without much
difficulty.

with but very few frills Jupiter
Pluvius turned on his water works
and gave this section OF our fair state
"a much needed rain.
The actual rainfall as told by tnc
government water Ruagc was, az one
o'clock 21O inches. That figure marks
the greatest rainfall at any one time
during the present year. \ glance at
the records of the weather bureau
here shows a startling comparison
with that Of last year up to this same
date
In 1905 the rainfall from Jan. to
June ., inclusive, was 1901 inches,

the rainfall has only been 9l3 inches.

Overfatness Conuemned

Fat, or even fattish, women readers
who want to be in the mode this year
must understand that the demand Is
for lines, not curves. and govern
themselves accordingly.
That means OFF with the fat. 1t
has become a duty. Many are trying
exercise or dieting; but II is certain
they will find these methods too slow
and unreliable. The cheapest ana
safest way 70 get in form for the
Directoire mode is by means OF Mar
mola Prescription Tablets. Any drug
gist (or the Marmalo Company, De.
troit, Mich.) will give you large-sized
case of these elegant little fat re-
ducers, containing a good generous
supply. for seventy-five cents, and
even this quantity should be enough
to make a decided impression on your
excess fat. Many have lost as much
as O. pound a day.
These Marmola Prescription Tab
lets may be used with impuhity and
likewise perfect confidence, for. be-
ing made strictly in accordance with
the famous Marmola Prescription,
they are. Of course. quite harmless.
