Commerce and Labor defeated Treasury
by ) TO 3, and Agriculture won from the
Commissioners by TO 3 in the double
header on the White Lot ellipse yesterday
afternoon.
The game between Commerce and
Labor and Treasury was intensely eXcit-
ing throughout and replete with sensa-
tiOnal plays. The LabOrites obtained the
lead in the score in the first session and
were never headed, but just the same the
Treasury boys threatened to tie it up
several times, and this fact kept every
body deeply interested. The feature plays
were made by Mccarthy and Slavin of the
losing outfit. The former caught a fly
back in left garden that WAS of the most
difficult order. He caught the ball on
dead run and with his hack to il. The
player given big send-off, and he
certainly deserved 1t.

Laborites, had all sorts of speed and good

Notes of the Game.
Last season four runs were more than
enough for the Nationals to win from
Cleveland. but It was three too few for a
tie score yesterday.
Lajoie's third hit was pop single to
center: The Nationals infield was drawn
in when Larry connected. 1t was acci-
dental on his part and he laughed heart
lily when he ran to first.
Conroy's and Del's triples were about
twenty-five feet shy of the distance OF
Lords home run.
The Maps made eight hits in the first
thre" innings. seventeen men facing
Smith
Seven of the Maps thirteen bingles were
of the infeld variety
Lords home run was the first on the
home grounds this season.
Nick Altrock, another new National,
amused the fans with his funny antics on
the coaching line.
Mayor Tom Johnson paid two bits to
go into the bleachers. He said If the
Mans did not break their losing streak
season.
Cravath's throw to the plate on Tur-
ner's single in the second was perfect.
Bradley was out by ten feet.
Conroy hit the ball hard every time up.
He shared the batting honors with Lajoie
and Donohue.
Mcbride had to make a quick throw to
nip Goode, who is very fast. in the sixth.
Capt Jiggs said he never handled a
speedier ball.
Three left-handers were sent to bat
against Young in the ninth. but they did
not f1uster the old boy little bit.
! Capt. JiGgs made good. If ever a man
delivered for team in his first game,
Capt Donohue Of the Nationals is that
| individual.
Donohue still reigns supreme as a field
| err if his work around the initial sack
| in yesterdays game is a sample of what
he will continue to do for Washington.
He had ten putouts. three of them un-
assisted. He saved Conroy. Mcbride and
Smith by nice catches of bad throws.
| He had perfect batting average for
the day. The first time up he walked.
The second time he shot single to cen
ter. On his third trip he singled over
second. the ball taking bad hop and
all but humping J.aioie OH the head. On
his last trip to the plate Jigger laced out
a beautiful double.
| On the field Donohue impressed his men.
| He let them know right from the start
| that he was their boss. He looks and
acts like a leader of men, and it looks as
| if Cantillon made a ten strike in land
| ing him to pilot the Nationals on the
! field.

Stovall made a great play on McBrdes $
grounder to start the fifth, making a
spectacular stop and slide into first just
ahead of Mac. Street singled sharply to
right, and Smith sacrificed him n a single
base. Lajoie mussed up Brownies ground
er. but Browne was easy picking at sec
ond when Street forgot 10 go through
with his part of double steal.
Lajoie robbed Conroy of hit by a
great stop and throw in the sixth. Dele
hanty famed and Donohue singled over
second, the ball taking a bad bound
| from Young and second bad hop away
| from Lajoie. Cravath walked and Clymer
| boosted to Goode.
Killed Off Hits
| Two prospective hits were killed off in

Judicial matters are also likely to

labor organizations from it's operations

Corporation legislation is also likely

Along this line will also come trust

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The keel plates
of the two monster warships. the Orion
the improved DreadnOught battleship
the improved Drearnaught battleship,
were laid, the formers at Portsmouth
and the latter's at Davenport. The
bulk of the material for both vessels is
ready and all arrangements have been
made for their completion within two
years.
The construction of the Lion will
mark a notable stage in the evolution
Of the cruising battleship. She will
have 10000 horsepower. while her i'm

will displace $1,000 tons and her length
will be 700 feet, constituting her the
longest man-Of- war ever laid down.
What is technically known as her run
of deck" indicates an intention to equip
the cruiser battleship with ten 12-inch
guns, thus placing her as regards ar
mament On an equality with the lat

ably a nominal speed of p knots an

Oliver Splitter. one of the six that the
company employed, now charged with
conspiracy, offered to let him name
his own price for hushing the thing
up, and how Spitzer's partner hooked
him by the elbow and asked anxious

Questions designed to show that
