New Electric Score Board.

1t is usually q matter of keen regret to
the base ball fan when the home team
packs its bat bag and hikes away to
distant city to play. and if the local root
ers had their say in the schedule-making
the Nationals would never leave their
home diggings at all. This being impos-
sfble. of course, it has been the custom
for the fans to either wait for the papers
next day to hear the results of the game
or stand in front of the newspaper offices
and watch the result posted. inning by
inning. But this condition of affairs Is
to be all changed. A Washington rooter
has prepared what he claims to be a won
derful electric scoreboard. and upon this
board will be reproduced all the games
the Nationals play away from home. The
games will be played on the scoreboard
at the National Rifles Armory. G street

throughout the day was intense. People
who had never seen snow before went
crazy. and the order of the day was

were caused in the streets through it. Not

Boys got on the roofs of buildings and
simply showered down balls on any and

had awakened in heaven, and refused to
work or eat. 1t showed heavily all that
day, and by evening there were xteen
inches of snow. All the trees were in full

the weight.

ply for permits to ply their profession in

Maj. Richard Sylvester. superintendent
of police will be required to 'sit for their
photographs that they may be pasted to

has been done in the past.
The first applicant who appeared for a
permit afte. the issue of the new order
showed his resentment when requested to
sit for his picture. He was quite sure he
did not belong to the Black Hand gang
and was not aware that he was under ar
rest, but until the facts were explained to
him he exhibited indicat .ons of case of
horrors in the first degree. Even after
he was assured of the reason for requir-
ing his photograph. pale and wan look
fingered on his countenance and he did
not seem quite happy when he departed.
Maj. Sylvester also favors the IMPOSE
ton of a tax of $25 on itinerant must
clans, especially the organ grinders. but
thus far the Commissioners do not ap-
pear to be impressed with the sugges-
ton.
