FRENCH NAVAL SCANDALS
REVEALED BY REPORT
Parliamentary Commission Com
demns the Administration

PARIS, June 22.-Tne report of the
parliamentary commission which in
vestigated the naval scandals in France
is a scathing condemnation of the
naval administration for 10 years and
an astounding exposure. of the deplor-
able condition of the fleet for which
France has spent 500. 0oo,o 600 since
1899.
The $50 pages of the report are filed
with details OF the ineff1ciency that
makes French naval vessels cost %
per cent more than English or Ger
man. 1t is pointed out that the manu-
facture of cast iron. shells of large
to the battleship Iona, continued in
larger quantities than ever for two
years. The Patrie, the Republique and
other ships of this class were found
equipped with secondary guns of a
model of 1885 instead of 1902. as the
Specifications required.
Neither the ammunition nor the
guns of the six ships of the Danton
type. to be completed in 1911. will be
ready before 1914, and France has no
these vessels when they are finished.

Baseball Notes

Griffin was disappointment. After his long
rest all the fans expected that he would come
back like Darby. but, instead, he worked more
like a busher. Maybe he needs more exercise.
The main event Of the day was Henry Berry's
new dome. IL made more noise than Beall $
home run and Delmas triple combined. Nobody
could miss Berry, for that hat was in plain view
Of every part of the lot. He is going to switch
ribbons today and substitute green one for the
purple band.
The boys who thought that Bean was on slump
street all got the ernsher Imagine him coming
on with a homer that the game and two
singles besides. he nearly made it four in a
row at that. Any time that Beall don't get his
hits there is something wrong. Look out for
him.
Pitcher Ralph Willis was not in very good
form. but he was wssming up near the finish of
the game when the Angels began to take after
the shoots OF Eastley. Willis did not work at ali
in the north last week, though Captain Mohier
had him down for at least two games with Port
land.
Briswalter must be given credit for pitching
magnificent baseball after the big rally OF the
Seals in the third. 1t looked then as though the
youngster would be hooked for fair. but he pulled
himself out of bad hole. and from that time on
he managed to weather every storm.
The Oakland fans never pulled harder for their
own team than they did for the Seals, and it is
lack Of sympathy. All the regulars from this
side of the bay were also on the job, and the
roofing was terrific in that only happy inning
the third. There should be a great gathering OF
the clans at Valencia street today.
The chances are that Browning will do the
twisting for the Seals this afternoon. though II
Willis WARNS up properly he will be given a
chance to show what he has got. HENLEY, East.
