McCabe Denies Charge.

absolutely untrue is the manner in
which George p. McCabe, solicitor for
the Department of Agriculture, charac-
terized the charge made by former Chief
Forester Clifford Pinchot in New York
last night that he (McCabe) had shut of
the instruction of forest rangers without
consulting any one in the forest service
my attention was first called to the
practice Of educating the rangers at gov
eminent expense" said Mr.. McCabe, "by
an interview with Seattle man visiting
in Washington. who applauded the work
of the rangers.
Believing that such expenditure was
not legally permissible. Mr.. McCabe said.
he brought the matter to the attention of
the chiefs of the various divisions of the
service, amJng them Chief ADAMS of the
branch of operation. They declared the
practice was being followed.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-02-10
Consulted Mr.. Wilson.

After a discussion of the matter" con-
tinued Mr. McCabe, Il was convinced that
the government funds should not be used
in that way, and accordingly l took UP
the matter with Secretary Wilson, at the
same time telegraphing the disbursing off,
GERS in the field to withhold further pay
ments on the education account until the
matter could be determined.
Secretary Wilson suggested that the
affair be lodged with the controller of
the Treasury. which was done. His rul-
ing was according to the law, stripped of
sentiment When it was received the
abolishment of education Of government
employees at government expense fol-
lowed"
Mr.. McCabe declared he had acted only
as an officer of the government i'll pur-
suance of his duty.

Prostitution of the Law.

II am not concerned with the motive
behind this indefensible sacrifice Of the
public welfare. 1t is typical illustra-
ton of a certain way to obey the law.
OF course, it is not obedience to the law
at all, but the prostitution of the law. 1t
is the method so effectively used by the
special interests against the people, and
there is nothing to be said in it's favor.
The whole proceeding is not seen in It's
true light until realize its effect on
nearly 200 of the best young men in the
forest service. who were officially ordered
to those schools for instruction. These
rangers are poor men, working for from
$500 to 1890 a year, and they need their
pay. Yet they will lose not only their
pay for the time they attended these
schools, but the money already advanced
out of their own pockets for travelling
and other expenses
1t is cruel and needless loss, but the
fine loyalty of these rangers to their
work is shown by the fact that about
half of them have stayed on at the rang
err schools at their own expense in order
the better to learn their public Duties

YANKEES FAIL TO SCORE
Badly Trounced by Boston on a
Soggy Diamond.
FRILL DRIVEN TO BENCH
Wood a Complete Puzzle to New
York Men, Who Get Only
Five Hits.

BOSTON. Nav e-On a heavy, soggy field
and before crowd of hardly more than one
Thousand persons the Boston Red Sox came
into their own here to-day. They not only
broke their losing streak. but trounced the
New York Yankees by a score of 10 to O.
Loose playing on the part of the visitors,
due in part parhaps, to the wet ball, and
heavy timely hitting on the part of the
home team, tell the story in brief.
Jack F'rill, who has been pitching such
good ball for the Yankees, found the con
ditions so much against him that he could
not control the slippery ball, and the Rec
Sox drove him to the bench by making
eight hits off his delivery in four innings
Joe Doyle, who took his place, was an i'm
provement once he settled down, and held
his opponents to three hits in the four in
nings he pitched.
Young Mr.. Wood, who made a name for
himself in the opening game of the season
in New York. when he pitched the latter
part of the thirteen-inning tie battle, was
the rock on which the ship of the Yankees
split. He was as steady as a rock, and
held the visitor to five hits. The Red Sox
played we'll behind him. too, Wagner being
the only man to make an error.
Trouble began for FriIl in the second in
ming, when with one out Wagner drove the
ball over Crees head for two bases. Gard
ner fouled out to Chase, but Lewis singled
to left. scoring Wagner. and romped across
the plate himself moment later. when Car
rigan sent the ball screaming into the left
field bleachers for home run.
The home team piled on the agony in the
next inning, when four runs We're added to
the score. After Hooper had flied out to
Chase, Lord and Stahl singled and the for
nler scored on Chase's bad throw to Austin
after catching Speakers foul. Frill was
afraid of Wagner and gave him a free pass.
The speedy shortstop stole second. and both
he and Stahl scored when Gardner lined
the ball over VOTERS head for three bases.
Chase relayed the ball to Austin in an eff
fort to get Gardner. but once more his
throw was wild and the runner scored.
Doyle took Frill's place in the box at the
opening of the fifth inning, and Speaker.
the first man to face him, opened with a
three-bagger. Wagner again drew a base
on balls, and on Mitchells poor throw to
catch him stealing Speaker scored. Wagner
romped across the plate with the tenth and
last run on q sacrifice fly.
The Yankees punched two hits in the
first inning, when Chase and Cree single,i.
but no runs resulted, and after that Wood
settled down and soon had the Yankees
tame enough TO eat out of his hand. as the
saying goes.
The St Louis players. who are here for a
series which begins tomorrow. watched the
game from the grandstand helping to swell
the small crowd which had been scared off
by the rain in the morning The Yankees
left Immediately after the game for New
York. To repel, If possible, the invasion OF

Chicago, May 9.-Pfeister. who has ever
been a terror to the Giants, shot his elusive
curves over the plate to such good advan-
tage here to-day that Chicago defeated Ne"
York by a score of 2 to o. and this In spite
of the fact that the Cubs were more or less
crippled without the services OF Chance ana
Tinker. Chance. who has been Ill for sew
eral days directed his team from the bench

Bugs Raymond did the pitching for
New York and did Il well enough TO win an
ordinary game, holding the Cubs to seven
hits, but his team mates were so complete
Iy puzzled by Pfeister's delivery that they
did not lend him the proper support with
the stick, three hits being the sum total for
the day, OF which Raymond was responsible

those present was Lieutenant ShackIeton.

gions, who saw a baseball game between
big league mines for the first time
The Cubs got two singles off Raymond
delivery in the first inning, but brilliant
fielding prevented a score. Schlei made
circus catch of Sheckard's foul by reaching
over the box seats, while Devore. by a per-
feet line throw to the plate, cut Evers Oh
from scoring, after a long single TO left heId
by Luderus.
After that both teams were retired IN
practically one. two. three order until the
sixth inning. when the Cubs scored one run,
thanks largely to the fast and heady work
of Evers. who actually scored from hrst
base ON Sheckards infeld hit.
He started from first on the hit and run
signal, and reached third as Raymond field
ed Sheckard's bunt. He kept right on. how
ever, and raced across the plate as Bugs
stood and held the ball in a dazed sort OF
way.
The Cubs added another run in the next
inning, but the brilliant base running Of
Evers had won the game.
Brfdwell was back at shortstop for New
York and played his usual strong game
