GAMES WON AND LOST BY EACH PITCHER
WASHINGTON BIRDS WIN.
Beat Over 1000 Baltimore Birds by
More Than an Hour.

Mr. A. G.. Thomas of Balston Va, and
Mr.. E. c. Rollins, both members CT the
Washington Federation OF Homing Pigeon
Fanciers. easily won the big race yester-
day from Huntington, Pa: when they not
only topped their colleagues. but their
two birds were more than an hour IN
front of the 1,95 pigeons entered by
twelve clubs in Baltimore.
. Never before in the history of pigeon
racing have two birds defeated 100
others by such wide margin, and Messrs.
Thomas and Rollins are receiving the
congratulations Of their hosts of friends.
The winner of the race proved to be
THE Comet" a bird of noble lineage
which traces her ancestors back to Cham
pion. I.1SS mile stock. while the second
bird Dazzle" is also of royal blood.
A more disastrous day for pigeon rae
ing has never been encountered locally
due to heavy rain storms, and less than
~ per cent of all the birds liberated TO
home to different clubs were reported by
night. OF the 10 entered by the WASH
inston federation only sixteen returned
and today's gloomy weather is barrier
that few will overcome.

Loantaka Withdraws, But Others
Are Past Cape Hatteras.

PHILADELPHIA. May 23.-A report
from Delaware breakwater, Del. this
morning says the motor boat LDantaka.
one of the starters in the Philadelphia
Havana race, is passing up the Delaware
river. This would indicate that the owner
has abandoned the race on account of the
engine trouble which developed soon
after the start Saturday, and is returning
to Philadelphia.
The withdrawal OF the Loantaka leaves
four boats in the race. A tug arriving
at the breakwater today reports that
when the little racers passed to sea Satur-
day night the Berneyo was leading. with
the Caliph second and the Ilys and
Caroline close behind The boats rounded
Cape Hatteras during last night, but no
report regarding them has been received
here. The weather reports indicate that
conditions of wind and sea today are
favorable to the racers.

description Of the worth of each of the
twenty-five players who have taken part
in thirty-one games played by them to
Sunday May %. During the past week
they have played six games with the
Cleveland and st. Louis teams of the
western division. winning three and los
ing two and having one tie game with
st. Louis. The team has shown marked
Improvement as a whole and is fielding
much better than earlier in the season,
but their batting has fallen off some
what. Six of the team have shown I'M
provement in this respect and increased
their batting averages. While Milan and
E1berfeld have made the most singles,
81 and 81, respectively, Gessler is the
slugger of the team in total bases, haN-
ing made 81 singles. 5 doubles, triples
and l home run, for a total Of A bases,
in the 81 games played by him. Milan
is the leading run-getter of the team and
of the American League. with 81 runs TO
his credit in the 81 games. A perusal OF
the figures will give better idea of the
Nationals work than space allows here:

BECKETT BALKED.
Fear of Arrest Kept Bridge Jumper
From Performing Yesterday.

A quiet tip from friend prevented
Feorge Beckett from again jumping from
the Aqueduct bridge yesterday. He had
performed the feat in clever style Fri
day, and was going back yesterday to
repeat, but the fear of being placed under
arrest kept him off the bridge. The po-
lice authorities fear that Beckett will be
killed, and, although lie has performed
the feat of jumping from the Aqueduct
bridge several times, there is no telling
when a mishap will occur. Many ath-
letes have been killed in the perform
ance of feats similar to Beckett's, but
the Georgetown youth has escaped I'M
harmed many times. He simply takes a
leap from the bridge and says the only
trick is to land on his feet, and this he
always has been able to do

sure TO make trouble. and the jumps in
those days used to sneak on the field and
get off of II as quickly as possible after.
But things have changed. Umpiring now
adays is the Softest kind of job. All it
requires is a little judgment. for as base
ball is conducted nowadays the player
hasn't a chance to make any trouble for
the umpres. Early in my career we were
taught to fight the umpires. 1t was just
As essential to a player to be able to
buffalo an umpire as to he able to hit.
| guess the game has been benefited by
stopping this sort Of thing and the nm
pire today has about tie est job il lase
ball"
The fact that the Nationals have
scored many more runs this season than
they did in the same number OF games
last season can be directly attributed to
the wonderful Improvement in Milan
playing. Last year Milan was not get
ting on the bases as often as a player
who leads the batting order should, with
the result that the others could not over
come the handicap and that many hits
were wasted This year Milan is leading
the league in the number of times he's
has been on the bags and in the number
of runs scored. 1t only shows what a
great difference one ball player can make
10 a team. With Milan playing no better
than he did in the last race the Nationals
would not have won near as many games
as they have.
McAleers players are as much inter-
ested in Bill Hinrich, Walter Johnson's
protese, any of the fans. The players
want Hinrich to make good, and because
of the assertion from Johnson that Hin
rich possesses as much speed he the
youngster is being turiouSly eyed and
his first warm-up with the team will be
inspected by every man on the team.
IF Hinrich has Johnson's speed he is
a marvel" remarked Dolly Gray yester-
day. Il have never seen any pitcher
with .Johnsons smoke. and if this young
ster has it, why he is sure 10 make good.
1t is hard to believe that there is
ether pitcher with the speed that john
son possesses. blIt Walter was on the
same team with him he ought to know.
hope Hinrich is good as Walter says
he is. for he would be a great help ITO
the team.
The Nationals doing much better
than they did this time last year, when
they won games and lost % and 1 tie
game out of the 81 games played;
they have made DID, base hits out of 912
times at bat, against 1872 out of 1,Hl
times at bat in 1909: made 96 runs,
against e. in 1900. and they have two
pitchers who have broken even in num-
her of games won and lost, while in
1899 they did not have one above the
400 per cent mark.

Conway, June 2.-An attempt was made last night about o'clock to assassinate B. L. King, the night watchman. The officer was making his rounds, and was in the rear of Menty & Dollarhide's grocery store, when he saw a man sneaking along in the shadows.
 King, surmising that he had caught Ia burglar in the act of attempting to rob the store, quickly dropped to the ground and at that moment the prow- Ter fired upon him, the bullet passing through his coat.
 The nightwatchman then fired three or four shots at the thief, who ran away, probably escaping unhurt in the darkness. He thinks the man was negro or a white man wearing a black mask.

The Graphic regrets that it's re- cent article regarding the arrest of g negro at Altheimer, charged with ar son, should have given offense 10 some of the representative people of that thriving town, who say that they "neyer had any desire to lynch Walter Pullman and would not countenance such an act, but on the contrary would do all in our power to pre- vent it."'
 A careful reading of the Graphic s article of the 31st ult will indicate that this paper had no desire to re- fleet on any Individual or set of in- dividuals. This papers information regarding the feeling at Altheime1 came to our office from an officer ot the law whose information has always been considered reliable and one whose veracity we have no reason to question.
 If lynching had been pulled of in Altheimer we do not believe sin. gle one of the fire sufferers anj prominent citizens of that town who have given expression to the words quoted above, would have been mum bered in the party of lynchers.
 In nearly every community there is a certain element which has n. particular interest in the crime com mitted by the prospective victim Q Judge Lynch. This element regard ]ynching bee in much the same ligh that a small child does a holiday o Sunday School picnic. and if Juds Lynch and presided over the destinie of Walter Pullman this elemer would have been the judicial and ex, cutive branches of the law which me ed out his fate. >4s
