rODAY's GAME:
ST. Paul VS.. Kendall. at North Capitol
and streets northwest. Game called
at SAB.
BY hitting Smith for four hits. that
netted four runs, st. Martin secured a
lead over National Union in the sixth
inning which the latter was unable to
overcome. st. Martin winning. II to 10.
The way that both Of the teams hit the
ball was a caution, National Union get
ting fifteen and St. Martin twelve hits in
the seven innings.
The biggest surprise of the evening was
the appearance of Newman upon the
field to take up the duties OF umpire. The
former umpire pleased but few. but at
that President Roakes was wiling to give
him fair chance.
st. Martin started the game with Nut
we'll In the box, but in the second, after
eight hits and seven runs had been made
off him. he was relieved by Wilkinson,
| who did much better, holding his oppon-
ents well in check during the five innings
In which he pitched
To Stuckert and Wilkinson goes much
! OF the credit for St Martins victory.
The former got three hits, one a triple;
scored three runs and made several stops
at first that held down the losers score.

| AS pinch hitter Andy Walker has
proved wonder. Yesterday. with two

behind he laid slow one down third
base line which he beat out at first, and

Union catcher allowed two runs to cross

| Hope Falconer was the premier slugger
for the losers. getting a double. triple
and single in four times at bat He also

the evening. In getting that fly he robbed

YESTERDAYS GAME.
Treasurers. 8; Traffic, 6.
By trimming Traffic in yesterdays con-
test the Treasurers remained in first
place with the excellent record of four
games won and none lost. Cooke was
on the slab for the winners and pitched
creditable game. In the first inning
he was hit hard, but when he became
warmed up properly the Trafficers were
able to touch him only In spots.
Umpire Credible had a hard day Of 1t
and a number Of his decisions met with
the disapproval Of the losers, as is a
usual case in any league. In the early
part of the game he removed Third Base
man Gill Of the Traffic team for abusive
language and for which act OF removal
he was approved by most of the crowd.
To Chew should go the principal cerdit
for the victory, as his three-sacker and
home run, the latter with two on the
bases, about settled things. Herring also
To Chew should go the principal credit
but unfortunately it came at time with
no one on.
Traffic scored one in the final round
and had one man on second when Carver
slammed a high one in the direction Of
left field foul line. Maynard, who was
covering that garden for the winners, ran
over and made a sensational catch. Had
the ball gotten away from the left
gardener the game might have had q
different aspect It was a beautiful
catch.
The infield of the winners put up an ex-
cellent fielding game. Aside from mis-
cues by Tate and Young. every chance
was handled well and several men were
caught between the sacks by lightning
plays. Tate handled several high throws
well and Parker at second, came across
with a one-hand stab OF a throw that
was a wonder.

tion to enter public life as an orator And
his subsequent years were shaped directly
toward that end.
Making good use of the eloquence learned
from Fessenden. and being gifted with a
fine voice. young Frye began soon to draw
crowds TO the court house at Lewiston
When he was thirty his neighbors sent
him up to the Legislature. That was an
even half century ago. the year when the
Civil Wars first gun sounded in Charles
ton harbor. And after giving him Sec
ond term in the Legislature his townsfolk
made him Mayor, then sent him back again
to the State House, where Eugene Hale
now sat with him-as later he was to be
his colleague I'm the federal Senate for
thirty years. But they were not TO be long
together in the State Legislature, for this
same year Frye when only thirty-six, be-
came the Attorney General of Maine. Three
years after this he was elected 20 Congress.
That was forty years ago last autumn,
and he has been a member OF Congress
ever since.
When Frye first took his seat within the
House wing Of the National Capitol, his
friend Hale was just commencing second
term upon that side OF the big dome. and
Cullom, of Illinois-now Senator-had just
retired after ending three terms there. No
member of our present Congress had a
seat I'm either House when Frye thus began
his career as a federal legislator. Cannon
was not TO enter for two years yet. And
all of this means that the little giant from
Maine is to-day not only the dad of the
Senate. but the father OF the entire Con-
gress of the United States.
Nor did he fall heir to these greater
laurels only the other day when he be-
came the nestor Of the upper body. AL
though Hale for several Congresses past
has been able TO brag Of the longest con-
tinuous service In the Senate, he has had
