ELECTED.
Chiffon and Watson Named
BY the Legislature.
West Virginia Democratic Nominees
for US. Senate Declared Elected
by Joint Session.

Charleston. W. Va, Jan. 25.-
Despite the withdrawal of all Re-
publican members Of the lower
house from the joint session Of
the Legislature and the absence of
the fifteen Republican senators-elect
the Democrats of the West Virginia
lawmaking body today voted for
United States Senators for the long
and short terms caused by the ex-
liration of Senator N. B. Seott's
term of office and the death of
Senator Stephen b. Elkins.
Predictions were freely made be-
fore the balloting began that be-
cause of charges of corruption in
the Democratic caucus the nominees
of that gathering, William f. Chill
ton and Clarence Watson, would not
receive a majority of the votes OF
their party.
Chaotic conditions confronted the
Democrats, the twenty-three Re-
publicans in the lower house having
withdrawn Just before the balloting
started.
Despite this situation the friends
of Chiffon and Watson forced a
ballot. Chiffon received seventy-one
votes on the call for the long term
this number being thirteen in ex.
cess Of majority of the entire Leg.
islature. . .....
For the short term Clarence
Watson received seventy votes; W
C. Bnenett. four, and John W
Davis, two. Watson was thus elect
ed with twelve votes TO spare.
All suggestions for delay wer,
defeated. The balloting was follow
ed by declarations of the election
of Clifton and Watson.
Rumors have already arisen thai
Gov Glasscock will make good his
threat to refuse commissions t.
the new Senators, taking the grount
that the Legislature is not legally
organized, and therefore withou
power to choose successors to sena
tors Scott and Elkins. 1t is conced
ed that whether the question is tC
reach this phase depends upon thc
outcome of the struggle for contro
of the State Senate.

Only Five Games Won Since
They Left, and Season
Is Half Gone.
HERMAN SCHAEFER
BEST RUN GETTER
Averages Show Nationals Are a
Peculiarly Low Scoring
Machine.
By SENATOR"
Only washIugtOn Nevspaner Man
With the Nationals.

81. LOUIS, July 2.-Tired and travail
stained, the Nationals will leave thfa
city at midnight for home. Half the
season is gone and they have dropped
down to their rightful position. close tn
that other worse looking organization,
the Browns. There is little hope in
the breasts Of the Nationals, and they
are simply playing out the schedule, all
idea Of bettertng their position having
gone. They are hopelessly outclassed
and they know It.
Five games have been won on this
tr1p-two in Boston, two in Chicago,
and one in Detroit Slipshod playing
lost one game in Boston, two in De-
troit. one in Chicago, two in Cleveland,
and one here. Had these games been
won the homecoming of the Nationals
would be something in the nature of a
celebration.
Box scores are deceitful. Base hits
are base hits, to be sure, but some base
hits are only base hits while others
send in runs. The Nationals seldom
get the run-getting base hits. Dixie
Walker and Clyde Milan are almost
useless when it comes to scoring runs,
though their batting averages are high.
Schaefer Best Run Getter.
Herman Schaefer is the best rungetter
on the team, his clouts when men are
on the bases generally going far
enough to be of some use. Now and
then Gessler, Elberfeld, or Mcbride
come through with hits when needed,
but the Nationals are peculiarly a lew
scoring machine.
However, you fans are always inter-
ested in the batting averages Of your
team, so here they are with the tabu-
lated work Of the twirlers up to to-
days game with the Browns:

Austin was hurting wildly after gather
ing up Conroy's slow single along the
line. Seeing Clarke still grabbing the
pill, Mcbride crossed the dish.
Johnson In a Pinch.
Ainsmith lost a chance to be a hero,
for he drove one straight at Clarke. 1t
was up to a pinch hitter right here, ana
the fans wondered as they saw the
formidable Walter Johnson approach
the plate. They Uttered, some even
guffawed The idea of sending pitcher
to bat in a pinch. The next moment
they heard the sound of an explosion
and saw a cannon ball rushing toward
center. It was Johnson's terrific single
that scored Conroy with the final tally
of the soft summer afternoon Milan
end Schaefer boosted-thats all-and the
Nationals had dropped their third in
row to the despised Browns.
Yes. there were a few good plays, but
only a few All in all, 1t was a dull ex-
hibition. Red Walker misjudged

like a blind owl, stuck out his fin, nailed

stand for Stephens high foul in the
fourth, and Stephens rushed over to the

Switching the franchise.

AS improbable as might appear the
plan Of Ned Hanlon to take a National
League franchise from Boston to Bald-

by the baseball patrons of this city.

for the fans of Washington to travel
to Philadelphia whenever they want TO

of these Jaunts are taken by Washing

There is hardly a real fan in this city
who would not like to see those fight

senior organization and If Baltimore
lands the franchise big crowds from
here will go there to see the best teams
in the National League.

for going the way the Nationals are at

that the weekend patronage would go

Offers a Real Test
For Driver Burman

Bob Burmans ability to drive on
circular dirt track with the "Blitzen"
Benz will be put to the acid test at
Point Breeze near Philadelphia when
he makes his trial next Saturday after
noon. The speed king has been clip
ping existing records wherever he has
gone, establishing a new worlds cir
cular dirt track mark at Brighton
Beach over a track that had never been
driven in less than fifty seconds, but
he has never before been on as treach-
crous a course as Point Breeze race
track In the Remy brassard and
trophy race he will have his hands full
with Billy Knipper at the wheel of the
200-horsepower Mercedes, and he will
also be forced to extend himself to the
limit when the two meet in the big
match race. Knipper has an air of
confidence that predicts that he will
push ,Burrnan to the limit. Hughes, of
the Mercer, will also be a factor in the
decision of some of the important
events on the program. He has been
racing the little yellow colored space
eaters for some time and every con-
test has proven more and more that he
is a star of the first caliber.

Says McAleer Has Made Mol
Mention of Buying
! Club.
DOUBTS WHETHER
TAYLOR WOULD SELL
Explains How Recruit Becker
Came to Join the
Nationals.

Il do not believe there is anything
IN ii and even If there have been any
negotiations l feel confident that they
will never be cOnsummated."
This was the statement of Presi.
dent Tom Noyes late yesterday after
noon when he returned from a week s
vacation and was asked about the re-
port that Manager McAleer. of the
Washington ball club, is trying to
purchase the Boston Americans.
ITO start with, 1 doubt if John l.
Taylor wants to sell his valuable
property and if he should decide to
retire from baseball the price would
be SO high that it would require a
mighty wealthy individual or a strong
company to put through the deal,''
continued the head of the Nationals.
"McAleer has a two-year contract
with US and l think that if he was
planning any change 1 would be the
first person with whom he would
discuss the matter.
my absence from Washington had
nothing whatever to do with the al
legged negotiations. L spent the week
at Cape May and have heard nothing
about the supposed sale except what
I have read in the papers,"
The mystery of the signing of
Buck" Becker, the amateur pitcher,
was partly cleared by President
Noyes. 1t seems that Becker was
recommended as a most likely youth
who had had some little profe ssion-
al experience in two minor leagues.
Mr. NOyes considered the matter for
couple of days and then wired from
Philadelphia to a party in this city
to act as agent and sign the player
Becker'S signature was immediately
obtained and he was shipped West
to Join the Nationals, although, ac-
cording to adviCes from St Louis, not
even Business Manager Fowler knew
Becker was signed until the player
reached the hotel and announced him

Fielding Keeps C. Walker

Manager McAleer is keeping Clarence
Walker in the game day after day for
the sake of his fielding. The lad is new
to major league baseball and sometimes
shows 1t, but on the whole he is prov
ing livelier on his feet than Jack I,eIi-
welt. his predecessor Now and then he
makes circus catches in the garden

Cunningham a Failure.
Bill Cunningham, hailed last fall as the
coming Lajoie of 1911, has fallen hope
lessly by the wayside and it is very un-
likely that he will adorn the infield
again this season unless something hap
pens to Elberfeld or Conroy. Cunning
ham practices daily, but cannot seem to
cover any ground in the field, and curve
balls are his bane at the bat.
Tuesday the Nationals open a long
home stay with the Tigers, Naplanders.
White SoX, Browns, and Yankees, their
guests in that order. They will play on
their own park until August Is, when
they close a series with the Highland
ers. Then they come right back hera
again and start their last swing around
the Western wheel for 1911.
Manager McAleer, johnson, Street,
Milan, and Schaefer will leave tonight
at 715 over the Big Four for Cleveland,
where tomorrow they will take part in
the AGdie Joss celebration. The mem
bers of the team have subscribed $50
toward the fund, directing that the tick
cts so purchased be given to a Cleve-
land home for orphan children. Man
ager McAleer paid SIS for a box. Sec
retary Barnard, of the Cleveland club,
who Is in charge of the Addie Joss day
celebration, expects to take in about
so, 900 for Joss widow and two minor
children.

Venable unfortunate.

Just at a time when he was going al
about the fastest clip in his career as
professional ball player, Buck Ven
able, of this city, has been unlucky
enough to suffer an injury that has
had a most disastrous effect on both
his batting and fielding.
Venable is with Scranton in the New
York State League, and he was making
a great bid for high honors in hitting
when he tore one Of the ligaments in
his left hand. The result has been that
he has been unable to get a good hold
on the bat and his average has taken
tumble within the last week or ten
days.

Motorcyclists active.

Some Of my motorcycle friends were
in today to tell me that three important
changes in the rules for competition
have been recommended to the Fedora
ton Of American Motorcyclists. They
involve the classification of competitors,
referees, and sanction fees. 1t is the de-
sire of ]. P. Thornley,, chairman Of the
competition committee, to find method
by which riders who are purely profess
sional will not be retained in the anna
tuer class. He has suggested that rid
ers who compete on tracks outside of
radius of fifty miles from their legal
residence be declared professional.
Some regard this suggestion as a
good way out of the difficulty, while
others are not fsvorably impressed. 1t
has been pointed out that this would
work a hardship on some riders who
are not-and who do not desire to be
so classed-professiona AT the same
time it would force some professionals
out of the amateur ranks. Whatever
is done will probably work at least
temporary disadvantage to some riders,
