The other day a man was arrested
and fined for using disrespectful lang
uage to a policeman, thereby inter-
fering with him in the discharge Of
his duty. 1t is strange that there
should be men who think they can do
that with impunity. One may be gull
ty of bigamy or run a trust, or be a
steady CRATER and yet escape punish
ment, but the consequences of reviiing
a policeman are inevitable. So, when
there are so many crimes to pick from,
no intelligent man should select this.

day, May 3, east diamond Ellipse
Today's contest between the Trsas-
urers and Bookkeepers has been most
poned, and will be played off Friday,
May 19.
That the league Is on a firm basis Is
evidenced by the interest displayed by
the teams not only in the matter of the
playing Of the games. but.the way in
squads on hand for the same-on time.
To Secretary Geoffrey creyke and
credit for the splendid manner in which
the league was launched this year, and
which from present prospects promises
to be most successful season. The
ward for the success of the circuit
should be appreciated by every member
of every team in the league.

by virtue Of three victories, and no de-
featS. The excellent showing Is due to
the manner in which Captain Herring
has directed his team and the good
pitching of Cooke.
Saturday the Treasurers defeated the
Equitable Life Insurance team on the
Ellipse, 13 to S.
RobinSon's homer in Saturdays game
was the first ever made in this circuit.
The hit was a long one, and by good
sprinting the Lawites' backstop beat
the throw to the plate.
While the game today has been post
poned to Friday. it Is possible that an
other postponement is due for that day,
and Thursday because of the high school
competitive drill.

Shamrock Saturday was the fourth

In doing this Shamrock has to work
dOubly hard to overcome the handi-

getting into the first column.

TODAY-CornelI Co. vs. Navy Yard, North
Capitol and l. streets.
1t Is expected that a game we'll worth
seeing will be played this afternoon be-
tween Cornell Company and the Navy
Yard. Navy Yard has been going along
at good rate, and is getting better
all the time.
While Cornell won out over Navy
Yard the last time they met, there Is
every reason to believe that the Navy
team will make a better showing if the
men show up today.
Gallagher and Giovannetti will prob
ably be the opposing pitchers today.
The wire on top of the left field fence
will no doubt cut the high flies down
Before the rule was changed a fly over
the fence was good for a homer. Now
but two bases are allowed.
Several Capital City players played in
an exhibition game at the District
League park Yesterday
If Giovannetti, of the Navy Yard, can
repeat his performance Of Friday. he
will make hard going for Cornell to-
day.
The Cornell team seems in the opin-
ion of many, to be playing listless ball.
If Johnny Priest plays in town his
strength on the team will help it out
to a great degree.
The pitchers seem to have 1t on the
batters more than ever in this league
this season. Changes in boxmen dur
ing the games have been few and far
between. In but one or two instances
have pitchers failed tc finish out games.

The players of both teams were picked

Jack Leonard and Burke were the op-

Leonard for eleven hits.
Macdonald got four hits out of four
times at bat, and fielded in good shape.
More Sunday games will probably be
scheduled during the summer. There are
many who cannot go out to the daily
games. and good crowds are generally
in evidence on Sunday.
Billy Marceron went hitless in a game
the first time this season. 1t Is seldom
that this player gets into a game with
out getting at least one safety.

Two changes in management have

elected new manager on account of
the resignation of Maupin, and Carroll,
the hard-hitting fist baseman, Is now
running the affairs OF the club.

The games played in the Marquette
! League last week were a decided i'm
provement over the contests which
marked the opening week. The battles
, were not so one-Sided, and the con-
testants put up a better article of ball.
One team which improved greatly
was the nine which represents, Com

thoroughly groomed his ball tossers,
with the result that all those who were
not doing good work being benched.
Indian Office, which defeated Com
pany X, was trounced by ST. Stephens
Friday to the tune of % to 4. The
soldiers in all the games that they
have played have not been showed un-
der by any such score.
On the other hand they put up a
creditable showing against the Naval
Medico team Saturday, and also against
the st. Stephen nine in the first week.
In the next few games they can be
counted on to break their hoodoo anO
move up a peg or two from their
present standing.
The games for this week are as fol-

Both Petworth and Parkview, which
meet today, have well matched teams,
Petworth appears to have more class in
the field, while at the bat Parkview is
a hard proposition.
II is hoped that before the game is
started today the diamond will be
much improved, for Secretary Jones
said he would have the diamond raked
and rolled before the next game.
The game today begins at $50 sharp.
Early attendance is expected, for Park
view intends to SOW the game up in the
first, according to the manager.
Mr.. Brooks will no doubt have his
hands full, for the crowd got after him
last week.

Rumor has it that Newberry, the main
stay of the champion Agriculture team
of 1863 will again be seen with the
Farmers this season. dt is also likely
that Priest, the sensational shortstop
of the champion Danville team of last
year. will cast his lot with Agriculture.
Priest started the season with Indianap-
oils, but some trouble occurred over the
New York Americans claim on him, and
he is now back in the city.
1t is almost certain that the games
on Thursday and Friday will be post
poned. The annual competitive drill of
ne High School cadets will be held on
these days on the Ellipse. and as it is
unlik ely that thev will be over before
o'clock, a postponement of the league
games will probably be necessary.

Hamline is leading the league. North
Carolina has played well and has lost
two out of three.
The proposed resignation of Ninth
from the league may be forthcoming
at the meeting tonight. The resig-
nation Of this team may be nothing
more than idle .rumor.
Now that the men are coming out

Nanking, Feb. 9.-That 100000
persons are starving and another L.
100000 are dying of disease in the
plague-ridden sections of China is
the estimate here today of the Rev
z. c. Lobenstein, who has just re-
turned from the stricken districts.
Only one-third of the population of
Anhui province Rev. Lobenstein
says, will be able to sustain life un-
assisted, and other workers in the
famine districts report conditions in
creasingly terrible as the days pass.
So grave is the famine that even the
children, who have been sold by their
parents for food, are now drug on
the market, and not enough food re-
mains to feed those who formerly
purchased the little ones.
To add to the horrors of the situa-
tion "a cold wave has set in over the
famine district, and hundreds Of
those at the last stages of exhaustion
from famine are freezing to death.
