After we secured a lead of twenty
games or more early in the spring with
out using any of our veteran pitchers it
looked to me as if would have an easy
time landing the pennant,' remarked
Hughey Jennings. Il figured that when
the young pitchers should slump the vet
Grams would be in form and we could go
along winning a majority of our games.
But that is where | erred for when the
time came to work the old fellows they
We're not in the form that was expected
and we eventually lost the lead. A team
which gains the lead that we had has no
excuses coming when it is beaten. We
will, of course make a harder fight next
season. L am figuring on couple of
changes in my lineup, and if we can get
hold of couple of good pitchers we
will be in the fight again next year.
How is it that Fielder Jones hasn't
been mentioned as the probable successor
to McAleer? Is it possible that Fielder
has been forgotten?
The Tigers were the first to score yes
terday. In the fourth inning Ganor put
down bunt which Conroy threw poorly
to first and Gainor reached third before
a man was out. Moriarity flied to Milan.
Gainor at third. Stanage. however. hit a
high bounding grounder to Mcbride.
There was no chance to make play at
the plate and Gainor scored. Then Sum-

The Nationals tied the score in the
seventh. With one out Mcbride singled
and Conroy followed suit. Street was
walked. and with the bases full Johnson
hit long fly to Cobb. which scored Nc

The winning run came in the eighth,
which Schaefer opened by drawing
pass. Elberfed sacrificed, and Walkers
out put Schaefer on third, from where
he scored when Drake and Bush got

The fine cups presented by the Tribune

Birmingham and Power, and it was sug-

placed in the cup and one drawn out by
Miss Julia Rohner. the dignifed little
lady athlete, who added SO much to the
pleasure of the evening by pinninS on the

Athletic events between three services

of the speakers said, would go out in the
world to represent Chicago-perhaps at
Stockholm at the next Olympic games, or
at New York against those world known
athletic coppers there or perhaps to the

got one or two fine men.

ENGLISH PARLIAMENT OPENS
King George Had Little to Say About
Great Issues.

London, England.-The formal open
ing of the new parliament was mark
edi by gorgeous ceremony, and swas
attended by King George and Queen
Mary and their suites, most of the
dignitaries OF the empire, many mem.
bers of the diplomatic corps and all
others who could crowd within the
doors of Westminster.
The speech. from the throne was
brief and formal and made small ref
erence to the great issues that under
lie the assembling Of the members
for the present session.
Both Lord Lansdowne, in the house
of lords, and A. j. Balfour, in the
house of commons, the respective
leaders Of the opposition, took occa-
sion to denounce the reciprocity
agreement between the United States
and Canada, but the evening session
OF parliament was mainly devoted to
getting the legislative ship under
way.
James Ramsey Mcdonald who was
elected chairman of the Labor Party,
to replace George Nicoll Barnes who
retired on account or illness, charac.
terized Mr.. Balfour's description OF
the reciprocity agreement as an impe
rial diaster, as the most awkward and
colossal blunder he had ever heard in
parliament,
The prime minister, in, answer. to
the opposition speeches, said that for
the present it would be wise to with
hold criticism of the reciprocity agree
ment. 1t was as certain as the ris-
ing of the sun that sooner or later
the United States would have been
bound to level the tariff wall with
Canada,
