filtered through four stores which oc-
cupied the ground floor of the building
and the crash came simultaneously
from ali four points. It was followed
Immediately by a great wave of fire
which swept rapidly up the airshafts,

FORFEIT GAMES HURTING
DISTRICT AMATEUR BALL
Teams Fail to Appear in Bankers and Commercial
Leagues s-Brightwood to Be Strengthened.
BY C. w. SWAN.


Two games were forfeited yesterday In
the amateur leagues Of Washington. TO
start to forfeit games now is bad sign
and the presidents Of the leagues that
had the forfeits had better get busy and
have the teams show up or get other
teams in the circuits that will put in en-
appearance.
This matter should be taken up at once,
as forfeited games are one Of the things
that will hurt amateur ball in any city.
While it is too early in the season to
holler, the two forfeits yesterday should
prove a good warning to the officials OF
the other leagues.
The failure Of the Twining team to play
yesterday was the result Of the poor
showing made in the opening game and
the lack of support that is necessary to
a winning ball club. When a fast team
is secured for the Independence League
that circuit will be one Of the fastest IN
the District.
team has been a disappointment to the
Suburban League fans, who have been
used to a high class of amateur ball,
better things are in store. as Manager
Cole expects to have a greatly strength
ened aggregation. several of last years
crack players having signifed that they
will join the team.
Ernie" Fentress, Cliff Howless, and
Billy Bergman are the men who will be
seen when the team next plays. Yester-
day the boys frightened up and had
little life in them when they made few
hits and runs, and with a little encour-
agement and a few good players they
should brace up and make a better show

uses OF SAYINGS
BANKS EXPLAINED
Thomas G. Potts Talks to
Chapter of Clerks.

Savings banks as teachers OF thrift
and economy and as forces in upbuild-
ing a community formed the subject OF
a lecture before Washington Chapter
of the American Institute Of Banking in
their rooms at 1914 F street northwest,
last night. by Thomas G. Potts, of Bal
timore, an expert on this class of bank
ing.
In the State OF New York alone there
are 121 savings banks that have on de-
posit over a billion and a half dollars,
received In little sums at which national
banks would laugh II offered to them by
customers said Mr. Potts. But out
Of such deposits as these 1t was the good
office of the savings banks Of Baltimore
to help habilitate the stricken city after
the stunning disaster OF its fire that
swept its business section.
while II Is not the province Of the
savings bank to develop a community,
that follows as a necessity from the in
vestment Of its deposits in municipal
bonds. state bonds, railway securities,
and public utilities. By its money the
community in which the savings bank
is located is materially improved.
Had savings banks been started by
philanthropic citizens throughout the
country more generally than they have
been II Is quite certain said the lee
turer, that there would never have been
felt any need Of postal savings banks"
Not only were the fundamental princi-
Piles Of sayings banks made plain in the
paper which Mr.. Potts read. but the

and exhaustive answers which Mr.. Potts
gave to the volley Of questions aimed at
him by his earnest and interested audi

OLD RIVALS CLASH
ON DIAMOND TO-DAY
Georgetown and C. Q. Teams
Play at Hilltop.

Georgetown and Catholic University
baseball teams will clash on the Hill
toppers' diamond at o'clock this after
noon, and one of the oest games of the
season is expected.
Because of its fine record this season
the Brookland boys are favorites in to-
days battle, but Georgetown is always a
dangerous foe. and the result will likely
be in doubt until the last man is out.
Chief Greene will do the twirling for
Catholic University, while Georgetown
will pitch Fienli or Wabby O'Connor.
Last season Catholic University won
two games from Georgetown, but this
year the wearers of the Blue and Gray
are considerable stronger To-day's bat
