Albert Ogle, the star slab artist of the
Berry & Whitmore aggregation of the
Commercial League, was rendered a con-
tract yesterday from the Montgomery
baseball club of the Carolina Association,
TO twill for them this season OgIe has
signed and will leave for the Southern
city with Greene, who is also a WASH
ington boy.
'4l' pitched in the Southern League
five years ago, and WAS making good.
when he pitched a game with a wet ball
and his arm was strained. Although he
won the game, he was unable TO do any
more pitching that season He returned
home and went to work for his father
Last season he held his own with the
pitchers in the Commercial League, and
had ii not been for his good work i is
likely the Berry & Whitmore boys would
not have made such a good showing
as they did
Ogle's arm has come back stronger
than ever. and he is expected to make a
good showing in the Carolina league For
the past few weeks he has been getting
into condition by pitching ball m one of
the local gymnasfUuns. Greene who all
the fans remember by his good work
against the Georgetown varsity nine
last year when pitching for the Catholic
University, will be OgIe's side partner.
and these two boys are expected to make
good in fast company.
The Frederick team wanted to obtain
Ogle's signature last season. but il was
refused, as Ar felt that he was not al
his best and could not pitch winning bail

PENSIONERS DISAPPOINTED.
Unfortunate Omission Made b
Committee of COnrrcns

Unfortunate Omission Made by
Committee of Congress.
Having read in a morning paper that
Congress had appropriated 81, 600 to carry
on the payments to widows and orphans
of policemen and firemen of the District,
many pensioners were disappointed yes
terday when they went to the District
Building and learned that the appropria-
ton had been left out OF the District bill.
and that there WAS not enough money in
the fund to pay them.
What Congress did in the last hours of
its life was to cut out the amendment
in the general deficiency bill The situa-
ton is regarded as unfortunate, and I'm
less the fines at the Police Court increase
there will be no relief until Congress APP
propriates money for the purpose.

partment, Lieut.. Frank I. Willis, Of the
Kensington apartment house, clerk.
dropped dead yesterday morning 1t is
thought that he was attacked with apo
plexy. When ne arrived at the office in
the morning. he complained Of feeling i'll,
but it was not known by his associates
that his condition was serious.
Lieut. Willis was a veteran of the civil

tie OF Petersburg in July. 1854. just be-
fore an order was executed to commits
sion him as a second lieutenant in the
Fifty-frst New York Volunteers

, showing some class with the willow, and

hind the willow. viii do some tall hust-
| ling in the coming games.
! Hugh Wright, one Of the stars Of the
| Olympia Athletic Club Reserves of last
| year is out for the midway sack at
| Business, and on his present form will
make the other candidates hustle for the
job.
| Coach DonneIly, of Eastern, is very
well pleased with the material ON hand.
and as he has a perfect field to prac-
| tice on the Capitol Hill boys are certain
| to be we'll represented on the diamond
/ this season.
Those Western High School lads are
certainly some runners. Curly Byrd
has taught the boys from across the
creek great deal in the past month and
deserves all the credit in the world for
his work.
Capt Boetler of Central is in his old
time FORM and is sure to do the box
work at the "O'- street school. With
King behind the bat, Capt Boetler is Ger
ing series.
OF the candidates at Eastern, Barr, who
is out for the second base job, shows the
most promise of making good. Last year
this youngster played a star game for
the Laurel, Nd, team, and was there
with the stick.
Johnny Lyon, of Eastern, warmed I'D
| for the first time yesterday morning and
| his fast-breaking curves were working
| fine. AS Lyon has a world OF speed and
| a good assortment of benders, he is sure
Of the box job at the Capitol Hill school.
Another youngster that is showing I'D
wei in practice is Schrider, who is out
for the backstop job at Business Al
though a trifie light Schrider has the
making of a good receiver, and with the
proper kind of coaching should develop
into a first-class catcher.
Capt. Varela, Of Eastern, displayed his
true form in yesterdays practice, getting
line drives and grounders in fine order
''Oz'' is one of the fastest infielders In
the District, and under his able guidance
the Eastern team is sure to make a good
record on the diamond.
Among the candidates that reported for
the team at Eastern last week was SAN
derson, the manager OF the ball team.
Although having played very little bah
before, SanderSon is good sdcker and
fast man. AS stick work win count
among the outnelders, Sanderson has
more than a chance to make good.
In Austin. Flynn, and Garland, Tech
nicaI has trio of corking good twiriers.
All of these men have seen service be-
fore and have given good account OF
themselves. The school coach Is very
much taken up with these lads, ana with
country Morris behind the bat the
Maehinists are wen fortified as TO bat
teries.

In the game during the past season, says:
IF basketball is to continue the game
should be played differently than it has
been this season For while the rough
playing was confined to one or two men
almost altogether, the taste left is none

be done by the supporters OF the game
