BY CONSTANCE CARRUTHERs.


WASHINGTON, April 2S.-(Special to
The Bee)-President Taft and Mrs. Taft
celebrated their silver wedding on Tues
day. The occasion was one Of the most
pleasant social functions of the season.
All the members of the Taft family, and
many relatives and friends were the guests
of the chief magistrate and lady of the
White House President Taft declined
many invitations that the date might be
kept for their wedding anniversary cele-
bration.

ness for music and the drama. They have

gagement of Robert Mantell and Marie

every evening. The series Of musicals
which Mrs. Taft arranged for the White

White House Mrs. Bckstein of Cincinnati
who has been friend of the Taft family
Tor several years.

Joined the movement against the use of
orchids and other high priced flowers for
social affairs, she is assisting It greatly
by the decorations she insists on at her
reception. The wife of the president is
great lover OF spring flowers. and, in fact,
throughout the year prefers native bios
SONS to the exotics. At her largest din
ners this season there always was an
abundance Of white lilies with dainty gar
lands of arbltus.
Miss Helen Taft continues to be one Of
the most feted debutants the White House
has ever had. One of the recent pleasant
entertainments in her honor was that
given by Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Foster, in
which Miss Katherine HILL daughter Of
Ambassador to France David Jayne Hill
and Mrs. Hill. shared the honors of the
evening.
Mrs Taft attended musical recently
given by Mrs. Norman Williams at her
Sixteenth street residence, when Nine
IIpkowska, the Russian singer, and Mile
Deter. violinist, presented a delightful
program.

plenty Of sand" and the Pittsburg play
ers would be unable to do the same thing,
is about the most childish yarn that ever
came out OF the city Of Pittsburg, and IN
its time It has spun some Of the widest
and baldest fakes that ever were rung
out in baseball. It's ten to one that
no soapstone ever found its way into
either baseball park in New York, unless
some Of the players were wearing new
shoes and needed 1t TO get into them after
they had been playing ball for two or
three hours.
There's nothing which SO completely
confutes Clarkes story as the fact that
his own pitchers had such gzol control
of the ball the last time they were here.
This soapstone thing is almost equal to
that dictagraph fake" which came out
Of Cincinnati last spring. That vas the
baldest-faced "whopper" that had been
published for a long time in baseball.
II the story were not directly attributed
to Clarke by a writer who certainty
seems to have received it from him. one
would think that somebody had been TAX
Ing the name OF the Pittsburg manager in

Anyhow, II there was soapstone, how
long would it last? Just while the pitcher
was rubbing the ball around in his glove

Commissioners TO

Statement of Two Managers of Teams in the

Amateur Comment of Interest.
By c. W. SWAN.

That the Commissioners will stick In
he District League was the statement
of two managers Of teams in the cir
cult last night.
While the Commissioners will be weak
ened by the loss of several of the cracks,
Manager Handiboe will endeavor to put
nine men on the field in all the remain
ing games and promises that there will
$be no more forfeited games charged
Against the Commissioners.
Tho District League has had a some
what stormy career the first year of its
existence in the amateur ranks OF the
Diktrict-
FIRST there was quite little trouble
ftting the sixth team The Congress
aopals were formed and admitted into
he folG. Then, as many OF their play
4ers were members OF other teams, the
pngressionals were dropped and the
bvernment Printing Of1ce team was ad-
nitted, but this aggregation, too, was
Funable to turn the tide of forfeits, and
VT was dropped. Now it seems that some
body started a story that the Commis-
stoners would withdraw, and then only
Jour "eams would be left to finish out
/the schedule.
