tics in order to cope with the new state
Of affairs.
That the hard hitting which Is now
going on Is sure to change the system
Of play stands to reason. 1t means that
the teams must adjust their tactics to
meet the new conditions. The question
is whether with the lively ball in vogue
1t will be policy to do any sacrificing or
bunting. One would suppose that 1t
would be more profitable to play the old
game. Of hitting the ball. Yet. if these
tactics are employed the infield Is sure
to play deeper, in which event the hunt
would prove splendid play.
With q lively ball In play it would
seem that the hit and run play will be
used more than ever. or, IL not this, the
old straightaway hitting game which was
played years ago. Just as yet no one
can tell what will be done. but the wise

on their support to win games will stand
little chance. for the lively ball will
travel too far and too fast to be handled

terday afternoon, tho Sewage Pumping
Station won another game this one from
tthe Navy Yard crew by the score Of 2
70 o.
It looked at the start that the game
was going to be pitchers battle be-
tween Buck Becker and oMore, and In
fact, It was. up until the close of the
sixth. when Buck quit. saying he had
enough. Becker's arm has not been In

now under q specialists care.
Roger Moore was Becker's rival In yes
terday's game, and it must be said that
he pitched one swell game. Moore kept
the four bingles that were garnered of
his delivery SO far apart yesterday that
The Navy Yard boys failed to score a run.
The Sewage Pumping Station scored
their two tallies in the fifth on triple
Of Hunts and q single Of Hofmans.

Until the end of the third inning IL
looked as if-the Bureau boys would sure

Aloysius boys guessing until the fifth.
They did not get hit until the fourth.
He famed five batters. allowed four hits
and gave seven bases on balls.
Carter pulled off a balk in the seventh
inning This was the first made in the
league this season.
Jack Leonard pitched a steady game for
the winners. Although they were getting
a hit In each inning, he kept hard at
work and allowed them to get two hits in
only one round. when run resulted.
Incidentally, Leonard was responsible
for making the victory a complete one for
his team. With RUNNER on first, Jack
lifted the second Offering Of Carter over
the right field fence for circuit drive:
league this season, and 1t was the ..rst
time the ball has been hit over that renee.
The Bureau team got seven hits. but
was only able to land one run. Demp-
sey, Hiser. Beard and Plat pulled OF a
fast double play. BaLbington and Leon
ard, for the winners, also pulled OF q
double play.
The Bureau team should have been
credited with another run, except for the
fact that Clayton, on an easy chance
failed to touch third In running home. He
crossed the pan. but was thrown out At
the third corner.
Leonard did some fielding In the CEN
ter of the diamond. He landed seven as
sists and one putout. Pat Carrigan. on
first, and O'Reilly. at second, also had
plenty of work to do. Taylor made two
nice catches in center deld.

A Home Recipe For
Removing Wrinkles
eFrom woman's national Journal.

Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at a disadvan-
tage in numerous ways by wearing
wrinkles, if she can avoid these hate
full marks of advancing age!
Few women, however. know what
to do to effectually rid themselves OF
wrinkles or sagginess. None of the
advertised preparations is satisfactory
and most of them are very expensive.
But very simple and harmless home
remedy, which any woman can make,
will work wonders where all the pat
ent preparations fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxolite
at any drug store. Dissolve the whole
ounce in half pint of witch hazel
and use it as a wash lotion. The
results are practically instantaneous.
Marked improvement is noticed inn
mediately after the very first trial.
Wrinkles and sagging are corrected
and the face feels SO refreshed and
smuglike.

HIS. LIBERTY CUT SHORT
BY SENTENCE TO "PEN''
Ed Jones, Colored, of Willow Tree
Alley, Out Short Time, Returns
for Eleven Months.

Although Ed Jones. colored. Of Willow
Tree alley returned to the midst Of his
friends only last Wednesday after a short
stay in a penitentiary. he was sent down
again for eleven months this morning,
and all on account of that very same
Hannibal family that got him i'm trouble
before.
Ed Jones, whose alias is Ed Kilgore.
never could abide the Hannibal family.
so he said this morning. A long time
ago he had trouble with Mrs. Hannibal.
She was witness today in court. She
started to show the place where the knife
had slashed her. in connection with the
original trouble.
Never mind; don't take your clothes
or" Judge Aukman instructed.
1t seems that as soon as Ed got back
in Willow Tree alley his enemies, the
allies Of the Hannihals. began to taunt
him about getting In trouble over q
woman. He went out in search OF a
Hannibal a few days ago. but failed to
find the particular Hannibal he was
after, so he got into a row with Marga-
ct Hannibal, the daughter.
Nearly all Of Willow Tree alleys So
ciety ran out OF the houses. attracted
by the noise. and many OF them swore
In court that Ed had knife or varying
lengths, but the only true courage on
the occasion was shown by Thomas Car
ter, Willow Tree alleys well known
server Of beer from a push cart. He has
but one leg. and q short one at that, bu,
he stood between Margaret and her
fate, until William Grimes, policeman
arrived.
Nearly half the courtroom was occu.
pied by Margarets witnesses. Ed SAID
he never had no knife, he never tried
to cut no woman, and that the whole
business was q case Of perjuicy."
All the same, he was sentenced to
eleven months.

Wants Christian Funeral for Walter
Samuel Wall, Aged Seventy-Two.

Morguemaster Schonenbereer has his

tain contributions from charitable per-
sons for the funeral expenses Of Walter
Samuel Wall. seventy-two years old. who
died In an ambulance yesterday after
noon while being taken from his home at
s0l o street TO the Washington Asylum
Hospital.
Wall was employed as watchman on
9TH street while the street railway tracks
were being overhauled. When he fell
and injured his leg not much attention
was paid TO his injury He was beng
taken to the hospital when death claimed
him.
Wall was born in this city. His means
were such THAT IL was dirficult for him
to provide for his wife and himself.
The wife Is unable to bury the body,"
says the morguenaster 1T seems hard
that in a Christian community an old
man should be unable TO get the proper
care In his last days. and also that his
body should have TO be buried In potters
