LAUREL HILL, VA, April 13,-In
the most remarkable game ever
known in the history of baseball the
lronside team got revenge on the
mighty Laurel Hill sluggers and
made them bite the dust, to 0. in
fifteen inning match Wednesday.
Tho game was pitchers battle, j.
Pollard having IA slight advantage over
Wog. Again and again Ham ArnaiI
would send n line drive to the car
tracks. but Walker was always on the
job, and robbed him of three home
runs.
Things looked dark for the Iron
sides in the twelfth, with tho bases
full and emily one down, but NenabIe.s
one-hand catch and remarkable throw
to the plate saved the day. Pollard
seemed exhausted in the fifteenth
and was replaced by y. Regal who
proved an easy mark. and Wog, the
first man up. sent the pill far over
the barn for home run, an almost
impossible feat. breaking up the most
wonderful game ever played on I4au-
rel Hill field. The Laurel Hin boys
couldn't realize that they were beat
en-, and Ham Arnali wept as he left
the fed. Following Is the score:

TESTS IN MIMIC WARFARE.
Aeroplanes Will Be Tried Out Off
ProvincetoWn,

Beginning August IA there will be a
series of tests of aeroplanes in mimic
naval warfare off Provincetown, Mass.
Heretofore the battleships have had
some practice at aerial targets suspend
ed from large box kites, but these trials
did not approximate the actual condi-
tons that will arise when an aeroplane
in free flight scars over a fleet, therefore
intense interest is felt in the approach
ing tests, which have never before been
attempted by any ravy.
The aeroplanes will be fitted with pom
toons, enabling them to arise from and
alighJ upon the water. The aviators
will try 70 drop dummy bombs on the
decks of the ships. while the naval gum
ners will try to keep their machine guns
sighted upon the planes long enough 10
enable them TO claim theoretical hit.
AT night the searchlights will try to pick
up the aeroclanes, task realized to
be vastly more difficult than the dis
covery of a boat on a fiat surface Then
one of the swift scout cruisers is to be
sent out to sea and an aviator is TO
endeavor to locate her and report her
position by wireless to the feet off the
coast. An attempt will also be made 10
use the planes to convey messages be-
tween the ships OF the fleet and the
shore.

me in the most responsible position it had
to give.
MY duty is here helping the House TO
make good, and l am going to stay here

In other words, am not going to neglect
the work here in order to run around the
country after another office L regard
the record we are making In our demo-
cratic House as superb We are busy
carving out our promises to the people
and we will continue on that line.
