They could increase the speed of
any game good % per cent, if
they only would BY playing these
games at very top speed and by
keeping them going until 20 or 80
minutes of train time it ought to be
possible to play a full game every
Saturday afternoon.
The baseball fans do not so much
mind the early start. What is
hurting the attendance is the fear
of the fans that they will not see
a full game. even if they go early.
OF course Saturdays game was
particularly short because the rain
just before game time made
slight delay in starting necessary.
A game that starts at 2;15 is all
wrong Three o'clock is not bad.
Very probable $3.50 would be the
ideal game time in Atlanta in mid

1t was generally believed that the
1912 race in the older organization
would be a thrilling affair, while
the American league campaign was
figured as simply an uninteresting

band wagon showing the way
Many fans believed that the
Giants were lucky in winning the
pennAnt in the National and that
the Ph1nies. the Pirates and the

battle this season. They also be-
lieved that the Athletic band would
run its opponents of their feet

pennant cinched early in the sea-

In other words, II seemed certain
that the National league would

while the American league race
would be tame and embarrassing

Aviator Badly Hurt
At Baseball Game

Lieut.. william c. Sherman, of Wash
ington Barracks, and who on his spare
time flies one of the Wright biplanes
at the Army Aviation School at Col
lege Park, was badly hurt in a baseball
game on the aviation grounds yester-
day afternoon.
He was playing first base for the
Aviation School team against Bladen-
burg. The score was close and excit-
ing. While at bat, with the bases full
and two runs needed to tie, Pitcher Ar
thur Bailey, OF the Bladensburg team,
threw a fast in-curve ball. 1t sailed
toward Lieutenant Sherman's head. The
officer attempted to dodged, but failed
to get out of the way. The bail struck
him Just below the left temple, and
when picked up he was unconscious.
From the school hospital, where he
was taken for first aid treatment, he
was sent to Walter Reed Hospital in
the city. where today 1t was stated
that he will be able to return to his
duties by Wednesday.
Lieutenant Sherman has not been de.
tailed to duty at the Aviation School
but is anxious to become a military
aviator, and when he has a few spare
hours of his own he usually spends II
at the school taking Instructions.
When at West Point he played first
base on the Army team, and was con.
sidered a good ball player

SCOTT CONTRIBUTED
TO WEST VIRGINIA
IN 1904 CAMPAIGN
Former Senator Says He
Gave Nothing to National
Committee.

The pursuit OF politics was reasonably
expensive for Nathan Bay Scott, of
West Virginia, former Senator and ac-
lively connected with the Republican
national committee in 1904 as chairman
OF the speakers bureau and member
OF the Republican national committee
Mr.. Scott, before the Senate subcom-
mittee which is investigating campaign
contributions today, said that in 1904
he sent the Republican State committee
Of West Virginia between $4,000 and
$4O, COO
George w. Perkins also contributed
to the West Virginia campaign that
year. Mr.. Scott said Mr.. Perkins had
given him $4,000 to be used only in
the West Virginia campaign. Mr.. Per-
kins gave the money because, as
friend of President RooseveH's, ne
would be sorry to Sc the State turned
over to the Democrats, according to Mr..
Scotts version.
Did the contribution OF Mr.. Perkins
pass through the national committee?"
No. sir,,'' replied Senator Scott

Perkins asked me about the situation in

strong fight was being made on our
governor. w NJ. o. Dawson, and that

$50 600 and 40,0O0."
Mr.. Scott recalled no other contribu-
tions but small ones, below 81. 900. These
he turned over to Treasurer Bliss.
The witness recalled no contributions
to the national committee from tarin
organizations or leagues of manuIac-
turers. or from Havemeyer or j. Pier
pont Morgan, or anyone associated win
any large manufacturing interests, or
from the Steel, Oil, or Beef trusts. :,
He said 1t was generally understood
that Cortelyou and Bliss would not take
money from the trusts.
Mr.. Scott said he was glass manu-
facturer, but he did not talk to other
manufacturers about funds or SOLICIT
them and did not even ask his own cor
poration to contribute and did not think
1t did.
1t developed from the former sena-
tors testimony that the Republican
national committee that year had q con-
tract for campaign literature with the
American Protective Tarif League. But
he asserted this was not a contribution
but was paid for by the committee I'm

Scott did not know of any such con-
tribution. He thought Mr.. Perkins con-

MATRIMONIAL SHIP
AGAIN BOARDED BY
THOMAS ELLSWORTH
Wreck on First Cruise Fails
to Stop Employe at
Bureau.

Undismayed by the domestic ship
wreck he experienced on his first cruise,
Thomas p. Allsworth, who was recent
ly granted an absolute divorce from Ag-
mes Lee Allsworth, a manicurist at the
Ebbitt, today booked passage for a Sec
ond voyage on the matrimonial sea, his
sailing mate to be Miss Ethel M.
Grigsby.
The marital storm through which
Allsworth passed before was described
vividly In the District Supreme Court
In several petitions and testimony,
nearly score of witnesses testifying.
Alleged admissions of Mrs. Allsworth
that she loved the correspondent named
in her husbands petition resulted in a
decree In his favor. It was charged
that she made several trips to Baltl-
more. Philadelphia, and Atlantic City
with the young man named as her af-
finity
Mrs. Allsworth charged her husband
hired four detectives to spy on her and
that they made inquiries at the New
Ebbitt about her affairs and in other
ways interfered with her business. She
set forth the contention to have her
temporary alimony increased from SIS
a month, but the court declined to grant
the request
The Rev. John z. Briggs was named
in the marriage license as the pastor
who will start Allsworth off on his sec
ond matrimonial trip. Allsworth Is en-
ployed at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing and receives a salary of $40 a
month.
