tut are determined today to put a crimp
in Cornell's aspirations.
1t is not unlikely that Cornell will
again have a game to its credit by
rightfall, for the Capital City club is
by all odds stronger than the Postoffice
nine on the performances to date in the
post-season series. With a capable corps
of pitchers and batters in the form of
Marceron and Macdonald who are de-
livering the goods, the Capital City team
Is not only expected to make a cleanup
Of the post-season series, but will in all
likelihood be able to trim the Richmond
players in the intercity contests.
The fact that Postoftice won the De-
partmental League flag so easily raised
high hopes that the team would be able
to win the post-season pennant. When
an analysis of the strength of the
leagues was made, Postoffice was found
to compare unfavorably with any of the

British Golfers in
National Amateur Games

1t is practically certain that three
British golfers will be among the COM
pedtors in the national amateur cham
pionship at Wheaton in another two
weeks. Harold H. Hilton, the former
English champion and holder of the
American title, arrived in Canada a few
days ago, together with John Low, who
visited these shores in 1903 as captain
of the Oxford-Cambridge team. 1t is
quite probable that Norman Hunter
who was member of that team, Will
try his luck. for his entry has been re-
ceiVed.
1t is more or less doubtful IL the
fourth player will come over; but in
the event of their being four II is highly
probable that Great Britain will be rep
resented in the Olympic team compe-
tition, which will be played at the Chi
,cago Golf Club on August 81. This
competition consists of thirty-six holes
medal play, total scores to count The
association whose team has the lowest
total becomes the custodian of the
trophy. Each member of the winning
team is also awarded medal.

1t Is doubtful If any one player has

the Cornell team. Macdonald has been

enough hits to score his teammates and
win the games, or has led off with a
hit which started batting rallies.
Few of the pitchers. heralded to make
such wonderful performances before the
post-season games have come through
with anything like what was credited
to them. During the league games in
the earlier part OF the season the pitch
ers stacked up against easy propositions
and got one hit and no hit games,
striking out more than ten batters al
most any time they took up the rum
ming.
With the fairly evenly matched team
in the post-season games the results
have been won or lost by rallies or err
rors, the pitchers failing signally to
duplicate their early season perform
ances. Good fielding in many cases has
held the scoring down rather than the
ability Of the pitchers to shut off the
hitting.
Indications are that the Richmond
team which the Washington champions
will have to defeat to win the intercity
title will be the same old Battle Axe
nine which took the title from Ameri-
can Security and Trust Company last
year. Battle Axe won from the South
ern Bell club yesterday. thereby gain
ing a title in fee simple to the Capital

Colonel Comskey tips the Athletics to finish in front
by fair margin by October. But Colonel Comiskey,
like good many Of us, is simply willing to make a
guess. There's dope the situation except that

lives, the keystone Of the government,

ers, this afternoon were placed by Dis
trict Attorney Miller before the jury ir
the closing hours OF the seventh week
of the dynamite conspiracy trial.
Half dozen witnesses from the Pa.
cific coast told of the movements Of J.
b. Mcnamara in California Immediate
ly prior to the Times explosion of Oct
1, 1910; told how he and his accom-
plices chartered boat and obtained
500 pounds of nitroglycerin from the
Giant Power company; how he at
tempted to establish an alibi by hur-
riedly renting room in San Francisco
and finally describing the appearance
of the Times building after the ex-
poison,
But none the less startling was the
testimony of Frank Eckoff of Cincin
natl. who told the jury that j. B. Nc
Namara asked him to kill him after
the Times affair, and also accuses J. B.
Mcnamara of plotting to dynamite a
train In order to kill Miss Mary Dye,
confidential stenographer and reputed
fiancee Of j. 3. Mcnamara, because the
McNamaras were afraid she knew too
much.'
The first California witness of the
afternoon was Mrs. Lena Ingersoll, a
lodging house keeper of San Francisco.
She said that man calling himself ].

Sept 4. 1910, and remained until Sept.

Hotel Argonaut as his future address.
He also gave her the hotels telephone
number. Mrs. Ingersoll said that the
mysterious "Schmidley." whom she de-
scribed as having 'squinty left eye,"
called on Mcnamara many times at
her house and was introduced to her.
The witness said she next saw Nc
Namara at II p. M, Oct. /, the day of
the Times explosion. He came to her
house, she said, out of breath, as il
