Today's Probable Lineup

Ray Morgan has been promoted. From
Inoldlng down position on Manager
Bill Cunningham's 20 o'clock infield,"
THE boy from Baltimo' is now a regular
ny authorized substitute of the first
team, taking his place in the batting
practice every day and keeping his hand
in for the day that will send him into
tho game.
The former Danville shortstop is
working with might and main to grad
Iuate. He wants to be in the game
whenever he can. Sent into the line
up at Boston, he showed Manager Grif-
nth that he was a timely, If not a hard,
4swatter of the bounding pellet. 1t was
! his excellent showing at Boston that
e. gave him chance to practice batting
with the regulars while Cunningham s
crowd were fielding the wallops
What Manager Griffith likes most of

The Baltimore boy is filled with dash
and spirit. He wants to become a regu-
lar player and will work his head off
TO attain that lofty position. His recent
promotion has given him a lot of con-

Lords Homer Over Right
Field Fence Wins
the Game.
By SENATOR"

In the first exhibition Of breakfast ta-
BILE baseball since the season of 1910
the Nationals dropped a near-battle
yesterday to the White Sox by a score
Of to 0, thereby sliding gracefully from
second place in the standing to one just
beneath. 1t looked as II Clark Griffith,
brain box of the local aggregation, had
double crossed himself by forcing Cal
lahan to play the game.
When he saw the kind of night 1t
was-yes, night not afternoon, he fig
ured quickly that Bobby Groom, the
elongated, attenuated, toothpick twirler,
with his puzzling curve ball and speedy
shoots, would be quite too much for the
enemy. 1t was right there that Grin
was correct. But he failed to take In
consideration the batting weaknesses
of J. Flynn and J. knight, either of
whom could have won the battle with
base knock in the fourth frame.
That's why Jeems Jawn Callahan has
the laugh on Griff today.
1t was tough luck for B. Groom to
drop such a well-pitched contest, but
that's, what he had to face. In the
bit He plunked Ping Bodie, the great
untamed, in the small of the back and
then stood petrified while Flynn was
gobbling Collins grounder, thus allow
ing two of the enemy the liberty OF the
paths.
However, Bobby got right down to
work and Kid Foster nailed Zeider' 8
bounder, got Collins at second, and
Knight pushed the pill to Flynn ahead
of Zeider for q neat double death.
Foster hustled over the wet grass for
Weaver's dribbler and spiked him Tor
the final out of the inning.

TING SUGAR FREE.

Washington, d. G., March 2.-The
house and senate leaders OF all shades
of political belief gave themselves over
today to q discussion Of the sensational
action of the house democratic caucus
last night in endorsing what in effect
is an income tax on all net incomes, In
Guiding salaries above $4,000 year.
That the house will pass the measure
by party vote within the next ten
days or two weeks is taken for granted.
The discussion, therefore, turned
largely on the reception the bill would
set in the senate. Its fate there seems
doubtful The plans of the house lead
ers were not wholly disclosed today by
but it was apparent that bill to e2-
tend the excise tax law now relating
to corporations so as to include CO.
partnerships and individuals was TO be
urged upon the house ahead of the bill
to put sugar on the free list.
The latter bin will of course share
In the debate on the sU-called income
tax, for it was to make up = deficit
Of more than s5o,000,0OO to be lost in
the customs revenue of sugar that the
new taxing measure was devised. The
democratic leaders want to he sure
the deficit will be provided for before
the duty is removed.
The new plan of the democrats took
their republican colleagues wholly by
surprise.

CLOSING OF TIN PLATE MILLS

IRON cENTERs FIRST TO FEEL
EFFECTS OF STRIKE.

London, March 2.--The great ports
of the United Kingdom, particularly
those in Wales, from which coal is
shipped to every part of the world,
and the centers Of the iron and steel
industry, naturally have been the first
to feel the eects of the strike of over
100000 coal miners in England, Scot
land and Wales.
Many iron works in the various dis
tricts were closed today and at
Swansea and elsewhere the docks
have come practically to a standstill
No vessels are arriving and the dock
ers and workmen employed in local
industries are thrown out of work.
Great crowds of these men gather in
the streets to discuss the dispute.
Thus far there have been no dis
turbances anywhere. In the south OF
Wales. however, the mine owners are
preparing for emergencies. They have
had walls built around the mines and
laid in great stores of provisions in
anticipation of a long seige. The rail-
road and street car service in many
cities was still further curtailed today.
The tin plate works Of Wales are
closing down rapidly owing to the
lack of coal Six hundred mills will
be idle within few days and 10000
men employed in these places will be
thrown out of work The prices of
food are rising rapidly.

AS "ExHlBlTS."

Washington, March 2.-The

hid their first inning in congress
today, when they appeared as
witnesses before the rules COM
mittee of the house. which is con-
sidering the necessity for an in
vestigation of the Lawrence,
Mass, strike.
Ten boys and three girls, part
of the striking army of wooden
mill workmen. appeared to tell the
committee the hardships of life
under the working conditions i'm
posed by the mill owners. The
committee, seeking full informa-
tion, called the children as wit
nesses.
Carmella Teola, an Italian girl
of 16 years, pretty and shy, was
one of the exhibits" Two years
ago she was caught in loom and
frightfully injured, her scalp be-
ing torn from her head, but no
legal proceedings were instituted
against the company. she still
works in the wooden mill and with
her father supports a family OF
seven. The aggregate pay Of faith
