Marcan Stars Brilliantly

But the star of the game was Marcan The Baron second baseman never showed to better advantage. In the field he was everywhere at the same time thus vio- lating all the rules of higher mathematics For the days work he contributed ten assists and three put-outs, and never did he pebble. Some of his chances were ex- he gobbled grounders back of second. and on one occasion made spectacular grab of A bounder that had huddled his head
 The Barons gave Boyd sensational sup port. as a matter of fact. This is proved in the fact that the locals totaled 22 assists. One of the star bits of work. which will serve as an example, occurred in the second. Moves smashed one fear fully to deep right-one of those which Strike the ground just as the fielder gets in reach of it. It took bound and land ed against the fence. Messenger grabbed if. and like a shot hurled 1t to Ellam. Moves in the meantime was midway be- tween second and third. He was dropped af third. the peg of E.llam to Almeida having been perfect.

Messenger peat out nit De- tween second and first. Carroll singled to right. Almeida hit to Evans who tagged Messenger and then threw wildly to first. Carroll reached third and scored on a passed ball. In the second the Barons kent LID the good work. Mcbride opened with a double and Ellam walked. Yantz attempted a sacrifice but was safe when Boehling threw badly. The bases were full and no man was out. Boyd walked, forcing Mcbride over the plate. Mar can hit to Boehling and with Ellam was doubled. Messenger famed.
 And then came the excitement of the eighth. Boehling opened with single. covle beat out a hit and third and sec ond were occupied when Boyd threw wild Iy to first It was a thrilling moment. Balenti singled and Boehling scored. though Marean threw Colye out at the plate. This play probably cost the Look outs the game. Morans single scored Balenti.
 The Barons Win
 The Barons came back strong. Carroll opened with a single through short and scored when Almeida cracked the first one pitched for two bases Almeida scored when McBrides short fly was per mitted to fall safely.

Breitenstein Is Tackled

It was unfortunate that such spec taeular exhibition should have ended as that of yesterday ended. Following the success of Carroll in reaching first and winning the game, after having been the third to fan in a row, the Lookouts grew wrathy They surrounded Breiten- stein, claiming that the ball on which Carroll had taken his third swing struck the batsman. Breitenstein however, thought otherwise. To his eye the ball passed the bat of Carroll and struck the init of Moves only to rebound with twist toward first The argument was long drawn out, but as far as known none of the visitors lost their temper to extent of doing bodily injury.
 Boehling pitched an excellent game, one that he deserved to win. He had every thing, apparently. In the second inning he was wild to the extent of forcing man over the plate. But as a rule he was steady He had great speed, finely breaking curve and decepive delivery. But for that first straight ball he delights in throwing the Baron hits would have been less than they were by more than half In the way of hitting, Balenti, the Lookout Indian, got away with the honors He rapped out four juicy ones in four trials. Mcbride with three in four, and Carroll with three in five. followed.

And there was no excuse for Boeh1lng. Throughout the game he had been throwing the first one straight and 1t was generally on the first ball pitched that the Barons smashed out their safeties.

The Sensational Finish

In the eighsh the Lookouts rushed another run. over the platter and the score was tied. In the same round second run was scored and the Barons were behind In their half of the eighth, however. the Barons got on their mettle. A couple of smashes right off the reel tied the score and a moment later, after pushing another run over. the Barons were in the lead. But in the ninth the pestiferous Look outs, apparently having accepted The Age -Heralds suggestion that every inch should be stubbornly contested scored again.
 And the Barons came back. Boye opened with triple on the first ball. n stragiht one-pitched. He might have scored. Then Boehling, who throughout pitched a masterful game, settled down to real work.

Famed Aviator, After Slight Rally,
Passes Away in Dayton,
Ohio.
THE PRESIDENTS TRIBUTE
History of Deceased and His Con-
quest of the Air One Of The Most
Romantic in Era OF Inventions.

Dayton, o., May 3O.--Following the
slight rally, during which he took
nourishment, Wilbur Wright, worlds
famed inventor aviator, died at 3:15
this morning. His end came peace
fully and he was surrounded by men,
bers of his family.
Washington, May 30.-Shocked by
the death of Wilbur Wright, President
Taft today declared that he deserved
to be ranked with Fulton and Steph-
enson and Bell.
81 am very sorry that the father of
the great new science of aeronautics
is dead,' he said, "and that he has not
been permitted to live to see the won-
derful development that is sure to fol-
low along the primary lines Of the new
science which he laid down. He de-
served to stand with Fulton and Steph
enson ard Bell"
Wilbur Wright's conquest of the air
with the aid of his brother, Orvile,
his sister and father, an aged Meth
odist minister, is one of the most ro-
mantle in the history Of inventions.
The forty-five years Of the inventor,
born in Millville, Ind, April 16, 1867,
run the gamut of mechanical endeav-
or, from a bicycle repair shop to the
aeroplane factory. With funds from
their bicycle and machine shop aug
mented from the slender purses of
their school teacher sister and father,
Wrights secretly began experiments
with "gilders" in 1910, first for pleas
ure and later in realization Of their
practical utility. The present wright
biplane" is the result.
Public flights in 1905 at Manteo, N.
c., brought the inventors public
plaudits and financial assistance from
Charles r. Flint, an exporter. In
1908 Wilbur Wright astounded the
world by flights in France while Or
vile Wright was equally as success
ful in Washington.
Germany and France once refused
to buy the Wright patents, declaring
their biplanes were fit only for aero
bats.
The inventors planned to sell their
secrets to the government, believing
the acroplane would rcvolutionize war
fare, but later exploited the business
commercially and abandoned personal
flights.

Alexandria has always pail due
respect to Decoration Day. The Nat

ing reconstruction days, when The
bDod Of those who wore the bluc and
gray was still warm, the ex-feccral

nual custom of decorating the graves
of those who fell in defence of
the union. At times the local Mill
tary company has fred salutes at the
close of the exercises, while the men,
bers of the camps of Confederate

The enclosure always presents b
charming appearance, and at this seas

resurrection period, there is no more
inviting place than this reservation.
The Potomac was alive with motor
boats this morning. Most of them
from Washington. They carried pri-
vate excursion parties to different
points on the river. The steamer St.
Johns was crowded with passengers
for Cononial Beach. A number of AL

be broken. The field of starters was
fourteen smaller and the quality of
the cars was believed to be higher.
