the stumps. the game would have been
called a draw"

v. {. {. {. PLANS TO
REORGAN|zE SOON
G. w. Holland Is Back of the
Movement to Interest Old
Members.

Plans for the reorganization of the
Washington c. c. c. will be taken up
in the near future according to G. W.
Holland, ole Of the charter members of
the old club who is vitality interested in
getting the organization again on its
feet
At a meeting held during the past
week some eight or nine former MEM
bers of the Washington c. c. c. got
together and talked matters over with
the result that il was planned to have
another meeting and get up as much
lively interest as possible.
1t is thought that a social feature
will be added. and that non-athletic
members will be welcomed TO help sup
port the organization. Holland and SEQ
field, who formed the Washington c. c.
c. several years ago, are anxious to see
the club in operation again, and have
the support of many of the athletes of
the city.
The Memorial A. c. men and several
members of other clubs are said to be
in favor of the reorganization. and it is
expected that during the winter the
Washington c. c. c. will again flourish
in track meets.

Yanks Are Victors
In Twelve Innings

CHICAGO. Aug. B.-Twelve innings
were required for the Yankees to as
sert their superiority over the Chicago
White SoX by a score of 3 to ?. The
score was tied in the fourth inning by
Chicago and for seven innings neither
team sent a man across the plate.
Weaver fumbled Hartzell's grounder
in the twelfth. This was followed by
Peckinpaugh's single, HartzeIl scoring.
For the most part the entire battle
centered around the pitchers each Civ
ing a fne exhibition OF skill In the

sprained ankle according to wire and

fore September 20. Meanwhile. Ritchie
will lick few near scrappers in getting

Cannot be done.

The Athletics will win the American
League pennant despite what efforts
the Maps put forth in their coming bat
ties. The Mackmen have but forty
five more battles to play. and OF these
but twenty-six or so must be won.
Granting 100 games will win the title,
1t is lot hard to determine Just what
the Athletics must do to win. Slumpnig
along at a second-division pace will
win the title. In the worlds series-but
that's another matter.

Standing of the Clubs.
By BRYAN MORSE.

With the winners of two sections
practically determined, the post-season
series will be strung out during the
week, the games running on until Ninth
and the Bankers get a chance at each
other in the final for the city title and
the right to get action against the Rich
mond winner
Ninth now leads the B section with a
clean record, four straight games hav-
ing been annexed from the other three
teams in the section. Admittedly supe-
rior to the other teams, Ninth is looked
upon as sure winner in the remaining
contests in the section.
The Bankers are no less a hot favorite
for the honors in Section A. After losing
the first game to the Interior team,
which in turn was trounced by the
C-pital City League winners on Satur-
day, the American Security and Trust
team is being boosted for the Section A
honors.
1t looks as though the two teams
would hook up in the finals, as none of
the other teams in the two sections
have much chance to oust the leaders
The schedule for the week follows:
Today-Trinity VS.. Petworth; Mohawk
VS.. Emmanuel
August l9-Petworth VS.. Bankers: I'm
manuel VS.. Ninth.
August 20-Trinity VS. Bankers; Mo-
hawk VS.. Ninth.
August 2I-Petworth vs. Interior; I'm
manuel VS.. Sherwood
August 22-Trinity VS.. Interior; Mo-
hawk VS.. Sherwood.
The card for the week offers several
good contests notably those between
Petworth and the Bankers, the I'm
manuel-Ninth contest, and that carded
between Petworth and Interior. Today
Trinity and PetwOrth playing at George
town Field, should draw we'll although
the showing of the Trinity club in the
game Saturday was not OF the best
Petworth has shown good form in all
of its contests and is calculated to dis
play even better baseball than il has
in the games played. The surprise Of
the series, however was the game be-
tween Emmanuel and Ninth. The East
Washington Sunday School champions
were looking for cinCh, and thinking
the game sewed up before 1t started
had hard time in getting away with a
win.

the number is one which came only to.

AS another qualification, the writer,
who is working at Pennsylvania blast
furnace, says he has read all the de-
tective stories that have ever been
written.
Other applications which Mr.. Mac
Veagh's successor may read and pom
der IL he cares to are from cowboys,
floor walkers of department stores,
physicians, travelling men, structural
iron workers, painters. plasterers, mu-
nicipal policemen, and detectives-there
are many of these-a few lawyers, a
score of laborers, a few clergymen, and
a host of men engaged in clerical work
The law requires that the Civil Service
annually advertise that examinations
will be held for the eligibility list for the
Secret Service. AS soon as these ad-
vertisements are inserted. the Treasury

NEW CHIEF NEARLY
STRANGER IN CITY
Only Former Visit Was on
Occasion of dwelling Of
Witherspoon Statue.

President Wilson and Vice President
Marshall until today had beep identi-
fled with public places in Washington
On only one previous occasion.
President Wilson spoke at the unveii-
Ing of the Witherspoon statue, near the
Church of the Covenant, and Vice Pres
ident Marshall once taught Justice
Itarlan's Sunday school class at the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
This Inauguration has a decidedly
Presbyterian atmosphere, as both the
President and Vice President are strong
members of the Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Marshall, perhaps more than Mr..
Wilson, has taken an active leadership
in church work. although Mr.. Wilson
is constant attendant at services.
President Wilson is practically as
much of a stranger in Washington, as
the majority of the visitors mere today.
He has been studying a map OF the
city with a view TO getting acquainted
with the location of streets and public
buildings. He had a glimpse of Wasn-
ington while going through here en-
route to Staunton, Va, on the occasion
of his birthday celebration, but aside
from that has not had close look at
the Capital for several years.

STAMPS ANDLETTERS
FORM HEAVY ITEM
Work of Preparing for Inaugu-
raj Includes Many Expenses
Not in View of Public.

The work of getting ready for an
inauguration involves, among other
expenses. the cost of about 100, ,00O
stamps. The press committee alone
has used 500 sheets of paper daily
for the past month, as well as SOC
stamps daily. Then there have been
two or three letters for each sub
committeeman, and hundreds of let
ters to outside organizations.
The press committee work this year
has been in charge of Carl Goodwin
and John l. Martin. For a couple of
metropolitan dailies accepted this
press service. The country" papers
had II daily.
Then war broke out between the
Capitol correspondents and the inau-
gural committee, SO the press work,
was concerned, decreased. The Cap
itol writers, angered by what they
considered unfair treatment at the
hands of the inaugural committee,
started a campaign of stories to dis
credit the efforts of the committee
outsiders by tales of holdups and
gougingS.
The answer of their warfare is seen
today in the enormous throngs land
ing here for inaugural week. The at
Sraction of Democratic Inaugural
ton, after years of political starva-
tion, drew the largest crowd in WASH
ington's history.
Chairman NJ. I. Weller, of the public
comfort committee, effectually coun-
tered the criticism of high prices by
providing hundreds of accomm oda-
tionS at low figures. Washington well
comes its inaugural week guests, and
is not seeking TO make prey of
them. .-
Any increased prices in the city
this week result only from the oper-
alton of the laws of supply and de-
mand.
The Washington times., 1913-03-04

the special session is to be one of the
first acts of the new President, prob
ably within few DAYS.
Appointment of the Cabinet was to be
the opening gun of the patronage ilght.
Am mbassadors, ministers, consuls, Fed
eral judges, prosecuting officers. thou
sands of postmasters, and an army of
lesser Federal officeholders is the task
awaiting early action.
Platform pledges galore await fulfill
ment by the Democrats. These Include
such knotty problems as Philippine in
dependence, Porto Rican citizenship
amendment or strengthening the Sher-
man antitrust law, single Presiden-
tial term, and labor legislation.
"Legacies" innumerable were left to
the new Executive by former President
Taft. These include the Panama tolls
controversy. the Mexican trouble and
many measures which died" in Con-
gress when the Sixty-second session
ended today.
Bills Awaiting Action.
Among the bills and policies awaiting
action by the new Administration and
Congress are:
Senator Works resolution for a con-
stitutional amendment limiting tenure
Of President to one term of six years.
Limited independence for the Fill
pinos.
Representative clayton's anti-injunc-
Creation of the new Department of
Labor.
The "seamen's labor" bill.
The Page educational and vocational
bill.
Conservation OF water power and
beauty of Niagara Falls.
Direct election of Presidents and
Senators.
. Regulating of campaign contributions.
Maintenance of the Commerce Court
mission.
Money trust" regulation and inves-
tigation.
Workman's compensation.
Repeal of the Canadian reciprocity
treaty.
Conservation of forests and water
power.
Physical valuation of railroads.
Prohibition in Hawaii.
Shipping trust" investigation ana
regulation.
Senator owens bill for direct election
OF Federal judges.
Senator Bristow's bill for a national

Establishment of a national public
health service.
Opening of Alaska.
Eight-hour day for women in the Dis
trict of Columbia
Recodification of patent laws.
Limited woman'S suffrage.
Reorganization of militia
Creation of a national council of de-
fense.
Reorganization of the customs and
revenue service.
Increase of pensions
Other Problems to Solve.
In addition 20 these problems. the
opening of the Panama canal and es-
tablishment of a civil government on
the Isthmian zone faces the new Pres
ident
Scores of unfinished trust prosecu-
tons. begun by Attorney General
Wickersham, also await the new Ad-
ministration's action. Many important
cases must also be presented to the
Supreme Court by the new executive
heads which were instituted during re-
cent years.
Administration and extension OF the
parcel post is another important prob
lem. Appropriations for the navy, army,
good roads, the San Francisco eXposi-
ton and economy in expenditures gen.
orally furnish even more huge tasks.
Organization of the Sixty-third Con-
Sress augurs difficulty for the new
party in power An extremely small
majority in the Senate and an over
whelming majority in the House, with
disputes over important committee
chairmanships, present delicate par
tisan situation
