The nine representing the local typo
graphical union in the annual base ball
tourney at Pittsburgh is making a
good record. The team has won every
contest in which it has figured, and
now appears to stand an even chance
for the championship. There are seven
teams entered, and three of them have
already been defeated by the Washing
ton aggregation.
The local printers won the first game
by a score of Z to 0. The defeat was
handed to the typos from st. Paul
Then Indianapolis was met and that
was won by forfeit, Indianapolis fail
ing to put a full team on the field.
Yesterday another contest was played,
which was won from Pittsburgh by 10
to T.
There is no doubt that the Washing
ton players have a chance to win the
championship of the country from
the teams representing the several
typographical unions. Only three teams
are now left in the running, Washing
ton, Boston and Chicago. The real light
will probably come in the game in which
these two latter clubs are met. Both
teams are said to be much stronger than
the others that have lost to the repre-
sentatives of the local union.
1t might be mentioned that three of
the members of the Washington printers
team hold forth in the composing room
of The Star, and all have proved them
selves about the most capable in the line
up, Roberts, first base; Elicit, second
base and Suess, catcher, are the players
referred to. All three OF these men have
done mighty good work in the series now
being played, as well as having been
the malnstays of the club In the Central
League race here earlier in the season.
Out Of six times at bat Roberts got four
hits in yesterdays game, and he also
had nine putOuts and no errors. Elicit
was up six times and got three hits, and
Suess got two hits out Of four trips to
the plate. One of SueSs' safeties was a
three-bagger.
1t would be mighty fine thing if the
Washington typos could win the cham
pionship of the country this year. There
are eleven of the largest cities represent
ed in the series, and 1t would be an ac-
complishment of which the local men
could well feel proud.
The title was won by Boston in 1912.
There seems little doubt about the in
tercity series between Washington and
Richmond being concluded September 20
1t is impossible for the teams to get
away from the bank on any day except
Saturday, and that is the first date
available. In order not to break the
agreement between the two cities it is
necessary to play a double-header in
Richmond, which could not be done on
any day except Saturday.
The local boys are put to a great deal
Of Inconvenience by having to wait that
long to complete the series, and may
not be as capable in those games as
they otherwise would Such long lay
off will undoubtedly impair the chances
of the team to certain extent. Games
will be arranged next week, though, and
the week after in order to keep in con-
dition.

Holidays for Woman Clerks.
To the Editor Of The Star:


As your paper seems ever to champion
those measures for the good Of the peo-
pie, I would like to respectfully suggest
through its columns, in the discussion of
the halliday holiday on Saturday after
Moons for government clerks for five
months in the year Cor all the year round
if it could be granted), that where all
clerks could not be spared from their
desks on those days, due to stress of
public business, women be given the pref
erence in the half day off. especially
those of small salaries. who have many
little domestic duties that the high-priced
clerk is able to pay to have done, and a
half day on Saturday is Godsend to such
a woman of small means.
l don't believe men as rule need the
half day on Saturday as much as wom-
en-, and the many excellent men of our
government have always seemed willing
to help the weaker sex when they could
consistently do so.
Many of the women employed I'm the
government service are mothers, widows
and daughters of the soldiers who fought
for our flag and efficient and patriotic

Harry Hawk Not Living.
To the Editor Of The Star:

rect error of my own before some

that MIR. Harry Hawk of the cast of Our
American Cousin the night President
Lincoln was ASA ssinated was still alive.
This statement was made on the author
ity of "a member of the theatrical pro-
fession who said he had seen him some
time before. ! today received letter
from that gentlemen, who is in the West
Indies, in which he says that he was
mistaken: that he has been reliably in
formed that Mr.. Hawk died some time
ago. Therefore the only survivors of
that memorable cast are Mr.. E A. Elmer
