Soon after Gandil had scored the
winning run, Shanks took a long lead
off third as Mcbride dashed for second.
The entire Brownie infield gathered on
the line between third and the plate,
and every one of them got into the kill
ing of the Monaco Marvel Lavan finally
touching him close to the third corner.
Boehlfng's inability 20 elude the
Brownie jinx marks the third time a
Washington club has failed in two
years Last year Walter Johns IN had
won sixteen straight being tied with
Joe Wood Then one day he went to
the relief of Tom Hughes, and Pete
Compton whaled a bingle, driving Cver
a couple of tallies. Ban Brut johnson
ruled the defeat Johnsons and not
Hughes. and the Big Scythe's winning
streak had ended.
, This spring Walter johnson had rolled
along victoriously. holding every oppo-
nert runless FOR more than fifty innings.
Finally he came out here beside the
muddy Mississippi. Yes, ne did break
the record held by Jack Coombs, tut
those Internal Brownies broke his con-
tinuous streak of whitewash frames by
scoring a couple of runs. keeping the
mark at ffty-six sessions.
Therefore. Joe Boehling's failure to
equal the seasons record OF ten straight
victories. now held by Walter johnson
and Cy Falkenberg in this league and
Grover Cleveland Alexander In the Ma
uonal League, is not surprising The
Brownies delight in shatterfng the hopes
OF other fellows. They can't even get
into the first division themselves, bur
the yhavc lots of fun tripping Up the
boys who are there.
That was about the easiest game /
ever won said Tomasso Hughes to-
day. Il pitched to three men and then

Bert Gallfa, the Texas Terror went to
the relief of Boehling in the eighth, and
started right in with a pass to Lavan,
the poorest hitter In big league cap
uvtty. That was enough for the Old
Fox. who yanked him instanter and
sent Tom Hughes to the mound, Walter
Johnson going out to the bull pen as
soon as II was seen that the Climbers
had chance TO cop the glories. The
Big Scythe finished the game. Gallia

his class, but he is yet a long way from

Evans misses very few balls and

HE JUMPS
BRIDGE WRECK

COATESVILLE, Pa. March 29.-
Throwing his throttle wide open and
breaking loose from a disabled pile
driver car attached to a bagga &c car,
the engineer of a special relief train
that left the Long Island City North
Shore yards at 10 a. m via the Penn
sylvania Railroad bound for Ohio,
averted disastrous wreck on the high
bridge that spans Brandywine Creek
at 4 o'clock.
Speeding just as the train struck
the east side of the bridge, two aXles
on the pile-driver broke and the
trucks left the rails, running along
the ties. Back of this were two bag
gage and three passenger coaches. oc-
cupied by a number of persons
AS soon as the engineer cut loose
between the pile-driver and a baggage
car, the latter being attached to the
engine, he shot across TO the west
side Of the bridge. and the instant
the disconnection was made the air
went off and the train behind came
TO a standstill.
Had he not accomplished this Won
derwul feat. the whole train would
have been dashed off the bridge, more
than 200 feet Some Of the occupants
were severely shaken up, but no one
was injured

The long-drawn-out trial of the pro-

The short session yesterday was de-
voted largely to the cross-examina-

who has been examining the books
of the concern. He testified that the
books showed no fund in reserve from
which money paid in by stockholders
