NEW YORK. Oct. e.-There
Is no use talking about the
Breaks" in that game today.
The Athletics Just took the old
waliop at the ball and there was
very little inside" stuff or
strategy tried. The Athletics
got the Jump on the Giants and
Kept ahead Of US all the way.
We have played maybe a dozen
games like Il in the past season
and some Of these were against
81. Louis. We Just could not
hit and any club looks bad when
IL cannot hit The two men who
beat US were Bush and eddie"
Collins. Collins has been play

and his great work has been
largely responsible for the two
Athletic victories. Our defeat by
Bush was a great disappointment

first inning when the Athletics
put runs under him before he

Murphy TO begin the game, but
Oldring got a single when he
smashed Il slow ball that Tesreau
fed him. over second base for a
hit. Collins followed him with a
single and OIdring reacher third.
Shafer did not play the ball TO
the bag TO try to stop Oidring.
Baker, the next man singled,
scoring Oldring easily, but COL
Inns was held on second base.
Then followed a daring play and
one which we did not expect az
that stage OF the game. Collins
and Baker attempted the double
steal and got away with II be-

able to reach there In few minutes.
The three men were taking a trip on

Savage suggested that OConnor ex-
change seats with him. It was when
Savage started to make the change
that the canoe careened and over
turned.
O'Connor and Collins, being good
swimmers. told Savage to hold to the
canoe until they could go ashore, re-
move their clothing and return to as
sist him. He could not swim. the
police were told.

SEA NETTLES SWARMlNG
WATERS OF CHESAPEAKE
Arrive Early and In Countless Num-
bers, to the Discomfort
Of Bathers.

Sea nettles have invaded the waters OF
Chesapeake bay and the lower river re-
sorts SO as to make bathing almost impos-
sible. The natives have no explanation
of the sudden increase in the annual crop
of nettles.
Many OF the floating stingers are In the
shallow waters Of the bay and rivers dur
ing August, but this year the invasion has
been much earlier and Is more severe.
The nettles seem mostly to be Of the
common sort, having an opaque center
ard long starfish-like tentacles that are
almost transparent. They can be picked
ND without injury to the picker. but II
thew touch the flesh of a bather they are
about as comfortable as short clrcuiting
live wire. The nettles are ornamental, II
not useful, for at night they are phos-
phorescent.
Hotel keepers and others interested In
bathing at the afflicted resorts nave neen
casting about for means or eliminating
the pest. Many of the resorts have an
Enclosure In the water where most or the
fathers go. The scientists at the smith
oman saw that If the outside OF this IN
riosure is protected by seine or fairy
mall mesh wire netting, the most OF the
nettIes can be SKINNED off the bathing
.nclosure with a dragnet. as the nettles
are mostly surface swimmers.

The Street That Was 18th.

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS resident and property owner on
the Avenue Of the Presidents. would
like to have my say Also On the one
hand. I have yet to learn of one resi-
dent of the avenue who speaks approx
ingly of the new name. 1t seems cum
bersome and pompous. However, the
street Is destined to become more and
more the great show street" OF the
National Capital. and 1t should be given
name that will distinguish it as such:
and if the idea Of placing statues of
the Presidents at intervals along this
chief thoroughfare shall ever be carried
out the name Avenue of the Presidents"
will be eminently app opriate. Personal
ly, my choice would have been White
House avenue A number of our ave-
nues are named for the various states
of the Union. Why not name the chief of
them all Union avenue or "Fede. al
avenue? Any one of these names would
be both convenient and appropriate.
If there is to be any further change
in the name. why not give the residents
and owners Of property on the avenue
an opportunity to express their prefer
ence? w. D. MABRY.

Suggested Site for Lees Statue.

20 the Editor OF The star:
AS an old Virginia ex-Confederate ON
Ger who has for years made Washington
his adopted home, / wish to thank,
through the columns of your valuable pa
per, Mr. Gordon. Mr.. John I. Cole and
Mrs. /. H. Sheppard for the subject mat
ter Of their letters advocating the erection
of a statue of Gen. Lee in one OF the va
can't squares or circles of our city, and
assure them that / am in hearty accord
WITH them and will even suggest an 1nno-
vation and improvement on their plan.
MY suggestion Is that on the highest
point of Meridian Hill Park or on the ex-
IRENE northwest corner of the new high
school lot, 18th and Clifton streets, there
re erected a modest but impressive statue
OF Grant and Lee grasping each others
hand in eternal reconciliation and friend
ship. Such an object lesson would teach
young and old. native and foreign horn
tourists that washington the beautifuI
Is indeed beautiful. not only in lovely
wide streets and airy parks,
but is and ever win be beautiful and lofty
in sentiment that Is more lasting than
.sbrass or marble" OF course, the south
would ask the privilege Of making q hbe-
raj contribution, and will always be FOUND
ready and anxious to protect our national
nonor so illumined by the fame of such
great generals as Grant and Lee.
