ToDAY's LINEUP.

The Washington club. of the United
States League, will open its exhibition
series with the strong Reina Mercedes
team, of Annapolis, here this afternoon
at United States League Park, the con-
test being scheduled for O'Clock. This
game should give the fans good line on
the Bandits, as Manager Carsey will
work his first-string men in the game
The Sailors from Annapolis have one
of the strongest service teams in The
country, having beaten some of the best
sailor and soldier aggregations in the
East. In the contest this afternoon,
Lefty Wilson will toe the slab for the
visitors, and with Mellon behind the bar,
the Bandits will have to hustle to win.
On the other hand. Manager Carsey will
send old reliable Chilly Jones to the
mound. Jones made good reputation
last season in the amateur ranks, and
should prove a stumbling block to the
heavy-hitting Sailors.
Manager Carsey plans to play exhibi-
ton games three times a week from now
on, and by the time the opening game
rolls around on May 10, the Bandits
should be in good shape to get off to
flying start
Previous to the big game, two local
clubs will play a curtain raiser This con-
test will be started at 1870 o'clock, with
the EX-Giants as the home team.

MATHEWSON ALWAYS
STINGY WITH PASSES
big SKIS" Record for Fourteen Cam
paigns Shows He Has the
Best Control.

New York. April 1s-If Hugh Chalmers
were to offer a motor car to the National
League pitcher having the best control.
Chris:y Mathewson, of the Giants, I'M
doubtedly would be the individual who
would receive the machine.
What wonderful command big Six
has is shown by the records. Matty now
is entering on his fourteenth campaign
i'm the parent organization and in four
seasons-190S 1909, 1911. and 1912-his aver
age of passes has been less than one to
the game The year he exhibited the
most perfect control was 1905 when, al
most unaided, he nearly pitched the New
Workers to a pennant, ana would have
done so but for a certain incident which
is~~Row historical
During thas pennant pursuit McGraw' 8
master mechanic labored in fifty-six
engagements end countersigned only
forty-two compiimentaries. an average
of 075 to the combat. Matty was al
most as accurate\ last year, when he
handed out thirtyA'ou free tickets to
first in forty-three \skirmishes. In 1911
he averaged 0.Si sratuities to the game,
and in 1909 0.97. Matty was widest when
he made his start in 1900, He took part
in portions of six games, that season,
riddng his system of TWENTY-FIVE passes
The National League batters have been
able to work Matty for only 775 compli-
mentaries in the SIS championship games
he has twirled, which means that he
has issued only one and one-half free
tickets for every contest in which he
has taken part. big Six also has been
stingy in the matter OF transportation
i'm contests for baseballs blue ribbon.
The White Elephants got only one pass
from him in three games in 1906. and but
three gifts in the same number of games
six years later.

CRAWFORD HAS LOST
HIS HITTING FIELD
Sam Only Bats ZOO on His Favorite
Singing Lot in Cleveland
This Season.

Cleveland. April 1s.-There were years
and years when people said that Sam
Crawford's smuggling averages were COM
piled chiefly on his performances here
in Cleveland. On the old lot Crawford
mauled Nap pitchers to his hearts con-
tent. When the bleachers were moved
on the old park 1t was said that the
chief cause was to prevent Crawford
from slamming the Tigers to victory
over the Maps.
In the first Tiger-Nap series in Cleve-
land this year Crawford did not punch
as often or as hard as he used to. In
the three games the barber from Wahoo
was at bat ten times and got two hits,
an average of 200. He singled to right
in the ninth inning of Tuesdays game
and doubled to right in the seventh
inning of Wednesdays game.
Ty Cobb, who for years was unable
to hit 200 on Cleveland soil. has still
to be heard from.

BECOMES HYSTERICAL.
After Swinging Club for 1O7 Hours,
Burrows Attacks Attendant.

London, April 1a-After swinging In
dian clubs continuously for 10i hours in
an effort to establish a long-distance
record, Tom Burrows, the famous Aus
tralian all-around athlete. became hys-
terical at Aldershot today and attacked
his attendants with his clubs.
Burrows originally set out to swing
clubs 100 hours withouy rest. but wher
he reached that mark he learned of an
old unauthenticated record of liz hours
and determined to beat that time. Bur-
rows went on merely swinging his clubs,
making eighty revolutions to the minute.
Early today he complained of feeling
sleepy. and induced the band to play
to wake him up
A few hours later the long strain over
came him and he lost control Of himself.
With yell he darted at his attendants,
who fed in every direction. Burrows
then sank down exhausted on the floor
and went sound asleep. He could not be
aroused and was put to bed.

Of the Maps pitching department, red

Italy took similar action, but without expressing any threat, and Russia, the friend of Montenegro, ad- vised the Montenegrin government to accede to Austria's demand.

of life and sereve property damage was caused by a tornado which wiped out the southern part of Terre Haute at ten o'clock tonight
 At twelve o'clock seven bodies had been recovered. Scores were in jured and property damage will reach into the hundreds of thousands of dol lars. Terre Haute has a population of 5s,157.
 All wires were blown down in the district affected. This prevented rescue work, although every available fireman and policeman was rushed to the stricken district.
 It is expected the death list will be more than a dozen.
 With no warning the terrific gale swept down upon the district. Parts were fiattened. The end of the foundry room of the Garland factory, a solid brick wall IS inches thick, was caved in. Brick and stone structures suffer ed alike. Lightning set fire to many houses. Men, women and children were crushed to death in bed. Some escaped to the cellars. Whole structures were blown away by the force of the windh. The mained were rushed to hospitals as fast as they were extricated.
 Difficulty was experienced in obtain ing doctors and the fremen were un- able to cope with the flames which swept the district. The heavy down. pour of rain is all that prevented scores of injured from being burned in the debris of their homes.
