ANACOST|ANS WIN
BASEBALL CONTEST
"0Idest Recruits Of Suburb
and st. EIizabeth's Play Old
Fashioned Game.

After an absence Of twenty years from
the diamond, baseball players constitu-
ting two teams, representing Anacostia
and the Government Hospital for the
Insane, gave an exhibition of the game
as II was played in their youth yester-
day evening on the ball field at the
Government Hospital.
When II was all over Anacostia had
won fierce batting contest py the
score of % TO Is. the patients and em-
ployes OF St Elizabeth's had been pro-
vided with two hours and more of sport
that carried them to climaxes OF hilar-
ity, and a lot of tired men limped off
the grounds to rest. 1t was the boast
Of most of the players on each side that
they had not faced curve pitching nor
caught a ball in a good many years.
The Anacostla players, captained by
William Williamson, who named his
cordial greeting from the big crowd
when they arrived, and throughout the
game both sides were cheered impair
TALLY. Hiding the ball and then pulling
1t from its place OF concealment and
astonishing the baserunner by touching
him while he was off the base proved a
favorite and effective play.
When Frank Emo, of the AnacosSia
team, became the victim OF such
superintendent OF the institution, the
crowd enjoyed the proceeding hugely.
Player Emo turned the tables a little
while later when he drove the ball over
the fielders' heads with three Anacostia
men on the bases and scored them all,
while he drew up at third base This
brilliant clout won the game for the
Anacostians, as it put them in the lead,
and they were not headed afterward.
Only rapid fielding kept Player Emo
from making a home run at the critical
juncture
St. -Elizabett's "Oldest Recruits were
captained by A. E. Offutt. Substitutions
were many, and 1t was sometimes Diff
ficult to keep track of the players and
their positions. st, EliZabeth's had an
early lead, but could not maintain it.
The Anacostia lineup included Eu-
gene Ball, Dr. L. S. Howser, Thomas J.
Leonard, William Williamson, Frank
Emo, George W. Hanes, Harry Perkins,
James W. Marbury. and Harry Kelly.

was \. Z. Onfutt, Harry Ermold. DR..

BRYAN EXPLAINS
NEED OF MONEY
Secretary Of State Tells Why
He Can't Live on His Salary
of $4,000.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug. 17.-wnliam ],
Bryan in a signed statement, made
public through the Monthly Commoner.
says II is not a question of whether a
Cabinet officer can live on $1,000 a
year. but rather one of whether he can
subsist on that sum-a matter purely
personal
In part. his statement follows:
when I announced that l found II
necessary to supplement my official in
come and that would turn to the lee
ture platform as the most natural, as
we'll as an entirely legitimate. means
of earning what additional income
needed. the question was at once asked
Why is Bryan unable to live upon a
salary Of $4,000 a year.
1T ought to have occurred to any one
who was attempted to ask the question
that the question is not whether a Cab
met officer could live on $1,000 a year
II he had nothing to consider except
the expenses attendant upon living in
Washington, but whether he could add
the expense of official life to his other
expenses and meet them all out of his
salary.
Every man who has reached a post
where he is likely to be appointed to a
nigh office has assumed obligations
which cannot be suspended when he
enters office. My obligations to church,
charity, education, and for my insur-
ance cannot be discontinued. They
amount to more than $500 per year,
and these. though the largest. are by
no means all and will absorb more than
half the salary which 1 receive.
"A mans expenditures grow with his
income My income, due largely to the
fact of my political prominence, has
been considerable, and as II has grown
my expenses, also due largely to po-
litical prominence. have grown. But
have been able to meet them and tC
lay aside some money each year for
the last seventeen years. / have
planned to foregO for the next -four
years any additions to my accumula-
tons. and / do not regard 1t as sacri-
fice to do so.
Il so much appreciate the opportunity
that the President has given me tO
join him in the service that he Is rem
dering to the country that l would
gladly hold the position which I now
occupy even If to do so II were neces-
sary to use a part of the money laid
aside as a protection against old age"
