Pirates Surprise Giants.

PITTSBURGH. June 21.-Pittsburgh
hit three New York pitchers at the right
time yesterday and the loose fielding Of
the visitors enabled them to win easily
to 3.
OToole pitched splendid ball, and errors
behind him figured in the scoring of all
three New York runs.
1t was a scrappy battle. with Umpire
Hank ODay between two fires. Myers
kicked so hard on balls and strikes in tho
fifth that O'Day ordered him out Of the
game. Wood and Coleman, two Pitts
burgh recruits, who are filling in for Grip
pied absentees, starred with the bat.
Each scored two runs and had three
hits.
Tesreau seemed to suffer from the in

innings.

The 4O0-mile race of the Washington
Racing Pigeon Club was flown from
Deshler, Ohio. Owing to liberation

there were no arrivals on the day OF
liberation. The first bird to report was

were later reported the second day by
j. G. Buscall.

l,ets of pigeons to Nappanee. Ind,
Thursday evening for liberation to-
day if the weather is favorable. Nap
panee is but eighty miles air line from
Chicago, and the Washington pigeons
have on several occasions distinguished
themselves from this point. The first
time the birds were tossed there the
first arrival was in less than twelve
hours, and unless unfavora BILE Gather
conditions are encountered it is eX

HIT FOR
BIG CRICKET SCORES
BardsIey Not Out for ITO in
Game With Philadelphia
Eleven.

PHILADELPHIA. June 21.-The Aus
tral1an cricketers leo the Philadelphia
team last night by the score of sos to
ia, and seven wickets of the men
from the antipodes are still to fall
The batting of the visitors was the
feature of the day. Bardsley has made
ITO runs and is not out. while Cody
came within three of the century mark
hitting for 81. Crawford. who also car
ried his bat with Bardsley, has made
a. and was well set at the close OF
play.
Such batting was never seen here be-
fore. But the bowling was not of the
best, and that accounts in great
measure for the Australians hitting.
The Philadelphians are minus the serv-
ices of J. Barton King, their star all
round player, and they miss him sore
ly.
In batting the Philadelphians did
little. G.. c. Morris and W. Graham
who each had 20, were the best scorers
of the local eleven. Considering the
caliber of the All-Philadelphia eleven
the low total they made yesterday
presages an easy victory for the
visitors.
The only real feature to the latter
part of the days play was the dis
missal of G. G. Mccartney one of the
best Of the visiting batsmen. before he
had scored a single run. 1t was a great
triumph for young Waad. who tempted
Mccartney with a slow teaser.
Bob Anderson. by sidelong leap, got
his hands on the ball and hung on to
1T. 1t was beautiful catch, almost
as good as Emery's fine capture of a
liner off c. c. Morris bat earlier in
the match.

WILSON PROVES HIS
LOBBYING POINT
Representative Lands Ad-
mits He Has Tried to In
fluence Legislation.
TRUSTS INTERESTED
Former Senator Faulkner Saws He
Has Reen Representing Rail-
roads For Years.

Washington, June Ex-senator Reed
today grilled out of former Represen
tative Charles B. Lands, Of Indiana, a
reluctant admission that he had come
here at least a hundred times since he
left Congress not four years ago to
try to influence legislation for pay.
He said he was sent here by the
Powder Trust and incidentally con-
tracted an alliance with the Merchants
Marine League for the purpose of OBJ
tanning subsidiaries. When not but
ton-holing members Of Congress and
government officials in behalf of the
Powder Trust he was lecturing chief
ly through the west in behalf of the
Ship Subsidy Bill. He said the Ma
rine League of Cleveland paid him one
salary and the Dupont Powder Com
pany another.
Former United States Senator Falk-
ner, Of West Virginia, admitted that
since he left the senate about four
teen years ago he had maintained an
office here as the Representatives of
every railroad in the country. He ap-
parently convinced the committee that
he had done nothing reprehensible. He
dramatically denied that he abused
his floor privilege by lobbying in the
senate. Senator Nelson and Senator
Reed declared they had not seen him
there in recent years.
Mr.. Faulkner said he left the senate
in 1899, that since he had acted here
as the sole representative of three
railroad committees, one, the "oper-
ating'' committee, is appointed by the
American Railway Association, with
which all the roads in the country are
affiliated. He is also member of the
"advisory' committee, representing %
roads.
Former Representative Bennett, of
New York, Kopp, of Wisconsin, and
Hull, of Iowa, all testified that they
represented special interests in Wash
ington.
Former Governor Carter of Hawaii
will take the stand tomorrow morning
and perhaps several other members OF
congress. Lands said he was employ
ed by the Powder Trust because of
his intimate knowledge of South AM
erica, to advance the company's trade
there, that he came here first to try
to keep wood flour, which is used in
making dynamite, on the dutiable list.
When testimony is all in there will
be conference of the attorney gen.
eral and the chairman Of the senate
judiciary committee, the chair c,an of
the house judiciary committee, and the
president to evolve some law that will
curb the activity of lobbying.

rived for he jubilee.
More than 10000 athletes took part
in the games in the Stadium yester-
day. Special trains were run from all
parts of the Empire to carry into
Berlin those who wished to attend the
dedication.
The erection of the Stadium was
planned as far back as 1906. In that
year the German delegation to the
Olympic games at Athens when re-
turning on the Amphitrite made theil
first ,plans There were then pres
ent DR.. Paul Martin, Johannes Null
Ter, Friherr Won Hunefeld and Baron
Tuyland. A few months after their
return they had the ground ~ the
Grunewald tested, and on receiving d
favorable report decided 20 proceed
with the venture.
Plans were drawn up and In 1909
an appeal for funds was made to
every German town having more than
$4,000 inhabitants. The appeal met
with a generous response. Money be-
gan pouring in and draft OF the
scheme and a report on progress was
laid before the Kaiser.
The Kaiser Immediately assured he
committee of his interest and cooper
alton. The work went ahead and so
fast that in 1912 2,250,000 marks, the
entire amount required for the cree
ton of the arena, was in he hands
of the committee. In November, 19l2
the building was begun.
The national interest of the move
ment lies in the training OF the youth
of Germany, so that they may be
ready to protect the Fatherland
when called on.
