B|RM|NGHAM'S LUCK
MAY HELP maps
Joe Has Been Fortunate in His
Day, So Watch the CIeve-
land Team.

CLEVELAND, Feb. lit would be
Just like Joe Birminsham's luck to land
the Maps right up in the 1913 race.
Baseball is full of lucky breaks. Ask
a ballplayer where a certain team will
finish, and after naming. first, second,
or third places. according to his opinion.
he'll add 'if the team gets the lucky
breaks" a- i..
Birmingham has always had his share
OF lucky breaks.
His name figures in some Of the
greatest feats of the Maps since he
Joined the team.
, Birmy scored the only run In Addie
Joss no-hit game october ., 1905,
against the White Sox. Ed Walsh
struck out fifteen Maps that day and
allowed only four hits. Joe got one of
the four. He was caught OF first base,
but Frank Isbell dropped the ball
Birmy dashed for second. and would
have been retired had Isbell made true
throw. Isbell hit Joe on the head the
ball rolled to the outfield, Joe going to
third, and on a wild pitch he scored.
Earlier that season one Of Birmins-
hams great throws, his teammates say
the greatest one he ever made, cut on
a run in a tight game with the White
Joe hit only .2l3 In 1908. but he came
through at the right time.
Ed Walsh has always been one OF the
hardest pitchers for the Maps to beat.
as he Is for all the clubs. Birmingham
has always batted well against Walsh.
and has been the hitting hero of several
great battles with big Ed.
Birmingham has been conspicuous In
almost every winning streak.
In 1911 he batted .30i while the Maps
were climbing from sixth to third
place.
He became manager of the Maps last
Lobor Day. and the team won twenty
one out OF twenty eight games under his
leadership.

The game which was scheduled for
tonight with Washington and Lee in
Lexington was called of by the
Georgetown management.
After the balance had swayed back

in Virginia's favor and not SO pleas

tor as that of the opening session.
When time was called for termination
Of the game. Virginia had proven her
self the better through better play in
this half.
Eoth teams appeared we'll drilled and
team work was in evidence during the
greater part of the play, though pass
Ing was bad by both quints at times
Virginia's principal fault was the in
ability to take advantage of the many
free tosses which We're offered On
FOULS. Georgetown was better in this
respect. Many fouls. both personal
and technical were called on the play
ers, the former kind being in unusual
numbers. Guarding by both teams
was Of high order.

EDDIE WHITING IS
STAR Of THE GAME
Cages Four Goals by Himself
When Washington Wins
From Baltimore AII.Stars.

Before the wonderful rushing of Eddie
Whiting. the Baltimore All-Stars faded
away last night at the Arcade, 5 to 0.
This demon poloist showed four goals
into the tally sheet all of his lonesome,
and was by far the best man on the
floor. Baltimore never had a chance.
and the large crowd wen tinto ecstasies

STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

NEW YORK-Police Commissioner Waldo is considering a plan for im- proving the identification methods of the police department, which was re- gently suggested to him in letter The writer suggested to abandon the present method of taking front and side views Of the features of crooks and other criminals for the rogues gallery record and to install mov- ing picture camera for the purpose of obtaining a more complete picture record showing not only the features but also peculiarities cf expression and motion of the criminals. It is believed that five feet of film. cost ing about 70 cents, would suffice for each lawbreaker. Some of the police officials are favorably impressed with the plan and it is quite possible that it will be given trial

INSURANCE BILL IS

kehoe Measure is Beaten in Higher
 House in California.
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHl

SACRAMENTO, April 22.-The Ke- hoe fire insurance bill designed to re- quire all insurance companies to file rating schedules with the state insur- ance commissioner who should have authority to prevent deviatiOnS from the published rates, was defeated in the senate after prolonged debate to- day. A bitter fight against this meas ure has been made by the insurance companies, agents and by the board of fire underwriters. They charged that such a law would give the commission CT full power to make the rates and would amount virtually to confisca- tion.

Important Yuma and San Carlos
 Bridge Item Again Pass National House.

Representative Carl Hayden, who sits in congress for Arizona, has been working hard of late in behalf of the appropriations for the relief of the Indian tribes in the state, their inn provement. and the reclamation work in the state. During the late session of congress he succeeded in getting into the appropriations bill a provi- sion for payment of s25.0O0 for a bridge across the Colorado at Yuma the other two- thirds of the cost $15.0O0, to be paid by the states of California and Arizona.
 He succeeded also in getting an ap- propriation for a bridge across the Gila river in the neighborhood of Sar Carlos, and for the continued inves. tigation of the proposed San Carlos project by the army engineers. These portions of the bill. in common with the bill itself died with the end o the last session However nothins daunted, MT. Hayden set to worl again and yesterday Governor Hunt received from him the following tele. gram:

 The militant and also the merely obtrusive suffragettes never overlook opportunity to make propaganda for their cause and mere man finds it al- most impossible to escape the annoy ance of suffrage speeches and de- monstrations sandwiched into the atrical and even charitable entertain ments. The other day there was an entertainment for the benefit of the Volunteer Fresh Air Fund and French Day Nursery and the Century theater was packed One of the numbers on the program was a suffrage address by Mrs. James Lee Laidlaw. When the time for her address arrived, near ly all unattached or only scmi-at- tached men in the audience rose, as if upon preconcerted signal, and marched out of the theater, while the suffragettes hissed and in other ways showed their diSpeaSure. The men did not return until after Mrs. Laid law had finished her harangue.

ed, but his appeal for work remained unanswered It is true, several jobs were offered to Graves, but owing to their nature he could not accept them in his crippled condition. One of the Y. M. c. A branches offered him a position as errand boy for $S a week, which seems almost like mighty poor joke in view of the fact that it was calmly stated in the newspapers at the time that Graves found it diff ficult to move about even with the aid of crutches.
 Shyiock would have appreciated the qr,andry in which Samuel Cohen. a tailor in Brooklyn found himself the other day Cohen had done some work for another tailor, Louis Druck- CT and when the latter failed to pay him the S15 which he had agreed to pay for the work, Cohen sued him and obtained a judgment for the amount Drucker was put in jail and would probably have remained there for fifteen days had it not been for his wife, Mrs. Drucker, accompanied by her eight children, invaded MT. Cohen's house and having informed him that, as he had deprived her of her husband, he might as well deprive her Of her children also, she departed leaving the bowling eight children with Cohen and his wife. One day Cohen endured the visitation. then he decided to give up the fight Not only did he. abandon his claim for the $15 against Drucker. but he glad ly paid the costs and charges amount ing to more than $5 to get Drucker

 Relative to the next session of the it is rumored that Prescott will ask for it hut as yet none of the delegates have given this out officially. Again it is stated that because of the fact that they are just completing lodge hall there Prescott does not want the convention until two years from the present time. It is generally conceded that Phoenix will get the next year session. providing Prescott does not ask for it.
 There will likely be adjourned meetings of the Grand Lodge and the Rebekah Assembly held Wednesday afternoon. This will be the last ses- sion of the year.
 At four o'clock Wednesday after noon the Tempe town baseball club and the United States Indian school nine of Phoenix will fight for honors on the new ball park here as part of the covention program.
 In the evening, weather conditions permitting. all delegates and officers will assemble on the Normal quad rangle at eight o'clock for an hours social time. The lawn. and buildings surrounding will be lighted.
 At nine o'clock all will retire to the Normal dining room, where a gorgeou banquet prepared by the Tempe orders will be served. This will conclude the greatest lodge con yention ever held in Tempe.

 In the meantime the burglars and other crooks gathered in this city in

 their profession unconcernedly and with remarkable success. Almost daily
 some of the elegant residences in the
