Parents of George and Bernard Bur-
roughs, aged ten and twelve years, re-
spectively. who live in southeast WASH

lice have had too many complaints
about broken lamps on the roads and of
other damage of a like kind to permit
the indiscriminate firing of the small
air guns.

He is liable to pitch tight ball, as he
did against Brooklyn. But he is just
as apt to be punctured so full of
dents that he resembles a waffle.

field are carried because EVers never
knows when it is going to be neces-
sary to use five or six men in the box.
Toney worked the full game yes
terday and the Phillies amassed four
teen hits. In justice to Toney, the
Pills would not have scored three
runs in the first inning if Safer had
not thrown the ball away when Ma
gee was caught between the bases.
That abb won't do for the rest Of
the game, however, and errors were
not responsible for Doolan's home
run, Cravath's three singles or Lud-
erus' double and single.
Rixey, the Virginia southpaw,
joshed the Cubs along for seven in
nings, when his team had ten-run
lead. Then Phelan blew a home run
and Ward Miller and Tim got the
hitting fever. If Phelan had not been
in the game the Cubs wouldn't have
scored. Evers removed himself be-
cause he was helpless against left
handler, and Phelan, subbing, jolted
single, triple and homer.
Frank Schultz has recovered from
his cold, but is remaining on the
bench because of weak hitting. ely
mer is also out, and Leach, Miller and
Mitchell compose the outer works.
This Clymer-Schulte-Mitchen garden
combination was expected to provide
many a clout this season. So far
Mitchell is the only one who has come
anywhere near making good. Bird
well and Evers, with slight assistance
from Safer, Tim and Archer, have
been bearing the burden.
The Cubs are only two games

in which six Athletics figured, killed
the rally.
Detroit punched nine hits off Tom
Hughes and Drohan in three innings.
Dubuc held the Nationals to seven
hits and himself smashed a single
and home run. Crawford registered
three singles. Bush was canned by
imp McGreevy, and Louden, who
took his place, made eight assists
and two hits.
All the BroWn-Boston scoring was
done in two innings. St. Louis hit Col
Inns hard in the second, and in the
fifth Harry Hooper of the Red Sox
cracked a homer with two men on
Collins and Baumgardner twirled on
even terms. Jimmy Austin hung up
three safeties, including triple.
Heavy hitting by Daubert, Cutshaw
and Wheat gave Brooklyn another
win over St. Louis. Curtis was hit
for II safeties, and the Card tWirlers
we're jolted fourteen times. Wheat
walloped homer and double, CUT
shaw homer and single and Daubert
triple and two singles. Konetchy
pasted a homer and single and Hug
gins three singles.
MatheWson pitched great ball until
his team secured lead on the Pr
rates, then eased off and gave them
three runs in the eighth on six sue
eessive hits. O'Toole and Cooper
were pounded hard. Fletcher got four
hits and Merkle, Viox and Jack Miller
three each. New York ran bases wild
on Kelley, the Pirate catcher, Fletch-
er stealing three times. 3
Clark Griffith of Washington
strengthened his pitching staff by
purchasing George Mullin, the vet

=.55 SEMITIC SENATE
District Commissioners Urge
Construction of Homes for
Evicted Families.

In connection with the proposed leg
islation for elimination of the slums the
Commissioners sent to the Senate to-
day, in response to a resolution calling
for the information, a list Of 100 alley
dwellings, together with the name and
address Of the owners. The list In.
cludes only the alleys in which there
are ten or more dwellings.
In addition there are about 1000 In
habitated houses in alleys containing
les than ten dwellings. according to a
directory compiled under the direction
of DIR. Thomas Jesse Jones. chairman OF
the housing committee OF the Monday
Evening Club, copy OF which accom-
panied the Commissioners report. The
number of interior courts in the city, as
given by the housing committee. Is 20.
containing 3,377 houses, which provide
dwellings for approximately 5000 per-
sons.
Plans for the conversion Of the al
leys into minor streets In which homes
will be provided for the slurn dweilers
are now being made by the Com
misisoners. In their repert on the
bills for the elimination Of Shows
court and Goat alley. which will be
sent to Congress next week. the Com
mlssioners Will recommend ieeisiduoh

ton of the alleys, but of adjacent land
upon which may be erected sanitary
buildings to be rented at a moderate
cost. In other words. 1t Is proposed by
the District to enter the real estate
business, the Commissioners realizing
that the problem can never be solved
by eliminating the slums without find-
ing suitable quarters for the slum
dwellers.
In the elimination Of the inhabited
alleys Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins and others who have
shown such decicd interest in the
movement will have the hearty Coop
erstion Of the new Board of Commits
sioners. Both Mr.. Newman and Mr..
SiGdons are members of the Monday
Evening Club. which for several years
has conducted an active campaign for
the Improvement Of slum conditions.

of the two armies that fifty years ago
practically decided the fate of the ma

Fully 2o.ooo veterans arrived from all

day was warm for the old soldiers, but
the Government has provided every
thing possible in the way of caring for
them, and 1t was expected they would
experience little discomfort.

Nearly 400 Clerks to
Leave Pension Office

Three hundred and ninety employees
of the Pension Office are to be dismissed
from the Government service June 80,
when they will draw their last pay. All
Of them are clerks, mostly Of the first
three grades drawing $500. $1,000, or
$1,000 year.
Their appointments were made on
temporary rolls to meet the exigencfes
of the Sherwood pension act, or dollar
a-day pension BILL" which swamped the
office with work. Most of them were
employees who lost out in other depart
ments and bureaus through a cutting
down, and In the Pension Office they
had hold-over hope. This Is the big
gest cut In force since the advent Of
the Democratic Administration. There
is no appropriation to carry any OF these
employees after June 80. and the regular
rolls at the Pension ONCE are cvrowded.
