CHEVY CHASE WINS.
Base Ball Team Defeats Baltimore
Club, IA to 5.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
BALTIMORE. Md. June 2S-Society
folk OF this city and Washington saw
the Chevy Chase Club base ball team
win hard hitting game of ball today
from the Baltimore Club, IA to s. The
Washingtonians certainly had their bat
ting clothes on. They hit the ball hard
and frequently.
In Douglass. a former Naval Academy
player, the Washngtonians had a great
pitcher, the local team having the time
OF their lives to connect with his de-
livery. He was accorded the best kind
Of support throughout the nine innings.
On the other hand. Phil Harrison. who
did the box work for the Green Spring
Valley aggregation, was accorded ragged
support, and the score should have been
much closer. Several times players on
the local nine missed the easiest kind
of fly balls. but the Capital city fielders
were on the job from the sound Of the
gong and played brilliant ball.
The game started by Chevy Chase send
ing a brace of runs across the plate in
the initial inning. With one down, Lewis
singled to center. He went to second on
an out and scored on Reeves error. Park
err, next up, drew a pass, and scored
when Douglass sent a smashing three

Chevy Chase had things easy

CAMELS ARE NOT EVEN IN IT.
Sheep Can Go Four and a Half
Months Without Water.

Whether sheep are any relation to
camels the bureau Of forestry does not
attempt to determine. but it has discov-
cred that sheep can go four and halt
months without water, except for such
moisture as they can get from the dew
and the juices of forage plants.
The constantly increasing demand for
grazing ground has forced forestry Off
GERS to find places for as much stock as
can safely be admitted to the forests.
Therefore, they have tried, apparently
with success. the grazing of sheep on
ranges entirely destitute of water The
grazing season lasts from June ID TO Oc-
tober 81, and during this period of four
and half months the animals on these
ranges do not get drinking water.
Under such conditions, according to the
forestry bureau, the sheep have done ex-
tremely well. and last year lambs from
the Nebo national forest Utah, had an
average weight at the close of the sea-
son of sixty-eight pounds which is de-
clared to be rather above the normal
weight.
