Then when they are "bawled out" for

Poor Work at Beginning.

The stupidity on the bases manifested
itself in the very opening round. Noel
Ter, who had walked, overran second base
on Fosters ugly-bounding srounder to
Olson and he was >Dut. Instead of two
being on the bases and none out, Foster
was on first, with one out He eventual
~ scored, after Milans out had moved
him to second. Gandil had walked and
Shanks dropped a single into right, but
Gandil was nailed at third when he tried
to reach that goal on The hit. Morgan
opened the second with a hit, was sac
rif1ced to second, and was then left while
Ainsmith and Shaw were retired on easy
chances In the fourth another run was
scored. Gandil had been retired, when
Shanks hit to right for two bases. Nor
gan scored him with g single. but the
next two batters popped up. That was
the Nationals final run. though opportu-
mites for tallies were numerous. In the
fifth, for instance. Moeller and Foster hit
safely, with one out but were left. In
the sixth, Shanks singled and Morgan
was walked before any one was out, yet
neither scored. In the eighth Gandil sin
gled, and, after Shanks had fouled out,
Morgan was walked. Williams. hitting
for Mcbride, sent fly to Wood, and then
Morgan allowed himself to be caught

was run down.
The Maps got their first run in the sec

put-out Chapman was walked in this
inning, stole second. and 1t looked like a
bunch of runs when O'Neill hit through
the box, but Morgan happened to have
run over to the bag, got O'Neilrs ground

game Of the series in a common canter
by a score of Z to @ At no time since
Washington has had a team prominent
in the American League race has 1t
given a more discouraging exhibition
than the one Of yesterday. An amateur
team would have been discredited by a
similar performance. and the only as

the Maps did not win by wider margin.
Inability to hit when hits meant some

pitching which would have shamed

for runs was presented. for Collamore is

CLARK HOWELL
NOT IN RACE
South Georgia Man Expected to Be
Successor to the Late
Senator Bacon.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 25.-Governor
John NJ. Siaton and Clark Howell, edi.
tor of the Atlanta Constitution, yester-
day held several conferences in regard
to the appointment by the Georgia
executive of a successor to the late
Senator Bacon. Although Mr. Howell
notified Governor Slaton that he de-
sired consideration of his name elimi.
mated it is authoritatively stated that
the editor was told he could have the
appointment if he wished it.
In a letter to Governor Slaton pub
lished yesterday, Mr.. Howell asked
that his name should not oe consider.
ed because he believed the appoint.
ment should go to South Georgia, from
which section of the State the late
Senator Bacon came.
In reply to Mr.. Howelrs letter,
made public this afternoon, Governor
Slaton says:
While i think lines of thought
should be more potent in the choice
of Senator than lines of latitude or
longitude, and fitness more necessary
than geographical location, I appre-
ciate your suggestion"
Continuing, the writer enumerates
what he terms Mr. Howell's qualifica-
lions for the position, and adds:
These considerations would have
made your appointment singularly
appropriate one"
1t is believed that Governor Slaton
will make the appointment today, and
it is generally conceded that the man
selected will be South Georgian.

WANT COLLEGES SEPARATED.
Former Students OF A. & M. Took
Preliminary Steps at Dallas.

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 25.-About fifty
former students and alumni of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
of Texas met in executive session at
the Chamber of Commerce Sunday
and took preliminary steps to secure
the separation of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College from the Univer-
sity of Texas. An amicable division
OF the permanent endowment and in.
come bearing property of the Univer-
sity Of Texas was asked by the col
lege men.
The meeting was held following a
call issued by P. L. Downs of Temple,
president of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College Alumni Association.
Besides asking for the separation Of
the two colleges and an equal appor-
tionment of the endowment fund, a
resolution was also passed to the eff
feet that the directors of the Agricul-
tuyal and Mechanical College should
be notified by the alumni of the type
of man whom they desire appointed
as president OF the institution.

Rev. w. r. Brown has accepted the

He preached two sermons at the

young man, but full OF fire and zeal
and is thoroughly well qualified in
every particular to build up the church
at Brennan along broad. liberal and
progressive lines and in harmony with
the doctrine of the great religious or
ganization he so ably represents.
There was large attendance Sun
day morning, and the building was
crowded for sitting room Sunday even

APPROVES EAGLES
GOOD ROAD PLAN
Believes Dragging Is the Proper ThIno
to Do, But It Should Be Done
in Certain Way.

To The Bryan Eagle:
II you will allow space in your valu-
able paper, l would like to say Just a
few words about the upkeep of the
public roads of our settlement. The
Eagle has pointed out from time to
time the importance of dragging the
roads after each rain; all of which
is very good, and should be carried
out. But what / wanted to say was
about the way those drags are operat-
ed on the roads. All that have seen
operated are Just hooked on and pulled
over the road, like logging off a corn
field; pulled straight across the road
with no thought of working the dirt
to the middle of the road. My idea
Of the operation of road drag is to
drag in such way that will build
the road up instead of dragging it
down. As The Eagle says, when the
road is once graded in can be kept in
good order with drag II properly
operated. But as long as the dragging
is done as it is at present, the drag
ging is of very little value in the way
of keeping the road built up.
Another thing that The Eagle says
is just the thing to do That is to let
each overseer have a drag. Then for
the commissioner to see that they are
operated on the road after each rain
as soon as it can be done. Then we
Will have good roads all over the
county. We country Jakes like good
roads, too, and most of us believe that
we can have them with the proper
attention at the right time and place.
With best wishes to The Eagle, l
am, respectfully.
