FIGHT FOR CRAVING DOCK.

Senator Bryan intends putting up
hard fight in the senate for craving
dock for Pensacola. When the naval
aDprouriation bill reaches the senate
he will introduce an amendment ap-
propriatfng a sufficient amount for
the construction Of such a dock, and
he now has much information, not
heretofore available which he can use
to advantage in fighting for the dock.
While 1t will mean a hard fight in the
senate the prospects are fairly good
that the amendment can be put
through, despite the opponents to a
navy yard and dock on the gulf coast.

vice in Mexico it is now certainty
that large bodies Of them will be as

Superbas Tumble Cubs
Out of Second Place
Allen Pitches at His Best
and Shuts Out the
Visitors-Lavender
Batted Hard.

The Brooklyn Superbas did their
share in helping the Boston Braves
make a successful assault on second
place. With Frank Allen at the helm,
and in one of his best left-handed days,
the Superbas defeated the Chicago
Cubs by score of to at Ebbets
Field yesterday afternoon. Boston is
now only one point ahead of the Cubs.
1t is we'll known that bear, even
grizzly, may be domesticated. The
Cubs from Chicago proved no excep-
ton. Allen used kindness and a daz-
cling supply of battling curves. 1t is
probable that the curves worked the
change in the Bruins. They collected
a few scattering hits-five in all.
As many as one got as far as third
base. This hardy explorer was none
other than the old reliable Heinie Zim-
norman, who got around in the Sec
ond inning. There was only one out,
too, but Derrick fouled out to Egan
and Archer popped to Dalton.
1t would appear from the result that
Hank 0'Day erred in his choice OF
pitchers. His opening selection was
Jimmy Lavender. Two years ago Law
ender stopped the winning streak OF
Rube Marquard. He still dates time
from that happy afternoon. AT any
rate, Lavender entered the fray. After
three narrowing but interesting inn
ings Lavender was excused from labor
ing through the heat and humidity Of
the afternoon. BY that time, however,
the Superbas Lad scored their total
number of runs.
George Washington label, Of Winni-
peg, a hatmaker when not ball play
err, took the place of Lavender. The
Canuck had a good day. He kept
things moving along smoothly and was
never in any danger.
Jake Daubert injected some color in
to featureless game. He made sew
eral neat catches of thrown balls, saw
ing his mates errors by lightning work.
Cutshaw had a good day at second.
The Superbas started scoring with
the game. 0'Mara walked for a start
er, and came all the way around on a
bunt by Daubert. He was aided by
some erratic work. Zimmerman, who
fielded the bunt, threw to Derrick,
catching 0'Mara off second. Derrick,
with the milk of human kindness surg
ing, threw and hit O'Mara on the head.
The poor ball flew like rocket to the
stands, badly hurt, while 0'Mara ran
home.
Cutshaw singled in the second inn
ing. and took second when Derrick
made a faulty play on a grounder by
Myers Claude tried for double play,
but lost A sacrifice moved both run
ners and pass filled the bases. Then
Allen drove out long fly, scoring Cut
shaw. In the third inning three hits,
