The Belgian mail steamer Leopold II.
which arrived at Folkesttone today from
Ostend, according to the Central News,
reports that she. narrowly escaped
damage by a bomb dropped from the
Zeppelin airship. which yesterday flew
over Ostend. Fragments of bomb fell
on the steamers deck.
German aviators Friday dropped
bombs on the race course at Amiens,
thinking 1t to be an aviation camp, ac-
cording to a dispatch from Boulogne to
the Daily Express.
One Zeppelin Damaged.
GENEVA. Switzerland, via Paris, Sep
tember ga telegram from Basel
states that the recent English aerial
raid on Dusseldorf. a depot for Yep
pelins. resulted in the damage of one
Zeppelin. but the extent of the injury
wrought is not known. A second bomb
machinery shed in the vicinity con-
tanning duplicate pieces for the air
craft. while a third bomb fell in a
meadow. No deaths are reported.
As an immediate result Of the aerial
raid, says the telegram. all cathedral
towns along the Rhine, especially at
Cologne and Strassburg, are now flying
large white hags, while the dimensions
of the Red Cross flags on the hospitals
have been increased.

Obliged to Fly High.
PARIS. September 2e, s:35 a.m.-An
aviator who has just returned from
the front tells of the difficulty encoun-
tered by the flying men on reconnais-
sance duty. He said:
I'VE are obliged to fly at a height Of
about one mile and a quarter, which
makes observation difficult, as small
objects. even with the aid of the
strongest glasses. assume unfamiliar
shapes and become foreshortened.
III we fly under that height we are
greeted by a hail OF rife fire, which is
far more effective than the cannon. We
fear the rifles more than the bursting
shrapnel, as the IRE of the rifles con-
centrated on single object is far
more deadly"

: GLASGOW, May 3o.-The birthplace of
Rob Roy. the celebrated Highland free
nooter: the place where he died and his
grave have been saved by a decision OF
the house OF lords denying the city of
Glasgow a right to draw a water supply
from Loeb Vol and Loeb Doine. II
Glasgow's request had been granted 1t
would have been necessary. since these
lakes are a part of the eastern water
shed. TO raise the level of the lakes some
fifty feet. which would have submerged
yhe Rob Roy landmarks.
These sentimental considerations were
laid before the house of lords In petition
after petition. but the decision Of that
body. sitting in its judicial capacity. was
not based upon any of these points. The
ancient riparian regulations read that wa
ter from an eastern watershed shall not
be diverted to western uses, and it was
decided that Glasgow must forego its wa
ter supply for the prosaic reason that the
city is on the wrong side of the water
shed.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. June 6.-While Man.
ager Griffith is hopeful that his team will
make a good showing during its stay in
the west, he is by no means overconf-
dent. realizing that his men will be pitted
against some rather stubborn ball teams
during the invasion. This ST. Louis club
is by no means an easy opponent. On
form it has something on Boston and
New York. against which teams the Ma
tionals have been playing lately, and the
picking here IS by no means figured to
be easy.
Chicago, which is the next city to be
visited. is not the easiest proposition.
either. Scott and Benz are a great pair
of pitchers. and are apt to upset any
team they face. AS for Detroit that Is
the team which the Nationals fear most.
1t is a safe prediction that Ty Cobb will
be back in the lineup by the time the
Nationals arrive, it being the last city
of this end Of the circuit. Detroit is still
very much in the race. and 1t is pretty
sure to stand better chance when the
geratest of all ball players gets back
into harness than it has to date.
If the Nationals can keep up the pace
they have set for the past month or
more all we'll and good. but the team
cannot AFFORD to slump. for 1t Is up
against some real ball teams during the
remainder of its stay away from home.
1t is to be hoped that Walter Johnson's
teammates will be able to get him few
runs in the game today. AS a rule, there
is always a scarcity Of tallies in the
games Walter pitches and as a result he
loses contests which ordinarily would be
won. johnson has displayed his best form
OF late. and that sort of pitching ought to
win. But it will not unless some runs
are scored.
The Nationals will have had two idle
days when they tackle the Browns this
afternoon. The days have been idle, but
not restful ones, for the trip from New
York here was rather strenuous one.
The train was late. not arriving here
until after 9 O'Clock. But the lay-off

well accepting three put-outs. one OF

absurd, to carry the game any further.

The Columbia Club tennis committee
did good days work yesterday when 1t
almost cleaned the board in the middle
Atlantic tourney. and left nothing but the
feature events today. Play started at 2:30
o'clock and continued until darkness.
The feature event of the afternoon, the
match between Miss Pellew and Miss
Doyle. in the women's singles, developed
into big surprise as tho former came
of victorious, by the score Of 40 81
and 6-3 It was the consensus OF opinion
that Miss Doyle would have an easy time
winning. and in the first set the wise peo-
pie were nonplused over the strong con-
test furnished by Miss Pel,ew, the games
going to deuces frequently. The hard
battle evidently told on Miss Doyle. as
she fell back in her brilliant work Of the
first set and Miss Pellew had rather an
easy time Of it in the two final sets. The
victory throws Miss Pellew into the
finals today and she will meet Miss Eva
Baker. a former title holder. Whoever
wins this event will have to meet Miss
Bryan for the championship, the latter
holding the title
It was the intention to settle this event
this afternoon. but the tennis committee
excused Miss Bryan, as she had made
arrangemens to take a trip into the Blue
Ridge over Sunday, and the contest will
be a special feature some time next week.
No matter who wins today in the finals,
both Miss Baker and Miss Pe1lew will be
able to make it interesting for the cham
pion.

There were two exceptionally well
pitched games in the amateur leagues
yesterday. One took place in the Rose
dale League. where Nops let down the
Columbus without a base hit, and the
other was in the Departmental, in
which Schrider allowed War only one
safety.
1t would be hard to say just which
was the best game from the standpoint
of the two pitchers. Although Nops
did not allow a hit. Schrider did the
most consistent work, in that he was
not wild. Except in the matter of con-
troll. there was practically no difference
in the accomplishments of the two
hurlers. Nops though. gave seven
bases on balls, while Schrider did not
allow a man to reach first by that
route Nops, as a result OF the bases
on balls. coupled with some errors,
was scored on four times. while
