SCOTT TOO STRONG
FOR LOCAL H|TTERS
White Sox Star Holds Ma
ti0naIs to Four Scat
tered Hits.
ONLY RUN AGAINST HIM
RESULT OF FOUR ERRORS
Harper Is Wild, But Boehling
Pitches Exceptionally Well
From Third Inning On.

BY ]. ED GRILLo.

The White Sox won the final game of
the series yesterday. principally because
the Griffmen could not connect with Jim
Scott's peculiar delivery. The score was
2 to !.
Scott allowed but four scattered hits,
none of which figured in the lone run
the locals gathered. This tally came as
the result of four errors which the Sox
crowded into the second inning.
Harper and Boehling pitched for the
Nationals Harper was wild, it having
been eight days since he last appeared
on the rubber, and he retired in the third,
after he had passed the first two men
to face him in this round. Boehling got
out of this hole because Foster made
brilliant stop of J. Collins sharp ground
er, touched the bag, retiring Fournier, and
then threw to first in time to double-up
the batter. Blackburne hit long drive
to left center which had the earnlarks
of an extra-base hit, but Milan cut across
and captured the ball and the inning,
which seemed destined to be disastrous,
ended scoreless.
In the second Harper got out of another
tight place, though the Sox scored their
first run in this inning. With one down
he walked Blackburne and Schalk, and a
scratch hit by Scott filled the bases. Muir
ply popped up to Judge. but Harper then
walked Weaver. forcing Blackburne in. 1t
looked like more runs when Collins hit
over third. but Foster got the ball five
feet behind the bag and then beat Scott
to touching it. retiring the side.
Four Errors, One Run.
In the second half of this inning the
Soy presented the locals with a run.
With one down Fournier dropped
high fly from Barber and the latter
reached second. Shanks hit "A high
bounder- in front of the plate and
Schalk's low throw gave Shanks life.
Barber started home on the play and

THE COMMISSION wHIRLIGIG

HARRISBURG is being treated as
are the other third-cla cities
of the State to the usual whirli-
gig of political manipulation as a re-
suit of the commission experiment
Instead of being able to give their at
tention to the important public du-
ties, which are delegated to them, the
five managers of the city's affairs are
pulled this way and that by political
interests to the detriment of the best
interests of the people.
1t was obvious from the beginning
of this new system that these unfor-
tunate differences would arise In
stead of promoting harmony Of action,
the exact opposite has been the case
We have heard much of nonpartisan-
ship and all that sort of thing, but
it must be plain to the wayfaring
man that politics will always prevail
without regard to the particular form
of administration imposed upon the
municipalities by the Legislature.
All that the citizens of Harrisburg
desire is that the political eruption
may not seriously impair the efficiency
of the government which will start
out on a new lap next Monday. In
the playing for position the commits
sioners will do well to keep in mind
that their first and most important
duty is the transaction of the peoples
business. Naturally there will be some
political by-play; that is to be ex-
pected. But this should simply be
a diversion and not in any sense all
lowed to interfere with the more seri-
GUS duties of the commissioners
We hear much of combinations OF
one sort and another and such COM
binations are certain to develop from
time to time. just as they do in all
legislative bodies; but 1t doesn't fol-
low that all the energy of the COM
missioners shall be exerted in rivalry
OF any sort.
IL anything will ever force civil SER
vice as an infiexible rule of our munich
pal administration In Pennsylvania, 1t
is the Generalization that seems to
come with every change of admins
tration.

The filibuster is a truly heroic exer-
else and one surrounded by many
glorious legends. Senators have been
known to talk for eleven or twelve
hours with only an occasional pause
for cup of tea. They have been
known to read Huckleberry Finn and
the Plckwfck Papers and to tell the
stories of their lives and describe the
beauties of their native land from end
to end. All of which shows that our
senators are robust crew, but does
not seem to have much to do with
real freedom of speech. Instead oi
promoting fair discussion it makes il
dangerous for the majority to start q
debate lest it never end. 1t has en-
abled minority senators to secure the
passage of an undesirable amendment
by the threat of a filibuster Instead
of promoting mature deliberation, il
has brought into being a parliament
airy tactic about as intellectual as
stopping a freight train by piling
bricks on the track.
The evils and absurditieS of the
filibuster can scarcely be denied by
anyone, but those who are opposed to
an unlimited majority rule declare
that freedom of debate in the Senate
must be preserved at any cost. A
measure may be rushed through as
far as the Senate, they say, but there
hauling indeed. The Senate, accord
ing to this theory, is a sort of check
upon the ruthless, impetuous speed
with which the House does business.
1t should be remembered in this
connection, however, that the journey
of bill from the brain of some con-
sressman to the. statute book is a
long and hazardous one in any case
| First, it must be submitted to the
House of Representatives by the
member who has drawn it. BY the
/ House 1t is referred to a committee
/ If 1t is bill of any importance, the
committee summons experts and
holds hearings, often taking testi-
mony, literally. by the wagonload
From the committee OF the House the
bill will very often be sent to the
President or to the executive head of
| the department to which it applies
| For example, the parcel post measure
| was doubtless scanned by the post
master general and his assistants long
| before it came back to the House. The
bill will then be reported to the House
| by the committee, where it will be de.
bated very fully-even though not IN
definitely-and so finally it will come
| to the Senate.
| Here 1t must once more be grilleC
! by a committee; everyone who is sup.
posed to know anything about it must
be called upon for an opinion; anC
then, as a last and final ordeal, after
1t has passed through months o.
careful consideration by four or five
different bodies. it faces the unlimited
debate of the Senate.
