HARRY Cline PROVES
EASY FOR DEMAREST
Captures 1872 Balkline Game in
Championship Billiard League
at Leader Parlors.

The third series of games for Wash
ington, of the Champion Billiard Play
ers' League, began last night at the
Leader parlors. with Calvin Demarest. OF
Chicago, and Harry Cline, of Philadel-
phia, the contestants. The second game
Of the series will be played this after
noon at 2t3O o'clock. and the third this
evening at S:15 o'clock. The team is
playing 1872 balkline in this series.
In the game last night Demarest lit
orally ran away from his competitor
taking the lead at the start and sur.
rendering it only for a few minutes in
the early stages of the play. Mr. Cline
was in bad form, the balls broke badly
for him. and his pace was up a hill that
Increased in steepness to the end of the
trail. But for two pieces of bad luck
the story OF the game might have been
different In the third inning, when
everything was moving superbly for the
veteran player. he missed an easy draw
shot. leaving the balls in position, which
hurt his chances amazingly. Again in the
sixth inning he failed to drive the balls
out Of balk, which gave Demarest an
other chance to run ahead. Mr. Cline's
average was only 10. five points below his
average for the season, while Demarest
fell only n half point below the season s
average. Both these players in the last
report of the league secretary had a sea-
sonal average of 10 points.
Demarest played fast and with much
skill and confidence. His position play
was excellent, though he plays a more
open game than Mr.. Cline
The game ran to twenty-one innings
for 800 points, and Demarest missed his
opening shot three and Cline five times
The high run of the evening was made
by Demarest-S points.
A fair-sized audience witnessed the
play. Among the spectators were Rep
resentatives Bathrick. of Ohio, and Pat
ton. Of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Demarest
accompanies her husband on the present
trip and was present last night to
watch the game.

Lajoie Signed by Mack
Will Play Second Base
Former King Of Keystone
Sackers Purchased from
Cleveland for Athletics.
GREAT CAREER In PHILLY
Special to The Washington Herald.

SpeCial to The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 5.-NapOleon
LajOie, for many years. known as the
King of Second Basemen,' will again
wear the uniform of the Athletics. The
deal whereby LajOie will come here from
the Cleveland club was made in Cleve-
land today. Manager Mack went to
Cleveland and closed the transaction dur
ing A conference with President Somers,
of the Maps.
LajOie had been apprised of the effect
to bring him back to the city where he
made his first major league appearance,
and he promptly agreed to the transfer.
II was announced that no other player
was involved in the deal, and that the
contract which the Athletics assume with
Lajoie has two years more to run. In a
telegram from Cleveland this afternoon
Manager Mack stated that he had signed
Latoie to play second base for the White
Elephants.
Sure of Warm Welcome.
LajOie will undoubtedly be given a
great welcome by the fans of this city
He slowed up somewhat i'm his fielding
and hitting during the last couple of
years, but this may have been partly
due to the fact that he was playing with
a second division team. With fast men
LAFAS -hSAiilSS anu bdTTy on each SIDE or
him, LaJoie should prove a tower of
strength to the Athletics in the infield.
His hitting should also improve, as the
past season was the only one in which
ne did not prove to be a terror to pitch
ers since he entered fast company with
the Phillies in 1896.
There has seldom been a more popular
player with a club in this city than La
Joie was until he was enjoined by the
court from playing with the Athletics in
1907 Larry came here from the Fall
River club during the season of 1896.
Billy Nash, who was then manager of
the Phillies, went to Fall River to secure
little Phil Geyer, an outfielder, but he
liked the looks of Lajoie and also landed
him.
Made Good from Start.
Lajoie was here only a couple of weeks
when he, began to impress the fans that
he was player of exceptional ability.
He played for a time on first base and in
the Outfield. but his greatest work was
at second base. In 1901, when the Ameri-
can League came East, Latoie, with Bill
Bernhard Chick Fraser, and Bill Dug
gleby, jumped TO the Athletics. Dubgle-
by was induced to return to the PhiIlies,
but the Philadelphia National League
club went into the court for the others.
The American League won in the lower
court but the case was carried to a
higher court, and the decision was over
ruled. In the spring of 1902, when the
Athletics were playing the opening game
of the season at Baltimore, the court
ordered Lajoie. Fraser. and Bernhard to
return to the PhiIlies.
Fraser did so, but Lajoie and Bern
hard, after dickering with Col John 1.
Rogers. of the PhilIIes, jumped to Cleve-
land. which was out of the Jurisdiction
Of the Pennsylvania courts. LajOie was
manager OF the Cleveland club for sew
eral seasons, and he has worn the uni
form of the Maps ever since he left the
Athletics.

CITE THE SHERMAN ACT
By WILLIAM PEET.

| From Chicago yesterday came the
startling news that the Federal League
through its attorneys had petitioned
Judge Landis to grant. an injunction de-
claring the National Baseball Commits
sion trust and forbidding its members
to continue doing business.
The National Commission is composed
of President Ban B. Johnson, Of the
American League, President John K.
Tener of the National League and Garry
/ Hermann owner of the Cincinnati club.
If this injunction is granted organized
baseball will be torn TO shrewds, for
without the National Commission the
sport could not possibly hope to thrive.
all operate under the National Commits
Among the reliefs prayed for by the
Federal Leaguers are:
That the national agreement shall be declared
illegal and void and that organized baseball shall
be enJOned from operating under its rules that the
National Commission shall be declared illegal; that
organized baseball shall be declared a trust in re-
straint of trade, and that all PARTICIPANTS shall be
enjOined frUm further continuing in business; that
the men in organized baseball shall be restrained
from stating that the men in the Federal League
are financially irresponsible. from threatening ball
players with the 'blacklist' and from referring to
the Federal League players as ''Outlaws"
That all DasbIll contracts held BY the teams in
organized baseball shall be declared void and the
players be declared free agents
That the organized club oWners be compeIed to
dismiss the sIits they have brought against George
W. johnson THE Cincinnati pitcher who jumped TO
Kansas Cityl. Harold Chase (the White Sox player
who leaped to Buffalo,. Marsans (the Cuban who
left the Reds. and Lee Magee 1.-THE Cardinal who
jumped to manage the Brooklyn FederalsD.
That the club owners in organized baseball he re-
strained from attempting TO win back by ''injunc-
tiOn, by thrrats by bonuses. promises bonuses,
or otherwise the following Players Caldwell Per
ritt, WingO, O'Conner Bedient Austin Allen,
Berghammcr. Bender. Plank and Msrquard.
That all the damages which the Federal League
has sustained be fixed by the court and paid BY
organized baseball
Bill Is Far-reaching.
This bill is by all odds the most SEN
sational which has been filed by the Fed
erals since they entered the field. and
really is far reaching because it af-
feCts every club owner and magnate in
organized baseball, for the reason that
all operate under the National commits
sion and the national agreement
The writer doubts very much If the
Fedarals have much of a chance to win
their case, but the petition and its court
airing will hurt the game more than a
little and is bound to bring before the
public a heap of newspaper notoriety, lit
tie to be desired by the forces in COM
mand of organized baseball.

date for the hearing follows:

different places
The Bread Club car was decorated
with brown and white paper and
loaves of bread. The girls ate up one
loaf while riding.
The Tomato car was very gorgeous
in red and green crepe paper. A, lit
tie live tomato rode in it with a. red
cap and dress OF green crepe paper,
Billy O'Sryan by name.
The Corn Club car was decked out
of yellow jesamine and corn.
After parading about town for a
while the cars ent back to the court
house, where Mr.. Allen McF'addin
talked to the girls. Then the girls
had their songs and yells.
Miss Richardson announced that
there would be pictures of demonstra-
tions of Canning Clubs all over the

Gard of Thanks

I desire to express to one and all
who 10 any way assisted, or contrib
uted to the success OF our Field Day
exercises last Friday, my heartiest
thanks To reach each one personally
would become an impossibility, and 10
attempt tc mention each one specially
in this card would likely prove unsat-
isfac;ory. Therefore, | want each one
who in any way assisted US to accept
my hearty commendation.
In this connection, I desire TO ask
the charity and lenient judgment OF
anv one who NAV have felt thst he or
she did not get fair treatment 10 every
respect. II is almost 40 imposes bll'ty
in any movement aud occasion like our
general field days for there not TO exist
ia the minds and hearts OF some feel
ing that in some way they d not get
lust what they wanted or merited. l
say. it is Difficult for nothing to occur
TO mar the feelings of some one, be-
cause circumstances often arise uneN-
pectedly that cause 4 modification OF
previously laid plans, These are oc-
casions when we should adopt the
proper spirit Of friendly rivalry. and If
at first YOU do not succeed, ,:4eu Try,
try again. Very Respectfully,

Bi1iy Sundays Advice to Suitors.

Here's Billy Sundays advice to suit
ors as embodied In his address at Pat
erson recently:
Never ask a girl to be your wife
when she's got her best bib and tucker
on. Call on her and leave at 10 o'clock
and leave your glove on the piano. ana
90 back the next morning about 0
o'clock after your glove and ring the
doorbell, and if she comes to the. door
with her hair done up in curl papers
and slipper on one ;ooc and a shoe on
the other foot, and that nntied, and a
Mother Hubbard on, take to the woods
as fast as you can 60 Never MIND the
glove; let the old man have that if he
can wear it.
But ii she comes to the door nice and
neat, in neat looking house dress,
with her sleeves rolled up and her hair
neatly done up and ribbon or flower
stuck in it, grab it quick.
