1t was agreed that a hit into the

ordinary fly ball, that would have been
an easy out except for the crowd, fell
among the fans, just out of Milans
reach, despite q desperate effort on his
part to pluck it out o. the crowd.
Nine Famed Out.
That was the only hit of the game,
In the other innings it was ucuaIly
the one, two, three order. Nine of the
men who faced Walter went out on

the Athletics, it was, indeed, a great

club leaders. McCloskey, Atkins and
Brandes, had a long talk this morning
and arrangements for the trip around
the circuit starting Wednesday MORN
ing, were about completed.
Bill Hurley, the manager whom Nc
Closkey had been trying to get from
the Saskatoon club of the old Western
Canada league, was heard from by
wire, declaring that he is ready to cast
in his lot with the league here and
asking for further details. McCIoskey
will wire him the required details to-
night and ask him to come here at once,
as Hurley is an experienced organizer
and will prove of much assistance in
getting the league going.
Jack Atkins is after a Chicago man
to act as business manager of the
Phoenix club for him and an answer
from the windy city man is expected
any time now.
Hugh Hardin, the local baseball
player who has been in the Texas
league for the past two years, left Sun
day for Galveston to join that club and
get in shape for the coming season.

The Philadelphia club Of the Ameri-

twirler TO beat. MaclEs athletes can
nit the pill and few twirlers give them
any worry. Despite his great speed
and fast breaking curve, Johnson has
found the Mackmen a worthy foe. I
once heard Walter say that any time a
twirler trimmed Mack's team he owed

Promoting and Protecting

(From the Washington Post.)

There is one effect Of this present
war that is certain to produce excel
lent results for the United States and
its people, and that is that. being cut
off by hostilities from supplies of
many commodities obtained in foreign
countries, the inventive genius of the
people has been called upon to Gre
ate sources OF supply here, and it is
responding finely to the commercial
necessities of the country.
The announcement that a dye has
been discovered that win supply our
manufacturers Of textiles with fully
as good colors as have hitherto been
imported from Germany and at a far
less cost than the prices paid there is
a case in point; and if the news proves
correct it will not only mean mil
lions OF dollars saved from the pay
ment for importations. but II will
mean the providing Of our manufac-
turers with a necessary article that.
produced at home at low figures, will
give them a substantial advantage in
the worlds markets over foreign COM
petitors.
This war has disclosed to the world
the financial, commercial and indus
trial weakness Of all nations that fail
to have within their own boundaries

adiuncts of national prosperity.

If there was either German inlua-
tive or acquiescence in the message
from Pope Benedict delivered to
President Wilson on Thursday that
fact would and should have no influ-
ence on our government unless it
should coincidentaly appear that the
allied belligerents are tavorably dis
posed towards present discussion of
terms of peace. The indications are
all to the contrary. Russia, notwith-
standing her reverses, is apparently
unshaken in the determination to
maintain her struggle to the end of
her resources. France and Great Brit
ain have recently reiterated in the
strongest terms their purpose to car
ry on the war until the power of
their enemy has been broken Italy
has scarcely begun to fight For the
United States under these circum-
STAGES to proffer again the mediative
services already rejected would be
to commit an act Of officiousness cal
culated TO give offense.
That Germany should be willing. If
not anxious for a speedy termination
OF hostilities is not to be wondered
al in view of the present state of her
military fortunes In the principal
fields Of land operations. In any ac-
commodation now to be arrived at

the conquests she has achieved and
still holds of Belgian French and

A FACTIONAL FIGHT oNIY.
% the North East Sian

From the North East Star.
It is unfortunate for the Demo-
cratic party in Maryland, that there
should be such a perversion of the
intent and purpose of the primary
election law as the present campaign
is bringing to light Instead of the
result being determined by the voters
on the relative merits and fitness Of
the candidates, whether for State or
county Offices, there is being quietly
forced upon them a pressure to de-
eide solely for reasons Of faction.
The idea of whether Mr.. Harrington
would be better governor than Mr..
Lee. or vice versa; or whether Mr..
A would discharge the duties of a
county Office with more efficiency
than Mr.. B or Mr. c. is entering in
a very small measure into the cam
paign. The thought that il being
pushed most prominently is Mr.. Lee.
or Mr.. Harrington as the case may
be, is the better man for our fac
ton; or Mr.. A or Mr.. s is "our man "
Such is the manner in which the
campaign is being carried on in a
very large measure, to the detriment
Of true Democratic principles. and
to the disgust of those Democrats who
are not concerning themselves about
the interests and welfare of any fac
tion. Such Democrats are led 10

houses" and would have few tears

1NHE average duty collected on imports under the
Democratic tariff law is equivalent to an ad
valorem duty OF 1S per cent That is, dollar
of imports, the government gets 1S cents.
Under the Republican tariff which the Democrats
repealed government collected 20 cents for
dollars worth Of goods imported.
The theory Of the Democrats that the lower duty
would bring in goods and make up most OF the
difference They ignored the fact that every dollar
spent for foreign goods dollar less spent
for the product Of American labor They also ig-
nored the that every dollar spent for labor is
spent by its recipient until in the course of year.
It has passed through twelve different hands and given
employment TO twelve different men.
Therefore for every dollars worth of foreign made
goods brought in under the Democratic tariff law there
taken from American labor not merely one dollar
OF wages but twelve dollars.
These facts explain in nutshell, why millions Of
men were jobess the Democratic tariff law
was enacted and why they have continued obess ex-
cept to the that the war in Europe has shut of
importatons and given employment to men engaged in
producing or manufacturing foodstuna, munitions or
equipment for the nations OF Europe.

that children ccme the first day and
