GENERAL DEFENSE PLAN
FOR ATLANTIC COAST
Heaviest Glass of Fortifcations at
Mouth of Chesapeake Bay
Included.

In the plans for general defense of
the Atlantic coast are preparations for
the heaviest class of Notifications at
the mouth of the Chesapeake bay, it
has become known through testimony
given before the Sherley subcommittee
of the appropriations committee of the
House. Brig. Gen. William CroZier,
chief of ordnance of the army, ap-
peared before that committee and gave
considera BILE testimony the necessity
for protecting that waterway. He de-
scribed it as one of several places
where facilities for land operations
are so good that it is worth while to
fortify them, especially to prevent that
operation, Notwithstanding they are
not places where great damage can be
done by the guns of fleet"
Gen. Crozier Discusses Proposition.
The general said, further, in dis
cussing Chesapeake bay:
I'VE have Norfolk defended at Fort
Monroe, Washington very much over
defended and Baltimore defended But
they (the enemy could come into
Chesapeake bay and establish a base
along that shore, then send an army in
any direction. There are few such
points as that
Charleston, 5. c., and New Orleans
might be damaged by long-ranaa feet
fire he said, and twelve-inch guns with
high-angle fire, giving them range
beyond any guns afioat contemplate
ed for navy ships, would answer the
defense purposes at such points. At
Iantic City and Gloucester, Mass sim
iIarly might be victims of fleet fire, he
said, but their bonn bardment would not
injure the nations ability to continue
the war. and it is not proposed to for
tify them.
Unable to Cover Entire Coast.
1T would be deplorable and very UNI
fort innate for the citizens, he added,
but il is impracticable to defend the
whole coast against damage.
Certain points are selected for forth
fcation where the damage would be
so important as to affect the fighting
a biIity of the United States. They are
| still not protected against damage
which could be done by bodies of troops
| landed and marched overland to one
| of these cities.
| The theory is that we have plenty
of people and plenty of resources to
| take care of that condition, if we will
| use them. If we will not use them,
| there is no way to take care of it,"

Saws More Yards Are Needed.

Admiral Winslow thought additional
navy yards were necessary on the Pacihc
coast The Puget sound yard. ne
thought, should be promptly equipped to
care for big ships. He doubted the
wisdom of trying to make Mare Island a
first-clas navy yard, although yard of
that kind must be maintained IN SAN
Francisco bay. Battleships might grow
to $4,000 tons. he said, and the limita-
tons as to channel and water front at
Mare Island seemed to foreclose the de-
velopment of that yard to the uses of
modern fleet.
1t was not only question of depth
of water but also of room to swing
the ships to and from the docks and
the strong current and lack OF an
chorage.
Representative Stephens insisted that
with an investment of S15,000,O0O at
Mare Island everything possible
should be done to make that yard suit
able before it was abandoned. In any
event. he said. n board of officers
should determine the site of any new
yard that might be contemplated.
Representative Butler said the whole
question of Pacific coast yards should
be taken up and scientifically worked

W|NSLOW SUGGESTS
LARGER SEA CRAFT
Admiral Also Tells the House
Naval Committee of Pacific
Coast Needs.

The determination of the number OIL
submarines necessary to defend the
Pacific coast should be worked out on
the game board at the Navy War Col
lege. Admiral Winslow, commander of
the Pacific fleet. told the House naval
committee today. He thought 1t de-
sirabIe to abandon the small-type I'M
derwater craft now in use and TO con-
struct only boats of increased size anu
sea -keeping qualities in future.
Asked if he thought four shore bases
for submarines on the Pacific. as sus.
gested by Rear Admiral Grant, CHIEF
eff submarines, would be sufficient. Ad-
miral Winslow said yes. but thought IL
probable that more than forty-elght
boats would be required. There were
other matters in this connection, ne
said. which he preferred to discuss IN
closed session.

HARVARDPITCHER
BLANKS VIRGINIA
Whitney Twirls Crimson
TO Victory Over the
Speedy SouthrOns.

Cambridge, Mass, May g. Wilmot
Whitney, one of Fred Mitchel's Hsr-
ward pitchers, shut out the University
of Virginia 20 o this afternoon, al
lowing only two hits, both Of which
came in the eighth inning. He struck
out fifteen batters and had splendid
control.
Several weeks ago Virginia and Har-
ward played twelve innings TO , TO 2
tie, but to-day the wildness of Pitcher
RiXey. EpfA's tall young brother, made
things easy 70: the Crimson.
In the first inning Beal singled after
RiYcy had passed two batters, and two
men counted. The same situation in
the second inning provided a chance
for Harte to drive in two runs with a
hit
Harte also brought over Harvard's
fifth run in the eighth, hitting safely
10 right field after Abbot had singled
and stolen second.
Harvard played faultlessly in the
field, as against Georgetown on Tues
day, and hit the ball hard. Many Of
the Crimson drives were captured by
the Virginia outfelders, who supported
RiXey splendidly.
The score follows:

ROCHESTER IS
FIRST TO WIN
FROM NEWARK
Hustlers Break Victorious
Streak of Tenny's
Ball Players.

The Newark Indians finally came
cropner in the international League
race Yesterday; and the fall was good
and hard. Tenney's battling ball team
after recording six straight victories
finally dropped one game. Rochester
took their scslps by the one-sided score
Of 10 to 0. Newark was bad in every
department of the game, while Roches-
ter was well-nigh perfect all around.
What happened TO the Indians was
lust what had been predicted. Ihe
club has been skimmlng along vita
only four pitchers One of them,
Schacht. has a sore arm; so there are
really only three fingers on the active
list.
Johnnv Enzmsnn was selected 70
work Yesterday, but he had nothing
save his glove and his courage. Man
ager Tennv was in dilemma, as he
couldn't afford to use another twlrler.
When Enzmann couldn't hold the hust-
lers any longer Newark lost. II,
Witter. the right fielder, was called
TO the slab in the eighth inning and
did so we'll that Rochester got put one
run off him.
Rochester played errorless ball ana
amassed seventeen hits. Joe Brown,
who pitched for the Hustlers, is a youth
whom Manager Tommy Leach dug up IN
the North Carolina League and he
proved to be a sensation. He kept the
Newark hits scattered and the Indians
never got near the plate. In fact, not
a man reached third.
The game went along evenly Tor four
innings. Rochester broke the ice IN
the third. McAuley scratched hit 70
short and then Casey doubled, scoring
him. The fourth was blank, but IN the
fifth the visitors fell on Enzmann for
four tallies. McAuley doubled past
third and Casey hit TO Schreier, who
threw late 70 third Brown forced
Casey. but Farrell tripled 70 centre,
scoring two. Babbington singled, send
ing Farrell home. and following an out
Babbington tailed on Sloan's single.
The runs through the remainder Of
the game were just incidental. New
ark couldn't shake off the spell OF
Brown and Rochester played under
wraps. Newark still holds the lead in
the league, although Providence won.
The Indians are only one game to the
good.

PENN STATE NINE
Ten-Inning Thriller Is
Finally Captured by
Maroon TOSSerS.

The Fordham University baseball
nine defeated Penn State College on
Fordham Field yesterday in thrilling
ten-inning game by score Of | to 0.
Darkness was about TO finish the con-
test when Joe Sharkey, Fordham's right
fielder. smashed long single to centre
that scored Damico and gave Fordham
8 victory in the best played game of
the season on the Bronx diamond
Jim McQuade, who has been up
holding more than his share of the
Fordham pitching burden. again went
on the mound for the Maroon. Yes
terday his mates did not hand nim a
seven-run handicap. as they did against
Columbia on Saturday, so Jim was re-
turned the victor
Counting his efforts in the game last
Saturday, McQuade has now twirled
eighteen consecutive innings without
being scored upon.
The Maroon twirler started off yes
terday as If he was after the strike
out record. tanning four Of the visi-
tors in row and punching seven of
his twelve strikeouts in the first three
innings.
Wardwell pitched sterling ball for
Penn State Both teams had several op-
portunties 10 score. but fine fielding
and tight pitching in tho pinches cut
off any rally.

Lively and closely-contested matches

Sterling Golf.

Risley played sterling golf through
out most OF the testing round al
though an extra putt on the first green
nut him one above par there. On the
long fifty. sos yards, he was at the
edge of the green on his third, but
was forced 20 make three puts before
he could sink his ball in the cup.
The sixth and seventh we're reeled
off in par figures, but on the eighth,
1872 yards, an iron shot, the Atlantic
City star fiubbed his second and was
marked down in his card, as against
the par Of g. On the last hole going
out. Risley again got into trouble by
being a bit off the line. and took a SIX,
whereas par golf would have gwen
him a 4.
Coming in. Risley gave a great ex-
hibition, tearing Off hole after hole in
par figures His driving was particu-
larly good. and the distance he was
getting with his tee shots enabled him
to approach the green with a shot TO
spare in a number Of cases. On the
last three holes the Country Club IA
vorite wavered a bit, although Hack
ney did his best TO steady HIM, and
the sixteenth was marked up for !.
The seventeenth and eighteenth
found Risley unable 70 keep straight
down the fairways, and the best he
could do was TO score two SKIES on
these holes, two above par IN each
case.
Philadelphians, who had come down
from the Quaker City some fifty
strong, were in high hopes Of carrying
home the gold medal, until Wootton
holed out on the eighteenth and 10 was
announced that his so was the low
score up 10 that time. Indeed. il
seemed as II the low score prize would
