SUPERBAS THURSDAY.

Fun began in earnest this afternoon
on the beach at the Brooklyn Nation
ais training grounds when genial I'm
Gle Wilbert Robinson told the boys"
the pitchers would be allowed to use
for the first time this season their
"twisters" and "benders, the like of
which the heavy batting squad were
just itching to face. Sunny-faced
smiling Colwell said pitching without
the use of curves in baseball was
like to eating soup with a fork and,
as for him, he was anxious to hear
the words from Uncle Wilbert that
would turn them loose Anyway, the
eager batting squad lined up in readi-
ness for anything the twirlers might
have up their sleeve and time and
again they showed their ability to
come back" by diving the sphere
into the tall timbers, one of which
was a home run by Hickman.
Mack Wheat and McCarty again
were captains of their chosen teams,
filled in with local players, and much
interest was taken in the play
Among the anxious fans on the
bleachers sat President Chas. H. Eb.
bets who earegrly watched the prog
ress of the match game, evidently
pleased with the showing made. Mr..
Ebbets returned today from a business
trip to Cincinnati. In answer to a
question as to what he thought of the
condition of the grounds for spring
training he replied that apparently, it
was in fine shape, but if you fellows,
he continued, would let Uncle Will
bert AID his grass in the outfeld alone,
Il fel quite sure it would grow up
instead of down, as the manager says
its doing"
Thursday afternoon will be a gala
day locally for the Superbas. The
team from Stetson university, claim
ed Justly to be one of the best college
teams in the state, will be on the
training camp grounds for no other
purpose than for the scalp of the
mighty Brooklyn Nationals. The pre-
sumptuous Stetson manager says EN-
phatically that his boys have the
goods and what it takes to put a
erimp in the training season OF the
heralded Superbas, they have it.

LOWER LOCAL DEPOSITS
Money Would Be Transferred Out Of
Town, Says Chamber.

At a meeting Of the board Of directors
OF the Chamber Of Commerce last night
the directors resolved to continue their
efforts to upset the provision OF the Dis
trict revenue bill which taxes intangible
property, such as bank deposits, etc, in
the District
Col John G. Capers, a director. said,
we feel that this action by Congress
taxing deposits above a certain amount
would cause the withdrawal of large
amounts from the banks, which other
wise would be left on deposit, and, in
cidentally, might cause the depositing Of
such amounts in banks outside the Dis
trict where such a law taxing deposits
does not exist"
Col. Capers was appointed by P. T.
Commerce, to represent that body as a
delegate to the convention Of the At
lantic Deeper Waterways Association, to
be held at Philadelphia, September u
10 Is.
The directors also empowered Mr..
Moran to appoint three members Of a
joint committee to meet with a similar
committee from the Newport News, Va,

project Of building a military and auto
mobile road from this city TO Newport
News and Fort Monroe
A balance of S1OO was turned over to
