Grifmen and Red Sox Go Six
and One-Half Innings.
..~ No Scoring.
By WILLIAM PEET.

Rain, very wet and penetrating, right
from the old Potomac River, interrupted
what threatened to be a regular ball game
here yesterday between the Nationals
and Boston Red Sox. Six and one-half
scoreeess innings were played when An
uouncer Phillips sent everybody home.
Black clouds gathered early, and not
only kept the attendance down, but made
1t appear as II festivities would never
start Umpires Chill and Evans, how
ever, decided that the fans might just as
well get a run for their money, and set
the wheels in motion.
1t was Jim Shaw against Emery
Shore, and both pitchers ma naged to keep
the platter clean for five innings, when
Umpire Chill ordered a halt on account
OF the rain.
Fifteen minutes later play was resumed
and the sixth inning was completed, also
the first half Of the seventh, but rain
was falling steady and Chill, who was
be hind the plate, waved both clubs to the
BENCH for another respite. In less than
ten minutes the storm broke with all its
fury. and further play was out Of the
question.
During the seven innings the Red Sox
! batted against Jim Shaw, two hits was
the best they could muster. Shaw was
wild, passing five and uncorking a couple
Of bum heaves. but he was Just wild
enough to be effective, and Boston could
not touch him when hits meant runs.
Ernie Shore was reached for three safe
blows. but in only one inning did the
Nationals have a chance to score; the
second, when Howard Shanks reached the
keystone sack through the medium of a
scratch hit and an error. Judge and Nc
Bride. however, could not score the
Monacan.
The Red sox threatened in every chap
ter but the seventh when Shaw retired
the side in order. Hooper was caught at
the plate in the first frame, when Hobby
grounded to Joe Judge A sparkling dou

Pittsburgh lad out OF a hole in the sec

MIX-UP OCCURS WHEN

Philadelphia. Pa. Sept S.-With fewer
than fifty spectators in the stands. the
Athletics took the opening game Of the
series from New York this afternoon, S

to the fact that the teams wanted to
double up tomorrow and leave Monday

1t was Mays who almost precipitated
a riot here some time ago by hitting Nc
Bride with a pitched ball.
Paul Shannon, the baseball writer Of
the Boston Post, who is here with the
Red Sox, declares that II Carrigan s
crowd can break even with the Nationals

the pennant.
Shannon is confident that the Boston
club will break even, II not better on the

PROPOSAL TO DISARM

Washington, March 25.-The joint re-

The allies are said to have replied that

The proposal of the allies that they

The suggestion was made early in Jan
nary. 1t has been said Germany would
have agreed to attack no ships Of com
merce unwarned, provided assurances
were given by the entente allies that they
would carry no guns.
It has also been said that Mr.. Lansing's

Berlin, March 25-It is understood that

purpose of giving committees opportuni-

pected speech of Chancellor Won Beth

1t also means, in all probability, the side

1t was at yesterdays session that
the conservatives were FESTIVE under the
agreement to avoid discussion of the sub
marine issue in open session. Count Won
Westarp said he was willing to adhere
to the agreement on condition that the
matter be discussed all the more thor
oughly in committee. Another eonser-
vative speaker desired to mention the
submarine question, but met with a
shout from the House that it was against
the agreement. Even then he persisted,
whereupon the president remarked blunt
ly: "You may not proceed on that sub
ject"
The conservatives found an outlet for
their feelings in repeated eulogies of Adj
miral Won Tripitz.

WESTERLY QUARRY
DISPUTE ENDED
Isaac C. Ellis Secures Order Ejecting
Horace Swan or Swan Granite Co.
from Land Said to Contain
Pink Granite,

Westerly, r. l., March 25-The SUI
preme court of Rhode Island has just
handed down an opinion in the case OF
Isaac c. Ellis vs.. Horace Swan, in which
lease of the granite on the Ellis farm
at Wood River junction, which was exc
cuted March 90 1859, has been declared
void, and ordered delivered up to the
superior court for cancellation.
This lease was secured first by the re-
spondent, Horace Swan, and later as
signed to the Swan Granite company
which seems to have done some pros
pecting on the property, which is sup
posed to contain valuable ledge of pink
granite, but no quarry was opened up
and neither the lessee nor the assignee
of the lease has since developed the
property.
Two or three suits have been brought
by Ellis to eject the Swan Granite com
pany or secure the cancellation of the
lease, one of which was a bill in equity
to have the lease cancelled on the ground
of abandonment, the quarry not having
been worked for term of years. This
suit was tried in November, 1914, and
though the lease was peculiarly drawn,
including a stipulation that it could not
be forfeited except in writing by the les
see. the superior court held that the lease
was forfeited or made void by abandon
ment, and therefore decided for the petit
toner.
