DEMOCRATS WIN game
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE
McClintic, Of Oklahoma, was selected
as receiver.
Sidney Mudd, of Maryland, was
picked TO do the twirling honors for
| the Republicans. Mudd turned back
| the 'Dems" a year ago. but he must
have left all of his stuff at the House
Office Building. He put nothing on
the ball and twenty-nine hits was the
Democratic total.
The Democrats won in the ninth
inning, but the sixth-inning rally that
netted ten runs had the big crowd,
which appeared to be largely Demo
cratic, on their toes cheering. Presi-
dent Wilson was neutral with his ap-
plause.
Representative Bankhead tried to
stop the pill with his head as 1t des-
cended in a graceful arch from the
heavens. 1t must have dazed him or
put him partially to sleep. for in the
next inning when Sidney Mudd crash
ed one out in that direction Mudd was
nearly at the home plate before the
Alabama solon discovered 1t was his
duty to chase the ball. Then Repre-
sentative Guard, OF Ohio, was substi-
tuted and proved his gratitude by
smashing out three solid bingles.
The one real ball player was Rep
resentative Jones. of Texas. Seven
hits, He's little, but on, boy, he can
sting that ball. His good example
had Pat Harrison, Rouse, of Ken
lucky. who was once a big Lacquer,
and Whaley, doing the same.
Hawaiian Prince Plays.
Representative Johnson, of South
Dakota, tried his best to steady down
Representative Mudd and also tried to
show his colleagues how to hit but to
no avail.
Prince Jonah Kalanianaole,o of Hawaii,
came in to help out the Republicans in
the eighth. The prince wore a soft
slOuch hat and a form that would be
more becoming to a wrestler than a
ball player. Nevertheless he tried hard
and must have dropped several pounds
Of surplus avOirdupois in fifteen min
utes of honest endeavor. The prince
got a base on balls in the ninth. hold
ing resolutely to his bat while Pat
Harrison was shooting in every di-
rectiOn but the plate. He scored from
/
ative Rogers, of Massachusetts,, aided
and abetted him by tossing the apple
to the Republican dugout.
All in all. it was a perfect day for
the Red Cross and an enjoyable one
for the legislators. The reserve Of
ficers from Fort Myer drilled before
the game and the Marine Band gave
a concert.
The spick-and-span Red Cross am
bulance drivers in their natty uniforms
sold programs and netted a tidy sum
for the cause.
The proceeds of the game amounted
to nearly $500. There was no collec-
ton for the soldiers bat and ball fund,
the officials believing it might be con-
fused with Red Cross activities.

Allies Have Driven
Germans Under Grounc
So Declares Premier Lloyd George
In Addressing Throna.

(By international News ServIee.)
Dundee, Scotland, June 30.-Premier
Lloyd George declared in a speech
here today that the allies had driven
the great army OF Germany under
ground. Addressing a great throng
he declared:
when a great army Is driven to
tactics like these It is the beginning
Of the end. 1t means that we are
pounding a sense Of inferiority into
every pore OF the German military
mind.
1T Is good for the war. It is even
better for after the war. As long
as the Prussians have an idea Of su-
periority in their minds, Europe will
not be a decent place for persons to
live IN in peace. 1t will be easier
after this"

Pennsylvania System An
nounces New Freight
Shipment Regulations.

A complete change in the methods
of receiving, loading and forwarding
..- IAN carload freight Of all kinds
en- worked out and will shortly
- {. in operation on the Pennsyl-
Ntui Railroad lines east Of Pitts
rnfs
III new arrangements will cOnsi-
tlte A most far-reaching improve
has ever been attempted on
Eale in freight transporta-
tices. The present custom
Ewing less than carload freight
minateIy, at all stations, at any
# the day, for all destinations,
has been followed since the
days Of railroading, will be
red.
., two most important features of
f1a law plan for handling less than
rarirad freight are:
y The Inauguration Of shipping
gE-or substantially sailing dates"
In which cars will depart from va
u1gs points of origin to specified des-
tina1 ms; freight will be accepted on
tha roper shipping days only, and
I4Is ears will sail as specified.
The designation of particular sta
tions at which freight will be eX-
elusively received for specified desti-
nations; freight for such points will be
accepted at the stations named only.
The new plan represents the results
Of prolonged investigation, conducted
by the transportation and traffic Of
hcers OF the Pennsylvania Railroad,
for the purpose Of determining the
best practical means of obtaining in
creased efficiency and despatch in the
handling of less than carload freight.
The primary purposes for the adop-
ton Of the new method are:
!. Elimination of delay incident to re-
handling OF freight, under the present
methods Of consolidating small ship
ments into full carloads at transfer
stations; this will give the shipper
quicker service than is possible under
the old method.
2 Conservation Of car supply by
effecting better average loading than
is possible under the transfer system;
this will increase the cars available
for commercial freight, as well as
government supplies.
3. Reduction in the number Of car
and train movements required to
transport a given volume of freight;
this will increase the capacity of the
whole railroad plant, and will release
trackage and locomotives for the
movement of troops, government sup
plies and commercial freight.
4. improvement in the regularity of
freight service by systematizing and
simplifying operation; this will result
from the elimination of a large pro-
portion Of the complicated re-handling
Of freight, which is now unavoidable,
with the attendant liability to
damage
II is the belief Of the management
Of the railroad that the proposed
change will increase the efficiency,
promptness and regularity of the
freight service, and will commend it.
self to shippers as facilitating the
conduct Of their business.
