RUGER GIANTS
DEFEAT STARS
IN CLOSE ONE
Cummings Wins Third Straight
Game When McCIain Scores
Winning Run on Hit

Pitcher Cummings of the Ruger
Giants is the leading pitcher Of the
islands, If one wants to go into sta
tistics. He has won three straight
games in Honolulu, and has yet to be
defeated. Yesterday afternoon he
won another game at .Moiliili, aided
and abetted by the titian-haired toss
ers, McGavin and McClain. The ALI
Stars won out by score OF to IN
bang-up exciting game.
There must be a slight trace OF
Irish in Cummings, as the red
matched pair, McClain and McGavin
responded when Erin Go Bragh" was
sounded. As far as real dyed in the
wool baseball was concerned, the Red
Cross exhibition wasn't the best In
the world, but for excitement the
game was one worth while, and the
few fans who gathered to watch the
exhibition went nome perfectly salts
fled.
Came From Behind
When the first half Of the sixth had
passed the All-Stars were leading by
a score of Z to l. 1t looked like
cinch the rest of the way, and many
fans believed it to be thus, but Kruger
was on a different trend. They start
ed the fireworks gazing before long,
and the An-Stars were reminded that
one should not tabulate the Plymouth
Rocks before the christening.
Brinza was on the firing line for
the Stars, and remained on the mound.
He was not so effective as in his last
appearance, although Ruger has been
practising hitting the ball, and they
did hit occasionally. Cummings was
nicked for IL hits and ChillingWorth,
Maddis and Dunlap each gathered
trio. Chilly slammed out triple with
three men on bases, and everybody
scored.
Chilly Cleans Sacks
The Stars scored twice in the sec,
ond when Dunlap, Maddis and Flizer
hit in succession. Singles by Davis
and Johnson, with a sacrifice, gave
the Giants one run in the third. Dun
lap started the sixth with a single,
Maddis doubled; Flizer walked ana
Salmons sacrifice scored Dunlap.
Maddis was caught at the plate after
Brinza had walked and Chilly came
up with the sacks choked. He hit
a hard drive which Bailey misJudged
and the ball went for three bases,
Chilly came around on an error, Civ
ing the All-Stars five runs.
That was all the scoring made by
the Stars during the afternoon. The
Rugerites scored three times IN the
sixth when Chilly let two drives go
through him, coupled with a double
by Bailey and Cummings homer over
the left field fence. Hits by Stew
art and Davis, sacrifice fly by Brint-
nall and Salmon's error gave the
Giants two runs in the eighth. They
needed one run to tie, and two to-
win, and Bailey singled and went to
third when Dunlap lost the ball. He
scored when McGavin dropped Mod
dis throw. Benham continued to
third and scored when Red McClatn
responded with timely bingle.
He Left the Gate Open
Maddis, played a pretty game at
third, and Davis also showed up IN
excellent style at short. Chilly had
a real day off, and spilled the ball on
three occasions. The Rugerites be-
lieve that with Cummings right
they can give the Wreckers a merry
battle. A contest between these two
teams at the present ought to be
worth while.

Subway and Trailers.

Commissioner Gardiner in an address
before the Southeast Washington Citi-
zens' Association last night indicated
that the Commissioners are considering
the project of subway system to re-
lieve the street railway congestion here.
This is the ultimate proposal whenever
the subject is considered with view to
relieving the great and growing de-
mands on the existing street car lines.
But subway system is not solution
of the immediate problem. 1t could not
possibly be completed, if authorized at
the next session of Congress, within two
or three years. Meanwhile very real
and urgent necessity exists for relief.
1t is declared on behalf of the street
railway companies that they cannot in
crease their service in the rush hours
materially beyond the present point
owing to the eonvergence of lines in
the downtown section. Yet it is to be
noted that cars are being added from
time to time, the Capital Traction Com
pany just having announced its second
addition within short period. AS The
Star lately observed, on some Of the
lines there are intervals between ears
so long as to warrant the proposal to
run additional cars at least to the edge
of the congested District, to bring pas
sengers TO within comparatively short
distance of their destination.
| In these conditions the once familiar
trailer car is to be considered as pos
sible means of relief 1t is not an ideal
mode of transit. Indeed, it has numer-
GUS objections, but it is better than cars
packed to the steps and cars that will
not stop, or no cars at all. The trailer
train, of almost double the capacity Of
the single car, could be operated with
crew Of three men-a fact of impor-
tance in view Of the shortage Of labor
cited by the traction companies as the
reason for not materially increasing the
service.
While Washington is waiting for the
subway, which is yet to be planned and
authorized, some relief must be granted
from the intolerable conditions that
prevail morning and evening, condi-
tions that are growing worse as the city
rapidly increases in population.
Evening star., 1917-11-28
Honor the American Heroes.

One of the first things undertaken by
Congress at the next session should be
the creation of an order of merit to be
bestowed promptly and directly upon
the men in uniform who perform deeds
of conspicuous valor in this war. This
should be special badge of honor ere
ated for the present campaign, equal
in its significance to the Victoria Cross
or the distinguished service order" of
the British and the War Cross of the
French. 1t should be possible. further
more. for these decorations to be grant
ed without the necessity of n special act
of Congress, such as is required IN the
bestowal of the now authorized medals
of honor. When an American soldier
does particularly gallant deed his
spirit and service should be quickly
recognized. in the presence of his com
rades, while the memory of his achieve
ment is fresh, not long afterward.
In addition TO the creation of a spe
cial medal of valor for this campaign
Congress should repeal or at least amend
the law forbidding the acceptance by
American soldiers and sailors of deco
rations from foreign governments.
Lately both England and France have
bestowed tokens of appreciation for gal
liant deeds upon number of men in
the military and naval service, but un-
der the law they cannot be accepted
and worn. Special acts of Congress are
necessary to permit the receipt and dis
play of these badges of appreciation by
foreign governments of American cour-
age and valuable service. 1t is natural
that the governments at London and
Paris and Rome should desire to recog-
nize meritorious deeds by our men,
their allies and aids in their great strug-
gle for preservation, and the American
Congress can do no less than make it
possible for our soldiers and sailors,
thus honored, to accept and display
these tokens Of gratitude.
While, of course, America expects
every man to do his duty and looks for
valorous deeds as a matter of course,
those who distinguish themselves in the
fight should nevertheless receive as
promptly as possible some mark of ap-
probation which they can wear with
pride and pass to their families.

Deadly Taxicab Speed.

In the enforcement of the traffic rules
special attention must be given to the
drivers of taxicabs and other public
vehicles, who have seemingly decided
that the law is not written for them, but
that they have right of way through
the streets at any speed they wish to
make. Many of the accidents are at
tributable to this recklessness on the
part of the public vehicle drivers. The
other evening woman was knocked
down at a crossing and badly injured by
taxicab which was going at high rate
of speed over the intersection and which
was rushed away without any notice to
the victim. If the driver of this ma
chine can be identifed-and it should
not be impossible if record is kept of
every call and taxicab movement-he
should be given the maximum punish
ment. For until the utmost penalty pre-
scribed by the regulations is applied to
these drivers they will probably persist
in ignoring the rules and adding to the
already grave dangers in the streets of
Washington. Particular pains should be
taken by the police in checking up cases
of taxicab speeding, whether accidents
result or not, since there is a spe-
eial temptation on the part of these
drivers to rush their machines, in
asmuch as their earnings depend
upon the number of trips they can
make in day. At certain corners the
most careful pedestrian is constantly in
peril from this source

Villa is the man and enemy. He has
made a good deal of noise. and is bent
on making more. To hunt him and his
hacker or hackers down. and put an end
to al that they represent, should be a
leading purpose of the Mexican authori-
ties. The Pcrshing expedition, being on

vantages. But the regular Mexican

sales arc distinctly prohibited and pun
ishable.
Last nights arrests were under an
old law which is obviously inadequate
in itself to stop the illicit traffic in
liquor in Washington. The mere label
ing Of suit case full Of whisky with
the name Of the contents evades that
statute. Presumably, however, close
watch is being kept upon those who are
going to Baltimore for the purpose Of
bringing liquor into Washington in
quantities, for it may be assumed that
this is a business. If such persons are
found selling here no amount of con-
tainer labelling will prevent conviction
and punishment.

Combining Against Disloyalty.

the action Of the executive managers of
The democratic national committee in
providing for possible combination with
republicans on legislative candidates to
defeat disloyalism. Wherever the ugly
head Of disloyalty appears in candi-

republican or a democratic club is to

Running Liquor Into Washington.

Running Liquor Into Washington.
Ever since the prohibition law went
into effect in the District travel be-
tween here and Baltimore has greatly
increased, owing, it has been evident,
to the fact that at the latter city liquor,
barred from sale here, can be obtained.
This traffic has not been wholly for the
purpose of personal indulgence in Bal
timore or for the replenishment Of per-
sonai stocks here. That fact was made
evident by the seizure Of over coo
quarts Of whisky Last night in . series
Of arrests on the electric cars on arrival
from Baltimore, when sixty.one persons
were taken into custody on charge Of
Transporting Intoxicating liquors in con-
veyors not plainly marked on the out
side with the character Of their contents.
The average of ten quarts of whisky
to a person is virtually conclusive evi.
dence that these goods were brought
here for sale, and It may be deduced
that similar sales have been In progress
ever since the beginning Of local pro-
hibition.
The so-called Reed amendment to the
post Office appropriation act prohibited
the carrying Of Intoxicating liquors into
prohibition areas. Tho statute has been
interpreted a. not including the District
Of Columbia, owing to the fact that the
word Estates" was alone used. Advan.
