Montreal. July 24.-The Virginians
drew first blood by taking the opening
game Of the series here with the Roy
ais. in an uninteresting contest fea-
tured by the wildness of the hurlers
and the slowness Of the fray. A total
or twenty-three players were used by
both sides in an effort to get the de-
Gliding count, thirteen virsinians and
ten Royals facing the slants Of the
pitchers. who were exceptionally gen.
erous giving nineteen free passes to
the f1rst station. The Royals. however,
would not touch the visiting pitchers
for more than seven hits. the latter
coming with men on the bags. Man
ager knabe started Enright who
lasted four and one-third innings and
retired in favor Of Donohue, who in
turn was replaced by Young. Adams
finished the game. holding the Royals
safe In the last inning. Stryker and
Quincy were on the mound for the To-
calls of whom the Virginians secured
fourteen hits. Bankston led the heavy
artillery for them getting three safe
ties out of four trips to the plate. Nc
Gaffigan, Clemens. Knabe and Rey-
nolds each pounded the pill twice.
Damrau was the only Royal who Sc
cured two hits, both OF them being
home runs. The visitors secured an
early lead which they held throughout
the contest, although menaced on sew
eral occasions by the local team in an
effort to tie UP the score. Hack Eibel
has been granted leave of absence for
several days by Manager Knabe to
visit his home town, and George Dis
tell held down the initial sack in good
fashion. The box score follows:

Cas Meters, Heads of Cheese. Cocoa

Things Are Found Useful.

washington, July 2+.-Frank r
Doctor, of Topeka, Kansas. who is now
In washington. is authority for the
statement that federal agents are en-
forcing the new prohibition laws very
rigidly in the West Mr., Doctor said
along these, lines:
Particularly have the federal agents
bean active in those sections close TO
army posts. Some wonderful schemes
for getting whiskey into Kansas at
different points have been discovered;
how, the government sleuths will not
tell. bu, Il would seem almost irpos-
sible to ferret out some Of the care
fully laid plans for lodging the au-
thorities.
For instance, recently shipment
of gas meters was seized and 1t was
found that the inner mechanism was
missing and the meters Allied with
whi.key. ten-gailon shipment. OF
whiskey was found in barrel OF
pitch. Inside head OF cheese was a
copper tank containing whiskey, but
the cleverest Of all schemes. I think,
was that Of filling cocoanuts with the
intoxicants. The cocoanuts had been
carefully drilled where the eyes had
been. the milk taken out and the
shells allied with whiskey.
Then the eyes were closed up ana
tinted. so that only the closest In
xpection could discover the fraud.
don't know how the government
agents got on to this trick, but they
did just the same
