Seventeen Safe Swats

Cicotte will long remember the
drubbing given him on his last ap-
pearance in the capital for the dura-
tion of the war. a total of seventeen
safeties, including a triple and a
trio of doubles, was combed off his
delivery. Every member of the local
team made the circuit of bases at
least once and registered one or more
safe hits. while Joe Judge cracked
out four safe drives, getting two of
them in one inning. the eighth, the
most profitable single session the
Nationals have enjoyed in many
moon. The only Griffman who failed
to bingle in this round was Hovlik.
A total of nine safeties was recorded,
good for seven runs. and six of the
hits were made in succession before
a single man was retired.
Roy Whitford, one of Bryan Morse's
most promising statistical students.
is authority for the statement that
Cicotte delivered only sixteen called
balls in the course of the fray. This
may or may not be so. We were too
busy marvelirig at the unusual meas
ure of success the shine ball expert
had in hitting the Nationals bats.
1t was apparent from the outset
that it was not Cicotte's day, Fosters
single, Judges double and Shanks'
sacrifice fly giving the locals a run
in the initial inning. Singles by Judge
and Milan and Shanks' double netted
two more in the fourth and another
brace of counters was added in the
fifth when Hoylik. Foster and Milan
hit safely.
This ended the scoring until that
Juicy eighth, which Judge opened with
safety. Joe TOOK third and Milan
second when Pinelli fired Zeb's hit
past Gandil and both registered on
Sehulte's triple to right center. The
latter scored on Shanks' single. How.
ward stole second and reached the
plate on Lavan's rap to left. Pici-
nich's safety to right advanced John
a notch and after Hovlcnned- both

AMERICANS SMASH
 AT ST. M|H|EL PUT
 TERROR IN GERMANS
Says Senator. Hamilton Lewis on Return From the Scene of the Big
 Battle.

New York, Sept. 9O.-The smash. ing of the St. Mihiel salient by the American army has filled Germany with terror and is the sure fOre- runner of an overthrow of the Prus. sian domination by the German pe0- pie, according to an opinion eX- pressed here today by Senate rJames Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. who has just returned from France and England.
 The German rulers, Senator Lewis said, are aware that the people of Germany have awakened to a realiz. ation of the power of General Per- shing's troops, and ''the spirit of German mOnarchs and military cap. tains has been shattered'' by this knowledge.
 France and Great Britain, he added. freely admit that the entrance of American fighters into the fray has turned the tide.
 Premier Clemenceau told him, the senator said, that America's prOwess was ''the salvation Of the 'h0ur.' while the British prime minister de- ,clared that 'sthe influence of Presf- dent Wilson and America upon the institutions of Britain and the spirit of her people was equivalent in It. self to q new British army

'CONGRESS PASSED 1 LARGEST TAX BILL 1 HISTORY OF NATION Revenue Bill of Nearly
 Nine Billion Dollars Is Adopted. $50 VOTE YEA AND NONE NO All Possible Speed Through
 Senate Is Assured and Will Be Law In a
 Few Days.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept 20.-The house late today passed the war revenue bill, designed to raise by taxation ap- proximately $8,1S2,00O,000 of the twenty four or more billions needed by the nation for the current year. The huge measure-the largest of it's kind in the history of any nation now goes to the senate.
 Passage of the bill was unanimous. A formal roll call, demanded by Majority Leader Kitchin, recorded $50 yeas and no nays, which announced by Speaker Clark, was greeted with g roar of cheers and applause. All possible speed in the bill's course through the senate is assured, according to leaders, the senate fin ance committee having concluded for mai hearings.
 Desire for the bills enactment be- fore the November elections has been expressed by leaders of both houses, but considered doubtfpl. Consideration of the measure by the house today today prior to the vote was brief.
 An amendment by the house ways and means committee which drafted the bill, extending the depletion all lowances to gas and oil wells and mines to include climber and other natural deposits" was adopted.
 Representative Moore of Pennsyl- vania, Republican renewed his pro- war expenditures, but it was dispos- other amendment offered by MT. Mo0,,o fo,, jo hc,x k~ .~. vestigate means of preventing waste full expenditures.
 Representative Good of Iowa, Re- publican made vigorous but futile flight for his amendment to provide $3,50O exemption from income taxes for persons serving in the military es- tablishment overseas instead of limit ing the exemption as proposed in the bill to government salaries. A substi< tute amendment by Representative Austin of Tennessee, Republican, to exempt all privates from income taxa tiOn also was rejected.
 An amendment in the interest of wine producers drafted and approved by the treasury department and of fered by representative Kahn of Cali fornia, was enied consideration be- cause of objections by representative Stafford, of Wisconsin, Republican.
 It provided that wine growers could extract alcohol from wine and sell non-alcoholic beverages.
 Just before the final vote, repres- entative Longworth of Ohio, Repub- lican, characterized the bill as al mighty good job" and said tt would "sh0w that the American heart is grimly set on carrying the war thu to the finish and is the best answer the American congress can give to the whining peace proposal from Aus tria."
