Washington, Nov. S-Characterizins
all strikes as industrial barbarisrn, %
and declaring that there is no place
in this eountry either for industrial
despotis,.1 or labor despotisn, the Sen
ate Committee submitted report to-
day criticizing both the strikers and
their employers. The committee'c
main conclusion was that ''the public
has the right to determine that capital
shall not arrogare to itself the right to
determine in its own way those indus
trial questions, and it is the same as
to labor, and the duty is upon Con-
gress to provide some way for ad-
justing these difficulties. The report
recommends that Congress authorize
the establishment Of some such me-
diation agency with the well defined
powers as the recently dissolved war
labor board.

WAR RISK VICTOR
|. IN AMATEUR GAME
Defeats Southern, 5 to 2, in
Opening Game for Dis
trict Diamond Title.


War Risk drew first blood in the
opening game of the Amateur Base
Ball Association series for the cham
pionship of the District yesterday,
when it defeated Southern. winner
of the championship in the Southern
Railway League. by to 2. The War
Risk nine is in the series as the title
holder of the Departmental League.
Two factors concerning the game
went contrary to expectations. In the
first place War Risk did not have
the walkaway that generally was
looked for, and in the second an .ex-
ceptionally large crowd turned out
to watch the play. War Risk has
been playing so much better ball than
other amateur teams in the city that
it was thought 1t would have things
easy against Southern. However, the
raiiroaders gave the government men
a real fight.
MANY factors, it has been observed
by several followers Of the sport,
would work against large attend
ance, but il yesterdays contest Is
true criterion, one Of the best series
in point of attendance In years Is
likely to be played. Incidentally, the
series probably will develop lot OF
good base ball, because Navy Yard
and Naval Operations, yet to appear
are strong.

EARLY LEAD AVA|LS
MISUNDERSTANDING
Harper Starts Well, But
"BIoWs" and Allows Browns
e to Score Freely.
GRlFFMEN LOSE BY4T011
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

ST. LOUIS. August eat was a
tough day for the eastern entrants in
the American League and tougher
one for the original tough luck guy.
Harry Harper. The southpaw started
against the Browns as if to throw off
the shackles of the jinx that has been
camping on his trail most all season.
He allowed only two hits in the first
four frames, in which period he car
ried five of the enemy over the strike
out route, but when he slipped into
his old habit of wildness in the fifth
and forced over a run with trio or
passes Foster inserted wild heave
and the stuff was all off. Before the
three legal outs could be registered
seven alien runners had toed the plate,
and before the Burkemen got through
with Erickson, who followed Harper,
their total of tallieS was boosted to
eleven.
This seemed all the more regrettable
in view of the fact that the Griffs had
jostled Bert Gallia, the former Grin-
man for a quartet of counters up to
the time the deluge came.
They seemed to have the former
Nationals number and a festive after
noon of batting was in prospect. But
Gallia is one of the best little front
runners in the business. and, given a
comfortable lead, he frightened like a
clam and permitted only three hits
and no tallies in the final five frames.
Any laundering suspicion that Nc
Bride used poor judgment in not IN
serting Erickson earlier than ne ala
is removed by a peruSal of what nap
pened to the Swede. The four wallops
he was combed for included a pair OF
home runs, a triple and double. How
the Browns did pestle that onion
eleven bingles for total of twenty
four bases,
Shanks brought his record for con-
secutive hitting up to eleven games,
and Leonard and Judge had profit
able afternoon of it in a sticking way.
Outside of that the pastime embraced
little of comfort for the much abused
Nationals.
