Charges that government property
was hauled away from Muscle Shoals
IN carload lots were made yesterday
by W. II. McCaTy, of Birmingham, form
erly employed by the department Of
Justice as an investigator. Chairman
Graham indicated today that the COM
mittee would look further into the tes-
tlmony of McCary that houses at Mus
cle Shoals were knocked down and
cRrted away to be erected again for
citizens at East Florence, and that q
big business structure at Sheffield was
built with brick stolen and secretly
moved In carload lots from the plant.
The builders claim that if there was
any waste 1t was due to haste in get
ting the nitrate plants in shape to
turn out explosives during the war
According to William Il. Watkins, Of
birmingham, formerly a policeman at
Muscle Shoals, nobody cared how things
went because OF the general feeling
that the builders got a commission on
every dollar paid the men"
i've often tod people," Watkins tes-
titled, that nothing on this green

'YANKS SET new.
.RECORDFOR AL
Fourteen Runs, in One In
ming Best for Circuit
National Has Seen l8.
by GEORGE L. MoRELAND.

The scoring of fourteen, runs in
a single inning by the New York
Yanks yesterday set up a new rec
ord for the American League. Not
since this league has been organized
has any club scored that many runs
in one round.
But the record made yesterday
does not establish a new major
league record. The fact Is that
Washington holds a similar record,
made when they were in the Ma
tional League.
On July II, 1891. when Washing
ton and Baltimore were both mem
bers of the National League, WASH
ington scored fourteen runs in the
first inning. having sixteen hits to
their credits in the same inning.
One was good for a home run and
two were doubles.
National Record Is IS.
The record for all clubs in the
major leagues is held by Chicago.
On September 6, 1888, Chicago
scored eighteen runs against De-
troit' in the seventh inning. Tom
Burns, who played short for the
winners, was at bat three times and
made a home run and two doubles
in the inning.
The total score of yesterday Is
not out of the ordinary Except the
one inning in which New York
scored the fourteen runs).) Wash
ington has been in many games in
which large scores were made by
the winning team. while the loser
failed to get a run home.
The local team has lost games in
which they failed to score by larger
scores than yesterday and two of
the games were won by Pittsburg
by scores of 10 to 0. The first
game was played in this city on
July Is, 1898. and the second game
in Pittsburg July 8. 1896.
Same Score Once Before.
In a game played in this city
April "a. 1909. the same teams that
played yesterday were on the dia-
mond, the result was exactly the
same score. II to 0, and the same
team captured the game.
But the worst defeat, ever handed
the locals was played June Is, 1887
at Chicago. when the team under
Capt. Anson crossed the home plate
twenty times while the Nationals
have never scored yet.
So why worry our young lives
about losing a game by a measly
score of II to 0.

ATHLETICS PROTEST
DREADNAUGHT GAME

The Athletic clubmen of Wash
ington feel that they have a pro-
test coming to them because of the
treatment received during their
holiday game with the Dreadnaught
Athletic Club of Alexandria at
Alexandria, Va. The following let
ter is self-explanatory:
Sporting Editor. Herald:
Dear sir-I wish to enter a protest against
the treatment that the Athletics received at
the hands of the Dreadnaughts at Alex
andria last Monday.
While the game lasted the umpire rem
dered half a dozen decisions that were so
one-sided as TO draw boots from the fair
minded fans present. In the third inning
with out and a runner on third, our
pitcher, expecting a bunt, ran In with his
delivery. After taking the ball from the
ca tcher the Athletics pitcher turned his
Dreadnaughts runner thinking to take ad-
vantage Of the moment made n break for
the plate. The pitcher. who was i've feet
from the pitchers ruber turned and threw
to Catcher Stevens, who was sta anding on
the plate. The Dreadnaughts batter jumped
in front Of Stevens and striking at the ball
knocked Stevens glove from his hand caus-
ing him to miss an es1y out. The umpire
sent the runner back to third, but did not
call the batter out for interference, as the
rules state he should have done.
In the last half of the seventh with the
score SIS. Dreadnaughts ba tier hit one to
right field which we claim was foul by six
feet and the Athletics right fielder discon-
tinued his efforts to get the ball back into
the diamond, leaving II TO be thrown in by
some of the crowd who were near the ball
where ii was hit. In the meantime the
Dreadnaughts hitter made his way around
the bases. Later the umpire changed his
decision to fair ball and the run so inglori-
ously made counted against us.
In the next inning, yann Of the Athletics
hitting and n runner on second, the umpire
called two strikes which were foot high
The Athletics manager, Blantson. entered
the diamond to protest and Vann retired
from the ba ter's box. Pitcher Quayle, OF
the Dreadna ughts. then threw the ball which
the umpire called n strike. There Is no
rule in ba seball where a strike can be called
on a ba tier who Is not in the batter's box,
to say nothing Of the fact that on captain
was in the middle Of the diamond entering
q protest
At this junctnre we asked for another
umpire which the Dreadnaughts refused TO
give. So we left the field.
We think we have a better hall team than
they have and are willing to back our ne
lief with real United States money, Slo
cash sample OF which we are leaving with
the Sporting Editor Of The Herald as a for-
felt for our guarantee to be on hand with
more real money at any time the Deao-
nsughts say they wish to meet us to arrange
for another game. All we ask is mutuai
field and a neutral umpire. Very trnE'
