BUSINESS MEN

What Was Virtually a

OVER $100 RAISED FOR

Business Men Change Pitchers Four
Times To Keep Opposing Batsmen
Guessing

With the teams playing with almost
professional" skill, and with the close
and low score of only l and /, several
hundred of the local baseball fans
watched in breathless suspense and
dust the frantic, nip-and-tuck struggle
Between the business and professional
men on the local National league dia-
mond Wednesday afternoon.
1t is true that the above score was
only that of the first inning and after
that the scoring became what one
could safely call lively. In fact, there
was so much base running that at
times the air was filled with dust and
the fielders apparently had trouble in
seeing the ball. At one time in the
fourth inning there were four men on
bases.
1t would be out of the question to
attempt to mention all the brilliant
plays. Sensational home runs by
Carow, Volkman and Slime will make
the names of these promising Babe
Ruths 60 laundering down the years

put him permanently in the lime-light
as wizard Of the national game.
Phil Griffin pitched the entire game
for the professionals. while the bust
ness men had four different twirlers
in the box and kept their opponents so
bewildered by going up against new
deliveries that they only ran in "a
scores. This was enough to win, how
ever, as the business men only got %
runs chalked UP, but this was largely
due, no doubt, to the umpire, Dr. Lea,
who would naturally have preference
for the professional men, We suspect
that the real score was considerably
larger than the modest total of 62 as
given, but the boys at the score board
used uD all the number markers they
had, and, using chalk after that, finally
ran out of chalk.
The winning pitcher was Doyle for
the business men, for he pitched when
the professionals won the game. Af
ter he had pitched for two innings the
professionals were all tagged ont
from running the bases, and after that
the business men started catching up
and would have won the game if the
game had lasted long enough-and the
other fellows had let them.

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS

Regular annual teachers examina-

Schools office this week, between 10
and 20 teachers writing. Years ago
more than 90 per cent of the teachers
wrote at the teachers examination for
their credentials to teach, but under
changed laws and changed conditions
the great majority of teachers hold
certificates entitling them to teach
from normal schools and other schools
and universities, which certificates are
fled in the superintendent office, re-
lieving that official of much drudgery
and permitting him to use his time to
better general advantage.

The two cities, but such as cater TO

persons employed in Washington.
And. besides, it is necessary to get
OF or off such trains at the union

Ear from the homes of most local
travellers. In order to use such trains
upon return trips from Washington
It would be necessary to board the

such trains render it impossible FOR

1t is said that the first increase
made in rates by the electric railway
company resulted in diminished re-

the price of tickets may produce
similar fruits.
The movement, however, may
