NOTES OF THE GAME

Colonel Kelly certainly did
romp around second base in fine
style, picking up everything within
reach and in addition he was at bat
five times; reached base five times,
and scored five times. Five seems
to be "Colonels" lucky number.
Joe Patterson doesn't seem to
have lost his old batting eye, judg-
ing by the way he soaked the old
apple" Monday night. At bat five
times he poled out, triple, two
Dagger and three singles. Not so
bad for an old bootmaker.
Pants" Dewitt sure does put up a
great game at short, hopping up
everything in sight and besides, he
yields a wicked bat. We have great
hopes for the boy. You're doing
fine, Pants, keep it up.
Jonas Parrish is coming along in
fine style and it would not surprise
us to see him on the big team be-
fore long.
Chris Jurgeson gave us good
laugh when he stopped grounder
with his head, We are pleased to re-
port it did not damage the ball.
Harry Wigart had the misfortune
to have his finger nail torn loose
by a pitched ball and was COM
PEELED to turn over the receiving
responsibilities to Naylor, but you
can't keep a good man down, as he
finished the game in the right gar
den, later knocking the pill for a
hit which chased in three runs. Good
boy, Harry.

BOofmakers On TOP
Hang 20-3 Defeat on Readings
Ruf-Nex''

In an Inter-departmental League
game Monday evening, the Bottles
soundly trounced the Gum Cutters
by the one-sided score of 20-3.
The Dummies were the first to
draw blood by combining base on
balls, two hits and an error, in the
first inning, which Melted them two
runs, but the Bottles then came
back strong in their half and forged
ahead with four runs. After this
they were never in danger.
Everything went smoothly until
the Fatal Fifth" when the Makers
fell on Minor and buried the Cutters
under veritable landslide of hits.
These smashes coupled with numer-
Gus errors resulted in thirteen runs.
After two men had been retired the
game was called on account of rain.
Purcell twirled fine game for
the Makers allowing but five hits.
Minor, of the Cutters pitched good
ball until the fifth, when it appear
ed as though the entire team went
to pieces.
Patterson and Purcell starred for
the winners, while pant" Dewitt led
the Cutters both in the field and at
bat

Knights and More knights.

1t Is announced from Atlanta that
Col. William Joseph Stmmons. founder
OF the ku Klux Kan, has resigned as
emperor and as O klansman and dis
posed OF all his interests in the order
for consideration Of $4,000 in cash.
He has signed q contract to cease all
opposition to the Khan and the regime
of Hiram w. Evans. and to abstain
from taking part in any movement to
"disorganize, disrupt or in any way in
terfere with or cause dissatisfaction
among members Of the Klan." At the
same time 1t was stated In Atlanta
that the retiring emperor had placed
himself at the head Of q new organi.
cation known as the knights of the
Flaming Sword"
1t is now to be seen whether this
arrangement will result in a complete
quieting Of the factional troubles in
the Khan, or in the establishment of

lake would be land and ridges that
are higher than the top Of the dam.
Over the dam or through it the river
would flow over the rocks at Great
Falls and rush along the gorge to feed
another lake.
At Little Falls, or close to Chain
bridge, would also be a dam lis feet
high. Behind that would rise a lake
which would reach upstream for about
seven miles orr to a point near the
mouth Of the gorge below Great Falls.
The lake would engulf scenery with

rock masses over which Washing.
tonians have worn trails and where
they have lighted camphres would
vanish and the canyon-like mouths of
many creeks would become arms OF
the lake. But there would be com.
pensation for this.
Along the Virginia side of the river
between Little and Great Falls is

spoken Of az "the Great Falls power

power Of Great Falls into electric en-.

be disturbed. They will tumble on as
they do now and have been doing for
many thousand years. though, Of
course. the falls have not always been
where they are. Once the big falls
must have been near where George.

Macdonald Faces Parliament,

1t must have been with relief, not
unmingled with surprise, that con-
sentative and liberal members Of the
British parliament heard J. Ramsay
Macdonald make his maiden speech
as head Of the new labor government
All the dreaded portents Of labor rule
We're conspicuous by their absence.
The prime minister's utterances were
as dignified, as calm and as reassuring
as would have been the words Of Mr..
Baldwin or Mr.. Asquith. Except for
immediate recognition Of the soviet
government OF Russia there was little
In the program he outlined to which
both conservatives and liberals could
not subscribe.
Greatest interest conferred. perhaps.
in his discussion Of taxation. He made
no mention of a capital levy, which
shows that the labor leaders are prac.
tical men intending to deal in a prac-
tical manner with affairs of govern
ment. They know that, being g.
minority party, they could get no levy
mons; therefore they refrain from dis.
turbing agitation Of hopeless cause.
Instead, it is proposed that a commits.
sion shall study the whole field OF ma
tional debt and taxation with q view
to determining to what extent present
levies are retarding the recovery Of
business. The most conservative of
the conservatives could not ask for
a more conservative attitude.
Mr.. Macdonald very cleverly evaded
threatened embarrassment over recon-.
mendations Of the recent imperial
conference. This conference, fathered
by the Baldwin government, had put
out program to which labor did not
subscribe. But to have rejected It
outright would have been an affront
to the dominions, which might have
resulted in serious estrangement. So
Mr.. Macdonald announced that all
recommendations Of the imperial con-
ference will be submitted to parlia.
ment, without either being. indorsed
Or opposed by the government. In
other words. the buck is passed
along to parliament.
1t may be that the Macdonald gov.
eminent is destined to be short-iived.
but after the showing made yesterday
by spokesman for the ministry it
would seem as il both conservatives
and liberals would prefer to let things
go along as they are rather than force
an early appeal to the country or
bring about situation in which one
Or the other Of the old parties would
be called upon to take up the reins
OF government without a supporting
majority in parliament.
