4111A GIdfC1-WCdIy Ud1 CluUS-
- four American and four Ma
tional League teams-were
back in their own back yards
today with knapsacks loaded with a
lot of Soiled linen, which might indi-
cate poverty. On the contrary, how
ever, it heralds one of the most sue
cessful financial seasons in history.
The boys have the money to have
their shirts and socks laundered but
they haven't time to spend it.
Few people may have realized it but
our Nationals, for instance, helped to
make history when they took off on
that final Western swing. In one brief
week the Washington ball club, like
other Eastern teams in the American
League and the Western outfits in
the National League, negotiated a
partial swing of the circuit.
In the case of the Mats, they
invaded Detroit, Cleveland,
Chicago and St. Louis and
reached home on the day that,
only week previous, they ar
rived in the West.
It's all because of the new schedule
put in effect for the 1896 campaign,
a slate that revolutionized major
league base ball. Instead of taking
three trips to the West, or to the East,
as the case may be, the teams made
four jaunts. Instead of most series
lasting four days they lasted only
three The final Western-Eastern in
vasions, for the most part, comprised
only two-game series.
Hotel Managers Dismayed.
THE noble experiment has produced
myriad complications. Hotel men
have viewed the new schedule with
dismay. Railroads have hailed it with
great glee Ball players have looked
upon it with disfavor but the smarter
boys realize that it is a necessary
evil and are philosophic.
Club owners have wondered
why it has taken all these years
to think of this newest path
out of the wilderness of empty
seats and hollow Golfers.
Definitely, the new f1y-by- might
schedule has been a success and it Is
almost certain to be used again next
year. 1t has cost the major league
club owners approximately $4,000
extra per year to send their teams on
these more frequent excursions but
the harvests they have reaped as q
result have made the Investments
more profitable.
Records for attendance were set up
in both leagues. The Giants and
Cardinals drew upward of $4,000 in
the Polo Grounds. Washington and
the Yankees drew a similar crowd in
Col. Ruperts stadium for a season
record in the American League. Fans
find that interest Is maintained more
easily by having the teams constantly

livery club in the American
- League, with the exception Of the
White Sox, will show tremendous in
creases in attendance figures. Wash
ington is one of the clubs that will re-
veal a standout swing upward. At
home the Nationals have done
extremely well, with two records
smashed. On opening day a mark
for the Capital inaugural was estab-
lished with 31,0Ge filling Griffith
Stadium.
On July a record for a nom
world series game in Washing
ton was set when the Yankees
were played q double-header.
Vacant seats were not exactly
plentiful on Labor day, when
the Red SOx invaded.
Away from their home the Griffs
prospered again. On Patriots day, in
Boston, they drew a near-capacity
crowd. In Detroit they drew well
earlier in the season, as they did in
Cleveland. The only really bad break
the Griffith A. c. got during the en-
tire year was last Sunday in Chicago,
when upward of $4,000 would have
watched the heralded second-place
showdown" between the White Sox
and Washington. The double header
was rained out, and moved to Monday,
when 10000 turned out.
One Of the confirmed believ-
ers in the new schedule is Clark
Griffith, whose words bear
weight in the American League.
Griff says the new eat-on-the-run
schedule is here for keeps, and he
should provide true barometer on
what will happen when the moguls
of the majors gather this Winter for
their annual meeting to smoke each
others cigars, swap talent and dis
cuss a continuation of the new slate.

He Will Do Until ..

IT IS worth considering, that ability
of Chapman to reach base. Con-
slider, if you please. an unusual 60
game record for Ben in National
uniform. Since joining the club he
has reached first base nearly every
other time he stepped to the plate,
on an average. Every fifth time he
walks up, he scores. Nor does this in
clude the times he gets on base by
fielders' choices - forcing another
runner.
Getting statistical for the moment,
Ben has faced pitchers approximately
437 times as a Griffman. He got 125
base hits and &c bases on balls. He
was hit by a pitched ball once and
five other times he was safe on
errors.
In short, Ben reached base 1877
times out of a possible 437 for per-
centage of .451. If this sort of an
approximate average, plus the fact
that Chapman leads the leagues lead
of hitters in driving across runs, does
not place him at the top, then he
will do until a better lead-of hitter
crosses BHcky Harris path.

Such are the questions being
asked by Government officials
connected with economics in any
form. Their imagination has been
touched by the spectacular nature
of the distribution of the baby

about the disposition of the huge

STAINS GUILTY
IN JAIL CASE

HAGERSTOWN, Md, May %.
George Stains, a dependent in
the "attic prison" case, was con-
victed of contributing to the de-
linquency of minor children by
Judge Frank G. Wagaman in
circuit court here.
Mrs. Virginia Daley, mother Of
six children, with whom Stains
roomed, previously had been sen
fenced to a year in the house
of correction on a similar charge,
but sentence was suspended on
the provision she keep Stains
away from her home.
Henry M. Doom, q neighbor of
the Daley woman, testified that
he frequently heard the Daley
children cry for warmth and
water from a small, third-floor
room. He further said that on
numerous occasions he had heard
Stains curse and beat the chill
dren. Doom testified the chill
dren were kept in the attic room
every day from early morning
until late at night between the
fall of 1885 and the last of
March when Stains and Mrs.
Daley were arrested.
Detective William Peters tes-
titled the attic was equipped with

Most of the officials who have
been interviewed by The Wash
ington Times believe the money
will begin flowing into trade on
June II, the first day on which
veterans can receive Treasury
checks in return for their bonds.
This first part of the cash is
expected to go to retail stores
automobile dealers, clothiers, fur
niture stores, radio shops and the
like. Expenditure for these pur-
poses will begin on June II, and
continue for some time.
Will Pay Old Bills
The portion which will go to
pay bills-probably 80 per cent
will flow more gradually, it is be-
lieved.
However, veterans planning to
place part or all of their bonus in
the bank may hurry to place it in
safe keeping, which should mean
the opening of many new accounts
after June II.
In washington, Is million dol
lars worth of baby bonds" will
be distributed on June Is. That
amounts to nearly z per cent of
total yearly retail sales here. And
since much of it will be expended
within a short length of time after
June II, the effect on retail trade
can we'll be imagined, the Govern
ment experts declare.

Amount of Bonus
Puzzles Some
Veterans
BY THE BONUS EDITOR

Prominent among the questions
being asked the Bonus Editor by
veterans is this:
What amount is due a veteran
in the form of baby bonds" when
he has borrowed against his adj
justed service certificate?
Many factors enter into such a
computation. The time the loans
or loans were consummated,
whether or not interest has been
paid and many other factors are
involved. It is best for veterans
uncertain of the amount due them
to await the arrival of their bonds,
and then if they feel some error
has been made, to communicate
with the Veterans Administration.
A typical question along this
line, with general answer, came
in today's mail. 1t follows:
Question-Would you inform
me whether any interest will be
deducted from the balance of the
principal of my adjusted service
certificate. The principal is $1,573.
I drew half, which leaves a bal
ance of $786.50.
Answer-Much depends upon
the time the loan was made. II
made prior to october /, 1881, a
deduction will be made for inter,
est owed but not paid for the pc.
riod between the date of the loan
and October !, 1881. Any interest
owing but not paid during the pc.
Rod after that date is cancelled.
However, interest paid for the pc.
riod after that date will not be
refunded.
QueStion-Where can a ,eteran
have his bonds cashed If he works
until after $50 in the afternoon?
Answer-Apply to have your
bonds certified and obtain cash
for them at any post office open
after $50 p. m.
Question - When you cash"
your bonds, does that mean you
are given actual moneJ?
Answer-No. The expression
"cash" is convenient to explain
the process, which is that you re-
ceive a Treasury check for what
ever amount of bonds you sur
render. Like any other Treasury
check, it is readily cashable almost
anywhere.

The letters, signed by Walter

tiers charged.
The colored citizen in the South
is eligible to be lynched but not
allowed to vote in many instances"
the letters state. The Republican
party, according to the letter,
would uphold equal rights for the
colored citizen.
The Rev. Albert J. Mitchell, dis
trict superintendent of the Wash
