M'DERMOTT NOT SUPPORTED Both He and Hess Pitched Good Games, but the Fielders Seemed to Be Unusu ally Listless. ' r The visitors score was three. When the game was done, ; Ours, twice that plus one. The rooter aigtietL .and then said he, "The same old crime of T-'t-S!" otN:t: Upon the mahogany desk of jthe sporting writer of this great Journal some enthusiastic fan placed the above little Jingle or blngle. In It he fails to refer In any way to the half-heart-edness of the game in question, or to point out the everlasting truth that indifferent baseball playing will not steer the patronage ship away from the scylla of disgust or prevent it from being wrecked upon the charybdis of not-attendance. The game was almost devoid of in terestindeed, had 'Washburn, War- renton's second baseman, not made of himself a Molly Hogan by talking fight to Brather Harry, the crowd In the grandstand would have considered it a quiet afternoon. "f he visitors started off like a bunch of lobsters. They wanted to have everything their own way, else they wouldn't play. First there was a squabble about the money question, which had not been definitely settled prior to the arrival of the crowd. Commercial gave In &nd it seemed the game 'would be played. But Warrenton didn't fancy Mr. Macomber as an umpire. He had umpired a game at Fort Stevens and the visiting players had come to the conclusion that he was lacking. An other umpire must be secured, and again Commercial assented, Richard C. Lee being selected. And then the "game" was played. 'The objection to Mr. Macomber made weary those who know a little something about baseball. This state ment may be construed to mean that some of the visitors are not up in .baseball etiquette, as was amply ex emplified during the game when one of the visiting batsmen protested vig orously upon being called out because he undertook a bunt on the third strike seemed' utterly bewildered to Dick ud the ball. There was no scoring again until the fifth, when Warrenton got two runs. A visitor had succeeded J$ettlngas .'r the initial' sack when the next man up drove out a clean three-bagger. The aext wan. sent out a. Ion ily to Mor ton, and before the Commercial fielder coujd throw, home ; another visitor scored. Ferguson, Brother Harry and Brother Roxy scored in tAe clubmen's half of this inning, - Baxter's wild throwing having been responsible for one or the runs. In the seventh Commercial added two more runs to Its total, stock ton had essayed a successful bunt and pilfered second. Ferguson's hot drive was not handled and Stockton went down to third. Brother Harry hit out drive that brought Ferguson home from first, while, singular to tell, Brother Harry himself did not get be- yond first He was caught between first and second, and when Washburn finally overtook him he slammed the ball ' against Harry's ribs as if he would prepare a case for the doctors. Two or three times he clapped the ball into Harris side, and the Com merclal third basemen became indig nant. Just what he said to Wash burn was not , heard. . in the. grand stand, but Washburn ran toward him in t threatening,, manner. Brother Harry was anxious to avoid a fistic encounter on the field, but Brother Roxy was hot so particular, for he hastened in the direction of the dis putants and poked his little brown mit Into Washburn's face. The less ex cited playerspulled the men apart be fore the affair reached a climax, while the grandstand hissed Washburn for his unseemlng conduct. In the eighth inning Painter hit to Brother Harry, who threw wildly to Flannigan and let Painter score. In the seventh O'Toole hit out one to the left field and In running the bases "cut" the first bag 20 feet. Mr. Lee did not see him do this, however, and when he stopped on third he was called safe. He died there, so the irregularity was not costly to the visitors. About the only real nice play of the day, was Roxy Graham's great one-handed atop of a hot drive, in the ninth. In the third Tommy Ross dis tinguished himself by dropping a fly that fell into his mit The score by innings was as follows: Commercial 20003020 7 Warrenton 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 03 BIG STRIKE IMPENDING Seven Thousand Teamsters May Quit Work in New York Dur ing the Month.

This city is again' threatened with a general strike of 7,000 teamsters against the New Tork Truck Owners Association. An agreement for one year was entered only recently.

Lots qf men, it would appear, never emerge from the marble-playing period. Both Ross and McDermott pitched good games. Ross had some support, while poor McDermott was almost alone on the diamond. Dick Haider man worked faithfully behind the bat, as he always works, but in the field the agents of the west side town fum bled and threw It away until some of the spectators forgot they had ever seen snappy ball. For some unac countable reason, both teams ap peared listless, and, while the club men put up much the batter exhibi tion, they did not display the gin flzs qualities which have heretofore characterized their efforts.

Dear Sir: "As a measure to benefit Industrial, commercial and financial Interests In particular and for the public welfare generally, the National Business League, as Indicated by the leaflet herewith, has taken the Initiative In a movement to so amend the constitu tion of the United States as will lengthen the presidential term to six years, making the chief executive in eligible for re-election; the principal reasons for the proposed change be ing: "1. Presidential campaigns are too frequent; are enrmously expensive to business interests and keep the coun try In a state of turmoil and uncer tainty most of the time, to the great disadvantage of both labor and capital "2. Presidential years show Increase of business failures, decrease of ex ports, bank clearings, stock sales and commercial transactions generally. "3. Presidential campaigns Indefin itely prevent the beginning and check the growth of Industrial enterprises. "4.
