BASEBALL NOTESAND COMMENT

crowd of 2J14 persons was thelargest registered by the turnstilae in aweek

Several reserve Naps eittlng along thegrand stand started to kid our unfortu-nates In the early part of the secondgame Ump Evans was on the joband chased them under cover

Lajoie played hIs usual star gamo atsecond accepting everything that camehis way He also managed to furnish abingle and a run in Inch game The vet-eran shows no effects of Ida recent in-

Miller the youngster obtained by theNationals from Pottsville who came herewith an average of S9S with the stickwas given a chance to show his worth asan outfielder The Nap pitchers foundhim easy striking bite out every time

Charlie Smith walked into the box amid-a general outburst of jeers from thoMeacherltes Take the dub out wasone of the cries that rent the air but itwas not long before the elongated twirler

the second game on Ice with one downand Street on the second sack Smith andBrowne were not up to the occasion dy-ing on easy Infield tape Washington hadseven men left on bases to their oppo-nents four during the game

Two great catches by Leiivelt the Na-tionals recruit center fielder featured theafternoon activities In the llrst inning-of each game he played the part of ahighway robber nabbing long drives fromthe beta of Goode and Flick that lookedsafe for at least three buM He had onlya fair day with the willow-

A rumor was afloat at the perk thatB mi the Naps star catcher will at-tempt to duplicate Gabby Streets stuntof catching a ball dropped from the topof the Washington Monumentwill however hardly consent to takechances with his star catcher now thatCleveland seems to have a lookin forthe rag

Cy Falkenberg tho human darningneedle seems to have improved Hepitched an unusually steady game Asa local player his fault seemed to be lackof control but there was no evidence ofsuch in yesterdays game Helno Bergeralso comes in for a share of praise Hepitched a consistent

If thara is any one who has anythingon Bob Unglaub as a utility playerplease bring him forward Bob hasplayed every position except pitcher andcatcher and could probably fill the rolethere If called upon Yesterday he had-a big day both at bat and in the fieldpounding out five hits in the two gamesand at the same time playing sensa-tional ball

The Nationals with a greatly changedlineup put up a much bettor game thanthey have shown since their return fromthe Western trip Errors were frequentbut for the most part excusable and theplayers showed more life The fact thatthey wore playing against the Clevelandclub probably had something to do withit Thoy always try hard to beat thoNaps and sometimes succeed in accom-plishing their purpose

tigation in Police Department

Four detective Borgaante H R War-

ren Guy E Burlingame Charles Mullenand R E Weeden have defied the orderof Maj Sylvester and declined to writea letter explaining why they should notgo before a trial board to face the chargeof misconduct made by Property ClerkEdwin B Herse

Whoa the detectives had assembled forroll call and instructions InspectorBoardman informed Wooden BurlingamaMullen and Warren that he had instruc-tions from the head of the departmentthat thoy were each to write a lettershowing cause why they should not betried under tho charges This roll callwas at 9 aolock Monday morning andan hour later the trial was to have beencalled

as if by prearranged agreement positive-ly refused to comply with the order anddemanded that they be tried and given ahearing under the charges

Subsequently Inspector Boardman reported the refusal of the men to obeythe order and that they had demandedthe trial It is stated that Maj Sylves-ter then remarked that the charges werenot propartly made out then and theredestroying the original papers

bers of the detective force that title isnot tho end of the matter It te quietlyhinted that a quiet Investigation iff goingon that soaks to get souse one in troubleJust what this is no one seems In a posi-

tion to say or if they know they keepthe secret to themselves

Friends of the detectives not connectedwith the emtfal life of the District gov-ernment are Indignant that these trustedmen should be held up to public criticismIn the hasty manner In which they havebeen It is Intimated that a petition isin circulation addressed to the Districtcommissioners asking that a thoroughInvestigation of the detective department-be had and the findings of the board madepublic

In admitting yesterday that chargesbad been made by Property Clerk Hesse-against these men and that the superin-tendent of police had ordered them totrial for alleged violations of the manualit was stated that there were no chargesagainst the men for misappropriatingfunds coming into their hands

It was pointed out that the ofeargeswere based upon complaint made by MrHewe In his official capacity as custodianof all property coming into the handsof tho police and detectives had not beenpromptly and properly turned Into him

When this was reported to Maj Rich-ard Sylvester be ordered the trial ofthe men-

Special Counsel Tncicnrt Ordered toDetermine Ownership of Laud

anti Batimnte Riparian Rights

For the purpose of determining riparianricbts along the Eastern Branch of thePotomac Hugh T Ta mrt of the cor-

OommlsstonarsThe Commissioners will submit to Con

grees at the next session a report show-

ing tbe ownership of land along the Anacostla River In the hope of obtainingan appropriation for Its Improvement

In the report of the War Department-In JMf says Mr Ta art th aoseosedvalue of what was considered privateland was put at 8090 but there can beno question that the value as determinedby a jury will be many times greaterThe value of the riparian privileges willbe very small on account of the shallownew of the stream and the present nonavailability for commercial purposes buton the other hand It may amount to aminion dollars or more

Within any reasonable cost and it isthought that J OWOOO or 4000000 I rea-sonable the desirability of this Improve-ment Is great The land now availablefor facilities la Washington Istoo limited and the wharf frontage Isalready crowded To carry out the proj-ect would quadruple the water frostalong a navigable channel
