The; inrity wanted to make it 16 to 1, but the Reubicans defeated the ropoitio)n. T'h. Democratic victory '-te first (,f tue extra session-was followed b-: a cloadbarst. The deluge did not deseend until the seven-inning battle had ended with the stout mem bers all puffing and groggy from run-' ning bases and chasing balls, and the lean members prone oni the grass from exhausted energy. The crowd which 'witnessed the game was equally weary from laughter. The throng included many distinguished officials. President Tasft did not attend. He was at Chevy Chase with Vice -Presi dent Sherman-playing golf. More different kinds of base,1ball were played than ever before .were crowded into seven innings. Strange as it may seem, it was not at all bad. Representative Heflin, of Alabama, playing in one of the outer gardens, reminded one -strikingly of " Ty'" Cobb. No one ventured to tell Mr. Reflin just why. Once he had a e4iance to be a hero. The Republicans sud denily came to life in the fifth innifg and were scoring eight or~ nine or ten runs, when a line fly went winging out into the left field st.raight at Hefin.

The Republicans stuck to their original line-up through out the game. but the Democrats wore themselves out m.aking ten rounds in the second, and afte,r that substitutes were called for. The nearest the newspaper scorers -ld hands at the bu.siness-~could: ome to the base hits a.nd errors was o give the Democrats 23 of the for er-no jest intended--and 5 of the latter. The Republicans are credited ~th 20 safe hits and 9 errors. Catcher anid Pitcher Collide. Texas leaguers were there in bunches and onee in chasing a pop fy te Republican catcher and pitcher ollided with fearsome results. Rep resentative Burke, of Pennsylvania, who was at tihe receiving end of the majority, is of slight build, and when e rashed into Pitcher Gaines, of West Virginia, the little catcher was sent heels over head to the ground. Ie picked himself up undaunted, and then, while lie and the pitc'her were doing an "Alphonse an!d Gaston," three Democrats with a warped idea of chivalrous courtesy raced home and added three runs to their already opu lent total. Deep, dark, dank rumors were in irculation for a time that ''ringers"' would be introduced into the contest. but when they lined up this afternoon. the nine Republicans were all stalwart Grand Ol:d Party men. while the Dem ocrats were of as pure a Jeffersonian strain as the halls of Monticello ever kew.

TPhe "Democrats had for their leader epresentative Kinkald. of New Jer ey, who played second in a way that ould turn Lajoie gireen with envy. Representative Webb, of North arolina, pitched for the Democrats ad outside of the fifth inning. ''had the game well in hand." A Home Run Knocked. Representative Oldfield,. of Arkan sas, t=he cateher, had a shade on Mr. urke. In fact it was in the battery ork that the Democrats excelled, al hough their slugging was a marvel ous :revelation to Washington base ball enthusiasts. The Washington' ublie long ago had forgottten what home run looked like, until Repre entative 0O'Connell. of Boston, Mass., star swatter of the Democrats, line'd out in the seventh. He broug'ht .in two other runs ahead of him and scored n the midst of so much excitement that Catcher Burke threw the ball to Democrat in the dense crowd around ome base. Once a thin Demoe,rat began to hase a fat one around the bases after aking a long 'hit to centre. caught .p with ~him at third, and then the two ran home together. Catcher urke got the ball in plenty of time o make the mosL phenomenal double play on record by tagging the two runs with a ''take this. and that." But he dropped the ball. The problem of securing a satis factory umpire was a haifd one. The emoratts declared that if Speaker Cannon acted tshey had not a chance n earth. The gordian knot was cut when the Rev. Father James Rey nolds, of Red Bank. New Jersey, was selected. He umpired the bases and had only on-e decision to make. Mike 0'Day, ground keeper of the park. was offered as the sacrifice on balls nd strikes. Two or three threats to kill ibim had no serious outcome. Ani nobod- got hit by a pitehed ball they had plenty of time to dodge. Score and Line-Up.
