GENERALS STING BALL UNO DOWN NAVY TOSSERS Middies Unable To Solve Me- Callum Who Was On Mound For Washington And Lee— Kelly Rapped For Twelve Safeties. VISITORS NIP NAVY RALLY IN NINTH Washington and Lee sent a good hitting team to Annapolis yesterday and as a result the mid shipmen again were forced to taste defeat, their fourth time this season. Ihe score was 7to 3, and the victory was well earn ed. Rain threatened to halt the game at the end of the second in ning after the Middies had estab lished themselves in a 2-run lead, and although there was a shower of ten minutes duration, the heavy clouds soon drifftd by. Kelly Is Hit Hard Kelly, Navy's veteran liurler, who has been worked pretty hard, having pitched three games within a week, was touched for 12 safe drives, two of which were two-baggers. On the other hand, the twirling of McCallum was a big factor in the Generals’ vic tory. He was steady and effective ex cept in the second inning, when the naval lads bunched three hits for a brace of runs. It was McCallum’s first game of the season. He was captain of the team last year, but has not been worked thus far because of a sore arm. Apparently, the wing did not bother him yesterday. In addition to his work on the mound, he rapped out three singles, each of which was re sponsible for a run. Three Huns In Sixth Kelly was hit hardest in the sixth and seventh frames. In the former the Generals found him for five safe ties that drove three runners home. Doubles by Switzer and Frew, and a single by Dawson, brought two more tallies in the seventh. Two hits and an error gave the Virginians their (Continued On Page 4.)

MIDDIES TO ENTER i 111 BIG REGATTAS i Permission Given Varsity To Row In Poughkeepsie Classic And Plebes In Henley BIG OBSTACLE OVERCOME The midshipmen’s varsity and ‘■Plebe” eight-oared shell crews will compete in the Poughkeepsie and American Henley regattas. Formal announcement to this effect has been made by Superintendent Wilson, of the Naval Academy. The Pough keepsie classic will be staged on the Hudson, June 28. and the Henley on the Schuylkill, May 28. Join ('raising Ships Later Rear-Admiral Wilson had previous ly ruled against of these outside competitions because of interference with the midshipmen's professional work, this being particularly the case as regards the Poughkeepsie event, which necessitates the loss of about one month from the summer practice cruise. Now, however, it is felt that a satisfactory arrangement can be made for transporting the oarsmen to the practice squadron immediately after the race and thereby lose only part of the cruise. Wilson Makes Statement In reaching his decision regarding these races, Admiral Wilson made the following statement: “A very important part of the mid shipmen’s training comes from the experience gained on shipboard dur ing the annual practice cruise, and lacking assurance of transportation to the ships of the squadron, the Super intendent has felt constrained to with hold his permission for the members of the crew to sacrifice themselves professionally." EXCELLENT CANDY TO BE MAT PLAY In connection with the repetition of ‘'’The Man Who Owns Broadway,” which will be given tomorrow even ing at 8:15 in St. Mary’s Hall for the benefit of the Emergency Hospi tal, attention is called to the fact that reserved seat tickets are now on sale at T.

As every lady on this commit tee is deservedly famous for success in making candy there is every rea son to believe that this feature of to morrow night’s affair will net the hospital considerable profit. The committee is soliciting dona tions of brown, granulated and con fectioners’ sugar, Karo syrup, Eng lish walnuts and cocoanut. Every one desirous of assisting the hospital is requested to send any of these ma terials to Mrs. B. L.

DENBY REBUKES SIMS FOR ATTACK ONWFICERS Secretary Says It Is Hard To Be lieve Admiral Would Show Such Utter Disloyalty To The Service Officers Criticized Have Splendid Records. WILSON SPENT TWO YEARS AT WAR COLLEGE The recent attack of Rear-Ad miral W illiam S. Sims on certain high appointments within the na val service, including that of Rear-Admiral Henry B. Wilson as Superintendent of the Naval Academy, has brought forth a sharp rebuke from Secretary of the Navy Denby. The chief point of Admiral Sims’ criticism was not having an officer who is a graduate of the Naval War College as commander-in-chief of the United States fleet, as chief of naval operations and as super intendent of the Naval Academy, the officers aimed at evidently be ing Rear-Admirals Robert E. Coontz, Edward W. Eberle and Henry B. Wilson. Sims Essayed Role Of Critic Secretary Denby’s rebuke to Ad miral Sims is in these words: “I find it hard to believe that Admiral Sims made the statements attributed to him. I cannot believe any officer would show such utter disloyalty to the service.” It seems that Admiral Sims has in recent years several times assumed the role of critic, and that he has been out of harmony with the administra tion of the Navy Department for some time. During the war he attacked certain of the departments’ policies in the conduct of the war. Later he attacked the system of awarding naval decorations, and only recently in a public speech in California denfended certain phases of the German system of naval warfare. Another contro versy in which Admiral Sims was the principal figure was the result of a bitter attack which he made upon the Irish. This dispute ended in a public rebuke of the Admiral by Secretary of the Navy Denby. In 1910, Admiral Sims, then a commander, first attract ed attention by a hands-acrosg-the sea speech, for which he was rebuked by President Taft. A few months later, however, he was raised to the rank of captain. 'l’onllßßMl on P*(f 4.) WANJED Caretaker and Chauffeur for Eastport Volunteer Fire Com pany.
