BLMES WON FOR DEMOCRAS. Alkenite Decided Congressional Ball Game-Had Parliamentary Tricks. Washington, Aug. 7.-Democracy triumphed again today when Repub lican congressmen bit the dust-some of them swallowed quarts of it-on the baseball diamond in the struggle for the championship of the house of representatives. Score, 12 to 9. Charges may be perferred against the' Democratic umpire, James F. Byrnes, of Sout&i Carolina, who had a rabbit's foot in his pocket, and, Republican ball players charge, a loaded half dol lar also. The game, played for charity, real ly was decided by the umpires. Wil - liam W. Wilson (Republican), of Illi nois, did all he could to stem the tide oftparty defeat, but on all clqse de cisions when infuriated members of both parties crowded on the field and threatened riot, the only solution was for Byrnes and Wilson to resort to the toss of a coin. Byrnes had the coin and did the tossing. Byrnes won ev ery time. Fates With Democrats. "You're safe," he invariably -order ed, reversing the decision of the Re publican umpire. Thus were the fates with the Democrats, although they bad not such gilt-edged ball players on their team as . Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio. Longworth, shortstop for the Re publican team and its captain, played like a fiend in the field and pounded out two doubles and a home run. The tall he knocked for a home run was stolen by a canal boat driver, who found it in the canal below the heights of Georgetown, upon which the game was played. In the third inning-there were on ly four innings because another would would have meant physical defeat ,for all -concerned-Edwin Z. Webb (Dem ocrat), of North Carolina, had been neatly caught at fIrst base, but in his desperation he had knocked down Representative Slemp, who w4k guard Ing the bag. Umpire Wilson called him out No Dictation. "Stay where you are,"'shouted Um pire Byrnes as he rans forward; " swallow no such Republican dicta tion. He thinks he's Joe Cannon." fDhen there came a coniflct of ton goes and sowme serious threats which startled the audience of Washington's eiaI'nadei~ssonalI circles entil a egjeeilto toss the oln on the proposition'that the coin be the urn pfre. ,The Democrats won. ~Again when Wilflam F. Murray (epuocrat), of Massachusett,. had slethered to second base and was be nug touched out by Representative Kendall (Republican), of Iowa, Um pire Wilson called him out. Byrnes *again ordered him not. to s'tir from his position of party regularity and to sit on the lid. Another near riot, another coin tossed, again the Demo crats 'had won and three more runs crossed the<plate. It was a lurid game while It lasted, the Gopher battery, Miller and Ander son, of Minnesota, carrying off honors for the losers and Webb and Kinkead, of New Jersey, officiating for the1 * Democrats. Other participants for the Repurblicans were: Lafferty, Ore-' gon, centre field; Slemp, Virginia, first base; Porter, Pennsylvania, who made three hits, third base; Reyburn, of Pennsylvania, left field, and Farr, of Pennsylvania, right field. Support nug the Democratic battery were:i Harrison, Mississippi, third base; 'Reilly, Connecticut, who lasted one inning, and McDermott, Illinois, first base; Carter, Oklahoma, second base; Driscoll, NeW York, -left field; Gar rett, Tenn., centre field, and. Scully, New Jersey, right field. Scully knocked a heme run, the ball landing in Congressman Kohley's automobile. .SENATE PASSES STATEHOOD BILL -Would Admit Arizona and New Nexico to Union-Recall Provision Stands. Washington, Aug. 8.-The bill granting Statehood to New Mexico and Arizona, which has for many years been the dream of the 'people of these two territories, was passed tonight, 53 to 18, after re.jection of the Nelson amendment, which proposed striking out of the Arizona constitution its judiciary recalI provision. The bill as passed 'by the senate is only slightly changed from the house measuire, and It is said may be un satisfactory to President Taft. He has conxtez.ded all along that he would be glad to sign th~e Statehood bill if the Nelson amendment prevailed, but that it 'was a grave question whether he would be willing to sign it if the amendment were defeated, as it was by 4-3 to 26. The indications tonight . are that the bill will become a. law -wihout his sig-nature. Practically all of the debate on the bill centred around the Nelson amendment. Even some senators who declared their op position to the recall of judges voted against the amendment on the ground that if the people of Arizona desired recall as part of their system of gov ernment it was for them and not for congress to decide whether they should have it. The bill as passed compels Arizona, as a condition precedent to entry Into the Union, to submit the recall propo sition to the voters for final decision as to whether it shall remain in their constitution. New Mexico must vote on a proposition embodied in the bill which would make the constitution of the State easier of amendment.
