The Giant-Dodger game, the first
of the afternoon, was the better con-
est of the two played. Boswell, for
the Giants, and Shepherd, for the
Dodgers, went at top speed for the
entire route and base hits were
scarce. However, errors by the Dodr
gers played an important part, and
was one of the reasons why they lost
he game. They made strong threats

Chicago, May 5. A ninth inning
rally which netted four runs saved
Fred Mitchell's Cubs from a shut-out,
but it failed to overcome a lead of
seven runs the Reds had amassed. In
effective pitching by Claude Hendrix
let the visitors pile up six runs in the
first. From that time until the ninth,
Aldridge held the Reds scoreless. Ex
cept for the flurry in the last frame,
Schneider was invincible.

Hearings will begin Tuesday or
Wednesday and all those industries
and persons " who are affected hun
dreds have applied for permission to
appear will be allowed a voice be
fore the committee.
Bitter opposition to clothing the
President with "autocratic powers"
during tho war will break out Mon
day in the Senate when the censor
ship section of the administration
espionage bill comes up.
Preliminary outbursts have oc
curred repeatedly in Congress during
the last week. They reached a cli
max today when Senators denounced
the drastic provision of the bill which
would give the Postmaster-General
tremendous powers in the handling
of the mails.
Senator Johnson of California clas
sified the mail section as iniquitous
and exceeding authorization that
should be placed in the hands of any
man. He wants to strike out entire
ly the censorship section and to
strongly amend the mail section.
Senator Calder of New York voted
against the censorship section. "The
press of the country can be trusted
not to publish anything that would,
be of aid or comfort to the enemy,"
he holds. "I am not ready," he said,
"to prevent the great indapendent
press of the country from printing
all the news of the day. In every
war one of this Nation's greatest pil
lars of strength has been the pross.
Do those in charge of this bill be
lieve that in the days to come we J
can hope to succeed in this conflict j
unless the press of thb country
stands strongly behind the govern
ment?" He called attention to the
great work of the English press, par
ticularly Lord Northcliffe's paper, in
creating a pressure of public opinion
which completely reorganized tne
government.
