generation up to % proper appreciation Of
gambling seems to be the mission Of Robert
Surcoof. He, Sunday morning, took por
gions of three walnut Shells a tiny ball

locality at the head Of jackson street, and
Ae was fully prepared to entertain such
human suckers as had more money than
brains. OF course some of that genius gave
him a call, but they assisted to fill his
Treasury. No one could guess under which
shell the little joker rested his weary self.
The game was hourishing, when that perse
Eering sergeant, Vanlzjrk, passed that way
He guessed where the little ball should be,
and he lost no time in placing it, with the
owner, in the sixth precinct stationhouse,
accused viii be placed in front Of Recorder
Billings in few days.
4 thief, with soul above buttons, broke
jnto the hall, No. ll6 Carondelet street,
Sunday night, and was SO utterly mean as
50 steal the flags, wreaths and ornaments
belonging to the Ida Social Club. The why
and-wherefore are unexplained. The aCtl-
cIes were afterwards found in Davidson

RUSGRY.-Thieves Of late have become
gerry hungry, or else they intend to start

BASE BALL-THe Il. b. Lees Deteat the
Zone StarS.-Since the Stars captured the
SThip pennant they have suffered two defeats,
perhaps growing lazy or Indifferent after
their unquestioned triumph. The Lees met
She Stars at the park Sunday and there was
a highly interesting contest. Both mines
were minus one strong player, but the va
cancies were easily filled by good men. AS
shere had been considerable controversy
over the contest Qnite number of citizens
took pleasure in Witnessing the play. Both
mines stood up to their work with even
more vigor than il usual with them, and the
9laying was nearly equal and spirited.
The Lees did not count until the fourth
ginning when they scored one. Onthe fifth
they gained ground and marked four, but
from that out they failed to earn anything |
The Stars drew blank in Che first inning, |
ccored one on the second, blank in the third |
and one in fourth, blanks in the fifth, sixth, |
seventh and eighth, and on tue last inning |
succeeded in worrying out a single tally |
shaking only three against the Lees five !
Not one run earned III two hours
