yesterday afternoon between the Red
Stars, of College Point, and the Smart
ers, of Wood Haven, at the race course in
Wood Haven. The game went on until the
fifth inning, when one of the Red Stars. be-
ing on first base, ran second. A knotty
question arose as to whether he was out or
not Umpire Goodwin decided that he was
put out The Red Stars objected, and soon
the two mines were in rough -and-tumble
free-for-a fight Some of the Red Stars got
the umpire down, jumped on him and beat
him with bats into state of insensibility
and then left him. After the fight was over
the Smarters gathered up their bats and left
the field, the opposing nine doing the same.
The umpire was left lying where he was
knocked down by the Red Stars and where
afterward he was found and carried to the
hnme of a neighbor. A doctor pronounced
the lad in precarous condition.

THERE seems to be some unwritten history
in connection with the removal of Law Clerk
LIE Barnes, of the Interior Department Mr..
Lamar made the removal on the last day of
his service as Secretary of the Interior. lie
Barnes had held the position some fifteen
years, was regarded very competent and
trustworthy official, and had been more than
over-complimented by Lamar himself. The
latter had retained him nearly three years;
why, then, should he have him removed only
few hours before going out of Office HIMSELF
The whole transaction has queer look, and
gives color to the current rumor that LIE
Barnes was removed either to crafty the in
coming Secretary of the Interior Villas or else
to secure somebody's vote for Lamar's con-
frmation. In either case it seems to be part
of political intrigue that looks strangely out
of place in connection with Lamars judicial

But we advise Mr. Carlisle, if he wishes to re-
