The STREET commissioners complain Mt
came before the council yestesday In
the shape of the report Of the investi-
eating committee. The committee
report some cause Of complaint, but not
enough TO make a fuss about; also some
hsstiness on the part Of the street COM
missioner, which he is said to admit.
The report leaves matters Just where
they were before and no one is satisfied.
Alderman Gallagher demonstrated that
the resolutions of council governing
street work were virtually subversive Of
the ordinance defining the street COM
missioner's powers, but himself and
Alderman Kalteyer were the only mem
bers of council who seemed to think that
the ordinances amouted to much any
way. The same OLD grind goes on, and
will, until an overhauling comes in the
election of new board.

changed, however, and the home men
soon looked sick. Everybody looked
and felt sick.
The Fort Worth fellows pounded us

of the very best, it looked as II he

or was Disguised with his weak catcher.
little Belts, who allowed ball after ball
to pass him and then couldn't throw to

wait to see the ending of the
game. At the end of the 4th inning the
men had been playing one hour and at
the end of the game 1t was just two
hours from the start.

accommodations and the official scorer,
Cohen, was crowded of his bench yes
terday by the crowd.

Edinger or he will have to learn to bat.

ses, If he will only learn to bat.
