posi- THE CHAMPION.
1t Was Impossible for McCawley to Out.
reach Him.

Special Dispatch to THE EvEsrSe STAR
BALTIMORE, June CAS- predicted, the
championship pitcher of the south remains in
baltimore, the property Of A. II. s. Post.
The great game between McCawiey and Post
was called about 4 O'Clock yesterday. at which
time there were at least 1000 people on
the grounds to witness the contest. A
new court was laid ont where the
audience could get a view OF the games and the
silver pitcher was in a conspicuous place.
Post won the toss and put McCawley in direct
contact with the suns rays. The game began
amid breathless excitement. Post showed
signs OF nervousness and MeCawley was by no
means III his best form. The latter took the
two first games and the sixth, Post
winning the first set by 6-3. In this
set McCawley tired every method of play
known. AT first he began to place the balls at
the back line of his opponents court. Post
returned them with terrific force. and finally
came up to the net. McCawley tried to pass
him on the side lines, but to no purpose. Post
has a very long reach and it was simply i'm
possible to place the balls beyond him.
In the second set Post had matters all his
own way, which he woa by 6-l, and the third
was a love set for the Baltimore champion.
McCawley did not play his best game yester-
day, but he Was clearly outclassed. Post is the
best tennis PLAYER south of New York, and
every one comedies his prestige.
NcCnyley has made wonderful advancement
in the last two years and his play this season is
far ahead Of any one in Washington. He has
pluck and endurance and his strateSical facul-
ties enable him 10 outplay our local men.
Woodward defeated Browne and Metcalf for
the second prize IN the singles, and the
finals for second double prize lies
between Woodward and hcCawley and
Borden and Wooten. This match will
be played of on the Bachelors grounds some
day next week. Baltimore and Washington
have evenly divided the prizes. The former
took the championship. the first prize in
doubles and the consolation (Steele defeating
Davidson after u hard struggle, rs, 7-5).
while Washington wins the first and second
singles (McCawley and Woodward respectively
and the second prize in doubles. which will
probably 60 to the same players. This tourna-
ment has been the most successful ever held
by the Southern Association, and it is crafty
ing to note that Washington stands we'll up to
the front III its tennis talent. Another year
Wilmington will compete, which may make a
difference in the distribution of the prizes.

A Canadian Town Flooded.

BARRIE, ONT, June 6.-The most disastrous
flood that ever visited this town took place yes
terday in consequence of two days heavy rain.
The main drain caved in Wednesday and was
consequently of no use in carrying away the
tremendous flow that came down from the hills.
All the streets in the center of town were sub
merged and the business thoroushfares pre-
sented an awful sight last evening. The water
was fully two feet deep and many stores were
flooded. The streets in the vicinity of Five
Points are washed away to a depth of from six
to eight feet. The chasm at present is fully so
feet wide. The vast body OF water which
rushed down carried everything in its path to
the bay. The railway track is washed away
and traffic Is blocked. A number of freight
cars were washed into the bay. The rainfall
was phenomenal. Last night the loss to the
town was estimated at about $50. 900.

BEEF Is NOT PRODUCE.
Judge Miller Says Butchers Need Not
Have Licenses.

Policeman C. ". Proctor, who has been en-
forcing the license laws and increasing the
revenues of the District in some classes of
cases, met with q serious setback today when
he presented to the Police Cour. two butchers,
Messrs. H.. c. Riley and c. ID. Schenck, and
charged them with being unlicensed produce
dealers.
Gen. Dirnev represented the defendants and
Mr.. Dumont appeared for the District.
Gen. Iirney admitted the facts and argued
that they were not liable under the law.
His remarks led to a discussion as to what was
produce, and Mr.. Dumont held that beef was
produce.
Gen. Birney said, as an illustration Of M
Dumont's claim. he would suppose that Mr..
Dumont was the prosecuting attorney here
from 1850 to 1860, when the slave trade was IN
operation.
Il wonder" he said, 'if Mr.. Dumont would
have prosecuted the sellers for being unli-
censed produce dealers?"
In the course of the argument Mr.. Dnmont
said he thought that butchers were liable If
fish dealers were, but Judge Miller said he did
not think the fish dealers were liable.
But they pay a license" added Mr.. Du-
mont.
..Thi court" the judge remarked, cant
prevent them from doing So"
Gen. Birney SAID he thought the license law.
so FAR as produce dealers were concerned,
should be repealed. He thought they were
oppressive. and he hoped the prosecuting at
torney would use his efforts TO relieve these
poor people.
Here, for instance, is a poor devil" said
Gen. Birney, "who buys a couple of
dollars worth of goods, starts
ont to earn a few dollars
for the support of his family. de is arrested
aud told that he Will be locked up unless he
pays SIS. The chances arc that he has never
seen that much money in a pile. If he can't
raise that amount of money he can't support
his family. Do yen call such "a law JUST"
Judge Miller aud Mr.. Dumont were of the
same opinion as Gen. Birney. The judge said
that even the banana men have 10 pay the
license, and if they .oiter on the street a few
minutes and get arrested the court has to im-
pose fines.
At the conclusion Of the debate the judge de-
cided that butchers did not come within the
provision of the license law and dismissed tie
case.
Mr.. Dumont was not satisfied with the judg-
ment of the court and wanted TO appeal. but
the judge told him that for constitutional
reasons the government could not appeal.
