BRocKToN, August 3.-The game be-
tween the Broektons and Portlands was
the most exciting contest seen here this
season, both teams exerting every effort
to win. The game finally ended in dis
pute, and it was caused in a simple man
ner. The score was six to five in favor
of the visitors, when the Brocktons went
in to close the ninth inning. McGunni-
gle reached first base on an error and,
being injured, he put Doe in the game.
Capt. Annis claimed he had no right to
do this and Umpire Mulcahey decided in
his favor. Then the rules were studied
and finally Mac was allowed to remain
on first base and he scored. Burke fol-
lowed with two base hit and Hartnett
brought in the winning run with one
man out. Brockton put Frank Rudder-
ham in to pitch and he did well but re-
ceived poor support, John Irwin played
great game, and connected with the
ball easily. The veteran McGunnigle
made two sensational catches in right
field. Clymer did the best playing for
the visitors. O'Brien was fined S25 and
Kirmes was fined $40 and put out of the
game Capt Annis has protested the

Looking at Mars.

SAN FRANCISCO, August Safeguarding
the possible results of the present obser-
vations Of the planet Mars by experts at
the Lick Observatory, Prof. Edward S.
Holden in charge of observations at
Mount Hamilton said last evening that
there is absolutely nothing to be said
about Mars observations until after the
work has been gone over with care and a
map made of our results. ALI or nearly
all of the present excitement over Mars
is merely exaggerated and sham excite
ment utterly useless to people in general
as it is harmful to true science. Exag-
gerated and ignorant expectations will
not be realized such as relate ito communi-
cation with the inhabitants of a planet
which we are not absolutely certain is fit
to be inhabited, let alone actually popu-
lation for example.

Ia Monetary Scheme from Abroad.

VIENNA, August 3.-The Freie Presse
publishes the details of scheme elabo-
rated by Professor Soetbeer, to harmon
ize the monetary systems of the world.
The professor recommends that the COM
ing international monetary conference
agree that no gold coin containing less
than 2.65 grains of fine gold be allowed
to be coined or circulated in the contract
ing countries; that silver be coined in
the proportion of 20 value units of silver
to one of gold; that silver be legal ten
der up to $40; and that silver coins be-
low the fixed standard of purity be with
held from circulation. Professor Scot
beer considers that everything depends
upon the attitude of Great Britain.
