WON BY THE PARNELLS.
The Sheridans Defeated in a One
Sided Game.

A very oBe-sided game OF Gaelic football
was played yesterday between the PaTnell
and Sheridan teams, which the former won
by score Of 3 goals and % points. or 81
points in all. against string Of cipheTs by
The latter. The game was called at P. NJ =,
when the Parnells, in command of Captain
j. j. Hurley, came on the field clad in their
wel-kB0wn green and red striped jerseys.
The Sheridans. with Captain John Purcell
n the lead, soon followed, with their pretty
blue shirts, aud from the applause which
shook he grand stand it was easily seen
that the boys in blue were the favorite.
The green and red had decided advan-
ia &c in the first half OF the game. as there
was a strong wind blowing toward the
Sheridan goal. and it was only necessary to
ki, K the ball straight up into the air, when
the ind would take It and land ii near the
fence, making either point or a goal kick.
Besides this the blues had the sun IN their
eyes " ben they tried for the enemy's goal.
The ParDells saw their advantage and
kept the ball near the blues goal so that
the large grand stand might not act as a
wind-break In this manner they made two
of their goals and many of their points.
AT the beginning Of the second half the
Parnells by a splendid rush carried the ball
down to the Sheridan goal, viii in this
half was near tile grand stand ana kept ii
there all through the game, thus removing
the drawbacks which lad bothered their
opponents.
The grounds were in very bRd condition
for a football game, but had the contest
been one in swimming or boating IL might
have been success.

TOSSING THE BALL.
Wet Courts Do Not Prevent a Good
DAYS Sport.

Although the handball courts were not in
the best of condition and were thoroughly
soaked by the steady downpour of rain
during Saturday night, large number of
devotees of the sport INDUCED in their
tavorite game.
The weather was cool and bracing and an
unusual number OF amateurs turned out to
do some tossing.
Phil Ryan's court was crowded with spec
tators. who had been attracted by the an
nouncement Of a triple handicap between
John Jones, the champion OF Australia, and
Joseph Lawless and James Kearney, two
local lights. for purse.
The days sport was opened with a closely
contested single between Patterson and
Vogelsang, which proved fine point exhi-
bition. The former captured first honors,
with the close score at the finish Of 15-9,
13-15, 15-10.
in the doubles the first game played was
between D0nohoe and Joyce and Collins
and Nelson, which the former team won
with ease. ScOre: 7-15. 15-7, 15-1.
Collins and Nelson next defeated Joyce
and Donohoe in two straight bouts, with
the sc0re I'LL, 1913.
HausmaDs anu Daily suffered defeat at
the hands Of Patterson and Vogelsang after
some lively serving. Score: 1913, 6-15,
15-12
Patterson and Vogelsang next defeated
Donohoe and Collins, with a score at the
finish of: 9-15. 1913, 15-14
Lawless and Hausman captured an easy
game from Farrell and Flyer, who made a.
poor showing playing la doubles. Score:
15-4, l0-15. 15-9.
A rather hard game, In which the tossing
was hard and effective, was next played be.
tween Feeney and Shields. and Dillon aud
Kearney, the former winning the rub, with
the score: 1872 1910, 15-9.
1t was late In the afternoon when the
event Of the day, triple handicap between
Jones, the Australian, and Lawless and
Kearney, was announced.
The game was played for purse OF $50
side. the conditions requiring the winner
to capture the best TWO out of three bouts
of 81 aces each.
Betting on the event was lively. and al
though Jones was heavy favorite Of 3 to
/, friends OF the local team did not hesi-
tate TO cover bets at such favorable odds
AS result considerable money changed
hands.
Lawless and Kearney are con sidered good
players in local handball circles, which
made the ntest Of unusual interest to the
spectators, especially as they had been
been practicing in doubles together for q
week past for the event.
From the beginning Jones was made
quickly aware of the fact that he must
either force the game or retire possible
loser.
The Australians tossing was rapid and
effective. and he covered the court In superb
style that won frequent plaudits from the
on-lookers. Despite the efforts OF his OPP
ponents he won the bout in two straight
games. with an unusually close score at the
finish of Pill, 21-20.
Those who attended the Union court
witnessed three well-contested doubles
played there.

CHILE is SULKY.
She Will Send No Exhibit
to Chicago.
The Report in Regard to the Visit of &
Chilean WarShip Pronounced a
Fabrication.

: few days ago a press dispatch from
New York announced that he Herald Of
that city had received word from its CORE
spondent at Valparaiso that The Chilean
warship lmpaTiale would leave that port
shortly for San Francisco with exhibits for
tie Worlds Fair The dispatch stated fur
Their that the Imperale would go 10 Van
CONVEX after discharging the exhibits here,
and on her return trip 10 Valparaiso would
carry back a number OF Chueans now in
California.
When the Chilean COnsuLGeneral in this
city, y Guerrero, was asked yesterday for
information regarding the coming Of the
Imperiale TO this port he shrugged his
shoulders and said he did not believe there
was word Of truth in the statement.
In the first place, lie said, there was no
warship Of that name sailing under the
Chilean flag. The South American Steam
ship Company has a steamship Of 1862 tons
burden called the Imperial, which made
trips between Valparaiso and other ports,
and this was the vessel which the Herald
correspondent probably had in view.
Nh Guerrero said he thought ii would be
a long time before any port in the United
nave not yet forgotten" lie added, "either
the Itats CT the Baltimore Incident They
have not forgotten how the Charleston
steamed down there. Why could not let
ter have been sent 10 the Chilean author
lilies by the Pres dent of the United States
asking the Itsta to return? They would
have sent her back and there would have
been no exh bition Of an attempt to humil-
late the Chilean Republic"
The reporter reminded the Consu-Gen-
eFal Of the fact that the ltata at that time
was on the sea as an enemy 10 the lawfully
constituted Government Of Chile. and that
she had offered the first insult by dropping
a United States Marshal over her side and
th~u running away.
''She was sailing under the Chilean flag.
sir, replied Mr.. Guerrero, "and as for the
deputy Marshal he waS a drunken fellow
who took bride Of $500 TO let the ltata 90. -
To give the conversation a more agree
able turn sTHE CALL reporter asked the
Consul General about the proposed Chilean
exhibit a. the Worlds Fair.
There will be no exhibit from Chile at
Chicago" he replied. That was settled
some time ago. My Government has de-
cined to take part in the Worlds Fair Tie
New York Herald correspondent at Val
paraiso is unreliable. / have advices that
there is to be no exhibit of Chilean pro-
ducts"
what about that part Of the report to
the effect that there are Chleans in Cali
f0rnia who are to be carried home on the
Imperial?'
The Imperial is not coming here. and
beyond one or two sailors, who are citizens
of Chile and are row in San Francisco wait
ing for a chance to return home. there is no
truth ia that part Of the report"
With the statement from Mr. Guerrero
that Chile had recovered from the effects Of
the last war, was daily gro wing more pros
porous, and had negotiated extensive loans
In Europe for internal improvements, the
interview with that gentleman closed.

HISTORICAL LIES.
Frederick the Great Told One, the

Boston Globe.
The historical lie most pregnant IN its
effects. so far as the Old World is concerned.
was the lie that was deliberately told by
Frederick the Great OF Prussia when he
promised his support TO the pragmatic sane
ton. in virtue of which Maria Theresa sue
ceeded 10 the throne OF Austria.
The effect Of this lie was practically to
plunge the whole Of Europe into war,
which very materially altered the possible
destinies of the continent and led TO an
enormous sacrifice of blood and treasure,
and which was felt in its remoter effects
over the whole world.
as regards the New World the most preg-
ant lie ever told was the description Of a
tabled F. Dorado, ercumsJantialy set forth
IN a book puhliShrd in the latter half OF the
sixteenth century by Antonio Galyano. IN
which ne related the alleged experiences OF
