The District Commissioners Office nine
started in to win the championship of the
Departmental League yesterday by defeat
Ing the Army and Navy team by the score
OF 81 to A. The District boys have now
much stronger team in many respects, and
had no trouble in getting away with the
warriors, in which transaction they were
greatly helped by the t1n errors of the latter
tear. The D. G. O.'s batted harder and
fielded better than their opponents, and
that is all that can be said Of the result.

VAN HEEST AND MARSHALL.
They Fought Twenty-Five Rounds to n
Draw Last Night.

Johnnie Van Heest, who claims to be the
125-pound champion Of America, and Jerry
Marshall, who Is said to be the weller
weight champion of Australia, met in
pugilistic contest for supremacy at the
Eureka Athletic Club house, in Virginia,
just across the Long bridge, last night.
Mr.. Van Heest Is white, and Mr. Marshall
is colored. They had crossed arms once be-
fore without decision, at Wheeling, w. Va.
On that occasion they SPARED thiriy-one
rounds to a draw. Last nights contest
was to decide which was the better man.
but 1t did not accomplish that result. The
event attracted large crowd Of sporting
men, many of wnom came from Phf1adel-
phia and Baltimore. The men put up
good. scientific fight for twenty-one rounds,
during which they were actively engaged
for over an hour, with the Same result
before-a draw. Trey entered the arena at
about the same weight-13O pounds. Van
Heest is short and stockE. anil Marshall.
like all Australian lighters, Is tall and
1.-the. When they shook hands it was seen
that Marshall had great advantage Ill
height and reach. Subsequent proceedings
showed that he was also cleverer end clorr
shifty than his antagonist. Van Heest was
clearly the stronger of the two, but he was
slow and clumsy on his feet. Van Heest
blows were avoided. He lad difficulty in
reaching mis- oppDns snts head and played
nearly altogether tor his stonach. They
were both gluttons for punishment, and did
not show nor seem TO mind The many hard
blows they received. AT :he end Of the
twentieth round The referee, Mr. Sutplen,
said he was unable to pick the winner and
ordered another round. That was fought
also without apparent advantage to eitner
and the contest was properly declared a
draw. Van Heest did the most fighting,
but at the finish Marshall appeared tC lie
in the better condition. Both were clever
and game, I'd gave a fine exhibition of the
art of self-defense Van Heest was serious
ly handicapped by his Inability to reach
his opponents head. EacL fighter was
struck hard and often. hut neither vas
knocked down. They were in excellent
condition, and although each exerted him
self to the utmost, Leither was much
harmed or exhaust u at the close.

cit is blessing in disguise" This and
similar comments were heard very gener-
ally this morning from those who gathered
about the Iuins Of the Y. NJ. C. A. building.
and also wherever the disaster was spoken
of. The meaning Of this remark is plain to
any one who has watched the development
of this association arc the increase in the
scope of its work and the membership.
For several years past it has been evident
to those who have the direction OF the
work of the association. as well as to the
membership, that a new building was
greatly needed AS IS well known. the
structure Just destroyed was almost en-
tirely inadequate for the needs Of the asso-
citation, and the directors have been con-
sfderfng ways and means for providing
the proper facilities for the expanding
work Of the association 1t is believed
now that the movement which has been
begun In favor of a new building Will re-
ceive such an impetus that 1t will result in
the raising Of fund which will enable the
building committee to provide a new and
suitable home for the association. 1t is
evident from what has been heard On
every side in the way Of comments on the
disaster this morning that the public SYM
pathy has been aroused. The good work
which has been accomplished by the asso-
clatl0H IS appreciated, anu 10 LIllS ldcL Is
largely due the financial support which the
association receives from business men and
citizens generally. The influence which the
association eAerts on young men, and the
provision which Is made for the education
of young men and for their amusement
and recreation, Is recognized as distinct
force in the community, and Is appreciated
especially by all those who have young
men in their employment.
With this favorable record of the past
and the prospect of continued good work in
the future, it is not surprising that the dis
aster which overlook the association has
enlisted widespread sympathy. and has
started the current of thought toward the
point of turning the apparent disaster into
a blessing. For this reason active brains
are already planning and generous hearts
are suggesting ways and means for sup
plying the association with home which
will be appropriate for its work and a cred
it to the city.
