The Commits siOners' Office Team De-
feata the Light Infantry.

The District Commissioners office and
the Light Infantry teams met for the third
time this season at National Park yester-
day in the Departmental League schedule,
and the result was victory for the Dis
trtct office boys by a score Of o to I. The
city clerks won by batting Nicholson in the
second and fourth innings.
The game was well played throughout
three errors being credited to each team
and both pitchers were effective although
Nicholson was touched up rather lively
until the fifth. After that time he settled
down, and allowed the boys from the mu-
Eicipal building but one run. "Cy'' Cum
mngs. who pitched such good ball for the
Columbian University earlier in the sea-
son. occupied the box for the District boys
and allowed the Infantrymen only nine
hits, besides striking out lime men. In
only one inning, the fourth, did .he SOL
der boys succeed in landing more than one
run over the home plate, and their hits
were kept well scattered. 'Tubby'' Dick
enson, Fuller and Johnson each made three
hits, while Chamberlain and Nicholson led
at the stick for the Infantry. The attend
ance was good, and the star plays of the
game We're accorded hearty applause.
Jones and kleinschmidt led in the field,

sEwALL ON HIS PROSPECTS.
Thinks There Will BE a Great Change
in Maine.

Mr. Sewall. who was in Boston yesterday,
when asked what he thought of Mr. Reed
statement to the effect that he (SewalD
would not carry his own state or city. re-
piled:
We'll. don't know. Mr.. Reeds judg-
ment is good regarding politics in his state.
especially on his side of the question. Yet
1 believe there will be a great change in
the pine tree state this fall. l would not
dispute or put my opinion against Mr.
Reeds as to the result. Still, am conf
dent that my party will work with a great
deal of unanimity in the coming campaign,
and l think a great many republicans will
take the same view Of the matter.
In all seriousness. let me tell you that
the democratic party will win in the fall
election. A solid south and every state
west of the Mississippi WILL in my belief,
declare for our cause. That being the case,
what do we need of the eastern states, the
hotbed of gold advocates?
My associate, Mr.. Bryan, will take the
platform in the east. and l place a great
deal in the power of his arguments and his
magnificent oratory. This has been deter
mined upon by the national committee, ana
the campaign Of education will be started
at an early date.
THE people of the east do not yet under
stand the question, but they will be alive
