MEETING

SlBlE - ATLANTIC LEAGUE
MEETING.
wilmington was defeated by Lam
caster yesterday in q ten-innig con-
test by a score OF TO s.. Until the
ninth inning Lancaster had all the best
of the game. The score when Whining
ton came TO bat in the ninth was TO
3 against it. Up to that time the con-
test had been one of desultory lassi-
tude, neither side apparently playing
with its usual snap. But that ninth
showed that there are times when the
Wilmington Club really can play ball.
But this soothing reflection is of little
benefit to the average crank when he
thinks of the many, many other times
when it really can't play.
Newell was the first man 10 bat in
the ninth and he batted the ball into
deep left centre for three bases. Nc
lntyre followed with a rafting good
double and Newell scored. Spratt then
hit safe and Mac" scored.
BY this time the little punches of
"fans" who had assembled on the
bloachers and in the stand had become
almost frantic with delight at the un-
expected turn affairs had taken.
When Kinsella came up and followed
the lead of the others by driving out a
long double on which Spratt scored, a
listener might have thought there were
10000 instead of 200 people on the
ground, Judging from the noise they
made
Cargo and Montgomery singled and
Kinsella scorod but Cargo went out to
second Wisebecker went out on an
easy grounder to second. Anderson
hit and Montgomery scored, tying the
score.
Amole came to bat with the only
chance of winning lying with him, but
he struct out.
In Lancasters half of the ninth il
was unable to score. and Wilmington
suffered the same fate In the beginning
of the tenth.
In Lancasters half Buttermore led
of He was given a base on balls
through poor judgement of balls by
Jones. Hamburg went out to Amole
and Henry went out to Mcintyre, but
Soybold got a little single, on which
Buttermore scored, through his inter-
ference with Cargo's attempt o get the
ball But TO be sure MIR. Jones did not
see the play, and the game went to
Lancaster.
lt was a pretty contest, and that
ninth inning more than repaid the
cranbs for their invested coin.
Newell played a remarkable game al
third yesterday, and showed that when
in good condition and willing to do his
best, an of the praise that he has re-
ceived IS deserved. He had six as
sists, four put outs, three hits, one a
triple. and two runs.
Mcintyre, too, played phenomenal
ball having three assists six put
outs and a two-base hit Cargo'ssprain-
ed ankle is still in bad shape, but he
played bali yesterday as If he were in
the best condition, having eight as
sists and three put outs. The score:

Arctic Fruits.

In spite of the latitude and the arctic
current, Labrador is the home of much
that is delicious in the berry world. Even
the outlying Island furnishes the curlew
berry and bake apple in profusion, and
upon the mainland, in the proper month,
September, a veritable feast awaits one.
There are three varieties of blueberries,
huckleberrieS, wild red %currants, having a
pungent, aromatic flavor, unequaled by
the cultivated varieties, marshberries,
raspberries, tiny white capillaire tea ber-
res, with a flavor like some rare per-
fume. and having just a faint suggestion
of wintergreen; squash berries, pear ber-
ries and curlew berries, the latter not so
grateful as the others, but a prime favor
lite with the Eskimos, who prefer them
to almost any other, and, lastly, the typi-
cal Labrador fruit, which, excepting a
few scattering plants in Canada and New
foundland, is found, I believe, nowhere
else outside of the p-eninsula-the gorge
Gus bake apple.
These cover the entire coast from the
st. Lawrence to Ungava. Their beautiful
s~eranlum-like leaves struggle with the
reindeer moss upon the islands, carpet
alike the low valleys and the highest hill
tops and even peep from banks Of ever
lasting snow. Only one berry grows
upon each plant, but this one makes a
most delicious mouthful. 1t is the size
and form of a large dewberry, but the
color is a bright crimson when shalf-ripe
ard a golden yellow when matured. It's
taste is Sweetly acid.-Critic.

John Walton was tried in the General
Sessions Court yesterday AFTERNOON for
obtaining s2S froms the North Hudson

Walton got SIS, all that was due him.

On the regular payday, the 18th, a man,
said to be Walton, presented himself to
Paymaster Lester, said he was Maurice
Shea, another Of the a. and got Shea's
money, $28. He signed Shea's name to
the payroll. Half an hour afterward the
genuine Shea went to get his money and
was told he had already drawn 1t. He
soon convinced the paymaster that there
was a mistake, and he got his money the
next day. A warrant was issued for
Waftom's arrest, but he was not found
fer nearly a year.
Walton's defence was an abb. He said
he left the company's employ because
he was offered a better job in New
Haven. He went to New Haven on Sep
TENDER 16, and remained there for eleven
months. This first he knew that HI was
suspected was when he returned to visit
his relatives in this city mi was ar

Paymaster Lester positively identified
the defendant as the man who had per.

he found Callahan in the car on F'ebru-

standing with his back to the car when
Moran came along and arrested him.
There was nothing in the car, and the
door was wide open. He aid he did not

West Forty-sixth street, New York, was

morning in Justice Potts court.
Shortly after seven O'Clock last night
Policeman Egan was attracted to No.

He was told that a man had burglarized
the house and then set fire to It. The
offender was pointed out to him. Egan
gave chase and captured A1dridge and
removed him to the Seventh street sta
ton. The burglary and arson charge
was knocked into a cooked hat by in

on Mrs. Louisa Ackers. Aldridge spent
all his money for whiskey and then Mrs.
Ackers suggested that hi pawn his

her caller alone for a few minutes. He
