Game.
Both Twirlers Kept the Hits Well
Scattered at the Critical
Stages.

There was one of the warmest struggles
ever seen on local ballfield during the
last five innings of the game at Sixteenth

At the end OF the eighth inning the score
was tied, and SO continued up to the tenth.

son enabled the Imperials to beat the San
Franciscos.
Although errors were by no mears
scarce during the contest they were almost
equally divided and cost one side inst
about as much as the other. The San
Frapciscos outbatted their opponents, but
Kelly kept the local mems hits we'll scat
tered and was very effective at critical
periods. Cooney, too, did well.
The bright particular star of the game,
however, was Smith, the third baseman OF
the Imperials.

any one Of which, had he made an error,
the game would have gone to the locals.
The error was never made, though.
Smith successfully accepted thirteen
chances, securing eight putoutS and five
assists. Three times he fielded balls to
first when it looked as if the batsman
would secure hit. He also pulled down
several difficult flies. Mckee, who played
right field for the Imperials, and Muller,
who guarded left garden, also did we'll.
Mckee made two wonder fuI throws to
third, while Muller cut off a man at the
plate by great throw from his territory.
Wilds also deserves special mention, but
the entire side, with the possible excep-
ton of Nealon, put up great game.

the HypnOtist in a New
PLAY.

Wilton Lackaye, who has been one of
the attractions at the Colum bia for four
weeks past, finished his engagement last

This morning Mr.. Lackaye will leave for
New York, where he is to begin immediate
rehearsals for his new play, "Dr. Bel

'Dr. Belgraff'' he is to have role which,
IN many respects, is a suggestion OF his
masterpiece.
DR.. Belgraff is a hypnotist and the char
acter is said to be a very powerful one.
Marie Wainwright is to act as Lackaye' S
Leading lady and it is predicted that a
death scene between the two stars will be

BARON HERMAN HERE.
Young German NobIeman Making a
Special Study of Forest and Agri-
cultural Industries.


Baron B. R. Herman, tall, striking
looking, young and unmarried, is at the
Palace Hotel.
de is attached to the German Legation
at Washington and is making two special
investigations in this country for his home
Government. One is the study of the agri-
cultural industries, the other of the forest
industries.
So far he has visited the central and
northwestern States and British Columbia
ana the States of Washington and Oregon.
While In this City he will confer with the
National Forest Commissioners, and later
Will explore the forest regions OF Cali
fornia.
He says that Germany has long had a
very well defined, strict and perfected sys-
tenn IN the management and preservation
OF her forests, but is willing to learn any
thing more that may be of value. The
forest area of Germany is one-fourth the
whoie country, and one-third of the tim
Der land is owned by the Government,
one-thlrd by communities and the remain
ing third by private individuals.
The Baron expresses some surprise at
the youthfulness of many of the married
men In America, and declares that the
young fellows in Germany cannot afford
to get married much before they are 80 on
account OF the expense of maintaining an
establishment. His own estates are in
Wurtemberg.

would have to go on. We were too well

order to do so. I remember once he
started us out, lost his breath, was un-
