much money he wanted for this season. If
the figure named was within reason I

Inc old sycamore, which grew close to the

was long enough to allow the gray-suited
and blue-stockinged giants from the uni
Versity TO score total of twenty-eight
runs to round, big goose egg for the Wis

inability to hit Tracy and Lambert. and
also made some costly errors in the field
especially in the outer regions, that told
in the run-getting.
The Georgetown boys did not have much
work to do, but the infield work was very
good. They appeared in new suits of gray
with blue sweater and stockings, and look
ed every inch champion team The
bleachers were occupied mostly by students
but the other side of the grounds was we'll
filled by outsiders. The game was neces-
audible coaching, and, of course, the noise
made by an opposing team would have no
effect on them.
Mahoney covered first base like a wall
While Fleming at second was also in the
way of everything that came in his direc-
ton.
Both the Georgetown pitchers showed
good command of the ball. and Maloney
held them both in good shape Mahoney

batting, with three hits apiece, while only
three hits were made off the GEORGETOWN

The Single Tux C,uh.

President Biler of the Single Tax Club
read paper last night before the club on
the single tax and other tax systems, con-
trasted and compared, in which he under
took to show that other systems than the
single tax deprived the citizen of the prod
uct of his own exertions. The single tax
system, he held. took merely the fund ere
ated by the community. The taxation of
personal property led to an inquisitorial sys-
tenn. which resulted in perjury. 1t was also
an evil, he claimed. because it put a pen
atty on mans productiveness and thrift.
Single tax, however, took for the communi-
ty only what the community created.

The University of Virginia nine is likely
to be good one this year. Yesterday the

St1vetts, Mains, Dolan and Sullivan, who
were in the box for Boston.
Tom fuckers batting days are evidently
not over. Yesterday he made a homer, a
double and single.
The New Yorks have played eleven games
at Jacksonville, but are disgusted that
they have not been able to play oftener.
Ihe most attractive feature of Spalding's s

OF half-tone pictures of the National
