things In connection with the income;

OUTLAWS CURVES DID 1T.
WASHINGTON BOYS TURN THE Ia
BLEs on THE {. L. As.

The wilkes COuntiahs Defeated the
Home Team II 10 8-The Visitors
One-Armed Pitcher PhenOme-
non-The {. L. As Best Batters
sent TO the Bench by His Decep-
tive Curves.
The principal attraction al the Wash
ington-C. /. A. ball game az the C. L. A.
park yesterday afternoon was QuiIian,
the one-armed pitcher OF the Washington
team. He was greeted with applause
when he went 70 the bat, and when he
succeeded IN making the initial run Of
the game for his side. He plays a re-
markedly strong game Of ball, and pitches
a deceptive curve that sent some OF the
Library teams best men 10 the bench
after they had franticauy famed the air.
The visitors realize what a sweet NOR
sci revenge is. They were beaten Friday
by a score OF II 10 4 and won yesterday
game on a score Of 10 TO l. Up TO the
sixth inning the principal feature Of the
game was the remarkable closeness Of
the score. No one could pick the winning
team al that time.
The first run for Washington was made
by QuIlian, in the third inning. O'Connor
made an error allowing the one-armed
phenomenon 10 reach first. and score on
the hit from Watkins. In this inning Wat
kins and Jackson also crossed the plate.
Murray secured a base on balls in the
third inning, and scored the first run Of
the game on an error and a stolen base.
Shreck and Outten scored by good stick
work in the fourth inning, tieing the
score
The c. L. A. team made one more run
In the sixth inning, Harper getting home
on hits from LeClaire and Coney. The
sixth, however, was the fatal inning for
the home team. Quillian was at bat in
this inning also, and made a One-arm
swing with the hickory that sent the ball
flying into right field. He easily reached
first. At this stage trouble began for
the. c. L. AS, and it did not
end until Washington had succeeded
in scoring four runs. Three Of the seven
errors of the Library team were made in
this inning. Harper threw wild to first,
O'Connor let a grounder pass, Murray did
the same thing and Harper a little later in
the inning made another costly error.
Every one of the visiting teams runs in
the eighth inning was earned. Nell was
batted heavily in this inning.
The game was witnessed by about 800
people. 1t was an enthusiastic crowd, how
ever, and good plays We're well applauded.
The score IS a s follows:

the bulletin boards yesterday to see what
the convention was going to do in the line
of vice presidents.
The favorite seemed to be Mclean. and
then Matthews and some thought that
perhaps Sibley might come In for the NOM
nation. But Sewall of Maine never en-
tered the back part OF anybOdy's head
