be called down.

last nine games.
Cross had fourteen chances at short yes
tcrday and accepted twelve of them.
Mcmahon is pitching better ball this
year than any twirler in the league.

the game. BE pilfered no less than four
bags yesterday.

Briggs and Thornton from Grand Rapids,
and send Parker and Mcfarland to take
their places.

est outfield in the league, and says that
fans will agree with him when they see
the Cclonels play.

old National players will play a benefit
game for Phil Baker The Mile Limits
will be the opposing team.
Gilroy's pitching bad much to do with the
victory of Norfolk over the Portsmouth
team yesterday, who made but seven hits
off the farmed-out Senator.
Wand, the Princeton player, who was
to JOIN the Colonies in Cleveland, will
not report. The deal is off, and the Col
oDeis will continue to play as they stand.
Wand made few demands that Manager
MCGupnigie would not concede, and hence
he will remain u Tiger instead of becom-
ing Colonel. Wand has been playing
great game at short for Princeton.
One of the quickest double plays ever
seen on the grounds came in the third
inning. With Thompson on first. Brouth-
ers sent a hot grounder to Doyle, who
quickly fired it to Jennings at second, and
Hughey returned it to Jack in time to
complete double on Wappinger Dan.-
Baltimore Herald. The most ordinary
fielding can always retire such slow run
Ders as Sam Thompson and Brouthers.

the same not being labeled. Mr.. Payne
keeps dairy lunch at No. 5000 n street

sent when tue inspector called aid did not

milk in can, but if it was so, he did
not desire to fight the case. He threw him
self on the mercy OF The court and was fined
So, which was paid.

he found below, the average. 1t was un-
labelled When Mrs Myers was told that
she had skinned milk for sale, she raised
her hands in horror, and said to Judge KIM

Yes. sir"
..Do you live with HIM"
"why, yes. sir, OF course" she wered
in great surprise.
A NEW LAW TESTED.
Mr.. Pugh, this man can't testify said
the court. Mr.. Pugh thought otherwise,
the woman having the business in her
name and her husband being disinterested.
Judge Kimball inquired if the law re-
| lating to the rights OF women in the Dis
trict had passed Congress, and was i'll
formed it had. 1t developed that the
violation of the Ia was before the passage
OF the act, and the husbands testimony
| was invalid. Judge Kimball so ruled.
Five dollars"
Mrs Myers remarked: 1T is a pretty pass
| when a womaD's husband can't tell what
he knows because it will help her, and,
deed, your honor, 1 did not skim my
milk
1T was below the average said the
court; "you will have to observe the law"
