THE CENTRALS WIN.
they Defeat the Westerns in an
Exciting Game.


The Centrals won the Inter High School
championship by defeating the Westerns
at National Park by a score of . to 9.
It was a great If not a strictly scientific
game, and was thoroughly enjoyed by six
Or seven hundred friends Of the members
pf the teams.
The spectators consisted chiefly of the
young lady and gentleman pupils of the
several high schools OF the city, and they
were all there for the avowed purpose or
cheering their favorites on to victory. Tie
friends of the two teams divided, the cham
pions of the Westerns taking the north
side and the friends of the Centrals the
south section of the grand stand In these
sections everyone showed their loyalty to
their favorite team by wearing or carrying
q bunch of the colors of the school which
the team represented
The game started out very prettily and
bt the end Of the fourth inning was tied,
zach team having scored eight runs. In
the fifth, however, by some timely hitting
assisted by errors of the boys from the
Rock Creek section, the Centrals piled up
six runs The Westerns pulled themselves
together again and during the next fourinn-
ings allowed their opponents only to score
once more This, however, did not profit
them any, for they, too, were only able
TO send one man across the plate after
the fatal fourth inning.
Bothrhe pitchers, Messrs. Bach chandDurdln,
did excellent work, but at times the sup
port given them was enough TO dishearten
them.
After the game the Centrais took Nh.
Durdin on their shoulders and gave him
q turn around the bases. The score:

AN AUDACIOUS ATTEMPT.

A sensational scandal in the general
land Office accompanies the change of
administration. 1t almost passes credi-
bility that such q thing as lhe seizure
of large body of land in such a city
as Chicago should be attempted,
though manipulation OF the general
land office. Yet it has actually been
attempted. The land is Oh the lake
front, and is claimed by the scrip fiIer"
as public land. The scrip" itself has a
history. 1t is warrant originally
granted to a soldier of the Mexican
war, named Mckee, and is lawful and
valid. 1t authorized hin to lay claim
to 100 acres of public land of the Unit
ed States, subject to the appOVal Of the
! president. Mckee dieu without having
| located" his WarralC, and congress
| passed an act to continue his rights in
| his legal representatives. In this sec
| Ond act, the term vacant" which had
! been used in the first, to designate the
land that might be covered by the war
| rant, was aCCldently or puTpOSely omit
ted. The scrip passed into the hands
of spectators who have long been
seeking an opportunity to use it for IL
grab" They thought they had found
such opportunity at Tacoma, and at
tempted to lay the warrant on 120 acres
adjoining that town. Bnt this claim
failed; and now they try it upon the
open lake front at Chicago, the title to
which rests in United StateS-though
the land is used for park purposes, and
ear lines are allowed along its water
side. The persons who conceived the
idea'of laying their scrip upon this land,
of course, made their first move upon
the general land office, In secrecy, as
it seems, the commissioner decided in
favor of the steal; and COPY of the
decision was given out to the parties
most interested in it. But before the
decision could be promulgated, obtain
ment, of the approval of the secretary
of the interior was necessary. The sec
rotary, however, when the matter was
brought to his attention, refused 20
give his approval suspended the order
for PRONUNCIATION, and left the case to
be dealt with by his successor. These
things were done during the closing
dsys of the Cleveland administration.
But the decision of the land office. thus
surreptitiOusly, and, rs it would appear.
corruptly obtained, is in the hands of
the grabbers, and the disgIaced com
missioner of the land Office is at home
suffering from nervous prostration.~
The new secretary orders the decision |
of the commissioner to be reversed or |
Cancelled, and will have the parties sum !
for a rehearing before a new
commissioner soon to be appointed.
This is case of extraordinary auda-
city. 1t is inconceivable how the
grabbers could have supposed that the
scheme could succeed. 1t is less diff
icult to account for the action of the
official who did the work they required.

a REMINDER,

Some time ago THE TRIBUNE had
something to say about the beet sugar
industry, We attempted to point out
the magnitude of the industry and the
possibilities of this section of country
in developing it. The farmers will, we
think, make great mistake if they do
not give serious attention and study to
the question of beet raising. Let it
once be demonstrated that we have a
soil rich in the elements going to the
production of good sugar beet, aud it
will do more for our rapid development
and permanent prosperity than would
the discovery of dozen valuable
mines. 1t dosn't cost scarcely anything
to make the experiment. A few cents
invested in seeds and little attention
through the summer and the thing is
done. 1t is now highly probable that
sufficient tariff will be placed on i'm,
ported sugar to encourage home pro-
ducLlon, and within the next year cap
italists will be looking for beet growing
localities with view to erecting fac,
tories. These factories are in them.
