Boumi Temple, Mystic Shrine of Ralti-
more. came over to Washington yesterday
and completely smothered Almas Temple
of this city in a base ball game at National
after it had degenerated into a slugging
exhibition the part of the Baltimoreans
and a running exhibition by the Washing
ton players but the spectators kept up in
terest by the unmcrciful guyng that was
INDUCED In at the expense of the brothers
of AlmaS Temple, and at no time during
the game was there Il dun moment in this
regard. The score stood at 26 to 10 at the
close of the eighth inning, and the trouble
was that the Baltimore temple had been 50
unloyal to their Washington brethren as
TO import a pitcher whom the latter could
not touch. While the Boums made twenty
one base hits the Amas could not connect
for more than eight, and the hits of the
former aggregation were all long ones and
well placed.
Davis pitched for the visitors and struck
out eleven men. while House. Springman
and James were easy. c. Seigmund led in
the batting with four hits to his credit,
one of them a homer while Roeder also
made four. one of them being a double. 1t
Is curious to note that the eight hits made
by Washington were distributed down the
batting order. each one getting hit, eX
cept Domer. the last man on the list. The
home team had eleven errors counted
against them, Walker at third being parti-
cularly off in his play, but he and the
men behind did not care. They were out
simply and solely to have a good time and
what did it matter If the visitors did get
twenty-one base hits? The only thing they
did not like was the fact that they had to
chase the leather, but it had to be done
and this furnished all the amusement for
the spectators. A close study of the score
Will reveal some interesting facts.

COURSE ON THE CAMPUS.

The Charges Against Him Preferred
by the College AuthOrities-SeriOu
Lack of Judgment Charged in His
Disregard For the Rights of 9th
ers-The order 10 His Battalion to
Clear the Field Declared an As

General Watts Of the state militia on May
p precipitated fight between a battal-
ion of infantry and the students of the
South Carolina college by ordering the
troops to clear the diamond while the
students were playing a game of ball.
Charges were preferred against Gen.
Watts to Gov. Ellerbee by the college au-
thorities. He ordered a court of inquiry
to investigate the charges. The court
to-day completed its work and reported
it's finding and recommendations to the
governor.
The court in it's finding said: I'm TAX

crowd Of turbulent students at or near
tIiIu DdSe, thereby GHCIOdCHlnB upon the
lawful territory of the base ball players,
and uselessly interfering with their game,
when ample and suitable grounds were
available near by Gen. Watts showed
serious lack of Judgment, and disregard
for the rights of others.
His ordering the battalion forward for
the purpose of clearing the field was an
assumption of authority that was unwise,
unnecessary and unwarranted."
The adjutant general of South Carolina

people and hence not subject to court
martial as in other states This being the
case the court of inquiry recommended
that the governor lay the whole matter
before the general assembly for it to i'm

governor and commander-in-chief pub
lish a general order reprmanding Gen.

WANT COTTON RATES CUT.
The Griffin Board of Trade Makes
Another Appeal.

Atlanta, Ca. June 24.-The Griffin board
of trade and other citizens of that commu-
nifty have Joined in a petition to the rail-
way commissioners to have the rates for
shipping cotton within the state of Geor-
gia reduced % per cent. They claim that
since the prevailing rates were established
the production of cotton has increased and
the price gone down, but the cost of trans
portation has not decreased. They claim
also that though the improvement in the
railroads, railroad equipment and railroad
consolidation, the expense of hauling has
largely decreased. They ask a rate in
keeping with the times. considering the
old rate out of date. The commissioners
have set the case for the 29th instant.
