There will be deviation from the
recognized rules in today's race, both
owners having agreed that the horses
shall tn Ike the pole in alternate heats.
Under ordinary conditions the winner
of heat takes the pole in the succeed
ing heat and thus has an advantage,
but in today's race the chances will be
equalized. In the deciding heat the
owners of the two horses will draw
for the pole.
A committee appointed by the
commended that milk and dairy in
spector be appointed, instead of enact
ing an ordidance barring diaries from
the city limits. The inspectors duties
snail be the inspection off diaries for
cleanliness and health and the inspec-
ton of all milk for adulteratiOn and
cleanliness. 1t is to be hoped that the
board olhealth will tonight recommend
such an ordinance to the ely. Nearly
from the late floods and heavy rains
and their owners have been put to con-
siderable expense by these floods and
it looks like an Injustice to drive them
from the city where they have so long
remained and against whom there
never was before a charge Some one Is
apparently trying to get in some spite
work against parties who are succeed
ing beyond the desires of enemies.
The fourth ward citizens are COM
planning about the bad condition OF
their streets to which the street COM
missioner is paying no attention. At
the intersection of north Santa Fee and
Missouri streets there is wash that
ruins that part of Missouri street and
cuts half way across Santa Fe
street. The wash is deep and
any one riding along there at night
could be badly I'M ured. The citizens
living in that section drive over q new
road over vacant lot. This street
should receive prompt attention or
damage suit against the city may be
the result. Alderman Drummer says
he has called Street Commissioner
Walss attention to the street several
times.
Manchester, in Adams county, has
colored baseball nine that has been
beating everything in southern Ohio,
says the "Ohio State Journal" Not
long since they sent word to West IN
ion, the county seat of that county, that
they wished to arrange for a game
WILL Llc COlOICu UOyS on UuoU PI1SO.
Although West Union had no regular
ly organized nine the challenge was
accepted. A team was gotten together
aud put to practice.
The day for the game arrived and
the two teams met on the fair grounds
The West Union boys had several
players in their team who had never
been in a match game and knew as lit
tie about the rules as they did about
playing. One of them was Pete John
SOP, a tall, raw ed darkey, who was
assigned to hold down first base. Pete's
hands were as big as barn door, and
when he opened them out it looked as
if it were impossible for a ball to pass
him.
The game was called and the visitors
took the bat. The first man up hit an
easy little pop-up to first base. Pete
got under it. It fell plump into his
to one side. The batter reached his
base. Pete picked up the ball, and,
stepping up to the base, hit the runner
in the back with the hand con taining
the ball and almost knocked the breath
out of him.
He stood holding the ball, apparent
ly waiting for the runner to vacate the
base Presently he said:
"You'se out, niggah
the runner.
"Mistah niggah. 1 SEE you'se OUT"
repeated the burly first baseman.
Nav, I isn't OUT" protested the
runner. 81 wuz on my base when you
touched me.''
'.An' you sez you isn't out?''
Course l isn't out, man. You fro
de ball to de pitcher"
The umpire called out that the man

ran bis band down into his pants pock
ct and drew out an ugly looking razor.
Striking q menacing attitude, he again
his attention to the runner and
said:
''Mistah piggah 4 SEE once mo- you Sc
out. Now isn't you Out?" and he open
ed the blade of the razor.
"Yessir, yessir," replied the now
frightened runner. '1'se
out, Use out" and he hurried off the
base.
That ended the game. The visitors
saw clearly that they had no pos
sible show of ever getting past first
base.
