The liberal government in Canada is
preparing TO hold referendum on the
subject OF prohibition. A bill is being
prepared which will provide for a vote
by the entire people of Canada on the
advisability Of passing a federal pro-
hibitory act. forbidding the manufac-
ture. importation and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. Since 1873 there have been
piebiscites in the four provinces OF
Manitoba, Prince Edward Island. On
tario and Nova Scotia on the subject.
each of which gave majority for pro-
hibition, the aggregate in the four be-
ing 132.91s votes. 1t seems more than
likely that prohibition Will receive a
majority at the proposed plebiscite for
the whole dominion. but it is not sure
that the government will then pass a
prohibitory law.

A Rotten Performances.

1.-The Scorer" is indignant this week
over the worst game ever played at the
Park.
The Midland people came for the
game-came to take it by foul means
if fair would not win. Hence, their
ethics of baseball, like rogue's re-
ligion, was on this occasion the rotten
est thing about them.
But the JOURNAL does not mean to
anticipate its great correspondent,
"The Scorer
The least said about last Saturdays game
the better for all concerned. The Midland
team came here ostensibly to play game of
ball. but from its conduct the patrons of the
Driving Park have about concluded that
when it comes again Gf it ever does they
will be conspicuous by their absence. The
players on that team seem to know more
about the game than all the umpires on
earth, and any decision that Just doesn t
suit them, no matter whether right or wrong,
they are ready to do the "baby act and quit,
ioi SS'tihS tihl many pCopiC plOoCht pay
from twenty-five to fifty cents each and make
many sacrifices besides to see game. That
kind of conduct is demoralizing and gives
baseball black eye for a long time to come.
To any tair-mlnded spectator it was APP
parent that the Midland team was getting the
very best of the argument, so far as the de-
cisions of the umpires were involved. Mr..
tl,n 4
eleven men to first base on balls in the seven
innings played-a record that has never been
equaled in this or any other town. and seven
of those eleven scored. Several of their
players never made an effort to hit the
ball, though they had to all appearances
good chances. Byrnes, the Short-stop, got
passed four times, or every time he went to
the bat. The question is asked by many
base ball patrons-"what did those fellows
want, anyhow"
Enter, pitcher for Midland, did the very
best twirling he ever did against Frostburg
though in the seventh we had him up in
balloon and, in consequence, scored four
runs.
This was too much for the gang, and the
feeling prevailed that Entler had run his
string" The proposal came to quit" and
they embraced it Immediately.
Jackson, who deserted the home team,
caught Entler, and though he exerted him
self more than usual and did for Midland
what he never did for Frostburg, played
'scrappy ball" His work did not reflect any
rainbow hues' and as one Of the kids said,
she never got hit"
Wolf pitched a good game despite the adj
verse circumstances, and Williams gave him
good support behind the bat.
In the early stages Of the game the boys
were very weak at the bat and though hits
were made they were scattered. 1t was not
until the seventh inning that they got
their eye on the ball, when, with three hits
a base on ball, they scored four runs. This
as stated, was too much for Murphy's
Midgets and they collapsed.
