A SUCCESSFUL LEAGUE.

The Burlington County League season
is practically closed. Beverly won the
pennant, and should receive it without
further ado The talk of throwing out a
game that was fairly won from strength
ened team is unsportsmanlike and unreas
able.
The contest was close during the entire
season, and at scarcely any time was it
safe to pick the winner. The finish was
particularly exciting, more so than the
most sanguine supporters of the League
had anticipated.
True craftsmanship governed the ac-
tions of majority of the club managers
and the season closes with an almost gen
eral good feeling in every quarter. OF
course there is a keen disappointment
over defeat in one OF two instances that is
deeper than shows on the surface, but that
will wear off in week or two.
The one big problem that confronts the
League if it is to continue next year is to
remedy the i'll treatment that has been &C
corded visiting clubs in a few of the towns
on the circuit. There is no sense or
craftsmanship in allowing spectators to
assist in coaching, to villify players in
language that should land the utterers in
jail, to interfere with the game by crowd
ing on the diamond, to so intimidate UNI
pires that decisions were changed for fear
of bodily violence, etc. These abuses are
so well known that full enumeration and
description is not needed. That they
have existed even some guilty consciences
have amply testified.
Are they to be continued next year is
the question. Is the pressure so strong
that certain teams must win at home I'M
der any circumstances or by any methods
1t is to be hoped that such is not the case,
and that, if the sport is to be continued,
there will be a change for the better, so
that clubs and umpires will not again
dread visit to the towns heretofore guilty
of the misdemeanors

When wear begins to exceed repair in
your body you are going to fall sick. The
signs of it are: loss of flesh, paleness, weak
ness, nervousness, etc. The repair needed
is food. You think you eat enough, and
yet you feel that you wear out more tissue,
energy, nerve-force, than your food makes
for you. The difficulty is that you do not
digest enough And this is so serious it is
worth sitting down seriously to think about.
If you can't digest what you eat, take a
few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial
The effect of it will be to increase your
flesh and make you feel stronger You
won't fall sick Proof that it is in control
of your repair apparatus. It's easy enough
to test this for yourself Take few bot
ties of Shaker Digestive Cordial.

MOUNT Holly %, DELANoo /.

1t was the largest score made in the
League this season. That's about all that
can be said of the game at the fair ground
on Saturday. 1t was too one-sided, of
course, to be exciting, but there were
some interesting features nevertheless,
namely: Mount Holly played an errorless
game; of the 81 hits Logan made four
three three baggers and single; Dunn's
pitching was good; the home team stole
IA bases; Eynon's work in left field was
fine; Hitchner captured red hot line fly
and completed double play by throwing
to Denness; Shinn caught a difficult fly
after sitting down on the grass to make
the play look more effective, and Harry
Cross umpired.
That's all
The score:

enter protest for the reason that a new
pitching artist McCloud, had been en-
gagged by Bordentown whose name did
not appear on the list of players of that
club. Beverly won, however, and it was
naturally supposed that ended the matter
But Bordentown gave notice that the
protest should be considered at mana
gers meeting, and the heretofore unheard
of point in base ball leagues was raised
that the club which apparently violated
the rules should benefit thereby by hay
ing the game set aside Beverly did not
enter a protest and was not accused of
any illegal act, yet it was asked to suffer
by having the game set aside for the rea-
son that its opponent had new men on
their team. 1t was finally decided last
night to refer the matter to committee
of three for adjudication at an early date.

Speakership Fight.

Washington, May 1.-The Speaker
ship fight has taken fresh activity By
the arrival of Gen. Henderson, of
Iowa, in the city and the announce
ment by Representative Tawney, Of
Minnesota, that he is for Sherman OF
New York. William Alden Smith, of
Michigan. has also declared for Sher-
man, while Curtis, of Kansas, says
that the New York man will have at
least six votes from the Sunhower
State.
According to the opinion of a Sher-
man enthusiast: This makes it look
very bright for Mr.. Sherman, and his
friends already claim that, with six
from Kansas, four from Ohio, one
from Minnesota and three from Michi-
gan, not to mention one from the
South, with the Eastern votes promis-
ed, it looks as though Mr.. Sherman
has good chance of election"
Representative Payne, however, has
written a letter to a friend in Wash
ington. in which he takes the ground
that Mr.. Sherman is not the choice of
the New York delegation. and SAYS III
the letter that he is not out of the
Speakership fight by any means. He
also adds that he has surprise IN
store which will. when he is ready &c
announce it, astonish some of the can
didates This letter has caused some
surprise in Washington.

OTIS AGAIN DECLINES.
Holds Another Conference with Filipino
ENJOYS of Two Hours Duration.

ENJOYS of Two Hours Duration.
Manila, May A. The Filipino Com
missionerS held another conference of
two hours duration with Gen. Otis
this morning and subsequently visited
the American Philippine Commission
ers. The situation is apparently un-
changed. Gen. Otis, in an interview
after the conference, said that the Fill
pinos asked for a three months arm
istice in the entire archipelago. They
admitted under questioning that they
did not control all OF the islands, but
said that they wished to obtain time TO
ascertain the opinions of all the people.
Agunaldo also requests time in or
der, as he says, to convene the Filipi-
no Congress and have the situation
discussed by that body. Gen. Otis
positively refused to grant an armis-
tice.
The Filipino Commissioners argue
that the Spanish prisoners should he
regarded in the same light as Ameri-
cans. The Spaniards were the old en-
envy and the Americans are the pres
ent enemy. Besides, the United
States have become possessed of the
Spanish property and have assumed
the Spanish obligations. Consequently
their footing is similar to that of the
Spaniards before~the recent war was

Saloon Robbed.

Tuesday when Mr. Harry Little enter
ed his place of business, in which he had
formerly kept saloon, he noticed that a
pane of glass had been broken out of one
Of the rear windows. Upon further in
vestigation he found that his saloon had
been entered and some small change, out
of the money drawer, some cigars and
liquor had been taken.
II is not known whether the saloon was
entered on Sunday or Monday night. Tues
day was the first time he noticed the
glass was broken and it is supposed that it
was entered on Monday. The hasp on the
door leading into the cellar, where most of
the liquor is kept, had been tempered with,
but the thief did not succeed in entering
the cellar. Only small amount of money
was in the drawer.
