SPORTING NOTES.
Hartford again today.

Hartford again today.
Shindle made several excellent stops.
The conquerors of Georgetown meet to-
day.
shindle and Gatins put up great ball
at short inheld
1t isn't often such play as was made
in the seventh is seen.
The new gun club expects to open up
with a tournament July 4.
The mighty sock" hasn't improved
since he left Holy Cross.
Hartford was In the greatest of good
luck to get their first run.
It's a reflection on the league to have
such a man as Burns umpiring.
Had Frisbee hit an inch further, the
bah would have gone over the fence.
Fitz is the favorite in Worcester, not
particularly from good wishes, though.
worcester sportsmen figure prominently
on the Maine registers in the trout region.
Kuhns played the game of the season
yesterday. He's improving on throwing.
When the men take off their coats in
the stand, they are very comfortable
looking.
There'u be a crowd at The Spy Office
this evening to hear quick returns Of the
big fight.
Klobedanz has a great move to keep
ne runners on first. He nabbed Shindle
nicely in the third
lnterSCnOlaStc Sports loiuVIIoW dl AllS
oval. Worcester Academy is not bad
guess for the winner.
Many of the Brooklyn fans believe John
Anderson is the equal, II not the superior,
of Jones in centre held.
Frisbee's race for the plate on Cars
out to MclIale tickled the crowd. He's
certainly a fast one on bases.
Either Fitz or Jeffries is guessing wrong.
Each saws he Will win, and will be enti-
tied to one more guess tonight.
Barnie has great team in those black
birds but the Worcesters are liable to
knock spots out of any pitcher.
If Worcester can only get Leach, he
will greatly strengthen the team. He's
playing great ball for Louisville.
1t is about time for horsemen to start
the ball rolling if Worcester IS to have a
Fourth of july matinee OF racing.
Paul J. and Michael A. Henry have
turned over their stable of horses to John
Kervick and his string is now complete.
1t was fortunate for both teams they
had an open date today, so they could
play off the postponed game Of Wednes-
day.
Pennsy doesn't intend 10 have Holy
Cross repeat It's victory of last year and
make the opening game of the trip disas-
trous.
johnson Of the Hartfords Is the best
coacher that has been seen at the oval
this year. His coaching adds life to the
game.
When Dad" Clark pulled stuart's
finger back into place, he acted as II
he had hold OF a rope in a tug-of-war
contest. ...

hunting ground with Hartford. II looks
as though the Indian viii be again on the

Sockalexis played in the field. but

player go.

balk, two hits and two errors let five
Brooklyn players cross the plate. He set
tied down after that and pitched great
ball. The fielding Of Dahlen and Stein

Boston, June SIT took 70 innings for
the champions to beat Louisville today.

HOW DID THEY DoITP

Providence. June SIN a 1O-inning
pitching battle, with brilliant playing in
the field on both sides, Springfield got the
winning run on a base on balls and some
nasty little bunting that went right from
a Springfield point of view, but decidedly
wrong from Providence. Little Gleason,
whose long two-bagger sent Brown in,
with the first run on the game scored
the winning run. The score:

ANOTHER COMMISSION. NEEDED
My belief is that we ought to have

entire conduct o. the Spanish war.
we might investigate the purchase OF

lowed for the purpose Of ra-electln1 che

1t is vastly more important that the

In reply Mr.. Hawley dischaiined any
intention of nm endeavor TO suppress
any facts. He then said he had made
the motion simply that the matter
might be considered by committee
with view to an ascertainment OF the
availability of the matter asked for.
RESOLUTION AMENDED.
= b 70 -
Mr.. Cockrel. of Missouri, believed
thnt the report of the investigating

ton was reconsidered and the request
was made of the President. IL not In
compatible With public interests, to
communicate the testimony and report
OF the commission to the Senate
Mr. Allison, Of Iowa, thought, too,
that the Senate ought to have the tesl
timony and report. and said: "I am
sure those who made the investigation
and the President will have no objec-
ton to the publication Of the natter"

dent, Mr.. Mcintosh.

nance Tint VIII satisfy Tho Pub.
Tic.

Mr.. George Mcintosh, president of
the Board of Water Commissioners
was interviewed by reporter of the
Virginian-Pilot, in reference to the
question of powers granted by the
City Councils to the Water Denart-
ment, and stated substantially as fol-
lows:
THE present Board has always be-
lieYed and acted under the belief tha +
the Councils had absolute control Of
every department of the city, in fact
the charter of the city of Norfolk pre-
scribes 1t, and there is no department.
OF the city which IS or SHOULD BE
EXEMPT from the control. super-
vision and investigation Of the lcgisla-
tive branch of our municipality. There
is nothing that the Water Department
can do which IS not subject to those
rights and duties on the part of the
councils, and it should not be other
wise. Speaking for myself and for NV
associates, we have always acted under
this conviction.
The same power that enacted an
ordinance can repeal 1t. The proper
way to settle this whole matter is
this: Let fair investigation of the
matter be made, and IL the ordinance.
as at present enacted, is too broad as
to the Water Department, let it be
curtailed in such manner as to give
the Councils full control Of 1t.
II take 1t that we all want good.
economic government. An ordinance
covering the powers and duties of the
Water Department, drafted In such a
way as will not curtail Its efficiency
too much, but sufficient to meet and
thoroughly satisfy the wishes Of the
nyIhl;c Ia what the BOARD would
heartily indorse and advocate to be
passed by the Councils.
1.-THE wish of the present Board Is
to cooperate with the Councils and
the public in anything which will
maintain the department in the most
efficient, as well as in the most eco
nomic manner
