happened that all knew a place where
pies grow. and all four went for the place.
This particular spot happened to be the
bake shop of Charles King, a pie baker,
at No. SO Clerk street. The lads entered
the bakery while the proprietor was at q
picnic, and made away with arms full
Of the delicious morsels.

Oaks .....- .........U "
Manager Fred Mergheimer, of the West
New York Field Club. has formed the
opinion that his team was unfairly dealt
with by the umpire of the game at West
End Sunday and also by the press. He
says that good authority recognizes the
right Of a coacher to grasp a base runner
and prevent his continuing when he will
be in anger Of being put out. AS a mat
ter of fact there is no rule in the guide
that prevents such action on the part of
a coacher.
Mr.. Mersheimer challenged Manager
vultee of the Jersey City Baseball Club
to another game at the West nj grounds
Sunday. but has cancelled thai challenge
because he takes exception to some ac-
tion of the Jersey Cit manager, real or
Imagined. He also issues another chal-
lenge. which ii that he will play his team
against the Jersey City team on neutral
grounds for the whole of the gate re-
ceipts for a series of three games. and
will bet 'any amount Of money" that
West New York will win the series.
Manager Vultee says che will play the
West New York team at West End,
August 10, as originally arranged on Sum
day night. both teams to be the same as
on Sunday ana Tim Hurst to umpire.
only after this will the Jersey City man
talk business.

A FLOOD IMPROBABLE.
Relief Over the Assurance That the
Danger Is Past.

The danger of a food is said to be dimin
that the water was high enough on Thurs
day TO cause serious apprehension among
river men, and the merchants who have
business interests in the low sections of the
city The belief that the crisis has passed
is entertained by both the Harbormaster
and the Weather Bureau. The former bases
his belief on the fact that much of the dam
gerous ice has passed down stream and the
operations of the breaking fleet have
been discontinued The latter assumes that
the danger period has passed because OF
kilograms from Harper's Ferry and other
places along the upper Potomac stating
that the river has subsidized. Merchants who
had made preparations for the removal of
goods from the cellars and lower floors of
their stores TO safe quarters feel greatly re-
lieved.
Harbormaster Sutton went down the river
n short distance yesterday morning on the
tug L. Mitchell Davis. Beyond an unusual
swiftness of current at the junction of
the Potomac with the AnacOstia River he
found nothing alarming. The big ice had
disappeared and nothing was left floating
down stream but ffne ice and snow. The
river steamers have resumed their regular
trips. The ferryboat Columbia. which plies
between this city and Alexandria, is max
ing her regular trips as usual
The Harbormaster visited the District
Building yesterday afternoon and an
nounced that he would submit full report
today on the operations of the ice breaking
feet. No little satisfaction was felt by the
Commissioners when assured that the dan.
ger had passed
Fair weather is predicted by the Weather
Bureau for today and tonight.

more alarming.
