RIOTERS EXHAUSTED
Over Their Mighty Work OF Roofing
For Int" e"BowIino Camel

tOr me Bowling Game"
The American Bowling club and the
smelter club lined up at the. smelte r
grounds yesterday. 1t was a great
game OF ball.
The game was won in the first
inning. Senor Gillespie bad several
fantastic curves that he says used to
be the proper thing. The smelter boys
seemed to think they we're too and
every time bs crossed the plate it
collided with vigorously welded bat
and flew out OF sight. When the In
ming closed the score was
II to o In favor of the smelter, the Ell
Psso boys giving poor support to their
pitcher so the latter says.
Then Senior Mcclellan took the box
and the smelter boys, tired with their
exertions, were retired in one, two,
three order. Then the bowlers de-
cided to show their strength and dur
ing the remaining eight innings they
piled up six TO their opponents five but
were unable to overcome the result of
the fatal first and the final score was
IL to in favor of the smelters.
The visitors were treated to q royal
good time by their hosts.

THE ECLIPSE
Caused Hundreds To Take An Earlx
Breakfast

Ell Pssoans who were up early th8s
morning had an Interesting. If not ps--
'iculsrly astounding view of the
eclipse. About half past six the bright
sunlight was dsrkened and the skies
had the look of skies just before q
thunderstorm. This shadowine of the
sunliRh ht lasted about q half hour, and
through smoked glass one could SEQ
the blazing sun, shine as q young
moons crescent, hanging with the
points down.
Between the eye of the FL Paso be-
holder and the suns body the moon
passed over the lower part of the sun,
the upper round never being darkened.
Observers who watched the event from
i've to half past seven saw first. at half
after hve-the sun was then high in
the heavens-a bit of black shadow On
one edge that looked as II
bite had been taken out OF
the bright circle. As the
noon advanced with her usual stately
pace, the suns crescent got thinner
and thinner, with the points towards
the suns left. Ia the height of the
eclipse the crescent's points turned
down, and towards the decline the
crescent's points were at his right.
1t was an interesting sight and worth
the smudged noses and the mornings

Those who claim to be acquainted
with the political situation in the

siege of Pretoria. They believe that
the irreconcilable element among the
Beers sees the futility of resistance
against the overwhelming British
forces and are preparing to trek north
or escape to Lorenzo Marquee before
they are surrounded.

PARLOR DECORATIONS.
Some Hints as to How They Should
re Arranged.
Harper's Bazar.

H2rper's Bazar
In every parlor there must be a center
of interest to which the way is clear. Al
fire lovers make the Hearth the point
toward which all the interests of room
converge. Sofas are drawn up by it,
chairs arranged near It, the best picture
placed over it. The question of lights is
carefully studied. and wherever a chair
or sofa is placed, some provision for u
lamp or q light from the window is con-
sidered.
The grouping of chairs. tables and sofas
Is another point not TO be neglected, 50
that different sets of interest may be
provided for without interfering with one
anether-that one may sit by the piano,
for instance, and others have a tete-a-tete
somewhere else.
When one has no pictures, a lowered
paper on a parlor wall is effective. Some
times relief is lent by 4 dade of yelours
or jute running to a height OF some fouc
feet and finished by a narrow braid to
match the body color, nailed on the wall
with invisible tacks The furniture in this
case should be covered to match tha dado
so that all the lower part of the room
is left in one tone. Brass sconces ana
mirrors alone should be hung on the
walls.
Yellow on the walls gives brightness and
cheerfulness and sometimes a sense of
uplifting, but one cannot get coziness
with it. Much white is permissible with
yellow. Relieved with 4 note of crimson.

or q red cushion makes itself felt, a
yellow and white parlee becomes fndivId-

NEW YORK, June % The Protective

Players is the name of the organization
effected in this city today at a meeting
of delegates from the eight National

ers forming an organization for mutual
support has been agitated for some time
1he farming out Of players against their
will and other practices that are consid-
cred grievances by the players led UP to
today's meeting. Meetings have been held
by the different teams, and delegates were
selected at these meetings to today's con-
clave as follows:
New York-Davis, Doyle and Mercer.

All of these players were on hand, and
all were pleased with the outlook of form
ing an organization. The players held a
preliminary meeting at noon, at which the
reserve rule and other topics concerning
which they think there can be made
changes for their Improvement, were dis
cussed at length.
The deliberations were secret, but, ae-
cording TO Hugh Jennings, who was de-
cided on as spokesman for the players, 1t
was agreed that every one was in earnest
Delegate Harris, representing the Amer

meeting. He spoke of the advantages OF
labor organizations, and explained points
on which the players desired light.

not to affiliate with the American Fed

thought 1t advisable to feel their way BE-
fore taking any positive step in that di-
rectlon. This point was decided by vote.
