Titusyille VS.. Sanford.

The Titusville baseball club went to
Sanford Wednesday 10 play the Sanford
nine. This time they met with defeat.
Only eight innings were played and up
to the fifth inning Sanford had only
scored three runs; but after that the Ii
tusville nine, being discouraged at the
rank decisions of the umpire in favor Of
Sanford, threw the game away, and at
end of the eighth inning the score stood
2l TO in favor of Sanford.
The captain of the Tltnsville club
claims that the umpire, not being ac-
quainted with the mysteries Of a curved
ball, repeatedly called balls on the plain
est kind of strikes, and AYERS that the
rules of the game for 1901 were not adj
hered 10 by Sanford.
Sanford has been defeated three times
by the Titusville club, and this is our
clubs first defeat this season. We sup
pose they will be willing TO meet the San
ford club at most any time upon fair
conditions.

den, to the City Hospital suffering with
typhoid fever a week ago Friday, died
at the hospital Saturday night at 10

not give up hope of his recovery but
about o'clock the fever turned and
death resulted within an hour. Mr.
Condor was born in New Brunswick in
October 1866 The greater part of his
youth was passed there. In 1889 he
went to Boston where he was in bis
mess for three years. In 1892 he mar
ried Miss Mary Farewell of Allston
and moved to Holden where he pur-
chased the Greenwood farm and a large
milk route. He was an active member
