winning the game was that Dr.. Simpson
was present as Raleigh has always won
when the Doctor was there. The record
is, however, that Raleigh turned the
trick by excellent stick work, and by
the way Weeks shot in the ball. Though
he gave four bases on balls, yet he held
the visitors down to five hits, never los

Kelly was as spry as a cricket, and

court yesterday was consumed in the
trial of suit brought by W. H. Hicks

Hicks was put off car one night in

some ladies to the park. He had n
transfer but did not take the first car

and when he got on the second car the
conductor told him his transfer was old

into a ditch.

Upon the Enforcement of the Reg
ulation-A New Recommendation
Regarding Tax Lieu Certificates.
The ordinance suggested by the Health
Officer prohibiting splitting upon the side
walks in the District of Columbia has
been approved by the Commissioners and
will become operative within few days.
1t is intended that the police shall give
warning of the new regulation to people
seen expectorating upon the sidewalks
before any drastic measures are taken.
Commissioner Macfarland stated yester-
day that it would be unwise to make any
arrests, for example, until the regulation
was well understood. He stated that
there would be a period I'm which the po-
lice would cali attention to the infraction
of the law by warning people that it is
Illegal to expectorate in the manner men
toned.
Mr.. mcfarland said in defence of the
regulation that he thought it would prove
an advantage to the public in many ways
He said that it put ban upon a practice
which is now INDUCED in without re-
straint. The Commissioner hoped fer the
law a fair recognition. He said there is
no law absolutely obeyed, not even the
law against murder with its awful pen
atty, and he said quite likely the authori-
ties vii not put an end to splitting. But
he thought 1t fair TO say that there would
be a general observance of the rule, as
there is inside street cars. He remarked
that there might be a little expectoration
in the cars, but his observation led him
to the conclusion that there was In fact
very little of it. So he thought it would
be with reference to the sidewalks. He
hoped and believed that the new regula-
tion would greatly lessen a practice which
is universally deplored.
After a time, Commissioner Macfarland
said, there would doubtless be arrests of
fragrant violators Of the ordinance, and
he thought few arrests and fines in
Police Court would have wholesome in
fiuence upon the community toward an
observance of the rule
