 Hard for and Deserved to Win.

Memphis, Tenn, May 28.-(Special. J. Memphis took the first game from Selma this afternoon by the narrow score of to and there were nearly 2.500 people to see the contest. The ladies set the example and turned out in force. The game came near being an errorless one for both teams. and Shaumeyer, Franks new second base man, played his position and batted Tn a way that won for him the admiration of the local fans. The features of the game were the fast fielding of both teams and the hitting of the Selma club. The first round for Selma was a blank, and the first five for the Frankfurters was the same tale. In the second inning Selma got two scores Valdois got to first on an ( rror of Han diboes, Stouch struck oui and wcen Fender hit safe Valdois scored. Then when Dalrymple hit Fender scored. Not until the seventh inning did the Selma team make another tally, get ting two on two passes from Rob5 and two base hits. In the sixth Memphis got one tally, the first of the game. Swacina flied out to left field, Mc- Kevitt went out on first and H lndiboe got to first on four balls. Then came old man Bussey and swatted out a three-bagger that made the crowd howl to see, and Handiboe scored. Shaumeyer struck out and that ended the fun. Tn the seventh Memphis got four tallies and the game was won right there. In this round Beecher WE 8 the first man up and got sweet little base hit. Robbs flied out to Stouch and Gfroerer got his base on balls. He W as forced out at second, though when singled and Beecher scored.

Claim Held Valid.

Washington, May 2s.-The United states Supreme Court has decided that Jthn Glayey earned two Government salaries while acting as steamboat in spectof for three years after his ap- p6intmeft in 1891. He was occupying the position of local inspector With a eaiary of S2, 200 at that time, when the office of Inspector of Foreign Vessels was created by the law, with pay amounting to .$2,00o year. Glavey was appointed to the latter place With the specified provision that his ser vices should not be compensated be- cause of his occupancy of the other office. He accprdingly received no sal arys for the s2.000 position during the three years he held the two places. He brought an action for $6,0o0 in the Court of Claims, alleging that a con ditior made by an executive official could not invalidate a statute. The Court of Claims refused to allow the claim, but the Supreme Court reversed that decision, thus holding the claim to be valid.
