ADVERSE REPORT.
Response to Request Made Regarding
q Water Meter

The organist and choirmaster of st.
Johns Episcopal Church, at 10th and H
streets, Mr.. H. H. Freeman, recently wrote
to the District Commissioners, detailing the
annoyance and inconvenience caused by
the meter on the water service pipe supply
ing power to the organ at the church. He
asked permission to discontinue the meter
and pay a fixed assessment to cover the
cost of the water used in excess of the al
lotment of 100000 gallons. Mr.. W. A. Nc
Farland, superintendent of the water de-
partment, has recommended that the re-
quest be not granted and If the meter Is
discontinued that the property be charged
schedule rates, based on frontage and size
of the building.
Capt. Chester Harding, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, in forwarding the
report to the Commissioners. calls attention
1885, in which the Commissioners are au-
thorized to furnish Potomac water without
charge to churches, the amount to be fixed
in each case by the Commissioners, and any
amount in excess to be charged for accord
ing to specified rates. Capt. Harding says
the Commissioners have fixed the amount
of water to be allowed under this act at
00,000 gallons to each church. He says the
only way In which the amount of water
used in excess of the allowance can be de-
termined in any case is by the use of a

causes a greater loss of pressure than some
other types, and he advises that the COM
plainant be advised that improved condi-
lions may be obtained by installing a meter
of the turbine type.

BEAT THE INJUNCTION.
Lajoie and His Companions Out of
Courts Reach

Injunctions to restrain Lajoie, Bernhard
and Frazer from playing with any team
except the Philadelphia base ball club were
applied for in common pleas court of Penn
sylvania at 10 o'clock this morning.
Before that time the three men had left
Philadelphia. so that they will not be pre-
vented from appearing in the opening
game of the American League season with
the Athletics against the Baltimore team
at the latter city today.
Mr.. Turner. counsel for Connie Mack,
says: I'VE will fight this case at every
point The decision of the supreme court
is not so far-reaching by any means as
Instead Of affecting the sixty-four play:
ers of the National League who have gone
over to the American League, it will affect
only one. and he is Lajoie.
''To have this decision apply to any other
man 1t will be necessary to prove that he
has the extraordinary ability of Lajoie,
for. in our judgment, Justice Potter had
reference to nobody else.
'The main reason given for reversing
the lower courts decision is that Laicic' s
loss to the Philadelphia team is irrepar-
able; that his place cannot be filled by a
player possessing equal skill.
This seems to make it clear that the
court did not consider this test case and
that 1t did not pass general judgment on
the subject
"As to the statement that counsel for
both sides made an agreement to acknowi-
edge a decision in the Lajoie case as bind
ing in the cases of Bernhard and Fraser,
1 will say that 1 know of no such agree
ment.
THE Lajoie case was the only one we
argued. and Lajoie Is the only man af-
fected."

GEORGETOWN CHAMPIONS.
Senators Defeated for the Second Time
by the Blue and Gray Lads.

The Georgetown base ball club rightfully
earned the title yesterday afternoon of be-
Ing champions of the District of Columbia
by defeating the Washington team by the
score of to 6, making the second victory
out Of the thre games played this spring.
The Senators should not be blamed for the
defeat, but, on the contrary, the Blue and
Gray lads should be given the highest
praise for their victory.
From start to finish 1t was most enjoy
able contest, the collegians playing like
men possessed, while the professionals were
simply halted by their opponents exhibit
ton.
The friends of the Georgetown team were
out in good numbers, fully 1900 of the 15OO
spectators roofing valiantly for the collie
gians, and when the victory was estab-
lished there was great joy displayed on all
sides. The friends of the Senator's took the
defeat good-naturedly, realizing the fact
that 1t took splendidly played game to
defeat the Washingtons, and that the
youngsters had simply outplayed the older
men.
Pitcher Cox was the bright particular
star Of the Georgetown team, although
every lad who wore a uniform Is entitled
to credit for the victory. This stocky-built
young man had everything in the way of
speed and curves possessed by first-class
twirler. and six safe hits by the Senators
tell of his effectiveness. At two different
times he developed tendency to wildness,
but In both instances he was In the air
but momentarily. Back Of Cox the work
OF the Georgetown feeders bordered on the
phenomenal on account Of their great speed,
many OF the runners being prevented from
taking extra bases on hits or errors, as the
ball came back into play with the speed
OF lightning. The infleld worked beauti-
fully together. while Golden. o'Hara and
Dessen covered acres of ground in the out
field. Not for minute did the Blue.
and Gray display signs OF srattles.' but. on

"KID" SULLIVAN WON.
Washington Lad Put Out Bclan in
Third Round

kid" Sullivan of this city, at the Ger
mania Maennerchor Hall, Baltimore, last
night knocked out Jack Bolan of Cincn-
natl in the third round of fight given by
the Eutaw Athletic Club. The battle was
to have gone twenty rounds and the end
came unexpectedly.
The men when they stripped for the fight
were widely different in shape Sullivan
was short, stocky and muscular. Bolan
was tall, lean and lanky.
In the first round Bolan resembled a
Foxy Grandpa" He relied on the science
he had and looked as though he would
make Sullivan look cheap. Sullivan was
Of the modern age and refused to be made
target. He sailed in, and the result has
been told.
Bolan could run a few PAGES, but his
knees were weak when he called on them
to step in and deliver blow. He had a
long reach and had he had power behind
it he might have succeeded In keeping Sui
Ivan away. His strength was not equal
to the emergency.
The house was about one-third filled with
spectators, and a goodly number Of the
crowd were Washingtonians. who went on
to root for Sullivan. When the Washing
tonian came into the ring the capital city
followers yelled. When he had won they
did more than yell. The Cincinnatian did
not hear the last yells, as he was dead to
the world.
There was but little IN the fight. Sullivan
soon found that Bo1an was a clever boxer
in so far as hand work was concerned, and
at the same time discovered that his hit
ting powers were nil: i, During the three
rounds Sullivan went at his man. In the
second round Sullivan forced Bolan through
the ropes. fo4 sit , 70 asis
In the third round 7Bolan was jabbing
away when Sullivan stepped in. shot out
his right hand, 1t landed on Bolan's jaw
and the latter went to- the floor fiat on his
back. He had to. be carried to his corner
He rounded to in about two minutes and
asked how 1t happened He was told. and
said he really believed he could have won
had he not gotten that fatal punch.
James O'Hara was referee. Sullivan was
cared for by Jimmy" Farren, George Kin
nicker. Patrick Raedy and 'Skid" Warren
Bolanis seconds were Michael Sullivan,
BILLY Duke and David Horn.
The fight proved that Sullivan is a pros
pective top-notcher in the featherweight
class and he is anxious to meet '.Joe" Tip
man. Sullivan's manager says he is ready
to make a match for his man with Tipman
at a moments notice.

Both of the New York National League
teams were defeated yesterday, Boston do
ing the trick to the Giants and the Philadel-
phias again downing the Brooklyns. An un-
usual feature of the Brooklyn-Philadelphia
game was the fact that the winners made
only three hits to the losers nine and also
made more errors. The Pittsburgs, who
are threatening to make a runaway race of

played their opponents at all points and
were never in danger. The Easterns showed
a lack of practice and had evidently left
their batting eyes at home. Pickford did

that this season he has more than two or
three teams to beat Baltimore and Phila-

ago. St. Louis is not for moment to be
brought down to the level of the Milwaukee
outfit. Boston is better than in 1901, Wash
ington is a much better batting proposition,
and Cleveland, with a good pitching corps
and a lot of fast youngsters, may develop
into a big surprise party in contests with
some of the veteran organizations. The
