The game OF ball at Front and
Union streets on Saturday afternoon
between O'Rourke's Crescents and the
Wilmington team was a big improve
ment over the first game played there.
The local team won by a score of 10
to 2. and they did so by good, solid
playing. Day pitched a fine game and
he was supported in great style. Sand
herr at short made a costly error in
the early part of the game, but he re-
deemed himself afterwards. All the
men batted we'll with the exception of
McCoach. who did not seem to be able
to connect with the ball. Whitticker,
the catcher. has demonstrated his abil-
ity to fill that position, and his play
ing is favorably commented on by the
fans" 1t is hoped the men will con-
tinue to improve and show the rooters
they can play ball. About 5000 peo-
pie were out to see the game, and
everyone thought the local nine put up
good fight
After the fifth inning it was little
one-sided. but both teams were play
ing good ball, and that put interest in
the game.
The Chescents played well. but they
could not solve Days deceiying out
drops
A good schedule has been arranged
for this week and the men have hard
work before them if they want to sus-
tain the reputation they now are
making.

settled once for all. The present
dispute IN over tho possession OF
some Ballard property, which Mrs.
Wheatman thinks ought to belong
10 her. but which her former hua-
band Is resolved TO pay taxes on
himself.
When John was FIRST seen this
morning az the courthouse II was
thought that his appearance was in
connection with tho libel suit OF HIM
self and Mary saeher against Curtis
Preston OF Ballard. but gousip-ioving
hearts were disappointed.
When Mira. Wheatfnan divorced
her husband aome time ago. alleging
undue intimacy with Mary Saeher.
a young dressmaker OF Ballard, their
property was divided, Mrs. Wheat
man having their ballard property,
and John some lots in Portland.
Upon ftndiug n few months ago that
q strip OF land In Ballard was not
Included In her list. Mrs. wheRtmRn
is very much agRrieved and Ia try
ing to make John do the square
thing. The. suit ls rendered more
interesting by the frigid glances
which pass between the former hus-
band and wife, as they try not TO
see each other.
