Exciting Game at Bay Ridge.

The base ball team representing the
Young Mems League of the Temple Bap-
list Church and the club Of the Metropoli-
tan Baptist Church went to Bay Ridge
Wednesday and played one Of the most
interesting and exciting games of the series
which is now being played between the
several churches. Hundreds of enthusiastic
friends accompanied the two teams For
eight innings the score was Ii. In the
next inning. amid great excitement, each
team made eight runs. the Metropolitan
Church finally winning out by the close
margin of one run. The remarkable battery
work OF Anderson and O'Connor of the
Young Mems League was one of the fea-
lures of the game. In the fourth inning
Anderson struck out three men with ten
thrown balls. The Metropolitan Church
used three pitchers. the last one being
Briggs OF the Eastern High School, who
did good work.

How the Runs Were Made.


Neither side scored in the first inning.
but the Bostons broke the ice in the sec
ond, getting one tally through the gra-
ciousness of Billy Keister. Freeman flied
out 10 Ryan, but Parent hit safely into
left. La Chance hit hot one to Carrick,
and as he turned to throw to second for a
double play Messrs. Coughlin and Keister
stood waiting on each other to- cover the
sack, a sort of ..Alphonse-Gaston" act.
Carrick then turned and threw to Carey,
getting the batter out. Ferris followed
with pop fly in short right and Keister
dropped it, Parent going home. This run
was a gift, pure and simple.
In the same inning KeiSter was the first
Senator to toe the plate. and to set him
self right with the spectators for his little
mum he didn't do thing but drive the first
ball pitched over the left-field fence for a
home run. That put all things even and
the crowd cheered the Baltimore boy for
quite while over his feat. Coughlin flied
out to Gleason, but George Carey tore off
triple over the head of the same fielder
Lee hit a bounder to Parent and the latter
threw to the plate, putting out Carey on
the line. the batter getting to second on the
play. Clarke followed with a timely sin
gle to left and Lee scored. This sent the
Senators to the front and every body seemed
pleased.
In the third Bostons tied up the score.
Warner flied out to Coughlin and Adkins
hit a short fly into center that Ryan lost
single Dougherty singled into right but
he was forced at second on Collins hit to
Wolverton- Had Keister been a little
quicker on this play the side would have
been out on a double. Instead Gleason hit
timely single into left and Adkins crossed
the plate
In the fourth the Bostons went to the
front and were never headed thereafter
Parent started business with a double
against the left-feld fence and ne took
third as La Chance went out Keister to
Carey. Ferris followed with single into
right and Parent scored. In the sixth Bos-
ton hung up its fourth and last run Par
ent reached first through the grace of VOL
verton's error, went to third on La Chances
single and scampered home as Carrick
booted Warmers little grounder.
Matters looked very prosperous for time
i'm the seventh. but it was only a flash in
the pan and nothing came of It, when sew
eral runs should have scored. After Cough
lin had gone out, short to first, Carey sent
nice single into center. Lee followed
with double into right and Carey went
to third. Clarke then hit grounder to-
ward Parent that bounded badly but the
little fellow made a great catch and threw
to the plate. and as Carey stayed on his
feet be was an easy out. Had Carey slid
he would have been safe by a wide margin
and Lee would have been on third. with
only one out. but instead two were now
out and no runs. Carrick closed the deal
by striking out in disgust at his team
mates work.

National League Teams Standing.

The Senators bumped into an off day yes
terday, and as a result the Bostons walked
away with the closing game of the series
by the score of to 2. The Washington
team had been playing so finely of late
that yesterdays exhibition was a great
disappointment to 3, 100 spectators present,
but that is simply base ball, and keeps
alive the interest. All clubs have their off
days. and the only thing to be deplored is
that the Senators have theirs so close to-
gether.
In addition to the four costly errors hung
up by the Senators, there was listlessness
about their work that almost drove the
over-enthusiastic fan wild. Failure to
cover bases slow starts and a slide at
critical point were the most noticeable
shortcomings, to say nothing of the don't
care spirit that hung over all.
Carrick did the twirling for the Wash
ingtons and performed his work well; in
fact, Little Willie's' pitching was so good
that with perfect support he would have
won his game hands down. But Carrick
has dropped into the hard-luck class, and
whenever he appears the rubber every
body seems to be due for a days poor work,
and of course the tw rler is blamed for the
defeat
Boston's Brilliant Work.
In direct contrast to the Senator's work
was the exhibition given by the Bostons.
There was nothing done in the field that
looked like an error. but, on the contrary,
plays that had the phenomenal mark on
them were pulled off with a demoralizing
regularity. Parent, at short and Collins, on
third. had another good day, and this pair
are entitled to Mr.. Adkins thanks for the
way his pitching was backed up Adkins
halls from Belolt College, Wisconsin, and
pitched his first full game yesterday, and
from all angles it be called a success.
pitcher nowadays who can fool one Ed
ward Delehanty belongs in the front rank
and Mr.. Adkins certainly had the only Der
on his staff yesterday. OF the four times
at the bat ,Delehanty hit but one ball fair,
and that Gleason dragged down in center
field. home run. triple. a double and
three singles were the sum total of the
Senator's work against Mr.. Adkins yester-
day and his start can be put down as big
success.

A School of Fruit Growing.

During the past three years the
University of Tennessee has offer.
ed short course in agriculture
and related subjects, beginning in
January and continuing ten weeks.
AS the work has developed, the
interest in horticulture has been
so marked that it has been decided
to make fruit growing especially
prominent in the coming short
course, which will open in January
next. Many inquiries have been
received as to the course of in
struction in this department. Es-
pecial emphasis is placed on meth
DDS. The student makes CRAFTS
and cuttings, prunes grapes and
fruit trees, visits the experiment
orchard frequently, where there
are over thousand thrifty trees
of apple, pear, ounce, peach, plum
and cherry; makes spraying mix
lures and does the work of spray
ing. Enough of these practical
exercises are given to make the
student thoroughly at home in
them. He is given all the gratis
and cuttings he makes, and he can
also secure a start of small fruits
without cost. In addition to the
practical work, there are daily lee
lures on the management of the
various fruits.
Students who have taken the
course heretofore have expressed
great satisfaction with the work,
and the coming session the course
is to be materially improved, The
student is at liberty to take courses
in agriculture, soil physics, veter-
mary medicine, botany, agricultu
raj chemistry, stock breeding and
feeding, and dairying, without adj
ditional charge.
The entire expense of the ten
weeks course, aside from railroad
fare, need not exceed fifty dollars.

Just after the jury entered the
Judge ordered the defendant, who
was under rule as a witness in the
case of 2. B. Anderson, called, and
when he came into court the Judge
asked the jury if that was it's YER
dict. Attorney Bate Bond for the
defense asked for a poll of the
jury, and each man made known
his verdict.
During the entire trial of the
case large crowds have been in at
tendance, but there were few in
the room this morning when the
Judge reported, owing to inclem'
ent weather. There was q solemn
stiffness when the jury filed in.
After their verdict was made
known the attorneys for the State
requested that a new bond be re-
quired from the defendant, which
the court so ordered, and request
ed the sheriff to take the defendant
into custody until new bond
could be provided. A new trial
will be asked for.
The trial of p. B. Anderson was
then resumed. The jury this after
noon, after being out only a
short time, returned a verdict of
not guilty. He was tried on the
charge of embezzlement, growing
out of his connection as president
of the bank. The testimony was
not exhaustive, and it was very
shortly after the attorneys con-
cluded their speeches that the jury
gave their verdict declaring his
innocence.
