FAN FOOD.
What would Brownell's playing be
like IL he didn't register at least two
kicks In each game? Twice he waded
onto the field Saturday to expostulate
with the pitcher and umpire, and had
to be handled without gloves to pre-
vent his tearing wheel Off somebody
or something, he didn't care what.
Malone probably gets more applause
than comes to any other Akron player
when he steps up to bat, but this never
seems to turn Jimmie's head, and he
plays the same hard-hittlng. steady
game.
Everyone Is quick to see that thu
formation Of the All Akron team has
been one of the best base ball moves
In Akron for years.

isfy the most blase observer, and the
game was an exhibition of little bet
ter grade of sport than has been seen
on local fields this season. The man.
agement and players of the All Akron
team are determined to wipe out the
memory of their first defeat very de-
cisively in the near future.
Watts started to pitch ball in good
shape. The very first ball delivered
was landed upon by Vaughn, but he
never got to first, and although Watts
gave a pass on balls and Keller hit,
the side was retired without a score.
The Akrons then came to bat, and al
though they were little terrified by
the speed of Heyman, Massillon's big
pitcher, for a minute, they hit him
hard for three innings, and at that
point had the score in their favor.
Then the Massillons put Grassland
in the box. He proved to be easy
picking, as was his predecessor. Good
rich was then substituted in the sew
enth and he did better, after a few
wild ones, and the Akrons got no more
runs.
The results show that Watts was
pitching excellent ball up to the fatal
sixth. Then he was landed upon for
three hits, and Massillon made three
runs. They made two more in the
next inning, and then the fans began
to shout for Eggers, and he was put
in the box in the eighth. No more
runs were made by the visitors after
that, but the game had already been
lost for Akron, and Stone, Akron's
last man to bat, struck out with two
men on bases.

WILL NOT EVACUATE TIENTsIN.
Germany Excites Enmity Of England
hv HAr pn14rv

A dispatch from Pekin yesterday saws: The
policies Of Germany and Great Britain in
China, which Great Britain hoped had been
consolidated by the signing of the Yang
tse agreement q year ago, have developed
an antagonism equal to that Of Russia and
Japan over Manchuria, also seriously in
volving the interests of other nations.
Germany is the only power refusing to
agree to the reduction Of the large garri-
sons the European governments are main
tanning at Tientsin, and the restoration Of
the control Of the native city CT ,Tientsin
to the Chinese.
The British diplomats are trying to help
the Chinese to regain the government Of
Tientsin, and the reason for the British
action In blocking the payment Of the
February installment Of the Chinese in
demnity was to bring Germany to terms.
The British believe Germany Is using Tien-
tsin as an inducement to the Chinese to
grant her practical monopoly Of the
mines in Shan Tung province.
Great Britain's share OF the Indemnity
is q comparative trifie to her. but she
thinks Germany needs her share to main
tain forces In China, and considering the
condition Of German finances and the op-
position in Germany to the whole plan Of
the German government in tho orient, that
the government will be reluctant to pro-
pose parliamentary appropriations for the
Chinese establishment.
The British diplomats regard the argu-
ment that the municipal government OF
Tientsin by Europeans IL . military neces-
sity as q subterfuge and In her role Of
protector OF the Chinese against fol eign
aggression involved In the Anglo japanese
alliance and hoping to increase her pres
tigo among the Chinese. Great Britain is
helping them to regain rientsin. American
influence is being used to this some end.

cites:

siderable number of faithful. able and ex-
perienced clerks and employees thereof must
necessarily be discharged.
That these clerks. appointed from all sec
tions Of the country from those who passed
highest in competitive examinations of
substantial character, constitute fresh
blood and progressive energies in the pub
lie service. and experienced in government
methods and rules, we'll deserve to be made
eligible for transfer TO other departments of
the government where their services may
be needed.
That there will he less injustice in post
r0ning the appointment Of those who have
merely taken civil service examinations and

der river and Magersfontein. At the bat
tie of Gras Pan the Beers were under COM
mand OF Gen. Delarey, who is Gen. Me-
thuen's eaptor now. Gen. Methuen was
wounded at the battle of Modder river. At
ter these engagements Gen. Lord Roberts
was sent to South Africa, where he took
personal command Of the British advance
on Kimberley and relieved Kimberley Feb
| ruary 16. 1900.
After Gen. Methuens defeat at Magers-
fontein 1t was reported that he had shown
signs Of breaking down almost immediate
ly after he took command Of his division,
and Gen. Wolseley, who was then COM
mander-in-chief of the British forces Is
said to have suggested to the war office
after the battle of Belmont that Methuen
should be relieved, but his advice was not
needed. Gen .Methuen sent a number of
remarkable messages to the war office,

Of Kimberley, when the question of his
health and ability seemed to be dropped
Since that time Gen. Methuen has render
ed efficient service, and several notable
successes over the Beers stand to his
credit.
Delarey Great Fighter.
Gen. Delarey has been one Of the most
prominent leaders of the Boer army since
the beginning of the war. On May 81, 1901,
a serious disaster was reported to the Brit
ish forces in the battle of Fladfontein, on
the Durban-Joha hannesburg railroad. Six
weeks before Gen. Darlington had captured
eleven of Delarey's guns but the Boer
leader was in no way daunted by his re-
verse. On May 30, 1901, Delarey attacked
Gen. Dixon's force, was driven off with a
loss of thirty-five men, but the British loss
was ia and four officers were killed. The
fighting was at close quarters. At this time
Gems. De Wet and Delarey were keeping
the British very busy in Cape Colony.
Delarey seems to have been a persistent
fighter from the start. On March %, 1901,
he met with reverse, but the very next
day he captured l30 Of the colonial troops
Delarey and Methuen have been often in
collision. The invasion of Cape Colony by
the forces of De Wet and Delarey was one
of the most daring exploits of the war. In
the effort to capture these men about
100000 British troops were kept busy in
forced marches.
In these. as in all other operations Of the
On January 81 last the British had in
South Africa 237. 800 men, and the Boer
forces were estimated by the British to be
about 10000. The war is costing something
over three hundred millions a year. On
January last a British review Of opera
tions in South Africa stated that the total
reduction Of the Boer forces in the past
year in killed, wounded, taken prisoners
and surrendered amounted to 1890 men.
According to British figures the British loss
in a year had been 9,113 men, Of which
1913 were taken prisoners. During last

Peculiar Accident on Madison Avenue,
Line, New York.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: A Madison avenue electric car, on
which were almost hundred persons, met
with very peculiar accident early this
evening. About fifty Of the passengers
were injured, none Of them seriously. A
new building is in course of erection at
44th street and Madison avenue, at which
a portable hoisting engine is used. the enA
gine being in the street This evening the
engine stood close to the track.
The motorman stopped the car as he ap-
preached 1t, and the engineer told him to
wait until he could move the machine The
car conductor thought there was room to
pass and ordered the motorman to pro-
ceed. This he did, and the car shaved or
a valve which extended from the boiler.
The suddenly released steam broke the win.
dows in the side of the car next to the en-
gine and covered the passengers, scalding
them on hands and faces. Others were
bruised by being crushed and thrown to
the ground during the ensuing panic.
