Amateur Base Ball.

An interesting and exciting game of base
ball was played on Sunday between the
Bryantown and Capital Athletic Club teams
on the grounds of the former. Up to the
last half of the eighth inning the score
was close the Bryantown team being gen.
orally ahead through the heavy hitting at
intervals of the members of the team, but
fast fielding by the c. A. C. boys kept down
the score. In the last half of the eighth
the G. A. c. team went after Busher, who,
after giving the first man up his base on
balls. lost his effectiveness, and there fol-

Fitz Will Fight Fake Report.

Fftzsimmons is determined to settle the
question whether Friday nights fight was a
fake. He has retained the services of Reuben
H. Lloyd one of San Francisco's foremost
lawyers, and was eager to bring suit for
libel for 100000 against newspapers which
charged him with taking the fight and 60
ing out under a prearranged scheme in the
eighth round.
Lloyd told him, however. he never could
get any satisfaction in this way, and ad-
vised him to appeal to Mayor SchmitZ. who

fake theory. to settle the mater by taking

If the mayor accepts Fitz is positive he
will be acquitted, one can be found
to give any real facts in regard to a pre-
arranged plan between the fighters. while
all the facts in regard to betting are against
the cry. If the mayor refuses this Fitz, it
is said, can declare that the official is afraid
to make the investigation. as he knows the
charge is fimsy. Fitz Is in dead earnest
about the matter. as he declares this charge

The Chicago champions began series of

brought forth a battle royal, the visitors
winning out in the tenth inning by the score
of 10 to 8. From start to finish the game

ten days. The Baltimore boys were. how
