Dispute Over the Sunshine and Acme
Game Last Sunday.

Game Last Sunday.
Waterbury. Conn, Aug 6, 1902.
Editor of Democrat:
Dear Sir-Wou1d you please decide
q bet? On last Sunday the Acmes
and Sunshines played four and one
half innings and. the Sunshines scored
more runs in their four innings than
the Acmes did in five innings, but the
umpire didn't decide or call the game
and the Acmes wouldn't stay out in
the pouring rain. These clubs are
playing under American league rules
and according to rule No 26 it is not a
game. 1t would stand a game all
right if the umpire had called the game
but he did not. Would you please
state your opinion Of this game in order
to decide a bet in your paper to-mor
row night and oblige?
The rule in, connection with this
point is as follows:
Rule 26. 'sNo Game" shall be de-
clared by the umpire if he shall ter
inmate play on account of rain or
darkness, before five innings on each
side are completed. except In a case
when the game is called. and the club
second at bat shall have more runs
at the end of it's fourth inning than
the club first at bat has made in it's
five completed innings. in such case
the umpire shall award the game to
the club having made the greatest
number of runs, and 1t shall be legal
game and be so counted in the cham
pionship record
The communication and the rule are
both self explanatory and should de-
eide the bet very easily. that is, If the
statements made in the communities
ton are correct. The Sunshines
scored more runs in their four innings
than the Acmes did in their five and
the umpire should have given the
game to the Sunshines. and it should
stand in the record. If. however, the
umpire did not call the game and he
decided that the rain was not too heavy
for the teams to play. the Acmes
should have continued to play if they
had to. do it under protest. A team
refusing to play when the umpire does
not call the game for some reason
generally forfeits such a game 1T
looks as il the Sunshines won the
game under the statements as made

New York, Aug THE Dwight It.

continue to repose in this country.
Both Malcolm %. Whitman and Will

better than DR. Joshua PIN and II. II.
Doherty, the Englishmen, in the two
sets played in the opening contests in
the singles on the courts of the Cres-
cent Athletic club yesterday In both
competitions the point score was eone-
sided and had the rain held off little
longer, the third set would unquestion-
cbly have returned the Americans win
ncrss Whitman scoasd his sets against
DR. PIN, 6-1, 81, and Larned against
r.. f. Doherty, at Go, 6-:..
The matches were started promptly
at $3.50 p. m. and at that hour gal
lery of 1000 persons filed the grand
stands and every point Of vantage.
Among the most interested were the
three sons of Presiden. Roosevelt.
fred S. Mansfield of Boston acted as
referee for the Whitman-Dr PIN
match and r.. B. Wrenn for that be-
tween Larned and Doherty.
Whitman outplayed d. PIN at
every point and was willing to contin-
ne the play into the third set, but
referee Richard Stevens decided to
postpone the matches until 1890 this
morning at which time the third set
will be played and the remaining
matches in the single contested.
The real sport of the day was fur
nished in the Larned-Doherty match.
Larned displayed fine eve for the side
lines on his returns and most of his
points were made by his scientific
placing of the ball far out of reach.
The wins were all of a decided ma
ture, consequently only small num-

Harvey Parker. Gets Good Beating
by Lundin
Arrangements are nearly completed
for another match between Harvey
Parker and George Bothner. BUTT has
not been decided on where to hold the
contest Parker is in FAVOR of pulling
off the match in this city. He says
that the sports are DESTROYS of Witness
ing the struggle and will turn out in
large numbers if the match is held.
On the other hand, Bothner wishes to
meet Parker in New York, and thus the
matter stands. BOthner is also nego-
tiating for match with Charlie Leon
hardt of Newark. Some time ago
Leonhardt offered to throw Bothner
twice in one hour at catch-as-catch-carl
style. Although Leonhardt is purely a
Graeco-Roman wrestler he will have
the advantage in weight by at least
thirty. pounds. If this contest is rati-
fed the affair will be held at Newark
Brockton Enterprise.
Worcester, Aug 7.-Hja1mar Lundin
of this city made Harvey Parker look
like. selling platter in wrestling
match at the Worcester theater last
night. The conditions of the match
were that Lundin should throw Parker
twice in one hour at atch-as-catch can.
Lundin secured the first fall in 291s
minutes, and at the close of the bout
Parker's face looked like a piece Of raw
beefsteak. In the second bout Lundin
threw Parker to the mat in less Shan
two minutes, but the fall was not al
lowed by the referee. George V. Tuohey
of Cleveland. Ltlndin did not object
to the decision, and secured the third
fall after three more minutes of wres-
Ting. Several hundred dollars changed
hands on the match, as Parker's sup
porters believed he could stay the
limit.

We had a barn on our estate as well

OUTLOOK FOR POWER
Street Railway Company in Much
Better Shape Than
- Year Ago. >'-' '~-<.
Not Only Is the River Higher, but
Supplementary Stream Plants =

The street railway company is in much
better shape to handle traffic than it
was a year ago, when anchor ice SO seri-
ously affected the water power. When
the river begins to show the action Of
Jack Frost, ice forms under the surface
and drifts against the gratings at the
power dam. This naturally reduces power
Notwithstanding the efforts Of crews of
men to remove the obstruction with long
rakeS.
To-day the company is prepared to over
come similar difficulties. To begin with,
the Mississippi is agreeably furnishing
about 1000 more horse power than 1t was
in the fall of last year, or a total of about
5000. An additional 5000 horse power Is
furnished by the storage batteries at the
Third avenue N station, not available last
year, and 5000 additional horse power will
come from the steam plants at Third ave-
nue. In the Minneapolis and at the Sell
by station in St. Paul, which will be ready
before the freeze-up. The street railway
officials are confident Of overcoming dan
gers of delay with the aid of this addi-
ton Of about 5000 horse power.
Last fall the power at the lower dam
was reduced by the ice and low water to
about $500.

Special to The Journal.
Tacoma, WASH, Nov. 20.-The desire
of the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern railroads to secure control of
all small independent lines in the north
west has extended to the Bellingham Bay
& British Columbia railroad, which occu-
pies strategic position near the extreme
northwestern part of Washington. The
Belingham Bay railroad is owned by D.
o. Mills of New York and associates, in
Guiding Whitelaw Reid besides P. B.
Cornwall and Alvinza Hayward of San
Francisco. 1t penetrates heavily timbered
country east of Whatcom and is now
building eastward across the Cascade
mountains with the object Of opening sew
eral important mining districts and event
ually reaching Spokane, where 1t will con-
meet with the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton company, giving the Hartman sys-
tenn a new outlet to the coast
To head off this result, the Hill rail-
roads are believed to be trying to force
the Mills syndicate to sell the road to
either the Great Northern or the North
ern Pacific. For twelve years President
Hill has been endeavoring to get control
of this road, but Mr.. Mills has steadfastly
declined to sell, putting his price at pro-
hibitive figures

A pueriIe assault was made on Public

there would seem to be no excuse for the

one company to pay the state Sb,ooo III

Mr.. Johnson repealed the lnsinuat1on
vigorously, saying:

sent one to each county auditor In the
state, expecting them to see other Off
Gals who needed bonds. The law of our
state does not require surety bonds, and
most officials get personal bonds. These
are often faulty. and through favoritism
are seldom CCi ected upon. Surety bonds
are better for the counties, and are pre-
fsrred by many officials. Some day hope
to see, this stale adopt uniform bonding
law, ny "ltiSlt Tic SlStlS ana COuUCl6S Will

ask for figures frcm all the authorized
companies. Wien they were given to me
l would furnish them all to the county
