A. annual games at colchester Beach, the
visitors came away winners of ma
jority Of the prizes offered

ST. LOUIS. June 1.-Washington, al
though outbatting the Browns to l
at Sportman's Park this afternoon, was
well beaten at 6 to 3. Townsend al
lowed only six safe smashes, yet pitch
ed a miserable game. Twice did he
throw to third after fielding a stop when
he had no chance to negotiate an out.
The majority of the Senator's hits
came after two were out. All but four
OF them were wasted. Powell was
steady when the pinch came each inning
Nine of the hits came in rounds when
ciphers were drawn.

y Powell not only helped win his game
by. clever work on the slab in tight
placesi bu. he made the first hit of the
season into the east bleachers. There
were two on bases in the second when
he caught one OF Townsend's slow losses
and slammed IT far over Delehantys
head Into the seats.

1t was off McCormicks ash in the fourth
The renowned ex-Philadelphian got the
ball while on the full run in his I'M
gloved hand. He made the catch with
his hand so close to the turf that his
effort was all the more sensational.
Senators Earn a Run.
Singles by Keister and Coughlin and
Carsy's double earned Washington its
first run in the fourth. The second came
id abe rifth. resulting from Delehanty's
sifgle and Keister's- double.
The final one was registered in the
2ninth. With two down Ryan walked,
and the successive singles of wolverton
and Delehanty tailed him. Keister

PLAYERS.
This man has visited Woonsocket, r.

go TO Woonsocket, where he draws
about $40 week for pitching two
games. Lepine has been tried out in
fast company once. at Pittsburg. This
was Just after Lajoie began to set
them afire, and he was picked as a sec
ond Lajoie. He is fair fielder, and. in
independent ball, which is very fast
down East. he murders the pitchers.

which he has been unable to find a
suitable player. O'Hagen did well enough
as fielder. but was not there with TIE

School Elections.
trio power

Next Monday, June 2, in every
school district IN Washington
county, excepting independent dis
tricts, will be held the annual school
election, for the purpose Of electlng
one, and in some cases, two trus-
tees and for the transaction OF other
school business.
1t is as important that the patrons
of a school attend this election as 1t
is that they attend county or
state election. At this meeting it
must be decided in whose hands the
manageme of their school affairs
shall be placed. 1t is fact that
some of the very small districts have
better schools and longer terms than
many of the larger schools which
have surplus fund, simply because
the people take an interest and at
tend the school meetings to plan for
the year ahead, and the communities
where this is the spirit are the ones
that will draw the homeseeker.
The condition OF the schoolhouse
and the length Of term for the COM
ing year are the most important
questions to be discussed at school
meeting. Schoolhouses which have
no locks and fences require grea
expenditure every year for repair'
or remain for the term with broker
windows.
1t is conceded that the most ad
visable and usually the most benefi
cial time for commencing school i
the first Monday in September, an
continue with an unbroken term a
long as there is funds.
Some of the districts have not ye
used their library fund from th
January apportionment. The chile
rem should not be deprived of th
books any longer than possible.
