Chance of DabLs Coming
to Washington.

The Senators playing last week, while
not good. was slight Improvement over
that of the week previous.
Their stick work was weak, the team
average being .2SS. This, however, was
a slight Improvement over the week pre-
yious, when they averaged .225.
In the field the team played a good.
fast game. with an average of ISL.
One unpleasant feature was the slump
of young Martin in his batting. The
week before Joe hit at a 500 clip and
easily led the team, while he made but
two singles out of eighteen times at bat
the past week, for an average of only
III. His was, all things considered, the
lowest average of the team. In the field
he did not play nearly so well as dur
ing the week previous He fell down on
three of twenty chances which came his
way. while he accepted thirty of
his forty-two opportunities the week be-
fore
Because of Robinson's injured knee,
Orth was sent in to play shortstop. and
right well did he fill the position, ac-
cepting all the chances that came his
way without an error. AT the bat he
hit the ball for an average of .412. Ryan
was the only player to beat him out with
the stick.
Jimmy played his usual good game,
and lambasted the leather into unguard-
ed territory eight times out of eighteen
at bat. Six of his bingles were good for
two bags, giving him a total of fourteen
bases for an average of .444.

Davis Eopelessly Lost.

Tom Lotus dispatch to The Times.
Saturday night. denying the truth Of the
,r:Imor that there was a likelihood of
George Davis playing with his team. was
a sad blow to many in this city. who
still have the welfare of the team az
heart.
II Is well known that a determined eff
fort was made to land this premier in
fielder. and that he was hurried on from
New York TO Chicago by an order from
Ban Johnson, to confer with Comiskey
and Lotus. Despite the intimacy which
exists between "Commy'' and Tom
however, all Establishments were futile
end Davis will remain IN Chicago.

Teams Sad Plight.

A letter from Jimmy Ryan, to an in
innate friend in this city. depicts most
wildly the sad state of affairs now
existing in the ranks of the Washington
club. Jimmy says the men are disheart-
ened, and in the rack OF despair The
trip has been little better than a night
mare and the boys are counting the
hours until the team gets back home.
It is not all certain, may be added in
conclusion, whether this homo coming
viii be as pleasant as anticipated. No
word has yet reached Washington OF new
names added to the clubs roster. The
team is in a hundred per cent worse
plight than 1t was before it went West
and there is little hope of its cripples
rounding TO, for q long time to come.
DeMont's trip West was a piece OF
foolish extravaganza, as his condition
was well known before he left here What
he did In the one game he attempted to
play but clearly proved the assertion
repeatedly made IN these columns.

CAUTION.

This is not gentle wOrd-but when you think how liable you are not to purchase the only remedy universally known and remedy that has had the largest sale of any medicine in the world since 1869 for the cure and treat ment of Consumption and Throat and Lung troubles without losing it's great popularity all these years, you will be thankful we called your attention to B0schee's German Syrup. There are so many ordinary cough remedies made by druggists and others thab are cheap and good for light colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for Cousuup- tions where there is difficult expect0ra- tfon and coughing during the nights and mornings, there is nothing like German Syrup. The p cent size has just been introduced this year. Regu- lar size 75 cents. For sale by DeVane & Robinson.

Distinguished Pilgrims.

Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, editor and proprietor of the Los Angeles Times, and party arrived in Yuma on the night train last Sunday, taking up their quarters on the steamer "Cochan' that had been moored immediately below the bridge awaiting their arrival. T. Il. Silsbee, the general manager of the Sonora property in which Gen. Otis and his friends are interested, had arrived here some days previously, making bis headquarters at the justly popular Southern Pacific hotel. and had chartered the Goodman for the trip to the Gulf.
 The party carried goodly' sized arsenal and were accompanied by many dogs, so that the usual inspection work of the ranch will have the relieving features of sport.
 The steamer left it's moOrings at an early hour on Monday morning under the pilotage of Captain Mellen. and is not expected back for some time.

 Out of total of fourteen indictments the territory has secured ten convic- tions at the trials at SolomOnville, and it is fair assum ption that the speedy action of the courts, coupled with the severity of the sentences meted to these malcontcntS and disturbers of the peace will prove an effective deterrent to others who may incline to deny in- dividual or corporate right to labor or to conduct business, and will go far in ensuring the safety of property within our borders.
 The sentences imposed by Judge Doan were as follcws:-Laustenan the ring-leader, generally known as Three Fingered Jack, ' to two years imprison- ment and to pay a fine of 5000. His lieutenants, Salcido, Flores and Figue- roa, were given two years and fine of Sl GOO each, and four others were given two years each and two received one year each.

Oblations to TerpisGbore.

Terpischore, the presiding muse o. dancing, was the reigning deity at Elk hall on Saturday last, for,
 There was d sound of revelry b, night,
 And Yuma's pride had gathered
 there
 Her beauty and her cliealFy,
 And bright the lights shore o'el
 Brave men, and women fair.
 All with spirits high, to chase the
 fieeting bOnrs away,
 With terpsichOrean rivalry.
 The occasion was the second prize dancing contest of the 4. L. Stern school of dancing, and that the fame of the first contest had widely spread the spirit of emulation was shown by the fact that there were an hundred and fifty yotaries of the fair goddess in attendance.
 By ballot the judges, in the persons of C. F. CrOnin, Bert Dunlap and Don aid Mcintyre, were chosen, and twelve couples awaited the opening rythmic, pulsing swing of the Blue Dauube' At the end of the allotted time five ot these couples were called for the second trial. and from these, three couples were chosen for the decisive trial.
 Of the final three couples it was ad- judged by the arbiters that Johnny Clark, and Miss taber, deservedly popular teacher at the Fort Yuma Ind ian school, were entitled to the respec- tive prizes, in order of names, John B. Stetson hat and an ostrich leather fan.
 A marked innovation that met with general favor was that individual dan- cers were judged, not couples, as has heretofore been the rule.
 There will be an interval of six weeks ere another contest will be held, and it is safe prediction that the next will be awaited with considerable interest.

A Card to the Public.

Referring to the notice of the recent dancing contest as given in the Enter prise Of Oct. 26, I wish to state that throughout it has no basis in fact It Is an undisputed fact that the atten- dance was hundred and fifty in num- Der; that the method of choosing the judges by ballot met with the heartiest approval. and that while there may have been some personal feeling in the matter of the decision, as there always has been since the beginning of the world in similar cases, the decision arrived at by competent and disinber- ested judges was generally regarded as just and proper. As regards the mat ter of the previous contest it was diff cult for the judges toreach decision between Mr. Clark and Mr. Levy, the prize being finally awarded to MT. Levy.
 My aim is to render equal and exact justice to all participants and the sys- tem Of selection of the judges and me- thod 0f individual judging was ntruduc ed tffat this object might 5e tke better attained

An Appeal from the Long Sufferlna
 Residents of the Valley.
EDITOR SENTlNEL:-

EDITOR SENTlNEL:-
 It is not often that the Valley people call upen their neighbors in town for assistance, but an opportunity will soon be given to everyone, to aid in develop. ing certain plans for bridging one or more of the dangerous ditches lying between them and the city.
 The country is so cut up by net work of canals and laterals, and sub. laterals that they not only constitute ar absolute menace to life and limb, but also serious drawback in the way of social intercourse and business traf- fic, between the town and country people.
 The success of the merchant, de- pends so largely upon the prosperity and patronage of the farmer, that one cannot afford to be independent of the other-their interests are identical.
 A subscription list has been circulat- ed, and quite generously responded to, by our enterprising and public-spirited citizens, and now the ladies propose to supplement their efforts. by giving q social and dance at the Suunyside school house on Friday evening, Octo Der Both. Good music will be provided and excellent refreshments consisting of delicious ham sandwiches anC chicken salad, not 'such as our moth CTS used to make" for they never dreamed of chickens like those raised in Yuma Valley, and cake, and coffee the genuine Java and Mocha. no Arbuckles!
 In addition there will be served ics cream. lemonade and other allurine delicacies.
 In order to accommodate all who wish to come, free transportation vii be provided from Yuma and back Two stylish tally-bo's, each drawn by four prancinG steeds will start prompt ly at 7:3G p, m. from Hotel Gandolfo.
