and Altogether 1t Was a Pretty
One.
The domestic goose could have Sc

came to winning, but with all that
they played as pretty a game of ball
as one could like to see, and altogether
the affair was one of the most de-
lightful diamond functions of the sea-
son.
The bronzed veterans from the fort
played in superb form, evincing no
i'll effects of their hard-fought battles
the two preceding days in Jackson
Vile Werner was not in the game,
being content to see the boys win
from the side lines.
Lindsay's Crack Pitching.
The feature of the game was the
steady, heady pitching of Lindsay, for
the troopers. Here is a ball pitcher
that has not yet had his day, and even
now, with the little practice that he
has had, he can hold his own with
any slabman in the Southern League.
Costly errors when one of the artillery
men happened to be on the bases was
responsible for the defeat of the troop
ers, and not a single one of the runs
tailed were earned.
Robinson's long running catch in
center field was a trick that most any
outflelder would have cause to be proud
Of The blocking of a hot one on
the ground by Litterer at first for the
troopers was another exceptional stunt.
ArtiIIerymen Led OF.
The first tally was made by the ar
tilerymen in the fourth inning, and it
looked very much like the game would
end with the score to in favor of
the Fort Screvens until the eighth,
when the field went all to pieces and
three men scored. Erwin got to first
on error at third, stole second and
scored on wild throw to first, which
left Jones safe. Jones was advanced
to third on a single by Wagnon, and
both scored on series of wild throws
from outfield to bases.
The official score:

CLAIMED UNFAIR TREATMENT
AT THE HANDS OF UMPIRE.

The Fort Screven baseball team re-
turned from Jacksonville yesterday
after playing two games of ball there
in which they were defeated. The
boys claimed that they were given de-
cidedly the worst of it in both games
by rank decisions on the part of the
umpire, and they say that one of the
National League teams could not have
beaten the Jacksonville team with such
handicap as was placed on them by
the decisions. The following state
ment was made by Capt. Stanhope
Erwin of the Fort Screven team:
After playing a Jacksonville UNI
pre- nine hard fought innings on
Jacksonville grounds, amid Jackson
vile rooters, and in Jacksonville rain,
the Fort Screven Tor as Jacksonville
news puts it, a Yamacraw aggrega-
tion, we were defeated by a score of
8 to l.
1t is no surprise to me, after hav-
ing played a game in this Florida town,
10 see how the management can put
out $1,000 challenge to all Southern
teams.
There is no doubt in my mind that
we could have won in walk yester-
day If we had had the least semblance
OF justice at the hands of the umpire.
4 don't believe any team in the
Northern leagues could win from Jack
Sonville with the umpire taking such
d decided stand for the home team.
III this umpire has been officiating
at all games played in Jacksonville
ms season we can very we'll under
stand how Jacksonville has been so
successful
From this card you would naturally
conclude we were sore upon our de-
1eat at the hands of the Jays yes
terday.
1t is not the treatment of the Jack
sonVille team we are kicking about,
put the repeated rotten decisions of
the umpire so disheartened my team
mat they saw that no matter what
kind of a game they might put up
they had not the slightest chance in
me world of winning. Very respect
fully, Stanhope Erwin,
Can't Fort ScreVen B. B. c."

Cinnabar, Mont, April 9.-President
Roosevelt made an early start this
morning from his headquarters in the
park for an extended trip through Ger.
tain portions of the reserve. There
are a large number of mountain lions
in the park and as the authorities are
making a determined effort to exter
inmate them, it is possible the presi
dent may get few shots during his
stay. Notwithstanding that numerous
notices have been given to the outside
world that no newspaper men would
be allowed in the park while the pres
ident was there, one enterprising re-
porter tried to force his way in yester-
day. He rode horse and had a dog
with him. The man was arrested be-
fore he had proceeded far and the dog
shot. Later the correspondent was
released.

BELCIUM'S KING
He is Not Loved By People Of
His Country.
HIS BIRTHDAY NOT CELEBRATED
Emperor Of Austria Washes Feet Of
Twelve Aged Men,
CRUISER COLORADO TO Be LAUNCHED

Brussels, April 9.-Today was the
sixty y-eigth birthday of King Leopold,
who was born April 8, 1895. The capit-
al and the country generally allowed
the anniversary to pass unnoticed, in
contrast to the loyal celebrations held
throughout Denmark yesterday on the
occasion of the eigth-fifth birthday of
the venerable and beloved King Christ.
ian.
1t is not to be assumed, however,
that Leopold is strickly speaking un-
popular with his subjects. 1t may be
said truthfully that the vast majority
of the people regard their king with
feeling of utter indifference rather
than any pronounced dislike. His
majesty has the wisdom to concern
himself little with the political affairs
of his kingdom, absents himself the
