cause ammonia makes the glass cloudy, and harder

enough for small houseful OF windows.
All portable pieces of woodwork in Ulusty cellar

near the kitchen stove to dry out. Where there
is danger of mould unslaked lime sfeould be used

cellar for any length of time should be carefully
wiped off before il is eaten. As has often been
stated the almost invisible mould clinging to IL

The Washington Ball Club to Remain

II can be stated with absolute assurance
that there is no truth whate- er in the re-
ports which have appeared in print within
the past day or two to the effect that ne
gotiations are now in progress for the sale
of the Washington Base Ball Club to Mr.
Killilea of Milwaukee or. In fact. TO any
other outside bidder for the local fran
chise. One Of these reports is to the effect
that Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri-
can League. was consulted in Cincinnati
yesterday by George Tebeau, owner of the
Louisville club OF the Western League
who is anxious to secure the Washington
organization. This report. like the other
lacks foundation. Mr.. Johnson is in Wash

ST. ANTHONY WON.
Close Game Played in Marquette
League Yesterday Afternoon.

The game between the st. A: thony and
st. Paul teams in Brookland yesterday was
called at the end of the seventh inning by
Umpire Gray on account of darkness The
game was delayed by wrang1ing over the
eligibility of certain players whom ST.
Paurs manager wanted to put in, but to
whom objection was made by st. An
thongs manager. 1t is said that when the
Marquette League was organized the aver
age age Of any team should not be over
eighteen years. but those players over
whom the question was raised yesterday,
1t is stated. were full-grown men.
st. Paurs boys punched their hits with
ST. Anthonys errors in the first two in
nings and five runs were scored. This
was reversed in the fifth and sixth innings,
when st. Anthony took to swatting the
ball and St. Paul to Iumbling. AS result
eight runs were scored. st. Paul added
two more runs in the sixth. but could not
overcome st. Anthony's lead. Harring-
tons running catch IN left field was the

Interest in Seaboard Stocks.

A dispatch from Baltimore says: There
is much interest manifested lately in finan-
ciaI circles over the strong feeling shown
at times in the transactions in Seaboard
Air Line common and preferred stocks.
There has been for some time rumor
abroad that New York syndicate was
after the Seaboard Air Line holdings of
Messrs. ]. William Middendorf & Co. of
Baltimore, and John L. Williams & Sons of
Richmond, Va. While these rumors are
persistent, they cannot be traced to an
authoritative source which would justify
the statement that the rumors could be
taken as facts.
Local brokers have been for some time
looking for a transfer of the holdings of
these two firms who. since their mutual
embarrassment some months ago, had been
relieved by a committee of bankers of this
city and New York. in order to let them
dispose of their holdings without sacrifice
and get on their feet again.
With the activity in the market these
same brokers declare they feel that the
crisis will come In a short time. and that
the stocks held by Middendorf & Co. and
Williams q Sons win go into the hands of

The Turner Athletic team won the
game with woodward & Lothrop yester-
day afternoon by the score of IL to 6. The
Turner's secured good lead early in the
contest. and their opponents never had
chance to head them. Several of the runs
scored by the Woodward & Lothrop team

Standing of American League Clubs.
Standing of National League Clubs.

The Senator's winning streak - three
consecutive victories-was checked by
the Tigers In the game played yesterday
Mt Detroit. the Tigers securing four runs.
while the Senator'S were able to chase but
one tally across the pan. The game was
played on a field ankle-deep in mud. and
the Senators. who have usually been sue
cessful In padding contests, made num-
Der of costly errors. The Tigers fielded
nicely in spite of the handicap of mud.
and Hickman and Lowe accepted numer-
Gus chances without an error Hill made
some nice stops at third.
The Senator's solitary score was Sc
cured as the result of a two-bagger by
Townsend and a single by Stahl in the
fifth inning. Detroit earned two runs in
the third. and again in the sixth the
Tigers secured pair of counters. due to
wild throwing and poor fielding.
The score follows.
