y BASEBALL



Saturday the Olympia baseball team
and an out of town team will cross bats
on the diamond in the rear OF the Raritan
Copper Works. The Olympias would like
to hea" fiom the M%etuchen A. G. Birden
Golden, 4s2 State street, is the manager.
1t is understood that the American
Smelling and Refining Works baseball
team will give a big supper at the end OF
the Factory League games, if they win
the cup. From every Indication the cur
will be theirs.
The local BARRIERS baseball team de
clare that they will surely square up for
their defeat of last Sunday, at a return
game scheduled to be played at Amuse-
ment Park next Sunday, as a preliminary
to the big game.
'But'' Burchell pitched Baltimore tt
victory over Buffalo yesterday. The score
was 4 to 3.

WRESTLING
A FEATURE.
Big Attendance at the Danish
SOCiahIe A. C.-StOckeI
Threw Lind.

At the meeting of the Danish Sociable
A. G. last night in the rooms, in Park
avenue. five new members were admitted.
For the first time in many weeks, a
wrestling match took place. 1t was be-
tween Ole Lind, and Marinus Stocked.
The style was Graceo-R Roman, two cut of
three falls to count. Lind won the first
in about ten minutes, and Stocked won
the last two. Lind slightly injured his
left shoulder.
The club is making great preparations
for a grand time in honor of the fourth
anniversary. 1t will occur in October.
The Ell .ction Of officers will also be held
then.
At the meeting last night nearly all of
the members were present, and from now
on it is understood that they will be on
hand at every meeting, and that wrestling
will he made a feature.

STRONG TEAM
FOR SUNDAY.
Philadelphia Professionals Will
Come Here is the Pick Of all
Semi-PUfessiOnaIs in that City.

Next Sunday the Philadelphia Profess
SIGNALS, one of the best teams in Pennsyl-
vania, will oppose the Perth Amboys at
Amusement Park. This team is made up
of the pick of the semi-professional
players in Philadelphia who play on Sat
urday.
They are gathered together for the Sun
day games by Manager John O'Rourke,
who also manages the Camden team and
the Crescents. The latter team, as all
the fans know, is a strong combination
while the Professionals are acknowledged
to be n still faster combination.
The Professionals put up a fine game
against the Murray Hills two weeks age
and would have beaten them but for SOM
horrible roasts handed out to visitors by
the umpire. Manager O'Rourke promises
to bring one of the strongest teams that
has ever appeared in this city.
Opposed to him he will have a very fast
team az the Perth Amboys will appear on
the field just as they did last Sunday.
The fans were all willing to admit that
the local team was a swell bunch of play
ers and it would be difficult to pick out q
weak spot. Justice on third base is n biz
help to the team and it Is hard to see
where the infield with Hoffner, Rein
acher, Cox and Justice could be improved
In Livingston the locals have found just
the right man for slab duty and his game
against the All Cubans stamps him as q
mighty clever pitcher.
There is no reason Why mex Sunday
game shouldn't be just as interesting as
was last Sundays and the proba bilities are
that the fans will again turn out in bis
numbers to witness the battle.

ed prematurely ana both men We're

ed very serious injuries. He was bad
ly cut about the head, mis- eyes We're
filled with dust and sand, and his back
was severely Wrenched. At the pres
ent time it is not known definitely how
serious his injuries are, but the ply
sisians fear that if complications de-
velop his condition will become pre-
cariOus.
Stewart escaped with lighter in

and small bits of stone, but it is not
believed that they will be permanently
injured He also received bruises
about the head and body.

ROCKEFELLER IN THE TOLLS

1t is reported in New York that Mr..
Rockefeller has acquired a control
ling interest in the New York Central
railroad and in the New Haven road
He now owns the gas works and cleo
trio plant of New York city. He is
owner of most of the stock of
the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany. He is large owner Of
United States Steel bonds. He has
a few miles of ore lands in Minneso-
ia. He has a chain of banks, including
the National City of New York, with
its $20,000.000 capital, and an import
ant bank in Boston. He is one of
the large owners of Missouri, Kansas
& Texas and Southern Pacific rail-
roads. And, of course. everybody
knows that he is the Standard Oil
company. People often say that they
should think he had enough now
and would be willing to retire. AS
Miss Tarbell shows in the last chap
ter of her history in the current Nc
| Clure's, this is an mpossibility. 1t is
| necessary to reinvest and care for the
vast sums rolling in from Standard
Oil. 1t looks as if the octopus not only
had us but its owner as we'll in it's
| tentacles.

SHOULD CORRECT DEFECTS IN
TIME

If citizens observe any defects in
the pavement now being laid in Alder
street it is their duty to make the facts
known before the work is completed.
Some fault has been found With the
laying of the hot asphalt on a loose
foundation opposite the DrumheIler lot.
The inspector employed by the citv on
the recommendation of City Engineer
Thomson of Seattle says that the not
asphalt knits the binder together and
no harm is done by the gravel in the
binder working loose. Some small
holes in the pavement opposite Gross
miller'S place have also been pointed
out as indicating that the asphalt COW
ering is soft, but they may have been
made by a horses hoofs before the as
phalt had hardened
All these alleged defects should be
pointed out and remedied if necessary
before the work progresses too far.
There are some serious defects in the
concrete curbing on Palouse street.

THE FIRST HEAVY FROST.

Sam Nichols and John D. Atkinson,
the Farrell Grosscup nominees for
secretary of state and attorney general
respectively. encountered the first
heavy frost of the season in Walla
Walla at the Armory hall rally last
night. The only applause either re-
ceived was when he sat down.
Nothing is palmer than the fact that
the candidates on the railroad ticket
are not in favor in Walla Walla cOun-
ty. They will lose the silent, independ-
ent vote and will be beaten by a de-
cisive majority.
Oar F. Reese, the imported speaker
from Minnesota. was more favorably
received. as he discussed only national
issues. However. the presidential con-
test so far as this state is concerned
is so one sided that little interest is
taken in the matter. The attention Of
the voters is riveted on the state con-
test in which party lines are ignored in
the determination to put an end to the
disgraceful rule of the corrupt and
corrupting railroad lobby that has
dominated the lawmaking body of the
state since its admission to the Union.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-09-30

The employment by the county COM
miSSioners of a man at SO day from
the county treasury to look up records
and write articles in defense of their
official conduct is another example of
the loose handling of the public funds
by the present board. 1t is true that
the man SO employed is on the regular
salary list as a deputy. but the COM
missioners are taking up the time that
he should give to his official duties in
requiring him to do political work for
their benefit.
