Some of the Candidates.

Rumors are rife at the hotels, court
house. stores and street assemblies re-
garding the men most likely to offer
themselves as candidates for mayor and
council. Washington Hicks. who is re-
garded BY many as the leading mer-
chant here, has been mentioned. II Is
understood that he is favorable to the
road. David J. Bready. the leading
grocer Of the town. is likewise favor
able. judging from report Jacob Poss.
senior member Of the firm OF J. Poss &
Son. hverymen, IS mentioned as being
favorable TO the road. Albert King,
barber: William r Humphrey, under
taker: Samuel r. Haney, carriage dealer;
John NJ. Heagy, marble works and Law
renee Flack, hotel, are some Of those
whose places Of business and homes are
on the street over which the cars for
merly passed, and they know the nui-
sances which existed at that time 1t
is very likely that at least three OF these
gentlemen will either go into the fight
of their own accord or be brought into

Four People Killed.

There have been four people killed
at this point by the railroad trains" said
DR.. Hull. 1T is a daily occurrence that
some one narrowly escapes being killed
or injured This morning, a few minutes
before the arrival of a train ut the cross
ing, a little child caught her foot in the
tracks, and would have been struck by
the train had there not been some one
there 10 eXtricate her foot.
He declared that the tracks here are
crossed 5000 times a day by the Brook
land people, and that the trains pass the
place at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
He said the schedule Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Company shows that only
thirty-four trains pass the crossing
daily, but that an actual count by peO-
pie near the place showed that every
day hfty-nine trains Pass-twenty-ei light
west bound and thiTty-One east bound
DR.. Hull maintained that such a con-
ditiOn of affairs imperiled the lives of
citizens unnecessarily. and that some
things ought TO be done at once TO
give BrOokland relief from the danger.
To accomplish this, he thought, the
abolition Of the grade crossing, By low
ering the railroad tracks at least ten
feet. would be necessary He pointed
out that such action wOuld enable the
street railway to cross the steam rail-
road tracks and thus enter the heart
of BrOOklaud.

Residents Fight Road.

The residence part of the town,
through which the road formerly pass
ed. is against the road re-entering ex-
cept under a very strict ordinance. The
business section is willing for the road
to come back and stop as heretofore at
the court house. The west end resi-
dence section is unwilling for the road
TO enter the limits at all. unless It goes
through TO the WOOdlawn Hotel, in the
extreme wet end. These are conditions
now existing, and these are the elements
which will settle this question next
month.
If the people do not agree among
themselves-and this they have failed
70 do for years-it Is hard 10 gather an
idea Of what the outcome Of the town
election VIII be Outside OF the fact
that the people cannot ag~ee upon a plan
10 admit the road. they are divided be-
cause OF personal and political quarrels.
However. The people want the road into
the town again, but when the election
comes many votes for mayor and
council favora BILE 20 the road will be cast
against them on account Of The above
reasons.

Temporary Gate Asked For.

Pending the abolition of the grade
crossing. he asked that a railroad gate
be put up Of such a character as TO
prevent people from going on the tracks
when a moving train was near the
crossing. If the grade crossing could
not be abolished on the Bunker Hill
Road, he suggested that a bridge be
put across the tracks at some Other
corner, thus DETECTING the traffic from
the Bunker Hill Road.
Other speakers who elaborated DR..
Hulls arguments were A f. Kinnan,
president OF the association, and
Father Bede. Of the Franciscan Mon
astery in BrOOkland. They claimed that
the grade crossing ought to be abol-
ished IN order to insure the safety Of
the lives Of the women and children
who cross the tracks in hundreds.
The Commissioners announced at the
close OF the hearing that they would
give the matter thorough cOnsidera-
ton. They decided TO communicate
with officials of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway, TO inquire If the road
was willing 70 establish a serviceable
gate at the crossing.

DOREEN A STAKE WINNER.
Defeats Queen of Isle at Inglesidt
After Some Hard Running.

J. Mannings fawn and white grey
hound Doreen fooled the talent by
turning up a winner yesterday in the
open stake at Ingleside coursing park.
She beat Queen of Isle in the deciding
course decisively, by a score of 13 to L.
Her hackers secured five to three for
their money. The Furnishing work
that came to Queen of Isle in the long
courses of the preceding rounds took
away her chance to win. Doreen ran
a. bye course with Frisky Boy in the
sixth round and was beaten, serving
further to make her victory in the
final surprise.
The hard trials in the rundown of
the stake on Saturday put several of
the entries out of commission and the
stewards ordered them withdrawn.
Among these was the good dog
Rector, which had been picked to win
the stake. Out of the forty-eight
carded to go in the second round eight
were withdrawn and five more de-
clined the issue before the sixth round
was reached. There were several linn
it courses. The Conroy-Firm Fellow
course lasted three minutes and forty
three seconds and at the end seven
dogs were in pursuit of the demon
hare Conroy was in when one of the
relief dogs made the kill. Reckless
Acrobat ran an undecided course with
Dear CASTOR in the fourth round and
then won s to 2, but had to be with
drawn. Following are the results
with Judge Thomas Tierney's official
scores:

Los ANGELES, June SIN a game
replete with sensational features. the
champions defeated San Francisco by

a brilliant game was a triple play by
the Angels in the ninth inning. which
in all probability saved the day. With
Anderson on second base and Reitz

on the nose and drove it on a line be-
tween first and second bases. Both
runners, thinking the drive safe. start

Wheeler, the locals second baseman,
however, Ieaped in the air. caught the
ball on the fly and quickly passed 1t
to Flood at second. who in turn shot
the ball to Chase on first, retiring
the three runners So quickly had the
play been made that the spectators
scarcely realized it and the excitement
that followed the first triple play OF the
season was tremendous. Another spec
tacular play occurred in the fifth inn
ing, when. with one out and runners
on the first and second stations. Flood
made a wonderful running catch OF
an apparently safe hit just over short.

VICTORY IN ONE INNING
Graham Loses His Bearings
With Two Gone and Five
Tallies Are Gathered In
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

For the first time in moons too nu-
merous to enumerate the Brownies got
rid of the dopey vapor yesterday that
has enveloped them. They shook 1t on
altogether and kept sidestepping 1t
every time it was due to get working
again. Something had to fall when the
trick was turned. II happened to be
the Oakland leaders and twice they
were dumDed-at Oakland TO and at
Recreation Park to g.
Well, the people in the stands nearly
threw fits. No one could tell what was
going on, but the Brownies were there.
They played ball and they had luck In
fact they had everything. Whenever
Oakland was due for rally something
happened. That's the tale OF the two
games yesterday, the baseball sensa-
tions of the day on the Coast.
When the news of the morning vic
tory was winded about Eighth street
1t only made the wise ones smile lit
tie more conspicuously and each was
wont TO say: well. what a beating
they will give Mr.. "Skellim" Roach this
p. M, just for revenge" Oakland
could not do even that, although Mr..
Roach looked like pie for them.
Oakland had the game all nailed up
and ready for delivery till the fifth.
Mr.. Graham developed his usual anti
civilized tendencies and passed Steel
man. Shea responded with a drive to
center and Roach flew to Ganley max
ing the second out. brennan bit at two
strikes, but Graham walked him, fill
ing 'em all up.
Nor could he keep the kinks out of
the sphere when McCreedie faced him.
The first ball struck the Judge and
Steelman was forced in. Nadeau un-
loaded a two bagger out to left and
Shea and brennan hied themselves
hither. When Mr.. Beck eased a be-
whiskered liner through second base it
simply brought in the other two men
and broke UP the game.
Oakland was still game, however, and
in the sixth it seemed the big stunt
was about to be pulled of. Brick Dew
ereaux commenced with a single to
center and Moskiman was there with a
double to right. On Byrnes' out, short
to first, Brick tripped in and the Doc
arrived while Graham was being gath
cred in, Beck to Steelman.
That was all till Portland drove in
two more during the last period of the
day. "Skellim" Roach seemed to have
everything when his team got into the
running and nobody was allowed to
make any hits off his winders when
they might do some good.
Oakland outhit the Brownies, but
suffered from hard luck and bad base
ball. In the second round Mr.. Schlafiey
got caught off third when only one
man was out. Two hits closely follow
ed this play and it meant that Oakland
lost a couple of runs. Then in the
fourth Ganley led off with a drive and
Francks popped a short one to right.
McCreedie fiipped it and doubled Gan
ley at first. for he started on the hit.
Again in the fifth Devereaux was
caught the same way when MOskiman
bunted out to Roach. The score:
