J. SECOND FAST CONTEST.
The Club Records.


The baseball teams Of the Twin city
League gave their usual Saturday double
header at Broad Street Park yesterday to
a crowd that at tho greatest probably
appropriated 1900 to 1000 people. The
Manchester colts walloped the uncertain
Richmond aggregation badly IN the first
game, winning by score Of II to 2. In
the second game, the champion Brownies
defeated Barton Heights by a score of 8
to Z in a game that was full of excite
ment. hard hitting. kicking, good and bad
plays. and several brilliant ones. The
second game was the only real contest,
and that was marred very much by num-
erous errors and great dissatisfaction by
tho crowd with the decisions of Umpire
Hicks, a citizen who volunteered for the
work.
In the first game, Pitcher Dan Shaw.
who held the northside sluggers down
and defeated that crack team earlier In
the week, was hammered numerically
by the Mapchestcrlans, and after the
fourth inning. it was merely question
Of how many runs could be scored.
Leake, on the other hand. held the Rich
mond batters at all times. letting them
down with five we'll scattered singles.
He pitched shut-out game, but errors
enabled the opponents to score twice.
Manchester failed to find Shaw until the
third inning, when singles by Jennings
and Albert Anthony and three-bagger
by John Anthony scored two runs.
In the fifth. they hammered Shaw
very hard. Leake was safe on Waters's
errors. and Hogan followed with n. single.
Jennings's out at first advanced both,
and J. Anthony's single scored two.
Anthony stole second and took third on
an error. A. Anthony's safety scored
him. Singles by Edwards and Swift
scored a. Anthony.
The cannonading of Shaw was contn-,
ued III the sixth. Gilmore started the fun
with a safe drive to centre; Leake was
safe on Jones's error; Hogan walked.
At this critical moment, Jennings lined
out a three Dagger to centre and cleared
the bases. Jennings tried to score on
J. Anthony's hit to short, but Jones
threw him out at the plate. "A. An.
thongs triple scored his brother. Ed
wards walked and promptly stole second.
A. Anthony scoring. Edwards scored on
Iouchins's single. That was six. but.
1t was more than plenty.
IN the eighth Manchester's sluEgers got
going again, and added q quartette OF
runs more. J. Anthony walked and pill
fercd second, Edwards's single scored
him. whereupon Edwards stole both Sec
ond and third. Swift was given q pass,
and did the larceny act also. Houchtns

BUILDING IN DECEMBER
Minneapolis Gained Per Cent Re.
ports Of Other Cities.

The record Of building operations in
twenty-five of the principal cities of
the country for December make high
ly satisfactory showing and is in
keeping with the splendid increases
which many of the preceding months of
the year made over the corresponding
periods Of 1903. According to official
reports to Construction News, permits
were taken out in these cities for the
construction Of 5,275 buildings at an es-
timated cost of $24,353, JIG, against
4, 299 buildings involving SIG, 1872, $40 for
the corresponding month year ago, an
incgease Of 976 buildings and $780,.
SOC, or IS per cent. -,
It does not seem that there is any
thing phenomenal about these increases
when the general improvement in com
mercial lines is taken into consideration.
It would seem that operations were up
on a normal, healthy basis, and that
cember may be looked forward to from
now on. There are no discourage
ing features in the situation in
so far as authorities upon the
subject can see. There is in none of
the cities enumerated a boom or any
great speculative movement in either
real estate or building, but a constant
and steady demand for more buildings
to meet the requirements for all pur-
poses for which buildings may be need
ed whether it be for mercantile, indus
trial or residential purposes.
A perusal Of the accompanying table
gives one at glance an idea Of the
situation:
