Sheckels pitched a magnificent game,
and had he been supported as was his
opponent, the Congregationalists would
be one of the three teams tied for first
place.
The Methodists made two three base
hits in succession in the fourth-one by
F. Symanoski and one by Burroughs.
They helped some
Sebastian's ground-Iiner in the second
was straddled by both Lord a short
and Symanoski in left. and he made a
home run.
Clements. in center for the Congrega-
tionalistsr made long run and circus
catch in the first that brought him a
loud round of applause.
SpringSguth. at second for the Metho-
dIsts, made several bad errors, but he
was more than forgiven when he
stopped q hot one out in right beat the
rI;nner to second, and got the ball to

Captain Chittenden was on third yes

he failed TO maintain the high standard
he established at first in previous
games.

Yesterday was the first time in three
years that Lave Cross has missed a full
game. The bowlegged third baseman is
at his home in Philadelphia recovering
from the effects OF the liner from HueiS-
mans bat in the opening inning on Mon
Gay.
The series which ended yesterday was
rocky for the Athletics. Besides the de-
feats the club has been robbed OF the
services of Captain Cross, and yesterday
Schreck was obliged to leave the game
on account of an injured finger DR.
Powers. who relieved him. got a rap on
one of his fingers, but as there was no
other catcher TO take his place he had to
see K through.

the usual order Of things and defeating
regularly the strongest teams in this

DEMANDS PARK
BE RESTORED
City Sues Ejectment of Many
Residents From Franklin
Square and for Damages

City Attorney Long yesterday began
suit for ejectment and damages on be-
half of the city against the Spring Val
ley Water Company, the Union Trust
Company and several other co-defend-
ants. The complaint alleges that the
defendants are unlawfully occupying
Franklin Square, bounded by Bryant,
Hampshire, Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets, which, it is alleged, is city
ground. The damages are placed at
$4,000 for Withholding property and
$4,000 additional for value Of rents that
have accrued. The defendants have
occupied the land since March IL 1858.
Recently the Park Commissioners de-
cided that they had funds enough to
proceed with the improvement of the
square and discovered that it was al
ready occupied. They Immediately re-
quested the City Attorney to institute
proceedings of ejectment preparatory
to beginning work.
The Spring Valley Water Company's 8
claim, 1t is said, is based on its pur-
chase of a reservoir from John Bens-
ley, who conducted a waterworks,
which he later sold to the city. 1t is
alleged by the city that Bensley merely
had "squatter's rights" to the land and
that his sale to the water company
does not affect the city's rights. The
reservoir has been abandoned and the
land has since been used by the Spring
valley for the purpose Of rental.
The others included in the suit who
are occupying and renting on the dis
puted square are Winifred Bergen and
Catherine Halmar. John Hass and
Michael O'Donnell. The land was set
aside for park under the Van Ness
ordinance of 1853.
