FAST BASKET BALL,
Corcoran Cadets Defeated Defenders
Before Large Crowd.

There was q very large crowd at the
National Guard Armory last night to wit
ness the basket ball game between the De-
tenders of Baltimore and the Corcoran Ca
dets the latter being the champions of the
soldier boys this year. The local team was
in perfect form, and by its fast play simply
swept the Defenders off their feet. although
the latter did manage to make nineteen
goals while the Corcorans were scoring
forty. Team work was very much in evil
dence, both sides working we'll together,
but the unusual expert passing and throw
ing by the Corcorans kept the Defenders
in the rear from the start to the finish of
the match. Following is the official score:

First Congregational VS.. Metropolitan
Baptist, White Lot Ellipse
The grounds at 14th and A streets north
east were formally opened yesterday by
two new aspirants for Church League hon.
ors. Fifth Baptist fell a victim to the
Douglas team by the score of seven to
four. The boys put up an excellent game
considering the lumpy condition of the in
field, which made it very difficult to judge
the bounds of balls hit on the ground. A
large sized crowd applauded enthusiastic
cally at the many interesting points of the
game, and undoubtedly considered them
selves well repaid.
Fifth started off like winners. For four
innings they seemed to hold their oppo-
nents safe. Then something happened
With the score four to two in favor of the
Fifth, Mack of Douglas smashed one too
hot to be handled. In rapid succession the
clever Douglas boys mixed hard drives and
punky bunts, which their opponents mis-
handled Before Fifth had recovered itself
the first five men to face the pitch
er had scored Results proved that that
one inning settled the game. The fielding
in this inning was far below the previous
and subsequent ones that it may be fairly
considered a tough piece of luck for the
Fifth. The whole Douglas team deserves
praise for their clever exhibition of head
work in placing the ball and their daring
on the bases, taking advantage of every
opportunity.
Lewis pitched an excellent game. strik-
ing out eight men. He was somewhat wild
at times but steaded himself al critical
moments. Newgate had excellent control.
and with better support it is in doubt
where victory would have perched. The
two Elliotts secured the long-hit honors,
while special mention must be made OF
Raymond's clever handling of ground hits
at third base, and Mack's good work at
second The score:

for st. Patrick, and that Of Kern in the

that she could deliver the goods in the bat

VICTORY FOR ST. ALoYsIUs.
Brookland Opened Season at Home
With Defeat

The Brookand and st. Aloysfus teams
opened the base ball season in Brookland
yesterday afternoon. and the former lost
In a fve-inning contest. Lack of practice
and inability to hit contributed to the re-
suit. Both pitchers did well, but Van
Reuth's support was much stronger than
that given Simons. Mareans one-handed
catch of a fly from Landreau's bat on
which Cantwell was doubled up, was the
feature. Crooks and Sargent's errors were
very costly, as they resulted in the two
runs scored by St. Aloysius. The score.

Light and Sound,

Light travels so vastly much faster
han sound that there is no COMPARE
Bon between their velocities. The We
locity of light is about 1900 % miles a
second. AT this speed light will travel
about eight times around the earth in
a second, and light starting from the
sur will traverse the 100000 miles
OF space intervening between the sun
and the earth in eight minutes. So it
Is seen light flashes from one part Of
the earth to another, even the most re-
mote, simultaneously, or practically
so. Sound travels worse than a snairs
pace as compared with light, going
only about LOO feet in a second, or
about a mile in five seconds, or twelve
miles In a minute. These facts are no
uced, though m1 always understood,
by any n who sees q gun fired only
a few hundred yards away. The fash
and the puff Of smoke are seen instan-
taneously; the report of the gun al
ways comes p%erceptibly later, the time
intervening being greater or less, &C.
cord1ng to the distance.

Catching the Early sntder.

One must be an early riser IL he
would photograph a spiders web, for
the delicate fabric must be taken when
the dew is yet on it, so that the out
lines will be In sharp relief. The best
success is obtained when the webs
are on pine trees, and spiders seem to
favor these trees because Of the shell
ter they afford. Look on the least ex-
posed side Of the tree for your web,
for instinct teaches the little creatures
to make their homes where the strong
winds do not strike. In taking the
picture the lens should be brought very
near the web, in order to make the
threads as large as possible. I have
photographed a spiders web with a
4 by 8 camera and with a 6h by 81
instrument, having equally good sue
cess in each case. 1t Is well to have a
rubber focusing cloth and to keep it
over the camera all the time, for the
person who hunts spiders webs early
IN the morning must be prepared for
dampness.-Suburban Life.

The only name on the list of new

mouth of the river supervising GER
tain work in progress there. He was
stricken in a house in the city and
taken to the emergency hospital there.
News from the country is meager.

The accumulated capital c

The accumulated capital OF
the big life insurance companies,
having grown so vast, and the
power incident to control OF such
great sums of money, have been
cause for grave concern IN the
minds Of many thoughtful peo-
pie. These companies babe fair
to absorb the larger portion OF
the currency and available funds
of the country. Strange as it
seems the very abuses recently
disclosed in the management of
these colossal funds is the real
safeguard against the menace of
these accumulations. The sur
plus funds may be greatly re-
duced as a result of these scan
dalous breeches of trust.
The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1905-09-15

A good many people in the
city are expressing surprise that
the city government, in the mat
ter of it's treatment of the Gro
ton-Ferney telephone company.
should permit the impression to
60 abroad that it is reluctant,
even opposed, to letting farmers
telephone lines enter the city.
If this is the position of our city
government it is certainly not
representative of the sentiment
of the people of the city. The
overwhelming sentiment of bust
ness men and residents of Aber-
deem is in favor of not only per-
hitting these rural lines to enter
but believe they should be in
vited to come in and be welcome.
The question as to whether any
of them be given a general fran
chise to build through all the
streets and alleys Of the city
could be left for after considera-
ton. These rural lines are be-
ing organized and extended in
communities north, south, east
and west and must all inevitably
enter the city which has become
the distributing point, the fnan-
cial and educational center of a
vast scope of country. When a
thing must be done let it be done
with the best grace possible.

One of the most striking illus
trations of the fact that this is
the land of opportunities is the
experience of Reinhold Anger
hofer, who last spring bought
the Northwest quarter of sec
ton twenty-five, 1906, in this
county. He sowed the land to
wheat and has just threshed his
crop. The yield was twenty
five bushels to the acre, and at
20 cents the value of the crop per
acre is $3.50, $3.50 more per
acre than the land cost. How
ever the full value of the crop
only equalled the cost of the
land, as a portion of it was not
cropped.

An Exception

When one of the aldermen of
the city, addressing his collea-
CUES, inveys against the farmers
in the vicinity of Groton and
Ferney, who have provided them
selves with telephone communi-
cation and desire to extend their
wires to the city, calling them
Foreigners" who offer to pay
the city nothing for the privilege
they ask; when the other mem
bers of the council, by their sill
ence, appear to give assent to
these sentiments, these alder
men should not complain if their
action is entirely misconstrued.
These farmers who voted solidly
to make Aberdeen the county
seat, may quite naturally resent
being called foreign corpora
ton and twitted with seeking a
franchise without offering to pay
for it. They have organized and
operate a telephone system for
service at cost and not for pro-
fits, much less fortunes, for any
