SIXTH PRESBYTERIAN
D0VNSST. STEPHENS
Tailenders Played Good
Baseball and Won.
SCORE WAS SIX TO THREE
Wheatly outpirched McCathran and
the Team outfelded Their
Opponents.

The hills of Georgetown were rejoicing
last night over the fourth victory of the
season for the Sixth Presbyterian,
which defeated st. Stephens on the
White Lot by to 8 yesterday.
St Stephens lost its game in the first
inning. when off five hits and two er-
rors the bottom notchers crossed the
counting pan five times.
The Episcopal boys put up plucky
resistance and several times during the
game it looked as though there might
be chance, but Sixth had the winning
spirit and held them down.
Wheatly did the stunt in the box and
proved effective at al times, having fine
control and holding the opposing bats
men safe at all times.

Chicago race-players have combined
business with pleasure lately by taking
lake trips on specially equipped steam
er, which had wireless communication
with the shore. thereby getting the rae
ing news. Monday, however, the shore
connection was ''pinched'' and the lid
is, to some extent, on again, although
the handbooks still maintain a rather
precarious existence. Just what the
next move of the bookmakers will be is
hard TO guess. They are going to make
strong legal fight, however, to keep
up their news service, claiming that
there is no law against disseminating
such information. In the meantime the
players must. perforce, accumulate bank
rolls and will be well fortified against
the next venture. So, in the long rum
the promoters viii lose nothing by their
temporary shutdown.

Frisco at rather short notice. and with
limited training, while Mike had been
in Mormondom for nearly three months,
putting himself in the finest possible

Barry good deal and probably had
as much to do with his defeat as Schreck

Another Californian, George Herbert,

TRACTION ENGINE A SUCCESS.

The big traction engine against which all kinds of prophecies have been hurled walked out of Mesa yester- day morning with four of the largest tanks of oil. containing 40 barrels of oil and wended it's way toward ROOse- welt. The wagons are hitched close to- getheP, separated only by giant springs to keep them from crushing into each other. On the last wagon there was d heavy brake to steady the train. The engine moved off at a rate of about three miles per hour. Thus it seems that the question is solved at last and if the teams on the other end are broken in to do good work, there will be sufficient oil for the future. Man ager Tracy Smith has moved every thing to make this engine a success and his many friends here are con graduating him and his company on thus solving the question.

STORE IMPROVEMENTS.
A BAD ACCIDENT.

L. F.. Redden met with an accident yesterday afternoon that came near being serious. He had just unhitched a team from a sulky rake and was leading them away from it, when a tug caught in the rake and the team started to run. The steel frame of the rake struck him on the back of the head knocking him down and cutting a bad gash. The wound was dressed at once and no serious consequences are anticipated.
