PRINTING OFFICE LEAGUE.
Foundry outplayed Columbia in Field
and at Bat

In a rather listless game with no especial
features the Foundry team defeated the
Columbus in the Government Printing Of
flee League yesterday evening by the score
of II to 10.
Inability to hit Brown at critical times
was the cause of Columbia's defeat, while
Foundry batted Beddaw hardest when hits
meant runs.
Because of the slippery condition of the
ball accurate fielding could not be success
fully attempted, and each team made sew
eraI errors.
The game was late in starting. owing to
about to begin. and but seven innings could
be played before darkness set in.
Both teams were evenly matched up to
the fifth inning, the at that time
being Z to Z, but in the sixth a single by
Mills and two-baggers by Burlingame and
Brown put the Foundrys two runs to the
good and in the last, aided by darkness,
they piled up eight runs and clinched the
game
The throwing Of both catchers was very
poor, seven bases being stolen off Shawen
and five off Chamberlain.
Burlingame's batting was about the only
feature, he getting two two-baggers and
a single. Mills also did good work with the
willow, getting three-baggcr and single
About 500 fans were present roofing Tor
their respective teams, the rain not anect-
ing their enthusiasm in the least.

COMMISSIONERS WON.
Cantwells Fine Pitching Shut Out Mt.
Pleasant Lads.

The Commissioners must have been
smarting under the defeat recently admin
istered by Georgetown when they ran
against the Mount Pleasant Congregationals
of the Sunday School League at American
League Park yesterday, because they played
like winners from the start, and shut out
their opponents by the score of to o.
Cantwell had perfect control, and his
Blenders were almost complete puzzle TO
the Mount Pleasant boys, but three singles
being made off his delivery. Kohler also
pitched fairly good ball for the Congrega
tionalS but he was somewhat wild, and his
work couldn't stand comparison with his
opponent on the rubber. Back of both
twirlers the players did well, numerous fast
plays being pulled off, and neither side
could get man over the rubber in the first
four innings In the fifth the Commission
ers hung up their first score, the result of
Hoffman's tremendous drive for three bases
and a slow infield hit. In the seventh two
hits were punched on Kohler, and again
Hoffman came to the resue with long fly
to the outfield, which enabled Gates to cross
the plate. In the eighth single a sacri-
flee and an error by Herring gave the Com
missioners their last run. The Mount Pleas
ant boys worked out to break their string
of ciphers, but Cantwell went the route
without slip, and they had to go home
with a whitewaSh against them The score:

st. Patrick's outhelded, outbatted and
Outgeneraled Aloysius.

When play commenced In the bali game
at the Coliseum yesterday public opinion
was divided as to the probable winner A
slight margin in the sentiment may have
existed favoring A1oysius, owing to the
mastery game they put up against Carroll
Institute last week. However that may be,
all present expected to see hotly-contested
game, and they were not disappointed.
Before the time for calling the game the
clouds, which had been collecting, had done
their worst, although they hung as pail
watching the contest they had failed to
prevent. If the interest in the game had
not been at fever heat the disagreeabe
weather conditions would have quickly dis
persed the enthusiasts. The game was won
by st. Patrick's by the close score of 8 to
2, the winners showing superiority at all
points Of the game. They outbatted. out
fielded and outgeneraled their opponents
Stanley was complete enigma. Only one
man succeeded in placing the ball safe and
that one hit was punky little bunt which
took a bad bound when Curry reached for
1t. The two runs which Aloysus recorded
were mere gifts, two bases on balls and
two wild throws scoring them.
st. Patrick's made their first run in the
third inning. Bates hitting safely and scor-
ing on safeties by Stanley and Carroll. In
this inning Anderson eNtricated himself
from very bad situation by striking out
two men and making Cyzick foul out to
the catcher, while three men languished on
bases. A base on balls to Carroll and
hit by Cyzick gave them one more in the
fifth. In the seventh two runs were tai
lied after the side should have been retired,
Ricker's error on CAROLS fly being re-
sponsble An error, a sacrfic and clean
single by Carroll permitted Curry to make
the circuit in the closing inning.
Aloysius could only make the acquaint
ance of first base six times four bases on
balls. one hit and an error accounting for
It, The seventh inning. however, was the
only one in which they were permitted to
extend their tours beyond third base In
this inning Kicker was passed and made
the circuit when Cyzick's feet slipped in
attempting to field Carrolls throw, the ball
going to center, and Harlan dilatorily lob
bling 1t in. Another gift to Spillane an
out and error accounted for the second
and last run.
Special mention must be made of Cyzck's
good pickup and throw of Ricker's slow
grounder. Curry caught a foul fly back
near the fence after a hard run, which
brought the crowd to It's feet The 5000.

THE KAMRANH BAY AFFAIR.
Frenchmen Deny Furnishing Supplies
to the Fleet

cablegram from Paris says: Marquis de
Barthelemy who with Count de Pourtales
operates the French concession at Kamranh
bay, AMMAN. in the course of an interview
denies that his establishment furnished coal
OF provisions to the Russian second Pecfic
squadron. He said:
THE maximum OF our coaling facilities
IS 700 tons. This is an Insignificant guam
tity for the ffty-two warships Of Admiral
Rojestvensky's squadron. which establishes
the fact that we could not recoal the
squadron
Concerning the charge that the squad
ron secured coal at Saigon, the fact Is that
a small coaling depot exists on the Mekong
river not far from Saigon. At the outset
Of the war the Russians bought a large
tract of land there. erected sheds and ac-
cumulated supplies, particularly coal, which
was bought originally from Japan. 1t is

sent his GOLFERS but no warship approach

placed upon Russian land and loaded upon
Russian transports. This was not a viola
non OF neutrality. France could not pre-
vent the Russians from taking their own
coal on their own land. II the natives were
At fault in selling the land to the Russians
the japanese would not have waited foe
fifteen months before protesting"
Although the Marquis de Barthelemy
gives the foregoing a refutation of the
charges, tne statement concerning the Rus
sian coal depot the Mekong may open
a new phase OF the question.
Admiral de Jonquieres. the French naval
commander at Saigon, confirms the an
nouncement of the departure of the Rus
sian squadron from off Vanfong bay. He
says he saw the Russians well off the coast
under full steam.
The officials at Paris say the French ad-
miral's report relieves the seriousness of
the issue with Japan. the departure of
the squadron was what Japan asked for.
The Paris Matin admits there is a Marquis
Bartelemy, who is the holder OF a conces-
sion at kamranh bay from the French
government In conjunction with a Mons.
Bourtales; it also admits that the Russians
had a coaling depot on the Island of Me
kong. near Saigon, from which the Rus
sian colliers filed their holds The Matin
also states that the only precise complaint
that can be made Is that the Russians en-
tered French territorial waters and with
the knowledge of the French government
This occurred only once. when Admiral
Rojestvenskys fleet entered kamranh bay.
