Trinity Loses to St. Vincent Club

The Turnerites bumped the Trinity aggre-
cation again last evening when Merrill lost
his head and threw wild over third on Car
rfcks bunt In the eighth round. Both
twirlers worked hard, and had the George
town pitcher received better support at cru
cial moments the result would probably
have been changed. Lefty Wooden was
trotted out to perform on the firing line for
Turner. and slightly outpitched his oppo-
nent being wild at times. Merrill, on the
other hand was cool throughout. and but
for his bad throw In the latter part OF the
game would have Jared better, only six hits
being registered against his delivery. Mack,
Turner. Schneider and Birch did well, both
at the bat and in the field
Trinity scored first, Moore getting pass

third and scoring on Birch's, hit in the
right garden. In the third singles by Har-
ris and Moore and an error by Mack net
ted two more, which ended the scoring for
the boys from across the creek.
A base balls by Spaulding and Tur-
ner's triple gave the St. Vincents one in the
second and in the sixth, after Schneider
ballooned to Monahan in right, Johnson sim
gled and Carrick doubled, Johnson counting
on the last named hit. Carrick scored on
an out Carr's error in center gave
Schneider a life in the eighth. and he
scored when Carrick attempted to sacrifice

ORDINANCE
PARTIALLY VALID

The ordinance prohibiting mouth
spraying was sustained by the Supreme
Court this morning, but it received a.
vital blow in the decision, for the court
holds that the punishment clause is in
valid in so far as it provides punish
ment for those who do not pay their
fines. The other contentious of the de-
fendant brought forward against the
ordinance are all overruled. The deci-
sion is in the case of All Choy and All
Nam, who were fined IS each for vio-
lating the ordinance. The decision, by
Justice Hartwell, says:
'7The defendants submit that if the
ordinance We're a sincere attempt to
guard the public health and not CO.
vert blow at Chinese laundrymen or
based on merely sentimental and frivo-
lous considerations its operation would
have been confined to the actual dan
ger of clothes spraying from the
mouths of diseased persons and would
prohibit every kind of laundering and
the handling of laundry things by dis
eased persons. No one, the argument
continues, has ever heard, and there is
