We have watched with much inter est the progress of the Oklahoma con- stitutioual Convention, and have been rather amused at the way Indian Ter ritory. largely represented in the con ventiou by Indians Of whole or mixed blood. took charge of the affair and ran 1t to their own liking. Speaking of this feature of the performance, The Richmond Journal says:
 The white delegates were of the usual stamp. The Indian delegates were spiek and span young men. most of them lately. home from college. They wore tailor made clothes and genius for planning fhings. As a re- sult, almost before he knew anything WAS going on, the rural delegates found himself side-tracked, while To gravsly plotted county lines giving himself all the advantage in represent tation, made the whole State prohibition, and Generally helped himself to offices and Derquisities.

Suggestion as to John Brown.

The watchfal Advertiser, which never in Kansas and never finds anything there in public or private life to com- mend, bends a little in the John Brown ture with the evidence of returning sanity in turning down the proposi- ton of some of It's wild. hatr-brained negro enthusiasts to place the formers statute in the Hall of Fame at Wash ington. It might be well to suggest in passing on the matter that if the Hall of Fame could be arranged with would be very appropriate to place a statute of an apple tree, with John Brown hanging to limb of It, In that apartment.

IN THE FAMOUS SOUTHERN AEER-
GER CASE.

Judge Klugh Decides That Attorney
0enesal's Arguments We're Wen
4 Grounded and Dismisses Case.
Columbia. Dec. 11.-After hear,ns
the concluding arguments for and
asainst the motion made by the attor-
'nsy general for . non-suit in the
Southern merger case, Judge Klugh
yesterday In the circuit court ordered
that the motion for Dismissal should
Do granted. The motion Of Mr.. Lyon
was granted by the court upon the
general grounds that the complaint in
the suit might be withdrawn by the
plaintiffs on q legal right since the
case did not come under any Of the
exceptions under which the plaintiffs
would be forced to 60 to trial at the
discretion Of the presiding Judge.
The arguments for and against the
motion for a non-suit were begun
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock and be-
fore the hour for adjournment all the
attorneys for the defendant had been
heard from except Mr.. B. L. Abney.
For the state OF South Carolina Mr..
q. Duncan Bellinger was yet to speak,
those who had been heard from being
Maj. A. T. smythe. Col George John
stone and Col. D. 8. Henderson. for
the defendant company. and Attorney
General Lyon had briefly stated his
reason for asking that q motion for a
non-suit be granted.
Naturally the question now presents
itself as to the position Of the parties
to the suit as result and following
the granting Of the motion OF the at
torney general. According to the rul-
Ing OF the court of the State Of South
Carolina can now bring another suit
against the Southern and the opinion
was expressed by the court that un-
der the terms Of the act of 1904 1t
would be the duty Of the attorney
general to bring the suit.
The new case will practically
amount to change Of the complaint
made necessary by the securing of
additional evidence by the State
through Its attorneys. This was one
Of the reasons of the attorney general
for non-suit In the case as he was
not In possession OF all the facts that
he hoped to obtain by the time the re-
vised case Is brought for trial.

DOYLE WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
has HELD THE TITLE FOR THE
PAST FIVE YEARS.
Climax in the District Tennis Tour
nament on the Bachelors
Club Courts.

Conrad B. Doyle. District tennis cham
pion, yesterday successfully defended his
title against Franklin Geoghegan, by defeat
ing him three out Of four matches, the
scores being 2-6. 81, 81. 81.
The contests took place at the close of
the doubles in the District championship
tournament, and were witnessed by one Of
the largest crowds that has ever been
present on the Bachelors courts.
By winning the match yesterday Mr..
Doyle has secured second hold on the
championship cup. He has won the Dis
trict championship for the last five years.
He defeated John Davidson five years ago,
and defended it the next year against Mr..
Parks. and the last three years against
Mr. Geoghegan. Mr.. Doyle won one cup.
and it is expected he win win another. If
he plays next season in the form displayed
this year.
In yesterdays match Doyle lost the first
game, as he was little Off form. but in
the last three sets he played an unusually
strong game. and wound up by playing the
best game that he has ever put up. In the
second set he won five straight games be-
fore Geoghegan secured one, and the latter
got only a game in each Of the two remain
ing sets. Geoghe gan did well in the short
play, but his serving was not strong.
Doyle'S overhead work was remarkable.
Prior to the championship match the dou-
bles in the tournament were played. in
which Doyle and Doyle won from Geoghe-
gan and Deis by score Of 81, 81 and 6-3.
The Doyle brothers easily won the first set.
but the second was closer and the losing
team made the winners hustle to win out.
In the last set the winners came strong
and pulled off the victory. Geoghegan did
considerable lot,bing. which proved his
undoing, Connie" Doyle succeeded in
making points on the play. Deis was de-
cidedlJ off his game due to his having
been in Europe all summer and not having
had the opportunity to practice.
What promises to be an interesting match
will take place next Saturday either on The
Bachelors or Chevy Chase Club courts, to
be decided later. This match Is between
Connie" Doyle of this city and F. E. Col
sTon of Baltimore. Last Saturday ten of
The lest players of Washington went over
to Baltimore and defeated the ten best men
of that city on the courts of the Baltimore
Country Club by score of @ to 4, and
urn ma tch is to be played here. In last
weeks contest Doyle played a fine game,
bat lost out. He will meet Mr.. Colston
heca, and as the Baltimore player ranks
in the first ten of the country it wifi be
qlie feather in the local mans cap If
Re succeeds in winning the contest.

Games Won by Each Pitcher.
THE CONTESTS ON
THE OLD MILL LOT

a. am very much Interested in your re-
hash of old base ball games of the long
ago. and l read the stories published with
considerable interest said frequenter OF
a sporttng resort to a Star reporter recent
y-"but you might go little further and
speak Of the contests the old Mill Lot.
Now the Mill Lot was the camping
ground of the boys of Northeast Washing
ton especially the teams of classical
Swampoodle, and was situated at the cor
ner of New York avenue and ID street
northeast, in fact back in the olden days 1t
was to the residents of that section what
the White Lot was to the other part of the
town.
They had several clubs out there that
could play ball equal to any of the junior
teams of the city. Two of them especially
the Rangers and Hibernians, were cracker
jacks in every department of the game, but
unfortunately the mention of Mill Lot was
like shaking a red flag in the face of an
infuriated bull for none of the downtown
clubs would go out TO play on account of
the toughs that gathered there.
In those days it used to be the custom
to toss up swing the bat for the choice
of innings, as all teams wanted the right
to the last turn at the bat. and have seen
more scraps and wrangles over this one
the naming of an umpire. The swinging of
the bat was a peculiar way of determining
who should have the choice The captain
of one team came up with a bat and asked
Are you ready to swing for the inning and
being answered in the affirmative the bat

Batting.

was tossed to him and he was expected to
catch 1t near the top in order to keep his
adversary from having last grip From
where he grabbed 1t his opponent had to
place his hand around the bat above his,
and this was done by each alternately until
the top was reached, the last hand covering
1t being entitled to the choice of innings
In case a small margin was left over and
the last man could get only a small grin
on the end he was compelled to swing the
bat three times around his head before he
was allowed the privilege of choosing. Fail
Ing to do so, the right went to his on
ponent.
I'm the history of the Mill Lot there is
not record of a downtown club ever go
ing away with a victory, that is they never
carried off a trophy, as the BOYS of that
old lot wouldn't stand for a defeat Fair
play was a back number on that yellow
mud pile, and many a loud-mouthed PLAYER
from beyond the boundary line, 9th street
northwest, who was bold enough to de-
nounce the toughs paid dearly for his talk.
as he was generously rolled into the little
stream that crossed the place, and then
sent home in a dilapidated condition.
But there was one exception.
Il remember a game played out there
many years ago by one of the juniors called
the Patriots and the junior Creightons from
the second ward, a team of youngsters
who on the White Lot, could defeat any
in the city in square game, and who, too,
if it was required, could hold their own in
a good old-time rough and tumble scrap
The short-hared crop of Swampoodle were
agog over pulling off the game on the Mil
Lot as few of the older teams had the
courage to go out there to meet the clubs
who played on those grounds.
'On the day of the game there was an
immense crowd on hand. Every one was
Oh tptoes of expectation that a first-class
stone battle between the teams and the
crowd would take place. instead of a base
ball match. The Creightons were late in ar
