SOME NOTES TAKEN
OF THE GAME

The pitching of Diffin for the War
ripgtOn team was the features of the
first league game Sunday afternoon.
Fourteen strike-outs are credited to
him and only two hits were made off
his delivery. The loss of the game is
directly traceable TO errors made at
critical stages.
The seventh inning was replete
with sensational catches by EIlwOOd
and Evans. The soldiers had three
men on bases in their half and only
superb work on the part of Diffin re-
tired the side without a score He
was warmly applauded for his work
Another good player tor the War
ringtons was Restau who accepted
eight chances without an error and
got two hits.
There was one of the biggest
crowds of the season present at the
first game but only a handful were
left when the Orioles finished with
the Rounders. While the latter team
had been considerably strengthened
with good men, they played in a list
less manner and gave up early in the
game. Waters did not pitkch up to
the form he has shown in previous
game. Waters did not pitch up II
measure, no doubt, to the lack of sup
NE only bright feature Of the ORR
ole-RoUnder game was the catching
of FarriS for the Founders. He
played in a manner to indicate that
his best efforts were being made to
bring his teammates together and
every poor play was evidently dis
appointment to him.
The big crowd which went from the
city to see the games was treated to
plenty of excitement. In addition to
the accident to Lancaster, who is a
member of the marine team, and
which is told of elsewhere, an un-
known young man jumped from a car
coming back from the games and was
severely bruised. Just this side of
the navy yard one of the big cars
lost its trailer and several hundred
yards passed before the danger OF a
collision was averted.

FOR
SOLDIER BOYS
Baseball Game For Fifty Dollar Purse
To Be Played Saturday.

Not satisfied to rest under the de-
feat administered to them Sunday af-
ternoon Dy the members of the Seven
ty4Seventh company, the members OF
the Warrington baseball team have
issued a challenge to the soldier boys
to play them a game next Saturday
afternoon at Palmetto Beach for a
purse of $50, and the challenge has
been accepted
The boys of the navy yard assert
that their defeat Sunday was in a
large measure due to the roughness
of the diamond between second and
third bases, causing many errors, and
believe that on the smooth grounds
at Palmetto Beach, will be able to
turn the trick.
The game of Saturday will have no
connection with the standing of the
teams in the City League.

Flora1a, Ala, July pa great deal
of excitement was caused here yes

of J. T. Hall, between two negroes.
Munk Jenkins and Elsie Ford. The
fight, which occurred about 4 p. M,
resulted in Ford shooting Jenkins
just below the right eye. Ford made
his escape. The restaurant was

the shooting, and none of them made
any effort to detain him.
In a short while, Marshal P. w

ing at him, but was unable to stop
him 1t is not known whether Ford
was hit or not.
Jenkins is in desperate condition
and is expected to die. He was car

to house nearby, and doctor
probed for the ball, but was unable
to locate it.
After Ford got away, every effort
was made to capture him and a tele

to secure bloodhounds to track him
but the sheriff was unable to secure
any at that place, so the chase was
abandoned until later.

SPORTS FOR
THIS WEEK.
What Will Be Doing In The Sporting
World Out Of the Or
dinary.

To the amateur sporting world the
features of the coming week are the
championship aquatic events to be
contested Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday at the jamestown exposition.
At Wimbledon, England, the Aus
tralian and English teams will con-
clude their play for the Davis inter
national tennis cup. The Australians
probably will win the trophy. Rumor
is again busy with Sir Thomas LIP
tons ambition to lift the America
cup
1t seems almost certain that an
other challenge from the Royal Ulster
Yacht club to the New York Yacht
Club for series of races of Sandy
Hook will be forthcoming soon.
Horsemen. throughout the country
are watching with great interest the
controversy between the Jockey CT"
and the Empire City Trotting asseci-
alton, which has received license
to hold a meet on its track near
YOnkers and proposes to do so when
the runners of the metropolitan
tracks go to Saratoga next week. The
Jockey club thus far has failed to re-
ply TO two queries put to 1t by the
Empire officials as to what its stand
will be towards owners trainers, jock
eys and horses taking part in the
races. Should the Jockey club not
give its sanction TO these races, the
Empire City track and all persons
connected with it would become In
racing sense outlaws.
Wednesday will witness the closing
run of the Glidden tourists on their
journey from Cleveland to New York
via Chicago. After having rested
over Sunday at Bedford Springs, Pa,
the cars will make the run to Balt1-
more, from Baltimore to Philadelphia
and on Wednesday to New York The
trip thus far has been the severest
test to which American touring cars
have been put. 1t has, however, from
an educational standpoint, been re-
plete with incidents that cannot but
work good for the automobile world
and the sport of motoring

MEMBERS RECALL BILLS.
No Special Legislation or Private Claim
Bills Can Pass the Governor.

No special Legislation or Private Clair
Bills Can Pass the Governor.
ALBANY, Apri ! 2o-Gov. Hughes's plain
language in expressing his reasons for
vetoing bills is not reIished by the statesmen
in the two houses Of the State Legislature.
The Governor has made il plain that he does
not think the time Of the Legislature should
be taken up in passing bills increasing
salaries WHARF the local authorities have
ample power nor OF creating more patron
age for ofioeholders. Neither will he
stand for private claim bills. This week
he announced he was not going to revive
sleeping charters" OF street and steam
railroads where there was no evidence Of
sincerity in beginning operations.
As a result Of this Assemblymen have
been busy Of late handing to the clerk Of
the lower house resolutions recallin &
bills from the Governor. They have been
tipped on that they can either have their
bills recalled from the Governor or they
can have the pleasure of listening to the
clerk reading why the Governor will not
approve OF this sort OF legislation. In the
Assembly resolution providing for a
recall Of bills from the Governor is regarded
only as a matter OF form and only in ex-
oeptional cases are they ever read. This
has been taken advantage Of by at least a
dozen members Of the Assembly and more
are to follow.
To-day the Governor sent another veto
message to the Senate. He disapproved
of Senator Harte's escheat bill reetor-
ing to Cora Fehlong land that had
escheated TO the State. The Governor
gave the following reason for vetoing the
bill:
@The public lands law provides a method
by which petition may be made to the Com
miHsioners of the Land Office for the release
Of lands which have escheated to the State.
The Commissioners are authorized to exc
cute a conveyance to the petitioner upon
such terms and conditions as the Commits
sioners may deem just. II any improve
gested suitable amendment may be made.
But the method provided by the general
law should be reSorted to. and special legis-
lation in the interests Of particular claimants
should be DISCOURAGED"
