Justice Barnard Hears Lawyers and
Then Reserves Decision.

Extended argument was made in
Criminal Court No. yesterday by At
torney Henry E. Davis, Campbell Car
rington. and Rudolph Behrend, on the
motion filed by them Thursday last
TO quash the indictment returned by
the grand jury. charging George l.
Goodacre with running a hand book"
Justice Barnard reserved his decision.
The attorneys representing Mr.. Good
acre contended the indictment was de-
feetive. chiefly because It did not ac-
curately describe any alleged offense,
snd because it gave different descrip-
tiOns Of the same alleged Offense In
one count, the attorneys contended
the defendant bet on the races, but IL
was not stated where the races were
held, while in another count 1t was set
forth they were in various parts of the
United States. They also contend that
one count of the indictment charged
an offense which limited the defense
to three perempt0ry challenges at trial.
and anothr charged an offense which
allowed ten peremptory challenges.

BUSINESS HOLDS RESERVES.
GaIIaudet Second Team Unable to
score On High schOOIers.

Business High School football team,
In its second game of the season, held
the strong Gallaudet reserves to a 0 to
0 score at Kendall Green yesterday aft
ernoon.
The contest was filed with spec
tacular plays. especially on the part
OF the reserves. Business excelled at
straight football. while the reserves
used trick passes and end runs for
most Of their gains.
HonOrs were about even in the first
half, the ball being in the center Of the
field most Of the time. but in the sec
ond period the reserves took a brace
and on two occasions carried the ball
to the High Sehooler's 10-yard lire,
only to be held for downs.
Business used the forward pass with
great success toward the end OF the
second half. and it was this more than
anything else that prevented the re-
serves from scoring.
Holway played a star game for the
reserves. and McFee and Parker did
the best work for the StenOgraphers.

Baltimore, Nd, Oct H-Fully 1900
baseball fans witnessed the opening game
Of the home week series to-day between
the Baltimore Orioles, Of the Eastern
League, and the Baltimore pennant win
ners of 1894. 1885. and 1886.
The present Orioles won, s to s. but if
Umpire Tim Hurst had called Hunter out
on strikes In the eighth inning of the
game there would be a different story TO
ten. az the pennant winners would have
won.
Many people Of excellent eyesight, in
tently watching the plate when Hotter
foated up the ball, thought 1t a strike,
but Tim was the only man with a think
coming 10 him, and he trotted Hunter of
for first base on a free pass.
Then the DeIuge.
1t was the turning point. for had Hun
ter struck out, the side would have been
retired when Dunn popped up Il fly for
Gleason. as Kelly had flied out to left
field.
After Hunter had walked came the del
uge. For seven innings Hoffer had
pitched In his Old wizard-lille way. and.
although handling apparently nothing but
a few wide-breaking curves, had the
younger lads fooled as long as his
strength held out But it was long dis
tance on a cold day. and Hoffer was all
in after the seventh inning
In spite Of the superb coaching of Catch

over the plate; indeed, he had such little
strength left that be could barely get
them up 20 the plate at all

Many Tracks Cosed.

The movement against racing is now
practically a national affair, and unless
heroic action is taken by the Jockey Club
to do away with the abuses practiced on
Eastern tracks, 1t seems as though il is a
question of only a short time before the
sport viii pass out of existence. so far
as this country is concerned.
In the District, as well as in several
States. vigorous crusades are being
waged against the hand bapks.'' but
as the law can hardly draw the line be-
tween a man who takes bet on the
street and one who makes a bet at a
regular stand, it would appear as though
Benning is in line for a hard legal battle
if betting is to continue in this vicinity.
