gusts conservative Filipinos and the gov

and very strong indication Of the indis-
erection OF the masses and Of their ina
bility TO undertake. the duties Of self
government. Vineente Lukban, whom
Gomez defeated, has filed i protest which
he win present to the assembly when it
meets.
The provincial returns, which are com
ing II slowly, increase the Nationalist
majority.
Lukbans appeal is on the ground that
inspectors unjustlg rejected ballots cast
for him. lie charges that Gomez and
his henchmen were electioneering inside
prohibited areas during the voting, and
also that Gomez has not acquired Phil
ippine citizenship and is not entitled to
| hold Office. lie requests a recount. The
law does not permit the existing au-
thorities to consider such q protest,
Hence, il will be presented to the as
senbly when Gomez attempts to take his
seat.

Fast Game
BY THE SCORE OF TO 5 TOP
Two Errors Were Counted for Each
Team and the Playing Throughout
Was Interesting to
See.

At the Berlin street grounds yesteFe
day afternoon the Italian base ball club
defeated the Williamstown team by a
score Of Q to 2, an close and interest
ing game. Both teams played good ball,
two errors being counted against each.
In spite Of the fact that the Williams.
town boys missed their pitcher, for Be
mis- il laid up with an injured foot, they
kept the Italians as we'll as the crowd
guessing.
The absence Of Bemis was supplied
by Shepard who, in the FIVE innings III
which he pitched, allowed five hits ami
two passes; and being in the sixth re-
placed by Mayo Lynde. who gave four
hits and famed three. Gabeloni for
the Italians pitched good bah, allowing
only six hits, passing two and striking
out three.
The Italians started Off with run
iii the frat, which WiIIiamstown gave
them in the shape 81 pass, and sacri-
fire which scored Nicora. Willamstown
balanced affairs in the second. Neil
Godfrey doubled, stole third and scored
on Lyndc's out.
In the fourth, Gabelloni got first on
an error, was sacrificed to second and
scored on Cella's two-bagger. Colon
DO singled, scoring Celia. but was caught
at third on Rossi's swift grounder. Mar.
iani went ont to shortstop.
Williamstown's efforts brought only
one tally in the seventh Neil Godfrey
got first on B. Variants error, stole
second and scored ON Spencer's single
No more scoring followed and the game
ended 3 to 2.
In the fifth inning a pretty double
play was executed when, after r. God
