An Italian Ball Game.

PallOne is the king of al ball games.
requiring not merely great strength ana
alertness in the player, but offering
also such a succession of noble plastic
noses as may be seen in no other game,
Goethe, who saw his first match with
delight at Verona. in September, 11S6
wrote that such attitudes We're "worthy
Of being put into marble" Our more
enlightened archaology would probably
declare for the nober bronze, if the
punlits could be persuaded to follow
Goethe and occasionally exchange the
library for the pallone-court.
BE that as it may. the gist of the
game is almost as readily graSped a
its statues1ue beauty. Pallone is mere

which is the parent of tennis, racketS

forms as baseball is to FOUNDERS.

WRIGHT ARGUES WATER CASE
Says Water Company should Have
Opened It's Books 20 the
ADpraiHera.

The arguments in the water works case
are stlll on before Judge W. H. Munger In
the United States circuit court. Mr.. Web
ster resumed his argument Wednesday
morning and spoke for about an hour. c.
c. Wright began speaking at 1880 and oc-
cupied the entire forenoon in his argu-
ment. He took the ground that the board
Of appraisers was not a commission and
that the findings of the appraisers was not
necessarily final or irrevocable. The mat
ter OF the demand for the production Of the
books OF the water company before the
board OF appraisers was gone into at con-
siderable length.
''These books had been demanded early
in the appraisement," said Mr.. Wright
but they were not produced and there was
no evidence before the appraisers of the
going value of the property OF the water
company. The water company repeatedly
refused to produce the books, and the APP
praisers merely had TO appraise whatever
was shoved up to them. No record was
produced before the appraisers Of the going
value of the plant Corporations supplying
public utilities granted under public fran
chises have TO right to have books that
are not open 10 public inspection. The ex-
cuse that II the books were produced that
the city engineer. Mr.. Rosewater. would
see them, was the strongest reason why
those books should have been produced.
AS matter OF fact nobody can tell the
basis upon Which this award has been
made by the appraisers"
Mr.. Wright concluded his argument yes
terday afternoon and was followed by r.
S. Han, who closed the argument for the
water company.
