CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE NOTES.

With three teams fighting it out for first
place and with the third team in the stand
ing but one game behind the leader, one
can imagine the great interest felt in all
the games which these teams will play
The first OF last week the Aloysius club
topped the list with st. Stephens in third
place; now 1t Is just the reverse. This
week the games should be more exciting
for the fact that the three contenders will
be hitched up as opponents In a couple of
games. q,
1t Is remafka BILE how many people attend
the games played in this league. The
crowds which are present at the poorest
games, were they to charge admission
would put professional and amateur ball
on about an even footing.
The Columbia Athletic Club demonstrate
in its game with the Government Printing
Office Club the past week that 1t was
very much In the running. The club looks
good on paper, and If discipline reigns
among the payers and management it
should have no trouble in working its way
up to the leaders.

of the most beautiful catches of the sea-

captured the sphere off the bat Of Hoff-

but Lord captured the pellet on dead
run with his back to the bail. The play
was heartily cheered. He also smashed
the sphere for home run. the hit going
far beyond the crowd in left field.
Jimmie Curnane had an off day when
he was pitted against the Atlantics Fri

LABiES ARE NOT GOOD.
Pure Food Commission Viii Soon De
clare Them Useless,

Washington, ID. c., May 23.-Millions
of labels printed by manufacturers and
dealers in food commodities are render
ed practically worthless by a forthcom-
ing official decision relative to the fed
eral pure food law. 49,
Although warned several months ago
by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson that
the United States government would
not or could not guarantee the contents
of packages, Il multitude of dealers
have been going ahead labelling their
packages as being guaranteed under
new pure food laws" 1t is said at the
department that all these labels are
worthless, and that it would have been
better for the dealers to have left on
their old labels. But great many
manufacturers and dealers were perhaps
a little too Jealous in their desire to
conform to the new law as they under
stood it, and hence they erred on the
side of trying to do what was right.
Some, it is intimated, tried the use of
the label to boost their goods. Others
placed Uncle Sans label on because they
did not know that only registered
number of inspection is required. 1t is
given out at the pure food headquarters
that the government must not be eX
pected to inspect every package, and
that the state and local authorities have
perhaps as great responsibilities as the
federal government.
