By JOE MANNING.

Hilitops ............ .3l Second Ward Star. 3; h e game Of baseball for the junior
 championship of the city, on the T A C.. grounds yesterday, the Second
 Ward Sta defeated the Hilltops in a
 highly interesting game that was characterized hy excellent pitching and sensational fielding.
 The Hilltops should have won, but lost the game by First Baseman Al
 Bowden's miss play. It was in the last inning, with the score 3l to 29 in the Hilltop's favor that Bowden, who is the proud possessor of a chest pro- tector, handed down to him by his big brother (snd he insists on wearing it in whatever position he plsys), that Mickey lobe tossed one over, to catch a runner mapping, when the ball dis appeared. The Star runners "hot- footed" it across the plate, and after Captain c. Kavsnagh got through shaking him the ball fell out from underneath his chest protector, to which place it had bounded. The were:
 F,r the Hilitops-M. lobe, pitcher c. Kavanagh, catcher.
 For the Stars-A. Brown, catcher; Pete Pistonetti. pitcher.
 Simpson at short for the Stars and Johnny Ashcroft at short for the Hill 1 ops. Both played great ball, only II | 'rrors apiece being charged against hem.

Napoleon Louis
 Again in Trouble

Napoleon Louis has again met his
 Waterloo. Napoleon has been an in. mate of the county jail for the past sixty days having been iucarcerated on misdemesnor charge, bat the jr. d'cial reprimand does not appear to have improved Napoleon's morals, for he had no sooner been liberated than he proceeded to do business in sub. stantiation of his past record. His first stunt was to purloin four dozen eggs from the residence of w. P. Miller, on Fremont street. The eggs were recovered, and when Napoleon "as taken before Judge Daniel Me- Farland today, the soft hearted court assessed the culprit $50 or fifty days, and Napoleon was escorted back to the county jail.
