 That the Treadweu base ball team officially known as the Never Wuz- gers, won out in the match game with the Douglas city fathers on Sunday afternoon can only be explained by the paralyztng effect of some of the Treadwell uniforms. The Fathers, or to speak more correctly, the Has Beens, though noticeably superior to their playing, seemed to weaken each time a pair of zebra.striped limbs flashed past in the startled air, or at every eight of the aweinspiring Dia- mond T perched jauntily iu the middle of an athletic back or arti5tically draped just below the left floating rio of another brawney champion. The score, therefore, at the end of the fifth aud last inning stood to 3 in favor of the invaders.

 The hose races on Saturday evening drew an immense crowd of spectators, which the tourists from the Seattle still further increased. The fact that the amount ofmoney up on the races ran we'll iuto the thousands made the interest very intense. Three runs were made by each team, at the end of which time things were declared a stand off. neither of the cOutestiDg teams having been successful in mak- ing two runs out of three within the specified time-24 seconds. The time limit was then removed and each team made a final run which gave the vic- tory to the machine shop team, who succeeded in getting water in 29 2-5 seconds, against 37 seconds for th e Mexican team. The darkness during the last few runs handicapped the teams somewhat in making cOnnec- tions at the hydrant. Some of the runs wore made in record time, the machine shop team making their first run in p seconds, but failed to get the nozzle in place. The Mexican team made their first run successfully in .222-5 seconds. The line up was as follows: Machine shop--E. Me- Cormick, Coggins, Dubelle, Price, Uren, Andrew, Oliver, Page, Hall, Wayland, R.
