BRECKENRIDGE 4
A Fairly Good Game Played at Is.
land Park Last Sunday
Afternoon.

The first game of series of
three, between the two clubs
was pulled off at Island Park
last Sunday afternoon with the
above result. Ben Schneider did
the umpiring and was very
satisfactory all the way
through. The crowd, which
by the way, was not as large as
it should have been, was very
peaceable and we have not
heard of any great dissatisfac.
ton over the outcome of the
game. 1t was very evident
after the first two innings that
the local team had the best
lineup and the "fans" of both
cities could see nothing else
but a victory for the home
team. Finnighan, an old Fargo
league pitcher. did the twirline
for this side of the Red and An.
derson at the receiving end
Shirley and Anderson formed
the battery for our sister city
for the first five innings. when
Oscar Anderson, Brecken-
ridges old reliable, was put in
to try and save the game-but
too late.
To go into details of this
game by innings is hardly
necessary and lack of space
forbids, but there were a
number of good plays and sew
eral bum ones. The local
pitcher had the best of this
game, two safe hits were all
Breckenridge could get off
him. He is a good hitter and
a dandy man for team work
and we are very fortunate in
having his services. The high
school lads must not be over
looked as both played their
position well and their batting
average was better than most
of them.
Next Sunday afternoon,
weather permitting, the second
game will be played at the
same time and place. A better
game can be looked for as a
few changes will be made in
our line up and we understand
the same condition exist
across the river.
Now turn out all you loyal
boosters and boost. We have
started the National game the
way it should be played here,

Rio Janiero. January 16.-The visit
ing American officers were entertain
cd at breakfast at the residence Of
President .Penna, at Petropois, yester-
day at noon and in the afternoon a
garden party at the American embas-
sy In the same suburb was given 70
them Rear Admirals Thomas, 3perry
and Emory represented the feet at
the presidential function. They set
out for Petropois early In the morn
ing.
The newspapers all comment favor
ably upon the good behavior Of the
sailors who have had shore liberty.
The men all had good time and per-
feet order was maintained. Not less
than 1000 men visited the city during
the course OF the DAY and evening.
II Is calculated that between the
buying OF supplies for the ships and
the money spent on shore by officers
and sailors not less than quarter OF
a million dollars will have been LETT
behind in Rio by the time the vessels
sail on their way south on January a.
These prospects are naturally very
pleasing to the tradesmen OF Rio
Janiero, who wish the feet was going
to stay longer.

dents of the city have united for an

Building Committee Does Not
Award the Contract.
ALL THE BIDS ARE 100 HIGH
Architect and Lowest Bidder in Con-
suItation-EHort to Bring Build.
ing Within $4,000 Limit,

1t was generally expected that the
contract for the erection of the new
Y. NJ c. A. building would be award
ed at the meeting of the building com
mittee Wednesday evening. but this
was not done.
The building committees met in the
board OF trade room at 100 p, M,
Chairman l.. H. Thompson presiding,
and opened bids from seven contrac-
tors or firms for the erection OF said
building. Architect G. L. Harding, of
Washington, was present at the meet
ing. The bidders were as follows:
S. A. Westenhaver. Martlnsburg.
Henry s. Ripple, Baltimore.
William A. Cornwall, Cumberland.
Mclaughlin Bros. Baltimore.
A. f. Witherow, Charleston.
Glaze & Bro. Winchester.
w. H. Frankenberry, Martinsburg
AS the bids we're all above the
$4,000 limit for the building alone,
the committee did not let the contract.
The lowest bidder, however, was only
couple thousand dollars above the
maximum. and today the architect and
this contractor went over the plans
and specifications to see II some
changes might not be made that would
enable said contractor to come within
the $4,000 limit, but still not in any
way change the style Of architecture,
size. utility, interior arrangement or
beauty of the building itself. To ac-
complsh this it is suggested that less
iron or structural steel might be used,
effecting considerable saving Of
money to the contractor.
The building committee will meet
Friday evening at IT'S O'Clock and
make a report to the directors Of the
association who will meet at s o.
cock the same night in the firemen's
hall. 1t is quite likely that the con-
tract will be awarded and announced
at that time.
