CLOSE WINNER

SCHOOL IN BASEBALL

First Game of Series for
County Champion
ship

The Polytechnic high school baseball
team defeated the Los Angeles high
school boys yesterday afternoon by the
score of / to In the fastest game be-
tween prep schools seen at Chutes park
this season. A good crowd of fans
turned out from both schools and be-
tween the two the respective teams did
not lack encouragement, IL roofing and
hallooing counts for anything in that
line. Lafferty was put in to do slab
work for Polytechnic, while Beamer
played that position for Los Angeles.
Zach put up an excellent game, Laf-
ferty only allowing two hits, while the
Polytechnic boys managed to touch
Beamer for Ave.
Neither team gained the slightest
advantage until the fourth inning, when
Beamer of Los Angeles managed to
reach first. He took second and third
on errors and made a try at stealing
home when a pitched ball was muffed
by Melone. 1t was Lafferty's fielding
only that saved the day for Poly. as he
ran in and received the throw from
Melone, catching Beamer fully two feet
off the plate.
In the seventh Poly punched three
hits and filled the bases, and prospects
began to look blue for Los Angeles, but
Beamer came to the rescue and saved
the day, the next men going down In
one-two-three order.
Up to the last half of the eighth the
score board showed nothing but goose
eggs, and the prospects looked exceed
ingly good for an extra inning game.
In this inning the Polytechnic boys
broke the charm, however, and scored
the first and winning run OF the game.
Bibo started things by getting a hit
through Wingett, Los Angeles second
baseman, which was good for one base.
Price sacrificed and Bibo went to- sec
ond. Beamer of Los Angeles made an
effort to catch Bibo mapping at second.
The ball went wild and flew fully two
feet over the second baseman's head
and out toward the center fielder. who
became excited and had to pick the
ball up two or three times before he
had 1t. Bibo circled third and
the crowd went wild as he dashed
over the plate, scoring the winning
rum The Los Angeles boys played ball
to the end but they were easy money
for Lafferty In the ninth and the game
ended In a shutout for Los Angeles
This gives Polytechnic good lead, as
the Los Angeles team will have to take
the next two games of the series to
win the county championship. Score:

Caldwell was the witness in the famous Druce- Duke of Portland case who testified that he knew Druce as the Duke of Port land. His counsel. W. c. Cobell, informed Commissioner Alexander today that his client was committed to an asylum by or der of a justice of the New York supreme court. Tine commissioner and counsel for the British government said that they were not informed that Caldwell was to be placed in an asylum, and that Cald- wells previous failure to appear before the commissioner to answer the charge of perjury was due to disability only Mr. Cobell said he consulted Judge Hough of the United States district court before committing Caldwell, and that he was not at first aware that Caldwell was insane
 "Did you not come to me and ask abcat the federal procedure for committing an insane per ,on before Caldwell landed in this country?'' asked the commissioner. You must have mad this matter in view before he landed Never again will man arraigned before me for extradition be admitted to baii
 Counsel for the British government was asked what acton his client would take to gee possession of Caldwell, but replied that he would need an adjournment of two weeks to ascertain the wishes of Great Britain.

CHEERFUL NEWS IN
 THE IRON TRADE
Demand For Pig Iron Increases
 Across the Atlantic
PLANTS ASSUMING WORK
Improvement In the Iron and Steel Business Is Gradual, But Is Well Maintained and Others Are
 Coming In Slowly

Cleveland, O., February 19.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The most cheerful news this week comes from across the Atlantic. Our Birming ham, Eng, correspondent reports an in- creased demand for pig iron, and the placing of large orders for some in- ished products.
 In the United States there has been little change in conditions. United States Steel corporation activities are now in excess of 50 per cent of normal. Slightly more than half of it's available furnace output is now operating, and in finished lines the percentage is somewhat larger The improvement, though extremely grad ual, is being well maintained Some in- dependent interests, especially fin eastern territory have increased their production, but in the Pittsburg district the percent age of mills in operation is less than it was last week, the decrease being due partly to the flood
 In pig iron the most interesting event has been the radical departure in the method of passing prices in territory in the central west, where the time-honored GUS
 
 passing point, has been abandoned, and prices are now based at the principal iron mandfa curing cities, the cities be- ing ST at the furnace plus the switch ing charges for local delivery, for No. 9 foundry, and $17 for shipment outside of the cities. where the iron Is manu- factured. In making outside sales to competitive points, furnaces are allowed to absorb freight charges. Nearly all of the furnace interests are acting in accordance with this plan. Southern iron prices seems to be somewhat firmer, and the larger producers are adhering to SIS 50. Very little iron is obtainable at $12.50 Birmingham.
 Sales of structural material by the prin- cipal producers amount to about 16ON tons for the past week, and other inter- ests fair tonnage. Fabrioatlng concerns are naming some low prices Orders for cast iron pipe in eastern territory amount to a considerable tonnage.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature. but few req lize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better it is not drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and lm- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural ana eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs tine injurious gases which collect in the stomach and Dowels it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges they are composed of the finest powdered wil- low charcoal, and other harmless anti septies in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it Is that TO possible harm can result from their continued use, but, oil the contrary, great benefit
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: II ad- wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomacn and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat I also believe the liver Is greatly ben efited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.'

Ore Bins Nearino Completion.


 The immense steel ore bins at the blast furnaces of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, that are being erected by the Pittsburg Construction company. are rapidly nearing completion. The bins when completed will be far more com modious and convenient than the old wooden bins they replaced. The method of handling coke at the blast furnaces has materially changed from that of few years ago, when the coke was forked from the cars. Under the new plan the coke is taken directly from the ovens into the bins by means of a skip hoist. not only saving labor but tending to prevent the coke from being broken up.
 The enormous steel shed that covers the stock house is well under way. It is also being constructed by the Pittsburg com pany.
