First Square to Be Considered.
The commission decided to take up nrst
square go. bounded by B. c. l4th and
10Th streets. and work its way toward
Pennsylvania avenue. leaving until the
last the triangular square In which are
located Chase's Theater. the Hotel Re
gent. Grand Army Hall and other large
improvements. The owners Of property
at the corner Of 18th and streets north
west offered testimony relative to the
value OF the improvements only on that
property and the adjoining property on y
street. The testimony as to the value OF
this ground will probably be given to-
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. to which
time the commission adjourned yesterday
shortly after o'clock. The properties
are occupied by w. B. Moses & Sons
Company for a shop. and the 18th street
front by Haggertys saloon. One OF the
witnesses testified that the three build
ings are worth $84.57b. A lengthy cross
examination by the governments coun-
sci failed to change the opinion OF the
Witness
A discussion arose. after two witnesses
for the owners had testified. a. to the
method Of procedure. and an adjourn
ment was taken until Wednesday. 1t
is expected Justice Anderson will be asked
to definitely determine whether each
parcel shall be drst disposed OF. or each
square, or whether the government may
walt until all the property owners have
been heard before introducing Its testi-
mony as to the value Of the property.

The national commission has ruled
against Pitcher Bill Malarkey, who was
released by McGraw late last season.
Malarkey was sent to Buffalo, and asked
for the difference between what he re-
ceived in Buffalo and what he would have
received had he finished with the Giants.
Although his New York contract was as
sumed by the Buffalo club, Malarkey lost
about $50 because the Eastern League
season closed two or three weeks before
that of the National League.

TROOP F TRIMS
THE ENGINEERS

The basket ball team Of Troop F. Fort
Myer, and the Engineer quint met last
night In the second game Of the season In
the Military League. the contest result
ing In a victory for the former by the
score Of % to II.
The Engineers were greatly handicapped.
as 1t was their first game this season.
Their work last night Is regarded as an
indication of q hrst-class team before the
season is concluded. Troop was given
the battle OF its career In the first halt,
as at the end Of the half they led by
only three points. The second half was
very disappointing to the followers Of the
Engineer Quint. as the boys simply went
to pieces and were outclassed at every
stage. They seemed TO be tired and
played out.
Fergus easily took the honors Of the
game by his fast, aggressive playing.
During the forty minutes Of play he shot
six goals from the field and put the ball
In the basket on five different occasions
from free tosses. Harderode, Malinker
and Hetrick played best for the losers.

Roller Skating Races.
There was a large crowd on hand last
evening at the Hippodrome rink to wit
ness the qualifying OF the races to be
run Wednesday night. Rodney Peter OF
st. Louis captured the first heat and
Jack Woodward Of this city won the
second heat. Both Of these boys were
in excellent condition and took their re-
spective events in fast time. A novice
race brought out large field Of anna
teurs who furnished amusement for the
audience. The second series was well
filled, in which event Messrs Moore and
Sprinkle qualified, putting up an excellent
contest against the lads from other
cities.
Jack Woodward, Rodney Peter. Joe
Benson and Terrell Peter will be out for
the prizes. and by the showing made last
night with the track in excellent condi-
ton a new record for the distance will
be established. Several entries
from other cities will arrive later in the
week.
