The East Side pitchers. Poole and Friedman, who formerly played with the Annex team were in fine form and held the Quaker sluggers down in great fashion Not a ball was hit to the outlield, which goes to show the effective pitching of both men. The Quakers scored their two runs of the game on an error by Poole and passed ball by Leach, while the East Sides secured their runs by punching their hits off Crecgan. The battery for the East Sides was Poole Friedman and Leach and for tho Quakers, Creegan and O'keefe Mir Fitzgerald umpred The contest was spirited throughout and the game was much enjoyed by the big crowd pres" ent. owing to the heavy downpour of Saturday the East Sides were unable to play the Guilfords on the grounds of the later, but will meet them al a future date, to be decided later by the managers of both teams.

Alderman Healy said yesterday that he hoped the committee would make it's report to the board or aldermen this evening, in the matter of a recreation pier al the foot of Blatchley avenue, Mir Healy believes that this work can be accomplished a cost of from s., coo to Sl0,000, The avenue Is 100 feet wide and the pier would not have to he built out more than 15 or 100 feet to afford room for hundreds of people to get breath of fresh air and plcasurable outing only short walk from their place of residence. The Qulnnipac park which is two blocks west of Blatchley avenue, is now re- sort for tho people. but it is not large enough and as the park commission has not been disposed to extend 1t to the harbor line by filling many acres of flats it has been thought best to ap- ply to the city for a recreation pier. The pier would be built out on spiIe foundation and q bulkhead would be required. The people of this section, especially those in the Eleventh and Twelfth wards, are hopeful that the aldermen will approve the project and that the board of finance may appro- priate the money the coming year to carry out the improvement

fair will be looked after. Supper

choose to do so If the proposed
cigar stores were to have been built
on that order, and with that object in
view, then the authorities would have
objected to the completion of these
himsy excuses for evading the law.
Sheriff Brown has notified those who
proposed building the cigar stores
that when the stands contained doors
by which easy access to the saloons
could be maintained, that on Sunday
a paddock was to be placed on these
doors and securely locked.
When Mr.. Griffith was asked rel
ative to the statement alleged to have
been made by him concerning the
closing of cigar stores he had nothing
to say except that the statement in the
Spokesman-Review, wherein it is
alleged that his actions were the re-
suit of the urgent requests of ministers
of Grangeville that he take action in
this matter is absolutely false, and that
no minister of the gospel in Grange
vile, nor church, nor any other in
huence, dictated his policy in this
matter. He says it is simply an effort
on the part of the county officers to
see that the Sunday closing law is not
openly and brazenly violated.

Say That Man Who Wants Surveyor
Generals Office Is Not Citizen.

Under date of January 18th, a dis
patch from Boise says:
d. A. Utter, who is said to be
lately named as surveyor general for
this state to succeed Ernest G. Eagle
son, is civil engineer who has long
been located at Weiser. He is chair
man of the Republican committee of
Washington county. Last year he
moved, as was understood, to Coos
Bay, Oregon, and it was not generally
known he was still citizen of Idaho
until his name came up for this posi-
ton. 1t appears protest has been
made against him on the ground that
he has lost his citizenship here, and
the senators are looking it up. Presi-
dent Roosevelt made it a condition
that the new man should be an engineer
and this materially cut down the list
of available men.

friends, whom The Globe joins in
wishing them a matrimonial journey
replete with happiness and prosperity.

6herf w. G. Brown Issues Order That Card Playing in
Cigar Stores on Sunday Shall Cease
NIGHT HAVE VIOLATED SUNDAY CLOSING LAW
County Attorney E. NJ Griffith Makes Statement Denying
Recent Press Reports

Another phase of the Sunday clos
inc law was introduced in Grange
vile last week when, on Saturday,
Sheriff w. @. Brown issued orders
~ all proprietors of cigar stores that
card playing on Sundays would not
be permitted in establishments of that
lind in the future. The issuance of
the order followed conference be-
tween Sheriff Brown and County At
forney Griffith regarding the establish
ment of cigar stores by several saloon
men of the city. Recently, since the
different features of the much dis
cussed Sunday closing law have been
carefully studied out, few proprietors
of saloons have made arrangements
70 conduct cigar stores in the same
buildings in which the saloons are 10
cated. 1t is supposed that card play
ing was to be the chief attraction at
these places.
The authorities wish it known that
they are not complaining of the
establishment of these cigar stores.
They are complaining against the
creation of places where men may
gather on Sundays and obtain easy ac-
cess to the saloons if they should

He Meets With Serious Accident While
Hauling Wood.

Charley Moore, who has been
hauling wood from the mountain south
of town to the city all winter, was
severely hurt last Wednesday as he
was coming down the hill with load
of wood. MIR. Moore placed the
ends of two large logs on single bob,
as is the custom with woodhaulers
when sleighing is good, and was
bringing the logs down to the bottom
of the grade. Near the old Bledsoe
cabin he attempted to reach better
roadbed short distance up the side
of the mountain. In guiding his
horses up the grade the sled overturned
and Mr.. Moore was thrown violently
down the hillside. He had been
sitting in position facing the hill and
when the accident occurred he was
unable to see just what to do. The
large logs refused to roll and the sled
did not turn completely over, or Mr..
Moore would probably have been
fatally crushed by the huge timbers.
AS it was he was hurled down the
hill and his back seriously hurt by the
fall. He says that he landed in a
small ditch and that his back struck a
bit of raised, frozen ground. He was
unable to rise and was compelled to
lie in the snow until parties came
down the hill few hours later. He
was brought to his home in the north
west part of the city where he is
resting easily at present He may
not be able to take up the heavy work
again for several days, however.
