CALIFORNIA LEAGUE

The Edison ball team forfeited to the
Chutes team in the California summer
league yesterday afternoon on the
Chutes park ball diamond by the score
of to O. 1t was agreed between Man
ager c. w. Hahn of the Chutes team
and Acting Manager Gabe of the Edi-
son club that the game was to be
played out until the Labor day COM
mittee was ready to run off its relay
race. AS a result, the game only went
four innings, the score being l to 0 In
favor of the Chutes when the relay
races were run off by the Labor day
athletic committee. Lyman, pitcher,
and Catcher John Engle both left the
diamond while the races were on, and
after the relay was disposed of the Ed
ison team refused to continue with the
game, and Umpire Pat FitZw1lliams
forfeited the game to the Chutes. OF
the twelve batters that faced Thorsen
in the fuor innings he famed nine,
making a total of twenty-five men in
thirteen innings. Haight and Huckaby
were the only batters scoring hits off
Pitcher Lyman. Haight scored the
only run. It looks from the way Man

show the rest of the clubs in the league
a point or two in regard to the national
game.

noon and after the sun went down in

since the opening day, July 4. The
features were a double play in the
Hoegees camp, Gray to Goodman to
Wilkinson, and on the Athletic lineup
grand catch was made by Hensling
in left garden. Schmuck interfered
with Catcher Prayer at home plate and
caused a run which the Hoegees were
not entitled to. Umpire Fernandez re-
deemed himself from yesterdays game
at Chutes park and had his weather
eye open at all stages of the game. The
double umpire system was tried, break
ing in William Bogerman, formerly
bricklayer, who showed beyond a rea-
sonable doubt that he was just as ad
vanced in the rules of the national
game as in laying bricks. Manager
Bondie tried out William Prayer be-
hind the timber, and he proved salts
factory in all respects. Following is
the tabulated score:

The Prize Acre Contest.

We do not know of a recommendation
that we could make to the farmers
of York county, individually or as n
whole. that will likely prove of more
benefit to them and the county gener-
ally than that as many Of them as
possible get into the Farmers Union
Prize acre contest next year.
While. of course, the prizes them
selves will be a consideration to the
winners. they will be of small con-
sequence compared with the honor Of
leading in such contest as that Of
next year promises to be. But this is
not all. The benefits will extend to
every individual who succeeds in max
ing a better showing than he has ever
made before, and the value of a wide

ALTHOUGH there is a good deal of
news coming this way from Venezuela.
and there is no doubt about the fact
that they are having troublesome times
down in that country, it is a difficult
matter to arrive at satisfactory un-
derstanding as to exactly what it is all
about. 1t will be remembered that
President Castro gave the United
States to understand some time ago
that Venezuela could mind its own
business with regard to the asphalt
controversies, and it has looked very
much like this country has had to
back down from some pretty high po-
sitions. Indeed the Washington ad-
ministration has had to endure some
pretty severe snubs. OF course, the
United States would have very little
difficulty in licking Venezuela to sub
mission, but while the merits Of the
controversy have not come out fully,
there is at least very grave question
as to whether this country has had the
right end of it. And there seems to be
reason to believe that the operations
that are now being conducted by Hol-
land, are being conducted with the ap-
proval, if not at the instigation OF the
United States, under an arrangement
with France, Germany and Great Brit
ain, all of which have had more or
less serious differences with Venezuela
without getting a great deal Of salts
faction. AS To whether Castro is
good or bad man, we do not know.
Most of the dispatches have shown him
as a kind of a Theodore Roosevelt, or
worse; but some of the magazine ar
ticles have pictured him in the light
of a high minded patriot, and made 1t
appear that he is very much misunder-
stood and abused in this country. But
now in the light of what looks like the
beginning of the end, it is possible that
the truth may soon be forthcoming.

spread. united effort to the county gen.
orally is almost beyond advance esti-
nation.
There were about sixteen entries in
the Farmers Union prize contest of
this year: but quite a number of them
dropped out. They decided that they
could not win and they concluded that
ii was not worth while to report. This
was a matter of regret. Each and ev-
erv one of these contestants made
progress as compared with previous ef-
forts. and their reports would have
been of value. 1t is hoped, therefore,
that not only as many as may be able
to see their way clear will go into the
next contest; but all will resolve from
the beginning to stay to the end, let
the result be what it may, and not
forgetting that the lessons learned from
disappointment or failure are often as
valuable as those learned from success.
The county of York and the whole
Piedmont country has much to gain
from the highest development of corn
production, and no individual who
gives his attention to the matter has
anything to lose. We sincerely hope
therefore, that everybody will help.

Juror Russell admitted his relation to
Charles Russell, and was excused by
the court. over the protests of the de-
fense. When the next talesman was
announced and examined. the defense
attempted to challenge him perempto-
rily The state raised the point that
the defense. having used twenty-siX
peremptory challenges. had exhausted
its legal number and two more. Attor-
ney General Caldwell admitted that
each defendant was entitled to 24O
challenges, but said that when on a
joint trial the defense did not specify
on behalf of which defendant ii made
the challenge. it was presumed to have
made each challenge upon behalf of
each defendant. After long and bit

ed with the state, and ordered the case
to proceed. The work of selecting the
the jury then proceeded rapidly to a
conclusion. Just half of the jurors are

THAT is a pretty bad looking mess
they have raised about the Seminole
Securities company; but really we do
not see what is to be done. AS to
whether the stock Of the Seminole Sc
curities company is as good as the
agents have been representing, we
cannot say. The showing that has
gone out from Insurance Commissioner
McMaster who is as good as they make
them, is not calculated to increase con-
fidence in this investment; but even
that does not prove anything. This
stock Juggling business is an every day
occurrence. Even if these agents sold
for $50, stock that was worth only so,
it is not the first time such thing
has been done. On the contrary there
have been numerous cases where men
who have been stuck in this way have
succeeded in unloading on some other
fellow at a still better profit. We do
not want to be understood as approving
any of this kind Of thing; but we do
not see how it is to be remedied. Su-
perviSiOn of insurance companies is all
right, and it has been long time
since the general assembly has done
q better piece of work than in creating
the office of insurance commissioner,
and putting Mr.. McMaster in that Of
fee. But how it is going to be posi-
BILE to regulate purely private cOrpor-
atiOns. we are unable to see. There
are but few Of these corporations that
could prosper in the white light Of pub
licity. From the very nature Of the
case such a thing is absurd. 1t ought
to be otherwise. of course; but it cam
not be. Or. al least, We do not see how
it can be. If the people who invested
in Seminole are stuck, they are stuck,
and that is about all there is to it. We
are sorry for them. We would like to
see them get their money back if pOssi
BILE, and if they have been swindled,
We would like to see the people who did
the swindling punished. We are not
looking for anything of the kind, how
ever The law as to stock transactions
is the same as the law as to horse trad
