COLLEGE GAMES.
Holy Cross Made Grand Finish and .a.e# Won Out.

Worcester, May 2O.-Tufts gave Holy Cross good battle here yester- day, but was beaten out in the final innings, 3 to 1. Hall, freshman, pitched for the Medford collegians and did yeoman's work, flaming l2 of the Purple hitters, and pitching d good game throughout. Dowd was even more effective, and with men on bases was almost unhitable. But six hits were made off his delivery and two of these were scratches. Neither team scored until the fifth, when with two down Dickinson of Tufts dropped a single into right center and scored on Goggin's double in the same direction.
 Holy Cross came right back in the sixth, when Larkin lined one for three bases ovef Priests head in left and scored a moment later when Hall tried to field Mansfields sharp bounder. Two more were added in Holy Cross's half of the seventh, when with two down, Cashen singled over second, and came home when Dustin made a wild heave over first of Barry's grounder. Barry took second on the throw, and scored when Carney, after flaming three times left handed, turned around right and cracked out @ double.
 Hugh McBreen, treasurer of the Boston Americans, was at the game, in company with Rev John J. Haskins of Boston. Early in the af- ternoon McBreen had conference with Captain Barry of the Holy Cross team, but nothing definite was done. The score: R.HE. Holy Cross OOO001 "-3 8 1 Tufts ..... 0000 01000 0-1 6 4

wYMORE TO e GOOD WATER
Special Meeting of City Council Con-
Hiders Proposition.

WYMORE, Neb., Sept. ~O.-(Special.) -At
a special meeting Of the city council last
night the Markle-Huston company made a
proposition. which. II proved to be prac-
teal. will result in a supply OF good water
for Wymore. The company owns a big
sand pit east of the Blue river. Fifteen or
twenty years ago an expert hired by the
city located good water there, but his sug-
g~estions were never acted on. The Markle-
Huston company has been experimenting
and believes there is an inexhaustible sup
ply Of water there. The water Is the finest
that can be obtained in this part of the
country. The theory Is that the Big Blue
river has an underground flow running
through the vein OF sand and gravel, which
in It's passage is filtered. The Markle-Hus-
ton company proposes to sell the water to
the city for 8 cents per thousand gallons
as a maximum price, or to buy the water
plant and furnish the city fire protection
and sell water to consumers. The intake
pipe OF the plant is but about 800 yards
from the sand pit. The city owns a park
on the east side of the river, the land ad-
joining the company's land and going to
within 100 feet of the place where it was
proposed to sink a well, Years ago a test
we'll was sunk in the park, but was a fail
ure. 1t was too near the river, Now it is
proposed that the city build another test
well in the park near the sand pit, before
taking up the Markle-Huston proposition.
The city water fund Is not in good condl-
tion to make big Expenditures, and the
matter of investigating the proposal was
referred to the water committee.
