CITY BASEBALL LEAGUE,
Edwards Team Withdraws-Wedne
days Game Forfeited to Postais.

The patrons of the City Baseball
League suffered disappointment
yesterday afternoon in the withdra wal
of the Edwards team, the leaders, from
the league. The game for the after =.
noon was to have been between the
Edwards team and the Postals. but the
Edwards team did not appear, owing
to the fact that the players were not
able to get out of the mills for the
one hour from to 6 o'clock, and so
the game went to the POStals by for
felt with score of to O. The an
nouncement was made last evening
that the Edwards team had withdrawn
from the league.
This action on the part of the Ed
wards team will be regretted by all
who had followed up the games of the
league, but as far as the players We're
concerned it could not be avoided. The
team was good one and has played
good ball, as their standing in the
league testified. they having played
five games and won all of them Their
withdrawal from the league leaves the
Vickery- Gannett team at the head of
the list with a percentage of .667.
1t is possible that the vacancy in
the City Baseball League may be fill
ed by team from the Hallowell shoe
factory if the league managers will
agree to the proposition. The shoe
factory has a team already organized
among it's employees, that has been
playing during the season and the
team will have representative at the
meeting of the elague managers to be
held this evening. who will endeavor
to have the team admitted to the
league. There is a strong interest in
S o'clock ball and it is hoped that the
league may be kept going through the
summer season.

fury, and the case OF Hough vs..

crime OF canning salmon without
first having obtained a license, al
legged 70 have been committed in
Curry county on July IS 1907.
He appealed from the Judgment of
the county court, assigning as error
the action OF the court In oVerruling
a demurrer To the information, IN
terposed on the ground that the facts
stated therein did not constitute the
commission OF crime. The law In
the matter is as follows:
business OF canning salmon In her
metieally sealed tins is required TO
pay q licenJe fee, varying In amount
from 500 TO $500, depending up
on the number OF cases OF such nsh
which the Gamer packed during the
year preceding the season for which
a license is required"
Judge Moore -eided that the aet
OF Hume In canning tho salmon with
out having obtained a license was a
crime, and that no error was com-
mite In overTuling the demurrer.
