FANS WERE DIsGUsTED.

Holyoke, Sept S.-Exhibition games received black eye here yes terday afternoon, when Baltimore put patched-up combination in the field against Holyoke and then pro- ceeded to turn the brush into a regu- lar Squash Hollow burlesque, much to the intense disgust of a big crowd that had parted with its good coin to get glimpse of the Orioles in action and was therefore entitled to a decent display of base ball by. y.the Maryland men. After spending two third of the time toying with the locals the Eastern league leaders suddenly woke up and started to put on some speed. evidently thinking that one inning would be enough to win, but in this they were sadly disappointed, for the home help made hay while the Orioles were slumbering and they packed the game away, g to 5.
 Four of the Oriole regulars were missing from their usual places and the team was badly twisted out of shape. In the outfleld Pitchers Des- sau and McCloskey were used, while Sammy Strang, the old New York Ma tional utility player, was brought in to second base from the outer de- fense and Manager Jack Dunn was on third. Jack Knight, the school- boy sensation in the majors few seasons ago, who was at short, and First Baseman Pfyl and Catcher Byers were about the only ones ap- parently interested in the engage ment. O'Hara, McClossey and Strang were in the most joyful spirits, Strang making stump speeches to the bleacherites,. O'Hara indulging in a couple of butterfly hunts with bat and McCloskey keeping the right field fence from falling down. Boss Dunn let them take all the liberties they wished, either forgetting or not caring that he was defrauding the public by permitting such actions by his men.

Gus vein, touching on the marvellous
resources Of the Freewater country

FLOOD GATE.
FOR TAIL RACE
CITY WILL INSTALL
SAFETY APPLIANCE
Levee Committee Directed to Make
Improvement Since Byers VIII Not
New Fire Limit Raises Perplex-
ing Problems-Concrete Walks for
City Hall Block.

A substantial flood gate is to be
installed by the city at the end of the
Byers tail race and when 1t is in
place there will be no further danger
from back water from the race.
At the council meeting last night
the levee committee was empowered
to contract for a gate and to have the
same installed Previously bids for
the gate had been asked for and the
Pendleton iron works submitted a
bid. 1t was not presented to the
council last night as Councilman Ell,
who had the bill, did not attend But
as the necessity for action was urgent
the committee was given full power
to proceed with the work of having
the gate installed.
1t is estimated that 1t will cost the
city about s40O to provide the flood
gate and the cost of the improvement
caused the councilmen to hesitate.
However, it was explained last night
that there was no other course to
pursue, as Mr.. Byers could not be
forced to install the gate, so the ex-
pense was voted.
Plans for a concrete walk around
the new city hall were presented last
night and adopted.
w. j Clarke, the Court street
hardware dealer, raised a perpexlng
question by asking II he would be al
lowed to repair the partially burned
warehouse in the rear of his store.
The question was finally referred to
the fire committee and it will be re-
ported upon next week.
Members of the finance committee
reported that there is now about s5,-
900 of sinking fund money available
for loan and the recorder was d.
rected to advertise the SAME.

The successful elimination of the

due in large measure to the untir-
