MINISTER'S
PLAY BALL

BY 10 to 8, Seattle preachers
defeated Tacoma preachers in a
ball game at American lake yes
terday when the Methodist minis
ters of this district held their an
nual picnic.
Rev. e. H. Todd of Tacoma did
the twirling for Tacoma but he
was not equal to the Seattle brand
of box artist and was hammered
all over the prairie. Seattle,
with her usual tendency not to
overlook any chance, trotted out
two young college dominies who
are almost in the professional
class for battery and they had
Tacoma done up from the start.

lows: r. B. Parcel, EatonvilIe, c;

WEIR CHAMPS - PLAYING
NOW AS THOUGH THEY
MEANT BUSINESS.
NORTHWEST LEAGUE.
Standing.

The ball team that cavorted
about the diamond at Athletic
park in Tacoma uniforms yester-
day bore no resemblance to the
bunch that left here short time
ago, yet It was the same bunch.
The difference was altogether in
management. A week ago they
were sloppy and lazy looking
Yesterday they were all In the
game from start to finish anu as
full OF energy as runaway horse.
And the score board shows It.
Three straight against Seattle
with two of them whitewashes was
increased yesterday to four
straight with the first shout-out
for Vancouver.
The boys played In the field as
n they meant business. Clafiin
pitched to win and did. And the
Tigers raped the ball when hits
were needed.
Vancouver put in Gilligan. who
pitched a great game but even his
good work could not stop the
Tigers. They kept right at the
battle until the sixth inning and
then, with two out, Hurley bang
ed the ball out for his second hit
OF the day. He stole second and
Suess brought him with the only
run OF the day. Score:

VIM. ID. Stephens, former may.
or of Los Angeles, over whose
head the city council passed the
telephone ordinance that led to
the present referendum campaign
the company and it's hirlings all
the way down the line.
Late in March the measure
came back from the mayor to the
council. In the face of exposures
made by the Record and stead
lily growing public opposition, a
sixth councilman considered IL
worth his while to FLOP" He
changed his vote and the people
stood legally bound to hand over
$145,000 yearly to the telephone
company, in addition to what they
were already paying for the privi-
lege of having telephones In their
homes.
That would have been the end,
so far as the people were con-
cerned, had 1t not been for the ref
erendum.
Ten days after the law was
passed, the same newspaper that
had opened the fight started a
petition for referendum vote.
For nearly two months, against
the bitterest opposition, the fight
was carried forward to secure the
necessary number of signers.
A few days ago the city clerk
notified the council that the petit
ton contained the requisite num-
Der of signatures. 1t became the
duty of the council that had pass
ed the law to pass an ordinance
submitting their own action to re-
view by the people.
There is not the shadow of a
doubt but that the people, when
they go to the polls next Decem-
be, will decide for themselves and
againts the corporation. unless the
telephone company finds some
means of demonstrating that 1t is
justly entitled to an increase in
revenue. There is no Indication
that 1t Will be able to make such
a showing.
II the eferendum bears any re-
semblance to a Socialists da,
dream" the people of Los Angele
can't see 1t.

FIRST PICTURES OF NIGHT BASE BALI At CINCINNATI
WHERE ELEcTRIcS MAKE 1MDMD BRIGHT AS GAY

Playing base ball at night
may become popular. The scheme
is being tried out at League park.
Cincinnati, and has made hit.
still it is novelty. and the fans
may refuse to take it as a steady
diet.
They once tried to pull off horse
races at night. but the scheme fell
flat, and so it may be with base
ball. There is little chance that
games win ever be played in or
ganized base ball after the lights
are turned on. but you never can
tell.
The rules declare that league
games must be started certain
length of time before sun set,
which means that base ball by
electric light will not be possible
until the rules are changed.

FUTURE NOW SEEMS TO
BE RAINBOW COLORED
Predictions of Revolution Have
Failed and the Lack of
Progress by Congress the
Only Bad Sign.

Havana. March 15.-While the first
month in the life of the restored Gu
ban republic has not been one of
achievement, it has at least not been
marked by any untoward incident cal
culated to confirm the oft repeated
prediction that the experiment Of Gu
ban seh-government was destined to
speedy failure. On the other hand
the government of General Gomez has
still to present assurances of its stabil-
ity to direct wisely and firmly the
destinies of the island.
The one fact which seems to be es-
tablished is that Cubans Of all parties
are for the. time being determined to
forget their political differences and
pull together so as to- avoid as long as
possible what all dread-another Amer
fcan Intervention.
AT the close Of the provisional gov
ernment one Of the most prominent
American officials expressed the fear
that the Gomez administration would
collapse within three months, but he
added that If it survived that time II
would probably endure indefinitely
For this fear there now appears NC

Of displaced office-holders, there is not
the slightest evidence of dissatisfac
tion with the new government.
