good man is now available for every
position. billie" Sitterding will prob
ably be shifted to third base. while Mess.

be given a trial at his old place at
shortstop.

strenuous than usual, but none of the
candidates showed any ill-effscts from it
Hub" Hart. the old Georgetown star

a few valuable pointers, and proved of

CUP COMES TO WASHINGTON.
But Baltimore Billiard Players Won
Last Night, 3 to l.

AdSL N1SAt, y W l..
For the first time in the intercity match
Baltimore played good billiards and tri-
umphed over the senatorial billiard quar-
tet. managed by Frank Sherman, in the
Oyster city last night. The Baltimore
team won three of the four games played
and broke high average for the season of
teams. Moore and Morrison being the Of
tenders, with 37s and 4 1-6. respectively.
to their credit
Morrison easily defeated Hoeke. 100 to
II. while Moore trimmed the great Gray.
100 to 81. Moore's consistent tallying
completely upset Gray, in addition to the
worries rolling distastefully bad. hence
the result. After the game Gray re-
marked that it was the worst game he
ever played Moore. who triumphed over
him last year. 100 to II. being the only
one who ever defeated him two games in
succession i'll a contest.
Linhart also came In for a share of ap-
plause by playing the best game of his
lot this sea son, averaging 3lk, and defeat
ing Hill, WaShngton's most promising
player, 100 to 55. The only Senator who
had the merest distinction of victory
tucked away was Harry Stevens who
defeated Baker by q score of 100 to IS.
The Baltimore teams play was a revela-
tion sto those present. and the general
opinion was that had it played in previous
matches as it did last night Baltimore
would have been an easy winner.
Last nights play ended the series.
Washington winning by a total score of
! ,472 to 1 ,2S7. Having won last year from
Baltimore, Washington became the owner
of the cup Each of the teams has won
an intercity match. 1t was announced
last night that the rubber will be played,
arrangements to he made during the sum-
mer by Messrs Sherman and Klein, with
a new cup trophy. Referees were S.

The promoters of the Stockton street

cept the conditions that the public util-
tiles committee of the board of super
visors sought to impose. The pro-
moters had objected to the provision
which gave the supervisors power to
grant a permit to another company to
operate for 10 blocks over the line.
Yesterday they announced that they
would accept these terms and proposed
certain additions which are said to be
agreeable to the committee. 1t is ex-
pected that a majority report will be
submitted recommending that the fran
chise be offered for sale.

the city decides to operate municipal

FORMER CASHIER
is FOUND GUILTY
Rowland Convicted of Stealing
From Bank of HeaIdsburg

SANTA ROSA, April 10.-The jury in
the case of Edward s. Rowland.
charged with embezzlement in connec-
tion with the failure of the Bank of
Healdsburg last winter, resumed a
verdict of guilty late this afternoon.
The case has caused much interest
here, where the former cashier was
well known and popular prior TO his
downfall.
The first intimation of anything be-
ing wrong at the bank was when Com
missioner Watson arrived TO make the
usual investigation. Cashier Rowland
called him into the private office and
admitted there was a shortage of near
1y 100000 for which he was personally
responsible A meeting of the direc-
tors was called. and the bank suspend
ed payment Saturday afternoon Be
fore the following Monday a settle
ment had been made. the directors
making good half the loss and the
aged father of the defaulting cashier
the balance. The bank was taken
over by the Farmers and Mechanics
bank of Healdsburg and business was
resumed.
No action was taken toward the
prosecution Of the embezzler by the
bank officials. but later the grand jury
returned an indictment and the case
went to trial before Judge Seaweu and
jury three weeks ago. Owing to
Illness among the jurors and attorneys
the case was delayed an entire week
after the taking OF testimony had been
begun.
District Attorney Clarence F. Lea
and Deputy G. W. Hoyle worked hard
on the case, and the verdict is con-
sidered a victory for them. Former
Congressman Thomas ]. Geary made
q hard fight to save his client and
probably will appeal the case.
