Fire Threatens Opera House.

Fire in the cellar of store at No. 500
King street, beneath the opera house,
where lunchroom will shortly be opened.
threatened the opera house shortly before
4 O'Clock this afternoon and caused con-
siderable CONSERVATION in the business
district OF the city as the dense volume
of smoke issued from the cellar. An
alarm was quickly turned in and the fire
department. after half an hours hard
work, subdued the fire and confined 1t to
the cellar. At the time of the fire a
number of plumbers were at work In the
cellar 1t is said, arranging gas pipes for
the proprietor Of the lunchroom. A
leaky pipe is supposed to have been re-
sponsible for the blaze. A quantity Of in
tlammable material in the cellar added to
the fire and caused a sitting smoke which
worked hardship on the f1remen.
Adjoining the burning place Is located
the Ideal Theater, run under the same
management as the opera house. The
place was crowded with women and chill
dren at the time, but the doors were
thrown open by the manager. and the &C.
cupants walked out without any panic.
The fire department was again called
out at 6:15 o'clock to extinguish a fire
which burned a shed in the rear OF the
home OF Otta Jackson. colored, in the
court bounded by Duke, Wolfe, Columbus
and Alfred streets. The shed was COM
pletely destroyed. although the fire de-
partment by prompt action saved the adj

was safe. The next batter was passed
and Rea then connected for his second
safe drive. Of the game and both runners
scored. thus giving the game to War.
The contest was one of the most inter-
esting that has been seen in the league
this season. First one team and then
the other seemed to have a good advan-

Amey gave the signal to Litz to throw

neither Berlick nor OConnor covered

The tall Ianky boy Litz, who did
the twirling for the southeasterners,

Brooklanders down to eight bineles.
He established a little record for him

Aggies Continue to Win.

Navy was downed by War by 5 to

) to /. in double header on the White
Lot ellipse yesterday afternoon.
Both games were fast and afforded the
crowds much entertainment. The game
between Treasury and the Aggies seemed
to be the most exciting because of the
fact that it carried the largest crowd and
more noise was made. but just the same
the Navy-War game bore the earmarks
of a corking good contest.
When such stickers as the Treasury
boys are held to five scattered hits you
can just put 1t down that the opposing
slabman is a good one. Well. this is what
happened yesterday, and genial Newberry
was sir knight artist. He worked the
splitter nearly all the time. and his control
was excellent. The Treasury boys were
their attempts to locate his assortment.
Reichard pitched a clever game for Treas
ury also, allowing but four hits. He did
not seem effective because he failed to
strike out as many men as Newberry.
The teams had an even break in the
score until the eighth. In this inning
three hits and a sacrifice counted two
tallies for the Aggies and the game was
won. Taylor. first up. singled Bryan did
likewise. Doyle advanced both men by
dropping one in front of the plate, and a
single by Priest scored both men,
Treasury is credited with seven errors,

innings. and this sort of play gave the
Aggies their first tally.

inning that has ever been seen on the To-
cal grounds 1t was chiefly spectacular
on account of its awkwardness. O'Leary

roy had to get UP and away very fast,
as Charley can set down 10 frst as fast
as the best ones. The ball went yard
to Donohue's left. while he wears the
glove on the right hand. Leaning away
out. he turned his right hand completely
around and thus captured the ball.
Catches like this are made sometimes In
practice, but rarely in a game.
'Jigger' was perhaps thinking about
this nice play in the fifth inning when he
slammed line drive into right and TOOK

have knoHn that Cobb always does the

with the surprising goods when he
slammed the ball on line to Morlar1ty

The play was so surprising and Donohue
such a big favorte that there was hard
