BILLS COMMENT
By BILL AK.

article of ball.
 They are "loose' in many respects.
 Now, Schopp should have won that first game from Memphis, and would have had the team behind him played in gilt edge style.
 But on the defensive, two fatal miscues gave Memphis two runs, while on the offensive the Barons were so uneasy and so nervous on the bases that they threw away several fine opportunities to win the, fight
 Had Ellam not muffed a pop fly in the first inning the Memphii would have been retired without run.
 And even after the muff, had Henline held the ball instead of throwing 1t to second, there probably would have been no scoring.
 And Schopp made fatal blunder in the second which gave the Memphil their second and winning run.
 Babb was on first, Schopp baked, Babb was given second. A sacrifice placed him on third and a long fly put him across.
 In the seventh innDg Raub opened with a double and wormed his way to third while two were going out.
 Raub attempted to steal home. Had schopp placed the stick in front of OLearys face. Raub might have sue ceeded. But schopp probably considered that if he treated O'Leary in such fashion he would not be doing the proper stunt unto his neghbor, and on this ground he is possibly excusable.
 But in the eighth, what glorious op- portunities were thrown away!
 Schopp, to begin with, was walked. Then, after Molesworth had gone out, Henline hit one over Coulson's head. Henline, as a matter of fact. was at second himself before he realized that Schopp had halted. and was able to get back to first with difficulty.
 Well, by some means Schopp got to third. Henline remained on first when he could have taken second with ease. He was playing the game safely, no doubt, and according to a rule which he thought good, but if he had gone to second, rule or no rule, he would have scored with Schopp when McGilvray stung one safely to center.
 As it turned out however, he was held at second, and when Gygli lined out to right was doubled out.
 We do not intend to grumble over these little things, and are not finding fault.
 We believe that every man on the team is doing his best to win.
 But sometimes the wise player profits when his weaknesses and errors are pointed out.
 At any rate, we got one of the games and it was the first victory in more than a week.
 The crowd was large and enthusiastic, and possibly an era of success has dawned.
 After the game today the Barons go to Mobile.

STOCK MARKET

But little activity was evinced on
the San Francisco stock exchange
yesterday and as a consequence the
trading was light. This lull is con-
sidered by the brokers as natural
before the regular fall trading starts,
when, according to the predictions,
orders will come in thick and fast
from the middle west. The present
buying orders are chiefly from the
east and west, the central states be-
ing occupied in the harvesting of
crops.
The Goldfelds were slightly
stronger yesterday, with Consolidat-
ed the feature. This stock rose 5
points. Florence advanced 2h

took notice Thursday, when George
Hulvey and j. w. Williams brought

The rock is sort of lime quartz,
and is literally alive with the most
beautiful wire gold. The boys
brought in several pounds of the
specimens, and they say there is lots
more of it where this came. from.
The strike was made on the Gold
Bullion claims about mile from the
, old camp of lone. The specimens
brought to Round Mountain came
from about two feet of the surface.
One chunk is the size of a mans
| fist, with the wire gold sticking out
of it all over. Messrs. Hulvey and
Williams have discovered the ledge
in place at several points on their
ground, and every where they have
been able to secure good paintings
In all, they have done about 15O

MUST GET LICENSE
TO REOPEN LIVERY

In an opinion submitted to the Com
missioners today Acting Corporation
Counsel stephens holds that in order to
re-establish a livery stable business
which has been abandoned IL is neces-
sary to again obtain the written con-
sent of the owners of property within
200 feet Of the stable.
The stable was burned down in 1907.
and no business has been conducted on
the premises since. The owners now
desire to erect and carry on a livery
stable without complying with that sec
ton OF the building regulations which
requires the written consent of owners
of the adjoining property.
Assuming the original license to have
been a legal one, II did not authorize
such business perpetually,' holds Mr.
Stephens. THAT license TO do business
could be forfeited or abandoned as are
other rights. The abandonment Of the
business al this place Tor over two
years is, In my opinion, sufficient to
work q forfeiture Of the license under
the circumstances.
