the one killed. If there had not been
two out at the time Bud would prob
ably have scored. as Natty got it very
deep in the grass. After Parkins had
died in the third Bill Louden banged
to the left field fence fer a two-sacker.
Kelly drew a pass. The base runners
attempted to make a double steal, but
Lew McAllister's throw to Woods
was deadly and Bill was caught in the
act. That made two out and the best
Larry Schlahy could do was to go out
by the sh%ort-frst route. Gettman made
Schirm go farther back in the wild
for his fy. than Jack White did for his
first in the opening of the fourth round.
Jimmy registered his second swat of
the day and with Sharpe and Meyers
behind him it looked like something
doing. Some real hard luck, however,
put a stop to the Tigers aspirations,
for Bud Sharpe hit q terrific liner to
Malarkey. He stuck out his hand for
it, DETECTED it out of it's course to
George Smith. who got it just in time
to touch Jimmy as he passed and to
heave to first to get the disguised

George Schirm did some great work
getting Crisp's and Meyers's flies in the
fifth, n Parkins did the fan. Up to
this time Buffalo had accomplished but
two hits off Parkins. 1t looked like an
extra inning game, both twirlers were
going so we'll. 1t was one, two, three

Brain made q single, but was forced
at second when Cy Parkins turned an
intended sacrifice into a force out at
second by fast work. Steamer Flana-
gan then attempted TO steal second, but
Crisp threw him out a mile. Louden
made his first error on Wally Woods,
but George Smith was an easy out.
The third was one, two, three once
more, except that McAllister opened up
with a single. but he could not score.
In the next inning Cy made the Herd
look like monkeys with his crossfire.
After the disastrous fifth the Herd was
pie.
After Jimmy had made a great catch
of Schirm's foul fly in the sixth, George
Smith drew the first pass from Cy, but
he was forced out at second immedi-
ately. when the Tiger third sacker
did some brilliant work on Brains
grounder. Flanagan was very easy. 1t

seventh. and but for Malarkey's single

Joe Wright was a tower Of strength
on first base, and Alderman Hopping
WAS it with a capital Il" in the pitch

representative of the Fifth" delivered
the goods behind the bat. Seth Smith
made a home rum, to the surprise of
everyone, especially himself. A couple
of errors helped him. 1t wasn't a real
homer. big" Evans should have won
his ganie. Perhaps he would have sue

considerable. Health Officer Dave Chand-

ACTS IN A PARTY WALL CASE
DISTRICT SUPREME COURT SET
TIES DISPUTED QUESTION.
Case Involves Right to Use Land of
an Adjoining Owner-The
Issues.

Justice Wright has rendered an opinion
in the case of Julia Turner Heyl and 9TH
ers against Lewis f. Smoot, holding that
the right to use the land of an adjoining
owner for the purpose of building party
wall does not exist i'm the District of Co
lumbia, outside of the original limits of
the city of Washington. except by agree
ment of the owners. The decision is said
to settle question of law which has long
been a subject of dispute in the District.
The complainants own a large lot on
Wyoming avenue. which they inherited
from their mother, who had built dwell
ing on it. The house was erected thirty
five feet from the building line of Wyom-
ing avenue, about two feet within the
west line of the lot. and within the east
line a side yard, about thirty-feet wide,
was left. The defendant, being the owner
of the adjoining lot on the east, under
took to erect thereon a dwelling. the west
wall of which was about two feet within
his own line. About five feet back from
the front of his house bay window was
projected. the foundation for which ex-
tended about eleven inches over the di-
vldins line between the lots.
Sue for Injunction.
Before the house was completed the
bill in the case was filed to enjoin the
defendant from proceeding with the erec-
ton of the bay window and to compel
him to remove SO much of it as projected
on the compartments land.
By the decree signed today the defend
ant is restrained from maintaining the
bay window on the complainans' land
and is directed TO remove the same within
sixty days.
1t was contended by the compliments
that even though the regulation respect
ing party walls as promulgated BY Presi-
dent Washington in 1891 applied TO lands
outside the original limits Of the city of
Washington, the west wall of the bay
window was not a party wall within the
meaning of the regulation, because, as re-
Gently held by Justice Barnard, the basic
principle of party walls is mutually. and

they desire to build upon the east portion
of their lot, they could make no pos
sble use of the west wall of the bay
window as party wall.

Johnson appeared for the defendant.

Smith, I'm his own defense said Mrs.
Shinn sent for him last August and he
disposed of some of the articles. and that
he lost $50 of the money he had to pay
her for the sale of a portion of the
goods. Justice Cation referred Smiths
case to the grand jury. when a promis-
sorry note was produced, setting forth
that Smith promised to pay Mrs. Shinn
$50 for the goods in question. within a
certain time. Justice Cation thereupon
announced that such action made the
case a civil one. and he at once acquitted
Smith. Mrs. Shinn will therefore. have
to take civil action against Smith if she
desires to recover the money.
