The Fort Bliss team will arrive
in the city at $3.50 Saturday af-
ternOon and will go from the
train direct to the park. The
game will be called at 4 o'clock
sharp.
The Sunday game will be call

admission.

Sundays game between The
Alamos and Fort Stanton was a
heart breaker.
Beckwith, Alamo's new pitch
er, had no control of himself in
the first and second innings.
He was hit hard and three runs
resulted-two in the first and
one in the second. This, how
ever, did not discourage the
home team as it scored three
runs in its half of the first inn
ing, batting Bell out of the box.
The score stood 8 to 8 until
the first half of the ninth inning
when the visitors got in one run
ON Kearney's failure to catch q
fly that landed out in the left
garden.
This made the score 4 to 8 and
the locals were unable to annex
any runs in the last half of the
ninth.
The game was interesting from
start to finish.
Alamo should have won and
would had Beckwith started in
in good form.

IN FAVOR OF CHEAPER GAS.
Action Taken by the Park View
Citizens Association,

The Park View Citizens Association
last night in the Whitney Avenue Chris
tian Church, Park road. near Georgia
avenue, adopted the report of the COM
mittee on public utilities on the gas
question. The report was submitted by
Arthur l.. Webb.
The association went on record as being
in hearty sympathy with the movement
for cheaper and better gass. and will
contribute in every way possible TO the
success of the undertaking of the Cham
ber of Commerce in its investigation of
the question. The association believes
that the maximum price of gas in the
District should be fixed at ~ cents per
thousand cubic feet; that the corpora
tions manufacturing gas for Illuminating
purposes in the District be authorized
to capitalize to the amount of their
actual physical assets as shown by a
careful inventory made under competent
authority by ,disinterested board of
appraisers, provided that franchises, or
good will' and the so-called "certif-
Gates of Indebtedness" not being con-
sidered a just basis for capitalization,
should not be included In an inventory
of a company's assets for that purpose.
The resolutions further provide that
the service pipes. connecting gas mains
gas is used. which have been paid for
by the consumer should not be in such
inventory. and that provision be made. by
the adoption of what is known as the
London sliding scale or otherwise
whereby the price of gas may be ad-
justed In the future without recourse. to
legislation; also that provision be made
whereby proper and uniform quality
and pressure Of gas shall at all times
be assured to the consumer.
The Commissioners will be requested
to include In their next annual estimates
recommendations for grading and i'm
proving Lamont street between Warder
street and Park place, Newton street
between Warder street and Park place,
Kenyon street between Georgia avenue
and Warder street and also a footway
hlong Warder street. between Newton
place and Rock Creek Church road.
The inadeQuacy of the public school
facilities in the Park View section was
demonstrated in report by D. A. Teller,
chairman Of the committee on education
and public buildings.
