SATURDAYS GAME DECIDES CHAM
PI0NSH p.

Once more will those brave knights
OF the balls and bats-the Cardinals
and Alexandria Athletics-try to settle
the question as to who is to be the
champions OF this bonOrcd old city,
when they meet on the north A'ircu
street grounds tomorrow afternoon. IL
is no secret 10 state that both teams are
anxious to win the title and will strain
every muscle and nerve to secure 1t.
The worlds championship series in the
big leagues will hardly cause as much
excitement here as is now being mani
tested by the admirers OF these amateur
PLAYERS. The big crowds that have at
tended the previous games is a sure
sign that the series is grand success.
No one can tell who is to be the lucky
team in the next contest. as II Is sure
10 be one that is worth travelling good
distance TO see, and no doubt many
persons who have been unable to at
tend the former games will be present
and encourage the boys TO do their
best in the art OF playing baseball. 1t
is to be hoped that all the players will
do their best in trying to gain time so
that it will be unnecessary to have the
game run into darkness, and perhaps,
cause another tie. The line up OF the
teams has not been announced, hut will
possibly be the same as heretofore, with
the exception OF the batteries. The
game will be called at O'Clock.

Nearly $1,000 worth OF bonds,
bearing 5 per cent interest, were sub
scribcd for last night at meeting OF
the r tail Merchants Association in

$40. 900 which is Alexandria's quota

A TEMPERANCE LESSON.

Another sad picture was flashed on
the screen in the Police Court this
morning when a young man, quiet
and good-natured in his manner, was
arraigned on the charge OF taking
bread from box in front of store in
the southwestern section of the city. A
policeman had caught him in hagranti
delicto, and there was virtually moth
ing upon which to build defense. 1t
was but one of many cases where a
man blessed with all opportunities for
being useful and respected, has vOlun-
tarily become straggler in the march
O; life by reason Of the excessive love
for intoxicants. He was fined $40.
