ALAMEDAS in lead
IN CRICKET CONTEST
EHCinaI Teams Victory Over
Wanderers Practically AS
SureS Them Championship
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
By WILLIAM UNMACK

Had the Barbarian Golden Gate game
suit of the game might have been diff
ferent. Even allowing that extra time
was allowed to make up for the start,
yet this is ifever the. same as il games
began punctuany.
The result of the delay was that the
game was unfinished and the first
drawn" game OF the season registered.
The Golden Gates evidently appre-
ciated the delay, as their performance
was easily the best, showing that the
team has improved this season, and it
managed for the first time to place
three figures on the score board.
L. Kaufman played a useful inning
for 81 not out. His inning was slow,
but his steady defense practically
turned defeat into drawn game.
ALAMEDAS DEFEAT WANDERERS
At the Alameda grounds the principal
struggle of the second round was f1n-
ished in favor of the Alameda team.
The Wanderers evidently had stage
fright, as their performance was by no
means up TO their usual standard with
the bat.
In the bowling departments both the
Wanderers and the Alameda teams did
good work. Howard and Deane bowled
particularly well for the Alamedans,
and Deane made short work of the
Wanderers tail end men.
Charlton and Stuart had the brunt of
the bowling for the Wanderers, and
when these men gotN the strong Ala
media team out for less than 20 runs it
was naturally supposed that the former
could equal the score. They were mis-
taken, as none of the batsmen could do
anything with the deliveries of Howard,
Nield and Deane.
The victory practically places the AL
ameda team in the lead for the cham
pionship.
TWO GAMES TODAY
Two championship games are to be
played today, one at the stadium, be-
tween the Barbarian and Alameda
clubs, the other at the Alameda grounds
between the Wanderers and the San
Francisco team. There is difficulty in
getting representative teams together,
and it is probable that the sides will be
short some of their best players. The
Golden Gate team has a bye

erages brought UP TO date are as fol-

Washington. Jan. lS.-Serious
charges of favoritism and extrava-

was Commissioner of the General
Land Office were made yesterday
against Richard, A. Ballinger now
Secretary Of the Interior The charg-
es were made by Representative
Hitchcock of Nebraska
The most important allegation or
Mr. Hitchcock is that funds of the
Interior Department were improper
ly used in paying private travelling
expenses Of Secretary Ballingers
second cousin, Jack Ballinger OF
Seattle
lie presented a statement in which
he said that wheL Mr. Ballinger be-
came Land Commissioner he made d
place for his second cousin. who is a
lawyer, and gave him salary OF
$4,000 a year. He accomplished this,
Mr.. Hitchcock charged, by reducing
the salary of law clerk named
Wright from $4,000 TO S1,40O a year
and giving the $4,000 place thus
made vacant to his cousin. Jack Bal
linger took the place, however, not
under the title of law clerk, Mr.
Hitchcock said, but under the title
created by Mr. Ballinger's order Of

is that the retired ironmaster has
given a million sterling (S5,000,000)
to the Liberal campaign fund to fight
a protective tariff in the interest Of
the United States steel trust.
The story is industriously circu-
lated by the Unionists, whose cue it
is to represent their opponents as
hostile to British interests and as
tools of Britian's commercial rivals.
Lord Claude Hamilton standing
for the Kensington division as a
Tory, ventured to publicly assert
that his free trade opponent, Capt
Macilwaine, retired naval officer,
was having his campaign financed by
An American mult-millionaire. who
requited British hospitality by dump
ing his highly-protracted steel pro
ducts upon our shores.
Capt. Macilwaine declared the
statement absolutely untrue, where
upon his rival replied that the charge
might have been taken as banter
In spite of this, the story has been
most industriously disseminated, and
It has obtained many believers.
