The second game for the champion
shin of Alexandria between the AioA,
ondria Athletic Club and the Cardinal
Athletic Club was played on the no''n
Alfred street grounds Saturday after
noon and was witnessed by vast crown
Of baseball enthusiasts includlng many
ladies' and as was predicted in the
account of the first game, when the
Cardinals won, that the A. A. s would
prove dangerous rivals in the future
games" proved true in every respect
and they defeated that strong team by
the score OF IS to 3.
The Alexandrias we're the first at
hat and were retired in quick order by
Zachary who proved to be a wizard by
his speedy and pulling curves that
baflled his opponents. In the Cardl-
nails first turn at bat Hayden scored
and the side was retired. The A. A. s
in the second inning scored their first
run by O'Brien. In the Cardinals half
Murphy scored. putting his team in the
lead. The third inning the A. A: 5
failed to score. but Asiryke for the
Cardinals, with a powerful rap, knock
ed the ball to deep left field, and by
swift running gained home run.
The Cardinals after the fourth IN
ming failed to score as they were unable
TO hit Burrell because OF his great speed
and magnificent control Of the ball and
thereafter it was they walked right in,
walked around, then walked right out
again"
Williams commenced the trouble in
the sixth inning by knocking one OF
his pet grasshoppers, one of the most
difficult hits. to the field and scored
thereby. In the seventh inning Bur
relI Lynch and Hicks scored, giving
their team a lead that was sure to win
the game. Three men were on the
bases when Schrivener came to bat IN
the eighth inning and he hit the ball
square on the nose so hard that 1t went
flying at great speed to left field and
caused a general home coming" OF
the men on bases and he scored home
run. The ending Of the ninth inning
gave them total of l3 runs-not so
bad after all for an afternoons sport.
The pitching by Birrell was simply
great. and he deserves much praise for
his wonderful work in the box, but his
unnecessary hard stab at Zachary in
running him down TO first base was
the cause of much criticism by the
spectators. Bird" Trenary during his
time in the box had a similar play as
that made by Birrell and demonstrated
that it is as easy to strike player
lightly as it is TO strike him by great
force. The public is anxious to see
the best team win, and it is to be hoped
that in the future both teams will avoid
all unnecessary roughness during the
game.
Space will not permit of individual
mention, but the earnest work Of all
members Of both teams in Saturdays
contest was of high-class order and
no one need be ashamed of has per

BEET SUGAR DIVIDENDS.

The question of common dividends on
American Beet Sugar was not discussed
at the meeting of directors recently.
nor is there any likelihood of the MAJ
ter coming up for action during the
remainder of the calendar year. By
the end of next March the company
will have paid off its borrowings, put.
ting out at interest such moneys as
shall come in from time to time re-
quired by the falling due of the notes.
With the liquid payables wiped out the
matter of common dividends will be
much more timely than at the present
time.
Reports from the manufacturing en- |
of the company's business continue
good, but the sharp decline in the price
of raws, accelerated by the Spreckels
campaign on the Coast, has cut down
the margin of profit. Otherwise the
situation is unchanged, and barring un.
foreseen developments the current fiscal
year should be one of the best the COM
pany has yet experienced.

NEW BATTLESHIPS
WILL Be LARGER

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Plans
for bigger battleships with heavier
armor will be presented to congress
during the forthcoming session by Sec.
rotary of the Navy Meyer when the
question of the naval building program
is taken up for consideration.
Naval experts have practically agreed
that the new type of ship, of which
congress will be asked to authorize the
building of two, viii be larger and
heavier than the 27.OOO.ton ships now
under construction. The tonnage limit
will be increased to at least % 900 and
probably $4,000 when the plans are ma
, tured.
The naval general board has not yet
absolutely decided whether the increase
in weight shall be devoted to more guns
or heavier armor, hut the prevailing
opinion seems to favor heavier armor.
In the case of the latter the new
ships will have only ten guns, but
these will be fourteen-inch type, which
has but recently developed by the ord.
nance department of the navy. With
the heavier armor the ships win be
able 10 come into closer battle range,
thereby increasing their effectiveness.
The building program will probably
include several destToyers and one ad
diuonal ship, either an ammunition, 70.
pair, supply or hospital ship,

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

b With trading slight throughout the
week, quotations generally dormant,
the stock market rounded out its last
week before the general elections yes
terday. The market is no more than
normal under existing conditions which
tend only to leave it stagnated until
the matters now pending, all of which
directly effect stock quotations, are
decided one way or the other. Adverse
decision on those same matters will re.
suit in the market remaining much as
it is at present with the weakness
sligtly more accentuated and favorable
action will serve to strengthen and give
it boost out of the doldrums.
One feature of the week IS trading
has been the persistency with which it
has stuck to the stocks of higher value.
Not until the end of the week did the
wpriced stocks come in for much
attention. Waialua was an especial
favorite, so far as favorites were ap.
parent at all, and figured extensively
in the market of the first three DAYS of
the week. Opening at 100. so, it drop
ped the fraction on Monday and re-
manned steady at the fiat figure for the
balance of the week.
One nOIdDle safe was maze on MOn-
day when five hundred shares of Ha-
waiian Sugar changed hands in a single
block involving over $4,000 Another
sale of 100 shares of Waialua on Tues
day was followed by smaller but yet
substantial blocks in the same stock.
With the exception of $4,000 of Pho
neer which was sold Thursday, other
large sales were noted.
The value of the stocks Sold selling
values figured, were as follows;
Monday, $4S,375.
Tuesday, $21, O75.
Wednesday, $3105.25.
Thursday, $16,2s3.75.
Friday. $2323.125.
Saturday, $3975.25.
