The first Jones knew Of the substitution

pitched. He threw only ninety-two balls,

him. so Matty made a general average
of q trine over three balls pitched to
each batsman.
Had 1t not been for an error
by Fletcher after two men were

lowered the mark to eighty-six. Only

Inc suggestion Of The Times that
Washington be represented in the Gid

met with hearty favor among Iepresen-

Grant, secretary of the Chamber; Gran
Vile Hunt, chairman Of The conventions
committee; W. F. GUIDE, and a number
of other well-known business men, in
dorsed the project. Having a team in
the Glidden tour to represent this city
would seem to me to be fine way in
which to boost Washington said Sec
retary Grant Il learn that chambers
of commerce and other commercial

Young Loughery, the Philadelphia well

1t may be well for Fergusons friends
to find out If he is to meet Young

night. A bout with Young LouShery'
a much heavier boxer, might prove dis
astrous. A number of fans of this city
