Not since the Richmond Bowling

there been a more exciting series
than the three games rolled Monday
evening on the Newport Alleys be-
tween the Plumbers and the Times
Dispatch teams.

to the front, making a runaway of
the game. Then the Plumbers turn

fellows even worse. In the third
game IL was nip and tuck, and when
the last total was chalked up the
Plumbers had grabbed the string by
four pins. But they had the MAORI

as happy as IL they were on double

low his average. Blair got the best

A Washington dispatch announces
that the Georgetown University base
ball team may make q trip to Japan,
as follows:
"A strong tendency has developed
at the Hilltop university during the
past week to accept the invitation
from the Japanese government to play
series of games against the team
of that empire. An invitation was
received from an authoritative source
some time past, but II has been kept
under cover until something definite
might come up in regard to II. The
question was put up to the men who
will probably make good on the local
nine a few days ago, and In almost
every case these have urged that the
trip be taken.
Manager Crosby has definitely de-
cided to play the laps here IL the
preliminary arrangements can be
satisfactorily settled. He Is now In
negotiation with the man behind the
project. and VIII probably be able to
announce the full outcome of these
negotiations within u fortnight. He
Is very anxious that the game comes
through, as II will surely be great
event. and one that will attract a
great amount of interest here"

ton Army when the removal Of the
local organization from the old bar
racks will be completed and the army
will take up quarters in the building
erected for the annex saloon that was
operated opposite the street car waiting
room on East Second street. The new
barracks will be under the able lead
ership OF Captain E. Stanley and En-
voy A. Stubs, both accomplished
musicians who come here from Des
Moines. The opening of the new bar
racks will take place at $3.50 o'clock
when the former barroom will be
thrown open as religious institution
to which the public is invited. The
saloon fixtures were removed from the
building early in the week and the
army hopes by prayer and exhortation
from now on to convert the once re-
devious Of the thirsty into a temple
for religious service. Meetings will
be held nightly and on Sunday in the
afternoon at O'Clock and evening at

have spent many years in the work

who supply the people OF the city with
their foodstuffs, have decided to take a
day off August 10, and HE them off to
the city on the Mississippi river named
for the large trunk line that passes
through Ottumwa. Burlington was the
final choice Of the food vendors and
all are now in a state of expectancy
for the big event. The committees APP
pointed few nights ago to make the
various arrangements for the fiesta.
have gotten along sufficiently far in
their arrangements to announce defin-
itely that Burlington Is the placeN Of
holding the outing, and that August 10
is the day. The regular railroad fare
Is to be charged, so far as the commit
tee on train service can find out, and 1t
is likely that owing to the excellent
facilities for reaching the river town
from Ottumwa, that no special train
will afford travelling facilities to those
at hours early enough to assure the
picnickers of arriving in Burlington in
good season for the days enjoyment.
Nos. 10, at 6:55 o'clock, and IS, at 8: 05,
will afford travelling facilities to those
going The committee covered most
of the town yesterday in canvassing
the proposition of closing for the day,
and expressed their willingness to join
dealers in the West End, all were seen
and expressed their willingness to join
