There will be a MEETING Of the board
of managers at the residence of the
treasurer. A. E. Riddle. 1929 North Cap
itol street northwest tonight, at s
o'clock AS there are several matters
the managers are expected to attend.
Few can understand the reason for
Manhattan not being awarded that
game that National Union forfeited to
it last Friday. As a matter Of fact,
Manhattan COULD not claim that game
on a forfeit, because it did not have
nine eligible players on the field, Oakley
having been suspended on June 16 for
wrangiing with the umpire, and his
suspension had not been lifted.

Today's game should prove to be an
interesting struggle as Petworth and
Silver Spring are travelling at top speed
at present. Last seasons pennant win
ners are now leading by half a game,
and a defeat at this time would make
the race a close affair.

Some of the managers will have a

HOKE SMITH SENATOR.
Will Retain Governorship, How.
ever,ssSome Time.

Governor Hoke Smith was elected
United States seuator by the Georgia
legislature to fill out the unexpired
term OF the late Senator A. s. Clay.
but he nude IL clear In an extempora-
ueous speech delivered In the recep-
tion room of his Office to friends who
crowded In to offer their cengratula-
tions that he did not intend to reiin-
quish the governorship during the
life OF the present session OF the leg
islature. !.
Governor Smith declared that he
had strong hopes that an anti.lobby-
ing bill would be passed By the pres.
ent session, and that he would hate
for anyone else to approve such a
measure after he had fought strongly
for 1t during his first term as govern
or. He said 1t was his intention moi
to leave Georgia until next December.
Governor Smith succeeds Joseph
M. Terrell, who was appointed by
Governor Brown TO Gil the senatorial
vacancy until the Legislature acted

THE NEAR-BEER ORDINANCE.

The contention of the opponents OF
the Near Beer ordinance, enacted by
the City Council recently have been
in great glee since Saturday after
noon when the decision of Hon. l.. u.
Blanchard, Judge of the City Court,
was pronounced against the city.
The gist of the issue relieved OF
technicalities and legal phrases is
simply: Has the city council author
lily to levee a tax on dealers i'm near
beer" so-called.
In substance the decision is to the
effect that the city is without au-
thority or power to inflict punish
ment by criminal proceedings
aginst any one who would sell the
near beer without license, but to
collect such license, action must be
by civil suit.
This conclusion to the ordinary
layman's mind is rather queer anC
would seem to be inconsistent with
common sense upon which all Law
OF equity should rest.
For instance a seller of near beel
has declined to conform with thu
ordinance of the City requiring tn
payment of the license fixed by tn
council for the sale of near beer
The seller in defiance of law coul'
not be arrested nor could he b'
made to comply with the law ant
In defiance thereof he may contln
ue to sell, until a civil action ha
been instituted against the offende
and the decree of the civil court
dacorded as fined.
This proposition is nonsenslca
and leaves the impression that Tn
decree was somewhat an evaslo
OF the constitutionality of the ques
ton involved in the issue. The cas-
will go To the supreme court on a
appeal By the city and a final decis
ion may not be reached before sev
eral months.
