VATICAN AND QUIRlNAL.

The officials charged with dispensing
the 100000 francs which the pope
was able to devote towards helping the
sufferers OF the Messina and Reggie
disaster, have made report to the
Vatican which is creditable and graft
flying. The cost Of administering re-
lief was only 81 per cent, OF the sum
handled, in marked contrast to that
spent in dispensing government and
private aid. Hundreds Of churches
were rebuilt or repaired rs we'll as
schools, hospitals, orphanages and
private dwellings, besides the assls-
lance given in food, clothing and
money to the survivors.
The most pleasant part of the report,
however, is the testimony rendered by
the church officials to the hearty CO.
operation OF the Italian government
and its officers in carrying out their
plans. They all did everything to
help. 1t is true that thoy were in the
presence Of great calamity, where
political differences must disappear,

CLOuDBuRsT IN FAUQU|ER
Will Require Thirty six hours to
Repair Bridge---Telegraph Wires
are Carried Away.

There was a cloudburst near sDela-
plane, Fauquier county, about seven
O'Clock yesterday evening which inun-
dated that section and destroyed the
one hundred and sixty-four foot rail-
way bridge at that place and tore up
several hundred feet Of railway track at
both approaches to the bridge.
It will require at least thirty-six
hours to repair the damage and place
the bridge in condition to accumo-
date trains.
Passengers on the Manassas Division
OF the Southern Railway are being
transferred at the scene of the inunda-
ton
Telegraph wires were carried away
by the cloudburst and there is reason
to believe that considerable damage has
resulted to houses and crops near
Delaplane.

The following rule has caused
some trouble in Interpretation at the
local park.
The base runner is running to
first base may overrun said base
after touching il in passing without
incurring liability to be out for being
off said base, provided he return at
once and retouch the base, after
which he may be put out as at any
other base IL after overrunnlng
first base, he attempt TO run to sec
ond base. before returning to first
base, he shall forfeit such eXemp-
ton from liability to be put out .
On an overthrow Of first base and
when the runner has oVerrun the
base. our men have come back to
first before going TO second, thereby
losing much ground. This is not
necessary for the runner is not out
for failing to retouch first he is
merely liable to be put out. The rule
now does not require that runner to
turn TO his right after oyerrunning
the base. He may turn either way,
provided he makes no attempt to
go 10 second.

SPORTING 'GO5s|P.
What the Local Ball Team is Doing
Interesting Games Being
Played.

Even league umpires rule differ
emily on plays that are similar, and
this was illustrated this past week
in the games ut Washington. In one
Cleveland game Schaeffer was hit
by a pitched ball which struck him
on the bound, but Evans would not
allow him to take first, ruling that
the pitch was concluded when it hit
the ground, and therefore what happ-
ened afterwards did not matter. In
the Chicago game. however, Milan
was hit on the foot by a short bound
ing pitched ball, and Connolly sent
him to first The rule reads that,
the baserunner shall be entitled,
without liability TO be put ont, to adj
vance base, if while the batsman
he becomes a base runner by reason
Of -Four balls, or for being hit by
a pitched ball etc. In the light OF
that. we agree with Connolly's rui-
ing, as the wording of the rules adj
mits Of no technicality.

he wrote upon the retirement of the
cork center ball, believing that the
small and even scores warranted
that statement That very afternoon
Washington drove four Detroit tWirl-
crs from the box and scored eleven
runs in three innings. The next ser
les saw Johnson lay out James with
Il terrific liner. Then Mr.. Griilo adj
mittcd, after being put wise by Mr..

ball was still in use. and referred

promised great future for the left

enough for the big league. In Mon
