FIRST GAME.

The Browns outbatted the Nationals,
but Groom. although frequently in hot
water. always emerged from the fray
smiling when danger lurked near. Dur
ing six of the nine innings the first man
Up for the Browns managed to get on
the bases, but sharp fielding helped
Groom on several occasions. The real
score should have been ! to in favor
~ the Nationals as the first National
tally was a Christmas present handed
over to us by Manager George Stovall
himself. This run cropped out in the
fourth when Milan, who was hit in the
elbow promptly stole second, and raced
to third on Laporte's long fly TO Shotten.
Shanks gave Pratt a liner, which the
second baseman promptly muffed. the
throw from Pratt to Stovall was perfect,
and had Shanks by three feet, but Man
agsr George dropped the ball. and while
H. was trying to dig it out of the dirt
Sranks sprinted over the bag and Milan
crossed the plate. Several other chances
to score We're missed by the Nationals
for the lack of hits at the right time.
Browns Threaten.
The Browns threatened to pull Groom
off his perch in the second, third, fifth.
and sixth. Even in the ninth. Wallace
reached second base, but could not count.
The Nationals second tally in the
eighth was justly earned. Williams led
eff with a single through Wallace. and
Groom sacrificed the big catcher to the
midway. Moeller famed, but Foster
pumped a pretty single over Pratt's
head. and Williams bPsezed home.

MOUNTAIN CREEK
 WINS HER FIGHT L. & N. Denied Right to Re- move Station 2000 Feet
 Further

Montgomery, September 2.-(Special.) Efforts on the part of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company to re- move the depot at Mountain Creek to place 20e0 feet from it's present site met with failure today at the hands of the Alabama railroad commission, which denied the railroads petition, and de- creed that the station should remain at its present location. This was the most important case to come bsfore the com mission at today's session of that court.
 The chief object of the railroad cor poration h wishing to remove the depot from Mountain Creek was for the purpose of discontinuing the use of one of three passenger stations in that im- mediate territory. The railroad com pany claimed that the depots at Mar bury, Mountain Creek and Verbena were too close together, and that two sta tions were sufficient for that territory. On the other hand the state resisted the efforts of the corporation to remove the depot from Mountain Creek particu- larly In view of the fact that the Sol diers' Home Is located at that place.
 There was much opposition to the re- moVal of the Mountain Creek depot es- pecially from the Daughters of the Con federacy, and much other pressure was brought to bear upon the commission to deny the railroads petition. Attor- ney General K. c. Bricksll appeared be- fore the commission in behalf of the state, having been requested to do so by Governor ONeal.
 In addition to denying the petition of the railroad for removing the Noun tain Creek depot the commission granted the petition of the citizens of Sarsgossa on the Southern for better depot facilities at that place

Los Angeles. Cal, September 2-Joe Mandot the New Orleans lightweight, defeated Joe Rivers of Los Angeles in 20 rounds of fierce fighting at Yer non today Man'dot had the better of every round but three and won the de- cision by wide margin.
 Rivers seemed a mere novice in the hands of Mandot and showed to ad- vantage only in the infighting. In the closing rounds Mandot even outfought him in the clinches. Rivers weighed in at 133, Mandot at 131.
 Mandot solved Rivers defense early in the bout, landing straight lefts to the face almost continuously without a return. In the eighth he began rock ing Rivers head with right and left swings and in nearly each one of the succeeding rounds he followed this at tack.
 He showed great cleverness in block ing and countering.
 The boys spent much of the time fin clinches and Referee Eyeton was compelled frequently to pry them apart.
 Rivers had shade the better in three rounds, the fourth. sixth and eleventh. Tn the thirteenth Mandot nearly closed the Mexicans right eye with left swing and in the next round he pun ished him severely with straight lefts and rights. Mandot appeared to be tiring in the sixteenth round and in 2

JUDGE CONSIDERS
 KANSAS TANCLE Takes Under Advisement Taft Temporary Restrain
 ing Order

Denver, September 2.-Judge Frank Sanborn of the federal court here late today took under advisement the tenn porary restraining order case in which an attempt is being made to prevent Charles Sessions, secretary of state of Kansas, from certifying to county clerks of Kansas the names of eight presidential electors who have de- clared in favor of Theodore Roosevelt for President D. R. Hite. who opened the case for the plaintiffs, argued that so long the names of eight electors were obtained by irregular methods, they had no right 10 be placed on the regular republican ticket.
 L. W. Keplinger, representing the Roosevelt electors. read two affidsvits, one by ]. M Dolley, chairman of the republican state committee of Kansas, and the other by John II. stewart. Mir. Dolley in his affidavit declared it was his belief that Taft and sherman were nominated at the republican convention at Chicago by fraud and they were not the regular nominees of the party. that the Roosevelt faction represented the republican party in Kansas and the right of the 10 electors who declared for Roosevelt should be placed on the regular republican ticket.
 Stewart, one of the electors, stated he did not declare at any time nor did his supporters claim he would support President Taft but that he concluded he could not conscientiously vote for MT Taft in view of the methods adopt ed for his nomination at the Chicago convention.
