Portugal was having its effect in the
neighboring Latin nation. After the
Portugal uphtaval Europe generally
thought tina; Spain would begin to feel
the influence of what was called Tie
world movement in placing greater
power in the hands of the masses OF
the people. The bloody revolt in the
Catalonian provinces several years ago
was regarded as only the first stop Of
revolutionary movement which Would
later engulf all Spain. But the expect
ed revolution has bot come to pass anG
today Spain may be said 30 be unus-
ually tranquil.
The railroad strike Ia the Andalusian
country was not directed in anv way
against the monarchist form Of govern
ment, nor was it even an attempt for
higher wages 1t was merely an effort
to resist q project of the government
whereby the employees were obliged 10
contribute a small part of their earn
ings to a mutual aid and sickness fund.

thusiastic Spanish politicians. and

The possible return OF the conserva-

WESTMINSTER WINS BY FORFEIT.
Visitors Not Satisfied With Umpire's
Decision.

| The Westminster Base Ball Team
won by forfeit from the Mechanics
vile Athletic Club last Saturday by
score of to 0. The score before
the game was forfeited was II to 10
| in favor OF Westminster. Mechanics
vile was easily outclassed az the
score stood II to in the third in
ming. After this inning the game
| developed into farce, the local UNI
pire giving the visitors everything in
order to make the game interesting.
However this did not satisfy them,
for they were continually kicking, and
in the seventh inning Arnold West
minister boy made a bad peg to first,
which went through Cook the first
sacker, and struck a Mechanicsville
player who was coaching on first.
ShipIey the Mechanicsville man who
was on first endeavored to make
second but was put out.
| Cover the umpire declared the run
ner out and Mechanicsville protested
saying that it was a blocked ball.
Shipley refused to move from second
base.
The umpire's decision was correct,
Mechanicsville was wrong, and 1T
would be we'll If they would refer to
Rule 81, Section OF the Official Base
Ball Rules. q block ball is batted
or thrown ball that il touched, stopp-
ed or handled by person not en-
gagged in the game. Had the ball
been stopped by spectator, or some
one not engaged in the game, il
would have been a blocked ball; but
as it was it was stopped by some one
who was engaged in the game.
Arnold pitched good game for
Mechanicsville and was the only
man on the team who acted like a
ball player. Had he had good
catcher the game would have been
different AZ far az his end of ii was
concerned. ......
