said. is the first essential of the game
of base ball and also the first essential
of the game of life.
The position of the Washington base
ball club in the race for the American
League pennant. he continued Is due
solely to the fact that the members
of the team are putting forth every
effort TO land the coveted flag for the
city.
At this point the pastor pointed out
that conservation and concentration are
essential 10 winning. and that Second

some length. the pastor pointing to
Marquard's statement that he spent
weeks and months striving to acquire
control over the ball. realizing that
without control all the curves and

on top. More games" he concluded,

Hot Spell Not Expected to

A continuation Of pleasant weather and
moderate temperature is the forecast for
the week beginning today. The entire
northern part of the county east Of the
Rocky mountains is to have weather of
this kind, according to the weekly fore
cast issued by the weather bureau today.
though somewhat higher temperatures
are expected in the south. Toward the
end of the week warmer weather will
reach this part of the United States. the
heat coming from the extreme north
west, from where it will start about
Thursday.
In the northern part of the United
states east of the Rockies the weather
will be unsettled, with probable rains to-
day and tomorrow
Yesterdays sudden windstorm and

west about , o'clock in the evening were
merely another of those streaky local
storms such as have visited this section
during the past week. To the north OF
the city the rain was heavy for short
time. and was accompanied by a high
wind. which shortly died down to a gentle
zephyr. The storm lowered the tempera-
ture very rapidly, and the late after
noon and evening was delightfully."- cool,

which We're lost in the river close to the

RUMOR IS DENIED.
Fruit Importing Companies Not on
the Verge of War

reports have been in circulation re-
sarding the fmminence of a war between
the companies importing fruit into Balti-
more for the market there and in this
city and elsewhere, but the truth of the
rumol' is denied by the officials of the
fruit companies al Baltimore
The Atlantic Fruit Company and the
United Fruit Company are i'm competition
for the Colombian fruit trade. and it was
said that the fight would be started on
that account. Representatives Of the
Atlantic company at Baltimore have
stated that the talk about the companies
starting a rate war amounts to nothing.
While it is generally known that the two
fruit companies are in competition, there
is no disposition on the part of either to
start cutting prices.
The present prices of bananas in the
wholesale market are stated TO be rather
high. but this. it is asserted Is due to
a scarcity of the fruit and an unprec-
edently good demand.
