The match last night lasted less
than two hours and both players
were at their best. De Oro's avered
age was .60 and Hueston's .61.
De Oro's high run was four and
Hueston's ten. This remarkable
ne run advanced Hueston from 12 to

BASE BALL NOTES
The California State League swat averages
are out. Joe Nealon, the ex-Pirate,
is the rightful leader. In 61 games with
Sacramento he hit .372. Hal Chase,
though, tops him. In 21 gaipes with
Stockton Harold slapped .383. Up 81
= times, he punched out 31 safeties. He
i- also 'tallied 20 runs and swiped Ave bases.
"Jake" Wolter, the ex-Cardinal, had a
fat time. On the slab for San Jose, he
|e bagged 25 of his 28 games, besides tying
s one. His peroentage of victories of .926
is about the best ever. WoKer took part
>? In 74 games and batted .839.
Blankenship; the catcher Joe Cantlllon
,r hopes to get back In the spring, swung
.299 for Fresno.
l" Old Fred Raymer topped the second
10 basemen. Danny Shay came next. Gra"
ham, with the Red Sox for a short while,
11 led the catchers. Nealon was the
steadiest first baseman.
f ReJd of San Jose, who excelled among
the outfielders, made some record. In
18 66 gaines he handled 102 chances with^
out a break. He only hit .229, though.

>t night in the second game of the season In
t- the Military League, the contest resulty
ing in a victory for the former by the
score of 28 to 12.
? The Engineers were greatly handicapped,
as it was their flnt venae thin seanon.
is Their work last night -is regarded as an
i- Indication of a flrst-claaa team before the
season is concluded. Troop F was given
* the battle of its career in the first half,
as at the end of the half they led by
n only three points. The second half was
ie very disappointing to the followers of the
,0 Engineer quint, as the boys simply.went
j, to pieoes and were outclassed at every
)f stage. They seemed to be tired and
piayed out.
It Fergus easily took the honors of the

Le During the forty minutes of play he shot

son of strength between the Preps and
s- the teams of the new organisation. The

le therefore if the hilltop crowd wins two
of the three games arranged with the
Christian association lads It will be able
a~ to challenge the league champions for the
J Interscholastic title.
Manager Framiieim also announces that
*' Western High has canceled the series ot

10 play against the embryo oolleglans. However,
the West Bnd High team is willing
to meat the Preps in a series of post5;
season games after the league schedule
8 has been played. 'The High School boys
" do this because they think it would be
a- impossible to play outside contests and
& also be able to hold the,r own In the circuit.
In case the Red and White wins the
pennant a series of games with the Preps
[P would be a great attraction and would d? ?

has been distributed so widely and in such. !
a way that the American committee feels
ca'led upon to answer it, and for that i
purpose will hold a meeting in the next 1
few days. 1
The bitterness of the feeling abroad may
be judged from the following short ex- 1
tract from Mr. Cook's pamphlet:
"For a long time?many will think far
too Ions?we have remained silent under
the calumny and abuse which have been i
heaped upon the management of the I
Olympic games In the stadium last Ju'y. <
But apparently our silence, which lasted I
until the games were brought to a con- elusion
on October 31. has been misinter- '
preted, and a limit was placed upon any i
further forbearance by the deliberate .
statements made at a public banquet in
New York by Judge Victor Dowling of
the supreme court, by Mr. James Sul'l- !
van, the American commissioner to the '
games In London, and by Mr. Conway, ]
president of the Irish-American Athletic 1
Club. A pamphlet has also been pub- '
llshed by Mr. Gustavus T. Kirby. an Amer- <
lean member of the committee d'honor, <
who was present, at the games. The other \
American members were Gen. Drain, Mr. <
Bartow S. Weeks and Mr. Sullivan, and
I may add that Gen. Drain Is here entirely
dissociated from anything said or done by i
his companions. I knew him at tba games. :
He was uniformly courteous, and the ex- 1
pressed himself as entirely satisfied with 3
all that had come within his experience.
"James SUllivan, however, is in a very <
different category. He has several times i
dilated on 'the prepared shoes worn by i
the Liverpool policemen in the tug of war. i
and the work that dishonest officials did !
in the committee rooms.'
"This he repeated at the banquet of September
21. and he has now forfeited every 1

Owen Mo ran, the English featherweight.

bout with Tommy- O'Toole, the sturdy
little Quaker city fighter, which takes
place at the National A. C. of Philadelphia
Wednesday. Moran expects to be In
the best of shape when he tackles
O'Toole, for he knows that the little
Phlladelphian can travel at a fast pace
for six rounds, and he does not want to
run the risk of being outpointed by him.
Jim Jeffries, who has repeatedly declared
that he would never referee another
fight, has been compelled to change
his mind, and will officiate in th* twentyfive-round

judge the battle he would throw up the

Caldwell, In charge ot the government*
case, have had taken sixty-four photographs
showing exterior views of the
properties.
Where similar improvements adjoin,
one photo has been made to cover three
or four houses, and of the large Improvements,
like Chase's Theater, the Hotel
Regent and others, two or more views
were furnished.
The proceedings were confined to
the formal offer of the government to
show the boundaries of the properties
sought to be condemned and the nature
of the improvements where suoh exist.
John Erbach, % photographer in the
employ of the geological survey, identified
-the photographs as taksn by him.
He said they faithfully represent the improvements
In the five squares. One of
the assistants to the District surveyor
testified to the accuracy of the maps
and plats offered In evidence by -the government
to show the boundaries bf the
seventy-five parcels included in the area
to be condemned.
First Square to Be Considered.
The commission decided to toko up first
square 230, bounded by B, C, 14th and
15th streets, and work Its way toward
Pennsylvania avenue, leaving until the
last the triangular square In which are
; .ocated Chase's Theater, the Hotel Regent,
Grand Army Hall and other large
improvements. The owners ot property
at the corner of 14th and B streets northwest
offered testimony relative to the
value of the Improvements only on that
property and the adjoining property on B
street. The testimony ae to the value of
| this ground will probably be given toI
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, to which
time the commission adjourned yesterday
shortly after 5 o'clock. The properties
are occupied by W. B. Moses 4k Sons'
Company for a shop, and the 14th street
front by Haggerty'e saloon. One ot the
witnesses testified that the three buildInge
are worth 134.575. A lengthy crossexamination
by the government's counsel
fal.ed to change the opinion of the
witness.
A discussion arose, after two witnesses
! for the owners bad testified, as to the
method of procedure, and an adjournment
was taken until Wednesday, it
is expected Justice Anderson will be asked
to definitely determine whether each
parcel shall be flrst disposed of, or each
square, or whether the government may
wait until all the property owners have
been h?jard before introducing its testimony
as to the value of the property.
