The spectatqrs were not disappoint- ted either; right from the time the | first ball left the: pitcher's hand un- til "little Jimmie' of the AX, was | declared out In the ninth ipning ex- | citement redgned. | There were a few "muffs" due to the players' high tension, but the | play on the whole was considered i first class. The pitchers held the { batters down-elose; white the field- [igg, especially of the Engineers, de- serves special mention. Catcher Stagg of the "Service" was a little 'fussy" at first but towards the end steadied down. The Engineers have a well-balanced team, and to a_great | extent this is dye to conaTt prac: tice, The "'Servige' boys are in ¢lin- ed to place too uch confidence in ! their pitcher whojis without question a peer at the game, but it must be borne in mind tfat he requires con- stant assistance §if his team expect {to pull out aheafl.

With these three teams fighting it out for the trophy, there promises to be real ball played dur- ing the next two weeks, The players of both teams in Wed- nesday's game displayed clean sports- manship, and took the umpires de cisions without guestion It is sport like this that counts, after all. Martin, Smith, McCarthy and James starred for the winners, while Derry, Stagg, Elmer and Walker were the shining lights for the los- ing team. Both umpires gave entire satisfaction. The teams lined up as follows: © Engineers-- Begwick, Quacken- bush, McKelvey, Savage, James, Gra- ham, Martin, McCarthy, Smith Army Service--Elmer, Belanger, Robinson, Derry, Baker, Stagg, Ec- cles, Walker, Hughes.

Council Decided to Pat Down Con- crete Walk on Alwington Avenue as Result of Petition and Strong Deputation--Tenders to be Called. Portsmouth's tax rate will in all likelihood be the same this year as last, namely, 33 mills. The matter was under considera- tion at a special meeting of the Council held on Wednesday night and while it was not finally decided it is pretty well understood that there will be no change made in the rate, As the result of a petition sent to the Council, and a strong deputa- tion which waited on tne Council, tenders will be called for a concrete walk, to be laid on Alwington avenue. The Council had previously decided to tear up the old board walk and allow a cinder walk to fill the bill until finances .were more satisfactory for the work. How- ever, thq petitioners felt that as they had been waiting Seven years for a walk and especially in view of the fact that they were paying. one- fourth of the entire taxes, which is Quite correct, that the new walk should be put down. The case was so fairly and strong- ly put that Reeve Halliday and his colleagues felt that it was only fair that the walk should go down, 80 it was agreed to call for tenders and these will be opened at another dal 'wdetihg of the Council, which will be held on Wednesday next.
