Flaying of AU American Team Im preaee Spectators In Shanghai. ; Th Japan , Advertiser of Toko hama el December 23d contains an account of the appearance of th American baseball team In Shanghai. it aaya: . -. ' -Tha first ram began at 10:16 'a. m. yesterday, and although Shanghai ha 4 the assistance of three member of, tha vlalting team as welt as of a number of bluejackets left behind by the American men-o -war wnicrt left Shanghai for river parts .on Friday last the gams remained x somewhat oae-sldecT throughout and resulted in a vlotory for the visitors by ten guns t twa.rt--i.Vr :. I' 1 ' : '-, "For the morning's gam the teams lined ud at follows: BhanKhat La Mond,' shortstops Hetmuller, first Vase; Engelfrits, second base; Logan, -wttrd base: Bliss, catcher!

"The tame- should " be an object lesson to the Shanghai team.- After the somewhat loose play daring last summer hy our bssebaiters it- was re freshing to witness the excellent field' Ing and throwing of the Ail-Ameri cans, who played .'with remarkable surety, never missing their oppor tunities. :'' ..' . "Shanghai was first t bat. La ' Mond facing the pitching of Devereux. ' Considerable enthusiasm Was aroused among the spectators when La Mond hit one on the nose for a two-bagger, but he did not succeed in . reaching home,"' being caught between home and third. "The visitors In this Instance did sot make good, and la couple of men were run out through some - good fielding by Engelfrits-' on second base, but Delehanty finished the In nlngs by retting a run through clever base stealing. Through the succeed ing Innings the - professionals piled up a considerable total, while the locals were unable to score anything. The flrst home run' was scored In the i firth Inning. The same result w obtained In the afternoon's match, which was a great deal more Interest' ing than the one played la the fore noon. The teams were more evenly matched In the afternoon, the crack pitcher Burns being Included in the local team, while Drake, an excellent Shanghai pitcher, was with the All Americans. "Four hundred spectators wit nessed the morning game, while fully a hundred more were In evidence during1 the afternoon match. There was, however, throughout both games a marked lack or the spirit prevail ing among the fans at baseball matches home vln America. There was no rooting which adds to tha real pleasure of a baseball game at home. The whole crowd was. as quiet as If attending a dramatlo play, but thla tranquility, which Is completely at variance with the, tra ditions of baseball. Is probably to be attributed to the fact that the great malorlty of the spectators did not understand the .game. -As a matter of fact baseball is not a common sport In Shanghai, .like, for instance, tn Janan, "where every Japanese boy over 10 knows the game." "GREAT GAMS 18 EXPECTED. . Ppartanburg, 8. C. and Charlotte to Try Conclusions tn Basketball Game Saturday Night.

Other amendments .were by Mr. Hay- more providing that th solicitor of th eleventh district be paid 12,760; by Dr. Gordon, tbeV It taks ffeWaauary 1st, mi. Instead of July 1st. 190s.

He also read from Th Washington Star as to th Increasing number of elty courts lessening the need ot more Judges. S . Mr. Murphy asked what the solicitor for the Charlotte district received. Mr. Turlington said he, understood h got about HWO, but he did not live la that district himself. His own solicitor was receiving lees than 13.20. He pro ceeded ' wttn an . argument against th whle r salarr ' DroDOSltkm. Sneaking of congested calendars, he declared: "Th lawyers are many times responsible for It- In my county we lawyers have got together at times and said: 'Let's bust th calendar and -make court adjourn, and we have done it. Now I'm telling tales out ef school, but the people ought to know It- It's . all . wrong, and 1 am never going to dd It agam." MV.

On. the showing ct the arguments yesterday, there would not be funds enough fom the fees to pay the salaries. It was not contended the servicer would be any better, or that the Stats would be saved anything, lor it fewer bills were sent the State would have less revenue with which to pay the salaries. Where was the corruption or wranar of tha fee system t WhO.bael pointed out the crying evU of the fee system? The same man that complain ther are not enough convictions will say In the next breath that the tee avaiem inakea the solicitors too eager in ht Sting down offender. Mr. Hayes could not see ht the kinino- of thla bill had anyuunsj to' do with the establishing of roor J""? diclal districts. 'Mr. Kelly, of Wayne, was of th epln toa that the fee system should be bol tahed by progressive North Carolina, and was heartily in favor of th salary of 12,260. He was opposed to exceedingly high salaried State officers, thinking K did not tend toward purity in polities or keening the officers close to the peopw. Dr. Bolios thought It was tlm for the doctors to prescribe for this patient, sinoe the lawvers could not agree. He would prescribe a knockout dose, and moved to table the bill and all amendments.

SPECIAL ORDER- r The Senate took up tha bill to amend Chapter 40. Sec 1872, Revise 1, la refer ence to hunting, providing that the non resident child of a resident parent or the parent of a non-resident fhll resident in the State or the non-rearaent guest of a resident may be allowed to hunt without paying the Audubon liosnee tax. beiiaiur Idutts opposed the bill on the ground that it would havs tne eneci oi reducing greatly the revenues of the State Audubon Society. He said the Vir ginia law was hampered by such a meas ure now. the revenue ror tne abouwb Society of that State being out by SO per cent. In this way. Senator Gar declared that North Caro lina, hospitality demanded the enactment of thla bill and took the ground that the Audubon law as the people wanted It to operate was for the protection of game tn a reasonable hospitable ' manner rather thaax as a means ef raising .revenue. It this bUI were passed It would tana toi promote th life and force of the Audu bon Society rather than to dlstroy It. 8eaator Fry offered an amendment that the bUI do not apply to guests of clubs, hotels slid boarding houses. ' Senator Travis offered an amendment that really came up as a substitute tor Senator Fry's amendment, eliminating the guest feature of the bill and mskmg It apply only to the non-resident fathers and sons of resident landowners. Sen ator Fry aocepwrihe Travis substitute and it was adopted unanimously. The bill then passed Its second reading. Senator Ernple made objection to the final read me, but this was overruled and the bill passed Its final reading and was sent to th Heaae. JUDGES' SALARIES. The bill by Senator Bern am providing eompensatioa fon.Judges holding special terms ot court (100 per week to be paid by th county holding th special terms came up. Senator Fry opposed th bill as being designed to Increase salaries al ready prescribed by the. 1907 Legislature. Th 8tate was already paying . these Judges and the counties should not be required te assume extra expense in this way.' He said he believed a new Judicial district wiU be appointed at this i time and a supernumerary' Judge appointed who eould easily hold all these special term.. -, ,r. . " ,. V;n Senator Pharr advocated! the bill, as a Very great hardship Is now Imposed on a number ef the most desirable Judges of, the sixteen districts tn demands for them te hold special term. Often the bar of a ooontr would out out the special term rather than have an undesirable Judge, as they regarded desirability.

The matter of th threatened removal of the Bur lington branch of the Virginia Bridge and Irn Company is a live toplo here.

It has now developed that th Virginia company may not get this contract, and it It does not the plant will be moved off the line of the Soothrn Railway. Th board of trad of Burlington has been asked to co-operate tn an effort te secure the nantrect. and In extra session Tester dsy It appointed a committee which will go to Washington where the claims of the city will be laid before the officials of the road. it w agreed further that If all things were equal between the Virginia company and other bidders for this work, and discrimination was shown to an other bidder, the board would en deavor te have merchants and manu facturers of Alamance county route their freight so that the Southern would get the abort haul from Win ston or Durham, the nearest points touched by competing roads. , MADAME CALVE.
