championship between the Mutuals and the
Lousvhles. The Mutuals were the favorites In
the pools, s,5 to $50. Mr.. Daniels OF Boston was
the umpire. and the Mutuals went first to the
bat. Hodsworth got his first on tase hit, but
WAS caught OF the base and put out. This bad
base running lost a chance for a run. base
hit by Hague, an error by Cram, and a two base
hit by Geerhardt gave the Louisvilles a run In
the first inning. After the first inning both
clubs PLAYED very sharp, and neither club scored
Ma hews, one by HoIdswortn. and an error by
Sommervi,le gave the Mutuals two rams. In
the sixth inning neither club scored; In the
seventh base hit by Booth on by Mathews,
one by Holdsworth, and one by start and two

two OF which were earned. The Louisvilles
played very badly, seeming to be completely
demoTalized, aud the Mutuals ran the bases
with ease. In the eighth INNING the LOUIS

and errors by Mathews. Mathews's ane fielding
and starts play at nrst base were features of the

base. Matnews's pitchiaR bothered the Louis

Prom the Boston Herald. Nay as.

WASHINGTON, May T.-The revelations
OF Mr.. Blaine's connection with Jay Cooke d
Co., the Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
and Warren Fisher. Jr., of Boston, published in
The NEW York sun, caused profound sens
ton at the Calitol this afternoon. those who
read the letters at once inquired who Mr.. Aquil
Adams was, and on being Informed that he was
a gentlema an OF character and standing, they
looked blank. Tho attention Of members was
at once recalled to the hall. forgotten facts
which Decame public at the time OF toe failure
OF Jay Cooke Co.. and after that failure was
announced, and when the statement OF me as
among them adeot of the Hon. James q. Blaine,
Speaker Of the House OF Representatives. Of
over forty thousand dollars on the house,
No. 81 Fifteenth street. In wnlcn he Then
lived, and which he stiii occupies. The race of
the mortgage was Ss3,sSj..s}, and to secure this
Mr.. Blain- gave thr notes Of fll.l1ln each,
to run respectively two. four, aud six years, at
per cent. At the time OF the failure no interest
had been paid. and IL b ad accrued TO the amount
OF over 5000. The amount OF the SUN seemed
to indicate that II wac on.-third part OF some
larger transaction. when the Cookies lent this
money to Blaine at per cent, they were pay
ING per cent on deposits on call. Toe house
itself WAS not worth more than 5000 II being
in the centre of block, and rather cheapy
built. A transaction So remarkably favorable to
Mr. Bine naturally attracted some attention:
but there were few VINO dwelt upon the seeming
ly unchartsble Inference thai Sir. Blaine was
receiving money from those bankers under
cover Of mortgage, Ia return for his influence
on the floor OF the House of Re representatives
That Is the Interpretation, however, which has
been put upon the matter Uy many persons to-
day, In view OF the Adams revelation.
