EXTRAORDINARY GAMES.
This season has been an unprecedented
one in the number of extraordinary con-
tests which have characterized it. The
number of single nSure games which
have already been played are treble those
of 1876, a year which surpassed all 9TH
ers in this respect. But 1877 is of itself
an unequalled year for extra-inning
games, the record including contests
which required from ten to "a innings to
be played before any result could be
arrived at. OF extra4nning games won
by single-fgure scores there have been
no less than fifty-nineI ranging from ten
innings up to eighteen innings. The rec
ord of these surprising contests is as fol-
lows:
Ten innings........ 20 Sixteen innings /
Eleven lnnings.....12 Eighteen innings. /
Twelve innings. Ill Nineteen innings
Thirteen innings. 4 rwenty-four inn'gs l
Fourteen innings 3 =
Fifteen innings. 2 Total ................. 50
OF games won by a score of l to 0, no
less than q are recorded, four being
marked by extra innings, while five
other games have been marked by scores
of l to l.
THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
The Allegheny club still leads in the
International pennant race, the Roches-

third. The Tecumsehs occupy fourth
place, the Manchesters fifth and the Live
Oaks and Maple Leafs stand sixth and
seventh. The contest now lies between
the first four of the above-named clubs,
as the record below shows:

A Town of Dwarfs.

A writer in the London Times describes
the effect of excessive intermarriage on
the inhabitants of Brotes, little town
in the province of Santander, Spain
Until eighteen or nineteen years ago the
village was quite shut off from the rest
of the world. It's inhabitants, from
their ever-recurring intermarriages, had
become quite a race of dwarfs. On
market days the priests might be seen,
with long black coats and high black
hats, riding in to purchase the simple
provision for the weeks consumption,
men of little intelligence and no learning,
sprung from the lowest ranks. About
eighteen years ago the Galician laborers,
or Galiegoes, from the mines of Galicia,
swarmed into the town for lodgings, ETC.,
and since their colonization the popula-
ton has increased in strength, stature,
education, intellect and morality. Their
intellects, also, have improved-intellects
which had been stunted, dwarfed and
ruined by their frequent intermarriages.
