The Nationals Chances for Winning the
Championship.
At 3:15 o'clock this afternoon the New Bed
ford aud National clubs will again measure
bats and strength in championship game on

Should they play a decent game and then meet
with defeat, their friends, while regret

was the case after the exhibition on
Thursday last When a game Is lost by supe.
rior hitting and both mines fold WELL little
blame can be attached to the vanquished. But
when one club virtually presents another with
n game, then there exists sufficient ground for
complaint and censure.
The Nationals have a chance to redeem them.
selves and It is to their interest TO sec that
they do not throw 1t away.
A mistaken idea exists in regard to the
status of certain clubs in the championship
contest, aud that the Nationals are now shut
out of the race for first place
This is not correct. They still have daylight
before them, aud II depends very much upon
the Holyolse and Albany games, which way
they CO. to settle tho standing Of the Nationals
as we'll as their prospects for becoming win
ners.
For instance the Albany club has won

games remaining to play-two with tho Ma.
| tionals and two with the HOlyokes They
may win ALL half or none of these games
Should they win all they will be 20. If they
should lose two to the Holyolles they would
stand 25 won to 10 lost-leaving tho gamos

| number their score cannot reach more than
| 90 but It is Just as reasonable to suppose tina
| thGy will lose one or two us Albany, and thcil
| score is not likely TO 60 above %.
The Nationals have won 22 games and los
Is. They have still five games to play !
| GOOD luck is with them aud they win all, the
score will stand p games won to II lost. II
do this they must defeat Albany two games
| Holyoke one aud New Bedford two, As the,
have won four out of the six games alread'
played with the frst-named club, thei
chances IN that direction ought to be consid
cred tho best. If this Is done aud Albany fail
to beat the Holyokcs, then the former will re
main where they now stand--25 games wOl
aud II lost If Albany wins only one gam
nom the lIolyokes it will give them 90,
Should the Nationals defeat the Albany
both games aud the New BAilOrds twice, thei
score will stand 20 games won, leaving the ii
game with the llolyOkes unplRycd. Wmnin,
that would make them "a; losing one game t
Albany and victory of the Holyokes woul
still make them 20 games won.

A colorcd woman named Lydia Buvor was
arrested yesterday by Detectives McDcvitt

gentleman named Henry Rochat residing at

The affair occurred several weeks ago, tho
woman being employed as domestic by Mr..

berry and went down into Virginia, near

Several days ago a smouldering fire was dis

to the credit of each club, allowed from the
Hop Bitters" niue. The entrance Of this
club into the Association has been protested
and must be acted upon. If it is decided to
throw these games out, then both Albany and
Holyoke will lose two victories each, whilo
the Nationals get off with one victory and one
defeat, which will be TO the advantage Of the

high as the SIX and seven OF 1872, because

tate, etc. and that il what the country

The deliberate lies told by the organs Of
the commGnistic party are at times as
founding, from their originality. The claim
of the financiers is not that four per cent.
to-day is less than six per cent. 10 1872,
but that paying four per cent. te-day is
far better than paying six per cent Could
one of the communistic party become the
sole possessor Of the actual saving in the
interest on the national debt, effected by
the issue of four per cent. bonds in lieu of
six per cent. bonds during the last three
months, he would renounoe all connection

start 10 life as an aristocratie. GreenbackeT

its name to such items, while Nationalist

Letting him Down Easy.

1t is really amusing to note the Unions
efforts to let the States Attorney down
easy, in the Drake embezzlement case.
The prosecution have fought this case to
its fullest extent, leaving nothing undone
that would bring about conviction, and
yesterday, when the case was called, the
states attorney entered into the matter as
if conviction were an assured fact. Dur
ing his argument, and at times during the
trial, Mr.. KsnworthV, counsel for the de-
PENDANT, repeatedly called attention to
the malicious nature of the prosecution;
that Sloan, Johnson & Co. we're actuated
purely by malice, and that the prosecu-
ton wanted a conviction, just or unjust.
To offset this charge, Mr.. johnson. acting
under instructions from the prosecuting
attorney. went over and shook hands with
Drake, for effect, purely. This is al
there is to the item In the Union about the
cordial feeling" 1t is all right to apollo
giZe,
