BASE BALL,


The Active players have been released for
the season.
The Actives will have more Californians
next season.
Morris and Carroll have gone to Califor-
mia for the winter.
Hubbard will play no more with the Ath-
1etic Club this fall.
The Providence club play their first game
this season with the Athletics on Friday at
Philadelphia.
The Harrisburg club joined in the re ep-
ton of the Athletic club in Philadelphia on
Monday evening.
John Kelly, of New York, is to umpire all
the games the Athletics play with League
teams this month.
Morrill, has first base average of 973;
Phillips, .972; Farrar, .970; Start, 966;
Brouthers, 1866; Connor, 1854, and Powell,
952.
Boston offered Richardson, Buffalo's Sec
ond baseman, g., 500 to play in Boston next
year, but Buffalo would not give hum his re-
lease.
Two Harrisburg base ball men are said to
have attempted suicide by drowning last
Saturday night while intoxicated. The
chilly water made them think better of it,
however, ard they "swam out" without as
sistauce.
According to the League averages the
strongest batting team would be: Bennett,
catcher; Radbourn, pitcher; Brouthers, first
base; Buld0ck, second base; Sutton, third
base; Irwin, short stop; Q'Rourke, left field;
Gore, centre field; Mai ming, right field. The
best fielding nine would comprise Bennett,
catcher; Whitney, pitcher; Morrill,, first base;
Farrell, second base; Sutton, third base;
Glasscock, short stop; Hornung, left field;
Hines, centre field; Evans, right field.
On account OF the mixed up condition of
the record OF games played by the clubs in
the Interstate Association, It is difficult to
obtain an accurate record of the various
clubs and to decide which team is justly en-
titled to its claim of superiority. There is a
general impression In this city that the Har
rieburg club can present the best team.
The Brooklyns must be the only competi-
tors to this claim. In order to settle the
question of superiority between the two
clubs the directors of the Harrisburg club
are willing to arrange a series of five games
with the Brooklyns on terms to be mutually
agreed upon. Such a contest would un-
| doubtedly excite great interest In the two
cities -HdrrisbUrg Patriot.

AMUsEM ENTs.


John F. Ward, the Irish comedian, will
appear on Tuesday evening next in "Top
o. the Morning"
On Friday evening the "Two Johns"
Comedy Company will appear. The play
is full of funny incidents, and those who
have not laughed for some time should not
fail to 90.
The finest opera of the season will be
given on Saturday evening by the Hess
English Opera Company. The opera se-
lected In the Bohemian Girl" which is one
of the finest of all operas.
This evening those prime favorites,
Thatcher, Primrose and Vests Minstrels,
will appear in the Opera House, and there is
no doubt but that they will be greeted by
large audience. The company is composed
of some of the leading performers in the
country. Here is what the Post of Wash
ington of September 11th, has to say about
them: Thatcher, Primrose and Vests min
strels who opened last night at 'Ford's, are
without doubt the best company Of the kind
that has ever appeared In Washington-not
excepting the MastodoHs and Megatherians,
of which we used to hear so much. Thatcher
and his specialties is not necessary to men
ton, but the singing of Howard and the ex-
| tremely funny act of Carl Rankins are
equally strong attractions. There is a com
pleteness and finish about the troupe which
Is charming, and which extends to the Or
chestration and dancing. The packed house
of last evening will doubtless be the rule for
the week. The same company appears In
Baltimore September oath.

Wood. The house in which John resided
was a mere frame hovel and was well sit

of selling whiskey to the thirsty Maryland

failed to comply with both the United States
and State laws in the matter; in short, he
failed to procure licenses for dispensing the
fiery liquid.
His actions soon came to the notice of U.

plans for the capture OF Wood.

an inhuman outrage, perpetrated worth
less ex-convict named Patrick Smith,
who succeeded In enticing the child
into the woods by offering her five cents.
and there contaminated his fendish pur-
pose. The child's mother, who was search.

Smith, who fed at her approach. Officers
and citizens are securing the woods and
country for miles in search of the guilty
man, and should he be captured he will

Our Shoe stock was never

what we know about shoes
with the. greatest pleasure and
you won't get tripped up on
what we tell you. Then when
you're ready to buy you will
know all you need to know
about the make and the chances
with the various goods before
you. Nothing like choosing
intelligently. We don't want
any customer in the da'k.

If you are in search of a

low in price, we can show you
all styles of ladies' American
Kid Shoes from $1.50 up A
large lot of this variety are
now displayed which we are
selling at bargains at 81. so, the
regular prices of which are
SO SO and $500. AS we have
only a limited number OF these
bargain shoes an early selection
is advised.
GEO. D. CLELAND.
In Mems Shoes much can
be said. The present genteel
style is the wide toe, OF which
we're selling large numbers, is
particularly neat. Strange that
it should be so hard to get the
young men out OF the habit of
wearing the narrow toed hoes
when they are virtua ly out OF
style. Bannister's shoes are
all made on the wide toe last.
They are the finest ready-made
shoe in the market and give
entire satisfaction. Stacy,
Adams & Co.'S shoes are also
much sought after on account
of their cheapness combined
with their really good quality.
