Boston, May 10.-The first league game
of the season was played here this afternoon be-
tween the Boston and St Louis Clubs in the
presence of 5000 spectators. The home club

and double by Sutton, scored two
runs in the first inning-one earned They
were BANKED until the sixth, when Bufinton
made drive to center field and came home on
Morrills two-baser. In the seventh, Hackett

earned, in the first, on singles by Dunlap and
Sweeney and double by Shafer; in the third on
hits by Shafer, Sweeney and Lewis, the latter
for two bases A wild pitch by Whitney and a
muff off Sutton gave them two more runs The
fielding from this on until the ninth inning was
very sharp. Boyle hit hard and took two bags,
and came home on Buffinton's muf. Following

New YORK, May 1L-There was another
large Gro wd at the Polo grounds to-day when
the Chicago nine met the New YorKs for the
first time this season. The clubs stood even and
ahead on the record before the game. Four
thousand four hundred and eighteen persons
paid for admission to the grounds. The game
was a hard hitting contest, and there were many
fielding errors. The home club hit the ball
everywhere, and won rather easily, though the
base running was bad. Following is the score:

that Pul-i-khatum be the trysting
place instead Of SaralLhS, as before
agreed. The English government de
clined TO accede To this. The Russians
then urged that there be a definition
of the zone of survey before the COM
mission began its work. The Eng
iish insisted that this matter must be
decided by the commission on the
spot. In December the Russians first
learned that the English government
did not regard Penjdeh and Pul-i-kha-
tuu. as outside the territory OF Afghan
istau. and N. Lessar was sent To Eng
land to explain what Russia regarded
as the AfghauistuE territory. In Jan
uary the Afghuns made further ad-
vance, throwing force toward Sari-
EGZi, in spite OF the warning that il
they continued to be aggressive the
Russians would advance TO Pul-i-khis-
Ii. The Russian government protest
ed to London, and advanced Ler line.
The English government, misled by "a
mistaken conception o. the facts, de-
mauded the witildra wal of the Rus
sian troops. The Russians declined,
and the demand was not urged.
The latest English proposal is, sing
ularly enough. practically that made
by the Russians last autumn, suggest
ing for the southern line OF the zone
uf survey the frontier claimed by Rus
STA uud for the northern that which
England held TO he the proper bOun-
Diary. that Is, line drawn from Shir-
tape on the Heri-rud to &ari-yazi on
the Murghah. The Russian answer
10 this, though known to ue couciiia-
tory and pacific, has not been official
ly received, and the present prospect
is very favorable 10 an avoidance OF
war. even though it may est some
sidelong reflections upon English ar
rogance. This is what the trouble is
about.

FOR SCIENTIFIC POINTS ONLY

The Commonwealth, not content with
Ats fight on the temperance laws Of the
state, seeks further TO embarrass the
administration Of Governor Marun, by
publishing a letter from some hoodIum
at Dodge City, who subscrlbes himself
"Taurus, " This fellow pounces upon the
Governor for not permitting the prize
fight between Sullivan and Ryan TO take
place at Dodge City lie says il was
only a soft glove encounter for scien-
tific points only" and adds That 1.-The
contest met with general favor here with
all classes, none being TOO sensitive or
delicately constituted to even object to
witnessing the set-to." When we take
into consideration the fact that Dodge
City has heretofore boosted of her sa-
looms, her lewd women, and even raked
up an old fashioned bull fight, we are
prepared to believe the latter statement.
But Dodge City will not be permitted 10
construct a Little Sodom of her own in
the state of Kansas, no matter how
@--N'~-A ~AAD LA4st WISH 81 ~ no nor CAN
the assistance of the Commonwealth
avail her anything in that role.
What does it matter il the fight he
speaks of was merely a 'soft glove con.

tific points, should not be permitted t,
stain the fair land of Kansas with rheii

indeed. If the people of Dodge City
would study the science Of decency anC
civilization instead OF fist-cuffs and bull
fights, they would more nearly identity
themselves with the nineteenth century
The word Taurus" signifies u bull, anC
we will wager a new hat that the writer
of that article in the Commonwealth
selected a very appropriate nam q,
lot't" 2, for he has already exhibited BY
his bulliozing attributes that he partake
OF the qualities Of Taurus.
The fact is Gov. Martins action in no
permitting Dodge City to again disgrace
herself, will meet with the appreciation
of every law abiding citizen Of the state
