SPORTING.
BASE BALL.
The New Yorks Again Defeated. Which
Practically Settles the Championship.
CHICAGO. Sent. 30.

CHICAGO, Sept. 80.
There was an indescribable scene of tu-
multuOus cheering aud hat swinging at the
White Stocking Base Ball Park this after
noon at the close of the ninth inning, when
IT was certain victory had again perched on
the banner of the home team giving them an
almost undisputed claim TO the pennapt.
They defeated the New York stalwarts by a
score of TO | with one inning TO spare. The
attendance was IL 800 and thus despite the
sky which constantly threatened rain the au-
dience was kept clear of the field and couse-
quently no ground rules were necessary.
The Chicagos scored their runs in the fourth
and seventh innings, both OF which were
earned. The first was made by two base
hit from Dalrymple's bat. followed by a one
base hit by Gore bringing in Dalrymple. In
the seventh inning, with two men out,
Pfetfer scored clean home run, sending the
ball over the right field fence.
The New York team scored their run in
the ninth inning when the shadows were
thickening very fast on two successive throws
TO Anson on the first base from the in field,
he being unable to see the ball and failing to
geti
The game was splendid contest and up to
the ninth inning was perfectly played, what
ever errors occurred being credited on the
Chicago side to the battery The contest
was exciting at every point and the score was
kept so low that clean base hit at four or
five stages of the game would have turned
the tide in either direction. Five of the New
York side died on bases for the need OF a
clean hit, while the Chicagos had only one
keefe, for the New Workers, pitched without
single error and was batted for five hits
for total of nine bases, while the New York
batsmen confined themselves to five hits for
as many totals. Cleaner fielding than was
exhibited by the New Yorks was not possible
some of the out-field plays being remarkably
brilliant, but on the part of the Chicagos no
resulting errors occurred until the last in
ming when they were excusable and almost
unavoidable. The New Workers lost the toss
and were sent to the bat. Following is the
detailed score:

One Was Injured.

CHICAGO, Sept. 80
Early this morning Jorge four story build
in the rear of Dake bakery at 10 Clark street
Chicago, suddenly began creaking like ship
in heavy sea, and soon the posts began
sinking through the floors. Men working in
the basement Of the bakery fled for their
lives. An alarm of fire was rung in and
while the alley was crowded with firemen and
policemen looking for the fire. the walls sud
denly fell in with a terrible crash. The
bricks fell in and bad they fallen outward a
large loss of life would undoubtedly have
occurred.
Two sides of the building still stand and
are propped up by the adjoining buildings
The floors have all caved in. The loss is es-
timated to be about s60, 900, as the contents
of the building were very valuable, there
being $4,000 worth of dessicated egg alone
in one part. The second floor was stored
with flour, On the third floor there was a
large machine shop with valuable plant.
The fourth floor was dey oted to the mauufac-
ture of printing rollers. No one was injured.

Report of the Committee Appointed to
Investigate the Postal Service in New
York and BrOOklyn-AnOther Civil
Service Commissioner Resigns.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.
The committee appointed by Postmaster
General Villas to investigate the postal SER
vice at New York and Brooklyn have sub
mitted report. The Brooklyn post office
was found far behind the age in the matter
of handling mails, the methods in vogue be-
ing slow and erroneous to a remarkable de-
gree and the system of distribution being
neither modern or intelligent. Branch of
fees massed the mail in the main Office which
passed it over to the New York office for dis
trlbution and dispatch, thus causing delay
and errors. The committee believes that the
clerks in the immediate charge of distribu-
ton and dispatch of mails are not qualified
for the work and that no correct and expe-
ditous service can be looked for in the of
flee until some changes are made and new
life and vigor introduced into the mailing
division. More rigid discipline and modern
methods Of education in the handling of mail
must be adopted or the service will continue
to be a reproach to postotiice department and
imposition on the patrons of the office. Va
riOus improvements are recommended. The
committee think some competent postoffice
inspector should have supervision for the
present over the Brooklyn postotfice, making
frequent visits there and insisting that re-
forms, so much desired. shall be carried out
properly and in good faith. The service in
New York city was found to be excellent
