HOW the Clubs ia the Two Leagues
amd the American Association
stand on Aug. 1.
The chief event in the Northwestern
league the past week was the unsuccessful
attempt of MI. Ted Sullivan to transfer his
Milwaukee team to West st. Paul. Had
the several managers allowed this arrange
ment to be consumated the league would
not have lived the season out. Finding
that lie could not get his team into West
st. Paul, Mr.. Sullivan has wisely con-
Guided to strengthen it and play ball in
such way as to meet popular favor in
Milwaukee. The struggle for the penuant
is growing more interesting every day, St.
Paul having pulled up within four games
of Duluth, and it is settled that no club
will have a walk-away for first place. In
or Duluth will win. Many peopleswho
have seen all the clubs play are of the
opinion that Eau Claire is the strongest
team in the league. All of the clubs.
with one exception, are much stronger now
than at the opening of the season. Duluth
is considerably weaker. WatSon'S arm
gavs out and he was released, Baldwin has
lost much of his effectiveness and Cody has
been too lame much of the time to play.
The team has never been strong in the field.
Reid at second and Mcmillan at short do
much bungling work. The plain fact is
that had it not been for hard hitting and
marvellous luck the Zenith City club would
not now be in a better place than third
This week the Minnesota teams will con-
tinue to play with one another, St. Paul
playing in Minneapolis to-day and Wednes-
day, and in Duluth on Sunday. Mime
apolis will play in st. Paul on Tuesday and
in Duluth Friday and Saturday. Eau
Claire will play at Milwaukee to-day and
at heme with Milwaukee ON Thursday and
Friday. Milwaukee will play at Oshkosh
On Monday and Tuesday. The record of
the clubs to date is as follows:

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The river and
harbor bill is dead as smelt. The confer
ence report putting back Hennepin, Port
age and Sturgeon Bay canals was the SUBJ
ject of study by Speaker Randall and
Chairman Willis of the river and harbor
committee last night. 1t is understood that
Speaker Carlisle saw the president and it
was decided to save the president the I'M
pleasant course of vetoing the bill with the
canal features left in. Willis course in the
house was taken in obedience to Carlisle's
instructions. Congressman Jere Murphy of
Iowa called On the speaker at the first op-
portunity and told him with very emphatic
plainness. in what was said to be a stormy
Interview, that Northwestern Democrats
would never again vote Tor him as
speaker. and if they had a chance tomorrow

ST. LOUIS. July 31.-About o'clock
this morning the residents in the vicinity
of 1875 Preston place were awakened by
the report of a pistol shot fired in the hall
of the residence of Solomon Myers, an
elderly gentleman Of over 60 years. He
was awakened at the above time by an I'M
usual noise in the basement, and at once
proceeded to investigate. While passing
through the lower hall he was confronted
by white man and burly negro, who,
without warning. drew revolver and fired.
The bullet entered Mr.. Myers breast and
inflicted a dangerous although not neces-
sarily fatal wound. Both of the burglars
escaped. Mr.. Myers is well known in

The Western National league teams
struck the Atlantic teams on Wednesday
and each played four games. Of these De-
troit won four and Chicago, st. Louis and
Kansas City one each. Detroit has lead
of five games over Chicago, and the latter
has now to consider not so much whether
it will win the pennant as how to keep New
York from getting into second place, Nam
ager Mutrie is still anxious to wager that
the Giants will prove the league winners,
but they have plenty of work to do to get
ahead of Anson's team without giving the
Detroit hard hitters any attention 1t is
pretty safe to guess that Detroit will take the
championship. although an accident to
crack pitcher at this critical moment would
be likely to throw the victory to another
club. The record to date is given below:

Taylor, chairman of the Republican State
Central committee has been in the city fol

Harshaw, Taylor, Sanderson, and several

this city, was held for the purpose of adj
justing differences arising out of the dis
puted treasurership. Harshaw had come
down to see if the obstacle mentioned in
Sawyer's letter could not be removed.
Taylor had come to help Harshaw. The
meeting was strictly private. Although
none of the parties present will talk it is

Eldred does not want the treasurership.

In the presence of more than two thou

of to at the West Seventh street base
ball park yesterday. With the general
bracing up that the Minneapolis team has
had since it met the Capital City team be-
fore. close game was expected, and bets
were to be had each way at about even
money. SowderS, whose phenomenal
pitching of Wednesday was not noticeable
on Friday. was not in the box. but Yng-
ling, recently signed. a lightweight in ap-
pearance. was in the box and Shafer was
behind the bat YiIgling pitched game that
might be called good. but not phenomenal.
Eight hits were made off him. and he
struck out six men. Duryea pitched for
the home team and but four men hit safely,
one, however. Sowders, in the second in
ming putting the ball outside the park and
taking four bases. The game was close
and interesting throughout. In the first
inning hit by Murphy, base ON balls to
Shafer and an error gave Minneapolis
run and a run made on hit by Rhue,
stolen base and an inexcusable bad throw
by Cleveland melted two more runs for the
visitors. These proved to be all that they
were to be allowed and during the last
seven innings no Minneapolis man saw
home-plate. St Paul made one run,
on hits by Jevne and Wilmot
i'll the third inning, and then
until the seventh inning the score stood to
l against them. In the seventh three errors
at critical points, a safe hit and good base
running allowed the home team to get in
three runs. In the eighth three hits by
Sage, Duryea and Tray and base on balls
to Jevne brought three more. Sage dis
tinguished himself by making two timely
safe hits. The fielding as a rule was good
by both teams. An unusually large num-
Der of men went out on fly catches and the
Outfeld was especially well covered Early
