BASEBALL.
The League Race Becoming Exciting
The Work and Standing Of the
Eight Clubs.

During tho past week no changes of note
have taken place in the positions of either
the League or Association clubs. In the
former, Detroit still leads in games won,
Chicago comes second, and New York third.
In the Association, ST. Louis has too strong
u lead for any of the clubs to catch up,
while Louisville has secured second place
to almost n certainty. 1t is settled that st.
Louis will not be represented in the League
another season, Mr.. Lucas having already
disposed OF his franchise; but the club will
probably finish its schedule for this season
in some kind of shape, as it would materi-
ally affect the positions of some of the
leading clubs should it fail to do SC.
The following tables show the standing
of the clubs in both associations:

went by the overland route to California,
staying there until 1866, when he returned
to Madison. In 1853 he was elected as
Democrat, Clerk of the Circuit Court Of
his county. in 1861 he enlisted as n pri-
vate in the Governors Guards, of Madison,
and went ont with the three months men.
He was made Captain of the company, and
soon after refused the Lieutenant Colo
nelcy, offered him by Gov. Randall, feel
ing himself incompetent to fill it. In
August, 1851, he was appointed by Presi-
dent Lincoln as Captain of the Sixteenth
regulars, and about the same time Major
in the Second Wisconsin Infantry by Gov.
Randall. He accepted both positions and
obtained leave of absence TO serve in the
volunteer regiment. Shortly afterward he
was made Lieutenant Colonel, and as his
superior officer was in ill-heath he really
commanded the regiment most of the time.
His regiment formed part of the "Iron
Brigade" May 3, 1863, he was made staff
officer under Gen. Wadsworth. At Gettys-
burg, during the first days fight, Col Fair
child had his left arm so badly shattered
that amputation near the shoulder became
necessary. After his recovery he was
nominated for Secretary of State by the
Union Convention of Wisconsin, and re-
signed his position as Brigadier General,
to which he had in the meantime been ap-
pointed, to make the canvass. He was
elected. In 1865 he was nominated for and
elected Governor. In 1867 and 1869 he
was reelected. In 1872 he was made Con-
sui at Liverpool, serving until 1878, when
he was made Consul General for France.
In 1880 he was made Minister to Spain. In
1882 he resigned his post and returned to
Madison, and was received by his fellow
citizens with an outburst of the greatest en-
thusiasm. Since then he has devoted his
time to his family affairs and the education
of his children

ovERWoRKING THE BRAIN.

Brain Workers should Have Large Re-
serve Of Energy
Our article is suggested by one in The
Lancet on ~The Wear and Tear of Lon
don Life" and we shall appropriate some
Of its thoughts. Brain work, even in its
highest forms, involves purely physical
acts as truly as does that Of the muscles
of the stomach. Excessive thought
means crebral hyperemia as inevitably
as excess in the use of gastric stimu-
LIANT means active congestion OF the
mucous membranes of the stomach, and
Just as habitual use of too irritating food
and drink may induce passive congestion
in the intervals, or the sequel of active
congestion of the gastric organ. so may
too persistent and excessive brain work
tend to the production of chronic en-.
gorgement of the vessels of the enceph.

development of disorders of brain and

in some respects brilliant. have con

prolonged brain work, and are almos'

try, even more than in England, that
brain workers should have a large re-
serve Of energy, and capacity for pro

the demands of exceptional exigencies. In
our country many enter the professions
who are naturally equal to routine work,
but are wholly unequal to the strains Of
competition and to the multiplied anG
varied demands which so characterize
our times. They constantly and peril
ously strike the limits of their congenital
capacity.
1t is equally so in mercantile life. Not
