Chicago =. Detroit I.

CHICAGO, July 10.-The greatest game
of base ball ever played in Chicago was
that of this afternoon between the Chicago
and Detroit clubs, and the interest of the
16, GOO people was intense. The Chicagos
played in absolutely perfect style, and the
visitors were not one one whit behind. The
batting was in Chicago's favor to the extent
Of seven hits, with total of fourteen bases,
while Clarkson held the visitors down to
five hits for total of seven, owing to Rich
ardsen's three-bagger, which was properly
home run, but he was held at third by
Hanlon to keep Clarkson on his nerve.
The excitement in the last half of the last
inning, when Richardson hit three-bag-
ger and was followed by a base-hit by
Thompson, was intense. Every nerve was
strung to its utmost, and when the last man
was put out by Pfeffer, the result was one
grand howl of victory. Never in the his.
tory OF the game in this city has the excite
ment been equaled. Some grand fielding
was done on both sides. and Sunday bears
off the palm for fine work. Then comes
Flint and Pfetfer with double play. The
score is as follows:

Special to the Globe.
EasDULUTH, Mimi, July 10.-A prize fight
with bare knuckles took place in a secluded
spot near Germantown about eight miles
from Duluth between Dave Mcpherson of
West Superior and Barney Smith of this
place. Smith claimed Mcpherson could
not knock him out, but would not stake
more than SIS. Mcpherson accepted.
Yesterday afternoon the puguIists and
select crowd OF sports repaired to the bat
tleheld. A ring was formed, and the men
went at it. In the first round Smith was
badly punished, and showed plainly
that he could not stand before Mcpherson,
although in the second round he came up
smiling and seemingly confident of winning.
After little sparring Mcpherson landed
some very heavy blows on Smiths face and
sent him to the grass. and when the third
round was called he failed to come to time.
Mcpherson was then declared the victor.
So far the police have not arrested the prin-
elpes or witnesses, but are waiting for
them.

North. western geaxse Record.

Present indications are that the North
western league contest will be a very inter-
esting one. Duluth, to be sure, has long
lead over the other five teams, but its per-
centage has been constantly dropping of
late, and the Zenith City team must look
well to its laurels, else the pennant will go
to some other city. Duluth iust two games
out Of four during the week, and won the
other two by a single score through fortunes
favor. Eau Claire confessed three games,
winning them all. and climbed from fourth
place to second. st. Paul lost three
ont Of four and went down peg, while
Milwaukee dropped 10 fourth place, taking
but one of four. Oshkosh took two Of
four, while Minneapolis got down to ball
playing and took three out Of five, two of
them from Duluth, and barely failed to WIN
the other two. Minneapolis is getting some
new players, and is striving, not to force
some other team to sixth place, but to get
away with the pennant Interesting de-
velopments are expected in the next two
weeks. The record to date Is given below:

A Truce Probable.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-Another meeting of
the Western passenger agents was held
to-day. The Rock Island offers to pool
the passenger business both to Council
Bluffs and st. Paul. AS this road is very
strong at Council Bluffs and very weak at
st. Paul, and as the Chicago. Milwaukee g.
st. Paul is just the other way, weak at
Council Bluffs and strong at St. Paul. the
proposition, tits thought, may be accepted.
The matter is still in allegiance. The gen.
eral managers got together at p. m. and
then, after brief discussion, adjourned to
next Tuesday. They were very non-com-
initial. but certain of the officials predicted
that there would be at least temporary
truce to the railroad war next week.

sovvaers Proves u Puzzler.

Minneapolis and Oshkosh met yesterday
afternoon at Minneapolis, for the first Of
their third series of games and the result
was an earned victory for the home team.
Sowders, the phenomenal pitcher, bent
down to his work and fourteen men struck
out. Rocks was the only Oshkosh man
who failed to fan the air, but his hits were
little fellows, and he was easily thrown
out. Weber supported Sowders in fine
style, playing without an error. Harper
pitched an ordinarily sgood game, but
Minneapolis got on to his delivery and
pounded out seven hits, Crooks leading
with two hits, one of which. with an error,
yielded one run. Oshkosh began its run
getting in the first inning, Roche getting
1lrst by being hit by pitched ball; he stole
second and third and came home on a wild
pitch, the next three men going out in one,
two. three order. In the fifth inning Hoy
got first on Scheffer's error, stole second
and was thrown out at third by
Weber. Gastfeld got his base on
balls, stole second and third, and came
home on wild pitch. the next two striking
out. In the seventh inning, after Ingra-
ham had struck out, Vandyke hit for two
bases and came home on Foley's error, the
two men following striking out. Until the
two men each inning.
MINNEAPOLIS SCORED
in the second inning. After Foley had
been thrown out at first. Crooks raised the
bail for two bases, and went to third on
wild pitch. Rhue got first on balls and
stole second. Sowders sent fly to center
field which Vandyke dropped. Crooks
scored and Bishop muffed Vandyke's
throw. letting Rhue and Sowders score.
Lynch struck out, and though Weber bat
ted safe, he was left on Murphy's out to
first. In the fifth inning, Lynch led OFF
with safe single, Webber struck out, and
Lynch started for second; Gastfield threw
the ball nearly to the lumber pile and he
scored. Murphy hit safely, stole second
and brought in an earned run on Scheffer's
safe hit. ORourke and Foley followed
with outs. On the whole it was very
pretty game. though evidently pitchers
game. Gastfeld, the new high priced
catcher for Oshkosh, made several frightfuI
throws to second and struck out two out Of
the three times he went to bat. His gen
eral work behind the bat was excellent

OFFERED an ARMY POST.
Chicago Anxious for Troops to b.
Chartered at Tint Town.

WASHINGTON. July 10.-The chair laid
secretary of war with the report of the
board of army officers on the subject of a
site on Lake Michigan, near Chicago, tend
cred by the Commercial club of that city as
site for military purposes, and requesting
legislation authorizing the government to
accept the same. Referred.
THE CHICAGO TALE.
CHICAGO, July 10.-The prospect that
Chicago is to have regular army post is
now thought to be assured. The secretary
OF war has transmitted to congress the
proposition of the Commercial club
of Chicago to donate land on the
shores Of Lake Michigan for the pur-
pose. Secretary Endicott's action is in
accordance with Gen. Sheridans report,
and an effort will be made to secure action
by congress this season. The proposition
referred to was made to the secretary by a
number Of prominent and wealthy citizens
OF Chicago who had obtained options on
various tracts of land in the vicinity of the
south and north shores and elsewhere, and
a military commission was appointed con-
Sisting of Gen. P. II. Sheridan. Gen. A.
II. Terry and Col. j. G. G. Lee, to examine
the various sites which were included in
the proposition. They made careful sur
vey OF the different points and finally con-
cluded TO recommend Hollywood, on the
Milwaukee division of the Chicago 81
Northwestern railroad. Attention was first
directed to these grounds by officers of the
Illinois state troops and the governor was
urged to obtain them as permanent camp
for The Illinois national guards For some
reason the state camp was located in the
vicinity OF Springfield. The tract of land
selected consists Of 460 acres, having q
frontage on the lake shore aud standing
about 200 feet above the level OF Lake
Michigan. The surroundings are charming.
the drainage perfect the air pure and IN
vigorating and on the whole no more de-
sirable spot could have been chosen for the
purpose. There are mineral wells on the
tract and the ground is cut here and there
into picturesque ravineS which make the
spot singularly attractive. The plans for
the post have been prepared under tho d.
rection OF the chief Quartermaster of this
division. The buildings constituting the
military post Will be substantial brick
structures and will comprise the usual bar
racks and quarters for officers, a commits
Sary store house, hospital magazine, guard
house, etc. The details of the plans will
not be known until congress acts upon the
secretary'S recommendation and makes the
necessary appropriation. There would be
ten companies of infantry stationed at the
post and one section 1.-TWO companies) of
light artillery. This would be over 1, 100
men beside officers. The post would be
under command Of a colonel

How 1t Failed to Get Place in the
Deficiency Bill.

Special to tho Globe.
WASHINGTON. July 10,-The we'll laid
plans of the house employees for grab of q
months extra pay appeared last night to
have been successful beyond danger of q
reverse, and number Of them celebrated
their victory over those whom they sneer-
ingly called the economical statesmen"
But now their souls are filed with grief. for
the visions of fat salary grab have fed.
The action of the house upon the amend
ment to the general deficiency bill granting
months extra pay to employees of the
house and the official reporters and the police
or the capitol building was reversed to-day
in very unexpected manner. When the
final vote about to be taken upon the pass
age OF the bill, Mr.. Burns Of Missouri an
nounced that although he had drawn the
bill and had charge of it during it's SUISSE
Quent stages, he could not conscentiously
vote for its passage, because it contained
an amendment
GIVING AWAY. 70 employees
some $50, 900 or $40, 600 which they had not
earned. He would feel that he had dis
honored his constituents if he should give
his assent to the principle of that amend
ment. This prepared the way for Messrs.
Hemphill Of South Carolina, Reagan Of
Texas, Price of Wisconsin, and McAdoo Of
New Jersey, who made short and vigorous
speeches against the salary grab, which
EemphilI said was based upon precisely the
same principle as if members should vote
themselves extra pay. Those who favored
the allowance of extra pay did not think it
was necessary to say anything in reply, be-
lieving that the matter was settled. but
Reagan moved to recommit the bill with
instructions to strike out the amendment in
regard to extra pay. and demanded vote
by roll call. The result was the adoption
of Reagan's motion by a vote of $50 to 81.
The conscienbes OR fears of members had
been awakened since yesterday when there
were 11S voted for the salary grab and los
against it. The total number of members
voting was nearly the same on both occa-
sions, so that forty-fve changed their mind
upon reflection. Within few minutes the
bill. with the amendment cut out, was re-
ported back and passed with little show Of
fight on the part of those who had been the
champions of the job.
