SULLIVAN'S AMBITION.
The Worlds Champion Wants to
Run for Congress.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE Sun this
afternoon publishes letter from John
l.. Sullivan, in which he announces his
intention of running for congress on
the Democratic ticket. 1t is his ambi-
ton to represent Boston district. and
he states that with such high ambition,
he trusts he will in the future make his
life what 1t ought to be. In his letter,
he says that any man who doubts his
popularity with the American people,
has only got to travel about with him
and get rid of his doubts. Sullivan
does not doubt his qualifications, as he
says in concluding his letter to the Sun:
In my travels about this country and
Europe have had as much experience in
public speaking as most people. I'll have no
trouble about getting a hearing in congress
or in making people pay attention to what i
say. A man who can quiet a crowd in Madi-
son Square garden as have done, can make
his presence felt in congress or anywhere
else on earth. therefore announce now my
willingness to enter political life. This COM
munieation, drawn up in consultation with
friends, and with their advice, is the longest
that have ever addressed to any paper. l
shall be obliged to you if you will print it.
Yours truly,
JONI L. SULLIVAN,
Champion of the World.
Sullivan, who is i'm the city, was seen
by reporter in regard to the above.
He said there was no more to add.
II shall certainly accept the nomination."
he continued, IF rendered, and l shall GER
tainly look to the interest of those who send
me there. have had as much experience
in public speaking during my travels as most
people. I'll have no trouble about getting
hearing in congress. l shall. of course, give
up the boxing business. AS a congressman
could not, of course, continue to be pro-
fessional pugilist. My reputation is made.
The cropping up of new fighters can't inlure
me. and their challenges won't worry. l
shall go through with my six weeks exhibit
ton, put my money away carefully. and at
tend exclusively to my political career
Now that my mother is dead there is
no one depending on me but my father
and he is well cared for. He has six
houses in his own name, which will
keep him in comfort to the end of his
days. | have brought him on with me
from Boston, because can't leave him
alone to worry over my mothers death.
It's harder for him than for me after
to his brother, 'istep up and
ask the old gentleman to come
down." Mr.. Sullivan Sr. came
down and was affectionately intro
duced by his son as the little father of
big boy. He is an unusually small
man, and forms most striking con-
trast with his son, celebrated all over
the world for being just the reverse of
small. Curiously enough, while Sulli-
van was talking of his future political
aspirations, as revealed in his letter of
Sept. 5. a friend of his, now in congress,
dropped in to see him to express SYM
pathy at his mothers death, and to say
that he would be glad to do all he could
ty help Sullivan out of his trouble down
South.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE st. Louis
champions forfeited to-day's game to the
Bridegrooms during the home teams
last turn at the bat. Clark at the time
was on second, with no one out, when
Comiskey ordered his players off the
field. The Is, 143 spectators began to
hOot them and also ran on the field, but
the Brooklyn players chased every one
off quickly. By that time thousands of
the spectators were going out of the
gate. At the end of the sixth inning,
when the visitors were in the lead, they
began clamor for the game to be
called. and upon every decision after
that there was kick. Umpire Gold
smith kept filming the st. Louis men, but
with little effect. The Brooklyn club
will insist upon the 81 800 fine being i'm
posed on St. Louis. Two or three st.
Louis players were roughly handled
after the game. Score:

Mike Kelly played little trick on Tiernan
during the New York-Boston game, Aug. 30
on the Polo grounds, that caused laugh on
the latter. 1t was in the seventh inning, and
Tiernan had hit the ball over in the free seats
in right field. The hit was good for a home
run. but Kelly ran over and diyed down as
though he was picking up the ball, ana then
started on a run as if to throw the ball home
Tiernan was stopped on third until it was
seen that Kelly was only "bluffing," as he
did not have the ball. Tiernan trotted home
and Kelly returned to the free seats in quest
of the ball.
In the seventh inning of the Pittsburg In

POLO IN ST. PAUL.
An Attempt Being Made to Intro
duCe 1t Here.

Polo has for years been recognized in
England, as we'll as in the East, as one
. of the most difficult and scientific of
outdoor sports, and from the very
nature of the game is full of excite
ment, and hence more interesting to the
(audience as well as the players than
any other field sport. For several years
the members of the English colonies at
Sfbleg and lie Mars, To-, have been the
only ones to indulge in polo in the West,
and with the exceptions noted the
game has not been seen west of New
York. Polo has been for years, and is
season at Newport. Boston has caught
the fever, and this year its club has eX-
pended $4,000 in fitting up grounds.
There is a strong movement on
foot to organize a polo club
in st. Paul, and there is no reason why
we should not have rattling good team
here and give the sport hold in this
section. Our Western ponies are adj
mirably adapted for the game, both in
speed and endurance. Our eXhilarating
climate is famous for outdoor sport, and
no city has more athletic class of
young men. There are several old and
experienced polo players in this city,
who are anxious to see the club estab-
lished, and with that end in view c. w.
Benson, a most enthusiastic admirer of
the game, invited number of his Eng
lish friends from Sibley to come to st.
Paul during the Fair to play sew ex-
hibition games in order to expedite the
formation of the proposed club.

The twins tried conclusions again at
the Minneapolis ball park yesterday,
and the Apostles went down before the
superior playing of the home team,
though they made a desperate rally in
the eighth, and, assisted materially by
Duke. nearly succeed in tying the score,
Duke was in the box for Minneapolis,
and as usual when he was good, he was
very good, and when he was bad, he was
horrid. In the sixth inning he struck
out Murphy, Carroll and Hawes, the
eminent ball killers, in such quick sue
ceSsion that the grand stand, cheered
him to the echo, In the eighth. he hit
one man, gave another base on balls,
threw the ball at the sky twice and, let
in three runs. On the whole he pitched
a splendid game, and gave st. Paul but
nine hits for ten bases, and one of those
a scratch by Murphy, who sent
bounder over Dukes head just too high
for him to field. Minneapolis, on the
other hand, took quite kindly to young
Viau and razzled him for three home
runs, two doubles and three singles.
netting six runs. MeDermOtt umplred
very satisfactorily, and kindly refrained
from repetition of the tragic fit of cpl
lepsy that attacked him when he was
last seen on the Minneapolis grounds.
Minneapolis failed to score until the
fourth inning, when McVey'S two
bagger and Tuckerman's tumble of
grOunder by Hanrahan let in run. In the
fifth the MilleTs scored again on two
bases on balls, hit by Hengle and an
error by Hawes. In the sixth Duke
went to the bat first and popped the ball
over the right field fence after having
two strikes called on him. In the eighth
Dugdale hit little one to Reilly. who
threw at the man in the moon; the
sphere fell among some small boys who
had fun with it. Dugdale ran around
to third where the ball had already been
consigned by Carroll. McDermott had
his head with him, however, and ad-
tiSed Reilly to return the block ball to
the pitcher before putting anybody out.
With Dugdaie on third, Hudson. who
had distinguished himself by three rum
ming catches in right. Smacked the ball
out of time and over the fence. In the
ninth, with two men out, Viau, who
had evidently been told that Hanrahan
wouldn't hit the ball ii it was handed to
him, tossed a pretty one in and Red
smashed il over the fence and far away.
The Apostles did not get man over
the plate until the eighth inning, when
a hit by Tuckerman, base on balls,
single by. Carroll, two wild pitches and
another hit by Werrick brought in
three runs. DAILY scored in the ninth on
a base on balls, wild pitch, Viau's sac
rifice and Murphy's hit. Broughton
struck out and Murphy was forced off
first by Carroll and ended the inning.
Murphy and Werrick did the best work
for st. Paul, Murphy in the field and
Werrick at the bat. Yesterdays game
puts Minneapolis one ahead of st.
Paul, and with but one more game to
play, st. Paul can do no more than
make a tie. The score:

HOW THEY STAND.
Relative Positions of the Teams

Relative Positions of the Teams
in Three Leagues.
The finish in the Western association
is the tameSt since the organization of
the old Northwestern league. In 1886,
Eau Claire made wonderful squirt in
the last month and came very near
beating Duluth out. The following
season Milwaukee led until the home
stretch was reached, when Oshkosh
forged to first place and held it by a
narrow margin. Last year Des Molnes
was pressed so close by Kansas City
that the championship was decided the
last week of the season. Now, three
weeks before the end of the
base ball,year, Omaha has the pennant
so firmly in its grasp that nothing
should wipe out the team can prevent
it from winning the flag. st. Paul
and Omaha are now nine straight
games apart, larger distance than has
existed since Omaha secured the lead
late in June, and st. Paul has but
twenty-five games to play. The St.
Paul team has been playing good,
steady game the past week, having lost
but once, but Omaha has not even lost
once. The fight for third place
promises to be pretty one.
1t is within the grasp of
Sioux City, Minneapolis, Denver
and Milwaukee, and is likely to be
taken by Minneapolis, though Sioux
City and Milwaukee will make hot
fight for 1t. st. Joseph and Des MOines
are out of the race, and in financial
straits, though both will finish the sea-
son. St. Joseph has but four more
scheduled games at home and Des
Moines has arranged to play its games
the season in better shape than last
year. The annual meeting will be held
Oct. Is. Next years league will prob
ably be composed of st. Paul, Mime
apolis, Milwaukee, Sioux City, Omaha,
Denver, Lincoln and Oshkosh. The

The party arrived last week with a
carload of trained polo ponies, bats,
balls and all the accessories of the game
The gentlemen are quartered at the
Minnesota club while the ponies are
cared for at the Midway stables. Fri
day afternoon the first exhibition game
was played before an interested audi
ence at Kittsondale between mixed
teams from Sibley and local players.
The teams were composed of the follow
ing gentlemen, with names of their p0-
nies attached. The "Blues" were:
c. w. Benson on OREGON.
j. w. Orde on Buckskin.
F. Skipwith on Gila.
W. c. Reed Oh Montana.
The "Yellows'' were:
0. j. Clark on Hammer
E. F. Burnside on Dick.
II. ". Bidgood on Sour Crout.
j. I'll. Stewart On Baby.
The ponies are mentioned because as
much depends on them as their riders,
and the Intelligence they display in
chasing the ball is simply wonderful.
The game was we'll contested and was
full of good plays and exciting periods,
and the hard and reckless riding of the
Iowa men and their graceful and effect
i've front and back-handed strokes were
much admired by the spectators. The
"Blues," with Benson as leader, defeat
ed the ''Yellows," led by Bidgood, by
the score of goals to 8. The next eX-
hlbitiOn of the game will be given on
Tuesday afternoon at 5 p. m at Kittson-
dale. All lovers of field sports are in
vited to be present.

GREAT is WILMOT.
His Work Results in ChicagO's
Double Defeat.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-Two games
were played between the Washington
and Chicago teams to-day for one price
of admission. The weather was cloudy
and threatened rain at any moment,
and the attendance consequently was
not more than 1,5O0. In the first game
the Chicagos took the lead in the open
ing inning and had things their own
way until the seventh, when the Sena-
tors began to bat and Chicago weak
ened, the result being that the home
team won the game in that inning. The
second was desperately fought from
start to finish, both teams playing
brilliantly. Ferson and Gumbert did
great work. Eleven innings were
necessary to decide it, and the Senators
were again victorious, WilmOt making
the winning run Oh his triple and
Beechers single. Wilmot's ba tting
alone won the contest, and his fielding
was the feature. Altogether it was
great day for Walter WilmOt. Scores:
