BASE BALL GOSSIP.
Only Six Weeks Moro of the Championship Contest Remains Tho Boston Clnb StllI Retains 8 Good Lead in the League Race. St. Louis Keeps to the Front in the Asso- citation With Brooklyn a Good Second. Scores of Yesterdays Games.

Scores of Yesterdays Games.
 NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-Gladiators of the baseball field are preparing for closing battles of tho season on the diamond, which promises to be for blood. Only six weeks more of the championship struggle remains, but every game played during that period will be watched with the greatest in terest Each club is now working at it's best with the hope of bettering it's condition in the race and the contests of the tail enders arc creating as much excitement in certain circles as those of the leaders.
 But though the final struggles will not be fought until October there is sufficient time for the Bostons to relin- quish their claim to their present lofty position to the New Works or Philadel- phia, and to enable the St. Louis team to take slide down the toboggan. Will such changes take place?
 The advantage at present is in favor of the men from tho Hub, but there may be many a slip between the ball and the pennant before the latter is given to the champions. If either the New Works or Philadelphias expect to be victorious they should no longer wait for the predicted downfall of the leaders, as 1t is not likely to occur, un- less Clarkson Is knocked out of the box.
 A good opportunity will be offered to the New Works this week. By careful work they ought to defeat Washington three times and as the Bos- tons are calculated to fall before the ll, %y,,}o ir hn tiy,,n this will help the former a little. The Boston's then come hero for three games, if none of the postponed contests are played of, and exciting battles they
 will be. Should the New Yorks get
 two of these they will be once more on their rivals heels.
 In the coming battles between the Western clubs here, Pittsburg, Chicago
 and Indianapolis promise to play greater ball than at any time this sea-
 son. The Smoky City team, since
 placed in charge of Manager Hanlon,
 has done nobly and may be depended
 upon to continue, as it has evidently run the gauntlet of misfortune. There is little to be said about the race for the Association championship The hope that was revived in the hearts of the Brooklyn supporters when they again closed tho gap somewhat on 1 the Browns was knocked out when they l met with such an awful defeat in Cin-
 cinnati on Thursday. Up to that date
 their fine playing had increased their chances of getting on the Browns heels- Misfortune offset these bright prospects and a fall soon followed.
 In the meantime the Baltimores and the Athletics are improving. The Southern team under Joe Hornung's
 captaincy, has done we'll. He looks
 carefully aftor the field work and the
 team has greatly improved In the gen.
 eral play on the bases and In the field.

ONLY TWO BIDS RECEIVED.
Attorney Lucien F. Burpee BecOme' The Nominal Owner of the Water bury .sRepublican.''

Attorney Lucien F. Burpee Becomes
 Tho Nominal Owner of the Water
 bury "Republican.''
 About dozen gentlemen, most of them stockholders in the concern, were present in the Republican office this morning at 10 o'clock when Trustee Cole announced that the hour had come for the plant to be knocked down to the highest bidder, as ordered by the probate court Judge Cole announced that the plant included the machinery, type, etc, but not. tho books. The good will and office furniture were also included in the list.
 H. H. Peck wanted to know why the books were not sold with the rest and the trustee explained that the books were in the possession of Attorney Bur pee and would have to be sold at some more convenient day.
 John O'Neill asked if the good will was included in the inventory and if it was how much was it valued at? No one seemed able to give the desired in- | formation.
 Trustee Cole explained that the reason | the sale was ordered so soon was to stop the expense incurred in running the paper.
 City Sheriff Mcdonald then took the floor as auctioneer and asked for bid upon the property. There was a silence | for a moment and the auctioneer re- peated the question. "I'n give the in- ventory," said c. R. Baldwin, and the spell was broken. The property was inventoried at $3,428. l.. F. Burpee raised the bid to 8, 500 and after vainly appealing to the spectators to go him $50 better Auctioneer Mcdonald knocked down the property to MT Burpee.
 It is generally believed that Attorney Burpee purchased the plant in the ln- terest of the original owner, J. Henry Morrow. Another rumor has it that c. R. Baldwin is the power behind the throne and will shortly infuse some life into the paper and change back to the morning field. MT Morrow was seen by a DEMOCRAT reporter after the sale, but declined to make any statement The future of the paper will probably be out lined in this evenings issue. | The new owner, whoever he is, will find many breakers ahead, when the collector goes among the advertisers Judge of Probate Phelan said this after noon that the subscription list and adver- Using contracts were not included in the good will of the concern. Some equitable arrangements might be made with the trustee to publish the adver- tisements, but advertisers were not bound by their original contracts.
 Charles G. Root and Wilson H. Pierce were to-day appointed commissioners upon the estate and three months are allowed creditors in which to present their claims.

An Attempt to Wreck Train a
 Cromwell.

An Attempt to Wreck a Train at
 Cromwell.
 It has just leaked out that an attempt was made to wreck train on the Mer- iden, Waterbury and Cromwell road last Wednesday morning at an early hour. The track walker was passing over his division before six o'clock to see that everything was all right for the passage of the half-past six train from Cromwell to Waterbury. AS he reached point near the junction of the Valley and Meriden, Waterbury and Connecti- cut track, he noticed an obstruction on the rails a short distance ahead, and hurrying to the spot he was surprised to find five ties piled in such a manner on the track that the wrecking of the train would have resulted as it rounded the curve just beyond the trestle that shut off a view of the track at this point The rascals had piled the ties across the track in a manner that would have proved disastrous to the train had they come in collision. No clue has been obtained to the perpetrators of the das- tardly attempt to sacrifice human life for purposes known only to themselves, and it is probable that nothing will be learned of their identity. The affair has been kept a profound secret by the em- ployes and officers of the road.

STABBED IN THE BREAST.
Michael Kennedy Assaulted by an
 Italian Last Might.


 Italian Last Night.
 Michael Kennedy, aged 16, was stab bed in the right breast and left leg by Pasquale Francologia, an Italian, on Union street last evening. Officer Dodds arrested the would-be murderer and he is now confined in the station house awaiting the result of the boys injuries. Kennedy tells straightforward story and says the assault was entirely un- provoked. He was standing in front of his residence talking to his mother and sister when the Italian came running down the street and as he was passing dealt him vicious kick. At the corner of Jefferson alley Francologia stopped and Kennedy followed him and demand ed to know why the Italian kicked him. For answer the latter drew a stiletto and stabbed the boy in the right side. Ken nedy fell crying that he was stabbed. As he was rising the Italian made another lunge with the sharp weapon, cutting the lad in the left leg, and then he ran away. He was found shortly after by Officer Dodds.
 The wounded boy was taken home and Dr Benedict was called. The wound in the breast penetrated the right lung, but is not serious, and it is expected that Kennedy will be able to appear in court tomorrow morning.

The return match between the Albion and Bridgeport cricket clubs was played on the West End grounds on Saturday, the wickets being pitched at o'clock. This game proved as quite as interesting as the last and was almost as close-the Bridgeports winning with only one run more than the necessary winning run. when their side was retired. The oldest cricketers in both clubs admit that they never saw two such evenly matched clubs. The Bridgeports acknowledge that the eleven that played on Saturday was the strongest team they ever sent out and that nowhere in all their trips from home were they ever accorded SC hearty a reception as in Waterbury. Great interest IS felt in the next game which will be played next month. The score:

Vital Spot.
 Says the Meriden Sunday Journal Among the interested spectators at the handicap yesterday was Arthur w. Cushing, the section boss of the Meriden, Waterbury and Connecticut River road, who was shot by the Italian, two weeks ago. He was able to leave his carriage and walk about the grounds.
 "I.feel first-rate," he said to Journal reporter, land will be all right in a short time. The wound where the bull let entered my groin has about healed but the one made by it coming out in my back is still sore. Oh, I'll meet that dog again, and I'll bet he does not get the drop on me next time."
 Mir Cushing's hand, two knuckles o1 which he broke on the Italians jaw after being shot, is still in splints.
