pearance at Boston With the Usual
Result-The Beaneaters Thump Mr.
King Hard and Often and Some Very
Bad Fielding is Done

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
BosToN, Aug. lL-Boston won to-day's
game from Pittsburgh with comparative
ease and was so far ahead after the fourth
inning rs to deprive the contest of much of
its interest. King was in the points for the
visitors, and he was touched up for I5 hits
with Il total of 81. The Bostons would have
won the game handsomely by their batting
so that they did not need the ragged fielding
work of the visitors to win. Clarkson, on
the other hand, was quite effective when
good pitching was needed, and the visitors
did all their batting, with the execution of
Beckley'S three-bagger after the game was
well in hand and John declined to exert
himself In the last two innings the ball
WAS hardly more than tossed over the plate
The Bostons put up very sharp fielding
game, and some fine catches were made in
the outfield. Quinn's muff of an easy fiv was
the only error and it counted nothing in the
run-getting. Stovey led in the batting with
a single, two doubles and triple. Berrer's
home run was beauty over the left field
fence and Beckleys three-bagger q corkinr
liner to right center. The fine fielding of
Long, Lowe and Quinn was specially notice
able.
Pittsburg opened the game and HanIon
was hit by the first ball pitched and was
sent home by BeCkley's three-bager. The
latter was, however, LEFT on third wild
throw by Miller gave Long his base and
Stovey's double and loves sacrifice sent
him home tieing the score. Pittsburg was
blanked in the next four innings not getting
even a hit, while Boston added a counle of
runs in the second on little timely hitting
after Tucker had been hit by the ball and
five in the fourth on two doubles a single
three fielding and two batting errors None
OF these five runs were earned. After that
the Bostons dropped in long run occasion
ally until a total of u had been placed to
their credit, while the visitors added four
earned runs and would have had more of
Clarkson's easy pitching but for the fine
fielding of the home team. The attendance
was l. 456. The score:

GEOGPAPHERS AT BERNE,
A NEW AND MINUTE MAP OF THE
WORLD DECIDED UPON.

The Subjects of Prime Meridian, a Uni
versal Hour and the Spelling of Geo.
graphical Names to Be Discussed-An
Exhibition in Connection.
BERNE, Aug. 1.-THE International
Geographical Congress, which opened here
yesterday, met again this morning and con-
tinued its discussion of geographical ques-
tions. Much interest is manifested in the
work of the Congress, and many prominent
geographers and photographers are in at
tendance from all the countries of the world
which are interested in the science of
geography.
At to-day's session resolution was intro
duced, providing for the preparation of
map of the earth on scale of one-one-mil-
lionth, and also for the appointment of an
international committee to determine the
principles upon which the preparation of
this map shall proceed.
Among the questions which will be discus
sed by the congress are those of prime meridi-
an universal hour and the rules to be observ-
ed in the spelling of geographical names.
The object of the resolution introduced
to-day for the preparation of map of the
world on a one-one-millionth scale is to
destroy the dilusion that all the countries
of the world are sufficiently well known,
and to show that there is still plenty of
opportunity for explorers to open new ter
ritory that is still comparatively unknown.
In connection with the congress there is
held a geographical exhibition, at which
all the nations except Great Britain and the
Netherlands are represented. Much disap-
pointment is expressed at the failure of
America to send the great collection of
maps that was recently on exhibition in
New York, which was the subject of the
admiration of large numbers of geographers
for the minuteness of the details of the
earth's coniguration which they set forth.
The congress adopted a resolution to the
effect that the geographical societies of the
different countries represented should urge
their respective Governments to found
chairs of geography in their universities

Colonel Joel B. Erhardt, this morning, at

A dead set is to be made against A. X.

Some of these leading Republicans think
that Mr. Tingle should be Immediately re-
moved. They hope that Secretary Foster
will listen to their appeals. The merchants,
led by Cornelius n. Bliss, are opposed to
Tingle. They suspect him of trying to oust
their friend, Appraiser Cooper The friends
of Platt want Tingle removed, and to-day
they did not hesitate to say so.

pIoycrs, a Tobacco Firm.
TOLEDO, Aug. 11.-George P. Fitzmeyer,
city agent for the large wholesale tobacco
and cigar firm of Leland Smith & Co., is a
defaulter He took his annual vacation last
week, going with his wife to the G. A. R.
Encampment at Detroit. She returned
home, leaving him to make, as she supposed,
the tour of the Upper Lakes.
A day or two ago she received a letter
from him, mailed in Detroit, saying he
would never return. This led to an investi-
CATION by the firm, which develops that he
has made collections for which he did not
account. This is not complete, but so far
shows 81, 900 deficit.
