THE GYMS HAVE II.

Hold of the Pennant.

They Beat the BridgeviIIes and Have a
Hold of the Pennant.
very interesting ball game was played
at Brldgeville yesterday afternoon between
the East End Gymnastic Club and Bridge
will teams The contest virtually decided
the question as to what team will win the
County League pennant this season, as, If
Bridgeville had won. the two teams would
have been tied for first place. But they
were beaten. and it may safely be said that
the Gyms will get the pennant
The attendance was good, and large
number of Bridgeville's bellies were present,
and their enthusiasm was unbounded. They
pulled heartily for their team, but their
heroes were completely outplayed. The
East Enders were in great form, and played
an errorless game as far as fielding was
concerned. They also thumped the ball out,
Cargo, the demon little hitter, making two
clean home runs. Frank Barr also had his
eye on the ball. Altogether Callihan was
hit hard and at the right time.
Thompson pitched in great form up to the
eighth inning, when he somewhat weak
ened. Up to that point only two hits had
been made off his delivery. But in that
inning lie was touched up for four good hits.
Patterson, while trying 10 steal second, had
his shoulder diSlocated. He was replaced
by Jones. The Gyms outplayed their op-
ponents at every point, and that tells the
story. They really played a good game The
score:

A VERY WISE MOVE.
Local Club Directors Resolve to Secure Four
New Players From the West.

Local Club Directors Resolve to Secure Four
New Players From the West.
The directors of the local ball club have
finally resolved to act in something like a
wise manner. They have been late in doing
so, but better late than never. They intend
to sign four new players this week, and one
of the directors stated last evening that the
four new faces will be here Monday.
The new men are: Inks, a pitcher now at
Duluth. Guy Hecker emphatically contends
that he is a wonderful left-handed pitcher
and better than Ramsey when the latter was
at his best. The second man is Frank Ward,
of Minneapolis an infielder of a great repute;
Grim, a catcher and infielder, of Milwaukee,
and Dell Darling, now catching for the
Minneapolis team. These were the players
that negotiations were going on for yester-
day according to one of the gentlemen inter
ested.
This determination on the part of the
directors will be hailed with delight by the
local baseball patrons. 1t is step in the
right direction, because the great weakness
has all along been more in the players than
anything else and had more attention been
devoted to this fact and less to personal
whims the team would not have been in last
place now. The directors are too good a
class of citizens to lose money, and there is
plenty of time even yet for them to save
themselves. The public cannot well do
other than support them when they are
heroic enough to plank up 5000 for four
new men.
If the new men come somebody, of course,
will be released, but so far nothing definite
has been settled on that point, except what
everybody knows, viz, that two or three of
the weakest players will have TO go. 1t is
not very likely that Miller will be released
this season, at least until first class out
fielder is secured. Miller is undoubtedly
better man than Reilly for the outfield TAX
ing into consideration his hitting and gen
eral qualities. But if the new men come
here and are satisfactory, patrons of the
team can easily guess who will be released,
and one of the men to go may be a promi-
nent pitcher.
Last evening a telegram was received from
Inks stating his terms and asking for money
to be wired him and he would leave for Pitts
burg at once His terms were accepted, and
the money may be sent him to-day.

PATTI AS A HOSTESS.
TAFFY FOR LIBERAL UNIONIsTs.
What Mr.. Balfour Has to Say of the Rela-
tions of English Parties.

LONDON, Aug. 12-In his speech at Ply
mouth yesterday, Mr.. Balfour, besides out
lining the provisions of the local Govern
ment bill for Ireland, praised the patriot
ism and self-sacrifice shown by the Liberal
Unionists. Their example of public spirit,
he declared had borne fruit. He believed
that what was at first only an alliance with
the Conservative party had now become
close union, which neither the chances or
changes of political life are likely to i'm
pair.
Mr. Balfour claimed that the measures
passed by the Government in recent years
have been of conservative, as well as of a
liberal, character, and that they deserved
the support of the best men of both parties.
For more than generation, Mr.. Balfour
said, there had been no vital difference of
opinion on great questions between moder-
ate Conservatives and moderate Liberals.

NEW YORK, Aug 12.-Hugo Eitel, IL
years old, had mastiff which had never
been known to do anything worse than
chase the cats of the neighborhood. Hugo
and the mastiff had always been on good
terms, but about five weeks ago, when
playing with the dog, the boy was slightly
bitten on the forehead and hand He
thought nothing of the bites, and did not
even say anything to his parents about
them.
spend few days with his cousin, P. J.
Reinhardt Soon after mis- arrival he
seemed unwell and began to ask questions
about dogs. He wanted to know who
owned the dogs in the neighborhood, and
what the dogs did and where they came from.
His relatives felt no uneasiness about him
until he told them on Tuesday he had been
bitten by mastiff. That afternoon he was
taken with what the doctors now say is
hydrophobia.
''He was seized with convulsions," says
Mr.. Reinhardt, "at about 1890 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, and began to bark like
dog and foam at the mouth. He jumped
at every one who came near him and had to
oo huOCheu uOWn IL WlCn pillows ana DOISLoTS
to be kept from biting the members of the
family
DR.. Hildbrand was summoned and treated
young Eitel with morphine injections and
chloroform, but from time to time the con-
vulsions reappeared. At night it was neces-
sary to tie the patient to his bed. The boy 8
father, Emile Eitel, was notified immedi-
ately. He went to Astoria this morning and
brought Hugo to his home. When the boy
left Astoria he was calm, but, according to
Mr.. Reinhardt, he soon shifted around the
woodwork and put out his tongue like a
dog. He would ask for water, but ut the
sight of it he would be seized with con-
vulsibns.
On arriving in New York he became so
violent that the police were notified and an
ambulance was Summoned. The boy was
taken to the Presbyterian Hospital where it
was necessary to place him in a straight
jacket and hand cuffs. He still barlSed like
a dog, the doctors say. The house surgeon,
DR.. Frank Hupp, said last night that he
thought that the patient had improved since
he had been in the hospital and that he was
then quiet.
The boy, it is believed, is in the second
stage of the disease. When rabies is farSnd-
vanced, as 1t seems to be in his case, the
patient is not expected to live more than
three days. Young Eitel has been subject to
epileptic fits for two years, and it is thought
that this may be largely responsible for his
present condition. He is q TALL raw-bOned
boy for his age, and it takes several men to
handle him when he has convulsion.
