WAS QUITE A GAME.

The Three AS and the Boston A. A. Team
Play a Ten-InninS Contest-No Runs
Scored in Nine Innings and the Visitors
Win in the Tenth-Highlapds Strikes
Out Is Men.
About 800 people were at Three AS Park
yesterday afternoon to see the ball game be-
tween the teams of the Boston Athletic As
socation and the Allegheny Athletic Asso-
citation. Without doubt good game was
witnessed, and although the festive visitors
won it they had quite difficult task to &C
complish before they did it. The local team
were not marks by any means. and in this
the players from the East were very much
surprised.
Ten innings were required to settle the
argument, and all the runs that were
made in the game were made in that extra
inning. They only amounted to two but
the visitors made them. The great High
lands, as he is called, pitched for the Bos-
tons, or for that matter the Harvard team,
because seven of the nine were Harvard
players. Highlands had the home players
at his mercy, as he struck Is of them out
They were evidently afraid of him. as his
pitching does not warrant that kind Of
slaughter. His speed was the stumbling
block, and yet he is not as speedy as

hind him.
Robertson, who pitched for the home play
ers, pitched in excellent form, but he had a
tougher lot of people to face than Highlands
had. He somewhat tired toward the finish,
ana that accounts for the lively hitting in
the tenth inning by the Bostons.
The visitors did some kicking. Once
Highlands wanted a new umpire because a
decision made by Dalzell did not suit him.
The request was babyish and was not grant
ed. Again, in the eighth inning, with two
men on bases and nobody out, Cook knocked
up little infield fly. Robertson "trapped'
it and Highlands and Mason were doubled.
This caused a big kick and a long delay, al
though the decision was perfectly right
The two runs were made as follows: Muir
ray led off the inning with a single and
base on balls, filling the bases Cook
knocked grounder to the pitcher, and here
there was splendid opportunity to throw a
man out at the plate and the batsman out at
first, but only the man at the plate was re-
tired. Farron knocked grounder to third
ard Mason was put out there and Highlands
got home. Stern raped out q fine single to
right and Cook scored the second run. The
score:

race by short neck. Parrott, whose errors
are of the bull in the china shop variety,
started the circus as usual He had made
some phenomenal plays, but did not feel
good until he had contributed his might to
helping the Pirates out of the hole in
which they had been hopelessly foundering.
Parrotts Generous Wild Throw.
He threw Bierbauer's grounder so low
that Anson could not scoop it in, and the
man with the horrible name was safe. He
was the first man up, too. Charley Farrell,
who had been unable to locate Gumbert,
then drove out single which Decker tum-
bled and each runner was advanced base.
Kelly sacrificed and Bierbauer scored. 1t
was then that "Buck" eat mis- watermelon.
Baldwin was due at the bat, but he hugged
the bench and Mack, the backstop, tried his
luck with the stick. About the same time
a new ball came into play. "Buck's" good
thing sent out out a snorting single and
Farrell romped home. Miller then pasted
a double into right, on which Mack scored.
There was only one out and another run
would tie the score. Anson breathed hard
and the crowd held its breath.
Your Uncle Was Very Nervous
A sigh of relief went up when Ryan
smothered Donovan's fly, and the crowd
shouted when Smith went out from Canavan
to Anson.
Mark Baldwin was carded to serve the
ball for the Pirates bold. Ryan wanted
hit to increase his average, and helped him.
self to single before Baldwin was fairly
awake. A hit at the outset upset Marks
aqualine nerve, and he showed in a woody
pitch on which Ryan went to second, and
scooted to third on Baldwin's wild throw to
catch him mapping at second Parrott flew
out, and Dahlen got base on balls. Uncle
Anson lei out his arm and the bat collided
with an inshoot which sailed into rig hit, on
which RYAN and Dahlen crossed the plate.
After Wilmot's out Canavan and Decker
were sent to first on balls The bases were
full, but the best Gumbert could do was to
fire a baby grounder at Baldwin and ex-
pired at first. The Colts took another in
the second on Ryan's double into right.
Donovan Made a Bad Throw.
When Donovan returned the ball to sec
ond he shot it into Ryan's back and he
clattered on to third, scoring on Parrott's
base swipe into center. The Colts had men
on bases in the fifth and sixth, but did not
score again until the seventh. Ryan went
out and Parrot sent the ball into center
and Baldwin helped him to second with a
crazy pitch. Dahlen few ont and Anson
looked so formidable that Mark presented
him with first He was sorry a minute
later when Walter Wilmot turned loose
bowling triple which sent in a pair of runs.
Those tallies came in mighty handy later

The Pirates scored once in the seventh

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2.-Three white men,
Fred Burns, John Paliford, and q man
known as "Frenchy," have been left to
spend an Arctic winter on desolate island,
with scanty provisions and absolutely with
out fuel. That they are in such terrible
plight is mainly due to the rigid enforce
ment of the orders closing Boring Sea
against seal hunters.
just year ago these men were put ashore
on St. Matthews Island, far up in Bering
Sea, by the schooner Matte T. Dyer, OF San
Francisco. They were assisted in building
a rude hut, and were given years supply
Of food and wood, and 70 pounds of powder.
The plan was for them to hunt and skin
polar bears and blue faces until this season,
when the Dyer was to remove them. The
schooner arrived here yesterday without
the three hunters. Captain Macklar stated
that he dared not venture into Bering Sen
for fear of seizure, and had been able to
make no provision for the relief OF the men.
He said it would be too expensive an under
taking to fit out boat especially for their
relief. Unless q revenue cutter or n cruiser
takes off the men they must remain for an
other season. The two parties of Indian
hunters left there in previous seasons under
similar conditions were devoured by polar
bears

ONE B0oKwoRM GONE AWAY.
n Met Classic Death among tho Mo,dy
Leaves of Sensc,.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-There is woe in
Benjamin's book store on Broadway, where
until early yesterday morning two book
worms, alive and we'll, thrived on an old
copy of Seneca. After breakfasting on page
Al yesterday morning one Of the bookworms
rolled over and died.
Mr.. Benjamin ascribes its death to the
carelessness of one of the bibliophiles who
examined it on Saturday. The bookworm
was weaving cocoon and had it about half
finished. The bibliophile was examining it
through magni6er when he carelessly let
the glass fall 1t struck the cocoon and
tore 1t from the worm. The bookworm,
which had hitherto lain motionless rose
upright, but almost instantly sank again
into its nest among the leaves. The cocoon
was put back as nearly as possible in its
former position and the book was closed.
When Mr. Benjamin opened IL yesterday
morning the bookworm's body protruded
half way over the edge of the book. As its
owner watched it it fell clear of Seneca
and died.
