BOSTON TAKING THEM ALL
A WINNER OF FOUR OF THE
WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES.

The Base Ball Season Just Ended the
Most Brilliant in the History of the

Ball - Other News in the Sporting
World-AmonR the Wheelme en-, the
SlugGers and the Turfrnen.
Boston has won four of the six games for
the worlds base ball championship. The
fifth game will be played to-day. The Bos-
tons have already won the championship.
Ii remains now to be seen whether they
will win all Of the games IN the series.
From playing point of view the season
up to the final championship games, was more
than ordinarily successful Into no pre-
vious season were so many brilliant and re-
mArkable games crowded, and despite the
fact that the championship issue was
mainly confined to two teams Of superlative
ability, the race was pretty one, as the
teams were all fairly strong and there was
no cinch for any team on even the tail
endsrs.
A glance at the Sporting Life'S tables of
both seasons shows that, considering the
great number of clubs engaged in the strug
gle, there is less disparity in their relative
standing thsn one would have supposed.
play there yet appeared to be something
lacking to generate enthusiasm. The game
seemed to be in rut. The Sporting Life
thinks there is too much science in it and
not freedom.
The first championship season began
April 10 and ended July 49, Seventy-seven
games were scheduled for each club in
each season. Boston won the first season
championship, with Brooklyn a good sec
ond.
The second championship season began
July Is and ended Oct Is with Cleveland
as pennant winner. Boston, the winner of
the first season, finished second, with
Brooklyn third, Pittsburg fourth, Phila-
delphia fifth and New York sixth. The Sec
ond season was remarkable for the all
around change Of form shown by all the
clubs except Boston and Brooklyn.
Had the season been continuous Boston
would have won the championship, with
Cleveland second, while the positions of a
number of other clubs would have been
materially altered in fact, Brooklyn. Louis

only clubs unaffected as TO position.
The Brooklyn club was the only member

PROGRAMME OF THE CIRCUS.
Forepaugh's Shows to Arrive Til

Forepaugh's Shows to Arrive This
Morning From Macon.
Sunday sight-seers who awaited the arriv-
al Of the Forepaugh shows yesterday were
disappointed. The show trains left Macon in
three sections after Saturday nights per-
Torrance, and after proceeding as far as
Wadley, stopped there and spent Sunday.
They left for Savannah last night and will
arrive early this morning. The tents will
be pitched on the grounds at Second and
Montgomery streets.
The parade will leave the grounds at 10
o'clock this morning, and will pass through
the following streets; Montgomery to
Henry, to Jefferson, to Jones, to East Broad,
to Liberty, to West Broad, to Broughton
to East Broad, to Bay, to Bull, to CASTOR,
to Drayton, to Henry, to Montgomery and
the show grounds
There seems to be no doubt that both the
parade and the shows are the best that Fore
paugh has ever brought south. The Column
bus Enqllirer-Sun said after Fridays per-
Torrance In Columbus: They are simply
magnificent; the Fall of Nlneveh is a
gorgeous spectacle. and delighted every
body; while the entire exhibition is all that
it was advertised TO be and is the largest
and best ever seen in Columbus, Barnum
not excepted.
The Macon Telegraph of yesterday de-
voted considerably over two columns to
the shows, and was enthusiastic in its
commentators. At Nashville, Birmlng-
ham and Montgomery the press were alike
unanimous The shows are pronounced es-
pecially remarkable for an absence of any
Objectionable features that may have been
urged against other and smaller-tented
exhibitions This seems to be attested by
the fact that they have attracted an alto
Oather unprecedentad attendance NJ Iadias
to their night performance.
Two performances will be given to-day,
one beginning at 2 o'clock this afternoon
aud the other at s o'clock tonight. The
doors will be open an hour before each per-
formance begins. Seats can be reserved at
Sternberg's jewelry store at any time DUR
ing the day.

A Police Force That Got Fooled With
Circus.
Some ludicreus things happen when least
expected. and queer things are often
said by the last persons who would be sus-
pscted of uttering them. A story illustra-
tive Of this was told last night by Whiting
Allen, one Of tine agents of the Adam Fore
paugh shows:
I'VE exhibited in Troy, Ala, few days
ago" said Mr.. Allen. Naturally the first
visit to the little town OF a concern like
ours was a great event. The municipal
authorities were upon the qui vive and
made great preparations for 1t. The chief
OF police, who was very nice gentleman,
appeared in a gorgeous new uniform-al-
most as superb an attire as that
of a major general on dress parade. His
entire force Of two or three men FURNISHED
their buttons and their stars and looked
very handsome. In addition to these some-
where between twenty-five and fifty special
policemen were sworn in. They had no
uniform, but each was provided with a tin
star. They were armed with homemade
maces made generally out of a wagon spoke,
which, fastened to the wrist by a leather
strap, made formidable weapon. All day
and until after the night performance the
deputies paraded around to the envy OF the
small proportion of their fellow townsmen
dignity. The day passed very quietly. Not
an arrest was made either around the show
or in the town. MIR. ForepauGh's manager,
! Mr.. McCaddon, is IA terror to crooks of
| every description, and Frank Kellogg, chief
of the small squad of Pinkertou detectives,
which travels with the show, is perhaps the

sion was echoed by the others.
Their compensation was to be had from
fees ia connection with the arrests they
might make and they were indignant at the
shows "cheating them out OF their money"
as one OF them put it. Like Othello, their
occupation was gone.
