BATTLING FOR THE REMNANT.
The First Game Between Boston and
Cleveland Results in Tie.

The First Game Between Boston and
Cleveland Results in a Tie.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 1S-The great battle
for the baseball championship pennant is
on between the Bostons, who won the first
series of the season, and the Clevelands,
who won the series which closed Saturday.
In the opening game played here eleven
innings were played without making a run.
Then it was found necessary to call the
game on account of darkness. The hits
made by either club were very few, and the
pitchers had by all odds the brunt of the
battle to bear. Both were in great form,
having speed, good control and plenty OF
curves Young pitched the entire eleven
innings without giving a base on balls.
While there was a lack of base hits there
were several good fielding plays, the most
conspicuous of which was remarkably
good running catch by McAleer. Long
made sensational fly catch and Davis
some great stops at third. The first base
men of both teams played their positions
admirably. thinner and Virtue collided
at one time while running for fly ball
and the latter was knocked down, but not
seriously injured.
The Bostons found It impossible to steal
bases on thinner and the Clevelands got
Dul one OF TWO CuduceS 10 NIy ll on hcll1.
The latter did not catch particularly well.
The nearest that either side came to max
ing run was in the ninth inning, with
Cleveland at bat The first man flied out
and then Burkett bunted the ball. He got
to second on Davis hot drive TO right and
Mexican came to the bat. With three balls
and two strikes he made one of the hottest
hits of the game, but drove the ball squarely
into Longs hands and forced Davis out at
second. In the meantime Burkett had gone
to third, and as Quinn held the ball tried
to score. Kelly blocked him off the plate,
and on Quinn's throw caught him just
about a foot away from the coveted goal.
Boston had a man as far as third base in
the fourth and fifth innings, and that was
as near as they came to scoring during the

were present from other cities. Attendance.

The Southwest ON the Verge of the Big
gest Railroad Strike IN Years.
ST LOUIS, Oct lS.-rhe railways through
out the southwest are ON Che verge of what
will probably prove TO be the most com
pletc tie mp in recent years. Chief Ramsey,
Of the Order Of Railway Telegraphers, when
asked what was being done ON the Santa
Fe system, said +. $ Tobey, his private
secretary and deputy grand chief, has full
and complete charge Of the situation on tho
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road.
"He ordered the telegraphers on that di
vision TO stop work and they obeyed This
morning those of the northern division be
tween Purcell and Wichita were ordered
out, and ! learn the order was obeyed
promptly"
In regard TO the Missouri Pacific strike
matter Mr.. Ramsey said, 1--WE will have a
final meeting this evening, and If no de-
cision and agreement has been reached we
will then give our ultimatum, setting a
time limit that will probably result in some
surprising action"
A prominent railroad official here states
that he believes one Of the greatest railway
strikes ever inaugurated in the west Is i'm
/ pending.

BERLIN, Oct 1s-The emperor has signed |
Count Won Caprivi's military bill and has !
empowered the chancellor to dissolve the
reichstag In case it refuses to approve the
measure. This step he took after having
read a long report on the bill from the
chancellor. The additional annual expend-
iture required will be 81, 800, 600 marks.
Heretofore the unofficial estimates Of the
probable expense attendant upon the in
PRODUCTION Of the two-year-service term
have varied between SO,0oOOO0 and 10000
600 marks A few exceedingly conservative
men have estimated the expense at 6O,00O,
600 marks, but this figure was generally
regarded as ridiculously low The Radicals,
who are trying TO preciptate a cabinet
crisis and dissolution on the issue of the
bill, will be seriously embarrassed by the
smallness Of the increase, as they have
been the loudest shouters for the two year
a.rm, and could never have had reasonable
expectations Of obtaining it at less cost
than 55, ,OOO,O 600 or 6O;OOO, 600 marks
When Count CapriI was appointed inn
perial chancellor he found ready to his
hand a detailed plan for increasing the
armed forces of the empire while retaining
the system OF three years service. This
scheme, which had been worked out by
| General Won Nerdy, the war minister, and
! Count Waldersee, then at the head OF the
! general sta11, was to be carried out by de
! grees. Prince Bismarck also had given his
assent. As Count Caprivi discovered that
many difficulties presented themselves to
the carrying through of this plan after
thoroughly satisfactory experiments had
been made with various infantry regiments
on the two years system, the present bill
was drawn.
Today the imperial chancellor the min.
ister Of war and the chief Of the general
staff are as fully agreed upon their object
and the means Of obtaining it as Prince
| Bismarck, General Won Nerdy and Count
Waldersee formerly were. They do not
consider the two years system as the end,
but as the means to the end. The chief
ends in view are the enforcement Of uni
versal liability TO service and the enroll
ment OF younger class Of men than are at
present, as a rule, with the colors.
The contents Of the bill were made known
70 the Prussian council Of ministers some
months ago. The president Of the Prussiau
ministry thoroughly agrees with the chan
cellor as TO the political necessity of the
bill and none of the ministers not exclud
ing the minister Of finance has raised any
objections

drive a trotting horse n mile on a regula-
tion track inside Of 205.
And now Budd Doble, behind Nancy
Hanks, has ''been and gone and done it,"
The ordinary observer does not appreci-
ate the important part played in the reduc-
tion Of trotting records by the pneumatic
tired ball bearing wheels, up TO within a
short time seen only on bicycles. Now,
however, the ordinary old style sulky is
in the nature of a curiosity on first class
trotting track. Every trainer realizes that
it means a handicap Of something like five
seconds, and consequently he uses the new
style This estimate of five seconds is
based upon the performances Of such old
campaigners rs Globe Honest George, Jean
Nnljcan, Junemont Lobasco, Martha
Wilkes, Nightingale, Richmond, Jr., So
Long and Walter +, who had probably
gone as fast as they could go under the old
order Of things But the bicycle sulky
caused an average reduction Of about five
seconds in the records Of these day in and
day out trotters.
There are many persons who believe that
the speed producer has not been perfected.
1t is argued that larger wheel will OBJ
viate the present danger to a rearing horse,
and still further reduce the vibration Of
have greatly lessened. There is of course
10 way known at present for decreasing
the friction at the axles, as the ball bear
ings have brought this down almost to
minimum.
One of the greatest points in favor of
the small wheels, however, IS the fact
that they can negotiate the curves Of the
trotting track much better and with less
swinging outward" from centrifugal
force than the old time large wooden or
steel hoops. Besides the pneumatic tires
do not cut into the track at all, but in
stead almost seem TO skim over the
ground. OF course efforts are already
making to improve upon the improve
ments. The ordinary bicycle sulky has
two wheels, but an ingenious man of
an inventive turn Of mind declares that
these will not last long and that they will
soon give way to the unicycle sulky,
which he edeclares viii still further increase
the speed of the fiers Of the trotting turf.
As viii be seen, the one wheel in this sulky
of the future is in the middle Of the frame
and will be balanced by the shafts resting
against the horses sides. One great point
claimed for them, which would seem to be
valid one is that they will reduce fric-
tion to a minimum.
