Had these decisions been given on the same
principle on which almost all decisions are
given the score at the end of
the game should have been 2 to

Mr. Gaffney rendered a decision in the
fourth inning that beyond all doubt was
fair, and beyond that it was case fully 80
per cent clearer in favor OF the base runner
than a case he had decided in favor of Nc

MORRIS PARK RACE. TRACK, Oct TO-
The last weeks racing of the so-called
legitimate season was inaugurated with fair
weather and 5000 spectators Only one
favorite, Banquet, won and the plungera
were pretty well cleaned out. The Cham.
payne stakes for which Runyon was On
odds on favorite, was won by the Annie F.
colt. He made the running from start to
finish and won in gallop with post odds OF
20 and 25 to against him. His owners,
Gideon and DAILY did not fancy him. They
were thoroughly disgusted at letting
the colt win without their usual heavy
stable commission.
Fred Taral was plunge on to win the
fifth, but Lyceum outfooted him in the
closing furlong and won in hustling
finish. The struggle for the last race was
one of the best of the meeting. Gascon to

SELECTING SITES TODAY.

Chief Bigelow to Locate the Columbus
Grove and italian Monument.
To-day Chief Bigelow will visit Schenley
Park to select sites for the Columbus grove
and the Italian monument. Yesterday a
resolution was passed in Councils giving
the united Italian societies of the city the
right to erect monument to Columbus in
Schenley Park on the anniversary of his
discovery of America
The resolution as submitted to Councils
did not specify what sort of monument
would be erected. To make sure that none
but proper statue would be raised, it was
amended by making it necessary to have
Chief Bigelow's approval before the monu-
ment could be built. This will not prevent
the united Italians from going ahead with
their demonstration. 1t was arranged that
on Columbus day the foundations could be
laid. This was all the donors wanted.

He has always something good and attrac-
tive and this week he has a really good
lot Of performers at the Academy of Music.
His "World of Novelties" is something
worth the while of any body's seeing. Last
evening the house was crowded with an en-
thusiastic audience and they had any num-
Der of opportunities to cheer and laugh.
Leonard and Finn are extremely
funny Irish comedians and Baggeson,
the "human corkscrew," is certainly
what he is claimed to be: zap anatomical
puzzle He is wonderful. John and
Harry Dillon, John r. Harry. BRYANT and
Saville, Marion and Bell, land Estelle Well
ington were all heartily applauded. Van
Leer and Barton are very droll representa-
tives of the colored race, and Harris and
Walters are passable as vocalists and COM
edians. OF course Gus Hill swings his
clubs as we'll as ever. A one act comedy,
ga School for Scandal" concludes the en-
tertainment. It is, indeed, an attractive
show all through.
