everybody by beating out a pretty bunt.
Manager Gil was caught playing off Sec
ono by Baldwin's quick throw and rum
down, Polhemus taking second during the
chase. With Irwin at the bat a foul-tip
struck Baldwin on the knee cap, and the
pain and the force of the blow tumbled
MIN over in the dust. A few minutes of
prisk massage treatment and the plucky
catcher donned his mask and protector and
went back under the bat. Irwin was safe
at first on Mains tumble. Then Tom Par
rott cracked out the ball to right field for
three BASES, sending in Polhemus and r.
win. McGinnis flied out to Stencil and
Letcher to Burns. the latter making .
brilliant catch.
Seattle's last run Of the game came in
the eighth, after two men were out. Dan
ny Minnehan hit safe to center, was ad-
vanced by Hatfield's base on balls and
scored on 'Polly's" fourth hit.
Portland also scored in her half ON
Stencils three-bagger to center and Te-

and George both hit safe, but were left on
the next two men going out. The score:

SEATTLE AND TACOMA TIE.
Hatfield's Team Has the Better Chance
Keep the Lead.

Hatfeld's Team las the Better Chance to
Keep the Lead.
The week just passed has seen Portland
drop back from a tie for the lead with
Seattle, and Tacoma has come up to take
her place. Seattle has kept to the front
by splendid work in winning three out of
four from the champion Portlands, against
whom they could do nothing in the first
series. Tacoma won all four of her games
of the week, but the record is really not as
good as that of Seattle, because Tacoma
has had an easy thing in facing the badly
crippled SpOkanes.
Seattle has the next two weeks at home,
and it is an excellent opportunity to get q
lead in the pennant race. The chances
are much more favorable than they are for
Tacoma, who will be in the meantime
away from home, and compelled to go
against first Seattle and then Portland.
This week Seattle will have Tacoma, and
next week Spokane. Portland goes home
for the next three weeks, and it would not
be surprising to see her very close to the
lead at the end of that time. Spokane,
owing to her crippled condition, has fallen
SO badly behind that it will only be by
phenomenal work that she can pull up
into place to make q fight for the pen
nant. OF the forty-eight games in the
second series there are yet twenty-eight
for each club to play. Of these Seattle
and Tacoma have each twelve at home
and sixteen away. Spokane and Portland
have sixteen at home and twelve away.
The comparative standing of the teams
to date is as follows:

Two silent Men.


The two men who are just now attract
ing the greatest attention politically in
this country are David B. Hill and James
e. Blaine. Mr.. Hill has not yet recovered
from the cruel basting which he and his
friends received at the hands Of Cleve-
lands furious followers at Chicago. He
has not opened his mouth to say that he
either cares to see Mr.. Cleveland elected or
defeated, but he is pretty certain to advo-
cate the election of Mr.. Cleveland before
the campaign is over. As a professional
politician with a future there is nothing
else for him to do, but when he does it, it
will be with such poor grace that his fol-
lowers throughout the state will feel that
they are in a measure absolved from sup
porting Mr.. Cleveland. People who study
the situation think that if Mr.. Hill had
been as shrewd politician as his friends
represent him to be he would Immediately
have proclaimed himself warm
friend of Mr.. Cleveland after the NOM
ination, and thrown himself into the
campaign in his state with vigor. In the
event of the election of Mr. Cleveland this
as candidate for the presidency in 1885,
Mr.. Hill has, however, chosen to let his
party understand that he is decidedly
angry, but it is presumed that he under
stands his own business. As for Mr..
Blaine there is personal reason for not
taking an active part in the campaign.
His domestic Affections have absolutely
untitled him for contact with the world.
A gentleman who visited Bar Harbor
recently assures me that Mr.. Blaine is in
excellent physical health, but that his
spirit is much broken. He receives no
visitors and, although daily solicited to
furnish an interview on current politics,
or write letter for general campaign cir
culation, he declines to speak. 1t is not
believed that he is sulking because of his
defeat at Minneapolis. because he has
more than once manifested a desire to
see Mr.. Harrison reelected. He is SIM
ply untitled for the political arena at this
time, and it is probable that he will take
no part beyond writing short appeal to
his party friends some time in October.

Casey said that Sullivan weighed 219 pounds
on Saturday morning. He was asked whether
he expected any difficulty in farther reducing

nine or ten pounds in the five weeks remaining
before the fight Oh, that matter does not give
us the least concern. All We ask is for John to

will fight Daily before the Olympic Club or any
any other responsible club, and can lick him
in two punches said Ashton
sit has been frequently stated that Sullivan
does considerable boxing with Ashton. How
often does that occur?
"Sullivan does not box with Ashton, nor has
he had the boxing gloves on since he started in
to train" replied Casey. 1.-THE. only boxing he
does is with the swinging ball, and then he puts
on pair of fingerless kid gloves"
