Preparing to Welcome tho G. A. r.


WASHINGTON CRY. Aug. IS. - The
people who have charge of the en-
campment are hustling at lively
gait at this time to finish the preparations,
and will probably be in pretty fair shape
when the thousand of soldiers and visitors
arrive here. The capital city committee
has been greatly assisted in looking out
for the entertainment of the grizzled vet
Grams by representatives of different states
who are located here in government offices
and positions of a similar nature. The Min
nesota colony in Washington City has done
good work to get things in shape for
taking care of the visitors that are coming
from the North Star state. This may be said
to be true of those from Wisconsin, Iowa,
North and South Dakota, Montana. Wash
ington. Oregon, Colorado, Wyoming and
other Western states. The representatives
of these states who are on the ground
seem to have grasped the situation thor
oughly, and have been arriving at the
conclusion that the only way to see that
the people of their states coming to the
encampment are taken care of is to take
the matter in their own hands and to ar
range for quarters for them, to be desig-
mated before they arrive in the city. This
plan has been followed very successfully,
and the old soldiers and their wives and
daughters and relatives in general will be
pretty we'll cared for. though none Of the
care for their entertainment will be due to
the average Washingtonian. There
is one thing about the encamp-
ment to be held in Washington City
that will please the old soldiers,
and that is they can easily visit the battle
grounds of the rebellion from the capitd
city. The railroads have arranged to run
special trains pretty frequently, and the
rates have been put down to low figure,
so that any of the old soldiers who desire
to 60 over the ground that they traveysed
at the civil uprising will be permitted to
do SO whether they are wealthy or not.
Another thing that Washington City has
done that will probably be appreciated by
the poorer element in the Grand Army is
the arrangement on the government
grounds here for quarters for them that
will be free. 1t is true that these quarters
will not be magnificent in any way,
but they will probably be more COM
Portable than the tents that have
usually been supplied them ill other
cities. Those who are compelled
to take to the hotels and boarding houses
will probably have to pay pretty high rates
for their entertainment, bat those that
will be CHARTERED in the hotels are abund-
antly able to pay their bills. All this has
been arranged so that the purse strings of
the average veteran will not he pulled any
stronger than is necessary. tits estimated
that more visitors will come to the en-
campment here by upwards Of $1,000 than
have ever attended an encampment in the
past The town will be overrun by the
old warriors, and the freedom of the city
and the surrounding country will pretty
nearly be given them.

ONLY EXHIBITION CONTESTS.
Tacoma-POrtland Games ut Salem DO
Not Count in Pennant Race.

Tacoma-POrtland Games ut Salem Do
Not Count in Pennant Race.
All Salem is worked up over the belief
that their baseball "fans" have been taken
In by Manager Barnes. of the Portlands,
and Manager Work, of the Tacomas. On
last Monday and Tuesday the two teams
played two games at Salem. They were
advertised as championship contests of
the Pacific Northwest League, while it APP
pears that they were in fact nothing more
than exhibition games, and it is on this
account that the people of Salem are pro-
testing.
Barnes and Work might have been hon
est in advertising as they did, but they
should have known better. There were
between the teams two scheduled games
in the first championship season which
they had no opportunity to play,
and it was to these that the managers
had reference when they announced
that two championship games would
be transferred to Salem. sHowever, they
were going beyond their powers in at
tempting to include these games as part
of the championship race. The first sea-
son closed on July 8, and all postponed
games should have been played off prior
to that time in order to have them count
in the percentages. Games scheduled in
the first series cannot be played off now
any more than could postponed games of
1891 with the purpose of having them
count in the official record.
The rank and percentage Of each club
stands as it did at the close of the games
on July 3. Any deviation from that
would be an absurd and unjust proceed
ing. With the right set of circumstances
it would give an opportunity for change
in the standing Of the clubs after the sea-
son was ended and the result officially de-
clared. If the finish had been very close
these two games might have made q very
material difference. For instance, if Spo-
kane or Seattle were tied with, or one
game ahead Of Tacoma for first place, or
any other place, Tacoma, by winning both
of these games from Portland, would have
been boosted into the lead. This might be
carried even so far as to make change in
the disposal of the pennant, but fortu-
nately no such opportunity was afforded.
But the error of Barnes and Works posi-
ton cannot be denied. They had no more
right to play these games as postponed
championship games of the first season of
1892, than Spokane and Portland, between
whom there was but q difference of two
games last year at the finish, would have
to now play off two postponed games to
decide the championship OF 1891.
