FOR A TROPHY.
An Innovation in the Baseball
Games.

The baseball maenates have put their
heads together over proposition which,
if adopted. will greatly stimulate the in
terest in the national game, which has
already been considerably revived with the
coming of the champions.
The scheme originated with the players
of the Boston team, and the plan is for
series Of fourteen games to be played be-
tween the San Francisco, Oakland and
Boston clubs. in which the latter team
shall be handicapped certain mum Der of
games to each of the othef clubs, and the
handicap is so great that it will take some
nerve for the Beaneaters to work against it.
1t Is proposed to begin the series with
to-morrow's game and close on New
Years, playing three games a week, as at
present, and few additional games
thrown in to make up the series. Mr..
Byrnes, the new manager of the Boston
team, has agreed 10 present magnificent
trophy to the winning club, should it not
prove 10 be his own, while Manager Gilbert
will do as we'll by the visiting club if 1t
shall be able to overcome the handicap
and hold first place on New Years.
The bandicapping has been placed in the
hands of a board OF control, made up
entirely of disinterested persons, and it
has been decided o handicap the Boston
team two games to Oakland and three to
San Francisco.

A Queer Indian Ceremony.

Miss Kate Foote spoke at the monthly
meeting Of the Hartford Indian Associa
ton in the parlors OF the Centre church
yesterday morning. and mentioned a
number of interesting experiences she haC
among the Riscon and Aqua Calientt
tribes OF Indians.
She gave a vivid description OF the
burning OF the eagle" one OF the Gus
toms OF the tribes. When the young
eagles are nearly old enough TO fly the
tribe goes TO the cliffs with ropes and
ladders, and one climbs tree where
there is q nest. After battle with the
old birds they capture n young one. Men
are stationed in a line 10 the village,
and when the eagle is caught the an
nouncement is passed along the line,
so those I'm the village hear OF II at.once.
In the evening all the members OF the
tribe gather around a fire, and from Z
O'Clock until the next morning they sing
and dance. The eagle is killed by hay
ing fits neck squeezed. The songs sung
reminded Miss Foote Of Nancy Lee"
Later at night the eagle IA placed In n
large basket and thrown on the fire. The
fire is made TO burn hercer than ever,
and the eagle is burned so that It can
carry messages TO the friends OF the
Indian in the happy hunting grounds.
At this ceremony gifts are made 10 the
poor Of the tribe.-Hartford Courant.

SEVEN TO SEVEN.
Tho Score Tied In the Game Between yir-
Ripias and Peterburgs.

Though the score was tied yesterday
after ten innings. the game between the
Virginias and Petersburgs was not the
most interesting ever seen at Island Park.
1t dragged its weary length along with
but few plays worthy OF more than pass
ing notice, and II was not until the eighth
inning that the occupants Of the bleache-
ries and the grand-stand showed any
enthusiasm. Twice before during the
game they had arisen TO the Importance
OF the occasion. and gave their opinions
as to the safety" or the "outness" OF the
base-runner, and once before they had
made some pretty rough remarks on the
dirty" playing by Foster. He did not
play "clean" ball by any means.
From the eighth until the close there
pretty playing done, the field work
being brilliant. 1t was nip and tuck, and
both teams used every effort to send
winning run across the plate. but after
ten innings it had become too dark for
playing, and the teams left the field.
There was considerable clicking dur
ing the game, and at one time Keefer
became so disguised with Umpire Norris
sey's decision that he left the field. a
young man named Phillips umpired the
balance Of the game and gave universal
satisfaction.
Brodie and Lumsden made home runs;
Keefer found a three-bagger, and Gary
made a run-earnlng two-base hit.
Two runs brought the Petersburg team
up even with the Virginias. and were
gained by the bail becoming lost in right
field The last time the Cockade City
men played here the same thing occurred,
they then winning the game because OF
the accident.
Keefer caught with very sore thumb.
and was finally forced to give way to
Foster. who played, by the way, with the
Petersburg men.
There was a very large turnout OF the
cranks, the right beachery being packed
with yelling Comanches. Several ladies
were I'm the grand stand.
