Why tho New York Republicans Are

or compelled to put In nomination at Syra-

all present Republican hopes of success.
Undeniably, the Syracuse ticket Is weak

ably too, the disappearance from the battle

Baseball.

The initial game at the Watertown
Baseball park was played last Sunday
afternoon between the home team and
the Milwaukee Laurels, the former
winning by the score of 81 to IA. The
contest was not one marked by any
special brilliancy or good playing, but
the heavy batting of both teams kept
up 3 lively interest. The fielding of the
Milwaukee team was very poor-about
the worst ever seen here-while that of
the Quentmeyers was fairly good when
it is considered that they went into the
game with scarcely no practice. We
think the team as now constituted will
develop into very strong one, much
stronger than last years, and after they
have worked together more and the
pitchers have gotten into good form
some frst-class playing may be expect
ed from them. Among the features of
Sundays game might be mentioned
KeePs heavy hitting and a one-handed
catch in center field by Mclaughlin.
We append the summary:

was ties to 8-but in the first half of
the eighth inning the Madisons scored
five runs. In order to allow the Quent-
meyers to catch train for home at 5:15
