AT THE oARaIsoH.



The opening game Of the bali season
played at this post last Sunday between
the Rockfords, champions Of the Pa
louise" and the Fort Shermans, demon
strated the fact that the soldiers have
an unusually strong nine. For eight In
nings the game was full Of snap, and at
no time did the large audience find Its
interest waning. The visiting club was
Q gentlemanly lot OF players, well man
aged and disciplined, and exceedingly
good ball handlers but the clever work
OF the post nine was too much for them,
although they fought brayely to retain
their supremacy as champions. The
work OF Mccall In the pitchers box and
in base stealing was unexcelled. II a
catcher can be educated to the curves,
drops and shoots Of this pitcher, the
post nine will prove the strongest in the
northwest. The catching Of Weeks was
excellent and showed the strength of
the nine, but not being permanent fix
ture the weakness of this position must
be overcome. The visitors could not
cayil at the decisions of Mr.. Brown, the
umpire, though some others did, think
ing that courtesy was carried to an ex-
IRENE not justified by the rules of the
game. The lead gained by the Sher-
mans in the first inning gave them an
advantage the Rockfords could not oy-
ercome. and the regularity with which
base hits were made piled up the score,
until at the end Of the sth inning, when
the game WAS called on account of the
rain, it stood 10 to in favor of the
post. After the game the visitors were
taken to the city and entertained in a
royal manner until the steamers impa-
tient calliopean shrek warned them it
was time TO depart. The following was
the score:

Then the Cam pania's sister ship, the Lucania, in turn dethruned the big Cunardcr, placing tho figures at days i2 hours minutes. This she did in November last in wintry seas These figures remained intact until tho Campania, fresh from the drydock, camo hustling into port yesterday in two hours and 3S minutes faster time than that made by the speedy Lucania
 In addition tho Campania had done what no other transatlantic liner has done smiled from Southampton on Sunday and landed her mails and passengers at the dock in New York on the following Friday night.
 Another unprecedented feature of the record smashing trip was the fact that many of tho Campania's passengers took breakfast in Dublin last Sunday morning and dined In New York last night.
 Beating her own record by four hours, the Augusta Victoria arrived here yester- day, having crossed the ocean in six days and l9 hours. She left New York on June 2s last with excursionists for Norway, touching at Hamburg on the way. While in northern waters she was visited by Elm peror William. who was also on n sight seeing tour on his yacht.
 The Campania's best previous record was made on Oct. 20 last and was days, | l3 hours and g minutes. The Lucania, the sister ship of tho Campania, had held the best western record between Queens town and New York since Nov. 3 last when she made the voyage in days, 1. hours and 47 minutes.

Rumored Central American Uuiou.

WAsHINGroN, Aug. 1s.-So far ths United States ministers in Central Amer ica have not advised the state department of the progress of the movement toward the combination of the five small Central American republics in one large nation. While such consummation would bo welcomed here, it is feared that it is scarcely practicable, because of the per sonal jcalousics of the many self consti- tuted leaders, which led to the downfall of tho old confederation about a quarter of a century ago.
