in honor of the event. Rev. Benjamin F.
Bittinger. d.. presided. Mr.. W. f. Sudds

Mountains" Rev. Charles Alvin Smith
rendered the invocation and Rev. ]. Russell
Verbrycke read selection from the Scrip

stallation sermon was preached by Rev.

O'RourIxe as an Umpire.

AS was generally expected when
O'Rourke was appointed league umpire,
his decisions have called out great adverse
criticism. While Mr.. O'Rourke is thorough
ly honest, and DESTROYS of being impartial,
he has not that magnetism that compels
obedience. A dispatch from Brooklyn says
OF his work there yesterday:
The overshadowing and distinguishing
feature of the game here this afternoon
was the artistic roasting to which Um-
pire James O'Rourke was subjected by
the crowd. The orator Is said to have
given a very ochreish exhibition yester-
day, and this mornings New York papers
nailed him to the cross. The spectators
took 1t up this afternoon and kept hammer
ing away at him until the fifth inning,
when they came to the conclusion that
the ball playing of Father Foutzs men
was a shade worse than the umpiring of
the luckless James, and from that on to
the finish his life was almost worth living
But while the roasting lasted 1t was de-
cidedly picturesque and intense
who's thief? O'Rourke. Who's
ORourke? He's a thief" This query and
answer was taken up by the occupants
of the bleachers. and occasionally varied
by suggestions to trim your lamps" and
sarcastic illusions to certain decisions were
kept in play nearly all the afternoon.

regular contracts with the Petersburg base
ball club for the season of 1894. At the
time they repudiated said legal contracts
and left the services of said club the Vir-
ginia League had q right to the full pro-
lection of the national agreement the
same as the Pennsylvania League has to-
day.
Unless the signatures are forgeries those
players have no legal right and cannot
play with any club under the national
agreement. If they could, our laws would
not be worth the paper on which they are
written, and the grand base ball structure,
which we have been SO many years in
erecting, would be very soon in ruins No
club, regardless Of its location or condition
can afford to encourage a player to violate
his agreement. as. I have reason to fear,
the above players have done.

Electricity for Power Transmixs,o,

A striking illustration Of the adaptabilitv
OF electricity to power transmission is cited
by the United States consul to st. Etienne.
France in report to the State Department.
He says that a company operating American
electric machines under American patents
has established a 1900 horse power plant AT a
water fall eight miles from st. Etienne, and
Is transmitting the power from the dyna-
mos that distance over cables driving over
sixty looms, and with large increase pro-
jected. In large factories there the power
Is also being distributed to the looms from
the steam engines by means of interposed
dynamos and motors, doing away with belt
ing and shafting and securing certain other
important economics.

PLAYING FOR DARKNESS.

Pent-up enthusiasm was at fever heat and
the $500 spectators were on the tip-toe OF
expectation, for 1t was the Orioles last
chance to turn defeat into victory. And
they did 1t.
Kelley had already made three safe hits
off Pitcher Stivetts when he walked I'D to
the plate to begin that memorable ninth. He
went to first on balls. Reitz, who followed
received a similar present from the big Bos-
ton twirler. Jennings hit safely to short
center and the bases were full The crowd
rose to its feet and cheered. Stivetts began
to get nervous. He pitched the sphere to
Robinson. and Umpire Hurst called lone

cried the umpire. Once more the ball cross
ed the plate and the umpire said, Three
balls" Then came another cheer from the
crowd.
Stivetts had taken exception to all OF
Hursts decisions on the balls and strikes
while Robinson was at the bat, and when
the third ball was called he acted like q
wild man. He threw his cap upon the
ground. stalked out of the box and called
upon Capt. Nash for aid. They gathered
around the plate and talked, apparently In

departed nerve. Stivetts was then ordered
back to the box and was fined by the UNI

bases were full, no one was out and the
batter had three balls. The first ball he
pitched was wide of the plate and Robinson
went to his base, forcing Kelley home

league, and tried to turn the Orioles WELL
earned victory into a farce. The felders
acted like wooden Indians when the Balti-
more players sent the ball into their terri
tory, and Nichols tossed the ball like a
school boy. They were playing for dark
ness.
But Hanlon's men did not let up because
their opponents were doing the baby act -
They kept on pegging away, to the delight
of their friends and to the deeper chagrin
of the men from the hub.
By this time many saw that the Bostons
would refuse to retire the side until dark
ness set in and have the game called back
to the eighth inning. Then the Baltimore
players were loudly admonished by the
spectators to be put out purposely.
Brodie ended the run-getting by sending
fly to Nichols. Fourteen runs had been
scored since the beginning Of the inning.
The Orioles had been seventeen times at
the bat in the inning, and the score stood
