the vacation period between the two
seasons as well.

BASEBALL CHAT.

Poor. dear, old Roger Connor. The
Giants hated to do 1t, and they pro-
longed the agony until the eighth in
ming, but New York was obliged to win
that game yesterday. There are first
basemen and first basement but you
never saw such agility, such terrific
coaching and roofing as Roger Common
did yesterday. And perhaps he didn't
bat, Still, Roger couldn't win the game.
He tried to tiercely enough, but there
were others In the game. And Lazy
Jack Doyle-those who know Jack best
say he's laZy-was covering first base,
that old place that dear Roger knows
so well. Well. "Roge," better luck next
week. II Common persists in roofing and
coaching so theoretically he's liable TO
give odd Silence and Fun Jim STAT

In the game.

haps he vii always have them the marks
of "Spud" McGraw's, spikes In his left

into Wilson in that last game in Balti-

shoes into the bone In Wilson'S leg. To
do that the wicked little Oriole was
Obliged TO run Off first base line and

upon reaflirms the state platforms of 1890

form. 1t endorsed the Chicsgo platform
and denounces President Cleveland as
not adhering to it in the following plank:
ave denounce the action of President
Cleveland in appointing Republicans to Of
flee, joining forces with Republican leaders
against the majority of his party in the
demone; cation of silver; his veto of the
seigniorsge bill; his invasion of State
rights, and his efforts to improperly control
the House of Representatives and Senate
by the use of patronage to influence legs
lation as un-Democratic; unworthy OF
successor of Jefferson, Jackson AM Madl-
SOD, and betrayal of the platform upon
which he was elected.
The section of the platform which de-
nounced President Cleveland was finally
killed and no mention of the President OF
the national administration was made. The
ticket nominated is headed by John Gary
Evans for Governor. The anti-Tillman
