FIRE IN A BOARDING HOUSE.
John Morrison of scarboro suffocated by
Smoke.

Yesterday morning, few minutes
boarder at Mrs Hagerdon's boarding
house, No. 4, Brown street, returning
home, found the house filling with smoke
and on entering his room he discovered
smoke pouring from the stove pipe hole.
He aroused the boarders and ran to No.
rs house, while Officer Haggett pulled
an alarm from box five. The boarders had
to make their exit in the first thing they
could secure to cover them, and were in
great panic. Mr.. Henry Collins tied
sheets together and left his room by
climbing down the rope made of them,
men on the ladder, the men telling him
to keep his head out of the window until
rescued.
When the firemen got to the corner
room in the third story they found the
body of John Morrison of Scarboro, a
brick layer by trade, lying on the floor,
with flames smouldering about him. He
was dead, evidently suffooated. Chief
jackson thinks Morrisonsmust have been
smoking, and threw the match, not into
spittoon, but onto pillow, where the
flames smouldered and finally burst into
flame. Three young men who were in
Schlotterbeck' store when the alarm
sounded ran to the house and heard the
man groan in the room, but they had to
escape themselves to avoid being suffo-
Gated. Probably he became aware of his
perilous situation too late to save him
self. There is no doubt the fire caught in
his room for the firemen found the mat
tresses on fire. He was about twenty five
years old and was employed in the power
house Of the Portland Railroad company
DR.. Pudor was called but, of course,
could do nothing, and Mr.. Rich took
charge of the body.
The loss by fire will be small but there
will be considerable from water. Mrs.
Hagerdon has small insurance
Sunday, friends from West Scarboro,
where the unfortunate young man had
brother Henry, came to Portland with a
team to carry home the body. He will
be buried in West Scarboro

the Brewers, who have been hitting the
ball often and hard of late, could do
nothing with him. Baker also pitched
well, and his support was gilt-edged.
1t was pretty game for the home
crowd-one of the prettiest of the sea-
Rson, and it abounded in fine and sharp
sp1ays.
The Brewers got their only runs in

man to bat and sent hot grounder to

CONTEST IS CLOSE.
Plenty of Excitement in the West
ern LeaGue.

Five of the Western league teams
are so close in the race for the pen
nant that excitement has grown intense
during the past week. Since the mid
die of May the Indianapolis team has
led almost constantly but in the game
at Kansas City on Friday the Mis-
sourians got in front by a few points,
only to drop into second place yester-
day. The game today may put Kansas
City in the lead again. In the mean
time both st. Paul and Milwaukee are
closing up the gap, and the Saints in
fourth place are now but four games
behind Indianapolis in first That St.
Paul has an excellent chance to win is
found in the fact that the Apostles are
now hitting the ball harder than any
other team in the league. On June 1
they were twelve games behind In
dianapolis and on July 81 but. four
games behind.
glance at the schedule of games to
be played between now and the end of
the season, Sept. %, indicates that st.
Paul has considerable advantage over
her competitors. The local team has
81 games to play yet, q at home and "a
away. In this alone there is a consider
able advantage, but there is a much
greater one in the teams with which
st. Paul has to play. OF the 81 games
yet to be played are with Terre
Haute, 8 with Grand Rapids, with
Minneapolis, with Kansas City. 7
with indianapolis, with Detroit and
6 with Milwaukee. 1t will be noticed
that "a of these games are with the
three teams at the foot of the list St.
Paul has already played 80 games with
these teams, winning twenty of them
Of the q games st. Paul has to play
with the four teams near the head of
the list IA are to be played in St Paul
This makes the showing very favorable
for st. Paul. Another item in favor
CT the Apostles is the fact that while
they have so many of their games with
the weak teams, the other teams max
ing fight for the pennant have the big
teams to play with. For instance In
dianapolis has 81 games to play with
the four teams at the top, Kansas City
has 81 and Milwaukee 80. All in all,
therefore, st. Paul has a splendid OPP
portunity to win. At any rate, the
lovers of the national game in this
city will have plenty of excitement
watching the base ball barometer the
next seven weeks.

Special to the Globe.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July N.-The
Blues retained their lead in the pen
nant race only a single day. The
Hoosiers went at them rough-shod to-
day, and by the aid of Fishers mas
terly pitching they won the game cas-
lily by punching their hits on Daniels.
They had a good deal of luck with
them at that for they made the same
number of hits as the Blues, but their
hits came when they were needed to
drive in runs. The Blues could do lit
tie with Fisher, their seven hits being
widely scattered, and generally made
after two men were out. For six inn
ings the home team never had chance
to score, but in the seventh Hernon led
off with a hard single, and scored
ahead of Hatfield. when the. latter
sent hard drive down the right foul
line, which by good running he
stretched into a home run. The Hoos-
iers won the game in the first inning,
when a base on balls and three hits
netted them three runs, and gave them
a lead which the Blues were. never
able to overcome. The game was wit
messed by a crowd estimated at 5000,
and was a brilliantly played contest.

For four innings Their was nothing

ciphers. A chance observer might
have imagined that he was looking in

the veil was lifted and the grinning
monstrosity to which base ball has
come under the long distance pitching
was revealed in all it's hideous form.
Soon the runs were coming in so fast
that the boys on the outside of the
ground, by listening for the gong,
could tell as much about the game as
those inside.

the first to discover the secrets of
Elder Stafford's life, drove the ball
right through Carroll and went to sec

Werden sent fly to Burns, who had
shaken his white shirt for a Grand
Rapids costume, and Hulen scored
Lally getting to second. Straus and
Werrick made home runs. Kuehne hit
safely, but didn't get around.
Callopy went out on a fly to Lally
but Wheelock took a base on balls. A
grounder went from Stafford's bat to
Page, and he lost his head entirely,
spelling sure double by holding the
ball until too late to get either out.
Wright waited for four and the bases
were full. Campbell hit safely and two
scored. Cassidy hit to Page, who this
time got the ball to Werrick. Carroll
waited for four and again the bases
were full. Page let go another pretty
chance, and two more runs were
scored, but INLAND popped up fly to
Werrick and the visitors were still one
behind.

to show his sprinting abilities, which
he made the most of.
