ness rrpr, .rnting an equal number of cities Besides thrrc arc almost as many more organized into state and sectional leagues, while the amateur and scmipro- fessional clubs which arc located all over the Union, will run up into tho hundreds, if not thousands.
 Up to the 10th of August the 30 and more clubs controlled by tho national agreement had played ,, S6S championship games. These clubs employ TOO players, whusr combined salaries will foot up the enormous sum of S1,OOO, 900. Who will say that the American people arc not willing to pay bountifully for sport which they know to be honest and on tho level?
 Baseball as a business however, is not Q sinccurc The game is uncertain, and the stars are more than uncertain. Thero is no living civilized being so hard to con-
 trOl as the average baseball player. The
 New York and Boston clubs have exam pies of that truism this season. Insubor-
 dination and intrmpcrancc have put both clubs out of the pcnnant racc just as they

 home, by which money should be made
 Thcso indiscrctionS of the stars have cost
 their clubs many thousands of dollars. It is no secret that the great RuSie, by
 an inordinatr uSc of liquor during this
 season, has lowered his usefulness and dc Stroyrd whatever chance the New Works

 season, while at Baltimore, Inc was fined
 Sl00 for dissipation, and for a time he put

 out of the race. But ho is not alone in that respect. Nearly every club of the
 major League has a player or several of them who Eivo trouble by indulging their fontlnrss for the use of liquor in OK cess.
 How weak human nature must be
 among baseball players when men of Ru- sio's valued abilities slowly commit pro fcssional suicide! Baseball biography is filled with brilliant instances of men who
 have sacrificed popularity, prosperity, an extended career on tho diamond and even lifo itself for the moro qualification of a
 love for drink. Ramsey, Draslcy, Flint, Lew Brown, Fred Lewis, Sweeney, Bur dock and scores luorc whom could name cut short their career on tho diamond be cause they would not give mp the pleasures of tho cup.

 Has Ruined Many Baseball Stars-Balti-

 With the baseball season of 1895 fast ap- preaching it's end most remarkable show ing is made by the profession in the Unit ed States. In no previous year since the game has been played have there been so many professional leagues and associa- tions, and it is now absolutely certain that, with the exception of the Texas league and tho New England association, all of the notable organizations will go through to the end of their schedules most of them without break in their circuit.
 There, then, is proof that the national game was never so healthy as it is now. It is not only holding its place among oth- CT sports as tho favorito out of doors pas timo among the people of the United States, but it is growing, spreading out and becoming a recognized business which, under tho fostering care of the national agreement, is inviting capital everywhere as an investment. Already the Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia clubs own their grounds in fee simple, which, as real estate investments, arc worth half mil lion, while the New York club for its two grounds pays SEQ, GOO year rental, and tho Brooklyn's lcasehold costs $7, 800 a year.
 There arc more than 50 clubs engaged ill championship contests at this time under tho laws of the national agreement. Tho Eastern and Western leagues and the Western association each of eight clubs, have unbrokcn circuits. The New Eng. land league contains an equal number, while tho Virginia and tho Southern leagues arc working on tho six club basis. Add thcso to tho National leagues F clubs, and there arc more than half a hun, dred centralized professional clubs in busi-

DRUGGED A GIRL.
She Was Rescued From Italians, Who At
 tempted to kidnap Her.


 CORNING, N. Y, Aug. 29.-An attempt was made to kidnap a Miss Mary Cooley, aged 15 years who was on her way from Geneva to this place. Just before the train started Miss Cooley remarked to her friends that she would like drink, but was afraid to drink the ice water for fear it would make her ill.
 Two Italians, woman and a man, who were evidently travelling musicians, heard the remark, and when on the train ten dered her glass of lemonade. Soon after she became unconscious.
 During the journey the Rev. Dr. Law ton of Holley, N. Y., heard the Italians discussing as to how they would get the girl from the train when they reached their destination, and when thS~Italians attempted to carry the uncOnsClous girl from the car he intcrfered. The Italian attempted to draw a revolver. but the Rev. Dr. Lawton anticipated his movement and took the girl from them at tho point of his pistol.

ALUMINIUM ALL RIGHT,

lenders Hull.
 BUFFALO, Aug. 29.-The stories that have been recently sent out from Wash ington to the effect that in the midst of Q race the Herreshoff boat Defender is like ly to crumble to pieces because of the ac- tion of the sea water on her aluminium plates received emphatic contradiction from Mir. James c. McGuire, consulting engineer of the Pittsburg Reduction com pany and formerly an engineer in the em- ploy of the United States government. Mir. McGuire said there was no foundation for the statement sent out that the navy officers had reported that aluminium was liable to decomposition from the action of sea water, nor was that the fact.
 Questioned as to how such a report started, MT. McGuire said that some time ago the navy department had experiment. ed with an alloy of aluminium for use in building steam launches. Zinc was used in this connection and found to corrode. From this fact, no doubt, the recent sto- ries emanated. Since then, however, nick el had been substituted for the zinc and had given every satisfaction. This alloy will be used by tho navy in the construo- tion of all new launches, and it is of this, said Mir. McGuire, that a portion of De fender's plates are made

 When asked what he thought were his chances of winning tho cup, ho said he could not say, as he knew but very little of the Nalkyrie's sailing qualities and was of the opinion that people on this side of tho water knew more about her than he did.

HOLMES UNDlSTURBED.

 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29.-News from Indianapolis that the supposed body of young Howard Pitzel had been located in the chimney of house in tho suburbs of that city was conveyed to H. H. Holmes in his cell at Moyamonsing prison by his attorney. The attorney had n long confer encc with tho notorious prisoner in rela- tion to this new phase in the case and states that Holmes did not waver in his claim that Howard Pitzel had been left in the care of Hatch and Minnie Williams on Oct. 10 last.
 Holmes counsel said that his client is so accustomed to hearing of startling de- velopments in the famous case and has been so frequently accused of crimes which it would havc been physically impossible for him to commit, that a little matter of the finding of a few human bones has not the slightest effect upon him.

The BROOKLYN Strike.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Talk with
the employe of the metropolitan
Traction Syndicate and Of the
third avenue cable road Of this city
prove that the grievance Of the
men are not such as to bring about
a general strike in sympathy with
the Brooklyn trolley road en-
ployees. The metropolitan trac-
ton syndicate employs 5000 mon
on its Broadway, Columbus avenue
and many cross town and belt line
roads. The tripper system is not
practiced on the cable roads to the
extent it is on the Brooklyn troll
ley roads.
President Herbert Freelsnd, Of
the Metropolitan Traction Syndi-
cate said yesterday that he felt
very certain there would be no
trouble whatever on the various
syndicate lines and that the men
were very we'll satisfied with the
treatment received. Samuel Com
pers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor said: 81
hope the men will win. This trip
system is abominable and out
rageous. / think the companies
will find considerable difficulty in
filling the places of the strikers.
The demands of the men are so
reasonable that the companies will
find it more advantageous to con-
cede them to the men than to break
in large number of new men. l
don't think it will be long strike.
The companies will be completed
to see the false position they are
