Ba sc Ball Notes,

The second game in the Steinert cup Sc
ries of the Eastern League was played yes
terday at Buffalo. and resulted in favor of
Providence by II to 13 in a great slugging
match. Drauby made three home runs.
No umpire appeared on Saturday to officl-
ate in the Baltimore-P Philadelphia game at
Baltimore, and Catcher VIM. j. Clarke of

The Richmond and Norfolk teams of the
Virginia League are now playing series
of games to decide the championship Of the
league and incidentally the Nowlan cup.
The Virginia League season was divided
into two parts. Richmond was in the lead
at the end Of the first half and Norfolk of
the last They are therefore playing the
series to decide the championship. Last
Saturdays game was remarkably fine
ore. The only run of the game resulted
from Gilroy's hitting batter and allowing
three-bagger to follow.
Roger Conner left for Waterbury, Conn,
his home. Saturday night. He has been
caused ty a pitched ball in one of the
Washington games. He strained the in
jured member at Louisville and will be
unable to play again this season. 1t Is
hardly probable that he will ever wear the
st. Louis uniform again. Manager Dowd
says that he will get a new first baseman
and shortstop and second baseman for next
year and will play center field himself.

The Giants have no chance to beat the
Pittsburgs out in the race. and 1t is not
safe betting that they will beat out the
Ph!ladelphias. The giants have three more
games to play with the Washingtons, and
then they return home for three games
with the Baltimores.

Joyce's Eye on Mcclure.

From the New York Journal.
The New Yorks are weak in only two po-
sitions and strong efforts will be made be-
fore next season to remedy this. A hard
hitter and fast outfielder will be needed in
left garden, and an AL catcher will also be
signed if possible. Capt. Joyce is thinking
seriously of trying Seymour in the out
field in the spring. Cy has played several
games in the field for the Nets and ac-
quilted himself Eohy, besides he is a good
hitter. With proper coaching Bill thinks
Cy would do. Joyce also has his eye on
Mcclure of the Washrgtons. Mcclure is
good man. and if he could be secured he
would greatly strengthen the Giants

or what is called the head Of the second
division. New York holds an advantage
by being IN possession. though by small
margin. They have six games to play.
whereas the 'Phillies' have but five. 1t
seems to be a toss of copper between
the two clubs prospects, with the adVan-
tage, if any, in the New Yorks' favor.
Over In Brooklyn it will be week Of
anxious expectation-a final struggle to
keep ahead of the Washingtons. One
month ago the patrons of Eastern Park
would have laughed sccrnfully at a sug-
gestion that the Senators would beat them
out. but this morning only eight points
separate the two clubs in the race, and 1t
looks like tenth place for the Bridegrooms.
who are erding the season in a badly de-
moralized condition. Boston and Chicago
are neck and neck in their race for fourth
place. with the chances in the westerners'
favor. Even the Louisville and St. Louis
teams are straining every nerve in a very
even struggle to see which shall occupy
the tail end"
The mcst important contest of the week,
however. Is that between the Cincinnatis
and Clevelands for second place. With
them it is more than a sentiment. 1t means
fl ON 500 to 500 to each player of the team
W hich gets 1.-The place" for that team will
engage the pennant winners in the Temple
cup series and share in the general distribu-
ton of receipts. With their comfor "a bl,
lead and their five final games at home
against the I.ouisvilleS during the last four
days of the week, it is hard to how the
Clevelands can lose the prize. especially as
they are far superior to their rivals in the
style of their playing. Nothing but the win
ming of their three games in Cleveland to-
day and tomorrow will give Ewing's men
anything like an even chance to beat Te-
beau out. and it is hardly probable that the
latter will play double header with his
rivals, since he would probably have moth
ing to gain thereby and much to lose.

Why 1t Wns a Game.

There was some disposition at National
Park Saturday to believe that as five full
innings were not played there was no
game. The rule, which Is follows,
shows the reverse to be the case:
Rule 90. NO game" shall be declared by
the umpire if he shall terminate play on
account of rain or darkness, before five
Innings on each side are completed, ex-
cept in a case when the game is called, and
the club second at bat shall have more
runs at the end of its fourth innings than
the club first at bat has made in its five
innings. In such case the umpire shall
award the game to the club having made
the greatest number of runs, and it shall be
legal game, and be SO counted in the
championship record.

These are practically sure for the op-
position, although there may be possible

After Russell graduated, which was in
1877, he entered the law school of Bos-
ton university and left that institu-
ton three years later at the head of
his class. His early public life was il,
small beginnings, when he became a
councilman of Cambridge. Then he be-
came mayor Of the town and served
four successive terms. In 1885 he ran
for governor, but as he made the cam
paign against great odds no one was
surprised at his defeat. But when the
votes were counted it was found that
he had polled over 10000 more than the
Cleveland electors. In 1889 he went
again to the front as candidate for gov
ernor, and this time he reduced the re-
publican plurality from $4,000 to 6,775.
In 1890 he was elected over Gov. Brack-
EFT, and again he was elected in 1891.
In 1892 he was urged by many demo-
Gratis as a candidate for the presidency.

Fun for BrattlebOreans.

During the past week the denjzens
of the Windham county city on the
MILESTONE have had no end of fun
over the arrest of Beatty Balestier at
the instance of his brother-in-law,
Rudyard Kipling, the English snob
and India word juggler, who resides
in a barn-like mansion, built to his
liking, among the hills of Dummerst, n
that skirt the goodly town of Brat
tleboro. Kippy alleges that Beatty
threatened his life and, as he "didn't
know what was etiquette in such
cases." he had him arrested. The
matter was brought to trial before
Justice Newton on Tuesday. A
large crowd was in attendance in
Guiding several "beastly" reporters.
These latter caused Kippy to remark,
in an undertone, "My God, this is
awful" Haskins and G. C. Fits APP
peared for the prosecution and G. b.
Hit for the defence. Kippy was the
only witness put upon the stand and
he was given five. hour sweater, and
will probably know more about the
"etiquette" of such cases hereafter.
The net result was that Balestier was
held in the sum or $500 to await the
action of the grand jury and was also
placed under bonds to keep the peace
in like sum. Bail and bond was
furnished by counsel.
AS to the difficulty between these
two worthless it is alleged by Beatty
that the snob had been circulating
false stories about his financial con-
dition, hence the attack, which oc-
Cured on the highway. Kippy was
going in to Brattleboro on his wheel
and had "fell off the thing" and be-
fore remounting Balestier came along
encountered, probably, with Jag Of
more or less dimensions, and at once
opened upon his distinguished brother
in law. No one knows just what he
said but everybody knows that the
novelist was thoroughly frightened.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A $4,000 Blaze.

One of the most costly fires that
has visited this part of the State oc-
Cured Friday afternoon in the north
ern part of Peru. The large steam
mill owned by S. L, Griffith of Dam
by was totally consumed together
with large quantity of lumber, es-
timated to be 100000 feet. About
half of this was clapboards. The
loss is probably not much short, if
any, of $25, 900.
AS greater portion of this lumber
would have been drawn to this depot
the loss will be felt by the narrow
gauge.
