VERMONT AVALANCHE.


 Largest Plurality In History of Yer mont-Only Four Towns Give Ma jority for the Free Silver Ticket-The Senate Solidly Republican.
 St. Albans, Vt, Sept. 3.-When the republican plurality in the gubernato- rial election was set at upward of 8. .0nO the statement was based upon calcuTa- tions which were fully justified by the practical completion of the returns to- day. Only five towns are yet to be heard from, and Major Josiah Grout. the republican candidate, has a plurali- ty of 3S,S16. The missing towns are Brunswick, Landgrave, Sherburn, Somerset and Westfield In 1892 these towns gave republican plurali- ty of 161, and in 1894 of 19S Should the figures stand as they did last year it will make plurality of 39004, but if the republican gain holds good in these towns, as there is every reason to be- lieve it will, the final figures will be about 39,077, Great republicans gains were made in every county and the total gain is 37 per cent over the vote of 1892, with which all comparisons are made. The figures now stand: Grout, republican, 53,329; Jackson, democrat, 14,513. These are the latest official re- vised figures, and show the largest vote ever cast in the state, and the largest plurality and majority ever rolled up by Vermont republicans.

GEORGETOWN WON EASILY.
The University of Virginia Tenn
Had an OFF Day

III any doubt existed prior to yesterdays
game between Georgetown and the Uni
Versty of Virginia that .he wearers of the
blue and the gray were superior In base
ball 1t Is dissipated. The University of Vir-
ginia nine not in It for a minute.
Eleven errors to Georgetowns six, eleven
hits to Georgetown's twenty-three and
eleven runs tC Georgetown's thirty one The
University Of Virginia seems to dote on IL,
but the sooner it gets that figure out of its
mind in relation to errors the nearer it will
come to winning a college championship
Mahoney pitched for four innings and
struck out three men, He was then re-
ieved by Lambert, and although that play
er was just recovering from illness, he
struck out the first two men up The
ing and Mahoney making two-base hits,
Harley, Mahoney and Lambert making
three-ba gers and Harley, Reardon and
Mahoney making home runs.
Georgetown won the game In the first in
ming, when ten runs resulted before the
University of Virginia woke up to the fact
that they were engaged with a ball team
After that hard batting and Indifferent
fielding allowed them to make about as
many more runs as they pleased. But for
ell that the game was not devoid of inter-
est or enthusiasm, and the spectators
many of whom were Virginia rooters, made
plenty of noise to spur the tagging players
The second game will take place today,
and it is probable that Mahoney will start
In again to do the pitchirg going out for
that reason yesterday after the fourth in
ming. The game will be a little closer than
yesterdays contest, and the University of
Virginia boys feel confident that they will
make a little better showing Mr. Heydler

general satisfaction. The score:

How the Clubs Stand.
PITCHERS GREAT WORK.
Senators Held Down to Two Hits and
Browns to Four.

BrOWnS to Four.
Breitenstein and Mercer were pitted
against each ether yesterday, and the IA
nous south-winged twirler had somewhat
the better of the argument. He held the
Senators down to two hits, struck out six
men and gave three bases on balls. Mercer
allowed the Browns but four hits, struck
out one man and gave three bases away.
1t was the finest pitchers battle this year,
and the visitors lose none OF their prestige
in dropping a game to such a pitcher.
Washington's two runs We're made on a
two-bagser by Lush. who was sent to the
bat in place of Brown, and an error by Nj
land Had it not been for the error Brett
enstein would in all probability have shut
the Sena tors out. The Browns made their
runs in the first on Dowd'5 hit, Cooley s
base on balls Joe Quinn's sacrifice, Con-
norS base on balls and Myers hit to short
stop, which allowed Dowl to score, while
Conner was forced at second. the second
run being made by Cooley stealing home on
the play to catch Myers at second. In the
seventh Breitenstein made a double and
Cooley a triple, the latter bringing in the
second run of the inning on Joe Quinn
long drive to Setback.
Inability to bat Braitenstein was the
prime cause of the loss of the game, the
lefthanderS being poWcrleSS before the
SOuth-paw. Selbach lost 4 nome run through
PARROTS fine catch, and the same fielder
spoiled long hit for Rogers in the eighth.
Setback also robbed Roger Conr.or of at
least a three-baSe hit after a long spllnt,
ard his fielding generally was up TO the
standard.
In the second inning Setback made a
scratch single, and went to third OH Nc
FarlandS wild throw On McCiuira's hit to
Quinn SelbaCh came home and crossed the
plate III time, but Emslia declared Kim out,
Mcfarland admitting after the game that
the plucky little left fielder was safe. Joyce
and Umpire Emsle had exchange of
courtesses. and Scrappy narrowly escaped
a fine.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-05-16

Ewing to Umpire Emslie, when Gray was
at the bat in the fifth inning Rogers would
squat down every time Maui pitched, and If
Emslie's decision didn't suit him he would
wave his arms in disgust. In fact, there Is
no time when the game is close that the
Senators haven't about five captains. The
addition of Rogers has not helped to make
drawing room beauties of the Senators, as
Emslie called him down several times. The
game put up by the Senators reminds one Of
the St Louis Browns in their palmy days.
Every man kicks, whether he has one COM
ing or not, and when one fellow makes a
good play the rest of the team jollies him.
1t is not bad example for other teams to
emulate. The jollying feature is certainly
ccmmendable, as it makes the player think
that he has some license to be in the game
and thus installs confidence in him. Joyce
is bound to make a good showing"
