STARTED LIKE WINNERS.
The Orioles Took the First Temple
Gun Came.

The Baltimore Sun says of yesterdays
game in that city between the Clevelands
and Baltmores for the Temple cup:
Truly, the Orioles have started out like
cup winners. For the last two seasons big
Cyrus Young has been terror to the
Orioles. and the games they have won
from him have been few and far between.
He won every game he pitched in last
years c3p series and every game this year
except one. and that was because he was
being overworked and had but one days
rest between games.
But the champions went at him yester
day in an entirely different spirit from
that which they usually display before
I'm. They knew that in order to win the
cup they would have to beat the mighty
Cyrus somehow, and they went at him
with vengeance. The score OF to l in
the home clubs favor shows what success
they had.
On the other hand. Hofrer. Wizard

himself a veritable wizard" of the first

eagerness to hurry the plays, the contest
was sharp. fast. brilliant to a degree. and

enthusiasm all the time. 1t was an ideal
day for base ball, only trife. perhaps too
been expected. but it paid as well a
crowd twice it's size, for the price of ad-
mission had been doubled. 1t numbered
1895 as it vas. On the housetops over
looking the ground the prices doubtless re-
manned the same.
For once the CIevelands seemed uniucky.
Not only is Cuppy disabled, but their able
commander. Tebeau, sprained his back in
| the third inning in hitting at ball and had
to leave the game, OConnor taking his
place. Tebeau was suffering so much that
he had to leave the ground and was at
tended by physician in the cottage Of
Groundkeeper Murphy, who kindly offered
him its Use. Tebeau may be out of the
game some days. which will be blow TO
the Clevelands prospects.
McCiraw OvereXerted himself in the third
inning and had a Slight attack of weak
ness. Quinn went to third and played 1t
well. McGraw said he would play today.
If Manager HanIon. after seeing him
practice this morning, thinks Corbett In
good form, he will probably put the young
ster in to pitch against the Clevelands in
the second game of the Temple cup series

THE CURBsTONE ORATOR.
Had Financial Figures at His Finger

Had Financial Figures at His Finger
Ends, but Was Fairly Stamped.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
He was a curbStone orator. with pompa-
dour hair and a quick. scrutinizins glance,
as If looking for some one to disagree with
his personal appearance.
When he found himself on a street corner
near the office Of a big newspaper in the
midst Of a crowd of men wrangling over
the blessings Of free silver. free lunch and
free everything. he was at home. He was
one of type Of orators, not always met
on the curbstone, and his forte was sta
tistics. This orator carried a whole maya
zine of figures in his head and shot them
off with the ease and rapidity of a Hotch-
kiss gun.
His statistics were not always right. In
point of fact, they We're never right, but
this genius had solved the labor and money
questions by making up his own statistics
as he went along. and for a long time he

His method was quite simple. When adj
dressing knot OF citizens on the question
of bond issues the curbstone orator would
demand In fierce accents of denuncfation:
What was the national debt in 1897?
What was it, 1 repeat? Wasn't it five bill
lion nine hundred and ninety-nine million.
nine hundred and njnety-nine thousand.
nine hundred ana nlnety-nlne collars ana
ten cents? Wasn't ii, my friends?'
The mere thought of such row of fig
ures is formidable even for college pro-
fessor, to say nothing of the curbstone
crowd, and the people in the knot would
hang their heads guiltily, as though they
had robbed the government, while the
orator would continue:
Now, my friends. our enemies talk of
George Washington and the coinage laws.
Were not the exports of iron in 1856 eleven
million eleven hundred thousand tons? Did
not the first tariff law make an ad valorem
per cent on old T rail? What was the total
crop Of wheat in 1877? Wasn't II 1400o.000
bushels, and didn't it sell for Sl.372s per
busheI? Who can deny these facts?"
No one would be able to deny his statis-

when one night he came to grief.
He had just asked the crowd is the ma

when a short man on the edge of the gap
