Raspberry Jam and Many Other Things
Are Not Pure.

All Providence is stirred over milk

it laid to germs which may have Travelled

OF the State and city. Bat ordinary
Pawtuxet water has not come into the
usual approximate share of blame this
year and still less has been said about
salicylic acid. According TO experts this
acid is in almost everything. ii is said
that this is the acid hat eats tin when
the air reaches it. IL IS used as a pre-
servatlve and is found in almost every
thing. Housewives do not use il but the
manufacturers claim they cannot get along

DEMORALIZED GIANTS.
How They Played "ROly Poly" With
Their Chances.

How They Prayed ''hOAy rory WIN
Their Chances.
O. P. Caylor in the New York Herald
If the man who hauled load of potatoes
up a steep hill only to see the taflboard of
the cart fall out before he had crossed the
crest of the declivity will call upon Cap
tain Joyce of the Giants he may get few
pointers on forcible expression He came
down here full of the desire to win three
of the four games, and he has lost three.
The defeat today was enough to break his
hits to the Senator'S seven, they lost
through errors of commission and omis-
sion. ~
Stafford. in left field. gave an exhibition
of Mark Twain's jumping frog. 1t was not
a pound of shot which weighted Jim, "
but the pie at luncheon must have been
pretty heavy. He should have caught Far
rell's fly In the eighth. which lost the
game, and one of the two Washington
home runs should also have been an easy
out. had he started when the ball was hit.
Three bad errors in the fifth. after two
were out. cost two runs. First Warner
muffed an easy foul after two were out;
then a grounder went through Geo. Davis.
after which Gleason fuInbled an easy ball.
After these five easy chances for put-outs
Mcclure made a hit and two men scored.
Warmers muff of a twenty-foOt foul In
the first and passed ball cost a run. In
the eighth, with two out and man on
first. Gleason played "roly poly" once more
with the third chance, and Lynch gave
Cartwright a base on balls unfairly. Far
rell batted for Norton and sent fly to left
field. Stafford misjudged it by starting In
on the ball. 1t went over his head and
three runs were scored. The Giants had
one run in. men on second and first, one
out, and Gleason at bat in the ninth, when
Lynch called game, though 1t was light
enough to play ball after the team got to
the hotel.
Under the circumstances. Seymour
pitching was splendid. With all the muf-
ing and buffing behind him, the boy never
lost his nerve, and he deserves a double
measure of praise for his good work. Clark
IS keyed up for the champions today.

The Correct Score.

Yesterdays score was 0 to 8. Many
thought that the score should 60 back to
the eighth inning, but the following rule
shows that is not the case:
Rule "a. If the umpire calls game on
account of darkness or rain at any time af-
ter five innings have been completed the
score shall be that of the last equal in
nings played. except the side second at bat
shall have scored one or more runs than
the side first at bat. in which case the
score of the game shall be the total number
of runs made"

If New York had a good catcher a second
baseman, shortstop and left fielder, with
another first-class pitcher. it would rank
with the team of 1894 and stand a show
for the pennant.
Jimmy McJames is one Of the best, if
rot the foremost of the young pitchers who
are now experiencing their first season in
the major league. Next season he will be
one of the stars" says Capt Joyce
II will say for Tom Brown that he Is
fortunate in having one Of the best corps
of pitchers In the league" says Joyce.
| The Washington club has been playing
gocd ball for the last few weeks, and yes

principal reason of the teams bracing up
is the excellent, even brilliant pitching of
McJames and the good work also of Mercer
and young Observation-Disclosures Sun.

SCHMELZ RE-ENGAGED.
Great Work of the Senators During
the Past Season.

the f0St season.
Mar ager SchmelZ of the Washington
Base Ball Club has been signed to manage
the team for another year. and Mr.. Wag-
ner feels confident that the local team
will do even better than this year. Mr..
Wagner estimates the work of the local
team this year not from the fact that it
has secured ninth place, a position higher
than any season since the Washingtons
have been in the National League. but
from the great increase in percentage over
last year. 1t may not have occurred to
local patrons, but the Washingtons have
increased their standing over last year at
this time more than any club in the league
In other words, they have shown the great
est improvement this year of any team.
Every one experienced in base ball mat
tiers knows that building up a great team
is slow work. Going up step year is
good progress, but a better indication of
improvement is an increased percentage.
By the tables printed today it can be seen
that the Washingtons percentage is .125
higher than last year this date. The i'm.
provement or its lack in percentage of the
clubs is shown by the following:
Baltimore. .O45 inc. New York. 900 dec.
Cleveland. .O16 dec. Phila........ .131 dec.
Cincinnati. 900 inc. wash. .125 inc.
Boston,. oil inc. Brooklyn. .O97 dec.
Chicago. OO1 dec. st. Louis. .O03 inc.
Pittsburg... OO7 dec Louisville. .O19 inc.
From the above table it will be seen that
| tie clubs that have done better than last
year are Baltimore, Cincinnati, Boston,
Washington. St. Louis and Louisville. And
| of them all Washington has done by far
| the best Even Cincinnati, although it
| jumped from eighth to third place. did not
| show as great improvement in its work.
| Cleveland. retaining its position of year
| ago, has fallen off. The despised tail enders
| have done better than the highly praised
| Spiders
The percentage of the Washingtons when
| Joyce left wss .425-over a hundred points
| better than the record of the year before
| hut Mr.. Wagner believes that If Mr.
| ScLmelz had had charge of the team the
| entire season the percentage would have
| been much higher and the club would have
| been in the first division.
| Realizing that changes are fatal to the
| success of team. Mr.. Wagner has signed
| practically the same team for next year.
! All but three of the old men have signed
f.! for next season. There will be no more ex-
| perimenting and efforts will be directed to-
| ward improving and developing the present
| team.
