who occupied the box for the visitors, was
knocked out of the box in the second anC
third innings, but the manager of the en-
emies of Spain did not see fit to change
him, and he remained throughout the
| game. His play resembled side wheeled
excursion boat of the old type, with list
| to starboard. At times he would be quite
rapid, and other times very slow, his work
| was erratic.
Manager Smith tried three of his pitch
crs and none of them were very steady.
Donovan pitched for two innings, and
while speedy did not have good control OF
| the ball. Leach, who followed and tried
his luck for two more innings, also had a
decidedly off day, and during his admin
istration the visitors scored eight runs.
McCafferty, Manager Smiths latest ac-
QUESTION, did the work during the re-
mainder of the game. He went in to pitch
after an all night ride on the cars from
Wilmington, and it is hardly fair TO pass
judgment on his work.
The Pawtuckets took the bat in the first
inning and scored two runs. The Insur-
gents made four after two of their men
had gone out. Three of the men who
scored were given their base on balls.
In the second inning Beaumont made
home run, bringing in two runs, and as
Coughlip had scored before, and Smith
and Stouch followed suit, five runs went
to the credit of Pawtucket. making the
score to 4 at the end Of the first half of
the second inning. The Cubans added two
to their score in their half and the score
was to z In favor of Pawtucket, and so
the game went on. The runs were made in
chunks, and at the close of the game the
Pawtuckets had a surplus of five runs.
There were but eight innings played, for
by this time most of the spectators had
gone home to supper, and the game which
should have taken about two hours to
complete required Father Time to pass
out nearly three hours to play out eight
innings.
During the progress of the game % men
were sent to first on poor pitching, seven
were accorded the same privilege for being
hit, and 10 of the 81 runs were earned. So
there you have it. The Pawtuckets, with
the exception of a little wild throwing to
first, played good fielding game. In the
first inning Beaumont made great stop
of hot liner from the bat OF w. jackson,
and in the last Whiting made pretty
catch of a sky-scraper in his garden.
These were the only real features of the
game, although the base running of 2l5

The aggregation of Zulu ball players
known as the Cuban X Giants landed in

clusions with the Pawtucket team on the
Dexter street grounds.
''They age not colored-they were born that
way"

vouch for that fact, and anyone that re-
mained throughout the game will also
vouch for the fact that 1t was somewhat
arctic "a regards atmosphere. Most of the
patrons Of the game sought the bleachers
ppon hich the sun shone.
The game was a long, tiresome contest
with no startling features to break the
pnonotony. The patrons OF the game yes
terday went to listen TO amusing remarks,
funny coaching and clever ball playing on
the pert of the chocolate ball players.
They were disappointed in every partic-
uiar. The Giants moved most Of the time
as though under the influence of chloro-
form, and the frequent delays, discussions
and arguments with the umpire were as

The game, a. far as the colored people
were concerned, was tiresome and un
satisfactory.

BANQUET TO MR.. MCCARTHY
PROMINENT KNIGHTS OF COLUM-
BUS DO HIM HONOR.
In Recognition Of His Jealous Work in Behalf
OF the Organization.

About 100 members of the Knights oi
Columbus were present last night at the
banquet rendered Eugene j. Mccarthy
Past State Deputy of the Knights OF
Columbus of Rhode Island. The cordial
reception given Mr.. Mccarthy showed
plainly the high esteem the members OF
the Knights have for him.
The banquet was held in Gelb's Parlors,
and with a few exceptions all who were
fortunate enough to receive invitations
were present to do honor to the Past State
Deputy and to show their appreciation for
the excellent work which he performed
while he was in office.
Following the banquet Edward DIV.
O'Connor, chairman of the committee of
arrangements, introduced Past District
Deputy Daniel ii. Sullivan as toastmaster.
After appropriate remarks he called on the
honored guest as the first speaker.
In responding Mr.. Mccarthy spoke ut
length on the workings of the order and
thanked the members in general for the
assistance rendered him while in Office and
also for the honor those present conferred
on him. Although not holding an office,
he would still continue to do all In his
power to strengthen the order.
Other remarks were made by Past State
Deputy Miles A. McNamee, Past State
Delegate George A. Clegg, John f. O'Neil,
John Jolly, Hon. ID. +. Mccarthy, Jere-
miah A. Murphy, p. J. Mccarthy, Esq,
Joseph Cole, p. III. Quinn, James j. Nc
Govern, John j. Devenish, Councilman
Malloy and j. f. Sheridan. In very
smooth, but appropriate manner the fes-
tivities were brought to a close by remarks
by Hugh V. O'Donnell.
The committee in charge of the arrange
ments of the affair and to whom great
credit is due, consisted of Edward ID. V.
Chairman; James j. McGovern,
Secretary and Daniel III. Sullivan.

since it started its circulation has in
creased at rapid rate, and on

necessary to start the press again af-

seems to be but little doubt of his
election to morrow, when the paired
Republicans are on hand to make
quorum. Two or three Republicans
refused to vote Saturday, but they
are holding out for promises and will
be whipped into line. Two of the
goidbug traitors also voted for Deboe
and the third may do so. This gives
him 70 votes to secure the necessary
10 from, and the end of the long con
test appears TO be at last in sight.
