STANDING OF CLUBS.

BalClmOre, SepIeHiuei II. A>ooii ~
$4,000 people saw the Boston base ball
club beat the Champions to-day and
take the lead in the exciting race for
this seasons championship. One hum
dred and thirty-five of these people
were Bostonians, who came over to
root" for their fellow citizens.
Bedecked with red badges and arm
ed with tin horns, they made noise
enough for ten times their number,
and tonight they are in an excessive
ly cheerful frame of mind
Not so with the rest of the crowd.
They have no excuse to make for
the beaten champions. The game was
fairly won by superior playing, time
lier batting, better base running and
sharper, cleaner fielding, in which
Hermann Long and Tenney played
probably the most conspicuous parts,
two of Longs and one Of Tenney's
catches being of the most sensational
order.
At first it looked like an easy vic
tory for the Champions, when the VS.
itors went out in One-two-thred order
in successive innings and the Orioles
had two TALES tucked away, but there
was a change in the fourth, when
Doyle, usually faultless in his fielding,
fell over an easy bounder right into
his hands, gave Stahl a life and let
Tenney in with a run. This piece of
bad playing was followed by fit of
hard luck, when Stencil banged a
three Dagger but was instantly caught
trying to come home on Doyle's easy
one to Collins. A period of democrat
ization which does not show in the
score overlook the Baltimoreans at
this juncture, and two runs put the
visitors in the lead.
This lead would have been over
come, as the sequel shows, but
Brother Joe" clinched it for the WIS.,
itors by presenting them with two
runs in the seventh, a throw over
Doyle's head in trying to field an easy
bunt, wild pitch and another fall
down on a simple little grounder by
Doyle, netting these runs after gilt
edged chances to retire the side had
been offered and lost 1t seemed quite
the ninth, when Doyle, ReitZ and Rob-
inson singled, one after the other,
sending Doyle in with run, and Reitz
followed with another on McGraw's
single, Quinn going out in the mean
time on long fly to Hamilton. With
four runs in, two men on bases and
only one out, it looked good for Balti-
more, but Long jumped way up into
the air, pulled down Keeler's red hot
liner threw it to Lowe at second and
doubled up Captain Robinson, who
had incautiously lit out for third when
Keller hit the ball. This ended the
agony, and the score tells the rest.
The Boston 'rooters,' headed by
Congressman John F. Fitzgerald, Of
that city, hired a brass band tonight
and gave the victors a serenade and
reception at the Eutaw House. To-
morrow they will take the band to the
grounds to help root" for the visitors

SMOOTH CHINESE.
They Use the American Exclusion Act
as a Means Of Getting to China

San Diego, Gala, September 24.-Six
Chinese were captured before daylight
at Dalzura, thirty-five miles east of
this city, on the Mexican border.
They were in the act of entering
American territory. Simultaneous
with their capture comes the story
told by Sheriff Jennings, to the effect
that the wiley heather have taken adj
vantage of the deportation law to Sc
cure for themselves a free trip home
to China whenever they wish to go.
This state of affairs, it was learned,
prevails as far east as Ell Paso. The
sheriff there, who was in San Diego
recently, told Sheriff Jennings that
the great numt = of Chinese recently
captured had lea. o evidence that they
deliberately caustl their own capture
for the purpose of eoing back to China
free Of charge.

CdLtOBs OF Il NFech.
NEW YORK, September 2f.-The steam
ship Andes of the Atlas line, which arriv-
ed here to-day from Port Limon and
Hayti points, encountered severe weather
and heavy seas. Mate Hayden said that
off Cape Hatteras the waves were 70 feet
high and seemed to come from all direc-
tons. When they broke together near
the ship. the decks were covered with
spray. At times the deck of the Andes
was almost perpendicular. The heavy
seas continued until Barnegat was reach
ed. About thirty miles south of Barnegat
there was observed in the sea the deck
house, apparently of a schooner five or
six barrels of vegetables and much plank
ing. There were some chairs and bits of
upholstery, too, in the wreckage. They
may have been washed off the deck of a
schooner or possibly a ship may have gone
under.
