AND OLD NEW ENGLAND GETS IT.
Baltimore Lost nj Washington ana
Boston Won From Brooklyn.
Great Enthusiasm.

Brooklyn, September 30.--Although Bos-
ton has one more game to play with
Brooklyn and Baltimore Will play two
more with Washington at the Monu-
mental City. the race for the league pen
nant of 1897 practically came to an end
with the conclusion of today's game at
Eastern Park. Boston won, while WASH
ington trounced the champions, which
leaves Boston the undisputed champions
for 1857. Even should Baltimore win both
their games, they can only attain per-
centage CT 700. Should Brooklyn win from
Boston Saturday the latter would still
have percentage of 7oi. The excitement
at today's game was extraordinary. In
the second inning, when the Bostons
scored five runs. which gave them safo
lead. men and women alike rose In their
seats and yelled frantically When the
lead became so great that there was no
hope for the home team the most faith
full yelled for joy and FOR time nobody
could hear anything else but tho yelling
for Boston,"
Young Dunn was put in the box to do
the new champions, but Captain Griffin
might as well have stood up a wooden
man. The Bean Eaters had their batting
clothes on ard the faster Dunn tossed the
ball across the plate, the harder Captain
Duffy's men could land them out The
only trouble was that the batting was all
on one side. The home team could do
but little with Klobedanz. the Boston
twlrler. About the only time they hit
him with any effect was in the third in
ming, when they scored all their runs. The
fielding, like the batting, was all one
sided. Boston's work In the field was
simply marvellous. Nothing seemed too
hard for them to get Lowe and Long
alone cut off four hits by their brilliant
fielding. Attendance, 1850. Score:
