CUP WON BY BALTIMORE
FIRST TIME ANY CLUB HAS TAKEN
1T TWICE IN SUCCESSION.
PIayed-SmaII Attendance at
Yesterdays Contest.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.-THE Temple cup
will stay in Baltimore another year. 1t has
been won twice in succession for the first
time in it's history and if the Orioles take
it again it is theirs absolutely. The former
champions also take 60 per cent. of the
money paid in at the gates during the three
games in Boston and the two played here,
while the winners of the pennant will get
but 90 per cent, unless, as is generally be-
lieved, the players have agreed among
themselves to divide the spells equally. To-
days game, like all the others of the series,
save the first one, was an easy proposition
for the Baltimoreans, who won much as
they pleased. while the visitors never ap-
peared to think they had any chance what
ever. The attendance was so small that
the management refused to give the exact
number and so utterly devoid of enthusiasm
that scarcely ripple of applause occurred.
The spectators. appeared to be glad when
the game. which was one of the shortest
on record, was over and also that the sea-
son was over with it. There may have been
a thousand people on the grounds, but a
better estimate would place the attendance
at $50. This fact, in view of the pleasant
weather which prevailed, indicates that
Baltimore baseball enthusiasts have had a
surfet of the sport for the time being and
that they do not look on Temple-cup game
being anything out of the ordinary AT

many of the players left for their homes,

ence last night and its restoration gives
further evidence of Mr.. Whitesdes natural
gift of stage craft. Mr.. George Hoey, the
veteran actor who played with Booth and
Barrett and who is now associated with
Mr. Whiteside as press representative,
never saw the scene put on the stage until
last night II is in no prompt book eXtant

may pick up any modern edition of Bulwer
and not find this comedy scene.
1t is interesting to know how Mr.. White
side rediscovered it. His explanaCi zion is that
when he first read Bulwer's plays he was
fourteen years old. He remembered the
strong impression on his mind He remem-
bered the old comedy scene, but after years
had passed and he desired to produce the
play he noticed that particular scene had
been omitted from the prompt books he
could find He remembered the scene as
one laid near fountain. 1t worried him
that he could never find it and could find
no one who had ever seen IL produced. Last
summer he spent a day in Bretano's New
York house, going through all the copies
of 'sRichelieu" the firm could dig up, but
without success. Then he went to the Astor
Library and in an old edition of Bulwer' s
plays his search was rewarded with finding
the lost scene. Instead of ii being laid at
he did find that at very interesting sit
uation when the lovers were trying to rid
themselves of the kings spy. Julia naively
told the spy she had lost her glove in the
garden near the fountain" and desired
him to find it, Naturally when Mr. White
side read the play in his boyhood, he had
a mental picture of the fountain and until
his eyes saw the missing scene he thought
the fountain figured in the play
There are two other obsolete scenes which
Mr.. Whiteside has found and he promises
to restore them in his production next sea-

Principles of Fiction.

Edgar Saltus, in Golfers Weekly.
Mr.. James Lane Allen tells, in the current
Atlantic, what fiction is. 1t possesses to
this gentleman q number OF principles and
these principles he prints in capitals. That
is quite right Mr.. Allen is a novelist, and
q very good one. Advertisements should be
always conclusive. Then, too. though these
principles are eminently praiseworthy, they
don't seem to lead to much. A list of the
cardinal virtues or even of the cardinal sins
would be as instructive. 1t is certainly the
misfortune of the fabulist that he must un-
derstand all things, the base as well as the
beautiful; but unless he can depict both,
unless he can hover over beauty with a love
that fingers and revolt from the base with
Shuddering Scorn, won't say that his util-
ity may not be apparent, but Il may say
that his receipts will be scant. A playa
good play--is a slice of life artistically
staged. A noyel-a good novels the the
alter in pocket form. The principles UNDER
lying it's manufacture are immaterial. 1T is
the result that tells. The one question re-
garding a novel concerns it's interest. Does
it in exchange for your so cents provide you
with a dollars worth of oblivion? Does it
make you read it? There all the KudoS lies
For the production of fiction of that variety
every novelist worth his syndicate begins
by having principles of his own 1t is when
he thows them to the critics, when he thinks
alone of his story, when he becomes hallu-
cinated by it, when he has found out how
to make his reader laugh and cry and wait,
that he has acquired the one real principle
of the trade.

Park-..Hogan,s A1ey..

"Hogan's Alley" has a number of I'M
usually clever speciality people, who do
their work well and who are excellent en-
tertainers. Eddie ODell, the tramp of the
piece, does a turn in the second act that is
a vaudeville gem. He has schemed out an
acrobatic act that is new in it's line. With
it he mixes lot of bright talk that amuses
the audience while his twists and queer
turns put the finishing touches on the act.

shows that rain fell in some places quite
heavily last night for a considerable dis
lance west of the Mississippi valley north
ward in an irregular line to Canada and
eastward along the southern border of
Pennsylvania to the Atlantic coast with the
exception of Florida. The depression which
was central over Minnesota this morning
Is moving in a Southeasterly direction and

New England and middle Atlantic States
region. During to-day it continued to rain
eastward to the Atlantic coast south Of
Pennsylvania line and the conditions are
favorable for continued moisture In that
region the weather is also quite warm, the

the Central Southern States say the back
bone of the long, trying dry spell has been
thoroughly broken and relief has come to
suffering thousands of human beings as well
as animals and parched and thirsty plant

night and during the early morning hours
was the first which has fallen for six weeks
and dire consequences had already resulted
from the drought, with worse to follow if
relief did not come. Sickness of man and
beast, resulting from the choking dust and
the lack of a supply of water in the country
districts and great damage to crops, were
some of the consequences of the drought

PARCHED SOIL SOAKED
AND DANGER OF A SHORT WHEAT
CROP PROBABLY AVERTED.
Rainfall Is General, and Quite Heavy
in Some SectiOns-First Wetting in
Two TO Three Months.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Rain fell generally
to-day throughout the parched belt of the
Western States and the long. disastrous
drought has at last been broken. Reports
from Kansas Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois Mis-
souri,, Arkansas and Minnesota show quite
general rains, with indications of continuing
during the next twenty-four hours. The
rain in Nebraska is the first of any conse-
quence that has fallen in that State for six
weeks, while Kansas is receiving her first
wetting for two months. According to the
Weather Bureau, an unusually extensive
area of low barometer extends from the
Rocky mountains eastward over the Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys and the lake region.
Within that area since Saturday morning
general showers have fallen. The heaviest
rainfall reported is at Wichita, Kan, where
2.SS Inches were registered. The tempera-
ture is above the normal in nearly all Sec
tons except the Southwest.
The drought just broken has for severity
and wide area of country affected never
been equaled in the period covered by au-
thoritative record in this country. Crops
have suffered, fruit has been blasted. fires
have leaped up as if from spontaneous COM
bustion in field and woodland, and every
moment of the time since the middle of
August has been crowded with danger to
cities. Farmers have been hauling water
for their stock-even buying the fluid in
many sections of the country. Many small
towns throughout the country have Suf-
fered severely from fire Conservative es-
Inmates place the reduction in acreage of
winter wheat at % per cent Thousands of
acres throughout the affected district have
never been plowed the ground being in such
a condition as to render farm work next to
impossible. To stock raisers the rain is a
godsend as pastures which have been dried

In many localities it has been necessary to
feed stock for two or three weeks past

of drought in Delaware county was broken
slightly this morning with a rainstorm that

wheat will be p1owed up for corn next

holding it, and many of them believe that
it will sell for $3.50 a bushel.
