cheered almost as enthusiastically as
they would have had their own team
been in the place Of the Bostons.
& - s. There vas an animated scene
at the Eutaw house all the evening, the
''rooters" had their band give a concert
again in the lobby of the hotel, and a
quartet rendered many glees.

game from Baltimore, Boston not only
took the lead in the race for the pennant
but also tied the series, each club having
win six and lost six. Oout of the games
won by Boston, four were won at home
and two at Baltimore. while four of the
defeats were administered in the city by
the Chesapeake and two at the South end
grounds. In batting We lead by II points.
but in fielding the Orioles Just managed
to win out by one solitary point. a pecu-
liar thing in the series is the number of
runs made by the teams, each having 10
to its credit. Baltimore has made more
long hits, leading by one point in three
52ggers, three in home runs and tying the
twC-base hits. In the work on the bases
and in sacrifice hitting. however. Boston
comes out ahead, having made one more
sacrifice and stolen three more bases.
Baltimore News: The Boston rooters
who are here are as handsome a body
of enthusiasts as ever pinned a badge
upon their breasts and invaded the
am of the enemy. They know their
business, too. 1t is not so much the
quantity of noise they make as the
quality. n there is no doubt that they
were of great assistance to the team
from their town yesterday. They were
10 strong, and each member of the
party wore a neat little badge. They
were a good-natured crowd, but they
had nothing to get mad about. They
We're mighty quiet at first, but when
things began TO come their way, and,
what's MORE, remained their way, they
cut loose, just as if they We're home.
II remains to be seen whether they will
go home in as pleasant a frame of mind

DICTATOR BRYAN
Now Undertakes to Run Great
er New York Campaign.
Does Not Believe in Any Kind OF
Non-Partisan Government.
Republican Control with Principles. Better
Than Democratic without.

New York, Sept. 27.-Typewritten
copies of the letter alleged to have been
| written by William Jennings Bryan On
the Greater New York campaign are
being circulated, today, among the To-
cal If, ee silver" Democrats. The letter
is as follows:
"a triumph of the Democracy OF
| Greater New York, except under the
auspices of the issue that animates the
party, will have the same moral erect
as a renewed and affirmed triumph OF
the agencies led by Senator Hanna.
When parties cease to represent GER
tain fixed principles, the supreme pre-
rogative of the ballot becomes prosti-
tuted to a contest between organiZa-
tions for the spoils of office and the en-
joyment of success.
1t is better to have a government by
the Republican party responsible to its
declarations, han government by the
Democratic partsans without RESPONSE
b'lity to Democratic principles. One of
the most fascinating ~fallacies of the
day is the claim that opposition to the
administration of office by partisans is
a principle. SO called non-partisan gov

parties from municipal affairs, invites
r~casonless contests.
Il do not subscribe in any way to the
theory hat good city government is to
BE- found in government without party.
If the dream of non-partisan govern
ment becomes a reality then would arise
a condition of contests for power ue-
tween citizens unions and peoples
unions, each claiming to be the only
original purveyors of purity in govern
ment.
THE proposition to govern Greater
New York through an organization
known as the Citizens Union is one Of
the most vicious heresies that assails
n political progress, and the more
dangerous because of it's alluring
sponsorship. ] would consider it a
calamity if New York begins it's greater
career without the auspices of political
principles and responsibility.
Greater New York will be the un-
crowned capital Of America. This cleo
ton is the most important and infiuen-
tia political event between 1897 and
1900. To suggest that the Democratic
party platform has no place in this cor
test is to admit a doubt of it's wisdom
and places the Democratic party IN a
par with the fallacy of non-political
government.
THE issue is the life of the party not
the garment and to alter or deduct
from the declarations of the assembled
party is mortal injury nor have bat

Cambridge. Mass. Sept. 27.-Thc
Harvard foot ball squad had its first
real taste of the game, this afternoon,
when the first II lined up against tn
second for two good stretches of rcgu-
lar ~scrimmage play. The exhibition of
the york was excellent and the
strength of the first eleven's line of
veterans told in every play.
The first eleven's line was the same
as usual. except that Swain temporarily

Behind the line was Dibble ind Sulli-
van, and both did excellent work, but
Haughton's work at full back is not as
yet up to that of Brown, who took his
place during the last half of the play.
In defensive play the work was nc
as strong and the second eleven made
occasional good gains by their round

POLO sores.
rhs.s Polo Franchises.

Did 1T ever occur to the dozen or more
applicants for franchises in the Maine
Polo League that the situation nigh,
possibly stand about thusly?
First-That the present owners Of
franchises in the Maine Polo Leagus
are the original owners, and backed tn
game when no one else dared AXE hold
of it, n that, as a result of their SC
doing, each n Of them now has "a
good thing?"
Second-That each one of the appli-
cants for a franchise, this season, are
simply asking the present owners. whs
worked up the business to it's presen,
standing and value, to divide their
good thing" with them? Il
Think 1t owe carefully and let there
be an end of the floating talk OF
.meanness," want it all" and afraid
The public at large is too well informed
on the situation to think that the
present will take any other
course than for the interests of the
game in Maine.
Friday next at Rockland the Maine
Polo League will hold it's schedule
meeting. 1t will be positively decided
whether Bangor or any other new
members will be considered. While
there is a strong desire along the line
and especially in Portland for the sea-
son to pen prior to November s, this
will most likely be the opening date,
which is some two weeks earlier thar
last season.
Bangor News: What are Bangor's
prospects for polo this winter?" That
is a question we would all like to have
answered. Present indications are thai
we won't have polo. Two applications
made at the State leagues annual
meeting for a franchise here were laid
upon the table for consideration at 4
meeting to be held in Rockland IN
Friday. 1t is thought that the fran
chise will be refused. 1t is given as the
reason that the expense of coming to
Bangor would be too great, but this
was overcome by the offer of both
parties, who want the franchise, to pay
the additional expense, SO that it is
really no reason at all. Here is, how
ever. what many people consider the
real reason: Walter Burnham wanted
the Bangor franchise. That this is so
is shown by the fact that he en-
deavored to C a lease of the new
musical auditorium for a rink. Burn
ham is quoted by the Portland EXPIRES.
as being in favor of having Bangor in
the league. Undoubtedly that is right,
but the Express could have added, IF
Burnham holds the franchise" This
may all be wrong. and Bangor may get
the franchise at Fridays meeting. We
hope it may turn out hat way. But
talking of polo brings up the proposed
Eastern Maine League to consist of
Bangor, Waterville, Skowhegan and
Ellsworth. No doubt, hat would be
better h no polo at all, but there
are many reasons why it will not prove
practicable. In the first place, there is
no place in Waterville in which to
play the game. which counts that city
out. Then there are grave doubts as
to there being enough interest in Ellis
worth and Skowhegan to pay expenses,
SO, on the whole, Bangor is about the
only n of the quartet that could b.
depended upon.
