MONDAYS PLAY DECIDES PENNANT.

Confectionery Player Is on His
Mettle, Doing His Best to Win.

Baltimore, September 25.--It is again nip
and tuck between the Champions and the
sul glIM 'eoeI luvuusd eul NJ sI9lpI ue9a
Champions scant nose in the lead by
virtue OF having won todays game. With
the finish in sight and but four games left
to play by the one club and five by the
other, a misplay Of amy kind from this
time on viii probably cost the maker OF
the best baseball club on earth. and cause
him TO get smaller instead Of larger
share of the Temple cup money. With
this fact in view, it is now seen that the
players on each side are strainlns every
nerve TO win. Two OF the most exciting
games in the history of baseball have re-
suited from this concGtiorp during tho
present series. and Monday promises to
bring another. Yesterdays game was, a
nerve destroyer ard brought-joy TO the
hearts OF Boston's followers
Today's was another. and, although the
home players were never headed. not a
soul on the grounds felt that the result
was beyond doubt until the last man in
the ninth inning had been retired. More
than 1900 people saw II and not one OF
that number would have missed it for q
farm. All but about $50 of them. who
tonight. and each and every lover OF the
game in Baltimore is prepared 10 swear
that there was never such a pitcher N
the world as Hoffer. for it was mainly by
the superb work OF the wizard" that the
victory rests with baltimore. He batted
well, flelded splendidly and pitched mag
n!flcently. as the score will show. So did
Klobedanz, fer that matter, and not a
man OF the eghteen played badly. the
game being practically without errors,
that of McGraw being quite excusable,
while the stick work was uniformly good
TWO plays which do not figure as errors in
them probably lost the game for Boston.
THIS was an effort upon the part of Collins
to field n nice lattle bunt by McGraw
down toward thrd base. II might have
rolled foul, but Collins accidentally kick
cd it while still In fair ground IT went a
dozen yards o. so into foul territory and
Doyle and Fl 5ffer scored on It, The either
was very excusable muff by Reltz of
hht TO shcrt center, filling the bases and
giving Duffy a chance to score on the
ensuing play on the other hand both
Collins and Reitz did brilliant work at
critical times.
DOYLE and Robinson cut off a run in the
seventh In this wise: Lowe. with Hamil-
ton on third. was caught between first
and second. While Doyle and Reitz were
running him down. Hamilton sprinted for
home but, quick as thought, Doyle re
fine throw and fine catch, and the cap
tam OF the Baltimores sat down good and
hard upon Ithe SLIDING Rostonlan almost
crushing him with his go pounds of solid

The state Did Well.
Pamela Waterman.

tanola Waterman.
The State of Texas has hit the Southern
Pacific for $4,000 In cold cash for allowing
rebates and discriminating In freight rates
against the rules and regulations of the
railroad commission. The State had owl
dence sufficient to bring several thousand
suits and the lowest penalty In each case
would have been $500 The Southern Pa
cific was in the middle of a bad fix and
soon realized the situation. whereupon II
made overtures for a compromise. Ii was
finally agreed that the railroad company
should plead guilty in fifty cases and the
lowest penalty. $500. should be assessed
making total of $4,000 In penalties. The
road also agreed not to indulge In the
costly business OF discrimination In rates
In the future. The State has evidence
against other roads and they will have 10
pony up soon. There seems to be a disposi-
ton to criticise the administration for
compromising, but II appears to the writer
that the State has done extremely well
TO have gotten $4,000 without the cxpepus
OF suit even. Then the object OF the law
and penalty is not 10 mulch the railroad
companies out OF large sums OF money. but

attasns this end and besides the Southern
