Chicago at Pittsburg.
Washington at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept 27.-Outside
of a little contingent of faithful Bos-
ton ''rooters" who are making merry
at the Eutaw house, there is no joy in
Baltimore tonight. Boston has taken
the rubber in the critical series, is
ahead in the fight for the pennant and
there seems to be but little probability
that the Champions can save it. Hof-
fer the Wizard" Nops, the South
Paw" and Brother Joe" Corbett all
went down like ripe grain in a hurrt-
cane, before the terrific onslaught of
Boston's batters, until what seemed
at first to be a victory for the home
team was finally turned into rout
the like of which has been seldom wit
messed on a ball field More than 25,
coo people saw it done. and that they
witnessed the downfall of their favor
ties with perfect good humor, gather
ing about the victors and cheering
them heartily at the finish, gives the
lie direct to two stories that have been
current regarding Baltimore's base hall
public, viz: that it does not patrOniZe
the game and that 'rowdyism" is the
rule upon its grounds. There have
been few, if any, crowds as large in
the history of the game.
The story of what happened today
may be briefly told. First came the
awful struggle at the gates for tick
cts, then the straining, pushing and
fighting for admission, then the scram-
BILE for places from which the diamond
was visible, until every seat had an
occupant, every inch of standing room
was pre-empted and men and boys
clung, spider-like, to fences, fagstaffs,
telegraph poles or any other point of
vantage. The Boston "rooters" with
their brass band formed so small a
part of the vast throng that they sank
into comparative insgnificance. but
the band played on and the ''rooters"
rooted and shouted just the same.
Finally the teams came on for prac-
tice and then in due time play be-
gan. and the multitude settled itself
down to watch the battle. First Bos-
ton made a run, then Baltimore made
two, then each made three. and the

SAUK CENTER, Mimi, Sept. 81
Notice has been served on Mayor
Townsend to appear for trial Wednes-
day for mal-feasance in office. The
cause of his trial is the outcome of an
attempt ON the part of a few members
of the council to purchase piece of
property to be used at some future
date for city purposes. The mayor re-
fused to sign the warrant and for
time the council waited to catch him
out of town and have it passed and
signed by the president pro tenn.
Raffled in this they found no other
way for carrying out their plan than
by declaring the office of mayor va
cant and preferring charges against
him for "willfully, arbitrarily and un-
lawfully and without sufficient cause,
neglecting and refusing to sign his
name to said order, ETC." The case is
attracting considerable attention and
will probably be held in a public hall.
