FIELDING AVERAGES.
TAUNTONS WON OUT.
The Pawtucket. Could Not Score After
the Second Inning.

The Pawtucket. Could Not Score After
the Second Inning.
Manager Irwin and his men from Taun-
ton are hungry for victory just at pres
ent. John may have been playing the
game on Boston Common when the Bos-
tonians threw overheard the taxed tea in
Boston harbor and all that, but he is still
active enough, and Saturday was as spry
as a colt in ten acre lot The fact that
the Taunton Herald devoted a column of
loaded editorial TO the improperly OF hav-
ing losing team in that burg might have
had something TO do with the case, but the
fact remains that Pawtucket patrons could
not recognize the nine as the same team
that played here but several days before.
At that time II was evident that the Taun-
tons were due TO furnish every other club
with material for diurnal picnics unless
there was decided change In the make
mp OF the aggregation.
The change came and the Pawtuckets
vent. At the receiving end there was Dan
Burke with slusger stanhope in right
field. George Moore ate up difficuir
grounders with apparent ease Mt third,
while Joe Harrington, an ex-National
Lacquer, cavorted around the short field.
Mullen and Fertch were the men sacri.
fced at the outset Of the contest, and the
Taunton man received the worst OF II AZ

hits, with total OF ten bases being the

Todd for Mullen, and then began an In

The poor success OF the Pawtucket ball
team the past week In winning but one of
the four games played was not due to any
lack of work with the stick. Every man
on the team with the exception Of Cough
lin, Todd, Moss and Mullen are batting
over the 800 mark and the fielding has
been up to the standard.
Capt. Stouch's work has been first class
in both departments Of the game, he hav-
ing accepted every chance offered without
an error, besides hitting the ball safely II
times out Of 20 times up.
Weisbecker still leads the procession In
batting, although he fell off considerably
until the last game, " hen he succeeded in
making a clean RECORD. The averages are
as follows:

other hand, Callahan pitched steady and
effective game. The Tauntonians went
into estacies over his brilliant work. He
had several kinds of speed, and proved his
worth in the eighth inning, when, with
one out and Stouch on third base and
Whiting on second, he struck out Moss
and Buelow.
After the early stages OF the game the
fielding was of the star order and both
pitchers received good support. Stouch,
Coughlin, Moore and Herwig did the best
work, couple OF stops which the Paw
tucket third bsseman made and a catch by
Moore bringing the crowd to its feet.
The batting of Weisbecker was the feat
ure of the game, two singles, double and
a home run constituting clean record.
Stouch, Whiting, Harrington and Irwin
also hit the ball hard and often. The score: !:

CRISHAM'S HOME RUN

Saved Newport From Shut Out at New
bedford.
NEW BEDFORD, May 17.-Had it not been
for home run by Crisham in the last half
of the ninth inning, New Bedford would
have shut out Newport in Saturdays game
here. The home team pounded out eight
runs in the first two innings, with Kelley
pitching for the visitors. The latter was
replaced in the third by Foley, who kept
the hits well scattered, except in the
fourth. After that it was pretty contest,
with sharp hitting, snappy fielding and
dou BILE plays by both sides. The summary:

Scranton defeated Providence in two
this afternoon. The first was pitchers
battle, with honors easy until the eighth
inning, when Braun was batted hard and
freely and four runs were gained.
In the second game, the Grsys did very

hitting was weak. But for . lucky home
run by Lyons with the bases Alled they
would have been shut out. A crowd OF

measure was sure to be passed, the sooner
ii was enacted the better for the country.
He has taken his stand in favor of protec-
tion as a principle. He has accredited him.
self as the Randall Of the South.
In his New Orleans speech Mr.. McEnery
made some telling statements. He enectu-
ally pUnctured the sophistry and insincer-
certify of those who affect to be HORNED at
the 'monstrous burdens" OF the protective
system. His courageous stand while II VIII
at first create establishment among the peo-
pie Of the South. will soon make him the
biggest man below the Mason and Dixon
line.
He removed the mask of free trade pre-
tension by boldly stating that the Demo-
cratic party had never given any support
to free trade, and that the tariff for rev.
enUe only" in Democratic platforms has
always meant incidental protection. He
called attention TO the fact that every OPP
ponent Of the Dingley bill was in favor of
protection for some local interest. and that
these very interests would have been in
jured by the defeat of the bill. He practi-
ticaIly Endorsed protection as essential TO
the highest development OF the resources Of
South.
But the hardest blow given his own par
ty was in his upon the sugar
schedule-the point upon which the dema-
gogues and fre-eaters have concentrated
their most abusive epithets. Those who
have characterized the Dingley sugar
schedule as a trust measure" should heed
the words of the Louisiana statesman when
he says:
THE Wilson bills schedules were, 1t is
well known, dictated by the sugar trust.
The Dingley bill, as presented TO the sem
ate, eliminated all trust influence and gave
a schedule satisfactory TO the sugar pro-
ducers. but not in accordance with the
demands Of the sugar trust. . . The
features of the house schedule were main
tanned. The government experts
who nave figured out the schedules esti-
mate the protection afforded the trust at
from 25 TO 80 per cent less than that afford
ed by the Wilson bill"
The attitude OF senator McEnery is only
one of a number Of indications that in
spite OF the power of political tradition, the
principle of protection will, in the course of
time. get substantial support from the
South.

THE PRAIRIE STATES.

pursuing his series OF articles on the
Progress Of the United States Mr.. Michaei
q MuIhsII. in the August number OF the
North American Review. takes up Wha' ne
Classics as the prairie states. the RAPID
deveIopment Of which he regards as I'M
eoualed in the history of the world.
II is shown that in the interval between
1850 and IS9O-to which period these reviews
have been confned-the population OF these
states has increased 25 per cent, while the
increase for the whole Union has been lC5
per cent for whites and los for coiored'
The foreign population is lowest in In

10 per cent.
The acreage Of improved land has in
creased from 27,2lO.OOO in 1850 20 1S4.So'co In
1890. while the average per inhabitant has
Increased from five to eight acres. the
largest average being In Kansas 0ourteen)
and Iowa .Ghirteen). This astounding
growth in cultivated lands may be more
clearly appreciated when it is stated that
# is equivalent to an average increase Of
1900 acres per day for forty years.
The grain product has increased from
hfty-eight to IFS bushels per inhabitant'
and the yearly meat product has grown
from SS4, 900 tons in 1850 to 2,1SS.OO tons in
1890.
The natural advantages Of the prairie
states for agricultural operations and the
superiority of the machinery employed are
shown by the fact that the annual product
per hand is $50 bushels OF grain and l,65O
pounds of meat, five lines as great as
the rate in the most advanced countries Of
Europe, and much greater than in any
other group Of states in this country.
such has been the industry of the West
ern farmers that their wealth increased
ninefold in forty years, the value Of farms
in the twelve prairie states in 1890 being
equal to the agricultural wealth of the
Austrian empire" says Mr.. Mulhall. I'VE
find that during the said forty years the
average number of persons engaged in
farming. according 70 census reports. was
10000. the increase In farming wealth

Profitable Dealing in Flour.

From the Morning Oregonian.
Talking Of the expected rush to Alaska
next year. J. B. Montgomery says:
1t reminds me Of the Chill Flour Com
pauy's venture in 1850. At that time | had
a kinsman. Mr.. William G.. Moorehead. who
was United States consul at Valparaiso. in
Chilli. His consulate, previous TO the rush
Of the goldseekers for California. was
worth less than 5000 a year. The ships
that sailed around Cape Horn all stopped
at Valparaiso to take in provisions and
water. The fees increased his income so
that 1t reached $4,000 per annum. Mr..
Moorehead was a man of affairs. He had
been a merchant in New York before he
was a consul. He saw his opportunity. He
consulted with Mr.. Washington and Mr..
Whitehead, who were English merchants
in Valparaiso. They formed a company;
each put in 500 capital. Mr.. Moorehead
then rode some hundred miles down the
coast to the -four mills at Conception. and
made a contract to take all their output
for Sc per barrel, delivered free on board.
II cost 81 more to take II to San Francisco.
In 1873 he told me the outcome OF this VEN
ture.
"A few lays before the first arrival in
California a man came into Mr.. Moore

ITO cut the story short. Moorehead told
me they concluded the terms at $3.50 per

cleared $4,000 on the first cargo.
