PRETTY RACE FOR THE FLAG
New York Expected TO Finish N
Strong Washington Has Al
Chance 10 Move Up, But No Dis
appointment Will Be Felt IL the
Same Old Position Is Occupied.

Although the baseball public in Wash
ington is not wor ked up TO the highest pitch
OF enthusie SIN so far as the Senatorial ag-
cregati,n is concerned, they are very much
interested in the mighty struggle between
tbeleadersof the League, Boston an d Balti-
more.
theconclusioa that the Senators are destined
to befound at the END OF the seasonin about
the same old place as of yore. III by any
chance they should rise TO a place near the
top of the second division, they think 1t
Will be more by accident than design, and
that is the cause of their indifference at
present.
A prettier race for the flag has never been
witnessed. The Beaneaters and Orioles are
SLOWLY tut surely drawing away from the
others, and everybody expects to see a
neck-and-neck struggle between the two
until the wind-up, with the games between
Boston, Baltimore, and New York liable to
throw the pennant' to either OF the two
foremost clubs.
1t is not believed that the Giants will be
able to get much nearer the leaders, but
win finish strong third. Indeed, little
change among the four teams a. the bottom
OF the first division is looked for, unless
Patsy Tebeau's Indians should catch the
Reds, which is very probable, as Ewing's
Braves have developed that yellow streak
on Their Eastern trip 20 nearly the same
extent as last season, yesterdays win
from the Giants being the first victory in
the last ten games played by the Porko-
pulitans It.is possible, however, for the
Colts to exchange places with one of the
second division teams.
With the other half of the League, leay-
ing out Won der Ahe's Little German
Band, it Is anyhody's race for the honor
OF leading the little six. The Pirates, II
Killen and Hawley do an ything like as good
work as they are capable of, stand a good
show to turn the trick, as they have a
larger number OF games to play at home
than any of the rest, although the Louis

How Tie Claims He Turned Trick
and Won the Last Game Here.
Man. ger Donovan turned neat trick In
the last game a. w ashington, and the genial
Patsy has been throwing bouquets at him
self ever since in consequence thereof, says
the Baltimore Herald.
With Pittsburg one run ahead, Wash
ington went in to finish up the ninth in
ming. Two men were out and Mcclure on
third base. 1t was very dark, and the Pi.
-ates were clam0ring to have the game
called, but Kelly wouldn't have it.
Tom Brown waso1 the coachline, watch
ing for an opportunity to get MCGUIRE
across the plate. Alittle misplay was made
in the infield and Tom started full tilt
down the base line, hoping to confuse the
Pirates and make them think it was Nc
CURE. The only man fooled, however, W as
the umpire. He thought it was Mcclure,
and supposed that the run had scored.
Donovan, catching on to Kellys mistake,
ran in and said. well, the score is tied
now. why don't you call the game?''
And, sure enough, before the Senators could
say word, Kelly called the game, under
theimrression that the score was tie.

BACK TO HIS OLD VOCATION.
Jack McAulif1e, Tired of Fightiog.
Goes to Coope ring,

UotS W SoollCTibS.
After ten years of comparative luxury
ana ease, Jack MICA ulifre The famous pli-
Glilst, has returned TO his old occupation
decade ago he was cooper, and toua he
can be found wor king on his old bench in
the Williamsburg, n. Y, shop.
During his absence from ms trade Nc
Aullffe has won and lost several fortunes.
He became champion I'm short order, and
Corners.
wcarying of this sport, McAuliffe turned
MS attention TO the race tracks. His luck
was phenomenal. He amassed fortune
In Few days, and set all the members of
ms 1amily up In business and then tried to
nouble his fortune. He refused to take the
advice OF friends, and soon lost all the
money that he possessed. This caused him
to return TO the prize ring. A couple of
tictUfies gave him some much needed CAPT.
tai Then he blossomed forth as a book
maker.
He lasted but few DAYS before he was
he had many, came TO his assistance, and
ne made quick Roadway as a plunger and
soon had money to squander on wine and
other pugilistic extravaganza
He backed a theatrical company, and like
many other angels lost the company some
where between New York and the Pacific
slope. He was again compelled TO re-
enter the ring.
His temperance was not a success. and
but for the referee he must have lost his
laurels. II was plain to his friends that he
had lost elasticity OF limb, speed and Won
derful hitting powers. He was a wreck of
the man who had bounded into fame but a
few short years before.
After several attic npts to win hack his po-
sition, he became the manager of several
dubious unknowns. The questionable fights
be had engaged in himself and the queer
antics OF his unknown men cost the once
popular pugilistnearly all tn friends he had.
As last resource, McAulffe decided to
work for living, and, as he said yester-
day as he sat at his bench with the per-
spiration pouring from his brow: Il can
safely say, from shirt sleeves TO shirt
sleeves in ten years. I have not quit the
ring for good. II / find, after few
months hard work, that / have regained
my health and strength, ! will endeavor to
get on another match. In the meantime,
however, I shall stick to my bench"

A Successful Business.

A proprietary medicine to be really sue
ccssful must have some intrinsic worth.
Without this, advertising, however extern
sive, availeth nothing. Among the most
successful medicines that have been found
worthy of all the merits claimed for them
are DIR. Railways Remedies, established
and used for nearly half n century. They
have become household medicines
throughout the world. In some places,
sparsely settled, where doctors are diff
cult to obtain, people, by the judicious
use of DIR. Railways medicines, keep
themselves in health. Then, again, there
are physicians who, in their practice, use
DR.. Railways Remedies, obtaining better
results than when using their own pre-
scriptions. Railways Ready Relief, Rad
ways Pills and Railways Sarsaparilla
Resolvent, three different medicines. be-
ing a complete medicine chest in them
selves, are used each for different phases
of disease Chattanooga Times Nov. IA,

Rush to the KIondike.

The railroads are confidently expecting
big rush of travel to the Klondike in the
spring. 1t Is estimated that fully 100, 600
people will attempt to reach the gold fields
as soon as the winter is over, and with a
desire to turn nimble penny at every op-
portunity trunk lines are beginning to pre-
pare for the expected rush.
One of the first in the field is the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, which will on
Tuesday, Dec. p, begin the running of
the through tourist car from New York
City to San Francisco without change
by way of Philadelphia, Washington,
Parkersburg and Cincinnati, reaching St.
Louis Wednesday evening, Texarkana
Thursday afternoon, lei Paso, Tex, Fri
day evening and San Francisco Sunday
morning.
This service is in addition to the one
provided by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road from Pittsburg by way of Cincin-
natl and the Illinois Central to New Or
leans and the Southern Pacific through
to the coast, the Pittsburg car leaving
every Wednesday. The New York car
on its return leaves San Francisco Mon
day evening and the Pittsburg car leaves
on Thursday.

garment, we argue, makes quite as

Fine as this looked and sounds. the
redingote really is not as generally use

who neglects her street jacket for the
sake Of her opera cape. For young
girls nothing is prettier than the close
back, shield front jacket: Two Of these
are shown in the third picture. These
jackets are cut rather longer on the
hips than other jackets are, and are
MAJ of any heavy kersey material,
mu't have n high collar topped by a
fiaring finish at back and sides, and
may or may not be fur-lined. Braiding
is usual, and many pretty effects sug-
costing the curves of the figure are Sc
cured by fancy braiding along the side
seams. Such jackets do not usually
match the rest Of the costume, and
therefore they are of very general use.
The blouse jacket Is more In favor
with the older sister, or the girl a little
more exactly up to stylish date. 1t Is
very short on the hips, and many mod
els fit the figure to the belt with entire
precision. with no trace of blouse. The
shield front is adapted with entire sue
cess to the blouse, and revers of fur
are set on others quite as IL the Jacket
were Of the more conventional type.
But the belt and the short fiaring skirts
below 1t rate the garment as a blouse
beyond question. OF the two presented
here, that in which the shield front was
counterfeited was dark red cloth trim
med with black braid. A bit Of fur
came at the wrists. Cuffs, revers and
collar Of the other jacket were seal, its
material being dark gray broadcloth
finished with tucking.
