Win the Second Game of Their
Final Series After Hard
Fought Battle, Putting Them
Scant Nose in the Lead for the
Pennant-Other Games.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25s-It is again
nip and tuck between the Champions
and the Bostons in the pennant race,
with the Champions a scant nose in
the lead by virtue of having won to-
days game. With the finish in sight,
and but four games left to play by
the one club and five for the other, a
misplay Of any kind from this time
on will probably cost the maker OF 1t
the distinction of being a member OF
the best baseball team on earth, and
cause him to get a smaller instead OF
large share of the Temple Cup" dough.
With this fact in view, it is no wonder
the players on both teams are stralmng
every nerve to win, and that the out
come of the contest is of vital import
ance to them, and of intense interest
to their partisans
Two of the most exciting games IN
the history of baseball have resulted
from this condition during the present
series, and made q promise to BRING
another. Yesterdays nerve-destroyer
brought joy to the hearts of the Bos-
toms followers. To-day was another,
and although the home players were
never headed, not a soul in the grand
stand had any idea Of the result until
the last man in the ninth had been
retired.
More than $4,000 people saw it, and
not one of that number would have
missed it for a farm. All but 1oO Of
them who came from Boston are su-
premcly happy tonight, and each and
every lover of the game in Baltimore
is prepared to swear that there never
was such a pitcher in the world as
Hoffer. for it was mainly by the su-
perb work of the Wizard" that the
victory rests with Baltimore. He bat
ted well, fielded splendidly, and pitch
ed magnificently, as the score will
show. SO did Klobdanz, for that mat
| ter. and not a man of the eighteen
played badly, the game being practi-
cally without errors. that of McGraW
being cutie excusable, while the stick
work was uniformly good.
Two plays which do not figure as
errors in the score cost runs, however,
| and one of them probably lost the
game for Boston. This was an effort
on the part of Collins to field a nice
little bunt by McGaw down toward
third base. 1t might have rolled foul,
but Collins accidentally kicked it while

COUNT BkDENI WOUNDED.
ENGAGES IN A DUEL WITH A
NATIONALIST LEADER.
The Austrian Premier Shot in the
Right Hand, but the Injury
Was Not Serious.

VIENNA. Sept pa pistol duel was
fought this morning between Count
Badeni, the Austrian Premier, and DR..
Wolff, the German Nationalist leader,
arising from insults addressed by the
latter to the Premier during yesterday S
session of the Unterhaus. Count Ba-
deni was wounded in the right hand
DR.. Wolff fought a duel with swords
on May Sth last with Herr Horisa, a
Czech member of the Unterhaus. This
encounter grew out of the violent
scenes which occurred in the House
between the Germans and Czechs, in
which personalities were freely indulg-
ed in.
Count Badeni was formerly Governor
of Galicia. He is a young and able
Pole. and was very little known, even
in Austria, until he was Unexpectedly
called upon to form a Cabinet in Sep
tember. 1895. when he assumed the du-
ties of President of the Council of Min
listers and Minister of the Interior. His
nobility only dates back to his father.
His mothers brother, Count Mier, mar
ried the famous German actress, Anna
Wierer. who eventually left her large
fortune to her two nephews, Count Cas-
inir Badeni, the present Premier Of
Austria, and his younger brother.
Count Badeni's wound is not serious.
The bullet entered the wrist and went
out above the elbow.

yards or so into foul territory and
Doyle and Hoffer scored on it. The
other was a very excusable muff by
Reitz on Longs hit to short 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
Hamilton on third, was caught between
first and second. While Doyle and
Reitz were running him down Hamil-
ton sprinted for home, but quick as
thought Doyle returned the ball to the
plate. Tt was a fine throw and a fine
catch, and the Captain Of the Cham
pions sat good and hard upon the slid

with his $50 pounds of solid weight.

CHICAGO, Sept. pa special to the
ETribune'' from Washington says;
AS an answer, Great Britain, atlef
Seeming to agree to a conference De
tween Canada and the United States
to discuss certain phases Of the Behrlng
Sea question, has declined to be par
ty to the conference if Japan and Rus
sia. are participants, and it is not un-
likely that the delegations Of the Unit
ed States, Russia and Japan Will pro-
ceed with the consideration of the ques-
tions at issue without regard to Wheth-
er or not Lord Salisbury changes hl6
mind. This may, however, cause some
delay.
General John w. Foster, the special
Enbassador of the United States in
the sealing fisheries negotiations, Sc
cured the acceptance of Russia TO par
ticipate in the conference during his
visit to st. Petersburg this summer.
Japan also sent an acceptance.
Notification of Great Britain's change
of attitude was received at the State
Department. Lord Salisbury, in his
brief answer to Secretary Sherman's s
sensational note Of May 10th, accus-
ing the British Government of bad
faith in the seal fisheries matter, Sig
nified his agreement to the proposal for
a conference to be held in Washington
next month, and said that Canadian
representatives would attend.
In order that there might be no mis-
unders tanding concerning the compost
ton of the conference, Embassador
Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury that cit
may not be out of place for me to
recall to your lordship that, as I have
already had occasion to mention, the
President expects the Governments of
Russia and Japan. Powers interested in
the preservation of the seal islands Of
Behring Sea, to be represented at the
conference"
The ambassadors note was sent to
Lord Salisbury last July, but he wait
ed until this time, just on the eve Of
the proposed conference, before making
the discouraging answer received.

cent visit of Emperor William to Buda
Pest, Emperor Francis Joseph and the
German Emperor discussed the Inter
ference" of the United States in the
affairs of Spain, the Austrian Emperor
pointing out the serious embaTTass-
ments which this interference had
caused the Queen Regent and the Gov
ernment of Spain.
The "Gaulois' adds: ''Probably Ger
many and Austria will do all in their
power to prevent the situation becorn-
ing pmbittered, although unwilling to
interfere too directly. Similar views
are said to have been exchanged be-
tween France and Russia; so, if the
occasion arises, the European powers
will find themselves in agreement in
sisting that a policy of conciliation and
peace must prevail"

the reports be submitted to her, and
she will then decide whether or not the
necessity exists of joining in the confer
ence. If the reports point out rem
edy in the situation, the result can be
arrived at by agreement between Great
Britain and the United States without
the necessity of a conference, which
was only accepted ad referendum. In
any event, j. is probable the United
States will obtain as much as If a con-
ference was held"
RUSSIA SUPPORTS AMERICA.
LONDON, Sept 25.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon publishes a
dispatch from Paris giving the sub
stance of an interview with Pierre Bot
kin, formerly Second Secretary of the
Russian legation at Washington and
now Russian delegate TO the Behrlng
Sea conference at washington. who
sails for New York from Hamburg on
September Both. in which he is quoted
as saying he does not contemplate any
difficulty in coming to an agreement on
the sealing question, as he believes the
excellent reports of Messrs. Jordan,
Thompson and Grebintsky will enable
the delegates to arrive at prompt and
friendly understanding.
Mr.. Botkin expects the conference to
last six weeks, and he anticipates that
the results will he the signing of a
treaty embracing the concessions each
of the .ur powers is inclined to make.
There is every reason, he adds, why
Great Britain and Japan, the heaviest
sellers in sea1skins, should come to an
arrangement with Russia and America,
in order to prevent the determination of
the seals.
Throughout the interview Mr.. Bot
kin seems to support the American con-
tentions. He says America and Rus
