Boston wins the First Game In the Temple Gus
Series.

BOSTON, Oct. Tho old champions went down
In defeat before the new ones this afternoon In
the first game OF the Temple Cup series. The
game was loosely played, q curious medley OF
hits and errors. with an occasional brilliant bit
Of fielding by way of spice. Neither team played
in anything like championship form.
The real feature was tho crowd which over.
ran the field, and made necessary a ground rule
that q ball hit into the crowd should DO good for
two bases only. The place OF honor was reserved
for the Boston no ters who made the trip to Bal.
timore with tho champions. Two hundred
strong they occupied chairs In the field in front
Of the stand, cncroeching on the field clear up
to the players lines. They were in good form
after their fatiguine work in Baltimore and
Brooklyn and led in giving a royal ovation to
each Boston player as he stepped to the plate.
Duffy, Collins and Nichols were the especial
favoritcs of the crowd.
Nichols and Nops were pitted against each
other, and, SO far as base hits went, Nops had
the better of tho argument. Nops, however,
was wild as q hawk, and of the seven Boston
players he sent TO first on balls no less than Ave
scored. This was the deciding factor in Boston's
victory, for not an Oriole got to frst without
hitting the bail.
Nichols received miserable support, tho error
column inadequately telling the story. Duffy
was the only man who played q really high
class game in the field. Duny was also a power
at the bat, his three singles tguring in 4
runs. Lowe. Long. and Bergen also did timely
hitting.
outielded them as well. Jennings hit like a
tiend, as did McGraw. Kelley, aud Doyle. KEEL
ley played a fine game in left, and Jenpings's
shortstopping was a treat. The only depart
ment in which Boston excelled, aside from her
steady pitching, was on the bases, where dash
ing work carried the old champions off their
feet.
The game was an uphill one for Boston, who
Jagged in the rear for five innings. A batting
rally in the sixth put Boston in. tho lead. and
after a see.saw fight, the last three innings in
tho dark. the champions won out. Lewis re-
lieved Nichols in the seventh. The score:

 Following is the letter of MT. Mckee:

 At the meeting or the state associa- tion held in Huntsville, April 2S, it was A1esolved to render such aid to the Nash will Centennial, and Alabama exhibit as lay within the power of the association. F The president was authorized to name a committee of nine persons who were to Cooperate with the commissioner of agriculture in his work.
 In pursuance of the plan I have visited Nashville, had a conference with Maj. Culver, and beg to announce some in- formation not generally known.
 Space has been obtained in two build ings in the agricultural hall, 4Sx1S ard 23x30 feet, has been assigned Alabama. In the mineral and forestry 71x1S feet has been assigned.
 This space is now being arranged and properly decorated under the direction of the commis sioner.
 T ansporta tion-Free carriage of all ex- hibits to the state is offered by the rail- ygcompanies, and tags can be had by addressing the secretary of the commits sfon;sH. c. Mccall, Nashville, which are to be used in ma rlking for transportation
 Installing-The commissic ner will re- ceive upon notice of shipment and n- stall all exhibits sent to him, free of charge and will make proper notice of such exhibit.
 z Exhibits-The commissioner desires counties corporations and individuals to send suitable articles Prompt answer to inquiry will be made by writing Maj. l. F. Culver, at Montgomery, or Nash vile. Success is already assured but this may be greatly amplifed by our CO., operation. Let this be quick and full. I will thank parties who are willing to serve on this committee to advise me.
