leased by Taunton. is playing left field
on the Clayton IN. JD nine. In this
league he finished with the extremely
low batting average of .182. His field
ing average was 1928.
Long has reached the 300 mark in
batting and has a fielding average OF
1897. He and Hernon have stolen more
bases than any other two men on one
team in the league. the former having
26 TO his credit.
Schrecongost. formerly Of the Brock
tons and the Fall Rivers is doing good
work behind the bat for the Shamokin
club OF the Central Pennsylvania
league. Mckenzie. the old Brockton
stortstop, is filing the same position on
the Shamokin team.
Baltimore will he at Crescent Park
tomorrow and will not want TO allow
the Maroons 10 beat them. Todd will be
in the box for the Maroons and the
south paw will do his best. II will be a
good chance TO see how effective he
would be in the big league.
Boston made the cranks all over New
England happy by winning the game
yesterday. just do ii once more to-
day.
It's great race in the big league and
IL the Beaneaters do not get a hustle on
them the Orioles will again land at the
top as IL looks now as though Boston
alone can come in ahead of Hanlon's
men.
The Brockton Enterprise man says
that the Brockton papers do not
know that there is but one correct way
TO score a play. He must be fooling.

Pawtucket got a game Friday which
should have been won by the Whalers
With no great effort as their work in
the field was fast enough TO win any
game. but at the bat they acted like
dummies and when chances were Of
fered to score they seemed stuck to the
bases.
McCafferty and Sechrist were sent
against each other and 1t was a pretty
even, thing all through the game, both
pitchers having good control and hold
ing the battres down to small hits.
The game was interesting as the spec
tators were anticipating brace on one
side or the other and were trying to
figure out when IL would come.
But Ii ended as IL started and when
the last man had been retired the home
patrons were kicking like steers, think
ing that the Whalers did not half try
for the game.
Coughln and Heine were the stars OF
the game. the fielding of the former

is already possible to note the ex-
cellent outlook in South Dakota
for next year. There is ne dry
stubble this year. The wet weather
has grown a thick coatipg of rich
grass over the cut grain fields, and
when this is p%lowed under it is the
best fertilizer know to hnsbandry.
These green fields are now being
plowed under and the result will be
an exceedingly rich and good con-
ditioned soil for the planting next
year. The state will also show an
increased wheat acreage, and 1898

The calamity platform is in a bad
way. Events in the past few months
have demonstrated the falsity of the
assertions that no prosperity could
come without the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a false ratio.
Reports from every section show a
marked increase in business, farmers
paying their mortgages, prices of
agricultural products good, more
money coming into the country for
our productions than aver before in
a single year, silver-using nations
abandoning that metal and going to
the gold standard, largely increasing
productions of gold, the international
bimetalsic conference now almost a
certainty, the tariff bill a law, man
ufactures reviving, and all of this in
spite of the persistent claim of the
siiverites that none of these things
could happen without the free coin
