Heavy Batting Characterized Yester-
days Game at Boston.
Baltimore and Boston played the second
&c me In the Temple cup series at Boston
yesterday before gathering of more than
6,000 persons.
The Baltimores won out after one of the
best all-arcsnd games seen in Boston this
season. Their fielding was almost perfect.
McGraw making the only misplay, losing a
high fly after hard run.
Corbett started off with slow ones, then
warmed up and cut them In with speed,
but It was all the same to the Boston men
when he got them over the plate. He gave
several bases on balls and they proved
costly. Finding that his curves were easy
marks, Corbett started in to win his own
game, and he succeeded in putting In a
single of Klobedanz and trimming Stiv-
etts for a single. double and a home run.
klobedanz pitched nearly five innings.
He gave three bases on balls and was hit
safely nine times with total of sixteen.
Stivetts came In to stem the tide and was
touched up ON the first ball pitched for a
home run. After this the big fellow set
tied down to good work, holding the old
champions for two runs In the last four
innings.
In the first inning McGraw hit a triple
and scored on a pretty double play of the
next two men.
In the second Baltimore scored three
cdiueu runs oH TWO singles. Clarke'S triple

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, October 6-The
decision, Smith WINS rendered by George
Green in the Smith-Dixon fight Monday
night does not deprive Dixon of the feath-
er-weight championship of the world The
Marquis OF Queensberry rules provide that
all championship battles shall be to fin
ish. Had Smith knocked Dixon out in any
of the twenty rounds, or had Dixon's sec
onds thrown up the sponge, or had Dixon
failed to respond to the call of time in any
Of the rounds. Smith would today be the
feather-waight champion of the world
But, as 1t was, Dixon at the end Of the
twentieth round was strong and belliger-
ent. consequently he did not surrender the
championship by Green's decision. The de-
cision was on points, and nothing else. In
ORDER that Smith may acquire the feather
weight championship of the world he must
fight Dixon to a finish, which he declares
he Is ready to do at any time.

garded as an eminently fair one

ALBERT G. PORTER DYING
THE EX-GOyERNoR,s DEMISE ONLY
A MATTER OF A sHORT TIME.
Has Been in Failing Health for over
a Year-His Fall Upon
the Street.

Ex-Governor Albert G. Porter is dying
at his home, 1913 North Capitol avenue, and
his family announced yesterday that there
was little hope of his life extending through
Monday. For the last two years or more the
health of this distinguished Indianian has
been failing, but the news of his approach
ing demise win come as a surprise to his
host of friends throughout the State. Very
few public men in Indiana nave been as
popular or as we'll known as the ex-Gov-
ernor. Since his return in 1893 from Italy,
where he represented this Nation, he has
been engaged little in active life.
About a year. ago Ex-Governor Porter,
while walking along the street near the
Institution for the Blind, was seized with
a fainting spell, and had to be carried to
his home. 1t was thought at the time that
he was suffering from an apoplectic stroke,
but this was shown to be untrue by his
physician. A rush of blood to the head
caused the sudden illness. From the day
he fell on the street dates Mr.. Porter's Sc
rious illness, and while he has been out in
a carriage since then there was little hope
for his ultimate recovery. Several weeks
ago he was out in the yard at his Capitol
avenue residence. Within the last few days
complications have set in, which showed to
his family that death was only a matter
of a very short time. During his illness he
has been surrounded by his sons and his
daughter, Mrs. Augustus l.. Mason.

TENDED TO be wasted, and it is Impossible 10
produce the oil without wasting the gas,
hence It was intended that the gas be used
hfst. Let US see who these people are VINO
are proposing TO waste the gas. Certainly
II is not the men that have invested large
sums of money to pipe this gas to cities
and houses; it is not the men that have
invested largely in manufacturing enter
pflses; 1t is not the citizens OF Indiana; but
n~lne-tehths OF them are from ONO, rem
%sylvania and Illinois and other States, who
have interest in Indiana only for what they
can make out OF ii, and what they would
make tney would carry out OF the state.
Many OF them are. irresponsible, are spec
ulators and would waste a million dollars
worth OF gas to make $4,000. Ihere are
others, such as the standard Oil Company,
VINO are able to wait Until the gas Is
You think that these people who are pay
ing big bonuses for these oil leases are
taking a good many chances?'
Yes, sir; unless they are in the manu-
featuring business or furnishing gas TO the
cities. 1t is all right for owners OF pipe
lines or manufacturers TO take these leases,
but rest assured they will not waste the
gas. They will use the gas first and wait
their time for the oil. So. L would say to
these gentlemen, come here and lease some
land, build a factory. utilize the gas, and
then you can have the oil. This Is just
what we are doing"
Then you think that the persons that are
interested in manufacturing and in using
gas as private consumers Will see that the
law TO which you have referred Is en-
forced?'
Most assuredly. What are we on this
earth for but self-protection?'
Are you interested in the development of
oil?"
Yes, sir. I am the president of the In
dianapolis Oil Company and we have drilled
thirteen wells in the oil field proper. We
got one gas we'll, and we closed it and used
it for a gas. Well, and we have wasted no
gas to speak Of"
Does the Indianapolis Oil Company pro-
pose to go into the Alexandria field and
drill for oil?"
we may drill for oil in the Alexandria
field, but If we do, we will see that the gas
is utilized in some mandatory and not
wasted in the air.
What. effect will it have on the farmer
to preserve the gas?"
1T would be far better for the farmers
to lease the land for gas and get well rent
ais for four or five years, and then get a
per cent. of the oil, than to lease for oil
and have their gas destroyed. If l were a
farmer and a man anne to lease my land,
the first question / would ask him, Are you
a citizen of Indiana? Do you propose to
use the gas and then develop the oil?' The
next thing l would inform myself on is,
as to whether he was responsible and had
the ability to carry out the leases that he
proposed to make. Citizens of Indiana will
never waste the gas or oil, either. Patron
1ze home manufacturers, lease oil lands to
manufacturer and pipe lines"

G. A. R. CANDIDATES.
Seven in the Field for state COmman-
der-in-Chief.

Thu office of department commander of
the Grand Army in Indiana will not go
begging at the Richmond encampment.
which will assemble May II, as the list of
candidates shows. There are seven of them.
Taken in alphabetical order they are:
J. S. Dodge, Elkhart; b. &. Campbell, An
derson; j. II. Cisney, Warsaw; J. w. Head
ington, Portland; w. D. Mccullough, Bra
zil; Irwin Robbins, Indianapolis; John A.
Swoveland, Upton.
The activity of Department Commander
Caylor during the past year will make the
position one which will reflect no credit
upon a successor who does not make his
influence actively felt. Commander Caylor
has visited a large number of the counties
in the State, holding large meetings, in
which he has met the greater part of the
active members Of the organization. The
office has no salary, so that Mr.. Caylor is
out several hundred dollars. There is said
to be q feeling that his reelection would
be a good thing for the Grand Army in spite
of the one-term precedent. 1t would be
quite as we'll to have no commander as one
who appoints an assistant adjutant general
to write his orders and sign them by COM
mand Of
one of the topics which will come before
the is the re-establiShmen of
a separate office of assistant quartermaster
general and dividing the salary now paid to
the assistant adlutant general for perform
ing the duties OF both oIflceS betWeen two
men. The proposition was voted down by
an emphatic vote a year ago, and similar
action may be expected this year, because
there is not enough in the salary to make
it suffice for two men and not enough work
for two men. If there are two men the
typewriter would be dispensed with, and in
the extensive correspondence a typewriter
is essential.
The state meeting of the w r. c. at the
same time promises to be one of more than
usual interest. A very eager contest for the
presidency is going on between the friends
of Mrs. linn, of this city, and Mrs. Travis,
of Charlottesville. In a canvass over such
offices the ladies can give, the Grand Army
men many points and yet beat them.
ichmond is making systematic arrange
ments to take care of all who attend the
encampment. Thanks to the energy of Con-
mander Cayior and General Passenger
Agent Ford, of the Pennsylvania lines, who
is a Grand Army man, who is mainly in
strumental in making a cent-a-mile rate,
tho attendance promises to be the largest
for years.
The Indiana C~ommandery of the Loyal
Legion, 50 per cent. of whose members be-
long TO the Grand Army, will hold its an
rual meeting Thursday afternoon, and its
headquarters win be established during the
session of the G.. a. r. in Room II. the
