Sunday General Shafter released 40
Cubans who had been confined in the

some OF them were confined without

most trivial pretexts, and yet others
solely because Of sympathy with the in

STANDING OF EASTERN LEAGUE

Toronto, July 26.-The game between
the Torontos and Providence Grays
yesterday afternoon was stubbornly con
tested throughout, and though the home
team. won they had to work hard for
the victory. The batting OF the home
team was very timely. The hitting of
the visitors was timely enough for them
to score runs enough to win an ordi-
nary game, but although Rudderham
was given far better support than Ba-
ker had IL was easier for the Torontos
to place their hits with men on bases.
The Islanders scored in every inning
except one up 70 the seventh, and as
they skipped in the sixth they piled up
three runs in the seventh to make up
for 1t, and they didn't need any more.
The visitors grew more familiar with
Bakers curves as the game progressed,
and did their best work I'm the last half
of the game. They hustled hard to cut
down the big lead against them. and
they fought for every point in the
game. But the home team had a lead
of five runs against the visitors when
the latter made the rally that produced
three runs In the last two innings, and
they still had a run to spare when 1t
was all over. Braun was put in the
game to bat for Rudderham in the
eighth inning, and he pitched in the
ninth. The score:
