Boston Wins the Pcnnant. A3
The baseball senson of 1898 in; the
National League cnded by limitation
on Saturday although several OF the
clubs played exhibition games in west
ern cities Sunday. Boston won the
pennant for the second successive year,
with Baltimore second, and Cincinnati
which at one time promised to run
away with the flag, poor third.
Chicago finished fourth, ahead Of
Cleveland, result not generally looked
for, while the Phillies just managed to
stick their nose inside the first di-
vision, a result achieved by their
splendid squirt during the last month,
and the corresponding slump made by
the much vaunted New York Giants,
who pull out at the head of the second
division. Pittsburg gave promise early
In tho season of being first division
club, but when the Pirates got into the
stretch the pace set by the leaders
proved too hot for them, and the Smoky
City lads had to be content to finish
in the eighth hole. Indeed they were
fortunate at that, for the Louisville
aggregation played great ball at the
finish, and had the season only been a
little longer the 'Colonels'' would
have hustled not only the Pirates, hut
the Giants. Brooklyn finishes tenth,
Washington eleventh and poor St.
Louis just as far back as it could get,
with 80 games won and Ill lost. 1
The folly of this years patchwork
schedule and the undue length of the
season, many of the games Of the last
two weeks being prevented by rain and
wind storms or stopped by cold and
darkness, has been more than proven
and it is probable that next year there
will be return to the old-t time two
trip schedule. Double headers were
scheduled in the three Eastern cities,
and in every instance the second game
was stopped by darkness after three
innings had been played. At Pittsburg
both games with Chicago were declared
off on account Of cold weather. The
games played Saturday resulted as fol-

Special to The Age-Herald.

Washington, April 23.-Every nerve Is be- ing strained by the navy department to prepare for a long war. Plans are well un- der way for the three battleships, the twelve torpedo boats and the twelve tor pedo boat destroyers, which are provided for in the naval appropriation bill. Bids for the smaller class of these ships will be ready in three weeks after the appropria- tion becomes available.
 In addition to this work, the navy de- partment has been taxed to the utmost to equip ships recently purchased for the navy. Within the last six weeks three fourths of a million dollars have been ex- pended in this direction. The capacities of private yards have been severely taxed, and today all the facilities for ship con- struction and equipment on the Atlantic coast are overburdened.
