BASEBALL YESTERDAY.
Chicago. 8; Cleveland, :,

Chicago. Aug. 2O-The Orphans won and
lost to-day. The game with Cleveland
was a wild exhibition on both sides. Chi
cagos loose playing, together with five
hits. gave the tail-enders six runs, two to
the good in the ninth. Then Schmidt
went wild, filing the bases. and Mertes
cleared them by a hit far over bowers
head. Cunningham, for Louisville, was a
complete puzzle to the locals, allowing
them but one hit with men on bases
His support was perfect while Griffith's
was ragged and hits were made off him
at the right time. Ryan and Dexter were
injured and forced to retire. Attendance,

questions TO the prlncc-thls being an
invarlable matter OF Chinese polltcness
was:
GLOW old are your
az little more than &c." answered the
prince; smiling.
"Indced" said the mandarin. your
highncss appears 30"
The mandarin then turned to the III
tcrprctcr--IIerr Voight n German
and inquired the princess age. She
answered, "rhlrty-two." The inter
prefer interpreted, and the mandarin
made remark In Chinese evidently in
tended to be complimentary. The in
tcrprctcr bIushcd uncasIly and hcsitat-
cd to translate the remark. The prince
saw the difficulty and lnughlngly com
mandcd:
"Out with 1t, VoIght!

lated to the princess, that your high
ness looks like CO."

the princess had sense enough not to
