BRIEF BASE BALL GOSSIP
Base Ball Season is Drawing to n
Close and the Different Races
Are Interesting.

Demont batted safely in nineteen straight
games up to last Monday, and in twenty
three out of twenty-four.
The Chicagos UP to August 26 had made
100 double plays this season. Only three
triple plays have been accomplished in the
entire league.
Demontreville has batted near the 400
mark since he Joined the Baltimores. When
he was with Chicago his average was in
the vicinity of $50.
The New Yorks want to play the Brook
lyns a series Of five games after the close
Of the season for a side bet OF $4,000. The
series may be arranged.
The Brooklyns have drawn better on the
road this year than any other league team,
but the attendance at their own grounds,
while a source of profit, has not come up to
expectations.
The unexpected reverses Of the Indianapo-
lis club at home enabled the Minneapolis
team to regain first place for q day i'll the
Western league race. which closes on Sep
TENDER -. Manager Allen and his men are
confident that they will finish first, but the
Millers are making it interesting for them.
The poor showing of the Baltimore club
In the absence Of Manager McGraw is the
best proof of the value of his services as a
manage and player. The Orioles recent
reverses have lost them all chance for finish
ing higher than fourth. Had McGraw not
been called home on his mournful mission
his team would have made a much better
western trip and gone east probably with a
fighting chance for second place.
There is no excuse for the imposition Of
such weak teams as Washington and Cleve-
land on the patrons of the National league.
Neither Of these teams has any class and 1t
is only the luck of the game that enables
either to win occasionally. The Senators
string of victories over st. Louis and Louis
Vile is a reflection on these teams Such
scores as rs to 4, 10 to 3, II to 0 and others
almost as bad put the league in a bad light.
The Brooklyn club has such a commanding
lead over Philadelphia and Boston, the
only other teams with even a remote chance
for championship honors, that the race will
be professional from this on. 1t is only a
question Of how many points the Superbas
will be ahead at the finish. With first place
conceded to Brooklyn interest will center on
the light for second place between the pres
ent champions and the Phillies and the
struggle for western supremacy between St.
Louis and Cincinnati. Pittsburg and Chi
cago are candidates for sixth place, with
ing the prospects in favor Of the Pirates lead
ing the second division on October 10.

Govern Fight.

The pugilistio world Is at present en-
crossed in the outcome OF the fight be-
tween "Pedlar" Palmer and Terry Nc
Govern, which takes place at the West
chester Athletic club, T~uckahoe, n. Y, on
Monday. September IL. says Sam Austin
OF the Police Gazette. Only stormy weather
or the entire absence of sunshine can
interfere with the success of the fight, for
1t is intended to take a continuous picture
Of it for exhibition purposes. and as every
body knows, the light and other facilities
must be of the best. Both men have trained
carefully, conscientiously and satisfactorily
for this battle, and there will be little left
to be desired In the condition OF either OF
them when they step into the ring. Every
detail in connection with the fight has been
perfected and not a thing has been left I'M

passengers went into the cabin to get some
thing to eat and they saw a thousand eyes
staring AZ them through the windows. They
were wolves that had smelled the grub in
the pantry and were ready to hop in at the
windows. The women came rushing out OF
the pantry and slammed the door behind
them. They didn't want anything to eat
that night. This was but one OF the many
incidents that lent zest and excitement to the
river trips up the Missouri in those days"
stampede of BuTnio
I'm 1861" said Captain Massie, 81 was
steamboating on the steamer Spread Eagle.
1t was the first boat OF tina name. That
was the year the Chippewa blew up. The
Chippewa was an American Fur company
boat. One night we lay at Fort Union,
seven miles above the mouth of the Yellow
stone, on the Missouri. The place was
chiefly an American Fur company tradlug
post. The fort consisted Of a wooden
stockade and on the side next the river was
a big sliding gate, which was left open most
of the time, as there we're no hostile dem
onstrations amoug the Indians at that time,
Some OF the soldiers were on the boat and a
majority Of the members OF the boats crew
were In the fort. The boat lay against the
bank not far from the gate. Charles p.
Chouteau was among the passengers and he
will remember the excitement of that night.
II was getting along toward bedtime and all
was quiet, when l heard something splash
Ing In the river. 7 peered out over the side
of the boat and directly l saw a herd of
buffalo swimming across the river in a solid
mass. There appeared TO be thousands of
them. They were coming directly toward
the boat. Lots OF them swan against It
and then turned to get around It. A few Of
them were drowned by getting under the
boat. The others scrambled up the bank
and started straight ahead in the direction
they came across the river. Sixty or a
huudred OF the buffalo went through the
gate into the fort, while the balance Of the
drove went around It. Those that were in
side, of course, didn't stop running. but ran
round and round in the stockade, making a
terrible noise, which caused great alarm to
the soldiers and others who were inside, uu-
til they learned the sort OF invasion 1t was;
then some OF the soldiers got to shooting at
the buffaloes. Others who had guns and
pistols Joined in. A good many Indians
were in the fort and each Indian had about
100 dogs in those days. The dogs got to
chasing the buffaloes and pandemonium
reigned that night. 1t was one of the worst
rackets l ever heard. 1t was a terror. I
got on the opposite side of the boat to keep
from being shot. Most Of the bewildered
buffaloes were finally shot, but a few OF
them found their way out at the gate"

That the fight will be a marvellous one

In expressing my confidence In McGovern's
ability to win. Palmer Is admittedly a
more skillfuf boxer than his opponent, has
the benefit of longer experience in his
professional capacity, and his knowledge or
ring tactics is perhaps greater than any
other man of his weight in the world to-
day, but he is a boxer more than a fighter,
his hands are not OF the best, which was
demonstrated when he broke them in fight
ing Dave Sullivan in London. This Is
the one weak point in his makeup. He Is
not a fnisher and IL he wins at all 1t VIII
