NEW FOOT BALL LEAGUE
NEW FOOT BALL LEAGUE


The base ball season of 30 was brought
to close Saturday afternoon at National
Park in the game between the Senators
and New Yorks, the home club winning
out by the score of IL to 9. At the begin
ming of the game the Senators played poor
ball and Mcfarland was hit hard the
score standing Q to in the Giants favor
after five innings play. With this tremen-
dous lead, the Giants, headed by George
Davis and Gleason, commenced to play
horse" and as a result Disguised Twirler
Gettig. The latter had been doing excep-
tionally well. but hit, a fiuke, being
scored off his delivery in five innings. With
the baby play back of him, Gettig re-
fused to exert himself. and the consequence
was that the Senators slammed the ball
all over the lot, and won the game by max
ing regular Garrison finish, scoring three
runs in the sixth inning six in the seventh
and three in the eighth.
While this bombardng of Gettig was go
ing on Mcfarland pulled himself together
and did his best, the result being cipherS
for the visitors in the last four innings OF
the game. The contest aptly illustrated
the uncertainties and luck of the game.
The spectators were wrothy at several of
the Senators for loose play in the beginning,
but became enthusiastic later on. With
lead of nine runs it seemed like a walk
over for the Giants but consecutive hitting
soon knocked this lead to SmithereenS, and
the squirt placed the local fielders on their
feet the twirler and all hands playing first
class ball in the last four innings of the
game. In the tabulated score only one err
ror is given the Senators. but misplays by
Scheibeck Barry and Powers were very
suspicious, and certainly were far from per
feet plays. The batting of Gleason was the
feature of the game, the little captain get
ting four safe hits out of five times at the
bat

Secretary Root has been in receipt of a
number Of petitions respecting the Com

The Central Siberian Railway leads to
the Baikal lake, which will have to be
crossed by trains in a special steamer
received from England. The railway
around the Baikal lake will be built lat
ter on.
The distance from Tscheliabinsk to
st. Petersburg per rail is 1924 English
mlise; to Riga, 1928 English miles; to
Libau, 2OS7 English miles; to Koenigs-
berg, 20S7 English miles. If we add to
these distances the length of the Siber-
ian and Manchurian railways, say
about 1000 English miles, we find that
the whole distance will be a very long
one, and as the railway tariff from
Nladivostok to one of the Baltic ports
could harly be taken at less than So. to
los, per hundredweight (of 112 pounds
English), the possibility of a transit
traffic of Chinese or Japanese goods to
Western Europe, or of English and
German goods to Japan and China, is
open to grave doubt, the sea freight
from Chinese and Japanese ports to En-
rope being much lower. But while there
is this doubt as to the possibility of a
transit traffic of goods, it is thought
that agriculture and mining in Siberia

at first fixed from Vladivostok covered
a route of about 4740 English miles. Lat
er on, as is commonly known, the Rus
so-Chinese bank made an agreement
with the Chinese Government as to the
construction of a railway through Man

the Eastern Chinese Railway and will
connect Vladivostok with the Great ST.

distance that was at first projected. AS
