THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
A Resume of the Team Work During the
Season.

A Resume of the Team Work During the
Season.
NEW YORK, October 15-In the Ma
tional League base ball race just finish
ed, excitement on the whole was at
discount. There were many exciting
games and in some respects the play
ing generally speaking, was high class
1t was too much Of a procession TO be
a race. Long before the season ended,
the Brooklyns were conceded TO be the
coming champions, their lead after they
once went to the front which was on
May %, seldom being so small as not
to be reckoned as safe. The real fight
was for second place. Boston gave in
dications at times of wrestling the lead
from Brooklyn, doing some playing in
the west, but falling to put up the old
invincible game at home. The Phila-
delphia team, which finished third in
the race, were a bit too streaky to win
the pennant, but still enough to be dan
gerous. They held the lead at one time
in the first part of April, but by the
middle of June they were as low as fifth
Baltimore finished fourth. In April
and May they were in the second di-
vision, but they went into the first di-
vision with rush. They jumped
from seventh place to third in the short
space of two weeks. They have held
fourth place for the last two and half
months. The st. Louis team proved
disappointing. They were the only
team besides Brooklyn that held the
lead for any length of time. At dif-
ferent times, however, they occupied
every position in the first division, their
close Fight with the Cincinnatis for fifth

Experienced a Disagreeable Day at Sioux
City, Yesterday.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, October 15.-Sun-
day has been quiet day for the Presi-
dental party. At 10 o'clock this morn
ing the train was brought down to the

President and Mrs. Mckinley with
some members of the cabinet were con-
Quoted in carriages TO the First Meth
odist church. Although no announce
ment had been made OF the Presidents
intention TO attend services at this
church, the building was crowded to
suffoeation and large numbers waited
outside, unable to obtain admission.
The sermon was delivered by the pas
tor, Rev. Robert Bagnel.
Shortly after noon the Presidential
train was taken from the Union sta
ton and again conveyed to a side
track, some five miles from the city, in
order to avoid the scrutiny of the large
crowds which continued to throng
about the depot.
Towards evening the Presidents pri-
vate car was detached from the train,
and he and the members of the cabinet
were again conveyed to the city, where
a quiet dinner was enjoyed by them at
the residence of ex-Congressman Per-
kins. The train left for the East soon
after 10 o'clock. The weather was in
tensely disagreeable. great quantities OF
dust filing the air during the morning
and heavy wind prevailing. Late in
the afternoon a driving rain set In and
continued throughout the evening.
Governor Shaw and Senator Allison
accompanied the train in private car,
and will make the trip with the Presi-
dent as far as Dubuque. milwaukee,

with every one. In late years the fa-
nous seaman has been counted some
what Of dandy in his personal ap-
pearanee, but in those days he was just
the reverse, almost careless in his at
tire. Those who tell fortunes back
wards will doubtless see a prophecy
of future greatness in the following in
cident to which Mr.. Town was an eye
witness. During the summer of per-
haps IS, George clerked about the
grocery store of his cousin, John p.
Dewey, and one day rat was cornered
behind a drawer underneath the
shelves upon which goods were placed.
Montpelier was little more than VIII
lage then and the loafers with which
the store was always supplied were
each suggesting plans for capturing
the rodent when George spoke up in
his drawing way, and asked for a
pair Of gloves. These being supplied.
he put them on and then commanded
that the drawer be pulled out. As
quick as wink the future hero of
Manila darted his hands into the open
ing and grabbing the rat dashed it
down upon the floor to the utter
amaZement of the bystanders. As a
youth Dewey would take any thing in
joke, but would fight on slight pre-
text if imposed upon.
The fire weather yesterday was re-
sponsible for heavy street car travel
The B. & o. company has been both
cred much of late by persons taking
coal from the cars while standing on
the yards, and some prosecutions are
likely to follow.
Martin Ney is home from a pleasant

That bowling has great hold On the
public was avide last week, when
the Musee management opened UP their
winter league. In spite Of the counter
attraction of the Pythian knights, the
Musee League opened with the largest
crowds in it's his tory. The interest
which the spectators, took in the sport
was shown by free uent outbursts OF
applause when any CT the boys did any
exceptionally fine work. Perhaps the
finest piece of worE. during the week
was the feat Of the daisies" in taking
a game from the ''Crescents' by mag
nificent squirt when it locked like sure
defeat and conclusi'nely showed that the
boys are made of the right kind Of
stuff Another TEXTURE of the weeks
work was the throw of the crack tom
Moore team by Capt. Wells Lenox
Perhaps it was the name that was too
much for "Steve's" boys, anyway that
aggregation of fighters" known as the
'Lenox' made the 1Moores" look like
school boys and it is safe betting that
the ''Moores" will have more respect
for Capt. Wells's boys in the future.

week:

/ The Cincinnatis have to their credit
the most remarkable squirt of the sea-
son, winning Is straight games. They
were, however, once the race was fair
ly under way, never prominent for the
pennant.
The Pittsburg team was second di
vision factor from the start, but they
did especially well in the last two
months, when their playing was of the
first division calibre, and better than
one or two teams just ahead of them.
The Chicagos, who started off well,
gradually went down the scale, wind
ing up eighth and the Louisville did
shade worse. The New York made
the worst showing ever made by New
York League team. 1t may be said
with grief of the New Yorks that they
got away poorly and stayed there.
The Washington and Cleveland ag-
gregations were next to last and last.
The former was conspicuous for the
great amount of experimenting in play
ers that did it, and the persistency with
which it lowered near the tail end.
OF the Cleyelands, it can simply be
said that no League team ever did so
poorly.
Reds closed the season with two easy vic
tories over the Exiies. Hob, local anna

as extremely confident that he will Sc
cure the decision of the referee in his
bout with Eddie Gardner tonight.
Van Heest's most notable battle in this
vicinity was fought with Jerry Mar
shall and was a draw. His style will
suit Gardner, who will enter the ring
fresh from his victory at Scio Saturday
night. Van Heest does not use his feet
much, except in side-stepping, but IS
willing to take for an opportunity to
give. This should suit Gardner. Inc
men are both clever, and the contest
deserves a good patronage.

Alarming Situation.

The existing conditions regarding the
water supply from Berlin pond, and at the
Viles dam at Middlesex is alarming and is
growing daily more serious. Only very
small amount of water is running into Ber-
lin pond and much of that is lost by evap-
oration. Superintendent Foster is keenly
alive to the danger, and has cut off nearly
all the motors in town. Early on Monday
Mr.. Foster was ON the street spotting those
who did not heed his request to discontinue
the use OF hose for sprinkling lawns and
washing sidewalks.
The pond in East RoxbuIy, controlled by
9. p. Pitkin, which was stocked with trout
is dry, and bushels Of handsome trout were
buried there Sunday afternoon. This pond
is one of the sources Of Dog River, and it is
said not enough water now flows into the
Winooski from that stream to fill four
inch pipe. The north branch is rapidly
drying up, and reports from Worcester say
that the sources Of that stream are prsc-
tically dry. Not enough water came down
from Barre all day Sunday to fill the Pio-
neer dam, and K. W. Bailey a. Co. were
able to run only two hours Of the twenty
four, ending Sunday afternoon.
