NEW CASTLE, Pa, July 8.-New
Castle and Wheeling played a double
header to-day and each team won one.
STREET. pitched the first game, but gave
too many bases on balls, which lost
him the game. The features of the
first game were the batting of Farrell,
Weidensaul and Poole. The second
game was called aft9 the first half of
the eighth, with the score 8 to l in
favor of New Castle, so that the two
teams could catch train for the west.
The weather was cold, and during the
game there was drilling rain, which
made good ball playing very difficult,
but both games were very interesting.
The features of the second game were
the batting of Farrell and Miller and
the pitching of Smith. Manager
Wright was unable to accompany the
team on account of the injury to his
leg some time ago The score:

The Brooklyns were admitted TO the
League in 1880, winning the championship
/ of that organization with ease. The St.
Louis club came into the League fold at
the conclusion of the 1891 season as a re-
suit of the absorption of the American As
ISOLATION by the League. 1t was after that
that the Brooklyn and St. Louis teams
both struck the toboggan and were among
the losing elements for seven years Won
Der Abe went to pieces, and his club pass

Haas Robinson, of Cleveland, got a con-
trolling interest in it, and transferred the
tplayers of his crack Cleveland team to St

President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club
and his partner made the new famous deal
with Baltimore by which the Brooklyn
team was placed in its present position of
strength, without doing the Baltimore
team any great injury
AS in 1899. ST. Louis held the lead this
year for a long period until Brooklyn came
along with a rush and took it away. But
there the smile ends. ST. Louis did not
hold on to close second position as in
1889. but dropped to sixth like a ton of coal
out of an elevator. The Browns may
close up the gap again, however. and give
the Brooklyns another hard cruise to the
finish, but it is not probable that such will
be the case. The two teams will meet in

One of the most magnificent of the
stately homes of England Is Cassiboury
Park, the country seat of the Earl of
Essex. 1t possesses especial interest for
Americans from the fact that Miss Adele
Grant, an American girl, is the present
Countess OF Esse. Her wedding was one
of the events of the London social season
Of 1923 and was characterized as love
match. because the bride was, relatively
speaking. a poor girl ana had already
refused several titles as august as the
earl's own. She was know as "the beau

as 1.-THE beautiful Countess of Essex"

YOUNG WIDOWS CANNOT GET
PENSIONS.
PENSIONS
washington Starr

A recent law in regard to pensions
which is Of the greatest Importance has
Just been published. 1t provides that
hereafter no pension under any law of
the United States shall be granted, al
lowed or paid, to the widow of a soldier,
sailor, officer, naval or military, marine,
marine officer, or any other person entit-
led to pension under any law of the
United States, unles 1t shall be proved
and established that the marriage of such
widow to the soldier, sailor, etc.. was
duly and legally contracted. and entered
into prior to the passage of this act.
The full force Of this provision of law
can be understood only by recalling the
large number Of young women who
marry soldiers almost in their dotage foI
the evident purpose of obtaining pension
as soldiers widow. Commissioner
Evans has time and again called attention
to this practice, Mich has cost thu Gov
eminent millions Of dollars, and in num-
erous reports and recommendations to
Congress he has urged that some provis-
ion be enacted to prohibit such marriages.
So that the full force and meaning Of the
law which has just been enacted is that
no pension win be granted to the widow
of any soldier, or sailor, etc., who mar
riex such pensioner after the approval of
the act, which was March 8, 1899. This
law, however, does not apply to the sol.
diers, sailors, etc., who served in the war
between the United States and Spain.
