base Ball Notes.

Yesterdays homer makes the twenty
fourth for "Buckarene.'
Dinneen is certainly pitching good ball
these days. 1t is reported a slight increase
in salary is what has loosened up the big
boys arm.
Barry batted for OBrien yesterday and
Powers for kittridge, but neither made a
hit.
Coughlin and Atherton, the two men re-
leased by Washington. made good in the
Western League. Both men We're played
in their right positions, third and second
and their playing was exceptionally hne.
Manager McGraw knows his little book.
When asked to shift the Baltimore Brook
Ign game to Washington next Monday he
said there were too many dates changed
already, and long as he ran club IN
the monumental city he would give his
local patrons everything he had, good, bad
and Indifferent.
Clarence Childs, the Perfectos' second
baseman. has been promised his release by
Tebeau. in case an exchange cannot be
made, as Cupid says he will not play in
St. Louis again. The crowd got after the
fat boy frequently this season when ne
made errors and he became sore. Malaria
is said to have handicapped Childs all sea-
son.
That is pretty bunch of hard losers and
kckers headed by Tebeau out in st. Louis.
Tebeau protested Umpire Latham, and he
was ordered to Chicago for the next days
game Lath went out to the grounds to
see the st. Louis and Louisvilles play, and
he had to pay his way in the grounds.
Pretty cheap, Ell?
Tom Tucker declares that he will not re-
tire from the game. ''Fll be in the game
next season, il 1 have to organize new
league" is the way Sir Thomas of Holyoke
puts 1t.
1t has been a good many seasons since
the National League could boast of eleven
such third basemen as McGraw, cross,
Wallace, Collins. Lauder. Casey, Leach,
Bradley, Irwin, Wolverton and Sullivan.
Some of the veterans Of the league say
that they have no use for the new league.
From the way that new players are being
introduced into the National League 1t
would seem that the old-timers would be
glad to have use for any league before
long.
The Brooklyn club won every series from
the western clubs winning all fourteen
games from Cleveland, eleven from Louis
Vile eight each from Pittsburg, Chicago
and ST Louis, ard seven from Cincinnati.
Cy Young's contract for 1900 is said to
cali for $4,000. In other words, the cham
pion pitcher gets more money than any
man has received since the last war, in 1891.
This means at least about 500 per game.
Save in years of base ball war, no pitcher
or mere player got SO much money. II any
player is worth this mucn 1t is Cy Young.

Odd Marriages in the Philippines.


The marriage customs of the Neguos are
peculiar. The young man who seeks bride
first obtains the favor of her parents and
then pursues her, catching her in his arms
She breaks loose and runs, and does not
yield until he has caught her several times
Finally he leads her In triumph to her
home. Here her father drags the youth up
ladder to the floor of their hut. The
mother drags up the maiden. They are
then made to kneel. and the father pours
over them a cocoanutshellful of water He
then bumps their heads together, and the
ceremony is completed. They spend their
honeymoon In the depths of the mounta MS
and for five days and nights are lost to
sight. after which they come back to every
day life.
There is another marriage custom which
is worth describing. Instead of the youth
and maiden being dragged up the hut lad
der. they are made to climb two saplinSs
that grow near each other. Then an elder
of the group grasps the saplings and draws
them together until the heads of the Young
couple touch, with a kiss or bump. ac-
cording to the force used. This makes them
man and wife.

Record of the ClubN.

The pesky umpire bobbed up serenely
yesterday at Boston, according to reports
from the city of culture, and as result
the champions were able to make the game
between the Boston and Washington clubs
ties to 8. The contest would have gone
to the credit of the Bostonese, owing to the
umpires weird work, but the Senator'S
vior came to the front in the shape of
"Buckarene" Freeman, and his home run
drove in two runs and made the champions
play for their lives to tie up the game.
Billy Dineen is reported to have twirled
one of his gilt edge games, but one hit be-
ing made off his delivery In the first five
innings. but his treatment by Swartwood,
who called the strikes and balls, sort of
dsheartened the big boy toward the finish
and he let down in his work Bailey did
the twirling for the Bostons and he was
hit quite frequently, Mercer getting three
hits and Freeman and Padden two each.
The fielding on both sides only fairly
good, the exceptions being Slagle in center
and Collins at third. While Mercer hit
well, his error in the sixth inning enabled
the champions to tie the score and Padden
and Dineen also had miSplays
The excitement of the game came in the
ninth inning. Dineen reached first on
balls and Long fumbed Sagle's hot drive

runners up base. Mercer then drove a
$40" one toward Long and beat 1t out, Di-
neen scoring. McGann sent a long fly to
frisbee and Slagle scored With Mercer on
second. Freeman then clouted the ball far
and away over the right field fence, two
runs resulting. With two tallies in the rear
the Bostons came in to do or die, and I'm

John W. Fleming, United States mine in
spector for New Mexico, has submitted the
annual report of the operations of his de-
partment for the past year. The report Is
for the most part technical review of the
mining industry of the territory, with spe-
oial reference TO the condition of the mines.
The report shows $50 employees at the
mines. During the year fifteen miners were
killed by falling rock, gas explosions, &C.,
and sixteen were injured. Five new mines
were opened during the year and two aban-
doned. Inspector Fleming deems the laws
governing the mining industry In the terri
tories inadequate, especially in those gen.
of recommendations to remedy existing
evils which he earnestly recommends be in
corporated into the existing law.

he will change his mind. the team can
ill-afford to lose such a good man. Lynch
looks ten pounds heavier than last year,

TENNIS.
Third Days Playing of the BachelOrs'
Club Tournament.

Yesterday was the third day Of the tennis
tournament being held by the Bachelors
Club and the fine exhibitions of the two
previous days were continued. The final
match for singles will probably be played
this afternoon, leaving the championship
match between the present champion of
the District, Mr.. Davidson, and the best
player in the tournament, to be decided to-
morrow. Three interesting and important
matches We're played yesterday in the third
round, Geoghegan defeating Gee, Wilson
defeating Parkes and Warfield defeating
Coburn. This leaves c. r. Wilson, Glaze
brook and Warfeld to play in the semi
finals
The consolation singles played so far have
resulted in n. L. Wilson defeating Cake
and Vail and Whiting winning from Da-
wilson. In the afternoon double matches
were played. Doyle and Gee winning from
Ballnger and johnson, while Glazebrook
and Davidson won easily from Coburn and
Gregg. Todays games will start at 4
o'clock, and any player not on hand at
that hour will be debarred from playing.

many applicants for positions on the
