Those who enjoy a good game of base
ball and have little opportunity Of seeing
week day contests win have a chance to-
morrow to see a National League cham
pionship game. The st. Louis Perfectos
and the New York Giants will play at the
West New York Field Clubs grounds,
Niles avenue. and the game should be
well worth seeing. The clubs are bitter
rivals and both are working hard to bet
ter their positions in the pepnaat race.
Consequently. tomorrow's game will be
for blood. The players of the Chicago
Club, who will be in New York over sun
day have been invited to witness the
game, and win be on hand to see how the
Giants and Perfectos play the game.
A decision win be rendered tomorrow
on the question. Has West New YORK
a better baseball team than Jersey City
The settlement will come when Fred
Mersheimer's West New York Field Club
will play the Jersey City Baseball Gu
at West End, Tonnle and st. Paufs
avenues. The game will be called at 3;45,
and viii be for blood as these teams have
been looking at each other out of slant
ing eyes all season. The game is going TO
be a good one and neither team will be
defeated until the close of the last inning.
Thu Johnstowns and the National A. g.
will meet tomorrow at Dewey Park, Sip
and West Side avenues, in a baseball
game and a tough struggle is looked for,
This will probably be the best game OF
the season thus far on this diamond.
That funny aggregation of cake walking
comedians, the Cuban x Giants, will
offer comedy and baseball tomorrow at
the st. George Cricket Grounds against
the Hobokens. The latter team has a
good chance in baseball, but they would
be completely outclassed in the comedy
business. The game should be a good
close one and should draw well.

American merchants doing business there.
Whiting the last five years the exports to
South Africa increased fourfold and
American goods were beginning to re-
ceive the recognition which they deserve.
Owing to the possible war, American trad
ers are curtailing their orders and Amerl-
can firms are Withholding shipments until
they havep ositive assurance that they
will receive payment for the goods al
ready sent. The greatest loss Is suffered
by the manufacturers of mining machin-

with American machinery, and all the
timber used in the country comes from
Puget Sound. Hundreds of other Ameri-
can industries have been injured by the
