I'm spite of the fact that the vacation
season is not yet ended and warm wealth
or is still in prospect. the people, or a part
at least, have already begun TO talk pol
itics. This Is undoubtedly due TO the new
division OF the wards, and the fact that
the political ieakers OF both parties are
kept, to a greater or lesser degree, guess
ing.
There do not appear to be any more
mayoralty candidates on the political
horizon just at present but there Is n
great deal of talk in the several wards
concerning the probable makeup OF the
city council ticket. and all sorts and con-
ditions of men are being mentioned, and
in the cases of some of them all II will
amount TO will he mention.
For instance in the First ward there Is
a hunt for man to take the place OF
Walter p. Vincent upon the part or those
who feel convinced that Mr. Vincent will
receive the Republican nomination for
mayor.
Conditions in the First ward are such
that neither party can win alone. and
the result win be a combination ticket.

Taking II for granted that the Demo
Gratis will, as heretofore. give the alder
manic chair TO q Republican. the name of
William +. Vaughan is being mentioned
an a strong candidate. while others are
Inclined 10 favor Henry V. A. Josln.
1t Is doubtful. however. IL Mr.. Josin

he might be prevailed upon to run for

The Game Yesterday Between
the Yale and Boston Teams.
a Tie Score Until the Eighth Inning Final
Score Oft to o in Favor of tho Bean Eat
ers-Games Elsewheree

The Yale Varsity nine held the Bos-
ton team down to a tie score until the
eighth inning of yesterdays game. In
that inning Manager Selees National
Leaguers scored a hard run. which the
Yale boys couldn't offset in their half
of the ninth inning. Thus 1t came that
the score was written down, after one
hour and ffty-flve minutes pretty
playing, z to in the Beaneaters' favor.
But Yale had the sympathy OF the
1000 spectators, many of whom were
ladies, who saw the game. Still, while
there was roofing for the Varsity boys.
the enthusiasts were frequently liberal
with their applause of fine plays made
by their opponents.
Decidedly the feature of the game
was the triple play of Yale by Lyon to
First Baseman Sharp, who threw TO
Qufmby at second. 1t was then that
the rooters gave their liveliest appro-
baton OF Yale's spirited playing. The
player who took off perhaps the great
est honors on YaleS side was Guernsey,
left fielder. whose magnificent stop OF
left drive in the early part OF the
game. and several catches of high flyers
in his territory, were features of the
game.
1t was Yales several errors which
lost the game. The playing on her
side was more phenomenal than that
Of Boston at nearly all stages Of the
game. But for the one mistake OF
Quinby, who tried for home run on
three-bag hit, the score would have
been tied at the beginning of the ninth
inning instead of faVoring Boston ny
one run. But Quinby got so near
home on this hit that the sting OF de-
feat was lessened. Brown, of Yale, did
good work Mt the bat getting a three
Dagger at one time and again advance
ing base runner from first to third
The work Of the Boston team was
good at practically every point. Free
man. center fielder, known as Home
run" Freeman, who played with Wash
ington League team last season. scor-
ing a record of 26 three-oase hits
and twenty-five home runs. had the
highest number of base hits TO his
credit in yesterdays game. Chambers
pitched a steady game.
The score was as follows:
