WON BY HEAVY BATTING.
Exciting Finish OF Ball Game
Michael Back to Wheel

New York, April 26.--Therc was no.
crowded into the game here between the
Giants and BostoGs. There was heavy
batting. brilliant fielding, yellow errors
and exciting stages.
The most exciting stage and the one
that caused the roof of the grandstand
to DO stunts, occurred in the ninth in
ming. The Bostons had been retired in
their half of the inning and had taken
their places in the field most conplacent-
ly and with an air of confidence that Il
lead of over five runs entails.
Then it was that the Charts showed
themselves strong tnishers. They piled
Beaneaters.
Doyle took Il rather daring chance in
running from second to third on Il wild
throw by Sullivan, and was nailed at
third by IIamilton's great throw to Col
Inns. This W ound up the game, with the
score to In BoStOn's favor.
The Bostons won by their superb bat
ting. Dohcny pitched great ball for
six innings. His speed gave out then
and his slants We're pasted for fair after
that.

There seems little doubt, much as
the rumor is denied, that "Dick"
Croker is sick man. His sou, Frank
Croker, started for England, where his
father now is, and it is said that his
call abroad is very urgent. The de-
parture OF the young man put at rest
the story that the Tammany chieftain
was on his way home. saw friend
of Croker's just back from Europe the
other day. He says that he met Mr.
Croker at Brighton, and that the lat
ter's health was not good. The de.
parture from this side last week of
Miss McCann, the niece of Mr.. Croker,
followed by that of Mr.. Croker's sou,
pretty clearly indicates that the Tam.
many chiefs physical condition is not
such Is to satisfy his friends.

TRADE CONDITIONS HEALTHFUL
"Dun's Review" says:

The fact hardly be too often stated that
there appears reaction or shrinkage in the vol
ume OF business save that which partial adherence
10 the unusual prices OF last year explains. The
volume OF payments through Interior clearing
houses where stock operations OF con-
trolling magnitude, shows the continuance OF q
trade never equalled in any previous year. Omit
ting New-York. Boston and Philadelphia the ex-
changes at all other points steadily above
those of last year, very few cities showing any
crease whatever. and about 80 per above those
of 1898 Testimony equally strong is given by rail-
way returns. which cover about half the entirs
mileage for May. amounting TO S7.O754 6i with
OF 95 per cent compared with last year and 10 per
compared with 1895 and these gains are shared
by every section or class OF road and By nearly
every considerable system. While IL Is true that
the movement OF grain eastward has been smaller
than in other years, the westbound movement OF
merchandise has in all quarters increased more
than enough to balance the loss In earnings.
