Capt. Clarke took his Senators off the field

umpire not attending to his business. With
the score standing to in favor of Wash

back on the remark that he hadn't seen
the play. Capt. Clarke let his indignation
get the better of his judgment and called
his men off the field, Connolly giving the
game to Cleveland by the score of 8 to O.

CIRCUIT HARNESS RACES.

Improper Driving Creates Comment
In Annual Events at Cleveland.
The strong card which the grand circuit
races presented yesterday at Cleveland,
brought out an immense crowd. The
stands were gay with the summer cos
tunes of the ladies, and the boxes were all
filled.
In the first race, PA trot, DR.. Book went
to the post a strong favorite at even
money. He won the first heat with speed
to spare; in the second he fairly romped in
winner by eight lengths. but the best he
could do in the third heat was third place.
The judges did not like the way Durfee
handled DR.. Book in the third heat, and
he was called before the stand, fined 800
and forced to give up the pole. In the
fourth heat Durfee was taken down. and
Kenny substituted. The judges announced
that this punishment was enforced upon
Durfee for improper driving. At the end
of the fifth heat all non-winners were re-
tired to the barn. This left Janice DIR.
Book and Palm Leaf to battle for the
money Palm Leaf went out and won in
straight heats.
In the second race the field got off in
bunch and raced in this fashion to the
quarter pole. Charley Hayt led all the
way, but broke in the stretch. Riley B.
came out of the crowd like lightning and
won the heat IN easy fashion.
In the third heat certain horses were con-
sidered not to be driven to win and the
judges declared all bets on this heat off
and retired all non-winners Of heats to
the barn. Riley B., the odds-on fayorite
won the event by nose from Eyelet. The
third race went to Dan Patch in straight
heats.
The King walked away from the field in
the fourth race and won the 3 p class pace
in one, TWO order. The condition of the
track was superb.

Dowd scored a run under peculiar cir
cumstances in the third inning of Fridays
game at Cleveland. The ball was hit to
the score boards. but before Yeager could
get it the boy who marks up the scores
had handled it, making it a blocked ball.
Under the rules the ball must be returned
to the pitcher before it is in play again,
but instead it was thrown to Beck. He in
turn threw to Bradley. who touched Dowd
twice. but still it did not dawn on the play
ers that 1t was a blocked bail. Finally
Dowd started for the plate. Then Bradley
threw to Wood, who In turn threw to
Moore, but it was then too late, as the
runner was safe.-Cleveland Leader.

SUMNER SCHOOLS IN CITIES.
Extending the system of Public Play
grounds for Children.

From the Boston Transcript
Preparations that are going on In New
York and in many other cities for a more
complete and extensive system OF vacation
schools and play grounds than that of pre-
vious years have suggestion for local edu-
Gators and charity workers. The vacation
school idea is no longer In the tentative
stage. Its usefulness Is so firmly estab-
lished that il is coming to be considered an
Indispensable annex to the public school
system. Its advantages. IL is to be noted,
affect the whole community. The vacation
school not only keeps children busy and
happy during the hours that would other
wise be passed in deleterious play in the
broiling streets, but 1t also relieves the
overburdened mothers and raises the stand
ard OF home life. The wise purpose OF tho
movement is TO protect children from eVi
associations and enforced idleness; to min
iruize the opportunities for evil Influences,
and to turn the tide Of superffuous youth
full energy into useful channels. In achiev-
ing this the vacation school has been lu-
minous success. The most lawless and dis
respectful have been transformed through
work made so fascinating that IL Is more
attractive than play.
Attention might also be called to the fact
that the vacation school offers solution 10
the problem of the charity workers who are
beginning to realize that they must turn
themselves with renewed energy to the pre-
ventive side Of their work through better
educational forces in the character forma-
ton of children. In training for occupa-
tons in teaching hygiene, good morals and
the value and dignity Of labor the vacation
school pays for itself thousand fold. The
combination of manual and mental train
ing, of nature study, Of occasional outdoor
excursions and the afternoons spent upon
the play grounds is irresistible. Last year
twenty-one school yards were opened in
Boston three hours each day for children
in the city tenements. II is pleasant 20
note that this year the work is to be con-
tinued and perhaps Increased. More than
4 900 children on an average enjoyed this
benefit daily at a total cost of 81 for each
child for the season. Three thousand dol
lars were contributed by the school COM
mittee and the remainder raised by private
gifts. This season should see an expansion
in gifts and endeayor.

Cost of Crime.

From tie New York Herald.
Criminals are very expensive members Oh
the community. They cost the people OF
this country about 81 600 100000 year. IL
their increase could be prevented il would
be a paying investment to give each OF the
100000 accepted criminals a monthly pen
sion of $500, on the condition that they take
a life vacation from the strenuous demands
of their profession. But we accept the
criminal as a part Of our civilization-or
barbarism-and pay the enormous cost or
maintaining him.
The average annual income Of profession
al criminals is estimated at about $3.50.
This means that the community pays them
a yearly salary Of $400.0oo.oOO. After this
is spent for their maintenance. we pay an
nually $500, 600, 600 for their detection, con-
yiction and support, under national. state,
county and city auspices. The urban popu-
la ton has to pay the larger share of this.
or 100000 people In cities have TO pay
$1G5, 600 000-$S. 80 per capita, and the sub.
urban population of 5000 600 81 each, or
S45,oO0000. In addition to this there Is Q
federal and state expense Of $4,000, 900.
Add to this the loss by malicious des truc-
ton OF property. the money value OF hu-

ture necessary In the attempt to guard
against loss through law breakers. and we

Postal Cards Slow Gait.
From the Philadelphia Press.


One Of the clerks in the local post office
found in bundle Of mail yesterday morn
ing a postal card which had been sent
from Morrisville, Pa. on February II, 1878.
Morrisville Is little more than twenty
three miles from Philadelphia, so the clerk
announced that the postal had made about
a mile a year on its way here, and had
therefore broken all records in slow tran
sit No one knows where the card HAD
been during the many years, but it Is not
believed that it has been outside of this
state, and from it's appearance it does not
seem to have been shelved The clerk said
1t looked as though 1t had been undergoing
many exciting experiences during the last
twenty-three years.
The postal card was addressed to Charles
B. Horner, nurseyman of Mount Holly,
N. j. It was sent by the Glenwood Nu--
series Of Morrisville. A clerk accidentally
read the card. He says 1t said: Please
come over and see us as soon as possible
