SENATORS AND ORIOLES
BEGIN FINALS TO-DAY


81 600 advance money when ,,the Cincin
natl Club said it would give him So ,G0t
for a years work. That sd larry is prob
ably the biggest ever given an outfielder
and, when one considers that man has
only to be a mechanical player to cover
ground in the outfield, that is certainly a
big sum to pay.
Ii the American League keeps on of
fering such large salaries as Algy Ches-
bro, the Pirntes pitcher, says was Of
fered him. 1t would not be an unlikely
thing If it would go into insolvency be-
fore the close of next season. Accord
ing to Chesbro he is offered s17 800 for
two years work, but is willing to stay
with Pittsburg providing Dreyfus will
give him $4,000 for two years.
On paper that amount does not ap-
pear sd very large in thec days OF high
salariei bail players. but just stop and
figure 1t out. In game = pitcher
pitches about $50 balls on an average.
Seldopi do such players engage in more
than fortys games a season. - "
I'm a. season 'therefofes pitcher filings
the ball at batsmen 5000 times In two
years he would pitch 1900 balls. Di-
vide that into the $1,000 which Chesbro
asks Barney Dreyfus to give him for
two years, and it will be found that
every throw of the pitcher would cost
oreyfuss nearly SLAP, or more than the
price of baseball
The salary list of the Champion Pitts
burgs this year is $4,000. and next year
Dreyfus expects it will amount to $40 coo.

BUCK FREEMAN A LONE HERO
His Hard and Timely Work With the
Stick Almost the Only Redeenilg
Feature in Bostons' Seedy Playing
Game Poor Exhibition of Ball.
Especial to The Washington rimes.)

BOSTON Mass. Sept. 1.-Buck fever
and pennant fever must be of the same
class. for khe youngsters of the Boston
nine missed as many sure things To-
day as did ever green huntsmen in the
woods. They were SO panic stricken,
when the Washingtons made five rms
and won the game in the seventh III
ming, that it was really pitiful. he
logical conclusion is that They were
nerved UP to such degree that they
could not stand the strain. The Wash
ingtons, on the other hand, played
without anything to lose, and were
the more dangerous on that account.
They were looking for base hits. 10 be
sure, and tried to avoid errors, but they
did not run hits out 10 the limit, and
things simply came their way.
II was the worst exhibition of base
bali seen on the grounds in the two
seasons. Reasonably steady fielding
would have given the Hbstons an easy
victory, for it was not until single
error by DoughertA gave the Sapators
three runs- in the fifth inning that
Hughes in any way weakened.
Buck Freeman a Lone Hero.
Buck Freeman was the lone hero
of the Boston outfit His batting was
hard and timely, and he not only drove
in four runs, but scored one himself
His catch of Doyle's short fly, in the
first inning, was one of the features of
the game. Delehanty. Ryan. Carey.
Keister. and Lachance also batted well.
Doyle. Ryan. Ely, Coughlln. and Carey
feided brilliantly for Washington.
The first panic came in the Senator'S
fifth inning. and Pat Dougherty should
have the blame. With one down Drill
was given his base on balls. but when
Cairick famed" there was little fear
of disaster. Doyle knocked a high fly to
left, and % the dismay of the home
team and fans, Dougherty dropped the
( ball. Drill went around to third and
scored on Ryan's single to center. Del
ehanty drew base on balls. filling the
bases, and Keister smashed hot ngle
between third and short. Doyle scored
fairly, and Ryan followed, but not until
after Dougherty had thrown out Dele
hanty at third. Connolly did not have
eyes in the back OF his head, SO the run
counted.

Many New Workers have stopped to
wonder at the long boxes packed with
straw which may be seen in the Rap
id Transit excavations. They are over
coats of straw for all the pipes laid
bare by the tunnel workers in cold
weather. AS fast as they are uncov-
cred by one set of workmen another
comes along and wraps the pipes in a
covering of straw, which is a poor
conductor of either heat or cold. This
precaution is as necessary with gas as
with water conduits. Where the wa
ter will freeze in cold weather, except
In mains where it is running constant
ly, the danger of interruption to the
gas mains is equally great where the
mains are open and subject to wide
changes in temperature. These changes
cause condensation within the pipes.

Young Ladies Have a Pull.

II there is one thing in the world that
will help a person to succeed is in having
pull" Several Of the young ladies OF
this city are in fair way to success, il
any kind OF pull will help them out.
1t certainly seemed to an evesdropper at
the office OF the Grand Junction Milling
& Elevator company last night, that
there was one kind OF pull that had
been left out OF the meaning OF the word
when used in the significance OF factor
to success, that has a whole lot to do
with having good time.
1t was a stolen glimpse at one OF the
invitations issued by Miss Phoebe koo'
srts and the fact that it was "'or girls
only" that led the writer to make an In
vestigation. The walls of the mill office
were adorned with the photographs OF
the young ladies in attendance and some
OF the likenesses were indeed remarkable.
The sport OF the evening was genuine
taffy pull and the girls declare that there
is no pull half so much fun, while per-
haps there may be some that are OF
more Importance.
A dainty lunch was served; all the girls
went home alone.
