the Perseverance side of the field, and
Roy was so encouraged that he struck out
the following batsman.
In the latter half of the inning Rex
Ticknor went out on a slow grounder to

balls. Reuben Sayles came to bat and
Dick Ives looked at him with a superior

smashing out hot liner to center, which
was good for two bases. Charley started
for home, but the ball was thrown in so
quickly that he returnod to third.
A run for Perseverance seemed certain
at this point, but Dick braced up and
struck out O'Brien and Wheatley. This
left the score still 90.
In the second inning Roy struck out the
first two men and the third went out on

Poor Roy was utterly unable to keep on
with the game. and when that fact was
realized by the Perseverance supporters
their hopes sank. Roy was their most

steady and reliable, but were not thought

However, Captain Jack put Reub in the

The question has arisen, ITO which
club shall the league awsrd the cham
pionship and the silk pennrct?" The ex-
ecutive committee of the league decided.
therefore. that the Perseverance and In
rineible clubs should play off the tie at
Glendale Saturday, May II.
The Forthcoming game aroused great
deal OF interest ,and as the fame OF the
teams had been borne far and wide,
there was much discussion as to the
probable outcome of the contest. Not
only the young folks, but the older ones
as well, had followed the fortunes OF the
Perseverance and 1nvincible teams, and
the game gave rise 20 more comment than
any other which was held in that part Of
the country during the entire season.
The supporters of the Invincibles called
attention to the fact that their favorites
had lost but one game in two years, and
that was merely because the star pitcher.
Dick" Ives, had not been feeling well.
He was in fine shape for the great game.
however, and there was no reason why
The Invincibles should not win.
The friends of the Perseverance Club
admitted that their team, having played
hut three games, was not so well trained
as the rival nine. but what they lacked in
skill they made up in grim determination
and griffin q word. they would win by
sheer pluck alone, and wrest the cham
pionship from their opponents by adher-
ing to their famous motto-"Persever
ance."
However. it was declared on both sides
that the game would be close and the
teams very evenly matched. Both mines
practiced hard during the week preceding
The contest. and when Saturday came they
felt that they were in shape to play the
game of their lives. Mr.. Foster. the c1ev-
or Trinity College coach, had put the fin
ishing touches to the Perseverance play
ers ard he felt confident of their sue
cess.
A number of special trolley cars con-
veyed the Perseverance contingent TO
Glendale. The cars were decorated with
bunting, and the passengers added TO the
striking effect by keeping up a lively din
all along the line. Cheers and songs were
varied by the discordant blasts of tin
horns, and several boys had megaphones
to lend strength to their voices.
A loud cheer went up as the Persever-
ance team, neatly dressed in their club
uniforms. came out on the field for prac-
tice. There seemed to be at least 1000
people present, from Glendale. Roverview,
Park Heights, and the surrounding towns
The Rivervicw party occupied seats on
one side of the field and the local par
tisans were grouped on the opposite side
A constant vollcy of cheering added to the
spirit OF the occasion and inspired the
players OF both teams to put forth their
best efforts.

ELECTRICAL PROGRESS.

Probably no group Of industries has shown
such a wonderful development in this country
within the last twenty years as those which in
volve the manufacture and use Of electrical ap-
psratus. Prior 10 1850 there existed the long
established telegraph and electro plating proc
ess the more recently devised FIRE alarm and
stock reporting systems. and the old fashioned
primary battery 10 run them. Electric lighting
was just coming into vogue and the production
of dynamos 10 run the same. The telephone
was then novelty. So, too. was the storage
battery. AS for electric traction. II was not
practical success until near the close of the
next decade. Motors were employed 10 some
extent 10 drive machinery. but both for that
class OF service and for running cars they date
back scarcely more than twelve fifteen years
from the present time.
The statistical part Of Thomas Commerford
Martins special report 10 the Census Bureau
for 1900 brings out these facts in a striking
manner. The total value of the articles manu-
factured for use in electrical business OF all
kinds in the United States amounted 70 50 655.-
036 in 1850 10 Sl9,l14,714 in 1890 and S9l34s.-
$50 in 1900 The figures for the last census
year would have been much larger. Mr.. Martin
remarks had not American factories for the
production OF electrical machinery been started
in several European cities within the last dec
ade. But for that circumstance the exporta-
ton (and hence the manufacture Of this class
OF merchandise would have been greater than
II was. by S2o,OOo0O0 or mere. Had the cleo
trolytic production Of copper and aluminium.
the immense electro-ehemical production az Nj
agara Falls and the manufacture OF steel rails
and copper wire for trolley roads been counted
in a still better showing might have been made.
Mr.. Martin confined himself. however. 10 ma
chimes and appliances needed for these and
other electrical industries. Even within such
limits the development shown is simply mar
vellous. The biggest item in his total is Sl9,-
100000 for motors. Of which smount much more
than third represents railway equipment.
The output OF dynamos and telephone appa-
ratus each exceeded Sl0O00.OOO. while incan-
descent lamps. arc lights carbons and fixtures
footed up az about the same amount. More
than 100000 Edison lamps were made in
1900 and their value is put az 100000
