Next year American audiences will
have an opportunity to hear an artist
who is creating furore in Europe and
who is said to be known the length and

can be nothing more charming Mr..

Washington correspondents receive
many amusing instructions from their
home offices, which are due wholly to
managing editors and correspondents.
Very likely many OF the dispatches sent
from here are quite as amusing as many
o. those sent to the correspondents.
It is not so many years since the
managing editor of one OF the greatest
of the New York papers wired its cor
respondent here: Give us your best
Judgment as to when Congress will ad-
journ.'' The dispatch arrived in Febru-
AIRY. and the session was the last one
of that Congress. OF course Congress
was compelled by the Constitution and
statutes to adjuorn on or before the
fourth day of March.
Another correspondent received at
about the same time telegram ut
o'clock in the morning running: See
Bayard at once and ascertain where
American boundary line runs through

ATHLETICS CHANCES.
Must Win About 81 Out of 81 Games
to Land on Ton.

Three-quarters Of the American League
season is over. Over 100 games of the
schedule have been played thirty remain.
The teams are rounding into the home
stretch, and the one that spurts the hard
est will carry off the pennant race.
Two weeks ago the prophet who selected
the Athletics as champions would have been
ridiculed. st. Louis had just started for
the eastern tour in first place, Chicago was
playing fast ball, and Boston seemed to
have the Athletics safely measured But
ST Louis Jared disastrously losing all the
Boston and Athletic games and dropping
one at Baltimore and two in this city. Chi
cago also took the toboggan and of the
1our leaders only Boston has kept pace
with the Athletics. Mack's men left for the
west last night, securely intrenched in first
place. They have lead Of six games on
Boston, ten on Chicago and thirteen an g.
Louis. " "
Since their return from the west the Ath
letics have played sixteen games and won
fifteen. They have been singularly fortu-
nate IN the weather, and did not suffer a
single postponement from rain Counting
the start of their winning streak in Detroit
two weeks ago last Sunday they have
Peaten all the western teams with ease. and
had 70 work for victory in only two games
Much OF the credit Is due to the pitchers.
In the last seventeen games Macks tWirl-
ers have held opposing teams down to 11S
hlts ana thlrty-seven runs, an average of
game. In only two games were the pitch
ers hit safely more than ten times wad-
dell won four and lost one Hastings and
Plank each took four and Wilson and
Mitchell two each ~
The Athletics have yet thirty-one eames
to play, thirteen in the west, nine at home
and nine on the grounds of the eastern
teams To-day they play at Cleveland, then
follow series of three games each at Chi
cago, ST. Louis Detroit and Cleveland. Re
turning home, September 8, they play three
with Baltimore, then go to Boston for
three. return for three each with Boston
and Washington, and end the season with
series at Baltimore and Washington
The Athletics and Boston have only nine
games TO play at home, while Chicago and
st. Louis each have twenty. This adyan-
tage is somewhat compensated for by the
fact that both eastern teams have fair
lead over their western rivals
At present writing it looks as though the
night would be between Boston and Ath-
letics. and the two SERIES one on each
grounds. may determine the winner. It is
or course possible that a prolonged spurt
by either Chicago or st. Louis may upset
their calculation and send the coveted flag
in the west again.
AS to the Athletics chances, 1t NAV he
summed up that If they can take twenty
out of the final thirty-one games they can
land the championship. This means an
average of two out Of each three games
played.

NEW YORK'S VIEW.
Chances of an American League Club
Getting Into Gotham.

A special from New York says that for
more than three months it has been the am
bition of the American League owners to
establish base ball club In Greater New
York John ]. McGraw was once notified
that he might transfer the Baltimore Amer
lean League franchise to that city. He went
to New York. but, despafring of finding a
site for ball ground on the Island Of Man
haitian, declined to have anything to do
with the establishment Of a club in the
Bronx.
Some players have been lately signed to
American League contracts containing a
provisional clause that they may be trans
ferred to New York. and among them are
a number of Baltimore players, including
Selbach, formerly with New York; Will
liams and possibly Catcher Robinson. This
would imply that the Baltimore club is to
be abandoned by the American League.
Since the early part of July residents Of
the borough of the Bronx, who thought a
professional base ball club might thrive
there. have asked American League CO.
operation toward such a movement They
have been encouraged to the extent that If
they will provide the grounds the American
League will provide the players.
Unfortunately the topography of most Of
the borough Of the Bronx is such that it
appears as if the preparation of grounds
might entail more cost than securing play
ers. 1t was announced yesterday In Cincin-
ilhIi ny tAe HldHdSeF OF the NatlOndI
League club in that city that the American
League had secured grounds in Crotona
Park. That is manifestly an absurd state
ment, as Crotona Park is public property.
1t Is now asserted to be a fact that resi-
dents In the borough of the Bronx have
recommended plot Of ground not far from
one of the extreme uptown stations of the
proposed rapid-transit railroad, and if this
can be secured the American League is al
most certain to establish a club there. If
local capital cannot be secured to back the
enterprise an effort will be made to induce
foreign capital to become interested.
Some of the Would-be New York owners
OBJECT to the salaries demanded by PLAYERS
by reason Of the fact that the task of fitting
out ground in the Bronx means big out
lay.

GRAND CIRCUIT TRoTs.
Direct Hal Won Chief Stakes in Rec
ord Time.

The climax of sensational pacing races
was reached in the Park Brew $4,000 stakes
al Narragansett Park yesterday afternoon
Ed. Geers piloted Direct Hal to victory in
three straight heats, and~the black stall
lions record was lowered from 2.O6 to
2.O44.
The second heat was terrific. Scott Hud-
son made rush down the stretch with
Twinkle, and would have beaten anybody
except Geers. 1t was such a drive home
that Twinkle went off her feet and broke
almost under the wire, while Direct Hal
won in 2.O4A. The last half was paced in
1.0l fiat, with the last quarter in % seconds
Twelve thousand persons saw the race
There was slight mix-up in the first heat
Scott Hudson's sulky wheel was sma she'd
and he was left outside the flag. He lodg-
ed complaint against. Geers but the judges
found the latter was some distance away
when the accident happened. They let
Twinkle stay in the race; however.
Junius lowered his mark from 2.0SA to
2.07A to win the 2.20 pace. Josh won the
first heat and a record of 2O91a. Then
Junius took the next three. The PIG trot
was four-heat race with three heat win
ners. Kelmont landed the second and
fourth heats and race. The 2.13 trot was
unfinished when darkness, stopped the rae

Mr. Angus will run things in "hoorah"
style at Bennett Pfrk next year. He will
have the best team money will secure, and
will have every rooter yelling for Detroit

the club owner Is doing may be gained from
the fact that he is going to give Detroit a
$4,000 team. That is more money than
any team in the American or National
League is paying for salaries today, and
more than Detroit ever paid, except in 1887
when the worlds championship came here
and the team cost about $4,000 in salaries
The improvements to the team are known
to consist of three pitchers, probably Willis
Kitson and Donovan, and. from present in
