result was a much-needed win. Robinson

himself well at short, and in addition got
in two timely hits. The veteran James

Opposed to Lee was the ex-GeorgetoWn

high-class ball this season. Yesterday he
appeared to be something like "a long-lost
brother to the Senators. his greeting being
most warm and continuous, Holmes, Mar
tin and Clarke being the only batsmen who
could not do bushes with his curves.
Neither side did any scoring in the first
inning, but in the second the ChlcagoS
hung up one run and held the lead for
few minutes. Callahan started off with
pretty double in right-center, and was sac
rificed to third by Isbell. The veteran Tom
Daily then came forward with a single, and
Callahan crossed the plate.
In the third the Senators got busy, and
shot to the front with rush by scoring
three runs. Setback and Ortiz started
things going with singles. and both crossed
the plate when Jimmy Ryan landed on an

1t was grand struggle all the way be-
tween colt and f1lly. and at the end the for

struggle caused Oliver. who is a canny
Scot. to bubble over with excitement and
all through the last quarter he yelled his
slogan: 1.-The Campbells. are coming! Clear
the way for HaZelwoodt'' When the deci-
sion was accorded to his colt he threw his
hat In the aid and cried "Hoot. mon! Hoo's
thot for bonny. Draw colt?''

PUBLIC ORDER PRESERVED.
Satisfactory Conditions Reported in

The bureau of insular affairs of the War

of Senior Pablo Tecson, governor of the
province of BuIacan, P. l., for the year 1902.

the inhabitants feel when they see the

out their exceedingly favorable promise.

this country, and to the payment of which
the province responded with such patriot

Notwithstanding the agricultural Crisis
through which it has passed and Is now
passing. Small bands of ladrones, tho
remains of the past revolution. still exist
in the province, engaged In stealing ami
mails making highway assaults upon lsoiat-
ed roads and settlements, but having, how
ever, no political significance. These small
bands are fast disappearing owing to the
constant persecution of the constabulary
local police and the provincial volunteers.

PNEUMONIA IN CHICAGO.

BASE BALL ATTENDANCE.
Figures Showing How Improved Con-
ditions Have Helped the Game.


The attendance at professional base ball
games this year has been exceptionally
large, and there is little doubt that the
good showing thus far of the New York
National League team has had as much to
do with this condition as any other one
cause. The bringing together of the two
big leagues in peace agreement is another
cause. In union there is strength. and
when the two organizations were at dag
gers drawn many base ball lover lost
interest in the game because of the cut
throat methods in vogue. Politics over
Swallowed the playing of the game itself.
and that Is not healthy condition in
sport.
Another cause of the present prosperity
of the game is the steps taken by the two
presidents, Pulliam and Johnson, to stop
Kicking" But Kicking is not yet eradi-
Gated by long shot. 1t continues to mar
the sport. but to date this season there has
been less of it than formerly. More rad
ical measures than those yet in vogue are
needed to wipe out kicking, and the APP
probation shown of the decrease in UNI
sportsmanlike tactics should serve as a
sign to the promoters of base ball.
AS between the National and American
leagues there is not much to choose from
In the way of attendance. Both are draw
ing exceedingly well, and the figures in
dicate that there Is plenty of room for two
big leagues despite the utterances of some
persons to the contrary. which utterances
possibly are inspired by desire to hog the
profits For thfrty-dve games played in
the American League this year the total
attendance has been over $50, 900. For thir-
ty-eight games played in the National
League the total attendance has been about
$4,000.
The actual attendance in each league has
been in excess Of these figures, for the rea-
son that the figures given have to- do only
with big crowds. In each instance only
games were reckoned on at which the at
tendance was 5000 or more. There have
been games at which the attendance ran
from 1000 to 5000. and these would swell
the totals materially. But the figures given
furnish an idea of the tremendous drawing
power of the national. game this year.
New York's share in the National League
patronage Is shown by the following fig
ures: For fifteen games played on the Polo
Grounds the announced attendance has
been about 100000. This is an average OF
over 10000 persons game. Five times
the size of the crowd has been represented
by five figures. and not once in the fifteen
games mentioned has the attendance fallen
below 6,O00 With due allowance Cor the
imitation of figures the game still has
drawn splendidly throughout the country.
There have been eleven times In the Amer
lean League when the attendance exceeded
10000 and fourteen times when such was
the case In the National League.

BIG FIGHTERS AGREE.
Jehr1es and Corbett Accept Offer Of
Yosemite Club,

James ]. Corbett and James J. Jeffries
met In San Francisco yesterday afternoon
and completed final arrangements for their
twenty-round boxing contest for the cham

there on or before August IA next.
Jeffries. attended by Billy Delany and
Kid Egan, arrived at Harry Corbett's place
at o'clock precisely. and after greeting
Corbett sat down to discussion of the
contract. After a somewhat lengthy con-
sideration Of the Yosemite Club manage
ment's offer of a purse Of $4,000. they
agreed to accept the offer of 10 per cent Of
the gross receipts in It's stead.
The question of the selection of a referee
was left to Jeffries and Corbett, with the
stipulation that they make their selection
previous to July Is. date three weeks in
advance of the day for the match Jeffries
and Corbett each agreed to forfeit 500 pro-
vided they cannot select referee by that

Both mines were adequately supported by
large number of rooters along the side lines
yesterday and from vocal standpoint the
opening game was literally a bowling sue

test was the clean, straightforward playing

dyism were attempted. 1t was clean sport,
and such as to command the approval of
those persons who enjoy healthy athletics.
The playing of both teams was rather
ragged. but considering that the ground Is
unusually rough and that the players are
all amateurs the game was nevertheless in
teresting. The roughness of the ground
caused many bad bounds, and was to
great extent responsible for many OF the
errors chalked up against both mines. Hits
that should have been good for only one
sack were stretched to three-baggers be-
cause of the bounding of the ball in such a
manner as to elude the grasp of the out
fielders. The defects in the field will prob
ably be greatly remedied before the season
has advanced to a very great extent.
The Gunton-Temple boys began scoring
chalked up. and at the end Of the fifth they
had six scores to their credit. In their half
OF the sixth the Gunton-Temple players be-
gan pounding the leather all over the lot,

and nearly every man who had chance
made an error which resulted disastrously,
the Presbyterians getting five tallies out OF
the mixup. Their last run was made in
the eighth.
The Baptists secured five scores in the
first four innings, and were then given goose
eggs until the eighth, when several good
hits and number of costly errors netted
the Baptists five runs. The score would
have been tied in this inning but for the
unfortunate interference of one of the
Temple Baptist players with Catcher Ste

A number of sensational plays were made
on both sides, and there were several dou-
ples. In the seventh Harveycutter drove q
swift fly into right field and Bliss gathered

result of stumble. He held the ball, how
ever. and retired the side.
