Praise for the Bean Eaters Su.

Think Young Will Knock Bats
from Pirates Hands.

Boston, Mass, Oct. Manager James
r. McAleer. of the ST Louis Ameri-
cans. in an interview today said of the
new champions:
THE Boston team is the best in the
world. and will prove itself SO when it
meets Pittsburg. Boston has grand
twirling staff, and Criger is in class
by himself. The infield is like a stone
wall and it must be very hard hit
ball which gets past Parent or Collins.
The outfield is strong, and Dougherty.
Stahl and Freeman are all hard hit
ters. That's what counts.
Il think Boston will wipe I'D the
earth with Pittsburg They'll outpitch
the Pirates. Cy Young will knock the
bats out of the Pittsburgers' hands if
he has his usual speed with him. Cri-
ger Will break up the Pirates cele-
brated hit-and-run play, and 1 believe
the Reaneaters will bat just as hard.
If not harder, than the lads from the
Smoky CITY"
Captain Bobby" Wallace said:
Boston has always been a Stun
bling block for the Browns, and this
season was no exception to the rule.
The men from the Hub are always put
ting up snappy game. You never see
the team go to pieces. Then, in a tight
game, some Bostonite is always bob

.'Boston's pitching staff made good
with a vengeance. Collins has three

any day and expect them to keep the
hits down to a minimum. think
Boston's pitchers have held the oppo-

Secretary Robert Lee Hedges, of the
Browns, said:
What I admire most is the team
play of Collins and his men. They are

never give up, no matter what the score

NOT ENOUGH INTEREST.
Lawrence People Think They Will
Get Orient Without Contributing.

+ The Lawrence JefferSonian says: The
committee to solicit subscriptions to the
Orient stock Eere out working today on
the street until the rain came and met
with good success. When he was here
the other night Frank Grimes explained
that the company would rather have a
have one man take one hundred shares.
He said that they wanted an interest
aroused, and wanted the people OF Law
renee to become personally interested in
the welfare of the road. That seems to
be the prevailing idea. and with two or
three hundred citizens IN and about the
town holding stock. of course the in
terests of the road would be looked after
by home men. and more business would
be secured when the road is built The
people of Lawrence have not been en-
thusiastic in the matter, and little in
terest has been Displayed. Senator Hen
ley said today that he did not believe
the people were aware of the Importance
of the matter, or they would have been
working long ago They seem to think
that the road will come without effort
on our part, and maybe it VIII. But
did you ever know a road to come with
out being brought? The Orient is not
very different from other roads, and
they all want to be invited and then
urged before they will consent to come.
Lawrence may get the road without do
ing thing. But if we do not do a
thing and then lose the road, we shall
be kicking ourselves for many years to
come.

Some National League Incident..

New York, Oct 1.-The second chap
ter of the result of the battle between
National League players for the cham
pionship of their respective positions is
herewith given to the followers of base
ball.
One of the most interesting features
IN the many hot battles which have
taken place since play was first called
last April Is has been the struggle be-
tween seymour, of Cincinnati, and Beau
mont of Pittsburg, to beat each other
out with the stick. Last season Beau
mont won the batting championship,
with Seymour right at his heel. This
year Seymour has the satisfaction of
looking back at the great player of the
Smoky City. Seymour ranks fifth, with
347. and Beaumont sixth, with 341.
The terrific batting of the Cincinnati
team during the last series with Phila-
delphia enabled the Reds to pass Pitts
burg, who held the position since the
season first opened.
Beaumont, of Pittsburg, and Donlin,
OF Cincinnati, are the only players in
the National League to make 100 runs.
Beaumont was the first to make 100
hits, and crossed the two-hundred mark
before 1903 passed into history.
Owing to the fact that Kennedy of
Plttsburg, has only taken part in IA full
games there is some doubt about his be-
ing declared the champion sticker for
the year. Nevertheless. Kennedy will be

close games pulled out of the fire by the
Pirates.
The tail-end Cardinals can boast of
leading the league in one respect, which
is in the matter of double plays, the list
being as follows: st. Louis, 119; Pitts
burg, 102; Brooklyn, 50; Cincinnati, 49,;
Boston, 50; New York, So; Chicago, SO !:
Philadelphia, Il.
Lever, of Pittsburg, has the best rec
ord among the pitchers.
The champion fielders for 1903 are as
follows; Pitcher, Fraser. of Philadel-
phia; catcher, Warner. of New York;
first baseman, MeGann, of New York;
second baseman. Ritchey. of Pittsburgh
third baseman, Dunn of New York with
"a games played, followed by Wolverton,
of Philadelphia, the leader of the regu-
lars, with 122 games. Dahlen of Brook
Ign, and Corcoran, of Cincinnati, are al
most tie for shortstop laurels. Dunleavy
of st. Louis, is the best outfielder.
Donlin, of Cincinnati is the boss long
distance hitter with 26 doubles, 20 triples
and home runs Chance. of Chicago,
is far and away the best base stealer.

MAJOR DELMARs FAST MILE
Over Oakley Park Track, Cincinnati,

the worlds trotting record of 200 at
Oakley park, and completed the mile In
2:OOA. which is his fourth mile this
season better than 2:01. and the fastest
mile ever trotted in Ohio.
The track was in grand shape, but
there was a stiff breeze blowing up the

The first eighth was passed in Is sec

from the trot to the pace. Mcdonald
pulled him up and came back. The
next time he came down he was going
steadily, but seemingly not so fast. He
drew in closer to the rail as they
rounded the first turn, but the track
was deeper. there and Mcdonald pulled
out yard or so by the time they got
to the quarter. in 301z seconds. Along
the back stretch the game little gelding
struck a most perfect stride, and he

59A seconds. Around the far turn he
came with swing that set the great
crowd to cheering Justify AS regu-
larly as a piece of machinery, he strid-
ed past the three-quarters in 1:29A.
The runner in front tired so perceDt-
IDLY about 200 yards from the wire that
Mcdonald was forced to pull out from
behind the shield for fear of a spill.
Under the wire he came as strong as
he went away and was striding with
astonishing case. The time, 2:0OA, was
received with a shout which was pro-
4onged and fully demonstrative of the
appreciation of the effort, though the
attempt had been a failure Major Del
