Kramer's Title as Safe and as Unsafe
 as in the Spring.

Kramer's Title as Safe and as Unsafe
 as in the Spring.
 It was not a double-point race in the championship circuit at which Kramer fclI at Providence last week, as was enormously announced in New Eng land at the time, and the struggle be- tween Kramer and Lawson is not as nearly ended as it was thought to~be. Besides the circuit meet at Manhattan Beach on Saturday there will be three more on New England tracks and still another at the Beach. As Kramer and Lawson are now tied at 33 points each they are on as equal terms as at the beginning of the season, and each meeting between them from now on will be for blood. Meantime, Willet Tenn, who stands we'll up in the list, has a notion that he, perhaps, can make the goal himself. The deliberate throwing away of the big points by Kramer and Lawson, such as was seen last Saturday, encourages Fenn, and lf that sort of thing is continued he really may win on points
 The presence in France of Major Taylor and Woody Hedspeth of Chi cago. whom the Parisians persist in
  introduction of a new game on the tracks there This is a series of team races, Blacks against whites" A race of this sort run at the Buffalo vel odrome on August B is reported in the French papers as being of absorbing interest It was won by Taylor and Hedspeth, who were teamed against Bourotte and Jue. Tn the first heat at 1000 metres, the order of finish was: Taylor Bourotte, Jue, Hedspeth. The second heat was at 1000 metres ridden on tandems, and this the black pair won. The third race, a pursuit race, was won by the whites in minutes 33 seconds, and a final between Taylor and Jue at 300 metres was won by TayIor in 38 seconds, which was four fifths of second better than the re- cord According. to the papers Major Taylor has returned to his winning form and is again taking most of the first prizes.

At Hartford.

Hartford, Aug 26.-The baseball game started off in fine fashion yester- day afternoon and Hartford and Meri- den had a terrific. battle until the rain came down. Meriden had five rounds with the stick and Hartford had four and but for mistake on the part of the Hartfords they might have had an- other crack at the ball and worked a run in. Captain Thomas got the idea in his head that his side had batted five innings and the other side four. This is why he did not insist on the Hartfords having their half of the fifth. After the game the giant cap tain said he never knew his memory to play such trick on him before.

iHolyoke and Meriden Against Lowell
 and Manchester

. :.
 Meriden, Aug. 26.-An event of more than usual importance in base ball cir cles of New England is being consid- cred at present, and will in all proba- bility be consummated. It is series of games between Holyoke and Meri- den as the leaders of the Connecticut with Lowell and Manchester as leaders of the New England league for ths championship of New England.
 Manager Dan O'Neil of the Holyoke team sent dispatch to Manager Ken nedy yesterday proposing this pla~ and the local manager at once tel graphed his acceptance. The two will meet within a few days to arrange for a meeting with the New England league managers and fix the dates and places and details of the proposed series.
 Both league seasons end on the same date, September 12, and the post-sea- son series could be arranged to take place immediately afterwards. It is understood that the New England league clubs are ready to meet the Connecticut leaguers half way and no difficulty is expected in arranging terms.
 1t is the 1nTSnJIOn to play two UT more games in this city. with like number in Holyoke and in the other places. Mir O'Neil recognizes the strength of the Meriden team and be 1ieves that the two should easily carry off the championship honors, and later settle the individual points between themselves,
 HoIyoke, Aug 26.-The Holyoke club yesterday sent a challenge to the lead CTS of the New England league to play a post-series for the championship or New England.
 As it could not be told yet whether Manchester. N H. or Lowell. Mass would win the New England cnampion- ship. both were challenged.
 It will be the first time the two leagues have met and there will De much interest in base ball circles over the proposed series. 4,a

 The Rochester Buffalo and Provi- dence-Jersey City games were post poned on account of rain.
 At 3 meeting of the board of direc- tors of the Manchester base ball asso- citation last evening it was unanimous ly voted that no more games be played with Willinqantic while that team is under the present management.
 There are 13G clubs in American pro- fessional base ball, with an average of hfteen players to each club. It is a conservative estimate that each one of these players will draw a salary for the season of $1 ,000, which makes the grand aggregate of base ball salaries in Americas organized professional ball $2,O4O,00
 Pitcher Waddell of the Philadelphia American league team was released permanently by Manager Mack yester- day. WaddeIi did not put in an ap- pearance for yesterday S game and yes terday afternoon he was told to hand over his uniform to the club and to consider his services no longer at the disposal of the Philadelphia team.
 The bankruptcy of Sturgis Whitlock, the president of the Connecticut league, will probably not cause his resignation. says Secretary O'Rourke.- Msriden Journal. Why should it? If a new president were elected, Secre- tary O'Rourke would lose his position as the judge of everything and every body and the suspender of players, um- pires and managers.
 Money will buy anything in base ball.' said a prominent Polo ground enthusiast the other day, "and Brush has made plenty of it this season. Every staunch supporter of the team would like to see him spend some of it and at any cost secure pitchers who. with Mathewson and McGinnity, can yet win the championship this sea- son."
 Tn the crash of the Philadelphia bleachers, in which several persons lost their lives and many were injured, the Phillies' mascot, Sammy Kelly. was among the victims. He was a bit Of a codger, and travelled for two years with the team around the circuit. His first duty at the park was to ask his best friend. Duggleby, when it was time to open the gate. Just before the little fellow died he uttered his last words: Dug. is 1t time to open the Gafes" It was for he then passed in.

The case is interesting in that it in.
wolves a question Of the validity of a

The law specifies that the amount

ton of redemption and the fling of

notice published by Robert Angus in
1859, mention was only made of the
delinquent taxes for that year. There
was defect in tho published. notice
which would affect the legality Of the

On these grounds the court decided
the title to land held. by Mrs. An.
