 dead run. Durrett getting to 1t first lar feature was a long running catch of Jansing's of a foul fly. How he got 1t is a mystery, but he pulled 1t down almost at the foul right field fence. Those two incidents" merely serve to give some idea of the brilliancy of the work of the Pretzels yesterday-they simply smothered the Crackers beneath
 some ,cyclonic fielding and lightning
 base running. If Brandt ever pitched l a better game of ball than yesterday he must be a wonder. Certain it IS that he has never done 1t here. Two | scattering hits were made off him, one
 by Mig Clarke in the second. and one by Kohler in the fourth. During the | remainder of the game he was as much | of an unknown quantity to the Crack | CTS as the inside of Port Arthur is to

THE ANGEL OF FORT YUKON.
Heroic Conduct of a Boston Woman Amo
 Stricken Indiana


 Bishop Rowe. of Alaska, has written me from sitka, July 1s, (says D. c. Garren in the Boston Transcript, telling of the cpl demic of diphtheria among the Indians at Fort Yukon, and of the heroism of Bos- ton young woman. Miss Woods, a nurse at of the Alaskan missions. One hundred and twenty-five natives had already hoon seized with diphtheria, among whom tV l. ty-five had died. Miss Woods on receiv. .ng the news started to the rescue making a journey of one hundred miles by canoe. Her presence at Fort Yukon. the Bishop writes, has been spoken of as that of an angel. There are no physicians at Fort Yukon, and very little in the way of food and medicines, etc. The heroic conduct of this Boston wo- man, reminding one of the mission of Sister Dora, will stir many heart to nobler i'm pulses not only among Miss Woods friends in Massachusetts. but generally throughout the country. Bishop Rowe deplores his in- ability to return at once to the scene of suf- fering. He is still suffering from the ef fects of months of exposure in the snow and cold of Alaska, having late in the spring travelled alone with dogs and sled distance of five hundred miles across the mountains to Valdez.

STATEMENT NOT TRUE.
Delehanty Says Clarke Used no Vile
 Language.

"Of all the farfetched stories I ever heard the one sent from New Orleans about Clark and the newspaper man in the St. Charles Hotel was the worst" said Frank Delehanty yesterday.
 Whoever sent 1t to The Advertiser must have been drawing largely on his imagination, for there was not the least sign of anything that he refers to. As to using vile language to the umpire that also is untrue-Clark did no more than other members of the team-he was simply doing everything in his power to win for Montgomery, and that Is all there was to it."
