Since the beginning of the fiscal

ceipts of the government from all
sources has been $4,000, 900 less than
the expenditures. II the same ratio
Of loss is continued for the next ten
months the deficit viii amount TO
s144, 1000, 900 for the full fiscal year. It
may not amount to more than halt
that sum, but whatever it proves to
be shows the wasteful extravaganza
of the present administration.
For>the fiscal year ending June go.
1904, the Roosevelt administration ex-
pended SIT, Oo0, 900 more than the last
year of the Democratic administration,
and this was only counting the
amounts in three appropriation bills
out Of seven. namely, the Army, Navy,
and Civil and Miscellaneous. That
extraordinary extravaganza will be
exceeded this year. for the appropria-
tiops made by Congress exceed last
years expenditures by nearly sac. 00o..

BROKE LEG. BUT WON.
Right Fielder Rum Over by Coach as
He Pulled in Difficult Fly.

Although it cost him a broken leg,
Gilbert Mcmahon, II years of age, of
495 Chestnut street, East New York,
won the game for his team.
Mcmahon was right fielder in a
baseball game which was played yes
terday afternoon in Chestnut street
and Pitkin avenue. 1t was the last
inning and all the bases were filed.
McMahon's team was one run ahead
when one of the opposing team bat
ted fly into right field. Mcmahon
ran backward in his efforts to catch
the ball, failing to observe a coach
being driven rapidly through Chest
nut street.
Bounding if the air, Mcmahon
caught the ball only to fall under the
wheels of the coach. When specta-
tors and players reached him he still
held the ball, weakly exclaiming:
Hes out We've won the game"
Mcmahon was removed to st Mary's
hospital.

Cleveland, O.. Sept 24.--Local fans
were inclined to blame Umpire Jack
Sheridan for keeping the New York.
Americans in first place in the Amefi-
can league race yesterday. The High
landers played tie game with Cleye.
land in the first game of the s<Nes at
League park. Each side scored only
one run. "
For the Highlanders, Keller hit to
Turner, and the throw was wide.
Bemis claimed to have touched Keller
with the ball when he was three feet
! from the base, but Sheridan rightly
called him safe. This, followed by two
singles and an out. gave the New
YoIks the run that tied the score and
which remained a tie until the end OF
the ninth inning, when the game had
to be called, owing to darkness.
While this one play was fatal 70
Cleveland, still the maps" had an eX-
cellent chance to do something In the
ninth inning. After Bernhard had sin
lgled to center and Lush sacrificed,
Bradley hit one to Conroy, whose
throw was wide and carried Ganzeil
off the bag Bradley reached the bag
after Camel got his foot down and
Sheridan called him out. Then 1t
looked bright for Cleveland. Jack
Powell purposely walked Flick and
Lajoie, filling the bases, and took
chances on Claude Rossman. This was
the fourth time that Rossman had
chance to end the game in Cleveland's
favor In the three of the four times
he came to hat there were men on
bases. while the only time no one was
on base he singled. In the three times
he could not hit the outside of the dia-
mond. So Powell thought it best to
take chance. The big outfelder hit
a hard one, of which Elberfeld made
a great stop and forced Lajoie at sec
ond, and the game was over. By us,
ing his generalship Powell had saved
himself from a defeat as well as hold
ing the New Workers. in first place.
It was Powell's Judgment at all
times that prevented the ClevelandA
from winning. When Lajoie came up
with men on bases Powell allowed him
to walk Three times Larry was given
a free pass, much to the chagrin OF
the crowd.
Bernhard also pitched clever
game, only seven hits being made off
his delivery.

him, The Roman and Ida Highwood.
Wild Brine, Jr., won the last three

DRILLED IN BLOCKING.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept 24.-There
were things doing in yesterdays prac-
tice of the Harvard varsity football
eleven on Soldiers field. The men had
their first drill in blocking and break
ing through, : and several changes were
made in the makeup of the first
eleven. The most significant change
was shifting Phil Mills from full back
on the varsity to left tackle on the
second. Mills played tackle on the
freshman eleven three years ago and
in his sophomore year played end on
the varsity, while last year he was
substitute full back. He weighs 200
pounds now and is bit too heavy for
back of the line. Ray Oveson, for two
years varsity sub tackle, returned
yesterday, weighing over 200 pounds.
The changes in the first eleven We're

THE SPORTING NEWS.
BALL GAMES TOMORROW


Tomorrow afternoon the Pastimes
and the Merrimacs will cross bats for
the last time this season, and for a
purse Of $50. Last Sunday the Pas
times defeated the Merrimacs and thus
knocked them out of all hopes of the
pennant. This defeat led to many ar,
guments which became so heated that
it was decided to put little money up
and let the teams fight for, it. There
will be another feature in connection
with the games which will be started
at 3 o'clock, which should also make
it interesting. The winner of the
game tomorrow will meet the Brook
lyns on the following Sunday for 500
side. The proceeds of these games
will be put into a fund which will be
divided among the players. The thou
sands of people who have witnessed
the games every Sunday this season
now have a chance to give the players
a boost, and everybCA should pur'
chase a ticket. 1t will be a game worth
travelling far to see and will be fought
out from start to finish.
One of the important post-season
games will be played at Riverside park
tomorrow morning when the st
Thomas Cadets and the MerTimacs,
second tea two of the leading teams
in the Greater Waterbury Amateur
league, will cross bats for supremacy.
The game will be for $25 side. The
Merrimacs, elated with their victory
over the Acorns last Sunday, are con,
fident Of winning the game, while the
Cadets are just as confident that they
will defeat the east enders as e N'ly
as they have on several previous occa-
siOns this season.

q good many other things that he
buys than the same products are sold
for to the farmer in Europe. he dis
covers that high trust prices have
their drawbacks as well as their adj
vantages. AS long as high prices
were confined to wheat, cotton and
corn, the farmer had the best of it,
but now the trusts have forced up
the cost OF living, which includes near
ly everything the farmer does not pro-
duce, the profit made off the farm il
less than when prices, all arounds
were much lower. The quality OF
clothing is not nearly so good as It
was some years ago; the "all wool
and a yard wide" cloth is thing OF
the past; it is now nearly all cotton
and 33 inches wide, as anyone can dis
cover by measuring it and picking
even what is called fine goods to
pieces and closely examining it. The
high protective duty on wool has led
the manufacturer to initiate wool with
cotton, so that only an expert can dis
cover the difference. This wonderful
apparent transformation of cotton is
called the mercerizing process. end
the combine that is producing it Is
realizing vast profits. There is no

ference in price between cotton and

wool about twenty-five cents. Thus.
although the protective tariff on wool
is the highest on record. IL cents

secured, since 1897, the price of wool
has been much lower than under any
other high tariff. Yet. the farmers
have not made money on their sheep.
to Judge by the great decrease in the
number raised. reported by the Agris
cultural Department. The enormous
duty on wool has Induced the manu-
facturers to find substitute. the mer-
cerized cotton and shoddy. The shod-
dy mills of Cleveland and elsewhere
were never more prosperous than un-
der the present tariff. So the farmers
have been selling their wool at low
price and buying mercerized cotton
and shoddy at high price. when they
bought q suit of clothes or any fabric
supposed to be manufactured of wool.
These are some of the beauties Of
the high protective tariff. and how It

PARKER'S BUSY DAY
Judge Receives Many Callers
at the Hoffman House.
DELAYS HIS RETURN To- ESOPUS
Unc0nflrmed Report That Grover
Cleveland Will Be Asked to Assist
In Democratic National
Cnmnasnn

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Contrary to
his expectations, Judge Parker was I'M
able to complete his conferences with
political leaders and return last night
to his home at Esopus, N. Y. Many Wis
itors were admitted to Judge Parker's
apartments at the Hoffman House, but
nevertheless he found it possible to
take some recreation. He took long
walk before breakfast, and at night he
walked from his hotel to the Manhat-
tan club, where he took dinner.
Among the callers were some of the
most prominent Democrats identified
with the campaign. The list includes
Senator Arthur P. German of Mary
land, Colonel Daniel S. Lamont of Mill
brook, N. Y; Colonel James NJ. Guffey
of Pennsylvania former Senator James
r.. Jones Of Arkansas, Daniel j. Cam
pau of Michigan and Thomas E. Ryan
of Virginia.
Senator German was with Judge
Parker more than an hour. They went
over the plans for the campaign and
agreed that the canvass should be got
under way without delay and be con-
Quoted in an energetic manner until
November Some Of the details were
considered, and there was discussion
as to the strongest speakers to use in
the doubtful states. The report that
they are to invite former President
Grover Cleveland to take part could
not be confirmed, Senator German
thinks that much depends upon New
York state and expressed qualification
when told that Justice D. Cady Her
rick and Representative Francis Bur-
ton Harrison, candidates for governor
and lieutenant governor respectively,
are to open the local campaign without
delay.
Party managers interested in the
state campaign said that there are no
longer any factions to harmonize and
in support of the statement called at
tention to the fact that Comptroller
Edward M. Grout of Brooklyn had
given out an interview repudiating a
story that he intended to retire from
politics. Mr. circuit has announced that
he will go on the stump for the state
and national tickets.
The national campaign was discussed
with the candidate by Colonel La.
mont and Mr.. Campau, who were
Judge Parker's guests at luncheon.
Soon after the luncheon Judge Parker
saw Colonel Guffey, National Chair
man Taggart, Senator Culberson OF
Texas, Representative John Sharp Viii.
liams of Mississippi, Herman Rfdde1
of New York, Representative William

CANS POSTS 1000.

To show that he is in earnest about
arranging a bout with Jimmy Britt,
and that he can easily get to the light
weight limit, 1873 pounds, Joe Cans
yesterday posted $1,000 to bind the
match. Harry CoTbett is holding the
money. The only obstacle to the men
facing each other is the announcement
that no more fights are to be allowed
in San Francisco this month. Britt
is intent upon deciding the combat
there, but this apparently is out of the
question. Cans is willing to go to Los
Angeles, Butte, Mont, Or any place

AMERICAN LEAGUE.
TABLE OF PERCENTAGES.

The New York Nationals touched
the century mark of games won yes
terday.
Wiltsie figured in losing game for
New York yesterday, the first in a
long time.
Heine Batch contributed the only
error made by the Brooklyns in two
games Thursday.
Coombs of the Northamptons receiv-
ed his bumps Thursday and the Green
field players fattened up their batting
averages accordingly.
Just a year ago the Boston Ameri,
cans were leading the league by 121
points with Cleveland second. In the
National league Pittsburg had lead
over New York of IS points.
Mike Lynch only allowed Brooklyn
five hits in the first game Tuesday, but
Scanlon went him three better and al,
lowed the Pirates only two. AS re-
suit Pittsburg was shut out.
Jack Harper has signed with Gin
cinnati for next season at the same
salary he has received for two years
Jack made contract when the base
ball war was on and now that the
contract has run out he hardly ex-
pected to get the same figure.
The unique feature of the passing
season in Boston, says the Boston Rec
ord, is the intelligent interest that wo-
nine are taking in the game. Their op-
portunity Of learning baseball came
when ladies day became an estab-
lished institution, and the higher edl-
cation of women has progressed with
an irresistible rush the past summer.
The season has been prolific in extra.
inning games. In the American league
there have been IL thinning contests,
10 Trimmings, 3 13-inning contests, / OF
II innings, of 10 innings, and / 16-
inning battle. The National league
has had 4 thinning games A thinning
games, 13-inning tits, 15-inning
set-to, and of IL innings. Both
leagues have had 1O-inning games too
numerous to mention.
