EASTERN LEAGUE
CHAMPIONSHIP.

PROVIDENCE. RI, September 24-Prov-
fdence won the championship OF the Eastern
League here yesterday by winning the
fourth straight game from Rochester and
the fourteenth straight victory since Begin
ming remarkable three-cornered fight for
the pennant with Baltimore and Jersey City.
In the last twenty games the Grays have
won nineteen. and succeeded In beating the
Orioles out only by playing one more game
and winning It. Had Providence lost yes
terday's game Baltimore would have won
the pennant by ave points. Magnificent
home support was given the Clam Diggers.
the attendance in the concluding series be-
ing the largest ever seen here. Yesterday
more than 1900 enthusiastic fans gathered
at Rocky Point, where the decisive contest
was played, and cheered the Grays to VIC
tory.
Manager Jack Dunn. formerly Of the New
York Nationals, put Jack Cronin. who also
came from tho New York Nationals, into
the box against the Rochesters. who were
regarded as dangerous antagonists and also
changed his batting order.
Cronin, who has proven the star of the
Grays pitching staff, had the confidence Of
the fans present, for when Umpire Moran
announced that he was to pitch the game
there was wild burst OF cheering, lasting
for at least five minutes. All through the
game his pitching arm seemed to control all
manner of slants and curves. The team
supported him In grand STYLE
Rochester. on the other hand, seemed a bit
nervous and began to make errors from the
opening of the game, Mclean showed this
most Of all. giving the first man base on
balls In the opening inning. 1t was In the
second that the Grays began the slaughter
which landed them the pennant. Hook. who
has been doing remarkable hitting in the
past two weeks. started with single, and
before the inning closed enough runs had
crossed the plate to win an ordinary game.
Rochester went out in one. two. three order
for the first four innings: then came two Of
their three runs. on a single. a tWo-bagger
and Barclays timely swat. Errors and
hit for base by Cronfn. followed by
single. added three more runs to the Grays'
score in the sixth. But 1t was In the eighth
that the havoc was wrought. All the Grays
fell on Mclean for lusty swats and five more
runs were scored. The game was then hope
fessly lost for the visitors. When the game
was over a crowd gathered on the field and
lifted each player to their shoulders. and
amid cheering carried them to the dressing
room.

FOUR FOOT BALL TEAMS
AT WEST POINT.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
WEST POINT. N. Y. September +25.--As
a result of the work of the past week the
coaches In charge of the foot ball candi-
dates at the United States Military Acad-
envy have divided the players retained into
four teams. to be known as A, b. c and ID
teams Although the new class contained
some good material, the coaches are not so
sanguine of the outlook as they were earlier
In the season.
1t was thought no great trouble would be
had in filing the places left vacant by the
graduation of Upton. Graves IIammonr
and Seagraves. but the present development
of the candidates does not warrant thu
opinion that the team will make the show
ing it did last season. Chrtsty, who
played tackle last year, is out for guard,
as is also Meeks. In last years navy
game he proved the weakest spot, ana it
was through him that most of the gains
were made. Milhelm. who Is trying for
end. Is a big man, but has a great deal to
learn. Lewis. the 2O0-pounder, will prob
ably play center, as Abrahaoe has proved
an unreliable passer. In Johnson, who is
trying for quarter. the army has n find,
and under Days instruction. he Is develop
ing into star. Head Coach Boyer thinks
the team will average about 173 pounds this
year.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST STRIKE.
Proposed to Close Down Many Coal
Mines

A dispatch from Pittsburg last night
says that as a precaution against the ru-
mored coal strike 1t Is proposed that the
operators on April /, 1906 close down
every mine in Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana,
Illinois. West Virginia and part of Ken
lucky for an indefinite period. A meeting
of the coal operators of all these states has
been called for November % at Chicago.
The meeting will be asked to discuss a
plan to force the United Mine Workers to
accept a reduction Of from 10 to Is cents
o ton in mining rates or force q fight for
determination Of the unions. Anthracite
operators are credited with being the adj
vocates of such policy. The bituminous
coal operators favor advancing the price of
coal, 1t Is said, by closing down the mines
to limit the output. Herman JUST, COM
missioner for the Illinois Operators Asso-
citation, sent out the call.
The anthracite operators never hitherto
have entered into an agreement with the
bitumnous operators. There exists among
the western Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois soft coal operators an agree
ment known as the interstate agreement,
whereby the operators annually meet the
United Mine Workers of the various dis
tricts and settle on a mining rate t3r the
year, The anthracite operators are un-.
willing to deal with the union, and have
about 10000 miners employed in eastern
Pennsylvania under Individual contracts.
All the wage scales in the states named.
as nearly all the mining scales of fhe coun-
try, expire on April l. The coal miners are
getting better wages than ever before in
the history OF the industry, taking Working
facilities into consideration. The interstate
price is based on IS cents ton for coal
mined and run over an inch-and-a-quarter
screen. Some OF the western coal opera
tors want this reduced to 30 cents ton.
and the coal miners will have 20 NEE this
proposal at the coming January wage con-
ference. The eastern coal operators viii

The anthracite operators have begun pill
ing up coal and will do so all winter. The
soft coal producers will I'LL their docks at

barge and scow obtainable with coal be-
tween now and April l. The operators
have reached an understanding whereby no
contracts are to be accepted for delivery
after April 1. 1t Is expected that on that
date coal will advance at least 80 cents
ton.
The output OF the mines affected estf-
mated on the tonnage In 1904, is %. 1873. IS2

as low as So cents a ton. Anticipating q

and $1.05 Is being paid.

A special dispatch to the Herald from Ell

GIANTS LOST AGAIN
TO CHICAGO CUBS.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. September 25-After the
Giants had the last game Of the series W tn
the Cubs practically won yesterday, Joe
McGinnity was slaughtered in one Inning.
and the Cubs set 25.OOO people daffy by
piling up nine runs before they got tired.
The record-breaking crowd Of recent
years saw the game. Every seat in the
park was occupied. and great belt of ru-
manity. seated and standing on the grass.
circled the field. The fans approached
within fifteen feet Of first and third bases,
and extended fifty feet in front of the
stand, almost under the catcher.
1t was just the sort of a game the great
crowd was looking for. There was some
semblance of sanity for four innings, while
the Giants apparently had the Cubs on the
run. Bedlam broke loose In the fifth, when
McGraw's men. each good for two bases
under the ground rules. produced nine runs
for the Cubs.
McGinnity was then taken out and Ames
sent In. He proved wild. but effective.
The game had not been on fifteen min
utes before Umpire Enslie was hit over the
heart by a foul tip. He staggered and
when the next ball was pitched he fell in
faint and was unconscious for ten min
utes. While physicians and players were
working to revive him the big crowd on the
field broke from the control of the police
and swarmed to the diamond.
station. Every employee of the club includ-
ing President Hart, attempted to stem the
torrent of humanity that forced the play
ers from their benches and took possession
of all the field except the diamond. Twenty
minutes the police battled with spectators
before the game could proceed.
Every hit into the crowd was good for
two bases and every passed ball or W Id
throw that reached the yelling throng was
counted for two bags.
The Giants began real business In the
fourth, when Brownies hit. Tfnker's error,
McGann's sacrifice and double by Mertes
netted two runs.
After two were out in the fifth, Bresna-
han, Brown and Donlin slammed out safe
ones, gathering In two more.
Then came the massacre. Maloney
walked Evans hit into the crowd king.
Slagle and Casey drove out safe ones.
Chance hit to Dahlen, who threw over NC
Cams head, which made five runs Schultz
hit into the crowd and McG'nn'tv went to
the bench. the final score being 10 to D.

GREAT KANSAS CORN CROP.
Sunfower Farmers Are Buying Auto
mobiles

Kansas farmers will In a few days begin
harvesting the most valuable corn crop
ever grown in that state, according to dis
patch from Topeka last night. The lowest
estimate OF the Yield Is 25o.oO0.000 bushels.
while corn experts say it will go 25.oo0.o0O
bushels above that figure.
This years crop will probably reach the
yield of 1889. when the state harvested
pa, 600 COO bushels. But this years crop Is
much more valuable than that Of 1889. Now
the farmers are selling at 30 cents a bushei,
whereas In 1850 the greater part went for
10 cents a bushel. That year the railroads
were compelled to adopt emergency rates
and several hundred thousand bushels were
used for fuel in western Kansas. 1t was
cheaper to burn corn than to buy coal.
At the present price the corn crop wilt
net the farmers of Kansas $4,000, 600 The
Kansas banks are loaded with money and
farmers are buying automobiles and mod
ernizing their homes
