The AIoysius club succeeded In downing
the strong Foundry team of the G. P. 0.
League yesterday on Malone lot before
crowd of fully 2.0O0 fans. Corrigan and
Handboe, the two side-wheelers. did the
slab work for the North Capitol street
boys, while Brown. who did such splendid
work against the Commissioners earlier in
the season, served them for the link
leaguers" Foundry's lone tally came In the
first. Hunt, the first man up, was hit by
Corrigan. went to second on Webb's free
pass and scored on Atkinson's single over
second. For AIoysius In their half of the
first, Logan and Handiboe both walked.

landed safe, was advanced on Browns free
pass. and scored on a two-base hit by
Gates. In the seventh Aloysius added four
more to the run column by four singles,
two-base hit and errors by Herbert and
Brown.

the game. while his backstop work was
the best seen on those grounds this sea-

GREAT YEAR FOR
NATIONAL GAME.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, August 17-Ban
Johnson and Harry Pulliam, the heads OF
the two base ball organizations In Amer
lea. were still in the city last evening and
both expressed themselves as more than
gratified with the financial results of the
present season.
Il can say without fear Of contradiction
that the National League never has done
better than 1T has this year." said Presi-
dent Harry Pulliam.
And it would not surprise me that the
end of this year would show that the sea-
son has been the most prosperous that we
have ever had. When you consider that
there practically has been no race on our
circuit, nothing but a procession with
New York leading all the way. you can
readily see what 1t means to be able to
give encouraging a report. How do
account for it? Simply that the public
has confidence In the National League and
knows that 1t will see honest sport in
every game that is played and that all
the affairs that are connected with the
league are honestly administered"
President Johnson says that the season
in the American League has passed all
expectations.
I'VE did not look for better year than
1904 he said, but we certainly have had
1t. The magnificent race we have main
tained all season and the high class Of
base ball our teams have been playing
are responsible for this result
Johnson was well pleased over the work
of the national commission at its meet
ing Friday.
Yes, the Hildebrand decision, of course,
suited me-. said he, and SO did all the
other results"
President Pulliam will spend two or
man at the Laughery Club, a few miles
out.

POST SERIES ASSURED.
Happy to Know Giants
Will Play the Winner.

NEW YORK, August 17.-Clark Griffith
declared himself the happiest man in
America yesterday before leaving for the
west. The statement by Secretary
Knowles of the Giants that the Giants
would play the winner of the American
League pennant,' said Griffith, lis equiva-
lent to admission that public opinion has
forced the management of the New York
Nationals to play us il we win the Ameri-
can League pennant.
This is glorious. / have been afraid
and there are thousands of our followers
who have held the same opinion, that tho
Giants would by some hook or crook
dodge meeting our team, even If we won.
In fact, bets have been offered that Mr.
Brush would never consent to a meeting.
Now that his representative. Mr.
Knowles. says openly that the Giants will
play the winner of the American League
race. even ii it be the Highlanders, 1 am
the happiest man in the country"
DO you expect to wing? asked the re-
porter.
Il make it a rule" replied Griffith, ito
avoid predictions. but say for me that We
want that pennant, and we want 1t so
badly that there doesn't seem any way
for me to get out of telling you that be-
lieve will win.
Talk about Garrison finish. why it Is
no comparison to this winding up. OF
course the agreement between the Amer
lean and National leagues calls for
series of games between the pennant win
ners, but there Is no penalty for a club
refusing to play. You see, the National
commission cannot force either teams to
play.
This gives us q good cheer for the
western trip II we don't win the PEN
nant the people will see the most desper-
ate attempt ever made.
You may say for me that the Giants
will play any American League team for
the championship of the world this fall"
This is the statement made yesterday
afternoon by John j. McGraw, manager
of the New York base ball club.
And, might add" continued the little
manager, that don't care how close to
home we have to play
This remark Is significant, for 1t means
that McGraw Is just as willing to have
the Giants engage in series with the
Highlanders as with the Athletics or
Cleveland
II think I have the best base ball team
in the world" added McGraw. land II
am going to prove 1t / certainly want to
beat the next best team.
THE New York club was one of the first
to subscribe to the idea OF worlds
championship series conducted by the
national commission and governed by
special set of rules, We have not done
anything that would lead any one to be-
lieve that we did not intend to stick by
this compact l have not heard any such
gossip, and want to repeat that we Will
surely be mixed up in that series II we
win the pennant. think we have prac-
tically done that already"

After five innings of what looked to be
close game, st. Vincent Of the Marquette
League won from st. Paul of the Episcopal
League, on the latter's errors. when good
field qualities meant smaller number of
runs. Two hits and Seitzs wild throw

piling up three runs, while in the next two
rounds two errors and a single won the
game for the Marquette Leaguers. Score.

ms and outs. helped to win the game for
his team. Only four men could indent his
delivery, while nine men failed to connect
at his expense.
Byram did the tossing for the Episco-
palians. but the support given him was
rather bad. After eight innings of a trying
ordeal Captain McKnew. who was at the
receiving end Of the firing, changed his
place and went to the dispatchng end,
