An error by Garvin and fielders choice, followed by two stolen bases, caused couple more tallies to reach the rubber, when a little fly to Walters came rolling to the ground again. The Pretzels were finally retired.
 Men Laid Out
 It was day of men getting hit with the ball The fastest sphere that Max well cut loose. caromed from the stick and planted itself solidly over Umpire Pfenningers heart. The field indicator threw up his hands and sank to Mother Earth Doctors gallantly ambled Into the field, and with considerable precision, in iected a line of live dope into his rlght winglet He soon regained his feet.
 The man next cast to the ground was the gallant and neglected Ripping, Roar ing" Rip Ragan. Houtz started Tor sec and with about the same velocity that cannon ball employs when 1t makes an issuance from the mouth of the gun Mat thews would retire him at second lie threw badly, and the sphere landed sol idly against Ragans cranium. He fell to the ground, and again did doctors start to the field, with instruments on display. The wounded gladiator finally regained his feet, however, and soon was none the worse. In the eighth inning, again was the Ragan a target This time a line ball from Buschs bat flattened It. self against the calf of his goodly right leg, and he once more came near the around
 In addition to this long list of casual ties two batters were hit by pitched balls Meeks was stung by Maxwell, and Ragan planted one solidly in the ribs of Busch.
 The Real Reason. Oyler's absence from the game is the real reason explaining the deleats of Mon day and yesterday Garvin did the best he could. and deserves credit, But he is not Oyler, nor Is anyone else In this league Oyler. Many of the balls that Garvin missed would have been easy for the regular shortstop. and several of those that went for clean singles would have been dead birds. Garvin is not at all to blame. But the above is simply the fact in the case.
 And Oyler's absence cast a general dis pondency over the team, which could not be shaken off An error here was father to an error there. And thus the evening went its way. A miscue was contagious and finally that point was reached where nothing could be stopped. It was simply a runaway.
 It is probable that no one of the team should be censured. They all did their best but simply lost their nerve. Their pent-up energy gave way after long, long strain. and the collapse was com plete Everyone knew that 1t would final ly come, and that it's absence lasted from May 25 was what acused many to mar vel.
 The Barons are none the worse for the drubbing They themselves smiled over | the disaster last evening They will re- port to the field this afternoon with new spirit, and new ginger. and that the day will be won is already written.

Father KnickerboCker has been very
successful with all his real estate ven
lures, but never more so than in the
case of Central park Less than half
century ago the present Central park
was waste OF rocks and swamps. The
city Of New York obtained control OF
the territory and issued bonds to the
amount of 100000 for the acquisition
OF the land. Bonds to the amount OF
S2,100,000 were issued at the same time
for the improvement Of the Central
park. AS this improvement progressed
other bonds for $l,725,000, known as
Central park bonds" were issued, and
Etill more were sold for the building OF
for the reservoir there, bringing up
the total amount of cost to the city of
the Central park to $l2,5O0,OOO. This
was the first cost" states the Sun
ana an additional sum OF S2,500,000 has
been expended for construction and
improvement of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum OF Art, the One Hundred and
Tenth street and Eighth avenue en-
trance and sundry park buildings. In
ell $l5,O00,0 900 has been expended by
the people of New York for the acqui-
sition and improvement of Central
park. The assessed value OF the land
included within the boundaries of Cen
tal park is now SlS5, 100000. AS a
matter of fact, the land included with
IL Central park is probably worth $780,
