EXCITING CONTEST
IN MARYLAND.
The Issue This Year is the Election
Laws Enacted by a Democratic
Legislature.
Special to The A RGUs.

Baltimore, Md, Nov 2.-The pres
ent campaign in Maryland is an excit-
ing contest for big political stakes. In
addition to the State ticket, including
the governor, controller and attorney
general, a legislature is to be elected
that will elect two United States Sen
ators-one to fill the unexpired term of
the late Senate German, the other for
the succeeding full term.
The Republican State ticket, headed
by George r. Gather, of Baltimore, for
governor, is considered one Of the
strongest that the party has ever nam
ed ia Maryland. Austin l.. Crothers,
who resigned from the Judiciary on De-
ing nominated for governor by the
Democrats, is a man of good family
and high personal character.
The issue this year is the election
laws enacted by a Democratic Legisla-
tnre. The Republicans allege that un-
der these la w most OF the cOlOred
voters are DISTINGUISHED. The party
has waged II vigorous contest and is
bs,l,efui of electing its candidate for
governor. The Democrats are believed
40 be somewhat handicapped by the
Hact Thai they have lacked a competent
leader since the death of Senator Cor

two yesterday and Manager Grant smiled whole smile.
 All the teams seem to be in shape to make a good race, with the possi- ble exception of the Brooklyns who will need a little toning up.
 The umpires want to look out and not be too nasty in rendering de- cisions. While they have all the powers of the big league umpires, di- plomacy at times goes a great ways.
 Watch out for that Pastime bunch again this season. They were not warmed up to the occasion yesterday but they kept the Hills on the jump at that.
 The St Josephs will be in the swim and don't let any of the other man. agers think they won't. Manager Guilfoile has something up his sleeve that will make the other teams sit up and listen even if some of the play CTS he was figuring on deserted him.
 That was good crowd for start CT and when the weather grows warmer the grounds will be packed every Sunday and then the fans will see some real excitement, for the fight this year promises to be bit ter one.

First Battle Unsatisfactory.

The North Ends and the St Josephs were pitted against each other in the opening game and the North Finders went after the game hot foot, scoring four runs in the first inning and one in the second. The St Joe boys then woke up and when the sixth inning ended the score stood to 6 in favor of the North Enders. In the seventh inning the game came to close most suddenly. The balls in play had been knocked over the back stop by fouls and while the managers of the teams were waiting for the ball to be re- turned by one of the officers, Umpire Thompson called for another ball. None was forthcoming as quickly as with called the game because of the delay and the score reverted to the sixth inning, after the North Ends had scored one run in the Seventh. The score:
 R.H.E. North Ends .. OO22 1-9 Q 3 St Joephs .. O000 *-G ] The lineup of the two teams was as follows: North Ends-Lawlor, of; Shambo. 2b; Champion. 3b: Noonan. ss; Bagley, 1b; Conrad, Hodge, If; Kane. If; Finn, D.

CITY LEAGUE
A VERY GOOD
 BEGINNING
Champions of Last Season Went Down to Defeat-Hills, Merri-
 macs and North Ends Won.

The City Amateur baseball league opened the season very auspiciously yesterday before crowd of one thousand fans and while some of the contests were not satisfactory, the fans undoubtedly looked on tl.em without prejudice as they were the first games played and some of tue teams had but little practice, owing to the uncertainty of the opening. The opening games served to show to the managers just where their weak spots were and probably exploded d few phenOmenons. The surprise of the day was the awful walloping tile Brooklyns, champion of last season received at the hands of the Merri- macs. The Hills and the Pastimes played the better game and Manager Coughlin has made good his word that he is out for the pennant this year right from the drop of the hat.

Slaughter of Chamnions.

The BroOklyns started in to do things as if they were going to win the penant right off the reel. Before the Merrimacs had awakened the boys from over the bridge had scored four runs. Then the Merrimacs began to to make things look interesting and scored three themselves. while the Brooklyns added one more. Thus the score stood ] to 2 when the sixth in- ming came around. Then an ava lanche hit the Brooklyns and the Mer- rimacs seemed to mesmerize them for when the smoke of battle in this in- ming had cleared away the Merrimacs had thirteen stolen bases and eight runs with one hit. The last year champions tried hard to overcome this disaster and did succeed in getting five men over the plate in the seventh, but the Merrimacs wanted the game and piled up a few more runs tLein. selves and as darkness came over the hills Manager Mike Madden took his team of humbled champions back to the club, rooms in Brooklyn and told them a few things that would go only in b8Seball stories.

THE BATTING AVERAGES.

Waterbury has played eight games but only seven count in the standing as one was tie contest with Hart ford which will have to be played over and therefore the records of the play in that game cannot be used. The real leader of the sluggers in the To- cal team is our old friend George La chance, although Raub has the high est percentage, but as he played in but one game the percentage of La change Outshines him. We have three men batting over 300. Lachance, Ward and Schincel, with McEnroe close up to that mark. The poorest showing has been made by McAndrews, who is really at the foot of the ladder al
 though there are .hree without any average, but they only played in one game each. The averages are as fol

Second Game Better.

The Washington Hills and the Pastimes played the next game and 1t was well fought throughout. Dick Phelan was on the slab for the Hills and he did his work well and was given the best kind of support. Leese started in to work for the Pastinies, but was relieved after the Hills had scored three times on him and Bob Moran took his place. The Hills were not to he denied however. and pound ed the ball hard enough to keep them ahead throughout. The score:

Coming Bouts That Are Attracting
 Considerable Attention.

Billy Papke. the western welter- weight, still continues knocking out his opponents in quick order. his lat est being Johnny Carroll, of New York, whom he fought and put away in four rounds at Peoria, III, on Tuesday night.
 The fight up to the time of the knockout looked all in favor of the New York boy. who outclassed his man as far as science was concerned, but near the end of the round Papke caught Carroll a right hook to the jaw and right to the stomach and he went down for the count.

The Woodmen of the World played a picked team of some of the best city amateur players and beat them by score of 10 to O. yesterday. The feature of the game was the double play made by Shanahan, Quinn and SQuires of the Woodman's team. Butler also comes in for his fine throwing to second base. Miller was in fine form in the pitchers box and held them down to only four hits. Manager Dunn is proud of his team and will play any Woodman team in the New England states.
