McGraw's Men Put Dahlen's
Dodgers at Disadvantage
Early in Game.
BATTING ORDER.

WASHINGTON PARK, BROOKLYN
With Ames In the box and the bat
ters hitting in their usual stride, the
Giants got an early lead IN to-dsy's
game with Brooklyn, very much to the
delight OF 1000 fans who came over
from the big town.
In the opening round Doyle smashed
another home run over the right heid
fence. duplicating his performance OF
last Saturday. Devore walked as
starter. and then came the big wallop
that put both runs over the pan. snod-
grass walked and stole second. but
Murray struck out. Becker fouled TO
first and Groh flied out to Daily. TWO
RUNS.
The Superbss failed to score in their
half. though they had an excellent op-
portunity. After Moran had gone out
DAILY singled and Smith did likewise. but
Days poor base running caused him to
be nailed at third. Daubert then popped
out to Meyers.
The Giants drew a blank In the second
after they had given Brooklyn quite a
scare. Meyers walked and was on first
with two out when Devore smashed =
ilong two-bagger into left. This sent the
Chief to third. but Doyle was the victim
OF a beautiful play by Daubert that re-
tired the side.
After two were ont for Brooklyn
Tooley singled and Phelps walked. Nor
then went In to bat for knetzer but
fled a high fly to Becker.
1t was another blank for the Giants In
the third. Snodgrass got free walk
and went to second on Murray's inheld
out. But when he tried to steal third
Phelp. made a clean throw and nailed
him. Becker also walked and stole sec.
ond. but Groh Med to Wheat. BarRer
pitched this Inning for Brooklyn, having
relieved Knetzcr.

A look over tho records OF past sea-

THE ALEXANDER CASE

In the w. c. Alexander case Gov erncr Donaghey has done what the circumstances seemed to demand should be done by respiting the con- demhed murderer to give further time for investigation of his mental condition.
 On Tuesday a committee of citizens from Pine Bluff waited on Governor Donaghey and presented a petition signed by a. large number of Pine Bluff people, asking that the gover- nor refuse to interfere.
 Feeling against Alexander, espec- ially among friends of the murdered man, is only natural. But the ques- ticn whether Alexander should be hanged is now purely medical question, and a medical question is obviously not to be settled or in- fluenced by petitions. It is ques- tion to be settled on the findings of alienists, physicians who are experts on insanity.-Little Rock Gazette.

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE IS GIVEN BIG OVATION WHEN HE IN.

Shook Hands With 5,O0O People and Makes Back Platform
 Talks.

Sea Girt, N. J., Aug. Ex-Governor Wilson made whirlwind invasion of Pennsylvania today, delivered five stirring speeches instead of one as had been planned, shook hands with more than 5000 people and was ac- corded an ovation that was almost continuous from the time he left Philadelphia at o'clock until he crossed the state line into New Jer- sey at sundown, after having covered about 500 miles.
 Despite his announced determina- tlon not to make any back platform speeches in this campaign the gover- nor was practically forced to speak from the platform of his car at Lan- caster, the first stop after leaving Philadelphia. The big speech of the da. was made at Williams Grove where the Pennsylvania state fair is being held. It was delivered to about 5,000 people in the auditorium

other explosives, the poisonous and dangerous parlor match, accumula- tions of rubbish, congested conditions of buildings and lack of easy en- trance and exit. In a word, through the building the fire departments we have the direct avenues of elimina-. tion, if we are to take the experience of foreign countries as our eXem- plars.'
 The difficulty which presents itself immediately when this plan is con- sidered is in arranging the schedule of the firemen in such manner, that they will be at their posts when needed.
 That the plan has succeeded in Cincinnati, is, of course, in it's favor. But the fact remains that there is a great mass of detail which must be worked out before it can be put into successful operation in any city. It is only in the experimental stages yet in the Ohio municipality and un- til it has had severe test the state- ment that it is a success cannot be wholly accepted.

MANY OUTRACES ALONG THE BORDER General Stsever Calls On Department For More
 Troops and They
 Will Move. MAY KILL AMERICANS Troops Are Being Rushed To Their Defense But May Arrive
 To Late to Aid.
MAY KILL AMERICANS

Washington, Aug. 29.-Conditions in the Northwestern section of Chihuahua and in Sonora, Mexico, are hourly growing worse, according to dis patches to the War Department from general Steever at Fl Paso, Texas, tonight. It is thought likely that the American commander will request more troops to handle the situation along the international line in which case General Wood, chief of staff. will order either the Thirteenth cavalry from Fort Leavenworth, Kas., or the Ninth cavalry from Cheyenne, Wyo, to guard the western portion of the boundary.
 Frank Curtis and Arthur Cunning nam, two American ranchers who killed three rebels in self defense, are reported to have been surrounded by the insurrectos and to be in danger of their Lives. Federal troops are being rushed to the rescue but it is feared that they cannot arrive in time to save the Americans.
 Reports from Sonora indicate that the rebels are breaking up into small bands, which are raiding ranches, out raging women and stealing horses practically with immunity, the feder- al forces being powerless to operate in the mountainous country.
 American consul officers in all the disturbed portion of Mexico are be- coming exasperated and worried at their inability to secure any redress for complaints made by Americans. A general breaking down of the forces of civil government prevails and through the indifference and incom- potency of minor Mexican officials the consular agents without anything to back them except moral suasion are practically helpless in securing action.
