Boston, Aug. 28.--Walter Johnson s second attempt of the present season to set up a new pitchers record for successive victories failed today when Boston won an eleven inning contest from Washington, 1 to 0. For ten innings Johnson had disposed of Bos- ton batsmen in a procession that was monotonouS, except for the interest which his performance developed. Only in the second inning, was the one two-three order of Boston's going out interrupted, this by Yerkes hit over short, until the eleventh inning. Then Yerkes slammed the second hit off Johnson into centerfeld; Milan fum- bled. Moeller got in the way of his recovery and YerISes was safe on third. Wagner's infieEd hit resulted in Yerkes being put out on the way to home, but not until Wagner had reached sec- ond. Manager Carrigan was at bat Johnson had sped over three balls, for a count of two strikes, one ball, when Carrigan met the fourth squarely for a clean hit between the left and center fielders and Wagner raced hin1e. Wal ter Johnson's thinning streak had been stopped.
 Up to today the leagues leading pitcher had twirled Washington to fourteen victories without defeat, be- ginning on June 27s when Washington shut out Philadelphia, to 0. This for this season. but is two games short of the mark set last season by Johnson and Wood the latter of Boston
 Todays game was a remarkable ex- htbition of JohnSon'S pitching skill In the eleven innings only 35 men faced him and but four of these reach ed base Only one man got to first base in the first nine innings Ten Boston batsmen struck out and John son. working like 8 machine. did not allow g. base on balls.

runner was out Each inning was counted separately, the best two out of three winning the game There were no such things as gloves, masks or pads in those days, and many fine players were retired with broken hands. If a base runner was in- jured while making the circuit he could be tagged out, unless he was on base, for no one was allowed to run for him. A case of that kind was what nearly cost the Hamilton Un- knoWns the championship. A player named La Rue came to bat in the last game of the series, in which the Un- knowns and the Buffalo Reds had each taken one inning. La Rue was a poor batsman, and the crowd began to leave the field as he came up. as it was late and they believed the Reds had the game won, having scored six runs in their half. The Unknowns had scored three when La Rue came to baA. But, as luck would have 1t, La Rue hit the ball a terrible wallop that sent it over the fence into the weeds. As he round ed first base he slipped and sprained his ankle. A doctor hurried to him and set the foot again, and La Rue limped
 around as fast as he could, getting home by a hairs breadth. The Reds

FIRST WORLDS SERIES. Cohbier of Kansas City Relates Games
 of 1865,

The first baseball series for the worlds championship was played in Detroit in 1865, and James ~Conaty, now a cobbler in Kansas City, was the hero of the occasion, pitching and winning seven straight games in one week. Conaty, now old and bent with his weight of 77 years. told in his little shop the other day the story of his great record, which. however, failed to win the pennant for Detroit, Hamil- ton, Ont, took the pennant and the worlds championship. Conaty, then a rollfeking young Irishman, Just home from the war. joined the Detroit White baseball fever ran high in Detroit, and during the summer Il committee of business men arranged for 8 big base ball tournament, the first worlds se- ries, to be held in the early fall. Two teams were entered from Detroit and one each from Chicago, Pittsburg, Buffalo. Toronto, Quebec, Montreal, lyn, Philadelphia, Hamilton, Ontario, and Cleveland.
 The series began the morning of September 5, 1865, the White Stockings opening with the Brool1Iyns, Conaty said Because of the great number of teams entered the games were only three innings long. The rules were vastly d1n6rehT. then, too. we W0H1 to 0, and I pitched and won the next six games straight. I don't remember what teams came up in order.

Improvement of Mexican Situation
 Causes a Builish Day.

New York, Aug. 2s-WalI street reached the conclusion today that this country's relations with Mexico had improved sufficiently to justify a more confidAnt position in the stock mar ket With characteristic eagerness to anticipate as far in advance as pos sible a. solution of the Mexican prob lem and with characteristic readiness to jump at conclusions, speculators bought stocks on @ scale that pro- duced a broad and active market. Pro- gress upward was uninterrupted from the opening of the market to the close and material gains were scored in all departments. Bull traders who had sold their stocks in fear of serious complications, took on new lines Shorts turned about and closed out their contracts. Although it was real ized that no definite developments had occurred, sentiment for the day, at least, was decidedly bulliSh-
 Standard dividend paying shares led in the advance, with the Hartman stocks and the coppers conspicuous. The coppers were helped by the strong technical position of the metal mar ket. and reports of higher prices here and abroad. The price of standard warrants in London has reached the highest figure of several months and some domestic producers were said to be holding out for sixteen cents.
 With such a bull market on their hands spectators were oblfvfous to unfavorable news. Southern Pacific did not weaken with the appearance of its July statement. showing a decrease in net earnings of sTs6,000. Reading was well in the front, despite rumors of a new government suit.
