Phenomenon Which Occurred in the
Autumn of 1888 Has Never Been
Satisfactorily Explained.

Red sunsets made the autumn of
1883 memorable. They occurred in
every part of the globe, but especially
in the Indian ocean and the Southern
Pacific ocean. Shsrtly after sunset Il
vivid red glow suffused the entire west
ern sky, remaining for upward of an
hour, when it would slowly fade away.
This strange sight was first noticed in
India, where it is said that the sun as
sumed a greenish tinge on nearing the
horizon. In the latitudes of North
America these red sunsets were of al
most nightly occurrence for several
months. In striving to account for
these manifestations, number of So
lutions were offered, but the theory
that met with the greatest acceptance
was that the red sunsets were caused
by volcanic dust and gaseous matter
vomited by Krakotoa, in Sunda straits,
between Java and Sumatra islands.
Calculations demonstrated the fact

Russell Awards the
Pennant to Cynthiana

Although Mt. Sterling apparently
won the pennant in the second half Of
the Blue Grass League season, Presi-
dent Russell awarded the plum to
the Cynthiana club, and that club
and the Maysville nine are now play
ing for the so-calIed championship"
Just why President Russell was so
anxious for Cynthiana to win we are
not informed, and as to how they
won he has not yet enlightened the
public. According to the Lexington
Herald of Sunday, the final standing
of the clubs showed Cynthiana had
won rs games and lost II, while Mt.
Sterling was credited with % victor
les and Is defeats On the face OF
these figures, how does he arrive at
the conclusion that Cynthiana won
when they show Mt. Sterling to have
the highest percentage? Then, too,
why does he not explain the discrep-
ancy in the number of games played?
Il is true at the end of the season
Mt. Sterling had two postponed games
with Maysville which were never
played (both of which should be for
feited to Mt. Sterling), but what be-
came of the other two?
We understand only two games
were forfeited to the opposing teams
on account of players not being eligi-
BILE participating. These games were
one in which Bacon pitched in for
Lexington against Mt. Sterling, which
was forfeited to Mt. Sterling, and
the other the one in which Meuler
pitched for Lexington against Gym
thiana, which was forfeited to Gym
thiana. Why was it he would not for
felt the game to us in which Ballou
pitched for Paris after the manager
of the Chattanooga club stated that
he was the property of their club and
was not free agent?
Why is it Mr.. Russell does not give
to the press the final official standing
of the clubs and make some state
ment as to how he arrived at his
conclusions? We feel the public is en-
titled to know all the facts, and the
columns of this newspaper are at his
disposal. Will he not give us some
enlightment?
Mt. Sterling believes in fair play,
whether it be in sports, or otherwise,
and endeavored at all times to allow
only such players to participate in
games as were eligible and, of course,
we expected the other teams to live
up to the same standard or be forced
to forfeit such games in which play.
ers participated who were not free
agents.
The Mt Sterling fans, the manage
ment and the people of this entire
section are all confident that we won
the pennant and we feel they are en-.
titled to some explanation, so we
ask that you, Mr.. Russell, let them
hear what you have to say in regard
to the matter.

snugly in the counting room and call
ing moving van to cart away their

that neither club company will get
enough shekels to pay expenses out
of the series, one of the few times
that it has happened.
And this, although that on each of
the five days that a game was played
the record for daily receipts of previ-
GUS series was broken, each New
York club will receive approximately
$41,2lS-which is generally believed
to be less than it cost either club to
meet its worlds series overhead Last
year each combination received $1OS,.
OPT.
The chief reason is that last year
eight games we're played, in which
the players took the major portion of
four. This year only five games were
played, but only four had a money
value to anyone except disabled vet

The Giants Win
Worlds Series

The New York Giants once more
are champions of the world. Thep
reached that pinnacle of success for
the second consecutive year in a fur
ious uphill rush Sunday afternoon
that flung the Yankees to defeat,
to 3, and crushed a disgusted pitcher,
Bullet Joe Bush.
1t was the second successive time
that the Yanks have bucked the Gil
ants in a worlds series and failed.
This year they went down inglorious-
ly, without the solace of having cap
tured even one of the five games,
that comprised the battle for the
title. The best the Yankees could do
was to tie the second game of the
series. The Giants won the other
four.
In all the annals of the game only
two clubs ever triumphed in a world
series in such a decisive fashion. In
1907 the Chicago Nationals won four
straight victories over the Detroit
Americans after fighting IL innings in
the first game to to tie. Seven
years later the Boston Braves sur
prised the fans of the entire nation
by wrecking Connie Macks superb
Athletics four games in a row.
The final downfall of the Yanks
was that of house momentarily di
vided. Miller Higgins, the head OF
the household which was then enjoy
ing a to 2 lead over the Giants, diff
fered with his pitcher Joe Bush, in
his strategic program for blocking
the onslaught of the champions in the
eighth inning. Bush became angry
and before he could calm himself
Long George Kelly had smacked one
of his curves so hard, and so far, that
one Giant raced across the plate with
the run that tied the Yankees, and an
other Giant trotted in with the score
that beat them.
