 Dutch Longmore's arm was in suCli poor shape that the Universals we're forced to call upon Eddie Goeb to do their hurling. Eddie turned in fine performance but tired in the eighth and yielded five hits which coupled with some poor fielding by his mates, allowed the Rulers to take the game.
 Until the fatal eighth Eddie had yielded only six hits. all of these coming in the first three innings. These blows were so well punched. however, that the Rulers had piled up three runs on them and 1t was due only to some fine fielding by the Landers team that they did not score more often.
 l Spencer was in his usual fine form and except for lapses in the fourth and fifth innings, when the Univer- | sals did all of the scoring, he had | the Landers crew completely sub dued.
 1 The winners, after threatening to count in the first two frames, broke | into the scoring column in the third when they pushed thr runs over the plate. Jervis opened by drawing a pass and moved to second on Dar- rows single. After Wendroski had flied out, Jack Argosy shot a vicious drive to left. Charlow came in fast to field the ball but it took a freak hop over his head and went for a two bagger, Jervis scoring and Dar- row reaching third. Mickey Noonon pounded out clean single and Oar row and Argosy dented the rubber
 The Cniversals got one of these back in the fourth. With one out grounder to Darrow who tossed to Wendroski forcing Goeb. Wendroski heaved wildly to first in attempting a double play and Vincent took second. E. Preisser followed with single which scored Vincent.
 Landers tied the count in the fifth when Longmore reached first on Partykas' error and Ostertag clout- 1 ed home run to left
 From this point until the eighth there was no more scoring but in the next to the last from the winners sewed up the game.
 With one out Noonan doubled to right center. He moved up d base and Schaefer was safe at first when Longmore let the latter's grounder go through him. Partyka singled to score Noonan, sending Schaefer to third.
 Gill sent a roller to Longmore who made another error allowing Schaefer to score. Partyka took third on this play, after having stole second but Gill was nailed at second when he tried to advance on Char lows throw to the plate.
 Spencer singled to score Partyka Jervis beat out a hit to Longmore and both he and Spencer scored when Darrow hit his second double of 2 day.
 In the ninth Joe Fitzpatrick singled for the losers with one out but was left stra.ded. Joe pitched the last inning for the Universals and retired the losers in order.
 The game was marked by some sharp fielding by the Universals who pulled Goeb out of many bad holes. Darrow and Noonan with three hits apiece in five trips 10 the plate. fea- tured. Charlow made d great running

The Sokols baseball team will row night from s to o'clock at the Washington Park diamond. Fol lowing the workout, there will be an important meeting at S:3O o'clock at the. Sokol club rooms.
 Bob Dunbar, sport columnist in the Boston Herald. has seen Bliss Clark in action as an oarsman and he likes him. He writes as follows:
 Incidentally, Wray thinks Bill Miller, the new single souls cham pion, will be better with little more experience in which to polish of few of the rough spots. But he says he has a young man at Cor nell, Bliss Clark. who will be q champion some day. Clark is feet, inches tall weighs 205 pounds and knows how to row.
 In the sports column of morn ing newspaper the writer takes oc- cas!on to predict that Eastern league baseball will be back in Hartford in 1881. He quotes the Eastern league president as saying that Hartford is the peer of any city in New Eng land as baseball town" He says that the three best cities in Eastern league history are Hartford, Albany and Springfield.
 That sounds like a lot of apple sauce to us. We certainly do not hope that Hartford will be left out in the cold as far as the Eastern league is concerned and we would be as glad as any to see the game return to the Capital City. But as far as Hartford being the peer of all New England in baseball returns, we say Repeat, we didn't hear you the first time"
 If Hartford couldn't support East ern league baseball this year, and we feel that the industrial depres- sion hasn't hit the insurance com- panes anywhere near as hard as it has hit other places, then. we don't see how it can support a team next year. We may be wrong and We hope we are.
 There were at least $500 people out at Walnut Hill park last night to see the r. & F. Corbin team in the Industrial league get defeated by the Fafnir crew. This makes us more and more convinced that league baseball of the class of which we wrote recently, would be paying proposition in this city.
 Adding together the crowds that attended both the games at the park last night, there must have been close to 5000 people enjoying the two battles. This gives recreation and enjoyment to numbers of peo- pie who would have nothing else to do on these sultry and hot days.
 We have heard it predicted that the Industrial league was on the wane. The attendance at the games at the park fail to bear out this comment. especially in view of the fact that the league race is tighter than ever The Corbn team is just a step ahead of the Stanley Rule combination. Another loss for Cor bins provided the Rulers keep on winning, will make a serious situ- ation for the present league leaders.

given a liberal Interpretation by the

dav or tomorrow in the order laid
down by three prominent drvs on a
judiciary subcommittee in the ease
of Jacob Walter, Connecticut mar
shal, who answered "yes' and
"no, to questions about whether he
drank.
The three dry judges, Senator

plans for opening of the big battle
on the floor Thursday over the first
of the Wickersham reform bills-th(

the prohibition enforcement bureau
excepting the industrial alcohol unit
from the treasury to the justice de
partment.
A vote is expected Friday or Sat
urday. The only sizeable fight IL
prospect is that concerning division
of authority between the secretar.
of the treasury and the attorne,
general over alcohol permits.
The house wet bloc will meet to
day to arrange for the hearings ol
modification proposals which begin
next week before the judiciary com
mittee. They expect to get behin'
the Dyer 2.75 pr cnt beer bill ant
the SABBATH measure providing for
dispensary system, with each stat
, left to determine whether it will b
wet or dry.
Meanwhile the senate is ploddini
along with the tariff bill. TIL
