B0stons Defeat the Athletics.


Yesterday afternoon the Boston and Athletic
Clubs played the ninth game OF the tournament on
the Union Grounds, Williamsburg. There was quite
large attendance, although 1t was not very
pleasant day to remain standing In the open air
for hours. The field was cleared promptly on time
and the boys went to work with Will. The game
was quite well contested there being tie at the
end Of the seventh inning. each club having scored
SIX runs. From this to the end there
was the greatest interest manifested and
at times much excitement among the spectators.
The BOstOns had the call in the betting, sell.
ing in the pools for more than two to one before
game was called, though why such odds were given
could not be easily explained. The umpire was
very impartial In his rulings yet on several 0cca-
SONS he was too lenient with the pitchers This is
the third game OF the series between the B0stOns
and Athletics for the frst prize Of 1900, and to
one Of them II must be awarded. To-day again they
play on the Union Grounds, which is the last game
OF the tournament; after which the distribution Of
prizes will take place. The following Is a summary

that hearty welcome was not given to the representative of the commits sion that, as I happen to know, he was most cordially received, and was officially invited by the Governor of Territory to confer with him and other citizens. But he said his busi- ness was with the Indians, not with the whites. He did not pursue such policy as was likely to conciliate the people whom 1t should have been, I think, his highest ambition to con- ciliate. The remarks of the gentle man from California, who is as highly esteemed among our people as any man can be anywhere, will, I think, go far to show them it was intended that the policy should be properly carried out, whether 1t was in fact or not.

SUITS MADE at Waggener's, S173 Main
Year: 1872

From the San Francisco Chronicle
of the 2lst ult we Gull the following
concerning the late blockade cn the
overland railroad


For twenty six days have the
people of San Francisco been without
mail facilities, aud passengers have
been delayed, owing to the blockade on
the Union Pacific Railroad, and during
TIE whole of that time it does not seem
that the Company realized the emcr-
gcncy, for at no time were adequate
measures taken to open the road. Pas
sengers who have just arrived agree in
saying that at no point we're there a
sufficient number of men employed, and
some never saw snow plow upon the
road, and others charge a lamentable
deficiency in rolling stock, and a scar
city of engines. 1t is freely stated that
the detention was purposely allowed to
continue, when the cause could have
been removed, in order to affect some
stock operations in which the New
York and Boston owners are ut vari-
ance How that is we do not know
but this Is certain, we have suffered,
and are likely to continue to suffer
from the blockade, when we have a
right to expect on open road and
whether it was by negligence or de-
sign, we have good reason to complain
At all events the Government should
make some arrangements by which the
mails could be put through. 1t is said
that this was not done, because it would
be an admission that the road was not
passable. In the face of such deten.
ton, such a reason is only ridiculous
The Central Pacific Company deserve
great credit for the manner in which
they forwarded the delayed passengers
and mails when the opportunity was
offered them. They spared neither
trouble nor expense in their part of the
work, and if the Union Pacific had
shown one half the energy, the block
ade would now have been ended
instead of lasting, as it probably will
for some time longer.
