BASE-BALL. an Unanimously Rainy Day Post- poned All League Games Yesterday. _ Buffalo and Chicago a Tie for First Place in the Championship Race. Indications that the Increased Pitcher’s Range Has Upset Many Nice Calculations. Numerous Contests Yesterday Between Wines from Business Houses—Ball Gossip Generally. THE CHAMPIONSHIP, By a curiouscoincidence of weather yester- day was a dics non in the League schedule, all the games being prevented by rain. It rained at Worcester, at Boston, at Provi dence, and at Troy, and the four games have to be played Monday if possible. The week closes with the aspect of the champion- ship contest greatly changed. By losing three out of six games played Chicago forfeited its strong lead, and is now atie with Buffalo for tirst place. ‘The Buffalo team has done the steadiest work, having won five of 4tssix Eastern games, beating Providence twice and Boston three times xt. in point of success comes the Detroit Club, which has won four out of six, losing one at Troy and one’ at Worcester. Detroit has by strong play come abreast with Worcester and Cleveland, being a tie with those clubs for third place, while Providence comes next with eleven games won, Boston with nine, and Troy with eight. The poor suc- cess of the Chicago team has surprised moved he should refuse to play, but put in a request that the animal be located some- where else, and that the doors of the club-house be closed, to which Mr. Hulbert replied: © There’s nothing in the rules about dogs or doors, but if it will gratity you any the dog shall be put. inside and the doors shut.” Burdock looked as if he expected more opposition to his silly claim, and acted as if he wished he hadn't said anything about doors and dogs. . FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. The Present Condition of the Local Market—Prices and Probabilities. The most important arrival at the fruit market for the week was a green-coated gentlemen. beloved alike by the undertaker and the rising generation. Jlis ravages are not less serious than those accomplished by the early cucumber, and when he is fairly in the market and salable at prices which place him comfortably within the reach ot the young. the mortuary statistician’s cholera column runs into treble figures and remains thus until the fruit blushes with wholesome ripeness in the later. summer months and fall, ‘Chis depopulator of the growing geu- eration is, of course, THE GY APPLE, afew of which arrived during the week from *Yennessee,—hard, sour, pale-green spheres of indigestibie and almost juiceless fibre, ex- cellent when cooked, but, when preverted from the pie or pudding, unpalatable and dangerous in the extreme. The supply wits sinall and the demand light, salesbeing made atfrom 50to 7 cents per box containing one-third of a bushel. ‘The early apple will notcut much figure in the market for a couple of weeks yet. . “Lhe strawberry is coming from the same fruit centres as last week, but its Northern range has widened considerably, and the berry ipening at points all around this . Inthe West and Northwest, as far west as most distant Iowa, and northwest as Minneapolis, Minn., the bome supply is istying local demands, and the consequent IN up of a large purchasing area to the Chicago market would have the effect of ‘lowering prices here if the prospect of 2 fuller crop trom Michigan was inore favorable. ‘The prospect. is, how- ever, that the supply from that State’ will, be ork | Stualler than usttal, the dry weather having people hereabouts. Much better work | tinned the crop considerably. ‘The Muske- was expected of the = champions | guy crop, which always consists of very line both at the bat and in the field.

It is getting Ai awenty: Mae Ee * re) 01 2 ii r five y pint crates, whi sell to be very evident that the addition of, five 50, and of fair fruit trom Tennessee, whic feet to the pitcher's range has deranged cal- culations very much, both as to the effective ness of the pitchers and the success of the tatters; but it reinainsto be seen whether the Chicago heavy hitters will not “catch on” before long aud win more games with the stick.’ They have six more chances on the present Eastern trip, three with Boston, against whom they have been uniformly suc- cessful thus for this year, and three with Providence, whom th ould easily have beaten three straight. This week the Chi- casos play in Providence, and the Butfalos in Worcester, and the probabilities are that the position of aifairs will have changed by next Saturday night. The standing of the differ- ent clubs is now as follows: 4 GOSSIP OF THE GAME, Providence hasn’t whitewashed a club this season. The H..A. Kohn & Bros. beat the Cahn, ‘Wampold & Co. 13 to 9. A nine from Lindauer Bros. & Co. beat the Hart Bros. team 15 to 11. Work, Wachsmuth & Co. defeated O. R- Keith & Co., 11 to 10,—that is,in a game of ball. 5 The Bernard, Lyman & Co. team beat the Franklin, MacVeagh & Co. 5to2in seven innings. Billy McLean, who swore he would ne’er consent, has consented to’ umpire games in Philadelphia. Ina game yesterday between teams from Donohue & Henneberry and A. J.Cox & Co., the latter were beaten 25 to 17. The nines from Barnum Bros. and Jansen & McClurg played a game yesterday, the former winning by a score of 16 to 15. As predicted in this column, Whitney’s terrific pace has banged up Snyder, and Deasley has had to do the catching for the Bostons of late. Barnes has been playing short-stop in Bos- ton, instead of Georse Wright, which is an evidence that somebody connected: with the Boston management has sense enough to put the right man in the right place. .It is said that early in the season one of the heavy stockholders of the Providence wagered $100 that Providence would win the championship this year. Det a nickel he would give the other fellow about $90 to call ita draw. The upholstery and the dress-goods fellows from the house of Marshall td & Co. had a’ game yesterday. The raw-silk chaps, cap- tained by Sam Pashley, beat the alpaca out- fit, steered by Frank Naylor, 13 to 22, with one-third of an inning to spare. The Bostons state that Goldsmith made as many as eight bal! ‘inst them, only one of whi ‘umpire, even after his attention was repeat- edly called to that fact. The Bostons are a set of rank kickers. who make the silliest of claims and complaints, and once ina great while get away with -one through the igno- rance or induigence of an umpire. Dorgan, Captain of the Worcesters, will voluntarily Jay off from the playing nine for a short time or until his arm gets strong enough to enable him to throw a balla the diamond. He has been troubled with a Tame shoulder ever since the seasen opened, and the cold weather in April did not help the watter. Continued exertion has only tended to weaken hit, and he thinks the in- terests of the nine will be best subserved if he takes needed rest. An exchange thus describes the delivery of Galvin, of the Buffalos: “Ie turns the ball around in his hand six times, mops his fore- head with his right hand. pulls a kink out of the seat of his pants. pulls out his handker- chief and wipes his eyes, turns to the second- baseman and asks what o’cloek it is, lays the ball between his feet, pats both hands in the dust, wipes the dust off on his trousers, licks the ends of his fingers, pitches the ball over ; His lets stioulden, abe ps aullitle biote dust vi is palms, tells the ys to k ou nnd pitches the ball? oe -An incident occurred at Chicago on the oc- casion of the Bostons’ recent visit, wherein Burdock proved a biggeriman than President Malbert. Jt appears that Mr. Hulbert has an oflice in the left-field corner of the Chicago base-ball ground, and he is also the possessor of ahuge dog, which, for some reason, he stationsat said office, outside and unchained. in one of the Worcester games, Burns knocked the ball down toleft field, and Dick- erson went for it, but was brought tua stand- still by the appearance of the dog before him, with his mouth open, and emitting the fierc- est of zro! ickerson viewed the animal, aad, not caring to lose an important part of his uniform pants, he coneluded it was not best to try for the sphere. ‘The dog guarded the ball till Burns had made a fisme run. fhe Bcstons were informed of this faci. and so, when they arrived on the unds, Burdock ‘went to reconnoi ering. Sure enough, the dog was there doing duty. Burdock marched up to Mr. iulbert, ina manner that is perfectly familiar to Bostonians, and demanded that that dog be locked up, or taken off the field. Mr. Hulbert replied that he knew of no rule that forbade a dog being on the grounds. He was informed by the earnest” “bean- eater,” as Mr. Hulbert delights to call the Bostens, that, unless the dog was removed, he (Burdock) would not commence to play, Result—Mr. President yielded, the dog w: removed, and the gaine proceeded.—Boston Herald. Like all Boston attempts to state facts, this ‘story Is false in almost every essential particular. The dog did not im- pede Dickerson in the least—did not even wake up from his doze; Burdock did not pétify Hulbert that unless the dog were re- is] ly northward, and supplies nde Sell at $2.25. Very shortly this lu wiil be a good deal cheaper; possibly by the end of this week the twenty-four-pint crates will be selling at $1. . Cobden, Ht, has also sent along during the week an excellent supply of black raspber- ries, which have sold at $4 for the twenty- four-quart crate,—a very reasunable price for the first fruit of the season. ‘This favorit berry bas a wide range, the later berries coming from as far north as St. Joe, Mich., Milwaukee, and even more northerly points ii ‘The great black-raspberry country is that — surroundin Cincinnati, which spot is the most extensive home- grown fruit distriet in the land. i cinnati black raspberries will begin to arrive y shortl, possibly by the middle of the week, when lower prices will b Cherries are not as plentiful th as usual. The home crop, which is a par failure and will not amount to more than one-third of the supply, will not be ripe be fore July 4, and even then prices, which now rule at 37 a stand of two bushels, will not be greatly lowered. + Amongst tastes which the American peo- ple are acquiring is one for GUOSEBERRIES. This isa fruit which the English are much attached to, and their sedulous cultivation of it through sueceeding generations has re- sulted in the production of several varieties of it whose berries are as large as the biz Ohio hickory-nuts. Some years ago the local demand for gooseberries was of very trifling accuunt, but at present their popularity i: large and increasing, and when the Ameri- ean fruit-grower has succeeded in producing a gooseberry Which shall be as superior to its English cousin Iroquois to the field that lagged behind him, this highly- palatable berry will tind a front place in the if ud among the dessert fruits of ty sl ble dinner tables. year” crop of goosebeities is a very good one, and they are finding a ready sale at $2 a bu: Plums continued to arrive from Mi: durizg the week, and sold at 32 per twenty-four quarts. ‘They .will very shortly eeded by the Tennessee crop. ‘The lirst arrivals of peaches occurred on £ when a consignment of Troth’s early variety arrived trom 2 sas. The fruit were in very good condition, of mediuin size, and in very beautiful bloom. They sold at about $2 forthe bushel box. Ina few days veache: Il begin to arrive from Tennessee, where, it is reported, a very tne crop is on the point of ripening for market. THE SVPPLY OF VEGETABLES during the werk was very fi Tomatoes arrived frem “sew Orleans and Mississippi, and sold at ‘-o1 $1 to 52 for a box of one- third of a bushel, according to condition. The toval hot-beds been supplying the market with cucumbers, the main sou: of which however has continued to remain at New Orleans: They sold during the week at from 15 to 20 cents a dozen, but prices will rise as soon as the New Orleans supply is exhausted and the home supply has to be relied on. St. Louis and Cairo have been _drawn on during the week for the supply of cabbages, which have. sold at $4.50 for a large crate containing fifty heads, and 31,50 to $2 for a small crate containing twenty-four heads. As soon as the supply comes trom more north- erly points,—and it is expected that the to cabbage will be ready to cut in a week,—this favorite vegetable will become considerably cheaper. The sameremark applies to pears, which at present are mainly arriving from Muscatine and from Cincinnati, which supplies the Muscatine variety, both of which have soll during the week at from $1,50'to $2 a bushel. ‘The southern partof the State has been sending the necessary supply of string: Si which have si aut $1 to $1.25 per bushel box for green and 32 for w ew potatoes have been arriving in half- bushel 5, Which have found ready sale at $2.50. Large quantities are expected from Nashville, Tenn., during the present prec when prices will rule considerably lower. ee THE NEWSBOYS’ HOME. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Citcaco,.June 10.—An article nppeared in your paper lust week signed “ Pedestrian,” mak- ing strong complaints against certain newsboys from the Newsboys’ Home, who annoy people on the streets and follow them into storcs begging them to buy “some kind of a paper,” and com- plaining that tney have not bad anything to eat. 1 bave no desire to defend the newsboys who pursue such x course. lum sorry to learn that any boys from the Home should give cause for the complaint that they make theaiselves a pub- lic “nuisance.” But i would ask our citizens to give a kind and patient bearing to the cause of tho newsbo; in vindication of the Home 1 would say ‘that “most liberal provision is made for the comfort of the boys. They all have enough good, plain food to eat. One of the kindest und most beuevolent women of our city—a member of the Board of Directors— makes the purehuses of provisions, and keeps the pantry liberally supplied. And the boys are looked after with a motherly interest by Taitn- ful women, who huve for their co-workers some of the best business-men in Chicagu, who hive given liberally, not only of their time, but their money, to nuke the Newsboys’ Honie one of the most useful institutions ot Chicago. We are trying to rouse u maniy spirit in the minds of the boys under our charge. We en- courage them to be uetive and enterprising in selling their papers, but we also counsel them to be polite, that their good conduct may gain for the triends. If any of our boys whine or tell a pititul story rebuke them. There is not one of them who would not count it a rent privation to be turned away from the Home. We shall use all our-influence to prevent the boys from annoying citizens inselling the Appeal, and hope to beur a better report about them. But we would say to our citizens that the monthly <Appeat is edited by some of our gvod women for the special benetit of the newsboys tu enable them to pay for their board snd lodging. And a lady in Scotland, well known to the hterary world, bas very kindly otfered to write a story for the Appeal, the first number of hich will shortly appear. We ask the public to uve patience with the boys, ana to join their efforts with ours to make them better and more manly. Buy the Appeal: drop some goud, kind words into the hearts of these boys. And we cordially invite all who believe that the preven- tion of evilis better than the efforts to cure it to come round to the Newsboys’ Home any Sun- day at 4 to our service, or to our plessant Mon- day evening concerts. through which we try to exert sume healthful bome intiuencec which shall tell on the boys’ characters and lives. A FRIEND OF THE Boys. ORVIS SMOKE-BURNER.. Its Successful Working at the Union National Bank Building. How It Disposed of the Smoke at Libby, McNeill & Libby’s. A reporter of Tut Tripune yesterday in- terviewed several persons who have used the Union smoke-burner, an ingenious device for consuming sinoke, invented by Mr. oO. D. Orvis, of this city, as to what, if anything, had been gained by its use. ‘The chief points to be established in considering the merits of any smoke-consuming aparatus are, first, does the contrivance consume the smoke; second, does it. increase the power of the boilers to which it Is attached; and thirdly, dees it economize fuel? The simplicity or complexity of the device and the ex- pense of applying it, as well asthe mannerin which it acts upon the boilers and grate-bars, are also considerations of impor- tance. ‘The subject is one of much interest to all who dwell in large cities, and is par- ticularly worthy the attention of Chicagoaus. for the reason that an immense amount of bituminous coal is used here. MR. W. C. D. GRANNIS, Vice-President of the Union National Bank, was found at his office and questioned as to the results achieved by the use of the smole- burner in the Union Block, Mr. Grannis is President of the Union Smoke-Consuming Company, which is introducing the new sys- tem,. and he requested the reporter to pass down into the — boiler-room of the building, question the engineer and fire- ian, and examine the appliance for himself. ‘The fireman said that the Orvis burner was attached to the boilers last fall, and that since it was put in there had been no aifli- eulty with regard to smoke. Before that time no fess than five smoke-consumers of different styles Lad been tried, and all had proven failures. He illustrated the manner in whieh the Orvis burner worked ina pra ticable way by firing-up the boilers in the presence of the revorter. A goodly quantity ‘of India bluck coal was thrown into the furnace, the. Orvis attachment being in place, and the reporter watched the result, No smoke came from, the top of the tall chimney, whieh is somg eighty-five or ninety feet in hight. $ ee But when the smoke-burner was discon- nected. and a similar experiment tried, the firing being carefully attended to, and the same kind of coal used, the smoke began to pour from the chimmey ina dense black mass. ‘The attachment was again made, and in an- other minute NO SMOKE WAS TO BE ° The smoke-burner is of the simplest con- struction, and recommends itself upon that ground. It consists of the application of a fine steam-jet into the upper part of the — furnace, in trout. ‘The steam isdrawn from the boiler, and in its passage into the furnace creates a vacuum. Air rushes in, and by its combina- tion with the steam combustion is aided. The pressure of steam can be regulated or cut off altogether by the furn of 2 valve. ‘The fireman said that no attempt had been made there to estimate the saving in fuel re- sulting from the use of the smokeburner, but he believed it was considera The supply of steam required was so irregular that it would be difficult to apply a fair comparative test, and there- fore none had been made. During his seven years’ employment in the building he had witnessed a number of trials of smoke- burners, but none compared with the Orvis, either for consuming the smoke or eeon- omizing coal and the labor of firing, He would not like to see it taken out,for he was sure that more steam could be made with the sae amount of coal with the Orvis at- tachment than could be made without it. ‘The boilers were of the ordinary tubular pat- tern, and three steam-jets were attached to each. . ‘The engineer of the building joined with his assistant in PRAISING THE ORVIS ATTACHMENT. He said they had torun the boilers for all they were worth, having to run the elevators, the feed-pump for the boiler, to pump wl the ter for the building, and to ‘supply steam n adjoining restaurant, as well as to } pair for use in the pneumatic tubes used by the Western Union ‘Telegraph Company: ht. It was therefore neces- to keep everything in the best possible condition, and the Orvis burner aided mit iy to this end. During the severe weather of the past winter it had helped them considerably in making steam. Me could not give any — definit facts “about the -economy “of — fuel, although satisfied that there had been a sav- i Another great recommendation of the is system was that it, entail Wear and tear upon the boilers or grate-bars. le had tried many devices for consuming smoke, none of which gave anything like the satisfaction attained with this arrangement, ‘The Orvis smoke-consumer was the simolest, cheapest, and most satisfactory thing of the kind he had ever seen. Mi. LIBBY, OF THE FIRM OF LIBBY, ’NEILL & LIBBY, meat-packers on State street, said that_his estiblishment had made a thorough test of the Or ‘ ly satistied with it. sion of the actual figures showing the econo- my of fuel, but had understood from one of his partners, who had taken charge of the experiments made, that it was from 15 to 20 per cent in favor of the Orvis patent. The improvement was first tried by this firm a year ago, and in October t was applied to five more _boil- ¢ in the State street packing-hous Before that time the firm had been constant- by the smoke, which amounted e nuisance. T! ehbors and persons passi s plained, and wi volume of thick black sinoke poured forth from their chimneys. They tried every pliance which seemed to afford any promise of giving sati: y results, bat fo no end until they put in the Orvis attachment. Since this was done there had been no complaints of smoke, the boilers made steam more read- ily, and COAL HAD BEEN ECONOMIZED, as stated. The fuel used was Pittsburg coal, costing about 34.40 per ton, and, as the firm uses some twenty-five tons per day at its three establishments, the saving by the use of the Orvis burner is an important item. The cost of applying the smoke-consumer was trifling in comparison, not being more than $100 to $125 for each boiler, ‘Ihe sys- tem was simple, not liable to get out of order, readily comprehended by any engineer or fireman, and achieved great practical results. Furthermore, it did not damage the boilers ile with some of the ‘con- or furnaces, whil trivances formerly tried the boilers had been almost ruined. Mr. Libby said he.was fully satistied of the merits of the Orvis device, and understood that other large manufaetur- ing establishments were about to adopt it. Irwas the best arrangement for consuming smoke he had yet tried, and it worked per- fectly so far as lis experience went. Mr. MeNeill, of this firm, is Vice-President of the Smoke-Burner Company. << The Imprisoned Grand Duke.

An Event of Great Interest at the Cin- cinnati Zoo-Zoo—Lhe Difliculty of Breeding Sea-Lions—Mother and Baby Doing Well—A Guy Lothario of an Enu. Cincinnati Gazette. Yesterday morning at twenty minutes past So’clock another interesting acquisition was made to the large list of animals now in the garden, furnishing also additional facts of a peculiar and interestmg nature to the scientific world-namely: the birth of a sea-lion, the third one ever born ina fresh water carnivora, In the year 18i7a pair of sea lions from Southern California, known as the zalophus Californianus, were brought to the Zoo., and given in charge of Prof. ‘Thompson. Some little trouble was expe- rienced at first In accustoming them to the fresh water of their new abode, reared as they were in the salt waters of the Pacific, but, through the care and assiduity of their keeper, they finally not only became recon- ciled to the change, but brought forth young, —the first calf being born in 1878, The mother, however, Was in the last stages of tubereu- losis, and died several days after her confine ment, the calf surviving her but a week. An- other cow was then obtained, and the Pro-. fessor succeeded again in inducing them to bring forth young. ‘The second cult was born in captivity, making its appearance -In the fall of 1880. But again were the man- agers of the garden doomed to disappoint- ment, the cow dying of ulceration of the ova- ries in about a fortnight after the birth, de- spite all efforts tosave her, A third cow was then brought to the aquarium, and, as abo stated, she brought forth yesterday, at the hour named, the third and last seal-calf ever porn in a fresh-water aquarium, and at last accounts both mother and ¢ were doing well, thanks to Prof. Thompson. Floundering about upon the rocly floor, and bleating like a young goat, was this newly-arrived though somewhat diminutive specimen of a sea lion. He was about as Jarge asa recently-whelped Newfoundland pup, and elung as closely to his mother’s side as a country boy upon his first visit to a vil- Jage tair. = How soon will the youngster take to the vater?” asked the scrive. Strange to say,” answered the Proft “the young of the sca Sion. cannot sv Tuis little fellow, sir, if thrown into the lake, would sink to the botiom like a pound- weight. Is will be fully three weeks, or probably a month, before the mother will venture to take the youngster into the water, Then he will take his first lesson. When 1 was in charge of the Zuo at Philadelphia, a cow and calf were shipped overland to that place, and both progressed nicely until the winter eame on, when the little fellow, turough the carelesness of the keeper, was permitted to plunge into the breatling-hole cut in the ice of the lake, and having but re- cently learned to swim, was caught under the icy cover and drowned before help could be procured.” ae “What does the old gentleman swhnming there in the tank think of his newly-arrived heir?” queried the man in search of news “Oh, he is pertectly ind the matter,” laughingly replied the Lro- fessor. “ Ie is entirely unlike the males of our cat animals who devour their young un- less immediately removed from their prox- imity. ‘This fellow is we most inditferent of fathers.” . “Is it proper to speak of this ‘as a marine earnivora 2"? © Certainly,” answered Mr. Thompson. “There is but one known specimen of sei the sea elephant found near the Cape Good Hove, that feeds upon herbage. Carniv- ora is the proper word.” A large Australian emu, paddling about ina rectangular mud- hole, was nest held upto view, and: after hearing his history in brief the reporter de- bated With himself at considerable length as to whether so seandatous a story ought to appear in the columns of a well-regulated family newspaper, It seems thata female of the emu family had determined upon housekeeping, and had built herself a neat and tidy nest away over in one corner of her pen, and faid therein several eggs, closely approximating both in size and color, young watermelons. ‘The Directors of the Zoo finally determined that it was not best that this patient and enduring female be left thus alone to wrestle with a cumbersome clutch of eggs and a prospe ive family of little emus, so an order was forthwith sent to Culogne, and * downey cove” above alluded to was | immediately sent to this country, ha ing reviousl: expressed a De fect to abandon hi of single blessedness, and go whack this love-lorn lady, who had already em- barked in the housekeeping line upon her own hook. The two met, and everything was lovely until a female ostrich ina neigh- boring lot caught the eyes of the gay Lothario, and he whispered honeyed words through the wires of his inclosure into her but too willing ears, his dist plate wife being left On in the meanwhile to warn the eggs upon the cold, cold ground, and look atter the other housekeeping arrangements all by herself. Her patience becoming ex hausted at last at the billing and cooing of her faithles: use With this giddy speci- men of a dusting-brush, she attempted to mildly remind him of his duties as a hus- band and a prospective father, when he flew into a passion, broke up the nest, trampled the eggs under foot, and, falling upot his inall the rage of his furious. passivn, within an ace of having murdered her jes interfered and placed nee_vile in the mudhole above alluded to.“ You can’t bet on emus,” said Mr. Thompson, “They are not reliavle birds, especially as husbands and fathers.” ne, e was when the him in dw AUCTION SALES, AUCTION SALE ock Property’! ‘On Monday, the %th day of June, 1881, at two o'clock.
