INCREASING HER LEAD. Boston Victorious in Two Games Yes- terday. CHANCES FOR TWO GAMES TOMORROW—CAPT. IR- WIN SCOUTING FOR PLAYERS—THE ST. LOUIS- WRooKLYN ROW—NOTES OF THE DIAMOND. The continued rain prevented the base ball work in all bu®two of the cities in the big as- sociations yesterday. Boston and Columbus were the places favored by the absence of moisture, and in the former city there were two games played, both of which were won by Boston from the Infants of Cleveland, to the great relief of the anxious watchers of the pen- nant race at the Hub. The first score was 3 to 2, the Bostons making all the runs belonging to them in the first inning. The fielding was sharp and brilliant, and the batting light. Clarkson and Bennett and Bakeley and Zimmer were the batteries. Boston made 7 hits and 2 errors and Cleveland 7 hits and 0 errors, Brouthers struck out and failed to make hit. Clarkson kept right along during the second game and pitched better than in the first. The score was5 to 0, the Babes being unable to make the circuit once. Ganzel caught Clark- son and O’Brien and Zimmer did the work for Cleveland. The features of this game were the batting of Quinn and the fieldmg of Gilks in center field. Ciarkson was the only man who struck out. Bostén made 6 hits and 0 errors and Cleveland 3 hits and 4 errors. The onlfother game played was at Colum- bus, where the home club knocked out Cincin- nati by the score of 12to 1. The game was called at the end of the seventh inning on ac- count of darkness. These contests caused no change in the I have experienced over that fall has made me very sympathetic with the democrats.” “How was that judge?” “Well, you see, Long John Wentworth and Isaac N. Arnold, who were both democrats forty years ago, came out to McHenry to attend } a democratic convention. I knew them both well, and after a few sociable drinks they invited me to go to the convention with them. When they got me in there they concluded to keep me in the democratic party by electing me chairman, Well, I was not drunk enough to fall into their trap, but I accepted the position as chairman and thanked them for the honor. “I told them that I realized that for some ears I had not been the man I should have een; that I had strayed away from the straight and narrow way, and had been a subject for repentance, but that the future looked brighter and I was ° ‘The battle of North Point was re-fought in Baltimore yesterday in spite of the mud and r Vice President Morton, Gov.

When they stopped cheering I continued: ‘Roll on, oh whee! of fate, and it don’t make a d—d bit of difference which way you turn, for Iam bound to come up, as I am now in the very lowest depths of degradation, having been elected chairman of a democratic convention.’ “This disappointed Long John and Arnold and the boys were ready to pitch me out, but I presided for a while and then left the conven- tion, determined to never again have my re- records of the clubs beyond giving Boston 4/ were there, however, and covered themselves publicanism questioned, I guess I have kept better lead in the league.

When Abe concluded that practicing law would be more to his tastes than splitting rails he borrowed some law books, spent all the money he had saved for a littie batch of groceries and a barrel of whisky. He werft to New Salem and started a grocery, thinking that he could make a living at that business and study law too, STEVE DOUGLAS WAS TEACHING SCHOOL down there at the same time, and every night after supper he would go over to Abe's grocery to talk politics and law. But Steve liked liquor and during the winter he was Abe's best cus- tomer. He would take two or three and some- times more drinks every night and always have Abe mark it on the slate. Before the winter was gone Abe's barrel was empty, the slate was covered with Steve's accounts and the firm went into bankruptcy. Abe had neither money nor grocery and he concluded that he would go back to Springfield and study law in earn- est. You see, the senatorial race was not the first time Steve beat Abe.” “But they were good friends then?” “Why, they were always the best of friends, When in the legislature, between 1836 and 1840, those two young chaps would pull to- gether and each help the other to maintain his leadership. They were leaders then, That was a great legislature, too. We had more talent and brains in it than you can now find in gin of 18 points over the Giants. TOMORROW'S GAMES. It is not likely that the weather will be such this afternoon that the game with Pittsburg can be played, for evenif the rain should cease the grounds are by this time so thoroughly soaked that it would take some hours of sun- shine to put them in shape for a scrimmage. In any event the home managers are quite willing to play two games tomorrow, provided the weather permits and they can be assured of a good crowd. Last Saturday they offered the public the inducement of a double enter- tainment for one admission, but the attendance was ridiculously small, The people here ought to be willing to encourage enterprise on the ‘t of the home club, and with the chances in favor of the local team winning one, if not both, of the games there should be packed grounds to-morrow afternoon in case the two games are announced. The only contingency upon which this event depends, barring the weather, is the matter of the attendance that may be expected. There ought to be no doubt of it in this city. SKY SCRAPERS. Capt. Arthur Irwin was expected to return from his hunting trip last night, but he has not yetarrived. It may be, as he said in Philadel- phia, that he was headed for Boston, in which case it may be set down as a fact that he scents game ahead. The Philadelphia Press remarks: “From the tenor of President Hewett's remarks there is a strong probability that in the ccurse of a week or so there will be a decided shaking up of the soe Coming to America to Wed. A New York special to the Philadelphia Times says Mile. Sophie Apenes Zela, the famous Norwegian cantatrice, arrived there on the Hamburg-American steamer Hammonia yester- day, She was accompanied by Miss Ida Rothe and a rising young Boston lawyer named Ed- gar O. Achorn. They met in Shrimstadt, Swenden, while Mr. Achorn was summering abroad in 1888, When he returned to this country he had her promise to marry him, and he went last June to Paris to bring her to his Boston home to fulfill what may be her final engagement before the public. They will be married some time during the latter part of this month. Zela is twenty-six years ‘old, She will go to Boston ‘with her intended husband, BomsarpMent or Fort McHenny.—In order to accommodate those desiring to witness the bombardment of Fort McHenry, the Baltimore and_Ohio railroad will run a special express train from Baltimore on Friday, September 13, for Washington, leaving Camden station at 12 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. o'glock midnight. ——— the United StatesSenate. There were Lincoln and Douglas and Browning and Harding and Gatewood and Thornton and Linder and De- ment. They all became great men. But we didn’t have any idea there was so much unde- veloped greatness lying around at the capital then. They were all bright young men, but Lincoln and Douglas were the natural leaders, Lincoln headed the whigs aud Douglas the democrats. We had great times and we did lots of good work.” “What kind of man was Lincoln socially?” Washington team, and that some of the boys who have been soidiering will find that Hewett manages to keep himself pretty well informea as to ir actions. Two of the men are booked for release, and their places will not be filled unless some excellent material can be obtained between now and the close of the champion- ship season.” Carney’s release has been recalled and he will be held for emergencies by the home club, Mack has shown up on first in “class A” style, and he promises to make one of the leaders in Importing Belgian Glass Workers. A Pittsburg dispatch says: The neglect to furnish the recent importation of English glass workers under contract, together with the present strike of six thousand window-glass workers in this district, is causing a heavy influx of Belgian glass blowers, The National Giass Budget to-day says: “The Budget is now able to give a list of seventy-seven names of “The most entertaining fellow I ever met. I campaigned with him in 1840, stumping the state for old Tippecanoe, the grandfather of President Harrison, We traveled on horseback through all central Illinois, and Abe was A DELIGHTFUL comPaNio; the life of the company whether riding across the prairies or stopping ata little tavern. He had such a fund of stories that he never lacked one to illustrate a point. It was the same in his specches. I never saw any other man who had a story ready to suit every emergency. It seemed an inspiration. It was his way of pre- senting an argument so that it would tell upon his audience.” “You were also intimate with Yates,were you not?” “Yes, in after years. But Dick was « child when Abe and Steve were my friends and fel- low statesmen at Springfield. Dick was a brainy man and had he lived would have been known for more than ‘war governor of Illi- nois,’” that corner ofthe diamond. He has a longer reach than any one who has ever played there before for us, and his scoops and dives rival those of the long-legged, lhmber-jawed Faatz. ‘The talk about the season of 1890 is beginning to crystalize, and many suggestions are being thrown out to the rulé-makers on all sides, For example, the Inquirer announces these demands: ‘-Put the pitcher back, give us more batting, abolish the balk rule, stop the Sunday games, do away with double games. Then the Cleveland Plain-Lealer ident Byrne of the Brooklyns speaks when he says the balk rule should be abol- itis never observed. The line of ‘tion ig so fine that the umpires cannot Nearly every oue is of the opinion that the short foul tip must be made a strike and there is a growing belief in the justice of making 2 base on balls a factor in earning runs, The meeting of the association tomorrow in Philadelphia promises to be exciting and war- like. Itseems from some of the paragraphs printed on the field of battle that there are suspicions of a combine among some of the magnates of the association to down Byrne. Of course Von der Ahe is going to make a strong fight to regain his supremacy and there are, itis hinted. a number of others behind him, but it would seem to those on the other side of the fence that it would be much more wholesome for the association, and for base ball generally, to take some steps toward his suppression. — ‘istic St. Louis Republic ‘is to 3a; e news from Brooklyn sounds warlike. irks charges can be sul tiated the indications re that it is the Brooklyn aggregation that will suffer expulsion and not the -champious. ‘The Brooklyn club is run as an adjunct toa faro bank, and the conscience that can calmly work asilver box will not hesitate to corruptly in- fluence an umpire when there is money and gir tobe gained. The evidence from New otk shows that it was so dark Saturday night that i missed three balls in succession, on which a Brooklyn player made two bases, Under such conditions it was not possible to retire the side until morning.” The New York World thus drops into allels: *‘The e between Washington and In- Gianapolis Tuesday was similar in many re- to one between St. Louis and Brooklyn last Saturday.

Some weeks ago a Congregational minister of Walsall, named Barfield, disappeared mysteri- ously after having delivered a series of political lectures in London in the interest of the tory and unionist party. It is believed that he started to fulfill an engagemeyt to lecture in Ireland, upon an invitation sent him to come over for that purpose, Since that time noth- ing has been heard of him. Inquiries which have been made led to results which appear to indicate that the invitation was bogus, and it now transpires that Mr. Barfield had received a friendly anonymous letter on July 4, which urged iim to pay attention to the invincible threats of assassination which he had received, and to abandon his pict visit to Ireland, or the Cronin tragedy might be repeated in England. ‘The letter, together with the threats of harm, were ignored at the time, but the mat- ter has uow been placed in the hands of the police, in the chance of there having been more in them than was supposed. ———— “see ‘ou campaigned for Gen, Harrison?” “O, yes.
