RaRsS eeserer lowing to say about Saturday's Washing- ton-Brocklyn game: Those ninth inring batting rallies which the Brooklyn team bas been springing un the unfortunate “Senators” for the past few days never happened in comparison to that which the “Senators” unhooked at Eastern Park yesterday afternoon. After liding gracefully aiong for seven innings, with one lonely run and four equally lonely hits to their credit, Brown's tourists roused themselves in the eighth and ninth innings, and turned what appeared like certain de- feat into a glorious victory. It was by long odds the hardest defeat that the local ug- #regaticn has sustained this season, but the visitors worked hard for the game and deserved the victory, although Tim Hurst helped them to the winning run through the medium of a rank decision at the home plat Getiman started the siaughter in the eighth with a two-bageer to ieft. DeMon- treville pushed a teasing grounder to sho: which “Germany” couldn't field in time. McGuire pasted a-beauty to Sheckard’s ter- ritory. Tucker pushed a safe one to cen- ter. Brown kept up with the proc and put another in the same spot. planted a two-bagger up against the left fiela fenee.

The latter made a beautiful throw to the plate, and Reilly was the easiest sort of a victim, but Hurst didn’t see it, and declared him hereat a howl of anguish went up 501 angry rooters.. Gettman termi- cre-with a fly to shori cen- ter, which Mike Griftin made a magnificent eateh of. He turned a complete somer- sault, and lost his cap in the struggle, but held on the ball. The ‘Senato: had piled up half a dozen runs, and the score stood 8 to 7. Lacha led ff in the home team’s half with a safe one to left, and took second on Leahy's fumble, but was left there, as the next chree men all perished on little pop-up files. It was only natural to presume that Chauncey Fisher would be relegated to ob- livion after his pyrotechnic act in the eighth, but he wasn’t; and there is where a mistake was made. The crowd groaned when he ambled out to the slab in the the first to bat, slammed a pretty single to 2 irenzied howl went up from the as- d multitude to have him taken out. MeGuire, the next batter, pasted one to Sheckard’s pasture for a base, and it looked like a repetition of the preceding inning; but Mike Griffin waved Chauncey Fisher to the seclusion of the dressing room, and lured forth “Lefty” Payne to stem the tide of defeat. “Lefty” hadn’t had any warm- ing up. and couldn't locate the plate, Tu er gettieg a free pass and filling the bases. “Duke” Farrell, who batted in place of Brown, pasted one at Shi nh was het it burned the gre reaching. first and DeMontreville scoring.

Umpire._MeDousl ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS. Olea arrest ‘Time— The National Base Ball League Cha: pionship Still in Doubt. From the Baltimore Stn. Only two more weeks remain of the base ball season of 1897, and the championship is still in doubt. Some time before this date last year it had been settled to a cer- tainty, but this season the Orioles have a very different antagonist. In spite of the manifold misfortunes of Hanlon’s team in 1897, the champions have a higher percentage than last year, not- withstanding the more formidable opposi- tion. They have a very slender lead of just one game at present, and the slightest slip may put them behind. But for the very unfortunate and unnecessary defeat by St. Louis, the failure to win from Phila- delphia Thursday and the tumbie on Fri- day, Baltimore would now be three games to the good and have the pennant prac- tically won. As it is, no man can foretell the result. Whether Baltimore or Boston wins, both have made gallant fights for the coveted bunting. Baitimore’s hardest ordeal comes this week, when the Orioles have three games with New York in New York, be- ginning today, and two games with Bos- ton at Union Park, the last game with Boston being scheduled for Monday. It would seem that Baltimore has now the best chance to win. The Orioles ought to win at least one in New York and two from Boston here. If they do that the pen- nant is likely to come to Baltimore, for the Orioles would be one game in the lead of Boston still, and certainly Baltimore ought to win as many from Washington at home as Boston does from Brooklyn in Brook- lyn. Boston has had, and will have, one vast advantage over Baltimore, in that the teams that go to Boston are all rooting for Boston, while the teams that play against Baltimore fight to the last ditch. Thus New York used Pitcher Sullivan against Boston in order to save Rusie for Balti- more, and Rusie has been resting, so that he might be abie to pitch two games. Bos- ton has been saving Nichols for Baltimore, and he will pitch two of the games here. The Orioles always have the very hard- est in the business to face. If they play their game they ought not to fear either Rusie or Nichols, provided Corbett, Hoffer and Nops pitch the ball they are capable of. - From the Philadetohia Press, The Beaneaters will start the present week a good second, and they have a slight call on their only competitor for the flag in that they will play three games on their own grounds with Brooklyn, while Balti- more must play three games at New York. In the first series of games of the week the New Englanders will have the advantage, but after that matters will be reversed. ‘Then will come the duel, and on Friday and Saturday of this week*and Monday of rext there will be played three of the most men reached first out the Cincinnati Reds without a hit.

CRICKET AZ .-MANHEIM, English Eleven Playing Twenty-Two Young Americans. Mr. A. W. Cherrinkton,°secretary of the Washington Cricket ‘Clu, writes that. a big gathering was present’on the Manheim cricket grounds at Philadelphia Saturday to see the match betweeh “the visiting Eng- lish cricketers and twenty-two Philadelphia “colts’—fully 8,000, it» is estimated; in some parts of the ground the spectators were four deep. The ‘ground looked its best. The club’s flag and the stars and stripes and union jack were flying. The wicket was cut -up very much, and at the end of Saturday’s play was in very bad condition. That the “colts” match is re- garded with much favor in Philadelphia was very apparent from the comments on the ground, and when they came on the field they appeared a little army. When it is remembered that their ages average nearly as much, if not quite, that of the visitors, it will be readily seen that with svch a handicep the<English team will have to exert themselves to the utmost to win. With twenty-two such lively ‘colts in the field it is surprising that thetr oppo- nents scored 159, for they were everywhere, three or four being placed near the ropes and no less than eight being in or near the slips; and it was with the greatest difficulty the batsmen could get a ball through. The only unprotected spot was in long and square leg, and this the English quickiy discovered and profited by. The fielding was excellont, and the re- covery and return being clean and quick, and with one or two exceptions, especially the “muff” made of Jessop's easy chance, appeared almost faultless, and many a time brought out a round of applause. Their bowling was also unusually good, and with 94 runs to the good and 16 wick- ets still to fall, their chances of winning are good. Leveson Gower not playing, owiag to in- disposition, weakens his side considerably, as he is one of the most consistent run getters, an@ in the exhibition game at Staten Island showed what he could do when runs are needed. He is expected to be able to play in the next match, Tonge having been substituted in the present oue. Jessop again failed to score on Satur- day, but that if he can survive the first few overs he will give trouble there is no doubt, fer he tries to punish almost every ball Hemingway also is a hitter. for in Satur- day's game, with little effort, he lifted a ball clean over the grand stand, It is a treat to a cricketer to witness such an exhibition of batting as Head gave at Staten Island and also at Germantown important games ever seen, and the series | Saturday, and he is undoubtedly one of is likely to be. talked of for years to come. | the best, if not the best, batsmen, those On those days Boston will play at Balti. | Coming close being Leveson Gower and more and the issue will probably be de! Warner. Speaking generally, the present mined at that time. Baltimore will have the advantage in playing on their own grounds and before home crowds. The Bostonians, however, will not lack for root- ers, but, of course, those who wish to see the Orioles win t series and the pen#* nant as well wilt be in the majority. It has been a great fight for the honor of carrying off the championship,and whether or ot the Bostons are successful they de- serve a vote of thanks from enthusiasts in Philadelphia and other cities which have had losing teams for keeping alive the in- terest in the great sport. From the New York World. Capt. Joyce was seen by a World reporter last evening, and he nad much to say in re- gard to the team. He felt a little sore over the defeats sustained in Boston, but said; of course, that they could not be helped, owing to the crippled condition of the New York team. t “Davis’ hand is split between the thumb and index finger,” he said, “and the shift- ing of positions seemed to demoralize us. But we are all right now. Gleason has played two games since his recovery, Davis will be at short tomorrow and Rusie will pitch. I wonder how they are going to beat us!” “What do you think of the pennant race, captain?” asked the reporter. “Well, only a few points divide Boston and Baltimore, but I think the Orioles will hold the lead. They are playing rattling good ball, and ought to attend to the Bean Esters in good shape when the two clups meet. We are about the only people that will beat Baltimore, and I think we ought to take at least two out of three games. “Do I think we should have finished het- ter than we have? Yes, I do; but it would not do for me to say just now who is to blame. However, we ought to be second, at least, and the same causes for con will not exist this time next year, if I help , if it had not ‘been for those double-headers, no emergencies would have existed, and then I would have shown what kind of ball team the real Giants are: ‘They are the greatest outfit in the league.” Capt. Joyce took occasion to compliment young Gettig, who, he believes, will make a great pitcher in time. He says the youngster was played too much by Newarks. Parke Wilsoa's finger is still d he will not be able to caten this Jimmie Donnelly has not recovered from his recent indisposition, and has gone to his mother's home in New Haven. Base Ball Notes, The Senators begin a series with the Phillies today, MeJames probably pitching for the tourists, while Dunkle or Taylor will oppose him. The Quakers have been playing good ball lately, and a hard series evidently confronts the Washingtons. The series this week between the Balti- more, New York and Boston clubs will about decide the championship. The strain will be something terrible on the birds, as they will have to. face Rusie twice, and Nichols will probably go against them the same number of games. The Brooklyns and Washingtons may yet be strong fac- tors in the pennant race. It is expected that Elberfield will play third and Miller-second for the Phillies to- day against the Senators. Both men are tipped off az comers and will try to do their best in their first games. If they have not lota of nerve their over-anxiety may help ‘our boys. Al:Selbach nursed his sore knee all day yesterday and it is more than iikely that he will be back in the game today. The injury was a painful one, but a liberal use of witch hazel and hot water has probably pncee the stocky German solid on his pins again. It can be depended upon that the Brook- lyns will play the game of their life against the Bostons, if Manager Barnie has his way with the men under him. Mr. Barnie is financially interested in the coming trip of the “champion” Baltimores .and an All- American team across the-contient, and his attraction would -be a comparatively poor one if the Bostons should turn out cham- pions and the Orioles come in second. President Young will, it is said, insist on an investigation of the charges made against him by President Freedman, and unless he {s fully vindicated will tender his resignation. If Uncle Nick is found guilt- less and Mr. Freedman does not offer an apology, it is probable that a vote of cen- sure for him and confidence in Mr. Young will be the consequences. One secret has leaked out of Camp Ew- ing. William Buckingnam tried to land eae Selbach while at Washington. ie ‘agner wanted “His Insects” to supplant Charley Abbey. * ‘What a great help George Davis has been to the Giants this season! Next to Am Ruste, the hero of the “Dimplés and Kit- tens” episode has done more to give the Giants their high position this season than ary one else. George has not only fielded weil, but he’ has brought in winnin; rapped out a clean hit that ig and tying runs as often as any player in the season. Manager McKee of the Paterson Base Ball Club. of the Atlantic team is censidered quite strong in batting end fielding, but less strong in bowling. In delivering the ball Jessop takes a very long run and relies chiefly upon speed, for there is little, if any, break, but they come in with terrific foree, and if one should chance to strike the batsman’s face prob- ably there might be need of a surgeon. Bull varies his speed, but usually he bowis a medium-paced ball, breaking both ways, ard is without question the most ef- fective bowler. “Stocks and Chinnery both are left handers, Stodks taking a very con- fusing diagonal runcand has a high de- livery. +, boone A cricket ,tecm has alsa.

CLOSING THE ROWING SEASON. Fall Regatta of the Potomac Boat ch < : The annual fall regatta of the Potomac Boat Club was held Saturday afternoon. The weather was just cool enough for row- ing, and the aspirants for aquatic honors were cheered to do their best by a good- sized gathering of spectators, who lined the balcony of the club house. The first event was a novice race ~Between eights. Two crews contested and Yhe"id8ing crew, which had a new boat asd new Sars, would have won easily had‘it not bectf‘for Heth’s mis- hap, when about withih ‘of hundred yards of the finish.

GOOD RUN LOCAL WHEELMEN. 4 Hours and 15 Minutes. — A party of wheelmen frem this city, con- sisting of Myron Yount, W. H. Reid, Claude B. Cooksey and Howard Fisk, rode from Philadelphia to Atlantic City on their wheels yesterday morning, over the famous White Horse pike, eovering the distance of sixty-one miles in four hours and fifteen minutes. The “start Was made at 6 a.m. sharp, with two Philadeiphia riders pacing, who carried them to Hammonton, where ew pacemakers carried ihe latter two from this point to Absecon, with the re- maining nineteen -miles to Atlantic City unpaced. A strong wind was biowing against them at the time, and taking this in® consideration it is considered remark- ably good time. At the junction of the Gloucester pike with the White Horse pike the Puritan Cycle Club of Philadelphia were met and joined them in their century run. By rid- ing in the center of the two files the riders succeeded "in passing the 1,500 riders, and at Absecon, the terminus of the fifty miles, the racers had gained several miles and ccntinued -on to Atlantic City. The afternoon was pleasantly spent at the seashore and the return home Was made by train. LANCASTER WON THE PENNANT. Close of the Atlantic Base Ball League Season, The Atlantic League season practically closed Saturday. Lancaster, Pa., had the pennant won for a month or more and the certainty of the result prevented the display of much enthusiasm, such as would follow a close race. The base ball public of Lancaster cele- brated in a mild way, however, the win- ning of the pennant by the Lancaster team. There was but little demonstration after the game with Norfolk Saturday, as the victory was such a hollow one, but later in the evening the rooters appeared on the streets and made night hideous with their yells for the Atlantic League cham- pions. The Atlantic League standing was as follows: La ew: Fall Racing at Benning.

The invitation handicap tournament be- gins this afternooa on the courts of the Riverdale Athletic Club. was Kiser Defeats Bald. , Eddie Bald of Buffalo was defeated “Sat- urday in the one-mile professional at the Manhattan Beach bicycle track by Earl H. Kiser of Dayton, Ohio. The 5,000 spectators cheered the victor, and when Bald made a claim of foul, which was not allowed, he was roundly jeered. He claimed that Ki- ser’s front wheel and pedal had touched his right foot while both were sprinting for the tape. Kiser wom it easily by two lengths. Fifty per cent of the gate re- ceipis were di-ided among contestants. The time of the seventh and final heat was 2.12 John 8.

Ten thousand persons witnessed excellent eycle racing at Willow Grove Park, Phila- delphia, Saturday. The five-mile “triplet race between Henzel and the Turbiville brothers of Philadelphia and Johnson, Steenson and Becker of Minneapolis was won easily by the westerners, The mile race between man and horse resulted in the defeat of horse Romeo by Frank Star- buck, the latter winning by twelve seconds. Arother race of especial interest was the fiye-mile pursuit match race between Star- buck and W. W.

DUE 70 ANTICIPATORY IMPORTATIONS Though the Government Will Be Short, People Enjoy Prosperity. RESULT OF PROTECTION Representative Nelson Dingley, whose name is so intimately o:sociated with the Present tariff law, wrote the following let- ter to the New York World and it was published in the edition of yesterday: LEWISTON, Me., September 18. There’ seems to be a concession on all sides that a genuine revival of business has set in during the past two months, which promises a gradual but solid improvement until the country reaches the great: pros- perity of the period from 1879 to 1893. Whether this sudder. change from dis- trust to confidence, from lethargy to ac- tivity, Is the result of alternating tenden- cies of human nature from hope that grows until it topples to fear that increases until it has spent its force and gives place again to confidence, or of the defeat of the scheme to depreciate our standard money, or of dollar wheat, or of the seftlement of the tariff question and a return to.the pro- tective policy, or, as is undoubtedly the case, of all these causes combined. the fact that this country has again started on the road to prosperity from which it was so disasirously thrown early in 18% can no lcnger be denied. While it is undoubtedly true, as has been se well said by Speaker Reed (in his letter in the World last Sunday), that the pri- mary causes of the swing of the business pendulum from activity 2nd boom to leth- ergy and depression are to be found in the alternating tendencies of human nature from the height of confidence to the ex- treme of distrust, yet, as justly recognized by that eminent statesman, on the one hand these tendencies are hastened and in- tensified, or on the other hana deferred and modified by many influences, seme of which, like the currency and the tariff, are under the control of legislation.

It is more than a coincidence th ginning of industrial and bus sicn was immediately after it became known that the presidential and congres- sional clections of 1892 had resulted in the complete triumph of men piedged to over- throw the policy of protection, and that the beginning of dustrial and business re- ctperation was immediately after it was settled that the policy of protection would be restored. And it is inevitable that the change from such a@ policy to the policy of encouraging production anda manufacture, deter- d upon at the recent s n of Con- would tend to dispel distrust and confidence in the future, start idle ifdustries, op2n up new opportunities for labor, increase the purchasing power of the sses, enlarge the demand for products, raise, or at least tend to raise, prices to a paying point and promote the prosperity of all classes, And these results are quickened and engthened by the conviction among bus- 5 men that the scheme to depreciate the urrency was given a fatal blow by the re- sult of the elections of last November, and also by the concurrent rise in the price of wheat and other farm products. Dollar Wheat Not Likely to Last. It is probable that dollar wheat is not to be expected in the future, when the wheat crop is abundant, for the reason that the reduced cust of handling wheat by ma- chinery and the competition of Russia and Argentine make it possible in ordinary years ta profitably grow wheat at a lower price. But wheat and other farm products ill not be as low as they have been in the t four years of depre. ple reason that the restor: chasing power’ of our people crease of consumption maintenance of better p: .. And with this demonstration prices of tarm products, that the as weil as of | everything else, are made vy the cost of production and supply on the one hand and demand on the other hand, and not by the price of silver, the 1¢ iver fallacy will be dealt so 3 a blow. that it must eventually y to the teach- ings of éxperience, ju as the fiat-money acy gave way 1879-88 to the object son of the Vivifying effecés of a return to sound money. It is perhaps too much to expect that the 16 to 1 silver fallaty will trot be an i the congr tions of next y especially if, as is probable, whe lower next year than now and the free-silver leaders are able tc maintain their holdeon the democratic party. But the importance of making an end of this sov trust and mischief is so great ti hess men of the country wiil be found as solid in opposition to this fallacy as they were last year. ‘ No More Tariff Agitation. There is no good reason to believe that we shall have another tariff agitation to disturb the business of the couatry for many years. In the first place, the pro- tective tariff just passed has been enacted so early in President McKinley’s adminis- tration that any attempt to repeal it would be useless for four years to come. In the second place, the industrial and business interests of the country, after the experiences of tariff agitation which they had the past four years, will demand tariff repose. And in the third place, before any effec- tive steps could be taken to .revolutionize the tariff, our industries and business will be so thoroughly adjusted to the néw tariff, and.will have before them so complete demonstration of its beneficeace in ecm- parison with the results of the tariff of 1804, that any attempt to carry an election against protection would be futile. There can be no doubt -that the protec- tive policy is stronger today than it has ever been before in the hisiury of this country. If any one doubts this let him in- terview the average citizea as he meets him, and he will find abundant evidence that protection has come to stay. Our Big Revenue Deficit.~ ‘There has been an earnest effort on the part of the enemies of protection to dis- credit the’ new tariff because it has not as yet, and will not for some months, yield adequate revenue to-provide for the ex- penditures of the government, as its friends gdeclared must be the case until the effect of anticipatery importations should be overcome. ‘What took place during the four months the tariff bill was being considered in the Senate is well known.

Then, in order to estimate the probable revenue for the fiscal ar commencing next July, there must be added to this the absolute loss of revenue by anticipatory importations. 350,000,000 Deficiency Possible in Five Some idea of the extent to which the rev- enue from customs is now suffering from these anticipatory importations, which will not be felt the next fiscal year, may be gained from an examination of the receipts from duties on imports in August and thus far in September. Notwithstanding sugar and wool were consumed in August to an amount that would have yielded in that month more than $5,500,000 revenue from these two articles alone, yet almost no revenue was received from them, for t simple reason that the amount consumed was imported under the old tariff to avoid the new duties. And for several months to come there will be no revenue from sugar and wool and many other articies imported before the new tariff became a law to avoid the new duties. It is estimated that the loss of revenue from anticipatory impor- tations under the wool and woolens, sugar, silk, manufactures of flax and tobacco schedules for several months will reach nearly $10,000,000 a month. But by January, and perhaps ea the stock of sugar and many other articles im- Ported in advance to avoid the new duties will be exhausted by the consumption of these imports, and the treasury will begin to receive the revenue demanded. While it is hoped that the revenue re- ceived during the present fi year, Witn the $52,000,000 received before July i, but belonging to this fiscal yeat, will ‘meet the current expenditures of the fiscal year, yet it is possible that the anticipatory im- portations may have a more serious effect on the reven in the, next six months than is ex) ected. However that may be, there is no doubt that the revenue from the new tariff and other sources for the 1 year commenc- ing July next will be ample for all pur- poses, Republican Fature Policy. There is a disposition to criticise the re- peblican majority of the House for reso- lutely confining its work at the fecent extra session to the revision of the tariff. The reason for this course is obvious, and the result has justified the policy pur- sued. ‘he republican party had pledged itself to a prompt revision of the tariff on protective lines. It was fel that in order to secure such a revision by a Congress in whick the House only was republican and the Senate anti-republican it was neces- sary to hold the attention of Congress and the country fer the time being to the one question cf tariff revision and to avoid any opportunity for the raising of other divert- ing issues. = Unless this course haf been pursued— and to Speaker Reed's firmness and ability the success of this policy is largely due— tee -probability is that Congress would have been in session now and no tariff measure enacted. This course was absolutely necessary in order to clear the path for even currency legislation, if such legislation on safe lines is practicable in the present condition of the Senate. Certainly when the republican House passed a bill providing for a cur- rency commirsion, to report at the next session of Congress, it took the most ef- fective step at hand. The hostile attitude of the anti-republican Senate made it im- possible to enact this measure into law, but the action of the republican House put the responsibility of its failure where it be- longed. Republican Party and the Currency. Some of the criticism to which the ro- publican party has been subjected for its attitude on the currency has evidently been made without the slightest attempt to pre- serve candor. It has been charged that the republican
