An interesting episode in the history of American postege stamps occurred in i861, when the government ceclared “obsolete” all its stamps then in current use, and sub- stituted a new series. This was designed to kill the value of the large stocks held throughout :he south, where they had been in considerable use as fractional currency. In the loyal states a certain period was | named within which holders of the old | postage stamps might exchange them for the new, and so no loss was entailed upon either postmas ‘The confederate government at once red the postage then on hand valid until their own stamps should ap- pear, and the rceipts from the sale of the old stamps were ordered te be turned into | the southern treasury.

It is a singular fact that the or- iginal order declaring these stamps obso- lete cannot now be found. Montgomery Blair, as Postmaster General, issued it.

McJames steered the visitors into a victory in the. opening game. Six little nits were the sum total the Giants made off his del'very, but they managed to earn one of the two runs that were credited to theni. Besides holding the Giants down to six singles, McJames retired eight of them on strikes. Lawyer Sulliyan manipulated the sphere for the home team, but the assortment of curves and shoots he doled out to the vis- itors was of the kind that bred familiarity with his delivery, Gettman in particular being very aggressive. The barrister man- aged to keep the hits so. well apart that ingle run could be chased across in any one inning until the ninth, e hits and an error by Gettig net- ors four runs and put the re- id a doubt. made his reappearance with the home team, after an absence of a week with a badly damaged hand. He went to his old position, and, as Captain Joyce st, Gettig was shifted to third Davis and Gleason put up great ball in both games. The latter deserves special mention, accepting all of seventeen chances at second base, and many of his assists were on balls ihat had the appearance of being safe. In fact, nothing seemed too hard for him. Two’ throws by Van Hal- tren and McCreery, the former's from cen- ter field to first base, putting out Wrig- ley after he had made @ safe hit, was quite a feat. McCreery threw from deep right field to the plate, putting out McGuire. The Second Game. The second game, which was one post- poned by rain when the Washingtons vis- ited this city earlier in the season, went to the Giants with apparent ease. Mercer and Seymour were the opposing pitchers in this game, and it was evidently Sey- mour’s day. He pitched well and batted like a fiend, making four safe hits. Several times “Si” got into tight places, but he never gave any signs of going into the air. Neither did the noisy coaching by Tucker and other members of the Wash- ington team have any effect on him, and in the second inning he showed remarkable nerve. With the bases full, he struck out Selbach, althovgh-he had to put four good ones over the plate before he got credit for his work. - An error by Davis and singles by Selbach and Getiman, with some clever base run- ning, gave the Washingtans their first two runs in the fifth inning. A muffed fly by ‘Tiernan and singles by Tucker and Leahy gave them another in the sixth. Their fourth and last run came in the seventh inning on a forced out, an,out at first and a single. Selbach climbed into the fifty-cent seats in left field during the game and threaten- ed to punch the head of one of the occu- pants for saying something to him which | he Gid not like.

THE JAMES GLARK DISTILLING C0., 610 Penn. Ave."and 611 B Washington, D.C... St. NW., Saved Boston. The Baltimore Sun has the following to say of yesterday's Baltimore-Boston game: Qctplayed by Boston! Twelve thousand rooters: rooted, and their horns tooted, their cowbells jangled, thelr rattles raised a racket and their voices hoarseiy went abroad, and not a 20al of them but heard the beatings of his own heart and felt a rumpus inside of him that was made manifest above all the din, for the upshot of it all was: Outplayed by |- Boston. . Outplayed by Boston. Yes, it was a grand game—that first contest~of the last series, which is probably to decide the world’s championship of the diamund for 1897. Yes, a beautifui game, and Beans went to the head of the procession, while the three-time pennant winners are de- Posed from ine lead. Boston is again in a little better position to win out than the Orioles, but Baltimore hardly expected to win all three games. There are two more, and if the Orioles can win both, which is not improbable, they can get that fourth pennant. So play ball, bcys, and show your mettie. A grand day, a grand crowd and a grand game of base ball inspired all at Union Park alike yesterday. It was the largest crowd of the season and one of the great- est that ever assembled there. Base ball reoters from every ayenue of life have been looking forward to the present strug- gle for months, determined if they saw no others to see those between ihe champions and the boys from the Hub, that have been and are giving the Orioles such a gal- lant fight, the hardest that, the Orioles have ever encountered. Off to the Park. Business men arranged their engage- ments so as to have yesterday to so to the geme, workingmen took a half holiday, small boys had been saving :heir cents, and those who can seldom afford to see ball games denied themselves for weeks in or- der to see the Bostons play. Among the 12,964 persons present were Boston rooters who had come all the way from the Hub armed with horns and other hideous in- struments of noise to urge on their heroes. They sat in the grand stand just bchind the Boston bench. The crowd overfioved the bleachers into the field and ropes bad to be stretched and a ground rule made. The grand stand above and below was packed, many hundreds having to stand up. But to the game itself. The Bostons won because they outplayed the home team and they deserved their victory. Hanlon’s boys hit the ball a good deal harder than their opponents. They not only made more hits, according to the score, but a number of what would usually have been hits were turned into outs by the unusually brilliant fielding of the lads from the east. But while the Orioles hit the ball harder, they did not bat with as good judgment nor as consistently as their adversaries, and their hits were not timely, as nearly all those made by Boston were. The Visitors’ Fine Fielding. The principal reason for the result. how- ever, lay in Boston’s fielding, which was far superior to Baltimore's. Not only was Boston’s fielding faultless, while Balti- More's errors cost two runs; not only did the visitors field with a confidence, a regu- larity like clockwork, but at just the times when the Orioles seemed about to score their plans were thwarted by some particu- larly brilliant and sensational play in the field. This occurred a number of times. On the other hand, while the birds played a fine game and there were many fine in- ‘dividual plays, their fielding as a whole was not up to their old-time standard, and some of them showed a nervousness and tendency to fly off the handle at critical moments that was unlike them. Captain Robinson’s handling of high fouls was one of the features of the game, and his catch- ing was excellent, but his throwing was not as fine as it has. been in recent games by any means. Corbett made a wonderful catch of Ccllins’ liner, red-hot from the: bat, in the sixth inning, but Joe showed a nervousness toward the end that is not natural with him, and his wild throw and wild pitch were the principal factors in the two runs in the seventh inning. i MeGraw’s All-Around Work. The best all-around work for Baltimore was dene by McGraw, who played great ball from start to finish. Had the whole team played ball as he did, with the same shill, nerve and good judgment, the re- sult would have been different. He did not have much fielding to do, but his play- ing at the bat and on the bases was great. He reached first base four times out of five times up, stole two bases, the only ones stolen by his side, scored a run him- self, sent in another, was. left on third twice and first Lase once. y Keeler’s batting was very disappointing. He made one hit, but it did no good. He had four great chances to advance men and failed every time but once, when he sacrificed. The other three times he went cut on pop files to the infield. Stenzel hit the ball hard, but uniuckily, being robbed of two hits by brilliant plays. The work of Boston’s infield was ex- tremely brilliant, especially that of Long, Tenney and Collins. Herman Long’s catch of Stenzel’s “cannon ball’ in the eighth in- ning, with the bases full, was one of the greatest plays ever seen on the diamond, and it not only robbed Stenzei of a hit, but the side of two runs at least, and perhaps more, for three singles followed in the next inning. It is probable that that wonderful catch saved the game for Boston. Tenney made a wonderful one-handed catch of a badly thrown ball, of which Long had made a most difficult stop. Col- lins threw out Robby and Keeler on ap- parently safe bunts, and Lowe made sev- eral pretty catches. Long led his team with the stick also. Corbett’s Good Start. There never was a game that opened with fairer prospects for Baltimore. For three innings Corbett was simply invinci- ble. He made the Bostons’ best batters strike out, and’ the others were equally helpless. Not a man reached first base in those three innings. Then he seemed te tired, at the end of the seventh inning, he pitched a very erratic game. In the fifth inning all three of the outs were strike- outs, yet two earned runs, on two singles, a double and a base on balls, were made on him. Dr. Pond pitched the last two innings and did excellent work. It is probable that he could have won the game, although, of course, had Corbett kept up*his work he would easily have shut out his opponents. He said he was suffering with his shoulder and asked to be relieved. It is peculiarly unfortunate that Corbett should get out of condition just at the most critical point, as he has shown in New York and here yesterday. While Corbett was weakening Nichols was getting strong- er. The champions hammered out two runs in the first inning, but from that time until the ninth inning they were blanked every inning, although they had. any number of chances to score. “BALTIMORE. | RHOAE.

Baltimore may not win the pennant, but WilMam Keeler, the diminutive right fielder of that club, will very likely have the honor -of being the champion bateman of the National League. With the close of the season but a week away, he has a clear lead of twenty points over Fred Clarke. The latter has been hardicapped by the fact that Louisville, on account of rain, has not been able to play in six days. Del- ehanty hag fallen off in his work and will hardly reach the .400 mark. “Old Reliable” Jim McGuire leads the Washington club in batting, and also all the catchers in the league. Farrell is the second-best, hitting catcher, though farther down the line. The Beston club now has ten men in the .300 class. Washington, with nine, is a good second. Baltimore and “New York have eight each; Cleveland, seven; Brook- lyn and Pittsburg, five each; Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and Philadelphia, four each, while Louisville brings up the rear with three men ir. the list. ‘Tom McCreery of New York and Louis- ville leads the sacrifice hitters of the league with 36 sacrifice hits to his eredit. Tenney leads Boston with 20; Hoy, Cincinnati, 20; Shindle, Brooklyn, 17; Childs, Cleveland, 17; Jennings, Baltimore, 15; Padden, Pittsburg, 15; Dahlen, Chicago, 14; Dowd, Philadel- phia, 14; Wrigley, Washington, 13; Cross, St. Louis, 12. Duffy of Boston has made 11 home runs, Davis of Pittsburg 28 three-base hits and Stenzel of Baitimore 44 two-base hits. They lead the league in their respective special- ties. Lang of Chicago leads the base stealers, having pilfered 72 bases. Davis of New York is next with 66. The leading run- getter is Hamilton. of Beston. Some of the players who have batted themselves into the .300 class at the elev- enth hour, as it were, are Griffin, Leahy, Brodie, Lally, Pickering, O'Connor and Rusie.

Bresnehan will probably be opposed by Rusie, and it lcoks like the Giants’ game with the big hooster in the box. But there's no tellin’. And Boston won the first! Well! Well!! Well!!! About 500 Washington fans took in the game, and about 475 favored Boston. They all came home happy. Mr: Jake Gettin was very much in evi- dence in the games at New York yester- day. He hit like a house a-fire in the first game, and then, to vary the monotony in the second, did some sensational fielding. The. Senators are still im the first di- vision, but the margin is very, very small, Should they lose today an@ Brooklyn win, down they go to seventh place, and Pitts- burg isn’t a hundred miles away. Manager Selee and Captain Duify display- ed their base ball wisdom a nursing Her- man Long in recent games: Herman cer- tainly saved the game yesterday with his great stop, one in particular saving two runs, Jimmy. McJames is no half-way piicher. He is either good or very bad. Yesterday was his good day, end the “Giants only made five hits. Captain Brown played center in che first game and made two hits, dul in the second game he put Leahy into: center, and the “stoker” also made two hits. : Nothing but the empty honor of being ctampions will reward”thé victors in the Boston-Baltimore series, and yet both teams fought for yesterday's game as if 000,000 was at stake.

Counting the bicachers, the grand stand and the people lining the picket fence, the entire assemblage did not num- ber over twelve hundred people. This small attendance was not due to the fail- ure of the management to have a good card or the condition of the weather, but appeared entirely due to the poor railway facilities afforded the public. A large num- ver of persons, disgusted with the train service, refused to await the arrival of crs, and left the starting point. One train, it is said, left the Georgetown ter- minal about 1 o’ciock and not another train came until shortly before 2 o'clock, when two trains riade their appearance. In the meantime a crowd close en to five hundred persons had assembled, awaiting tranepor- tauion to the park. The two trains that Fred. Schade. made their appearance were quickly load- ed with humanity, and, after a short de- lay, started for the park. The first train to leave went down Prospect avenue at a fast gait, and when the switch was struck ai BStu street the train went off the track and came very near rolling down the steep embankment. Most of the passengers on the moter car were dumped to the ground, narrowly escaping with their lives. For a moment excitement reigned, and all who could do so got away from the range of the car that appeared about to topple over. Forturately no one was hurt. The passen- gers boarded a car which was backed up in front of the car sheds, across the big trestle, and proceeded to the park, with- out regard to the danger they had en- courtered. The weather was excellent, from the spectators’ point of view, but for the racing men there was a stiff southwest breeze, which struck the back stretch with corsiderable force. The track was in a miserable condition. It was heavy at all points, and in some places there was stiff mud. These conditions, together with the wind, were a great bar to fast time. The recent rain had soaked into the track too deeply to be dried out by the pleasant weather of all day yesterday. In fact, it looked for a time as though the races would have to be postponed, but the man- Supment at the last moment decided to run them. . Bald Carried Off the Honors. In the professional ranks Bald carried off most of the honors. He rode in splendid form,and captured both of the open events. Cooper, on the other hand, made a very poor showing. This was due to the fact that he was troubled with a large boil on his right leg, which greatly handicapped him. A.C. Mertens, who captured the five- mile championship of the country, secured a place in all the professionai events. Four of the professional riders of this city man- aged to get placed once during the course of the afternoon. Ball won the two-mile handicap, with Throop a close second. ‘They were the limit men in the race, and were never headed. Billy Sims secured fifth place in the same race, while his brother, Fred Sims, -rode a ‘magnificent race in the one-mile open, and captured second place. In the amateur ranks Fred Schade car- ried off the honors. He came in first in two races, the one-mile invitation and the five-mile handicap, and was a member of the winning team in the tandem race. A. C, Moran did not show up in his usual shape. He was placed only once in the five events, sustaining a fall in the five- mile handicap, which ruined his chances. Leo B. Dannemiller of Georgetown Uni- versity, the boy champion of Ohio, rode a good race. E. L. Wilson also secured a place. Lee Counselman was fortunate enough to get second place in the two-third- mile handicap and fourth place in the five- mile handicap. The other winners of the amateur event were comparatively n men. ‘Who Won the Money. By his day’s work yesterday Bald came out $240 richer, representing two firsts and one third. A. C. Mertens, with two thirds and one fourth, won $75, while Arthur Gardiner in securing second place in the two-thirds mile open won $50. Cooper se- cured only one fourth in the mile open, winning $10. Of the local men George Ball secured $100; Fred Sims, $50; W. F. Throop, $00, and Billie Sims, $15. Out of a total of $000 cash prizes the local boys won $225, while the visiting riders carried away $375. Last year, when in this city, Bald won two firsts and one third, securing $200, while Cooper won a first, a second and a third, netting him $170. Gardiner won two seconds and secured $115. Though the races were advertised to start at 2:30, it was fully one hour later before the first event was called. The de- lay was indirectly caused by the lack of home stretch pumping with his body like race horse. - - Bald and Cooper. The final of the two-third-mile open was ‘watched with interest, as it was the first time Baki and Cooper came together. Bald took the lend, while Gardiner was anxious for the rear, though Cooper held back and followed behind. On the last lap Gardiner tried his sprinting ability on the back stretch, but to no avail. Bald sprinted ahead of him, and Mertens finished a close ; third. © was the iast man in the bunch across the tape. In the final of the two-thirds-mile handicap Alexander was unable to ride, his wheel having been smashed in the previous heat. Mueller, who had 85 yards, managed to keep the lead the entire distance, in spite of the ef- forts of the rear men to head him off. In the first heat in the mile open pro- fessional Mertens was made pacerhaker and Cooper crossed the tape In the lead at the finish. Bald won the second heat handily, Gagliner being pacemaker. Fred. Titus, who was notdeeling in the best con- Cition, was excused from this race and all other professional events. In the final of this race Bald succeeded in beating out Fred. Sims for first place, while Cooper secured fourth. The five-mile handicap amateur was run in one race, instead of heats, as scheduled. The handicaps were about even and the scratch men succeeded in catching the bunch by the twelfth lap. This race proved to be the most eventful of the day, being marked by several spills. In the ninth lap Smith fell directly in front of the grand Stand. His wheel slipped in the soft track and he made the most graceful fall ever seen at the park, which did nothing more than stun him. A Bad Spill. Toward the close of the race there were from twelve to fifteen riders going around the course and everybody looked for a spill. In this the spectators were not disappoint- ed. On the last lap, between the third and fourth turns, E. S. Gee ran into Moran's wheel and threw both riders. Brearley,Von and another rider were mixed up in the wreck. For a time it was thought that Von Boeckman’s shoulder blade was broken, while Brearley was severely shaken up. Dr. Glazebrook who was surgeon of the day, made an examination and pro- nounced Von Boeckman’s injury to be a severe sprain. The exhibition by Arthur A. Zimmerman was in the nature of a farce. He was paced by W. E. and Billy Sims and Geo. S. Bail on a triplet. The track was too soft for the triplet to make any time and Zimmerman had no difficulty in hanging on to the rear wheel. At the close of the last lap he passed the pacemakers and came down the home stretch, giving the spectators an idea of his former terrible sprint. The time was 2:30 and it was not announced to the spectators. The tandem race was not Schade and Moran, with the Georgetown University, and H. and Bayard T. Wrenn were the opposing teams. At the outset the latter team set a rattling gocd pace for two laps, and on the third lap made no attempt to ride. When the judges announced the finish it was stated the prize would_be withheld pending a decision from the racing board, as it was manifest that the losing crew did not ride to win. The clesing event on the program was a two-mile handicap professional. 1t brought out a field of nine men. George S. Ball, with 200 yards, and W. F. Throop ,with 180 yards, managed to keep the lead between them all through the race and finished nearly half a lap ahead of the bunch, really distancing the other men. On the last lap Gardiner fell from his wheel near the fourth ‘urn, and he claimed that Fred. Sims elbowed him. 4ald secured third place and Mertens fourth, while Billy Sims was a close fifth, beating out Cooper. At the conclusion of the race Gardiner entered a protest against Sims, for foul riding, but as there was no evidence noth- ing was done in the matter. Summary.

The court found it difficult to get the last juryman, and one of the lawyers proposed Miss Loew, who is also a lawycr. The opposing counsel agreed, and she served admirably. The Rochester Democrat tells of a jury made up entirely of lawyers which was on im- paneled in a New York court. The jury took the case away from the acting attor- neys, took turns in quizzing the Witnesses, and asked instructions innumerable from the judge. The case was a simple one, which should have been settled in fifteen minutes. They wrangled all day until sun- down, and then, not being able to agree, were locked up for the night. As a rule, lawyers are not regarded as good jury- men, <2. One pleasing feature of the game yeste: day in Baltimore was the unusual absenc of kicking indulged in by either side. Th: crowd had expected to witness a game full of the most bitter strife and wrangling, while on the other hand it turned out to be one of the cleanest and least quarrelsome games seen in Baltimore this year. Only once did matters become squaily. This was when, in the seventh inning, Doyle hit along the third base line into the crowd, and Robbie, Kelley and McGraw kicked hard for two bases, but Bob Emslie was firm and did not allow it. ‘town University was substituted, Paul Von Boeckman being ex- cused. This left six men in the race, and at the start George E.
