The chorus will ren- der “An Ode to Cuba,”” composed by Pro- fessor Bischoff. Mrs. Clara Belle Brown, president of the league. and her aids will be extremely busy this winter. It is probable that the sham battle at Congress Heights will be repeated in a short while. A second lot of supplies for the relief of Cuban sufferers is now be- ing prepared.

Alexandria Lady Makes a Stage En- gagement — Police Court Proceed- ings—General and Personal News. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King st., Bell Telephone, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 28, 1897. Base ball rooters swarmed the streets in front of The Star bureau to read the re- turns from the battle royal betweeen Bos- ton and Baltimore yesterday afternoon. As the score was posted by innings to the close of the game the excitement was in- tense. Fully 000 people read the score from the bulletin during the evening. The contingent of Baltimore rooters, happy up to the seventh inning, left disgusted when nine runs were posted up on the Boston erd of the score. Never in the history of old Alexandria has so much interest been taken in base ball. Miss Civalier Re-Engaged. Miss Myra Lee Civalier, one of Alexan- dria’s most talented society belles, has been re-engaged by Mr. E. R. Spencer, the tragedian, and will leave for Buffalo, N.

The remainder of the contest was as dull as a ceuntry village 6n a summer's day. The Giants batted like blind men brushing bum- ble bees away from their ears. Winnie Mercer floated a lackadaisical curve to the plate that had barely enough strength to cross the rubber. But the Giants couldn’t hit it. They curved their back bones and sprained their biceps trying to do some- thing mere effective than mix up the at- mosphere. Most cf the runs pulled down by the Washingtons had an error attachment. In the second Tucker got a base on balls and was forced out by Brown. Reilly and yrigley followed with singles, Mercer and Selbach got bases on balis, and Gettman’s out at center gave Wrigley a chance to Score, which. with the runs of Brown and Reilly, made three for the inning. Three more were added by the Senators in the sixth. With one out Meekin muffed Brown's fly, Reilly was hit by a pitched ball, and Gleason fumbled Wrigley’s hit and threw wild, Brown scoring. Mercer's single sent Reilly and Wrigley home. The Giants made all they got in the last halt of the inning. Tiernan began with a singie, and Davis struck out. Singles by Gleason, Gettig and McCreery, with Clark’s out at first, scored Tiernan, Gleason and Gettig. NEW YORK. BH.

Time— The Vast Throng on the Baltimore Ball Field. From the Baltimore Sun. It was a colossal affair in all its hor- rible, heartrending features. The excite- ment was stupendous, the interest so big as to roll like a tidal wave all over the land, the expectations were huge on both sides, the thong was enormous, and even the score of 19 to 10 was big, while the differer:ce by which the Boston Base Ball Club walloped the champion Oriotes, of Baltimore, was too large for comprehen- sion—in this latitude. The attendance the first day—last Friday —was 12,904, and broke all records for any game except holidays and opening days of the season. Saturday’s crowd was the largest that had ever assembled at Union Park up to that time, the number being 18,128, It was thought that that would be the banner crowd, but the immense con- course of yesterday astonished everybody. The attendance yesterday being 25,390, makes the total attendance at the three games foot up to 56,417. Several Boston newspaper men said, after yesterday's game, that, in their opinion, the crowd of yesterday was the greatest that ever witnessed a ball game anywaere. While there may have been greater crowds upon a single occasion, it is pretty certain that no other series of three games ever drew 56,000 spectators. As the general admission in Baltimore is 25 cents, the Boston club took away from here in the neighborhood of $7,000 for the three games. The Baltimore club got about $8,000 in non the last visit, but general ad- ion there is 50 cents. What a struggle for life it was to get into Union Park yesterday; what a battie to get out again. From every quarter the thousands came and packed Huntingdon avenue for blocks. Long lines, waiting for tickets, extended to the east us far as the York road, and another line stretched its | Jength westward to Charles street, while hew entrances were formed and still other files of surging, struggling humanity were formed to find their way into the inclosure through the club house door and the wagon gates. Once there was a crash. The eastern- most wagon gate, on Huntingdon avenue, was pushed from its foundation, and two thousand persons, some with tickets and some without, some with the cheapest pasteboards and some with grand stand cards, burst through the 1ew opening and dashed madly into the grounds, not earing what positions they had or had nor bought, but intent only upon actting into the grounds to see the base ball game of a cen- tury—the last on earth, it seemed to be. Men with grand stand tickets jumped from the stand to the ball Seid, and many of them later regretted that they had done so. Hundreds were found walking around back of the crowd during the game. These promenaders had paid anywhere from 25 cents to $2 for the right to be there. They cculd see nothing excenting an occasional ball which went high im the air. Men and boys tore boards from the in- clined fences at the foot of the grounds and stood upon the smal! ends of the boards, which they rested against the fence. A starch box was bougat from a boy for $2. A hench was worth the price of a private box at grami opera. The scalpers who were able to secure grand stand seats unblushingly asked $2 to $5 for_a reserved seat ticket which cost them 75 cents. % By this time the view from one of the upper boxes in the middle of the grand ‘Btand took in a wonderful picture. There were the mass of faces on the bleachers, the broad circle of people extending around the deep ball park, duwn one sive, across center field and up again to the grand stand; the thousands on the housetops side of the grounds, ihe thick cluster of men in shirt sleeves along the top of the bleacher railings, the men and boys perched high upon the grand stand rafters and the hundreds of others who seemingly Sr and about them and their encouraging friends from . Boston the most striking scenes of It was a terrific tonians had been too long in Baltimore to misinterpret the intention. of the army which was massing about them. The band was playing “The Blow Nearly Killed Father,” when the crowg-gave three hearty cheers for Boston and it club and rooters. The tune switched off 40 “Maryland, My Maryland,” and the crowds from far and near cheered again ‘again in recogni- tion of the fact t the Massachusetts boys had captured ia for the da! Then the band played “Dixie,” and th northerners and southerners tried to outdo each other with cheering. ‘3 HO. A.

It’s not over yet. The awful seventh. Selee thinks it's all over, Beans are at a premium. It wasn’t lack of rooting. The Oriole hung his head. Did you ever see such a crowd? The Boston rooters went wild. There were a few two-baggers. Many people failed to get inside. Keeler’s batting average got a boost. ‘The birds fought it out to the bitter end. Baltimore has still a good chance for the pennant. “How many more pitchers has Hanlon?” asked the visitors. Everybody labored under a severe strain. How the Boston stay-at-homes must have kicked themselves for not coming. Baltimore's fine pitching staff dwindled fearfully when Boston came. Keeler and Jennings made most of the runs. Chorus from other cities: “I told you so!” Most of the hits into the crowd would have been fair, anyhow. Nichols got a few dollars from his ad- mirers. There was little kicking, and what there w&s of it came from Duffy. Nichols tried to sacrifice in the fifth, but the bunt bounded over, Hoffer’s head and was safe. Over a dozen new balls were used. Those that went into the crowd seldom came back. mea Amole’s faculty of'tatthing men napping at first was generally,,commended. He railed two Beaneaters -yesterday. Everybody excepting Tenney got a piece of the good things werved up by the Oriole twirlers. Collins lé@ with five hits, with Hamilton second with four. © In addition to the music by the band, the Boston rooters played two-steps over the ribs of several pigs they-had corraled. The harmony was delightful. Joe Corbett was nursing kis right hand lsst night. Stahl’s hot drive to the young- ster was a severe ong and Joe fairly Jemped with pain. That the Bostons were taking every chance to wir was be by. Tenney’s daring attempt at arsteat in the second in- ning. He was playing off third, and Nops had the ball. Tenney played far in, and made a rush just_ag,Nops pitched the ball, Robby just touted’ imein time. ‘The fatal _seventh-tnning, which produced the landslide, would likely have been not half so Iong had the fleld been clear. Ev- ery time a ball was hit to the crowd two beses were given, and in three instances, at least, the hits would have been good for enly one bag. These were. flies which, if eae caught, could have been speedily field- e Collins and Tenney are the greatest play- ers that ever covered third and first base; it’s almost impossible to bunt on them.— McGraw, Baltimore’s. third baseman. Yes, and that man Bergen has killed our base running.—Joe Kelley, the Oriole guardian of left field. Just before the game Nichols received a telegram which bore the name of a wealthy Beston clubman. It read: “It will be well werth your while to win today.” It is probable that “Kid” will have a new bank account when he gets back to the hub. The cry, “Anything to beat Baltimore,” has been going on all season. This bit of sentiment is being adorned with a back- ground of gr2enbacks, which makes the despised champions even more despicable to those who regard the birds as unworthy of the pennant. Not much money has been drawn thus far, however. Let us drop a tear and go on, and let it be a hot and scalding tear, for verily Bos- ton is hot stuff, and her beans are smok- ing. Let her light her bonfires and regild her state house dome and send forth some modern Paul Revere to ride and spread the news. Cheer up, Baltimores. Those who gave honor to your conquerers are with you in defeat. You will not be defeated until the season is over, and one game lost by Bos- ton may give you the championship. All honor to the victors, and to the van- guished, too. For Baltimore and Boston have met twelve times, and each has won kalf of the battles. Three times in suc- cession has Baltimore gained the pennant, and three times successively was that sign of championship flung td the breeze by Boston. Pirates Won im the Last.

At beth Places the enthusiasm displayed over Bcs- ton’s victory was something tremendous. ‘The Baltimore papers say nothing about Hoffer being ordered out of the box by Hanlon and being kept there by the play- ers. Hanlcn’s judgment was the pest, but discipline has gone “kiting” in the Balti- more camp. . It seemed as if the Boston players were on their tiptoes all the time and could have hit anything that stepped into the box. Look at Billy Hamilton's playing as an il- lustration. Billy is for himself all the time, yet he injured himself twice while trying for a run and still remained in the game. The Senators were overlooked for the time being, but when it was seen that they were getting away with the New Yorks a Beart, cheer went up for Mercer and Tom wn. That Toronto team must be hot members. They won their second game from Syra- cuse yesterday in the Steinert cup series by the score of 6 fo 2. Dineen allowed the Stars only four hits. ie Senators made only five hits off of Meekin yesterday, but bases on balls and hitting with men on bases turned the trick nicely. At the gait the Washington boys were playing yesterday it would seem as if there was trouble ahead for the Baltimore birdlets. The work of Umpires Emslie and Hurst during the Baltimore-Boston series de- serves the highest praise. Both these men are top liners and can always do good work if they put forward their best cfforts. Watkins will be at the helin in Pittsburg next season. If his minor league snccess follows him into fast company the Pirates wil Ibe in the hunt. Minor league pennarts are not the cnly kind that dangle in Wat- tie’s wigwam, Wattie once landed a league pennant. It was in 1887, when he brought the Detroits home first in the Na- tioral League race. Secretary Shettsline, who witaes Baltimore-Boston game yesterday, r home last night and declared the attend- ance figures sent out to be greatly exag- gerated. He says the Baitimore rounds will not hold over 15,000 people, and that the attendance was somewhere between 000 and 15,000.—Philadelphia Press. WASHINGTONS RETURN. ‘The Senators Will Make Every Effort After she talked for a considerable t WOMAN BORN IN HEAVEN Singular Fancies of Demented Woman as Detailed to Judge Kimball. ‘The U rtanate is Persuaded to Take Refuge in Police Station— Livea in Georgetown. Miss Bertie Hannan, aged twenty-six years, whose home is with her mother, Mrs. Sarah Walker, No. 3248 Grace street, Georgetown, was this afterncon commit- ted to St. Elizabeth's asylum. The case presents some odd features. Last Saturday afternoon the woman called at the judge’s private office, and proceeded to tell him that she had been born in heaven, but was brought to earth in some mysterious manner. She wanted, she said, to get permission from him to carry a pistoh with which to kill a man who had the power of transforming himself into’ a woman, and Vice versa, and who was continually following her. By day and by night it was the same; sometimes when she would awake at night she would find the mysterious person by her side. Two years ago, she said, this person had done her an irreparable wrong, from the effects of which she was still suffering, and she had determined to rid herself of the objectionable individual by killing kim. Officers Were Scarce. Judse Kimball saw at a glance that the woman was insane, and sent his messen- ger to call police headquarters over the telephone. As is very often the c: ec, headquarters was busy. The messe nger then went out to look for a peliceman. Not one was in sight, and further sc arch failed to discover one. Judge Kimball decided finally to escort the woman to*the first precinct tion himself, and in order to prepare his visitor for the journey thither he encouraged her to go on with her story, which sne the judge told the woman that she needed Prevents Baldness! ‘The timely use of Cooper's Hair Suscess Will restore hats to Bald heads Aare not dead.

If we get two victories it will mean as much to us as to the Balti- mores—we will land in the first division, and it will knock the birds, out of all chances for the pennant. It is no ‘cinch’ for the Bostons in Brooklyn, as the Bride- Brooms will do their utmost to beat us out of sixth place, and I’ll guarantee the series at Baltimore will be far from a sure thing for the Orioles.” Capt. Brown had no news to give out, as Manager Earl Wagner has been at home in Philadelphia for the past week or so. The Senators are all in first-class shape and confident of one or more victories in Baltimore. McJames will pitch the first game, and probably another one should his efforts tomorrow prove successful. If Boston defeats Brooklyn three straight and Washington wins one out of four at Baltimore, the Washingtons will tie the Brooklynz for sixth place. Change in McCoy-Stift Bout. CHICAGO, September 28—The articles governing the McCoy-Stift bout at Dayton, Ohio, October 8, have been amended to allow the men to weigh 160 pounds at 6 clock. The original agreement called for 158 pounds, and the change was made by mutual consent. The forfeit money has been posted by both men. —>—___ THE CHAMPIONS. Decisions Reached in Two Divisi of Croquet Tourney, _ The championship of the first division of croquet players was decided this morn- ing by the game between Bird of Baltimore and Strong of New London, Conn., the lat- ter winning the game and championship of the tournament. The game was a beau- tifully-contested one, and many spectators were on hand to see the exhibition of skill put up by the experts. Bird was able to make but one wicket. Strong allowed him but one open shot, but that was taken ad- vantage of. The winner played a careful, cautious game and the result did not at any time seem te be in much doubt. George C. Strong, the champion, comes from New London, Conn., where croquet is well known and much played. He won the championship at the national tourna- ments at Norwich in 1894 and 1895, and was tied for first place in 1890. He also won second place in 1892. Strong plays the wickets in an extremely careful manner, and is a clean, strong hitter. He received the congratulations of many friends who were on hand to see the game. Had Bird beaten Strong, it would have necessitated the playing off of a tie be- tween Strong, Duryee, Wahly and Bird, but Strong’s victory settles this question and leaves only two players, W. H. Wahly and Duryee, to play off for the second place in the tournament. Bird cannot make a bet- ter record than nine won and three lost, and is out of che race. There are several games, however, to be played in the second and third divisions, and these will keep the tournament open, in all probability, until tomorrew night. The championship for the second divi- Williams now has a record of has another game to play to make up his full quota, his record gives him a clear vision. Coleman seems to have the ed io games were played yesterday in the third division, with the exception of one between Yeager and H Wahly, the former winning. This seems to give Mr. Yeager the best chances for first place in this division, as he now has four won and none lost to his The games between Duryee and W. H. Wahly—in all probability three-in number— the first division, will be played late this this time, and his friends are confident that he will win out.

Repeats Her Story. Arrived at the station, Judge Kimball held a brief whispered conversation with the officer who happened to be on duty at the time, and the woman was inviied to a seat in Lieut. Amiss’ room. After becom- ing comfortably seated she was requested to tell the officer her troubles, which she did. rl The latter suggested that she needed the protection which she could get there; that they had a nice rocm‘which she could use, and there was a lady who would look after her and she would also” be safe from the indescribable being who, she said, kept following her. Judge Kimball mentioned that he thought the suggestion of the offi- cer an excellent one, and the woman said she also approged of it. For Striking His Father.
