The Senators and the Orioles concluded their series at Baltimore yesterday, and, by winning the game by a score of 11 to 2, the birds made it an even break, each club taking seven games. Dineen pitched for the Washington men, and was hit for thirteen singles and a double, the Senators getting three singles and a three-bagger off Hughes. The game is thus described by the Baltimore Sun: Wagner's club, which in past years used to be one of the easiest propositions the Baltimores had to solve, has proved a sad stumbling block this year after the first few contests, and has been a big factor in kceping Baltimore behind Boston in the pennant race. Yesterday's game was a walkover for Hanlon’s men, and it seemed strange how the visitors ever managed to defeat them the day before at the capital. In fact, most of Baltimore's victories have been by overwhelming scores, but some- how the Senators have contrived to win most of the close games. ‘ it seems strange that the Orioies should have made in the whole series ninety-eight runs to Washington's forty-six and still seven of the fourteen games, but it is ‘The runs were lamentably badly di nted, from the standpoint of Balti- more’s championship hopes, but such anom- alies are not infrequent in base i. The Orinles play: good ball yesterday—a strong. aggressive, scientific game, especial- ly at bat. Hughes was in fine trim also, and the visitors only got four hits, one of which was a pure scratch. The game was so one-sided, however, that the interest dragged a little, in spite of the good play- ing. Kelley was still on the sick list, and Kit- son played center field. He led the team at bat, with three pretty singles out of five times at bat. The fielding feature of the game was a beautiful running catch by Freeman of Hughes’ liner in the third in- ning and the doubling of Clarke at first base. Freeman is remarkably fast on his feet and a hard hitter, and looks as if he could hold his own in league company. Pineen made a poor showing in the box, judged by results, but he has the earmarks of a coming pitcher. With proper coaching he would probably make a good man. The Orioles opened on him savagely at the start. With one out in the first inning Keeler singled, Jennings was hit, Kitson singled, MeGann was ‘hit and | Holmes singled, and all this, with De Montreville’s sacritice, Holmes’ steal and Farrell's bad runs. The game was throw, netted five won then and there. The Orioles did not stop, de two more runs in the however, but r ond inning on McGraw’s being hit, Keeler’s single, Jennings’ bunt and an error. McGraw got a pass in the n inning, stole second and and scored on a bad throw.

New York epens up a series with the lo- cals tomorrow. Freeman’s work at Baltimore yesterday was favorably criticised by the press of that city. Mercer played center in place of Gett- man, but “Winnie” was too far down the Ust to do effective work. He belongs up near the top. It will take all of Manager Irwin's diplo- matic skill to make a successful twirler out of Dineen. Perhaps another year with the Toronto club would do him good. “Jud” Smith is a decetving player at third. He apparently plays a slow game, i | the Dobbs-Roberson considering that he has } big league. Casey “belongs behind the bat, as he is weaker at third than Smith. From tae present outiook Farre!l, Mere cer, Gettman and Wrigley will be on the market the coming winter. Trades that will land a first-class man for first and also for short will probably be made. Philadelphia is about the only club that can spare a first baseman in Dougias, as Lajoie can fill the first bag all right; but perhaps Manager Irwin can induce Goekle tv come into the big league. The attack by Catcher Vaughn upon Um- pire Swartwood in Cincinnatl last Monday was one of the most dastardly outbreaks made by a player this season, and if the Magnates refrain from some action on the case they will be open to the greatest censure. Had players from either the Bal- timore, Cleveland or New Yorks been mix- have followed very quickly. The official organ of the Cincinnati ciub has been en- deavoring to gloss the affair over, but Ren Mulford, one of the squarest base ball writers in Cincinnati, was a witness of the assault, and says that Vaughn was en- Urely at fault. Mr. Brush can make a ten- strike y making an example of Vaughn. The season is not too long in this city. The cranks would keep pouring out here until snow Lime.—Hoston Herald. ‘The same condition applies to Washington and a ma- jority of the league cities with a club lead- ing the procession. It has just leaked out that Tim Hurst, the St. Louis manager, had another kind of trouble come his way during his re- cent visit to Louisville, when he refereed fight. Tim strayed into that part of the city which is illumi- nated by lurid lights and was relieved of a roll of $130. The Cleveland club Tuesday night pur- chased a new outfielder. He is Frefl Franks, who played center field for the Dayton Interstate League team this sea- son. Manager Armer of the Dayton clup arrived in Cincinnati Tuesday at the re- quest of Manager Tebeau, and the two had a conference at the Gibson House, which resulted in Tebeau purchasing Franks. ‘The ice paid is not known. He is one of the top-notch hitters in the interstate league, having an average of something like .350, He is said to be a fast fielder and a good man on the bases, Captain Duffy of the Champions has im- proved in his batting lately and has pulled up into the .300 class. ‘The general batting of the team has improved also. Four of the men are in the .300 class—Hamiilton, ; Collins, .326; Tenney, .825; Duffy, .301. Stahl and Bergen are close to .300, while Lowe about holds his own, with , and Long has climbed up about 25 points, his average now being .265.

MANAGERIAL CHANGES, Many Clubs Will Have New Men at the Helm Next Season. Thre will be several changes in the man- agement of National L close of this searon. Chicago will retain Burns, Watkins will remain with Pittsburg. Tebeau will be the Indians’ chief, wherever they are located, and Fred Clarke will be in charge of the Colonels for another year. Selee has agreed to pilot Boston again, Hanlon is a fixture at Baltimore and Arthur Irwin has signed a contract to handle the Senators.

The candidates for the foot ball team of the Maryiand Agricultural College are in aetive training. Most of the members of last year's eleyen are back. J. T. Henly has been elected captain in place of F. G. Bell, who will play with Swarthmore this year. Mr. R. J. MeCandlish will manage the foot bail team. The schedule of games has not yet been arranged. Manager MeCand- lish has arranged a partial schedule as fol- lows: October 15—Western Maryland College at Westminster. October 2—Gallaudet College at Wash- ington. October Park. November 12—St. John's College of An- napolis at CoMege Park. ‘These games will be for the intercollegi- ate foot ball championship of the state. Games will also be arranged with Rock Hill College, Baltimore Medical College, Episcopal High School and several high schools in Washington and elsewhere. A trip north during Thanksgiving week is also contemplated. There are about thirty candidates for po- sitions on the team this year. The college received the state champion- ship intercollegiate base ball pennant. They have held the flag for a number of years.

Makes Eliha Root | a Statement © Delegates of ligibility. Colonel Theodore “toosevelt was nom- inated for governor of New York by the republican state Jon tion which met at Saratoga yesterday ty“a big majority over Governor Black. Only one baliot was taker and the eount showed 735 votes fir Roosevelt and 218 for Black, the prescnt incumbent of the office. Following is the full ticket nominated by the conveniton: For governor—Th§ pdore Oyster Bay. For Heutenant, Woodruff of Kings. For controller—Wildam J. Morgan of Erie. + tt For secretary of siate—John T. McDon- ough of Albany. * For state treasuréJohn B. Jacckel of Cayuga. For state engineer—Edward A. Bond of Jefferson. For attorney general—John C. Davies of Oneida. A very full explanation ‘of the whole matter regarding Colonel Roosevelt's eligi- bility was made by Elihu Root from the piatform of the convention. Mr. Root’s ex- planation put a far different complexion on the status of Colonél Roosevelt's citizen- ship. It declared that Colonel Roosevelt is and has been a citizen of Oyster Bay; that he had never contemplated a longer residence in Washington than his official term of office, and that he had never ceased a day to be a voting citizen of the state of New York within the meaning of the constitution. Mr. Root also stated points of law bear- ing on this point, and showed to the entire satisfaction of the convention that Colonel Roosevelt had been voting in New York for many more than five suecessive years. Unquestionably the revelations and argu- ments of Mr. Root gave great relief to the convention and added to the zea! with which it made Colonel Roosevelt the nom- inee. The convention was enthusiastic and the centest between Roosevelt and Black on the floor did not assume such bitterness as had characterized the fight at the hotels outsid, Depew, Southwick, Wallace and others “whooped it up” for the colonel in fine style, and there were many evidences that Colonel Roosevelt. was the popular idol. But most of the speakers had kind words for Governor Black. So, too, the speakers for Governor Black had ‘something nice to say about Colonel Roosevelt, but they ask- ed why the governor should be set aside. The governor's vote was smaller in New York and Kings county than had been ex- pected, but quite a good showing in view of the confessed hopelessness of the cause. Depew'’s Nominating Speech. Chauncey M. Depew, who made the speech nominating Col. Roosevelt, said in part: The wildest dream ever born of the im- agination of the most optimistic believer in our destiny couli! not) foresee when Mc- Kinley was elected two years ago the on- rushing torrent of events of the past three months.

Successful ¢ sicns into the literature of the ranch and the hunting for big game had opened up for him the present resources and bound- less possibilities of the United Stat The wife of a cabinet officer told me that when Assistant Rooseve! anh- noun that he had determined to resign and raise a regiment for the war, some ot the ladies in the administration circle thought it their duty to remonstrate with him. They said: “Mr. Roosevelt, you have six children, the youngest a few months old and the eldest not yet in the teens. While the country is full of young mea who have no such responsibilities, and are eager to enlist, you have no right to leave the burden upon your wife of the care, support and bringing up of that fam- ily.” Roosevelt's answer was a Roosevelt answer: “I have done as much as any one to bring on this war, because I believed it must come, and the sooner the better, and now that war is declared I have no * ght to ask others to do the fighting and stay at home myself.” Fer this year, for this crisis, for the voters ef the empire state, for the young men.of the country and the upward, on- ward and outward trend of the United States, the candidate of candidates is the hero of Santiago, the idol of the Rough Riders—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. The governor accepted his deféat with a good grace. He -ongratulated Colonel Roosevelt, is satisfied Mr. Root cleared up the question of his eligibility, and will be found working for the colonel harder than any other republican. There was little interest In the remainder of the ticket, which was nominated at night. Lieutenant Gevernor Timothy L. Wood- ruff was renominated by acclamation. The only contest was over the attorney general. John C. Davies of Oncida bowled former Judge Kellogg of St. Lawrence out by a vote of 741 tg 229. The other nomina- tions were made ynanimously. The republican stktd committee re-elected Representative Hérjamin B. Odell, jr., chairman. Mr. Odell"is the man who has so skillfully manage@?the canvass of Col- onel Roosevelt.
