New York, Oct, 15.[—Special Telegram to Tre Brr.]—The game at the polo grounds to-day was played under circumstances to Lmpel the players to do their best work. The spectators who came out to sce s good gume of base ball without friend or favor, num- bered ten thousand. They were not dis vpointed. They expected to see the St. Louis men make'a closer fight than they did, but 88 they witnessed the splendid fielding oxhi- bition of the Straft City club and tlie wonder- ful pitching of their Getzein, they could only admit that the victors were invincible this day and St. Louis must wait till some other day. To Getzein belongs the principal honor of the victory. His delivery was too much for the ordinarily clever batters in the oppos- fng team. When it is considered that of the whole nine from St. Louis only two men made clean hits and those in the last inning, It will be seen that Getzein was out as a ftcher and got there. On the other haid E;ou'z was hit frequently and hard, and w nile 0 Dotroits _carned six of their nine rons, the support Dave received at certain periods was discouraging. THE SCORE! DETROIT.

The directors of the Omaha Base Bali asso- elation held a meeting at Penrose & Hardin's sporting goods house last evening, but as wusual no actual business was transacted.

Probably the last game of the season was played yesterday on the old ball grounds, be- tween the Omaha and St. George clubs. The result was a victory for the Omahas by 54 runs. For the victors the batting of Messrs, Taylor, Roberts and Jopp was especiully worthy of notice, the latter gentleman initi- ating his performance with a magnificent hit to leg for 6. Mr. Taylor's contribution of 11 was the result of his usual care. The defeat of tho St. Georges was mainly due to their lack of practice, as that they have first class players among them cannot be denied, of which the bowling of Mr. Douglas and the batting of Mr, Robinson gives ample proof. Had the weather be little less boisterous the scores on both sides would have been larg: There is every evidence that next year, if the club can procure u ground, cricket will prosper in Omaha.

An Absurd Story Which Causes Much Amusement. ‘WasniNaroy, Oct. 15.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—The report that if Sam Ran- dall will oppose Carlisle in Lis contest with Thoebe he is assured that he shall have the chairmanship of the committec of appropria- tions is the subject of a great deal of amuse- ment among the friends of the Philadelphia congressman, They assert that the story is too absurd to warrant the slightest notice, and the only reason it is noticed at all is the persistence with which his enemies reiterate it. Mr. Randall's friends point out that in the contest between Frank Hurd and Josoph Romeis, in which the noted free trader attempted to securo a scat to which he had not been elected, the democrats were unable to unite in favor of seating the democrat and they argue from this that if an nttom{»'t is made to unseat Carlisle there will be enough republicans who will not participate in the movément to insure its defeat. They reason out thereforo that if Randall should attempt to defeat Carlisle on the floor of the house it would be impossible for him to carry enough demo- crats over with him to counteract the votes which Carlisle would gain from the republi- can side of the house. Further, they insist that “Sam” will not plead the baby act but if Carlisle attempts to_displace him he will find some other means of evening the score before the session close: Death to Birds. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—[Special Telegram to the Ber]—Professor Ridgway, the curator of birds at the Smithsonian institute, says that the specimen birds which were sent to him from New York, where they were found dead near the Bartholdi beacon light, are nearly all of the specie known as arblers.” They are inscctivorous. These birds are night migratory in their move- ments, and thousands have been attracted from all directions by the brilliancy of the light and killed by flying against the glass. He says that the scicntists fear that the destruction will be 80 great that the species will become extinct before many years. He also reports that there have been found a great many crows and wild ducks near the Washington monu- ment. They fly at dawn when the nests are thickest and are killed by contact with the monument, which is hidden in thecloud. He also reports that great numbers of wild geose > been uoticed flying over the city. This sserts is an infallible indication of an ud very severe winter, Pensions Granted.
