"Washington at Boston. Brooklyn at Baltimore. Philadelphia nt NewYorlr. . t- Boston, Aug. 16. Thomas Two Lung Tucker, tire hero of many a fklrmish ou the toutb end grounds in the days when he was member of the Boetonb, was a unique figure in the game today with Washing ton, willed) Boston won by a score of 5 to 2. Tucker vns given a great reception from the small gathering, and Ills store of base ball -eloquence which he poured forth throuKhout the entire contest was amusing Id the final inning whn the Senators scored two runR. Tommy danced with joy at the glimmer of -victory The Senator were beaten purely by Nicliols effectiveness. The "Kid,'' arter his long re6t, pltclied wonderful ball, and ecren Innings Wrigley was the only mem ber of the "Washington team who could find the Boston pitcher. Jimmy McJainca was In great shape, and had the youngster been backed up by; a little stick work in the beenth, sixth and fourth Inidngs, he would have probably won his game. Mc3arr.es performed one of the greatest pitching feats wen In Boston this season. In' the eighth inning, with the bases full and two hands out, he struck out Capt. Duffy on three pitched balls, after three balls hail bien called. The lieavy Boston hitter Chick Stabl, fell before him twice, and only in the sixth inning was he found to 'any extent. Of the eight hits scored against him, three were made by Hamilton The lnlter's two-bagger Was a scratch, and his single in the third was a fluke. Al. Selbach played a great game in the lipid, while McGuire and DeMontreville fclso fielded well. Abbey's abhlst in the pxth inning, when tie threw out Nicholas from deep right at the plate, was one of the features. The Beancaters were first to score Washington Tetlred, Hamilton bit along the third ufc line Tor two bags. The ball looked foul,2iud Capt. Brown made a long I1ck, which Enihlie refused to recognize. O'Brien's fumble scored Hamilton. The next thrrc batters went out in order, Me James striking out Duffy . The visitors were completely at sea with Nichols shoots for four innings. In the third inning, with jone hand gone, Wrig ley drove the first hit. Duffy let the ball get away from him, which put Wrigley on eeond. He played away off the base and Bergen with one of his lightning drives caught JUm napping. lif the last half of -the third Inning Boston scored one run. NJchols led with a hit and Hamilton heat out an attempt ed sacrifice. Tenney's sacrifice advanced each runner, Nichols scoring on "Long's fly to the outfield. Duffy was last out on a fly to Brown. In the fonrth for "Washington, with one handtont. Brown drew a base, but was forced on DeMontrevHIe's grounder to Long. DeMontroUlle, in attempting to pilfer second -was easily out. In the lai4.df.the fourth, McJames struck ouo Btahl. Lowe and Collins, being unable to do an j thing with his curves, were re tired. In the first half of tbo sixth, Wash ington with a little nerve would have tied the score. There was ote man out when "Wrigley found Nichols for his second blt A passed hall advanced him to third licJntnPS fanned, and Selbach drew a base. Eelbach'ttupldly tried to steal second, and Instead of being doubled between the lines ran right into the arms of Long, who received the throw from Bergen, and was out by ten feet. In the last half of the sixth for Boston lie James was hit the hardest. He gave Collins a base on balls, which was fol lowed by singles of Lowe, Bergen and KiCjbuls,,wJiich fcored Collins and Lowe Bergen came home on Nichols hit. After Hamilton had filed to Selbach Nichols tried U( make the plate on 'Tenney'b hit to Abbey, and -was neatly thrown out. The total five runs ended Benton's scoring, und after this inning McJames was notr hit safely. In the seventh Waj,liington had another chance. Nichols struck out,Brown. DeMontreville and McGuire hit for singles, but both runners vere left on weak hits to the infield. In .the hist inning Nichols could not suit Belbach, Brown singled, and on Stahl' error Selt.acn crossed the plafe with the first run Brown reached second on the error, and after two bauds were gone he scored wjth the second run on Tucker's timely hit to left.

BnOOKLYNS GO TO PIECES. Pat TJp a Farcical Game Against the Champions. Baltimore, Aug. 16. -The game put up by Brooklyn today would have made any amateur club in the country hang their headb in shame. The game was simply a farce after the fourth inulng. In the fifth and sixth it simply rained errors. Kennedy pitched a much better game than the score shows, but he, too, gave up the ghost. The Champions Paw that" victory was easily theirs and did not half try. Burrell's home run drive in theslxth inning was the only feature. Score: Baltimore. R. H.PO.A.E.

Pretty good ,record for an old timer Prooklyn played amateur ball yesterday, and to say thut Bamlo was wrathy is put ting it lightly . Zeke Wrigley landed on Nichols freer than any other Senator. He did not handle a ball, however. The Chicago club Is slowly but surely working It way to the front, and is now Cle eland's closest competitor. The New Yorks will have a stretch or tl.irty-sK games on the home grounds These Include rix of the postponed games Considerable talk Is hud In New York ubout Manager Joyce's lay-off of Tier nan. There is a clamor for McCreery to play lefl. The New Yorks have won twenty-four gdines from Washington, Brooklyu, nnd St. Louis, very nearly half of the number won the whole season. They defeated Washington seven times. Geier Is In the bad graces of the Quaker rooters. Aftr being guyed for a brace xt errors In the second, he -walked over to the right fiflii bleHCuers and blackguarded them. A big policeman went upon the field and made him stop, to the delight of Ids tormentors Then, when Geier caught Doyle's fly in the second, the derisive ap plause he received was more aggravating than the hoots at hh errors. The umpire question will never be settled by fining, the players. The only remedy is to strike at the root or the evil, and impost neavy fines upon the managers of the offending teams. There Is eer 'talnly a majority of the league board who are in lavor of playing thegaineupon its merits. Patrons of the sport in such cities as New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago will not stand the disgracelul exhibitions that have marred the game this ear The respectable element in the board should organize and wipe out the evils which are slowly but surely bringing baseball Into disrepute New York Journal.

Chiefly by reason of its newness and of a certain cosmopolitan aspect, the Kan sas town dlrfers from villages elsewhere in the United States, and presents a few inteiestlng variations from the common type. The largest townln the common wealth lias hardly forty thousand inhabi tants. Most of the county seats In the eabtcru half ottlie State, wherethe rainfall Is copious, and where crops are bountiful and regular, contain about three thousand persons each. The county.seat is In the strictest scn.c a country town. Thelnhnb itants live almost entirely upon the tribu tary country. There are no factories. The money that the furmersof thecountyspend for food, clothing, fuel and the comforts of the faim home is the cash capital upon which the town docs its business. This capital is pased from the grocers to the clothing merchants, to th druggists, to the furniture dealers, to the hardware sellers, und to professional men. In the older communities of tlte Eastern and Middle States', necessities lias dcvj-loped far lories, which convert raw material Into finished piodtictat. and money from the outside -vorld comes in. But Kansas is yet hardly a generation eld, andlt h&s not entered the manufacturing era of Industry. -Atlantic.

Parker, Bridget & Co., Clothiers, 315 7th St. nWLlQuFOH Hundreds of Men Apply Where Only Fifty Are Needed. POLICE DISPERSE THE CROWD A "Want Ad. In the Newspapers Over whelms the Tiber CreeR Sewer Contractor "With Applicants Re markable Sceue ut Garfield Park Views of Local Ijitaor lenders. In response to an advertisement in the local newspapers for laborers, Contractor Murphy, who Is in charge of tha con struction ot the Tiber Creek and Nev Jersey avenue sewer, jvas yesterday morn ing overrun bj' applicants seeking work "Mr. Murphy advertised for fifty laborers, but when he arrived at the place where work on the sewer was begun he found over 500 men waiting for him, clamoring for nn opportunity ro work The contractor could only utliize fifty men, so the others were compelled to leave without employ ment Ic took Mr. Murphy but a short time to 6elect thobe whom he desired from among the crowd. The applicants were J lined up and as he rapidly walked down the line, he called out those he wanted The others adjourned to Garfield Park, tear by to nurse their disappointment, while some followed Mr. Murphy begging for work. Under the condition which Mr. Murphy is compelled to prosecute the excavation for the laying of the sewer, it Is impossible for him to use more than fifty laborers at a time. Notwithstanding I this tLe disappointed applicants lingered around und finally became so Importunate as to make it necessarj- for Mr. Murphy to call on the polite to disperse them. The men went in a body to Garfield Parle but did not remain there long, but soon went to their several homes. The men though greatly disappointed were very orderly, theie being no boisterous or joud tulking. - Most, of them had been out of work a longtime, and nob a few of them had fami lies at home suffering for the actual neces saries of life. One Intelligent and neat looking white worklngman said: "God knows I need work badly enough. My lent Is overdue, andl have alrejdy bad notice Ut vacate the ho use I live In, and my children need food. "I hear some people say times are get ting bettei. I wish I could see it, but in all the jearsl have lived here I never suffered for food before." Contractor Murphy bald to a Times re porter that he was compelled to have the men move out of the park, as they actually lnterfered with the work on the sewer- The Mg towers over which the cable car rying the scoop shovels Is to run, were be ing erected yesterday, and it was feared that some of the men might be injured, as they were standing almost under them The matter was a subject of general dis cission in labor circles last night. The leaders were erj- outspoken on the sub ject and are satisfied that something must be done, and that soon, to relieve the situa tion. The scene jesterdayat Garfield Parle is, ihej say, being enacted day after day in all parts of the country, and is Uie best eidence in the world that the promised prosperity wave has not struck the coun try i ct. Mr. Milford Spohn, president of the Central Labor Vnion, said? -'The affair j-eterday morning at Gar field Park, where hundreds of honest workingmen were found by Mr. Murphy waiting to beg for work proves many things. First, it proes conclusively that the men who are often seen standing on thf street corners, and who are generallv looked upon as "oIuntary idlers, would gladly work it given the opportunity It procs also that ah the twaddle heard abonr the wave .of pretpcrlty and the re vival of industries is false, for if these men whom it is proen are willing to work could find employment elsewhere they would not remain here " This condition, Mr. Spohn said, doe not only afreet the common laborer. The skill ed workmen is affected as well, and there 'are huudredo who are walking the streets d ly after day who cannot find work at any price. Mr. A. 11. Lawson, master workman of District Assembly No. Gd, Knights of Labor, said the circumstance showed plainly that the laboiing men of the city were ac tually hungering for work. The state Of affairs, however, he said, were just such as the capitalists wanted, and thej- would do nothing to improve the conditions un less it was to materially affoct their own Interests. It was onlj- another phase of the war betw;eea muscle and improved machinery, and was. & striking evidence that the hours of labor In every trade und calling must be reduced to guarante" the Common people an honest living when put In competition with labor-saviug ma chines.
