KOT A .VERY EXCITING GAME
The All Americans Defeat Captain Anson's flayers by a Decisive Score. Indifferent Work of the Chieajos 3Iore Than Excellence of Opponents Give the Latter a Victory Games of the Association. The Chicago and All-American base-hall tourists arrived hero from Cleveland, yesterday mo rain?, and stopped at the NewJJcnison. The travelers were given no imblio reception, but during the forenoon frnany friends of the players called to see them. They were kept busy shaking hands and telling of their great trip around the world until 2 o'clock, when tho two teams, in uniform, took carriages, and headed by the When band, paraded tho principal down-town streets bafore going to the ball grounds. The band, located in the grand pieces, and promptlylat 8:30 O'clock thO AllAmericana went to the bat and were retired in quick order. "When John Ilealy took his place in the box tho 1,200 spectators ' encouraged him with an enthusiastic round of applause. However, when the smoke had cleared Away at the end of the first inning and Chicago had sent four men around the bases, by virtue of terrific stick work, the crowd smiled, and as one man remarked that Indianapolis- had made no mistake when tho Egyptian was exchanged for "Whitney. It is altogether probable that Ilealy made no special effort to hold his opponents down, but it was generally thought that ho wonld do his best under tho circumstances. Let that be as it may, Mr. Healy's delivery was hit hard and often, and with any kind of ball playing but the worst on tho part of the Chicago, the All-Americans would have been easily defeated. Anson made a wretched showing behind the bat and several other members of his team distinguished themselves Xy poor work in the field On the other hand the All-Americans played well and batted Tener hard, who never was and never will bo a good ball player., Of course tho crowd was in'lferent as to the result, and there was reaity little in the game to merit admiration. In fact it was rather tiresome, and the spectators were glad when the end came. Mr. Spalding deserves great credit, liowever. for his enterprise in making the tour around the world, and from that standpoint too much cannot be said in his favor. The game opened with Ryan at the bat, and he remained there only a moment before he led off with a three-base hit and came home on Sullivan's double. Duffy followed with one of tho same kind, but was put out trying to reach third base. Anson was satisfied with a single, but Pfefferwas more ambitious and knocked out a two-base hit. and the big captain went to third. Burns, to get even with Ityan, put the ball over Crane's head and took three bases, lie was left, howover, as the next two men wero retired, and Ilealy looked relieved. The Chicago team had thus gained a lead that should haye given them the game, but Tener lacked speed and control. To make Siiativvio r uinU tuo utuv nciif putts wo und him. Carroll reached first on Kyan's high throw, and Wood got a grounder past first, on which he reached second. Fogarty went out at first. On Manning's grounder Carroll was thrown out at the ilate, but Earle put the ball over the fence. Chicago let down in the work at this point, jmd although the players continued to bat Ilealy. the hits were not timely, and the Chicago failed to get but one more run dnring the game, which was made in the Jfth on Kyan's 6ingio and adoublo byAneon. In the fourth the All-Americans scored a run. a baso on balls, an error and Earle's single. Five more were added in the seventh, when Tener let down and his support went to pieces. Ilealy reached first on Ryan's error, and second on a passed ball. Crane struck out and Ward sent a liv ball to Daly. Brown made a single ana went : to second on slow handling of the ball and oor judgment on the part of the fielder. Carroll followed with a fino two-base drive, sending both runners home and crossed the plat himself when Wood mado a single. The latter stole second and scored on Fogarty's hit, who in turn got to third by clever base-running and tallied on Burns's tumble of Manning's grounder. The last named stole two bases but was left by Karle'sout. Both sides were blanked in the eighth and ninth and the score remained as follows:

The Hoosiers and Toledos will arrive here from Lafayette this morning, and play at tho League park this afternoon. The visitors seem to have pnt up a good game against the League team yesterday, and tho contest this afternoon will be one well worth seeing. Boyle and Buckley will bo in the points for the home nine, and Smith and Sage will do battery service forToledo. The game will be called at S0 o'clock; Remarks from Capt Anson. A Journal reporter had a long talk with Captain Anson, of tho Chicago team, yesterday, and found the big first-baseman in a very happy frame of mind. He spoko in glowing terms of the great trip around tho world, just ended, and expressed the opinion that it would never bo duplicated by any one. It was a grand success, he said, and would bo the means, he thought, of introducing base-ball in Australia and England. The people there are fond of all kinds of athletic sports, and that they will ortranize ball teams is almost a sure thing. Why," continued Captain Anson, "they told rue that within three years thev would Bend a club to America that could beat ours, and I shall not be surprised if they make good their statement." "How about the Chicago!" They will bo in the field, never fear. I signed none of the men who wero on tho trip, and shall not try until we get home. From a player's stand-point I do not like tho classification system, and do not know how it will work with our men." "Are you in tho race!" "Always, my boy; and if I get all my men now under reserve to 6ign Chicago will bo around when the pennant is given out at tho close of the season. We will beat New York and Boston both out. The latter club made a great mistake when it let Morrill go and kept Kelly. The public is very much down on tho latter, and the former is remarkably popular in that city. Boston has too many stilf-kneed old men in he r team, and they are rather slow." "Will you trade Kyaii for Fogartyl" "Cannot answer that question just yet. Wo will have to wait until wo get some of our men signed iirst Philadelphia wants Kyan, and has made a proposition for him, but the deal is not made yet." "What do you think of tho Indianapolis teanit" "Well, the Hoosiers ought to play good ball this 6eason. Getzeiu will strengthen the team, and the club is otherwise strong." Anson was asked what he thought of tho deal between Washington and Indianapolis, but the old man smiled and said nothing. "Healy has pitched good ball for tho All-Ainericaus," he enid, "and if ho is not a Strong pitcher, then 1 am mistaken." VDo any of your men want to get away from Chicago this season!" "Not that I 'know of. All of this talk cheut tho Chicago slayers being tired of
tho team and me as a manager is false.
Thero never was a ball nlaver who did not want to play in Chicago, and the man who cannot work under me can worn nnuer no manager. No nlaver. however, is necessary to the existence of the Chicago team. If we loso ono man we can lill his place with another. In short, tho Chicago club will always bo in the held no matter what happens." A Statement from Mr. 8paldlng. A. G. Spalding, who was here yesterday with the base-ball tourists and was with them when, as has been alleged, they were snubbed by President Harrison in Wash ington a few days ago, denied that anything of the kind occurred, and said that the published reports of the affair were grossly exaggerated and altogether wrong. Wo had an engagement to call upon the President at 11 o'clock," said Mr. Spalding to a reporter last night, "but we received word that the hour would have to bo changed, and, if possible, he would like to have us call immediately. All of the players being present we started at once and reached the President's office soon after 10 o'clock. Wo were kindly received by some one and in a few moments after our arrival we were admitted to the President's room. We did not have to wait an hour, as has been published. President Hamson was very uusy, and explained that he had planned an excursion with his wife and some friends, and that it was about time for the party to start. I asked him previously, however, if he could not attend the ball game, but he declined for tne reasons already given. He did not say that it wa beneath the dignity of a President to witness a game of ball. On the contraryi he said he would bo pleased to go if he had not made other arrangements; that he often went to the games in Indianapolis and enjoved them very much. I cannot see how the statement that we were snubbed got started, as there was no foundation for it. Some of the players feel that they were not cordially received, but I do not think as thev do, and I have no reason whatever to feel offended at the President on account of the short audience he gave us." The Game at Lafayette. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lafayette, April 18. Tho base-ball season opened here this afternoon with a game between the Indianapolis League team and the Toledos.

"We are waiting for you," said Glasscock to Anson, yesterday, "and we will make it pleasant for you wnen we meet. 'NVish j'ou would catch when you play ns. Wo would just walk from first to second and then beat the ball." The Chicago and All-Am eric an ball teams left for Chicago early this morning, over the Monon. The car was handsomely decorated. A special -will meet tho rejrular train iust out of Chicago, and great prepa
rations have been made to receive the returning tourists. Ryan savs he does not want to leave Chicago. "All things being equal," he said yesterday, "I would rather play in Chicago than any other place. Philadelphia has made me an oner, and I want to see what Chicago will do. It is simply a matter of money with me. Do I like the classification system! Not a bit of it. It is all wrong unless they classify every man, in the business." THE FREE KINDERGARTENS.

A serious and most alarming accident occurred on tho Boylstbn-street bridge, at tho Back Bay, about 10:80 Tuesday morning, George Lenox, coachman for the Hon. A. A. Eanney, of Chester square, was driving his employer's span of horses, attached to the family carriage, across Boylston bridge. As the horses were turned to cross the street, it appears from the account given that they stepped upon the conduit containing tne electrio wires of the West End railroad. Suddenly both animals fell with horrible screams to the pavement, where they lay perfectly rigid. With the assistance of Captain Conway and his men of ladder company No. 15, tho driver loosed the horses from the carriage and drew them oif the tracks. They immediately sprang to their feet, and, with piercing screams, broke furiously away from the men, avoiding all attempts at capture. One of the pair was at last found in Brookline, and the other near his stable in the city. Private Bath-Rooms of Prominent Women. New York Letter In Kansas City Journal.

Sitka Letter. A curious incident in connection with the attempt to Christianize the Alaskan Indians here occurred to-day. It is quite generally known that the Presbyterian board of missions maintains a mission school here, and has a sort of industrial annex patronized by Elliott F. Shepard. A small building, used as a carpenter and shoemaker shop, is emblazoned with a big sign, "Elliott F. Shepard Industrial Building." To-day thirteen Indians, who have been attending the mission school and were regarded as proselytes, were baptized and admitted into the Uneco-liusxian Church by Father Denscqy. the parish priest. 1 sought out some of these Indians to ascertain their motives for this remarkable course. One of the most intelligent of them replied that "when Russian Indian sick tho priest coino and see him and do for Lira, but when mission Indian sick no one como near him."

We are enabled, fi already published, t stantial exactness t' gage indebtedness i the data we have "inarize with subcnt of tho mort.e Western farms, .at the real facts be It is quite lmportan known, so that no false alarm shall be ere atcd and no social discontent shall be en gendered. Tho most absurd statements havo been propagated for political effect As is well known, it has been positively asserted, and wickedly and falsely as well, that the Western fanners of this country are generally bankrupt, are losing money and being eaten up by mortgages and taxes. All this bogus calamity has been cooked up for the purpose of charging it to protection. Wo fortunately havo official figures enough, from tho States forming the great central wheat and corn bolt, to net at rest all these vicious inventions. The sizo and quality of tho fabrications in this line maybe learned from a single example. During the campaign the New York Times asserted that the farm mortgages in Illinois amounted to $020,000.000; the St. Louis Kepublic put it at $3,000,000,000. It now appears from the report of the Bureau of Labor Statisticstthat the total mortgage indebtedness on Illinois farms 4ss l23,7&5,003. Of this sum .GS.OTi is for deferred payments on the purchase money. The indebtedness for loans is only 10.52 per cent, on the census valuation ot 1S80, and the average rate of interest 6,90 per cent, 'annum. And, what will grieve and perplex the free-trade alarmists. 00 percent, of this mortgage debt is owned in the Stat of Illinois. - From Nebraska a gentleman of intelligence writes us: "Fifteen years ago central and western Nebraska were an unbroken prairie. Today they are covered with line farms, with industrious and energetic farmers located thereon. Lands in this State havo rapidly increased in value, and in order to make improvements farmers have rather increased than diminished the amounts loaned on their places." . From Minnesota a prominent State officer savs. fAll our farmers, nearly, commenced without any capital, and were obliged to mortgage their lands in order to build and improve. The low price of wheat and other farm produce, all over tho world, makes It still harder for the English farmer, though in a free-trade country. I think a just and equitable protective tariff, without discrimination against the farmer, will greatly help the farmers of this Stato." From Iowa, and officer in the Department of Stato assures us, among other things, that: Tho State of Iowa was never more prosperous than it is at tho present time, and tho people of Iowa, and especially the farmers, seem to be well satislied to continue the same 'evils that tho lecturer re f crs to as tarilf taxes.' " In Michigan, we learn from tho current report of the Bureau of Labor that thero are 1K),803 farms. Their assessed valuation is l'J4,v4.G33. They are mortgaged to tho amount of $37,45fl,S72, being 19.2 per cent of their assessed valuation. ill UUlUiib nua tuiitru maw vuo umjiiago indebtedness was $700,000,000.

That one-fourth of tho farms of Ohio aro incumbered, either slightly or more heavily, in part to secure debts to neighboring farmers or to retired farmers living in town. It is questionable whether much more than a tenth of the real value of Ohio farms is mortgaged. Ohio fanners are rRih. I fully believe, from an extensive and special knowledge of tho iinancial situation of Ohio farmers, that their investments in town or village property, in bonds or railroad stock, and shares in manufacturing and mining enterprises, exceed in valno the entire indebtedness of farmers, whether covered by mortgage or not' Mr. Atkinson, the well-known economic, writer, took occasion to investigate tho matter from the side of tho Mortgage Loan companies. His conclusions were published in Bradstreet's f or Nov. 12, 1S37. Hero aro some of them: "The reduction in tho rato of interest has been from 10 per cent annual interest and 10 per cent, commission on a live years' mortgage to an average of 6 1-2 to 7 1-2 per cent at tho present timo, without commission." "Many of those to whom loans were first made are now lenders through the 6amo corporations." "The present conditions indicate widespread and almost universal prosperity." . All the testimony is of the highest character, and these conclusions are reached by sober-minded, reflecting men. Thev ought to satisfy and quiet the professional agitators who are trying to do the work of tho Cobden Club. The farmer, as a rule, knows very well that individually, he is in no danger of a foreclosure and tne sheriff. It will be soma comfort to him to know that his neighbor in the next county is exempt from the liko visitations. The "lecturers" of our friends, the grangers, ought to rejoice that their own occupation is gone, and cease their whining, which at best is only an imputation upon the manliness of tho Western farmer. Exposing a Campaign Lie. Boston Journal. During tho presidential campaign, the free-trade papers, in order to show that the country was going to ruin under protection, greatly exaggerated the number of Western farm mortgages. The New York Times, for, example, placed the amount of such mortgages in Illinois at $i20,O00.(O0, and the St Louis Kepublic at 3,OCW.O0O.O00. The report of the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, however, shows that the total mortgage indebtedness on the farms of the State is only $123,7S3,a. which is only about 10.52 pt cent, on the census valuation. Of this mortgage debt; moreover, IX) per cent is held in tho State of Illinois. The Boomer's Song.
