Boutons Mnde Seven Errors and Did Not Hit nt Right Time. BROOKLYN, Oct. 2.—The Bostons, the National League champions, and the Brooklyns brought the season of 1897 to a close at Eastern Park this afternoon. Incidentally it was the last league game that will ever be played in Brooklyn, for when the clubs begin their battle in 1898 Brooklyn will be part and parcel of Greater New York. The weather was not the kind that is suitable to baseball fans. It was quite chilly, but in spite of this 2 r 097 persons assembled with the intention of giving the Beaneaters a send-off. But those who came to the grounds for this purpose returned home disappointed, for Manager Selee shipped Long, Lowe, Tenney, Collins, Bergen and ali his pitchers, excepting Lewis and Stivetts, to Boston immediately after Thursday’s game was finished and the championship assured. When the Bostons lined up to-day they were hardly recognizable as a team. OuUlde of the battery Hamilton was the only player in his proper position. The Brooklyns were not much better off. They- had to bring Hanivan from Newark to cover left held. Still Brooklyn had the better team, which counts for their easy victory. Lewis, w r no is slated to go against the Bostons in one of the Temple cup series, did himself to any great extent, which accounts for the number of hits. Fisher had ali of the Bostons, excepting Stahl and Stivetts, guessing. The latter made himself solid with the crowd by cracking out a single, triple and home run. His fourth crack would have resulted in a three-bugger but for a wonderful onehanded catch by Hanivan. Griffin led at the stick for Brooklyn. Sheckard earned a berth for next season when he hit for two home runs. He also fielded brilliantly. Brooklyn closed the season bn even terms with Washington for sixth place. Score: Brooklyn. A.B. R.

Baltimore Loot the Last. BALTIMORE, Oct. 2.—The baseball season closed here to-day with a dull and uninteresting game between the ex-champions and the Senators, in which the latter were victorious, mainly because their antagonists apparently made no effort to win. Less than two hundred people saw the contest, wfflich was played under lowering skies and in the teeth of an east wind that caused the spectators to shiver on the benches. There was an occasional burst of applause from a few of the “old guard,” who came to see the end of the season’s playing, and from a small but energetic body cf Washingtonians, who had places in the grand stand back of the visitors’ bench, but aside from this there was no enthusiasm. Bresnehan started in to pitch for the Senators, but the Orioles fell on him in the second inning for three earned runs and he gave way to the attenuated Mr. Swaim, who did much better during the remainder of the game. The visitors’ run in the first was a clean case of steal on Selbach’s part, that energetic young man having run in from third while Amole and Clarke were musing over their agility in having put McGuire out at first. When they aroused themselves Selbach was safe. The home team then took the lead and held it until the fourth inning, when the visitors found Amole's pitching to their liking and three doubles and two singles brought in four runs. After that no one seemed to take the slightest interest in the game, and Umpire Hurst called it at the end of the eighth inning, without any apparent reason other than that lie was tired of it. All others concerned felt the same way, and the season of 1897 closed with a defeat for the “threetime winners.” Score: Baltimore. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

The men are Jack Crooks, Frank Genins and Pete Daniels. Crooks is a secbnd baseman, Genius is a clever outfielder and Daniels a good pitcher. In addition to these, he has secured a pitcher named Kostal, who was with Louisville last year and the Central League this year.

WILL ILAY HERE. Baltimore and All-American Team* Rooked for Indianupoli*. BROOKLYN, Oct. 2.—Managers Barnie, of Brooklyn, and Selee, of Boston, to-day completed all arrangements for the transcontinental tour of the ex-champion Baltimores and the All-Americans. The players making up the latter team have been ordered to report at the Grand Central Hotel, New York city, Thursday afternoon. The Ail-Aineri-cans will play the first game with the Brooklyns at Eastern Park next Saturday, none of the Boston members of the team appearing in this game. The team will play a game in Hoboken Sunday, Oct. 10, after which the All-Americans will rest until after the Temple cup series is finished. The following schedule will then be carried out: Oct. 14, at Frostburg, Md.; 15. Pittsburg; 16, Columbus; 17, Cincinnati; 18. Dayton; 19, Indianapolis; 20, Peoria, 111.; 21, Cedar Rapids, la.; 22, St. Joseph. Mo.; 23. St. Louis: 24, Kansas City; 25, Topeka. From Oct. 26 until Nov. 8 the two teams will play in the leading cities in Texas, after which they proceed to Los Angeles, St. Bernardino, San Diego, and thence to San Francisco and vicinity. All of the Baltimores with the exception of Robinson and McGraw will go on the trip. Mike Griffin, of Brooklyn, will take MeGraw’s place. The All-Americans will be in charge of Manager Selee and Captain Tebeau. The players selected are: Donahue, Chicago: Hastings, Pittsburg; Duffy, Collins, Long, Stahl, Boston; Burkett, Cleveland. and Dahlen, of Chicago. Billy Barnie will have charge of the Baltimores. The Hnrns-MeLeod Match. The great world’s championship match between “Farmer” Burns and Dan McLeod is to take place here Tuesday night, Oct. 26, at the Grand Opera House. Omaha made a strong bid for the big match, but Indianapolis landed it after considerable work on the part of Dickson & Talbott. Burns is training lure and McLeod is hard at work at Broad Ripple. This match will be catch-as-eatch-can. Burns defeated McLeod at Davenport. la., last March, and the latter is after all the revenge he can get. Cap Game Receipts. Last Sunday's game at Columbus netted the tw’o teams a little over SI,OOO in all. The four games thus far have brought them nearly $2,500, and to-day’s games at Columbus should bring the amount to $3,000, giving them probably $75 each after all expenses are paid. At Toledo they cleared sl3 each. Baltimore V*. All-Americans Here. The Baltimores and the All-Americans will stop off here Tuesday, Oct. 19, on their way to California, and play at the Ohiostreet grounds. The two teams are going to make a tour of California and Mexico, putting in part of the winter with games in these comfortable latitudes. HALF MlLe'iN 1:01 3-4. Fast Time by William Penn in Springfield Free-for-All Trot. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct. 2.—Another world's record was broken at the state fair grounds on Friday besides the pacing racing record and the trotting record for 1597 for a mile. The last half trotted by William Penn, the winner in the free-for-all trot, 1:01%, was the fastest last half ever made by a trotter either in a race or against time, tiie previous record being where Alix made her record mile of 2:08%. in 1v94,l v 94, at Galesburg, 111., when she trotted the last half in 1:02%. Opening Day at Latonfa. CINCINNATI, 0.. Oct. 2.—A great crowd turned out to see the opening day’s racing of the Latonia Jockey Club to-day. The track was fast but deep in dust, which caused the downfall of a number of favorites. There were nine books on, and all did a most profitable day’s business. The two first races on the card went to extreme outsiders. The Tobacco stakes, .it a mile, had but three starters in it. and Simon W. had no trouble in winning from Panchita 11. He w ent out at the drop of the tlag and led all the way. Fuiuou* Sire Dead. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 2.—lmp.

ONE INNING SETTLED IT ♦ • THE ROOMERS STARTED THE GAME WITH EIGHT It! AS. Took Their Third Straight A ietory from Colombo* In the Free Pres* Cup Series. a The champions t<*ok the fourth cup game —their third straight victory—yesterday so easily that there was very little interest attached to it. Two thousand people watched the operation and were well satisfied with the result, even if the game itself was too one-sided to afford much real sport. Phillips pitched one of his old-time games and the Columbus men hit him safely but five times. Only ten of them reached first base and he had them well in hand at all times. His support was fast and almost errorless, the only mistake being a wild throw by Hogriever that let in the. first Columbus run. All hands played good ball. "Bumpus” Jones finally had one of his off days. He has had very few of them this season, but yesterday “Bump” slipped a cog or two in the first inning and then it -■was all over. A triple, a double, five singles, a home run, two gifts, a wild pitch, a passed ball and a bad throw by Crooks—all this happened in the first inning and it placed the game away beyond reach of the Senators. After that Jones pitched pretty fair ball, but it was too late and besides Phillips was at his best. The Columbus outfield had plenty to do, and Mertes and Frank pulled down several drives that looked good for three bases. Jones was well enough supported in the field, even if Columbus did present a crippled team, Buckley being at first, Genins at third and Wolters in left. WON IT IN THE FIRST. After Hogriever had rolled one to Buckley and gone to the bench, rather an unusual start for George, the fireworks began. Gray was passed to first, ar.d McFarland followed with a three-bagger along the left foul line, scoring him. A wild pitch let McFarland in. McCarthy hit to center for a base, and was given a life at second by Crooks's wild throw of Motz’s grounder. Wood and Stewart followed with hits and Flynn with a two-bagger to left, four more runs coming In. Phillips flew to right and Flynn reached third on the out. Hogriever hit to rightcenter for a home run. Gray placed a safe one in left. McFarland walked and McCarthy’s hot liner was too much for Jones, though he knocked it down. With the bases filled Motz hit to Crooks, forcing McCarthy at second. Columbus scored one in the last half, Hulen and Mertes hitting safe and Genins waiting for four wide ones. With the bases full Hogriever captured Frank's line fly hit, made a high throw' to first, letting Hulen in. Buckley fouled to Gray and Crooks struck out. The champions got this one back in the fourth, when, with one out, Motz walked, reached second on a wild pitch, third on a passed ball and home on Wood’s ily to Mertes. Stew art hit to right for a base, but Flynn flew to center. The last Columbus run was scored in the sixth, w hen Frank was passed to first and came around on Crooks's three-bagger to right. Buckley and Wolters struck out, and Fisher fouled to Wood. The champions ran their score into double figures in the seventh, when Stewart opened with a hit to center. Flynn struck out, but Phillips drove one clean and hard to right, and Frank let the ball get through him. Stew’art scored and Phillips reached third, coming in on Hogriever’s fly to right. Gray hit to right for a base, reached second on a passed ball and home on McCarthy’s single to center. McFarland had, meanwhile, gone to first on balls. Kahoe, who had taken Motz's place at first in the sixth, flew to Genins. The last Indianapolis run w T as made in the ninth, Phillips starting with a two-bagger to center and scoring on Hogriever’s safe drive to right. The latter was caught between first and second and run clown. Gray and McFarland flew to Jones. The visitors were disposed of in oqe-two-three order in the last three innings. Score: Indianapolis.

The Champions Well to the Front In Hutting; and Fielding. The unofficial averages of the Western League show Mcßride, of St. Paul, as the leading batsman, with a mark of .382. Lally, of Minneapolis, is tied with him, but played in only twenty-nine games, w'hile Mcßride’s record is for 132 games. Glasscock batted .372 in 131 games, and Billy Gray is fourth, with .372 in 123 games. McFarland is eighth with .359, McCarthy thirteenth with .352, Wood sixteenth with .345, Motz nineteenth with .340, Hogriever twenty-third with .338, Phillips forty-sixth with .313, Stewart sixtysecond with .296, Kahoe sixty-sixth with .290, Goar sixty-seventh with .290. Flynn is rated at .269. being tied with Hulen, of Columbus; Nicol, of Milwaukee, and “Brownie” Foreman. Wood was third among the catchers with an average of .951, and Kahoe fourteenth with .913. Connie Mack is first, with .966, and Twineliam second, w ith .961. Ganzel, of Grand Rapids, leads the first basemen, with .964, Tebeau being next, with .983. and Motz sixth, with .978. Stewart is fifth among second basemen, with .938; Gray fifth among third basemen, with .911; Flynn ninth among shortstops, with .868; McCarthy second among left fielders, with .932; McFarland fourth among center fielders, with .920, and Hogriever ninth among right fielders, with .909. The pitching averages have not yet been figured on an earned-run basis, so they are of little or no value. A Clock for Manager Watkins. At the clubhouse yesterday afternoon, just before the Indianapolis players went out to practice, they presented Manager Watkins with an onyx clock. Captain Motz was the spokesman, and “Watty” responded briefly. The clock is a beautiful one. and Pittsburg’s new manager is very proud of it. The boys are sorry to see the best manager in the Western League leave them. They all like him, and say there never was a manager who treated his players better than Watkins. When the popular head and front of the team rose from the bench and left the grounds yesterday in the midst of the game the crowd cheered and applauded him. “Watty” lifted his hat in recognition and passed from view. He left for Louisville at 5 o’clock on some baseball business, but will return here to-mor-row for a day or two. He will take hold at Pittsburg Oct. 15. and the Pirates will then have a man in charge who will land them near top if it is possible to do so. Lust Cup Gamed To-Day. The Indianapolis and Columbus teams left last evening for the Ohio capital, where they will conclude their cup series this afternoon with a “double-header.” If the champions win the first game the next will be an exhibition affair, but if Columbus lands the first the second one will be in

earnest. Foreman and Goar are to do the pitching, while Evans and Wolters will officiate for Columbus. To-night the players will all scatter for their homes and the season will be over, with the big silver trophy in possession of Indianapolis. PARR FOUND GUILTY. Mast Serve a Term in Prison for Perjury. John C. Parr, who has been on trial for several days in the Criminal Court on the charge of perjurj-, was yesterday evening found guilty. He was sentenced to the State Prison under the indeterminate sentence law. Parr's physical condition while in court was such that he could not sit up except while on the witness stand. Most of the time he has reclined on a couch wheeled in from the court’s private room. VICTORY FO*R STARBUCK * MICHAEL. THE “WELSH WONDER,” BE ATEN IN 25-MILE R ACE. Only Six Yard* Between the Contestant* at the Close of the Race— Indiana Bicycle Race*. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2.-J. Frank Starbuck, of Philadelphia, this afternoon defeated “Jimmie” Michael, the “Welsh wonder,” in a twenty-five-mile paced race on the third-mile board track at Willow Grove by the narrow margin of six yards. It was one of the most exciting middle-distance races ever seen here. Starbuck’s time for the twenty-five miles, 47:02 1-5, and Michael’s, 47:02 2-5. Each man was in the lead three times during the race, but neither led by more than forty yaids at any time, and the race was in doubt to the finish. Michael led during the first ten miles. Starbuck was in front during the eleventh and twelfth miles, and Michael led on the thirteenth. On the next mile Starbuek again assumed the lead, and hold it until the twenty-first mile, when Michael took command. From the twenty-first mile to the finish it was a struggle. On the twentyfourth mile Starbuek forged ahead and maintained the lead to the end, winning by about six yards. Both men rode in magnificent form, and caught their pacing teams in beautiful style. Eight thousand persons saw the race. Had Spill at Detroit. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 2.—To-day’s National Circuit bicycle races wound up with a half dozen of the fastest of the racing stars badly spilled along the track. Just after the last eighth mile of the final event of the day in the two-mile open professional was reached Tom Cooper’s wheel struck that of Butler, who was just ahead. Butler and Cooper were thrown, and Bald, Mertens and Kiser tumbled over them in a bad mix-up. Mertens’s right side was painfully injured by a heavy fall upon Cooper s handle bar. The St. Paul man lay on the ground for some time before he was able to be assisted to training quarters. However, his injury is not expected to prove permanent. Bald received a hard blow in the side, and all had a severe shaking up. Aside from this the day was free from accidents. The weather was fine, and the crowd numbered over 2,500. There was no loafing and little jockeying in the final of the two-mile professional. Loughead led at the first mile, with Mertens and Butler close up. Cooper, Bald, Butler and Kiser went out successively for the lead, and very nearly got it. Then came the accident, giving Loughead the race, w r hich he was already in a fair way of winning. The other professional event w'as the one-mile professional. Only a few of the leading flyers started in this race. The three preliminary heats were won by Taylor, Hoyt and Dr. Brown. Hoyt did some tall sprinting on the third quarter, but Dr. Brown was the active man of the party at the end, and finished first in a hot tussle with Butler.

DE PAIAV FOOTBALL ROW. The Team Broken l T p by Faculty Action Against AVilliamson. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, Ind., Oct. 2.—The student body of De Pauw is thoroughly aroused to-day over the action of the De Pauw faculty senate in refusing to allow W. V. Williamson, better known as "Babe,” to play football with the university eleven. When the news of the decision became public, shortly before noon, the students and particularly those interested in athletics were bitter and outspoken in their denunciation. It is said that Williamson, if he desires, will be permitted to enter the university, but would be denied the privilege of playing on the team. Some inkling of the matter began cropping out earlier in the week, and in a talk at chapel one morning this week President Gobin made some significant remarks concerning athletics. He dwelt especially on football and gave his opinions of the game, saying in substance that the board of trustees of the university was opposed to the game on account of the physical perils resulting from it; that he himself had always favored the game as a sport conducive to manliness and fairness, but he added of late he had been greatly discouraged by seeing the mariner in which it was being played. All sorts of strategies and underhand schemes, he said, were being resorted to by the various college teams. The game is on trial now, he went on to say, and any unfairness will come to the surface to its discredit. The students will have to decide whether they want to retain football or not. and it will depend on them playing a clean game. The action now of the senate in refusing to allow Williamson to play precipitates a clash. The officers of the athletic association deny the charge of professionalism and claim that Williamson’s intentions are to remain here all the year and to take a full course. On the other hand, the authorities hold against him the charge of professionalism. That is the one and only hitch, but it bids fair to be the end of football here if some compromise be not made by which Williamson can play on the team. Wiliamson has been here about a week and has been in active training with the team and has been aiding Captain Roller in coaching the new' men. He is a strong, fearless player and is regarded as one of the best tackles In the West. His work in connection with that of Studebaker and Roller on the De Pauw team last year was of a high grade, and his return this fall was hailed by those interested in the game with delight. The refusal to allow Williamson to play means that Roller will not captain the team nor play on it; also, that Manager Hamrick will resign and in the end that football will be at an end here. While some sort pf an argument may result in a conference that may be held later, at present the outlook is decidedly blue for the game this fall. The athletic managers claim the stand taken by the faculty, which has been inspired by the trustees, will result ultimately to the disadvantage and discredit of the university, in point of attendance and college spirit, if persisted in. President Gobin is out of the city to-day and could not be seen as to the faculty side of the case, but the athletic people state they have been given to understand positively that Williamson cannot play. The local team has been hard a; work the past ten days and Is wearing neat new uniforms. About forty men have been on the field every afternoon and the interest has been high. Games have been scheduled with Purdue for Oct 16 and Tnuiana University on Thanksgiving, both games to be played here. These dates are in jeopardy now, however, as with the loss of Williamson and Roller and others, who at present refuse to piay in the face of the faculty’s decision, no team able to cope with the above strong organizations could be placed In the field. A prominent director in the association states this afternoon that the decision would have a bad effect on the association financially. Last season the association went in debt to the extent of about SI,OOO, and about S7OO of that indebtedness still stands, secured by notes, and that with a poor team and a refusal of the leading players to assist, the association would have the bag to hold financially One merchant holds their account for $l3O, due in thirty days, for supplies for the team. Mr. Williamson, the player in question, is a Sigma Chi and is- very popular with the students and those interested in athletics, and the talk to-night is that a set of resolutions will be prepared to submit to the faculty senate to try to get the decision reversed. Local trustees are being appealed to and the matter is creating more interest than any incident in college circles in years. PURDUE’S FIRST VICTORY.

Mass., Oct. 2.—Harvard defeated Williams to-day in the first game of the season by a score of 20 to 0. The Harvard eleven was so far superior at every point that the game proved of little interest, the only exception being the work of Dibblee, who caught the ball at the kick-off for a thirty-five-yard run through a field of tack 1 era and repeated the performance once for forty yards and two or three times for short distances. For so light a game Harvard hau very bad luck in the way of Injuries. The first touch-
