Chicago, Aug. 2. There was a sensa tional finish in to-day's ball game and ior a few minutes An son's heart broke looseand jumped into his mouth. With the score 5 to 1 in favor of the Colts, 3Ian ager Bucken berger in the last half of the ninth cut loose a good thing and his team rattled under the wire in a dri v ing finish. But the Colts won the race by a short neck. Parrott, whose errors are of "the bull in the china shop variety, started the circus as usual. He had made pome phenomenal plays, but did not feel good until he had contributed his might to helping the Pirates out of the hole in which they had been hopelessly floundering. I'arrott'c Gmprom Wild Throw. He threw Bierbaner's grounder so low that Anson could not scoop it in, and the manniththe horrible name was safe. He was the first man up, too. Charley Farrell, who had been unable to locate Gumbert, then drove out a single which Decker tum bled and each runner was advanced a base. Kelly sacrificed and Bierbauer scored. It was then that "Buck" eat his watermelon. Baldwin was due at the bat, but he hugged the bench and Mack, the backstop, tried his luck with the stick. About the same time a new ball came into play. "Back's" good thing sent out out a snorting single and Farrell romped home. Miller then pasted a double into right, on which Mack scored. Tiiere was only one out and another run would tie the score. Anson breathed hard and the crowd held its breath. Tour Cncle Was Very Nervous. A sigh of relief went up when Byan smothered Donovan's fly, and the crowd shouted when Smith wentoutfrom Canavan to Anson. Mark Baldwin was carded to serve the ball for the Pirates bold. Byan wanted a hit to increase his average, and helped him self to a single before Baldwin was fairly awake. A hit at the outset upset Mark's aqualine nerve, and he shoved in a wooly pitch on which Byan went to second, and scooted to third on Baldwin's wild throw to catch him napping at second. Parrott flew out, and Dahlen got a base on balls. Uncle Anson le"t out his arm and the bat collided with an inshoot which sailed into right, on which Bvan and Dahlen crossed the plate. After AVilmot's out Canavan and Decker were sent to first on balls. The bases were full, but the best Gumbert could do was to fire a baby grounder at Baldwin and ex pired at first. The Colts took another in the second on Byan's double into right. Donovan Made a Had Throw. When Donovan returned the ball to sec ond he shot it into Byan's back and he slattered on to third, scoring on Parrott's base swirie into center. The Colts had men on bases in the fifth and sixth, but did not score aealn until the seventh. Byan went out and Parrott sent the ball into center and Baldwin helped him to second with a crazy pitch. Dahlen flew out and Anson looked so formidable that Mark presented him with first He was so'rry a minute later when Walter Wilmot turned loose a howling triple which sent in a pair of runs. Those tallies came in mighty handy later on and saved the Colts from ano ther whip ping. The Pirates scored once in the seventh on two doubles and a sacrifice. The Colts Bhowcd improvement in base running and played one of their old-time games. The Pittsbnrgs except in the last put up their usual sloppy article and besides ran bases poorly.

Team Play a Ten-Inning Contest No Knns Scored In Nine Innings and the Visitors Win In the Tenth Highlands Strikes Oat IS Men. About 800 people were at Three A's Park yesterday afternoon to see the ball game be tween tho teams of the Boston Athletic As sociation and the Allegheny Athletio Asso ciation. Without doubt a good game was w itnessed, and although the festive visitors won it they had quite a difficult task to ac complish before tney did It. The local team were not marks by any means, and In this the players from the East were very much surprised. Ten innings were required to settle the argument, and all the runs that were made In tho game were made In that extra Inninsr. They only amounted to two. but the visitors made them. The great High lands, as he is called, pitched for the Bos tons, or for that matter the Harvard, team, because seven of the nine wero Harvard players. Highlands had the home players at bis meicy, as he struck 15 of them out. They were evidently afraid of him, as his pitching does not warrant that kind of slaughter. His speed was the stumbling block, and yet he is not as speedy as a great number of nltchers, and In front of some good League sludgers ho would prob amy fare badly. He has a good team be hind him. Bobei tson, who pttohed for the homo play ers, pitched In excellent form, but he had a toucher lot of people to face than Highlands had. He somewhat tired ton aid the finish, and that accounts for the lively hitting In the tenth inning by the Bostons. The visitors did some kicking. Once Highlands wanted a new umpire because a decision made by Dalze.ll did not suit him. The request was babyish and was notcrnnt ed. Again, in the eighth inning, with two men on bases and nobody out, Cookknocked up a little infield fly. Robertson "trapped" it and HIghlinds and Mason wero doubled. This caused a bis kick and a long delay, al though the decision was perfectly right. The two runs were made as lollows: Mur ray led off the inning with a single and Highlands followed suit. Mason got his base on balls, filling the bases. Cook knocked a grounder to tho pitcher, and here there was a splendid opportunity to throw a man out at the plate and tne batsman out at first, but only tho man at the plate was re tired. Farror. knocked a grounder to third at d Mason was put out there and Highlands pot home. Stern rapped out a fine single to right and Cook scored the second run. The score: THREE A'S.

TAPPED THE WIKES. A Bold Gang of Young Men D errand the New York Pool Booms. New York, Aug. 2. One of tho boldest wire-tapping schemes which have been at tempted in several years was successfully put through by a gang of sharp young men on Saturday in this city. As usual the pool room keepers were the sufferers. Had not some members or tbe gang played the two principal workers of the scheme falso there is a probability that the affair would never have become known, as it was so admirably planned and executed that even the West ern Union Telegr.tph experts weie foiled. One or the piincipal race department cir cuits of the Western Union Company was "lapped." Returns were delayed until the bets were mnde by those In tho scheme, and then the lesultsTi ere sent by the operators who were at the "tap." Two pool rooms lost so heavily that they appealed to the tele graph company for relief. Just how much the gang made is not known, but one of the persons on the Inside says the amount is not less than $2,500 and may be $3,000. The pcol rooms wbich suffered are in Harlem. Theciicnlt which was tapped has eight or nine offices on it, and so skillfully was tho whole business managed that no thought of trickery n as entertained until after the races ere over.

JAKE Gaudaur has accepted the challenge of Stephenson to row a three-mile single scnll race for 300 and the gate receipts, and names the time between August 12 and 15, at Toronto or vicinity. A dispatch from Davenport, 6ars: C. W. Will lams arrived this morning with Allerton. the famous stallion who meets Delmarch Thursday for a purse or $10, 000. Williams has several other fry ers with him. "William O'Covnor thinks $500 a side Is too small a turn for a double scull race netween Hanlan and hlmscirand Gaudaur and Ilosmer, but is wlll llng to make the match for I1.C00 a side and row in Toronto bay between August IS and 20. Billy Maddes claims to have secured the man agement of Joe Goddard, the Australian, who re cently whipped Joe McAuliffe, and that he is going to .New Orleans for the express purpose of chal lenging the winner of the Sulllvan-Corbett battle. Goddard Is now matched to fltht ten rounds with Billy Smith, on August 23, at the California Athletic Club, for a I,300 purse.

Captain Williams, the club's representative, said the other day: 'The people of the South are evenly divided In opinion as to what thn result of the fight will be. Many or Sulllvan'a warmest friends think that he is fighting one to many battles." The recent sensational race won byQueenleTrow brldge in the East, when she was backed bv J. J. McCafferty at 100 to I, recalls the fact that last year she was presented by Mr. Corrlgan to one of his partners, Mr, Brennock. At that time she was valued at $300. At Mr. Corrlgan's suggestion she was allowed to remain In the stable for a time, as she was about up to a race. She began winning soon after, and after she had won several races, she was sold for $2, 600, and the winnings and selling price placed to Mr. Brennock's credit, but he de clined to take advantage of Ms good luck, and the matter was compromised between the partners.

There is woe in Benjamin's book store on Broadway, where until early yesterday morning two book worms, alive and well, thrived on an old copy of Seneca. After breakfasting on page 47 yesterday morning one of the bookworms rolled over arid died. Mr. Benjamin ascribes its death to the carelessness of one of the bibliophiles who examined it on Saturday. The bookworm was weaving a cocoon and had it about half finished. The bibliophile was examining it through a magnifier when he carelessly let the glass fall. It struck the cocoon and tore it from tho worm. The bookworm, which' had hitherto Iain motionless, rose upright, but almost instantly sank again into its nest among the leaves. The cocoon was put back as nearly as possible in its iormer position and the book was closed. When Jlr. Benjamin opened it yesterday morning the bookworms body protruded half way over the edge of the boos. As lis owner watched it It fell clear off Seneca and died. BAIBED A WAS VESSEL. A. Remarkable Flees or Work Perforuaed on the Great Lakes. Cleveland, O., Aug. 2. Special On a of the roost remarkable feats ever accom plished on tbe lakes hasjust been brought to a successful culmination by tho Collins Bay Wrecking Company, in raising the Can adian steamer, City ot Owen-Sound, with her cargo of grain. In October, 1887. this vessel foundered in a heavy gale when just outside the Core Island passage in Georgian Bay. For four years and a hair she lay in 110 feet of water and everyone considered Iiora total los. Last spring this company undertook to raise the vessel with a new apparatus In vented in Kingitown, Ont. After a few months work tboy have succeeded and made a fortune, as the veosel is still valuable and the grain is little worse than if it had been snmmerged a month instead of (our and one half years ago. The City or Owen Sound is the second sel that was raised with this appar atus, the first being the railway transter steamer Armtrong, which was sunk in deep water near Brockville, Ont. But this case was much more difficult than the other, because- the water was deeper and the City of Owen Sound had been lost much less re cently. The apparatus bv which this re markable feat was done deserves a woid of description. It consists of Immense steel pontoons, cylindrical in form and 48x10 teet, with clvar-sbaped ends and a bllgo krel. Each pontoon is divided Into three water tight compartment", and has a well near each end through which the chains are brought up and held by to-glos. Having located the wreck, chains and steel hawsers are worked under the vessel by divers or fastened to her frames. The air is then exhausted from the pontoons, they aro submerged nnd air pumped Into them, when the increased buoy ancy raises the sunken vessel. Eaoh of the pontoons devised by Mr. LeUe has a lifting capacity of 100 tons. MABOONED 05 AN ASCTIC ISLAND. The Predecessors ot the Three Castaways Wero Devoured by Bears. San Francisco, Aug. 2. Three white men, Fred Burns, John Palifbrd, and a man known as "Frenchy," have been left to spend an Arctic winter on a desolate island, with scanty provisions and absolutely with out fuel. That they are in such terrible plight Is mainly due to the rigid enforce ment of tho orders closing Bering Sea against seal hunters. Just a year ago these men were pnt ashoro on St. Matthew's Island, far up in Bering Sea, by the schooner Mattle T. Dyer, of San Francisco. They were assisted in building a rude hut, and wero given a year's supply or food and wood, and 70 pounds or powder. The plan was for them to hunt and skin polar bears and blue faces until this season, when the Dyer was to remove them. The schooner arrived here yesterday without the three hunters. Captain Macklar stated that ho dared not venture into Bering Sen for foar of seizure, and had been able to make no provision for the relief Of tbe men. Ho said It wonld be too expensive an under taking to fit out a boat especially for their relief. Unless a revenue cutter or n cruiser takes off the men they must remain for an other season. The two parties of Indian hunters left there In previous seasons under similar conditions were devoured by polar bears. SNAP SHOTS AT LOCAL NEWS.
