LUCK WAS AGAINST THEM.
Baldwin Pitches an Excellent Game, but the
Baltimore Get There
fSPECIAL TELEGRAM To TIIF DISPATCH.!
Baltimop.e, Sept 17. For a man OTer
whom the afford of Damocles is suspended,
Pitcher Cobb did
remarkable work
against Pitts
burg to-day. In
the last two
games he placed
the opposing
teams had a pic
nic pounding his
delivery all over
the field. As he
had been doing
very erratic
work Hanlon
con clu ded to
give him 10 days'
notice. This
was his last chance to redeem himself,
and the club officials say he did it Five
singles were all the Gas City men conld
make off him, and two of these were rank
tcratches. With the exception of one in
ning he received great support Then a
funuy combination of errors let in the only
run they made. It is a curious fact, too,
that in the eighth inning after two men
struck out three hits lollowed, but with the
bases full Shugart hit a high fly to O'Eourke
and left his comrades to die on the bases.
Their other two hits came sandwiched in
the second and filth innings and yielded
-Stolhing.
""--Baldwin Did Extremely WelL
Baldwin, too, pitched a grand game,
Ward being the only one to gauge him
more than once. His own and Shugart's mis
Ttlavs were responsible for four of the runs
made, the other being earned. Neither
pitcher gave a bate on balls, which shows
what excellent command both had of the
sphere. The star play of the day was made
by Donovan, who captured a long fly on
foul ground after a desperate run, cry hold
ing out his left band and grabbing it as he
sprinted along. Beckley and Farrell
plaved well, while Shindle, Ward and
Strieker put up a great game for Baltimore.
Neither side succeeded in sending a man
across the plate until the fifth inning, when
Ward scratched out a doubtful single.
Gunson tried to sacrifice, but Baldwin got
hold of the ball and, but for a poor throw,
would have caught Ward at second; as it
wan both runners were safe. Then Cobb
sacrificed, moving both up a base and on
Strieker's sacrifice Ward, by great sprint
ing, slid to the plate.
They Tied the Score.
Pittsburg tied the score in the seventh.
Shusrart's slow one was neatly stopped by
O'Rourtc, but Sutclifle juggled the ball.
Then O'Rourke fumbled Becklev's grounder
and both were safe, Shugart going to third.
Farrell hit to Shindle, who cut Shugart of!
at the plate, but Gunson dropped the ball
and the run counted.
In the next inning, Baltimore earned the
only run, made on O'Kourke's single and
Cobb's triple over Donovan's head. In
the eighth after Shindle had gone out Van
Jialtrcn hit to Beckley. Jake threw to
Baldwin who had run to cover the base, but
he juggled the ball. Sutcliffe then lollowed
with a single and Stovey wentout Van
llaltren reaching third and scored on Shu
part's Jumble of O'Rourke's grounder.
Ward's triple cored Sutclifle and
O'Bourke. The score:

AVERYGOOD'WINDUP.
The Pacers and Trotters Do Well at
Homewood's Last Day.
LAKEWOOD PRINCE A WINNER.
J. U. L. Wins the Unfinished Pace and Lots
of Monej Is Won.
RESULTS OP THE GRAYESEND RACES
The fall meeting of the Homewood Park
Association was finished yesterday and a
gooa wind-up it was. There were more
than 2,000 people present and the weather
and track were good. There were four
regular events and two unfinished races on
the card, but only three of the former were
brought oft 'on account oi darkness. Two
of the three regular events were somewhat
tame, as Raven and Egyptlenna won their
races easily. Lake-wood Prince won the
free-for-all trot and proved himself a splen
did horse. He is a goer and when in form
can beat any of those who opposed him
easily.
The meeting has been a financial success
despite the bad weather and the manage
ment hasbeeaexcellent, also the programme
arrangements.
Therewas great interest in the unfinished
pace. Cleveland S. and J. H. L. each had
two heats, and there was heavy betting on
their chances for the race. Cleveland S.
was favorite. The send ofi was a good one.
J. H. L. paced a good heat, while Cleveland
S. broke badly. The former won handily
by two lengths.
The unfinished free-for-all trot was won
by Lasewood Prince. HeandGillet each
had two heats won and the de oiding heat
was won easily by the Prince.
An Interesting Trotting Race.
The first of the regular events on the card
was the 2:20 trot, aud It was just as hard
fought a battle as anybody would wish to
see. Gertrude was the favorite before the
race started, and after she won the first two
heats she was a very strong favorite. Con
stantine always had lots of supporters, and
he won the racs by completely outstaying
the little chestnutmare.
Gertrude won the first heat after a good
struggle with Garnet She also won the
second after a close argument with Con
sfantine. The heat tired Gertrude con
siderably. Constantine won the third heat
with much to spare from Gertrude. Nellie
Mason, in the fourth heat, got down to a
splendid gait and won an excellent heat
from Constantine by a leugth.
Constantine was still favorite over the
field, aud the betting was heavy. He won
the fifth heat easily. The sixth heat was
the best of the meeting. The favorite and
Gertrude trotted neck and neck to the
lower turn, when the mare dropped ofi leg-
weary, aud Constantine won easily by four
lengths.
There was considerable speculation on the
2:27 pace, but the race didn't result in much
that was interesting as Btven, the local
horse, had an easy task in winning three
heats after allowing Miss Cumsky to wirf
the first heat Raven was, of course, a
strong favorite in the pools. After she had
won the second she was almost at prohibi
tive odds.
Miss Cumsky Got a Heat
Miss Cumsky won the first heat after
quite an argument with King Hiero. The
mare made a game eflort for the second
heat but Haven was too speedy and won
the heat and the two following vuth ease.
Iu the fourth heat the drivers on Wilkie
Knox and Dusty Bob were taken down and
new ones put up but without much differ
ence in the goiog of the horses.
In the lost heat Miss Cumsky broke
badly in going to the quarter and lost so
much ground that she uas distanced and
King Hiero was given second money.
M. T. Hoyer, driver of Harry Hoyer,
was fined once ?5 and once $25 for scoring
before the pole horse.
The 2:33 trot was merely a "walkover" for
Ezyptieune and she won the three heats as
she liked.

VETERANS GATHERING
Scores of fnem Arrive at the National
Capital Every Hour.
ALL THE BARRACK8 ARE FILLED,
And the Railroad Tracks Are Crowded With
Carloads of Yets.
A CONFUSION OP THE REAL OLD-TIMERS
FROM A STAFF COBRE8PONDENT.1
Washington, Sept. 17. All !at night
and all day to-day the Grand Army legions
have been coming in, and local guides have
been piloting drum and horn bands and
post after post of the veterans to their re
spective quarters. Some are sent to private
houses that have been fitted for
them, lome to the school buildings
about whose occupation there his
been so much said, but the great bulk of
the arriving hosts are tent to the free quar
ters at the barracks or to the tents in the
Monument Grounds, the White. Lot, the
SmitRsonian grounds, or Garfield Park, aud
other places that now have all the appear
ance of being occupied by troops in active
service, instead of by decimated remnants
of a vast army which fought through the
great four-years war which was on in all its
majesty and horror 30 years ago.
Por thousands of these veterans it is
their first visit since the great review in
'65, and to a great number it is the first
since the thrilling days of the first guns,
when the Confederates were at the doors of
the Capitol and when the first regiments
were hurried hither to assist the handful of
original defenders to prevent tbe rebels
from crossing Long bridge and capturing
the seat oi government
A Confusion of Veterans Arrives.
There was a confusion of veterans to-day
in the arriving multitudes from nearly
every State which furnished a Union sol
dier. Many bore in their faces evidence of
thrift aud even of the possession of wealth,
but the great majority showed that tho
years that have passed since the war have
not relieved them wholly of that
toil for bread which Is little
less arduous than . the life
in camp at the front wai 30 years
ago. The uniforms of some were of ele
gant cloth and of the neatest fitting; of
more it was of a cheaper make, and showed
signs oi muoh usage, while not a few
seemed to be wearing the only suits of the
kind they have had since the organization
of the Grand Army, and still others were
sporting what appeared to be the same field
stained toggery, which had been about their
only wardrobe when they were mustered
out of the ranks.
The most picturesque arrivals were some
who had come prepared for roughing it in
the barracks or the tents, and who carried
their luggage with them In very slender
bags or bukets, baring long aeo become ac
customed to throw away on the march all
that was not absolutely necessary.
A Week of Jostling and Crowding;.
Every moment this evening the beating
drums and blowing horns, the cheering ot
the citizens on the streets, the present van
guard of colored youths of both sexes,
swarming like bees about the bands, an
nounced the arrival of new posts. The
railroads are glutted with trains and are in
a state of confusion as to time, and
are running wholly upon telegraphic
orders. Days ago tbe roads ceased bringing
freight into the city, and sent all their
freight cars away, that space might be had
on the sidings and in the yards for the hun
dreds of passenger coaches which will be
brought in before Monday morning. The
groceries and commission houses and mar
kets are piled full, but it will be surprising
it the city is not bare of food before the
end of the encampment
No city in the country is soaccnitomed to
fetch and carry great crowds. No city is so
used to feeding a multitude. But it is ap
parent that the crowd on this occasion will
exceed anything that has ever been wit
nessed here beiore, and the astonishing
feature will be that of successfully trans
porting and lodging and feeding, without
more than the usual mishaps, and without
more than the customary number of bedless
and foodless. No encampment has ever
gathered together a multitude to compare
with that which is here and on the way.
It will be a week of crowding and jostling
and crush and noiss, the like of which has
not been seen here since the close of the
war, and the old soldiers and tbe other vis
itors will play to an accompaniment of
hangers-on in the way of imitation veter
ans in rags, street fakirs aud other camp
followers innumerable and indescribable,
A number of posts from Eastern and
Central Pennsylvania have arrived this
evening, but the only one from the West to
report to headquarters is Post 102, of Alle
gheny, officered by Messrs. Holyland and
Nichols. During to-night and to-morrow
all the posts from the West will come in.
THE VETERANS AT WASHINGTON.
Half Rates by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
' The National Encampment ot the Grand
Army of the Republic will he held at Wash
ington September 19 to 24, 1892. The occasion
will undoubtedly attract the largest number
of veterans everassoinDiea on a simitar oc
casion, and the review will be the most Im
posing demonstration everwitnessed in tins
country since the historic review of tho
army In 18'i5. It will bo tho event ol a life
time, as never again will there be so large a
gatheilng of old soldiers in any oity orthe
land.
In order that evorvono may witness the
grand spectacle the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will sell excnrslon tickets to
Washington from all principal ticket sta
tions on its system, September 13 to 20, valid

OUR COMBINATION FOLDING BED that is creating such
a sensation at the Exposition would be worth your while to see.
It's a marvel of ingenuity, yet a bed, and all the other pieces
necessary for the room are thrown in. Words can hardly describe
its completeness. You have to see to properly appreciate it.
Of course ve have Bedroom Furniture. Why, we carry the
largest stock of medium-priced Parlor and Bedroom Furniture in

don't take a back seat from anyone. We make our own Leather
Library and Dining Furniture as well as all our Parlor Furniture.

honest until they prove otherwise, hence give ample time for the

and present givers, they have a long eye on your fat purso; Deal
