A SAD MISTAKE.
Mr. Shugartf s Errors Prevent the Sluggers
From Getting Two Victories.
When one begins to talk about what
might have been very sad memories often
prompt tears that bedim the eye. Our slug
gers might have won two easy games yes
serday, but they only won one and the
Iiouisville fellows were presented with the
other. Frankie Shugart once more stepped
into the breach in behalf of the visitors and
lie saved them from a double knock-out.
There is a latality about Shugart's efforts
that is certainly interesting, because as a
rule just when everybody thinks everything
is all right, Shugart in the most surprising
way shows them that everything is all
wrong, and public expectations are so ab
ruptly upset that nothing bat bad temper
and a desire to get a victim prevail.
. The First Was Very One-Sided.
This was the condition of things yesterday
afternoon at Exposition Park. There were
about 3,000 people there, and tv.o games
were played between the local team and the
Colonels.' The fint ontest started at 1:30,
und lots of people did not see the beginning
of the first game in consequence. It was a
very one-sided affair alter the fifth inning.
Bad fielding on the part of the visitors made
it so, as both pitchers did lairly well.
Many hits were made off Sanders' delivery
after" the side should have been out. Terry
pitched very well, and was exceedingly well
5;irjprnvCjie houe team simply won by
" better all round playing, and that is the
wnole story of the game. Shugart was re
peatedly cheered when he appeared at bat.
JIcQuaid umpired a good game.
The second contest was more interesting
than the first because in the second inning
the visitors knocked Baldwin out of the
box and Ehret took his place. Mark was
in long enough to allow three runs to be
earned and nobody out. Mitchell was um
piring as McQcaid was unable to officiate
on account ol sickness. Mitchell did not
do well and one of his decisions really lust
the local team the game.
Knocked 3Iarkabns Clean Out.
In the second inning Bassett started off
with a two-bacger, Jennings made a single
and then Whistler made a home run and
Baldwin retired. Not auother run
was made by the visitors until the ninth
inning and then they tied the score. With
two men out and two men on bases Jennings
knocked up a little fly which Shugart ran
for and got the ball into his hands, but
dropped it. The error allowed two runs to
tally and the score was tied.
In the tenth inning, with a man out,
Stratton made a triple and scored on an
other error by Shugart, and that won the
game.
In the fourth inning Mitchell declared
Van Haltren out at first when he was sale,
and had he been given his bass he would
have (-cored eventually and no extra inning
would have been needed.
When the game finished it was almost
dark, but Mitchell was right in having the
extra inning played. The score:

WAHTS TO BUY 0UB BLTGGEBS.
air. Wagner Has a Desire to Get the Local
Baseball Club.
Washington, Oct. L fecial. Considera
ble excitoment was created among baseball
patrons at the national capital by a publica
tion to'day that President Georse V. Wag
ner bad enteted Into negotiations looking
to the sale ot the Washington club and the
Euichaasof the franchise of the Pittsburg
easue team.
President Waprner and Vice President
Elliott, ot the Washington club, did not
make an emphatic denial, but seemed rather
surprised to learn that It had leaked out,
and lemnrked: "You can say that Jlr.
Wagner has received no offer for t'ie Wash
ington club, and has made no offer for the
PittsbnrgK. ot course, if Mr. Wagner is
offered enough he ! willing to sell out. As
to his losing $12,000, that is all nonsense. We
consider this a good ball town."
"Yes," said Jlr. Wagner, "I am very much
pleased with Washington." Regarding the
club's poor standing, he said: "There ate
only lour clubs in the League that cost more.
It casts $15,000 more than the Clevelands. I
am through ith star aggregations. I have
had enough of star playurc. Wo have lines
out lor a half dozen young players and tliev
will be tried to-morrow in the game with
Paterson. N. J."
There Is some trutn In the above. At one
time Mr. Wagner nearly had the lrancliise
of the Pittsburg Clnb lor $70,000 and he has
been trying to sell the Wasnington Club for.
along time. At present the local club duec
tors aic not disposed to sell, although a
w eefe or two ago they were so Inclined.
President Robison's Views.
Cleveland, Oct. L President Frank De H.
Roblson will leave Monday for New York.
where be will attend the special meeting of
the League. Mr. Boblson will then try to
make arrange u ents with Boston for the
championship series of games. Said he to
day: "If we are lortunale enough to win
the right to play off with Boston I will bet
any Boston official $1,000 that we will win the
championship. Ir I win I will add enough
to give the players o: the Cleveland team
$100 apiece."
Franklin, 16 Warren, 0. '
Franklin, Pa., Oct. L Special The
home team to-day wined up the ground
with the professional baseballlsts from
Warren, who defeated the Franklin team
by a score of 1 to 2 yesterday. The visitors
played like schoolboys and both their pitch
ers were terribly wild. Alexander pitched
in fine form for the Franklins, allowing tho
visitors but three lone singles, while his
support put up a strong fielding game.

Suburban League Notes.
The Homes tied the Ciaf tons for first place
In the League yesterday at Cratton by de
feating them by a score of 3 to 2 in the last
game of the series. Both pitchers did ex
cellent work, Leetman stiikingout 12 men
and Barrett 11. One man was out when tho
winning run was made. The batteries weie:
For the Horno, Leetman and Buchanan;
Craftons, Bariettand Hopkins.
The standing of the League is as follows:

Silver Kino feels elated over winning two
games truni Boston.
Ed Crane's band bas healed and be may take
bis regular turn next week.
It Is very Improbable thata series will be played
between the Bostons and Clevelands at the close of
the regular season.
jttcOULLif, the youngster who p!ay4
I game with St, Louis on their Eastern trip, has
I been signed for next season.
I'Vprflii DAinpvirv would be the choice of the
Clevelands to umpire If a championship series were
to be played with the Bostons.
DUTFT has not been doing the work In the field
that one would expect of a player of Ms caliber.
Too many balls drop safely that should be caught.
AN50X has been negotiating with the Atlanta,
Ga.. cub for the use of their grounds for practice
next spring, but Manager Bancroft, of Cincinnati,
closed a deal before blm.
KELLT recently Informed his fellow players that
he would give the Boston newspaper baseball
writers the laugh and "quit the town." Kelly Is
simply anticipating an event.
THE New Yorks think they have found a phenom
enon In their new third baseman, W. F. Keelcr.
He la a left-handed batter and thrower, last on
bases and an excellent coach.
Btl.LT Joyce never knew the day when he could
play the game on third base that Tom Daly Is play
ing. The la' tcr electrified the spectators here by
his gnat stops and his swift and accurate throwlug.
THE Sotithsldc Gyms defeated the G. W. Trln
burs bv a score or 9 to 5 on the Homestead grounds
ves'erday. The batteries were: For the Gyms,
Casey and O'Brien; TrlmDurs, Gould, Eavens and
Berg'er.
ANION'S collection of players looks to bo the most
spiritless the old warrior has ever directed. Na
poleon bad more fun In a minute at St. Helena than
Anson seems to have bow In two hours' gloomy
work at first base, says a Philadelphia exchange.
Several League teams will experiment with new
men In October, with an Idea ot engaging them for
1893 If satisfactory, aud it Is likely Captain Comls
key will glTe two or three men a chance to show
their ability later on, bnt no changes will be made
at present.
The Spiders will win the championship of the
second season. Tneyhave a start in games won
which c.innot be overcome. They can put upqow
with a slreak of bard lnck and yet receive the pen
nant when the struggle Is over.Ofcourse.lhe Cleve
land cranks are delighted Tebeau and his men
own the town, and already there Is talk in tbe city
by the lake of a reception over which the Mayor
shall preside. In fact, the Clevelanders have only
a vague Idea of the Presldental battle which is con
vulsing the country. Tlielr thoughts are centered
upon the basebaU prize and tbe men who have
won It.

GARRISON IN FORM.
The Great Jockey Wins the Rich
Stakes at Morris Park Track.
DR. HASBR0UCK MAKES A RECORD.
Good Kacing at Latonia and Fome Lively
t peculation.
GENERAL SPORTIMi NEWS OP TOE DAT
Morris Park Race Track, Oct 1.
This was a great day for Jockey "Snapper"
Garrison and Brewer F. Ehret, the former
being the winning jockey and the
latter the owner of the 'winning
horse of the .rich Matron stakes,
which was decided here this afternoon be
fore 15,000 men and women lovers of the
race horse. The weather was simply per
fect. A strong wind was blowing down the
straightaway, and made the lightning fast
track a record breaking one. It was ex
pected that the Matron stakes would be the
sensational feature of the programme, but
niucti of its importance was lost sight of
when Dr. Hasbrouck, with 122 pounds,
chopped two full seconds off the 6 furlongs
record. No one thought that the son "of
Sir Modered and Sweetbriar was fast
enough to lower the 59 seconds record origin
ally made by Pides over the same track,
ana duplicated by himself and several oth
ers afterwards, and when 67 seconds was
hung out by the official timers after he had
galloped in ahead of his oppouents the
spectators were amazed.
It is seldom that two seconds is clipped
off ot a record, and the spectators were in
clined to be skeptical. The time was abso
lutely correct. A strong wind blew down
the track, which was never in better condi
tion for the making of fast time, a'ld when
Yeman, 6 to 5, beat off his opponents in the
second race ot six furlongs and lowered the
record for that distance from 1:W4 to
1:09 half a second, the doubting Thom
ases were convinced that it was really a
recorti-DreaKing trace.
Then came the Jbordham Handicap and a
plunge on Montana, this year's Suburban
winner, who haJ Garrison in the saddle.
Equity was next in favor, with Beckon 7
to 1 and others at still longer odds. Beckon
jumped from fifth place into tbe lead at flag
lall aud never pave her backers an instant's
uneasiness. She led by from three to five
lengths from start to finish, winning in a
big gallop, while whips were flying in the
air behind her. Speculation on the 17 start
ers for the Matron stakes was spirited, but
rather one sided.Miss Maude and SirFrancis
being respective first and second choices at
2 and 2 to L The ethers were asked to
be backed at irom 8 to 1 to 100 to L The
BebeccaRouett colt headed the bunch half
way down the hill, and looked to be a sure
winner a sixteenth fiom the finish. Sud
denly the only Garrison came out of the
bunch with a rush, followed clo.ely
bv Littlefield on Miss Maude. Joekev
I Billy Donolute, who owns, trains and
rides the Kebecca Bowett colt, made a last
final eflort for the 542,000 Matron. His colt,
however, was doomed to deleat, Bouohue,
because of his lack of riding ability, was no
match for either Garrison or Littleheld, the
Snapper driving Sir Francis in a winner by
a head from Miss Maude, wiio was a head in
front of the unnamed colt, Eagle Bird
at the latter's shoulder. The stakes were
worth Ha.000, 2,500 of which goes to
the second horse and $1,500 to the third.
Tbe race was a scorcher from start, the 2-year-olds
running it in 1:10, which is only a
quarter ot a second behind the new record
made by Yemens. Garrison was greeted
with salvos of applause. He could have
won with either Miss Maude or the Kebecca
Kowett colt. It was a case of a clever
jockey against lesB competent riders. His
lee to'r winning with Sir Franels is said to
be ?5,000.
Adelbert, 7 to 10, won the fifth race after a
hard tussle, with Stactetic as owuer, trainer
and jockey McCaSerty brought a memor
able day's racing to a closing by Hngb
Penny, Irom 10 to 1 to 3 to 1, and giving the
bookmakers a bad scorching when the colt
won in a gallop. Hugh was bid up f 1,000

Tve read for a long; tine. Pv.ci:.
You'd bclicvo in patent mediants if ttey
didn't profess to euro everything.
And, you can't always tell tho prescription
that cures by what you read in tho papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better way to sell a
remedy, than to tell tho truth about it, and
tako tho risk of its doing just what it pro
fesses to do.
Dr. Keren's Favorite Prescription is not
a "cure-all,'" but is only adapted to thoso
diseases, peculiar to women. It fulHUs a
singlcKS3 of purposo, being a pcrfi (t spe
cific in all chronic weaknesses, fuu-tional
and painful disorders peculiar to tbj sex.
It's a powerful, invigorating tonio, and a
soothing and strangthening ccrvinepurcly
