CURRENT The ending of the basebe.ll season yeeter day wu a rellet to the patrons In this city. It has been a disastrous year for the New Torks, and It Is not their fault that they do not -occupy a lower position. The miserable showing- of Pittsburg. Washington, sad St. Is All that saved them further disgrace; The club should profit by year's experience.

There' has a loss this season, while last year there was a profit of more than SSUXXX It was not the war that brought about this state of affairs, nor can it be attributed to an "off year In baseball; it was simply a case of overconfldence. The club when It started out In April thought It had a pennant winning team, managed "by m. player who would land them on top If such a thing was possible. The club eaten lated that if the New Yorks were strong enough to-finish third In the race In 18U7 after getting a very poor start there was no reason why they should not win out with a. good start this year.

The team got a good start, as good as any team with the possible exception of Cincinnati, but they could not stay near the top simply because the team was not strong enough. They bad the pitchers, but that's about all. and the harder the pitchers worked the poorer the team behind them Dlaved. At on a um of the season the team did give promise of get- am into me ngni. out it was omy a spasmodic wlniung streak.

r. -When the team started to fall back rumors began to circulate to the effect that there were dissensions. All sort of stories were circulated. Some asserted that certain players rebelled and had formed a cliau to down certain other players. Doyle was pww 10 nave Danaea wttn several 01 the best players to oust All these reports were denied, and It was stated by the management that, nothing but harmony existed tawnr the layers.

Following this statement came the absence, of Tleraan and Hsrtanan from the Manager Joyce announced that they, were granted leave of absence on account of sickness, but when these players remained awav it flnallv leak. ed out that they refused to play because of unjust fines imposed by Joyce. It then be-. came generally known that harmony idld Bet exist, and that the majority of the players were jdlssstlsfled with Joyce The pa i uu. Kim cuwivnaru iua nfinooi, particularly- his disgraceful wranrllnz with um pires, and the upshot of It all was that the game became unpopular In this city.

The management nas promised to reorganise the demoralised team, and says that the cause ox au me reported trouble Is known. uvmiva iih wiuN uwuer pennant, to JiS list, masons; eight championships won by the club since the League was organised In 1876 and five championships since the League was reorganised In .1891. Indeed, the Bos tons and Baltlmores have divided th Knn ors. since 1801. The only other club that has Improved Its standing this year la Chicago.

Under Anson's management the team failed to get, anywhere near the top In recent years. xom wno deposed Anson, reorganized the team with -excellent remiita. and the club will pay a big dividend this season, ljouiaviue nas maae a little progress, but is still a second-class team. This is probably the last time that St. Louis will nnish at the tall end for some Next season the Mound City will cut a prominent ugure in Daseoaii.

sssce tne Cleveland team bas seen transferred to that city. The Bostons played eighty games on their some grounds during the season, of these having been transferred from Cleve Of the eighty games Boston has won sixty-one, lost eighteen, and played two tie games. The Louis snd Chics g-o. teams failed to win a game in Bo i ton this season. Baltimore, Philadelphia.

Louisville, and Brooklyn each won one Twenty- veo ui me tnirty-iour games with eastern clubs- were victories, and of the forty-two games with Western clubs thirty-four wer A better showing Is promised by- the Brooklyn Club for next season. A big change will certainly' have to take place or the dub will go to the walL The club's losses, will aggregate $15,000 this season. This can be made up next season if a winning team Is developed. The management Is certainly going; about plan of reorganisation in the proper way. They have drafted nearly fifteen players who nave eirneii repuauon in ine minor leagues, which will enable the club to strengthen all the weak positions on the team.

What Is most needed in. Brooklyn, however, is a first-class' manager, since Capt. Griffin will not assume ue responstoiuty. William Keeler, the Baltfinores right fielder, again beads the Hat of batters, and for general all-around playing, Keeler Is probabiytbe most wonderful player known since popular. Since he became a National League player, four years ago, be has led the League in batting twice and was always umonr the first four.

He is a remarkable batter, and, although the work of the pitchers this season has been better than ever before, Keeler has true out less man. nve times, xnis is a record In Itself. Nichols of Boston and Maul of Baltimore carried off the pitching The Boston and teams will play a game on the grounds of the West New York Field Club, in Weehawken, to-day. There will be no -after-season series between the chamnions and the Baltlmores. After to-day's game they disband for the SCHOLASTIC SPORT.

The teams that were the strongest last year suffered the most in the way of losing well-drilled players, and now the different schools are nearly arenly matched In strength. Berkeley School's team showed up rather Poorly; In Its first game with Packard's Business College team last Wednesday. 'Since then, however, it has improved wonderfully, sod in another week will be strong to hold its own with the other scholsatlc elevens. The De La Salle eleven showed th good effects of early training by defeating the Montclalr High School team.

The time was, therefore, rather slow. Only tbree erews were entered, one from the junior class snotber from the sophomore class, snd the third from the freshman class. Considering; that the Utter crew has only been rowing for twelve days, the fact that they defeated last year's victorious crew of the triangular race -at New London Is remarkable.

BBOOKLTX ADVERTISEUrXTS. The Evolution of a Great Store! 1 Oar reconstructed Store is so nearly completed that a brief account of the many improvements and new features which have been introduced will not be inopportune now. For the past three years hundreds of mechanics -and laborers in every branch of the building industry: have been busily engaged under the able direction of -Mr. L. Morse, our architect, in erecting the new additions'and' remodeling the -old- structure.

THr. Morse was not restricted as to expense and his artistic tasteand practical experience have therefore had" full 'scope. As a result Brooklyn can boast of a modernized retail estab-t lishment unrivalled by any in America and that means -in the world for America leads the world -in both store 'archiitefi-ture 'and up-to-date merchandising. "What Has Bsen Accomplished. We've erected a new nine story-(7 bove and 9 below the street: level) fireproof Building, 90x175 feet, adjoining ottr main structure.

2.. We! ve erected a four story-fireproof building, 55x200 ft. running through from Schermerhorn to Livingston st and on the ground floor of it we have built a private driveway leading directly to the porte cochere of the main buildiug at Livingston street and Gallatin place. This driveway is intended for the convenience and safety of the driving and bicyding-public, who can thereby avoid overcrowded Fulton street. 3.

Besides enlarging almost every department in the establishment, we have added during the past yean A nen's Clothlnr Dept. A Hen's Shoe Dept. A Men's Hat Dept. A Merchant Tailoring; "Dept. A PbotoeraDhlc SsipuIv Dent.

A Pattern nnt. And we have also opened a Restaur- ant for lltht ImuJUna 1 4. We've added to the public conveniences ot tne store, and those now ready are A Branch Post Office sub sUtlon 64). An EnUrced Public Telephone Serv ice. A Telegraph Office.

A Checking Room for Wraps and Parcels. A Ladles' Waiting Parlor. And others are in course of completion. 3. We established the first private tel ephone exchange used In a department store.

The plant comprises 40 stations, etabllnft us to answer every telephone message without the least delay. CI. We've put In one of the most com plete private electric light plants In the country. 7. We've added to our elevator service snd now have seventeen in all for passenger and freight ase.

H. We've entirely reconstructed our delivery service so that In promptness and efficiency It Is not surpassed by any In the country. 9. We've introduced the most Improved heating and fresh air apparatuses. During cold weather the whole store can be kept at a comfortable and even temper-sture, while at all times the atmosphere Is kept pure and entirely free from viti ated air.

lO. We have replaced the pneumatic cash carriers we had In operation with a newer and better kind, thereby securing the quickest change service possible. In a word, every up-to-date device that tends to make shopping more comfortable and that will lighten the labor and preserve the health of our employes has been made part and parcel of the reconstructed establishment; And, in addition, we've greatly improved our store service by adding to our force of capable-employes, all of whom are in full sympathy with our high ideals of storekeeping. Yet the work of betterment still goes on for we are not yet satisfied with what we have accomplished. If perfection can be reached, we.

mean to, reach it. But the store, with all its elegance, its facilities and conveniences, is, after all, only the framework of our It is the. merchandise which gives it its vitality. With such a set-; ting anything short of the best would be out of place and the best merchandise the. world affords here 4 for your choosing.

While our efforts have ever. bent toward the' lowering of prices, we've always maintained the highest standard of The best only, but the best cheapest is our motto; and how well we, up to it" is evi denced by the great growth of our business.
