MARAPOSA ARRIVES
DEPARTS SOUTH
Has a large Passenger List From
Valdez, Seward and West
ward Points
The Mariposa did not land at La
toucho on t.ho way to Seward as the
Btorm prevented them from making a
landing and it was doubtful for some
time if the Cordova would be (able to
remain at the dock; every line they
had, and "they are all new cables,
were out. It was a northerly gale,
the Mariposa anchored and waited
for the storm to abjite. Captain
Moore also spoke the Northwestern
off Unlmak pass on the way to
Nome. The steamer Senator south
bound 100 miles off Cape Flat
tery on the way to Seattle with a
heavy passenger list and fair
weather. The^ Storm extended from
Cape Spencer ►nd at least ai far
west as Unamak pass.
The passengers of the Dora were
transferred to the Maripos'at Sew
ard and wifttt the large number book

GIANTS WIN THE SECOND GAME
BY A SCORE OF TWO TO ONE.
Batteries, Giants, Marquard and Meyers—Red Sox, O'Brien
and Corrigan—Attendance, Twenty Thousand—Bos
ton Plays an Errorless Game, But is Held
Helpless Until the Ninth Inning.
Boston, Oct. 10 - New York defeated Boston today by a score of 2 to 1 in the championship battle. Rube Marquard's pitching
being an important factor, though the same number of hits was made off him as off O'Brien—seven—but they were scattered and
the Boston sluggers were unable to bunch until the ninth inning, when sharp hits bo Lewis and Gardner and a muff by Merkle
(cored the lone run for the Red Sox. New York scored in the second and fifth.
The feature of the day was a running catch by Devore of Cady's long hit, which would have put Boston ahead if it had gone
»afe.
Boston played an errorless fielding game and New York was charged with only one error.
Batteries—Marquard and Meyers, O'Brien and Carrigan. Attendance 20,000.
The game was characterized by the sharpest and cleanest playing so far seen [in the series. The light hitting was largely due
to excellent control and good headwork by both pitchers, but in some degree to extraordinary fast fielding. Several hard smashes
barely escaped safe landing.
The resulf of today's game has raised the stock of the New York team, not merely because it now has a game to its credit, but
because of the fast and clever playing the team displayed. Betting is only a shade in favor of Boston now.
