- CLUBS THAT WON Result of Season's Play in Baseball Leagues, SOME FINISHES WERE CLOSE Athletics Capture Association Pen Bant by Narrow Margin Pitts bnrjr Has Walkatvay Milwau- lece Wins Western. The seasons of the principal , baseball leagues throughout the "United States have all been brought to a close, -and the pen-nant-wlnners decided. The only exception Is the California League, which has sev eral weeks more to run, with Oakland virtually the winner. The season of 1902 has been successful In most of the leagues and has been prolific of many close races. The American LcnRne. The organization that attracted the bulk of the attention of the baseball world was the major American League. That league opened its second campaign April 39, and from start to finish the race was one of the most remarkable in the history of major leagues. Every one of the eight clubs was in the race at one time or another, and for two months Philadel phia, St Louis, Boston and Chicago had a nerve-racking struggle. The final vic tory of the A.thletlc team, which for half the season appeared to hne but little chance of winning, created a popular feel ing, and added greatly to the financial success of the league. Cleveland finished in fifth place at the head of the second division, after a remarkable season. The team started In with bright prospects, but rapidly fell to the bottom of the list. Then, by the acquisition of .Lajoie, Bernhard and Flick, the club soon rose to fifth place, and after a hard fight barely missed landing In the first division. Detroit is the only team In the league that under went any financial Iofs. The final stand ing of the clubs, which has a range of less than pft points in the percentages of those In the first division, is: Won. Lost. P. C. Philadelphia 83 53 .610 St. Louis 78 58 .574 Boston 77 CO .562 Chicago 74 GO .552 Cleveland :..69 67 .507 Washington 61 75 .449 Detroit 52 83 .385 Baltimore 50 .85 .362 National Leagne. Pittsburg had even a greater walk-away In the race this year than it did in 1901. In fact It wa4? a race in name only. Pitts burg lad the pennant well In hand at the tart, owing to the weakness of the other teams, caused by the wholesale raids made upon them by the American League Clubs. The 29th campaign of the National League opened April 17. and PIttsSurg won 103 games, a record-breaker lor a cham pionship team. The only race In the league was among Brooklyn, .Boston, Cin cinnati and Chicago for second place, and after a hard struggle they finished in the order named, with but 50 points' range in their standings. Financially the success of this league did not compare with that of the American. Pittsburg, New York, Chicago and St. Louis all made money; Brooklyn broke about even; Cincinnati lost slightly, while Boston and Philadel phia came out heavy losers. The follow ing Is the complete season's record: Won. Lost. P. C.

Kansas City captured the pennant at the end of the third season of trie Western League after an exceedingly close race. Omaha appeared to be the winner until the season was two-thirds over, when Mil waukee came up from the bottom and took the lead. Then Denver went into the top place. When the season lacked but two weeks of completion, Kansas City took the bit between its teeth and won on the last day. with Omaha second, but three points behind. Three more points down the list found Milwaukee In third place, and a drop -of 10 more showed Den ver. This is one of the closest baseball races in history. The standing of th'e clubs at the end of the season follows Won. Lost. P.

The race was between Indianapolis and Louisville, and was so close that it was necessary for the two teams to complete their season's schedule by playing three games each on the last day. These two teams were really the only ones tn tne race, The associa tion enjoyed a very successful season. finished in good shape all around, and will be in the field again next season.

Sporting Life gives the following ac count of the season of the Southern League: "The second annual campaign of the fiouthern League ended with Nashville again the pennant-winner by even larger percentage than last year, when the strug gle was so close that the pennant was in doubt until the final series with Little Rock. This year the race was between Nashville, New Orleans and Little Rock from start to finish, and for the last two months of the season Nashville' main tained so great a lead as to leave no doubt of the, final result. No club outside the three mentioned had even a look-in for the pennant. The remaining five team were so much outclassed as to make the race processional. Memphis was the best of the remaining teams, and could only finish a poor fourth. The season was spoiled in its latter half by the contumacy of the Memphis club, which persisted In playing St. "Vraln, the reserve-jumping pitcher, and Babb and Evans, the American As sociation deserters, in defiance of the or ders of the National board and of the Southern League; and which club further involved Itself and the league in vexa tious, expensive and needless litigation for no conceivable purpose. Inasmuch as the players were not worth the sacrifice of money and principle entailed by the long physical and legal struggle against law and order in baseball. Following is the complete record of the season without regard to the complications caused by the many forfeitures entailed by the Memphis vrow: , v. Won. Lost. P.

Building: Without Permits. Deputies of the City Engineer nave been at work the past few days securing the names of contractors and others for vio lating the ordinance requiring people who are erecting houses or making repairs or alterations to take out building permits. Some -people, many of whom are con tractors, appear to believe that it is not necessary to secure a permit unless they use the streets, and manyt of them begin work without authority and the city loses the $1 fee. The inspectors will eall upon all the contractors who are working with out permits, and Inform them of the re quirement of the ordinance. If the per mits are not taken out promptly, the of fenders will be placed under arrest, as has been done in the past. Coal Operators Warned. Chicago Post. . What next?

Champoeg Merchant Accnsed of the Mnrder of His Former Business Partner State Has Strong- Case. SALEM. Oct. 14. (Special.) Testimony was taken In Judge Burnett's court today in the case of John F. Markley, who Is charged with murdering J. D. Fain at Champoeg last June. The evidence was completed and arguments have been made by both the prosecution . and defense. Further arguments will be heard tomor row forenoon, and the case will then go to the jury. The state has made a strong case on circumstantial evidence, but the defense contends that the most vital parts of the testimony were fabrications. The theory of the state was that Fain was passing the store of "Markley at 5 o'clock in the morning, on his way to his barn; that as he passed behind the store Markley opened a rear door and shot him. The defense denied that Markley did the shooting. Doctors B. F. and W. W. Glesy testlfted that they made an examination of Faln's body In the afternoon of June 25, and found three .bucksihot, which had entered his body below -the left breast, and ranged downward and backward.. The bullet wounds caused death. Sheriff Calbreath testified that he ar rested Markley at 9 A. M June 25. Mark ley handed over his gun when commanded to do so, and told the Sheriff he could examine the stock of ammunition in his (Markjey's) store, and he would find none like 'that in -Faln's body. At this time of day no examination had been made of the body. Calbreath testified that both barrels of the gun were loaded, but the cap of one barrel had been snapped. F. R. Osborne, who examined the gun a few hours after the shooting, testified that one barrel had been fired recently. C. W. A. Jette, who lives near Markley's store, testified that he was awakened by a gunshot and a scream; that he hastened to the window, and on looking out saw powder smoke hovering around Markley's door; that Fain was near by, staggering up the hill .toward home. He saw no one Pure, Pale and Sparkling. Bottled Only at the Brewery in St. Loiiis. Order from Fleckenstein-Mayer Co. DR. TALCOTT & CO. STRICTLY RELIABLE The Leadlnff Specialist.

He sum moned a number of neighbors and re turned to assist Fain. Fain, knowing he was about to die, arranged some business, called for a minister, and when asked regarding the shooting, said that Markley came to the door of his store and: shot him. saying, "Now you can take your medicine." James E. Smith testified to Faln's dying declaration. He talked with Markley about C o'clock on the morning of the shooting, and the latter said he thought Fain had been held up and shot. Mrs. C. W. A. Jette testified to seeing smoke around Markley's rear door, but saw no persons there. J. A. Jette heard Faln's dying statement, and related it as did the other witness. John Trlmune testified to the statement made by Fain on his deathbed, and told of a conversation with Markley, in which the latter admitted hearing a shot and scream on the morning of the shooting. John Schick also testified to hearing Fain's statement. J. E. Eldridge told of a conversation he had with Markley three months before the killing-. In which Mark ley said he had given Fain 36 hours to make a deed to the land the store stood i on. The land belonged to Fain, while the store beloncrPf- tr .Tnririo-L- or, v,i sold the land to a third nartv atmlnst Markley's wishes. Markley took the stand In his own be half and denied shooting Fain, but admlt- tca hearing a noise on the morning of the Rhoot!r ratns 01 l"c shooting, though, upon getting up. he couia see nothing unusual, and did not snow wnat tne noise was. He denied having made the damaging statements at- iiiumiic. lie oaiu lie SlIUL cL uiru with his gun on the evening before and reloaded it. He said there were no hard feelings between himself and Fain. A number of prominent citizens were called to testify to Markley's good repu tation in the community. District Attorney Hart opened the argu ment for the state ahd John A. Caron followed for the "defense. Tomorrow Mr. Gearln will close the defense, and Mr. McNary for the state. The Circuit Court room was crowded all day today. Mark ley was quite cool during all the proceed ings, and If he felt any excitement, he did not show It. . Damages or Failed Waist. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Damages for the price of a silk waist guaranteed to stand washing, and which failed to do so, were awarded by a jury In Judge Clifford's court yesterday to Mrs. Dell Edwards' wife of J. E. Ed- wards. M. Phllllpsborn, proprietor of State-stret store, was ordered to pay the plalntlff $6. but took an appeal, saying he would spend many times ?6 rather than be "held up." Mrs. Edwards testified that when she bought the waist from a young woman In the store she was told that the garment would stand washing. She wore it several times, until a cleansing became necessary. Then she sent it to the laun dry. When It came back the floss trim ming had faded over the entire garment. She took It back to the store and de manded her money. Mr. Phllllpsborn told her any woman should have known that such a waist could not be washed, and he repeated this statement on the wit- a ? i This Is Old One of the World's Greatest Specialists, Who Has Kept Hundreds From an Early Grave or the Insane Asylum.

The Best Temperance Arg-oiaent. Bostdn Herald. An article Is now being circulated in tho English papers In regard to the temper ance movement In the United States. This article states that the business prosperity of the United States has been assisted by the abstinence from the use of alco holic liquors of a great number of our people.

The demand which transportation companies and a number of other important industries make that their employes remain etrictly temperato has resulted in a movement which probably accounts for more real temperance reform than could be gained by professional advocates in double the time. The best temperance argument that can be advanced to the average man Is that by the excessive use of alcohol ha handicaps himself in the race of life, which all who are dependent upon them selves for a living must learn.
