A comparison of the cotton shipments .for the month iast ended witb those of September, 18W, Is decidedly in favor of this year, as is also a comparison of the number of cotton steamers in port and cleared daring the month. In September, 1893, six steamers ar rived, with a net tonnage of 9,149 tons: three steamships cleared, of which the net tonnage was 4,840 tons, and they carried oat 31.988 bales, or 10,648.831 pounds, valued at $858,000. In September, 1897, there were nine arrivals of steamships, with a net ton nage of 16.435 toos. Counting the Vtra, cleared by J. H. Sloan last night, there were in September, 5 clearances, the net tonnage being 8.011 tons. These 6 vessels carried oat 88.674 bales, 19.989.184 pounds, valued at $1,838,048. The increase in arrivals is 8; in clear ances, 3; in tonaage of arrivals, 7,295; in tonnage of clearances. 8.671: In cum ber of bales Uken out, 17.888; in pounds, 9.815,803; in value. $485,048. The calculation shows that a bale of cotton this year is worth on an average $34 60; a bale last year was worth $40.07. At the prices ruling now there would be a greater difference in the values tor this year and last, but early in the sea son, as will be remembered, the price was higher. The average bale this year is heavier by .'fifteen or twenty pounds than the average bale in September, 1896, and that makes the average valae seem higher in Ihe comparison. SEAMEN'S FRIEND SOCIETY. An adjourned meeting of the Board ot Trustees of the Seamen's Friend So ciety of this dty was held in the reading room, in the Seamen's Home building, Thursday afterooon, September 80th, 1897, at 3 o'clock p. m.

The pen nant this year will be pi anted in Boston soil, as .a trophy of the victorious battles fought by the Beaneaters daring the past season, and the gallant work done by "Kid" Nichols, to whom the victors owe much. Baltimore's defeat yester day by the Senators settled the owner ship of the pennant, for now in no pos sible way can Boston be kept from grasping the coveted prize. Up to yes terday the Orioles bad a fighting chance, as four games won from Washington and one. lost by Boston to Brooklyn would have meant that the pennant would have gone to Baltimore for the fourth consecu tive time. But alas.the Orioles met defeat, and now. no matter if Boston presents Brooklyn with to-morrow's game, which will close the season for both of these clubs, little good it will do Baltimore, as the pennant now is gone and safe in the bands of Boston, which will be the first time it has been away from Baltimore since '93. The pennant has remained witb the two clubs now lead ing for the past seven years, as Balti more took the championship of '94, '95 and '96, and the Beaneaters of '91, '92, '93, and now '97. The only fight of any interest is now between Washington Brooklyn to see which will be the one to gain the only available place in the first division. All interest, and likewise money, is being centred on the Temple Cup series between Boston and Balti more. Can you pick the winner? Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. Brooklyn, September 30. Although Boston has one more game to play witb Brooklyn and Baltimore will play two more with Washington at the Monu mental city, the race for the league pen nant of 1897 practically came to an end with the conclusion of to-day's game at Eastern Park. Boston won the game while Washington trounced the Cham pions, which leaves Boston the undis puted champions for 1898. Even should Baltimore win both their games they can only attain a percentage of 700 points. Should Brooklyn win from Bos ton Saturday the latter would still have a percentage of 704. N The excitement at to-day's game was extraordinary. In the second inning, when the Bostons scored five runs, which gave them a safe lead, men and women alike arose in their seats and yelled frantically. When the lead became so great that there was no more hope for the home team, the most faithful joined the Bostons and their rooters and lor a time nobody could hear anything else but people yelling "B o-s-t-o-n 1" Young Dunn was put in the box to fool the new champions, but Captain Griffin might as well have stood up a wooden man. Tfae Beaneaters had their batting clothes on and the faster Dann tossed them across the plate, the harder Captain Duffy's men coald line the leather out. The only trouble was that the batting was all on one side. The home team could do but little with Klo bedanz, the Boston twirler. About the only time they hit him with any effect was in the third Inning, when they scored all their runs. The fielding, like their batting, was also one sided. Brook lyn made only four actual errors, then some of the players were guilty of the most stupid plays seen in many days. Boston's work in the field was simply marvelous. Nothing seemed too hard for them to get. Lowe and Long alone cut off four hits by their brilliant field ing. Attendance 4,050. Baltimore. Sept. 80. The "ghost of a chance" that Baltimore had to win the pennant for next season no longer exists It vanished early in to-day's game when the Senators fell upon Dr. Pond's curves,, batted him out of the box and took a good long lead in the fourth inning, alter which the Orioles seemed to lose heart and played listlessly and without ambition. In the mean time the score board was showing how easily the Bostonians were taking their game away from Barnie's men in Brook lyn, and the last vestige of hope slowly died out in the breasts of the handful of faithful "rooters," who still clung to the belief that Brooklyn might take one from the leaders and give the "birds" a chance to catch up by winning all four from the Senators. Those who have studied the game closely, however, had no such hope as it was apparent to them that the Washington men had been playing in better form than Brook lyn in recent games; then it was known that the Washington management was very anxious to win at least one from' Baltimore, and would not be displeased to have the pennant go to Boston, To them, therefore, the result of to-day's game was not unexpected and it is not saying too much to assert that the result is not altogether unwelcome in Balti more, for the reason that it is generally admitted that Boston was proved to have the better club in the recent re markable series played in Baltimore and all lovers of the game, no matter what their prejudices, are content to see the trophy ot the championship fall to the lot of the best team.
