The Racine College nine and the Chicago Uni
yersity nine Will play tho final game for the Col.
leQe championship tomorrow, at the corner OF
South Park avenue and Thirty-ffth street.
A correspondent at Morrison asks ii McVey
has played behind the bat in any professional
games this year. He has; in two with the Mu-
tual, one with the Athletic, and one with the
Cincinnati Clubs.
There seems to be no excuse for presenting
the championship table this week, as tue season
has closed by the. completion Of all the games
to be played, though the limits OF time e1-
tended to Nov. 15.
The ouly movement in baseball at present is
found in the Boston-Hartford eerics OF games
for the championship Of New England. Two
games have been played during. the past week,
and the Bostons have won them both; 81, LOUIS
would have been much better pleased II Boston
could have won the two last games OF the resu-
lar series rather than the extra lot.
The atttmpt to incite the organization OF
new league Of the present semi-professlona1
clubs seems to hare died out where 1t COM

clubs as the Columbus, Indianapolis, and M"

/: best-known ball paper teens with blackg1ard-
ism OF the worst character, the object being the
Louisville Club and its President It is neither
funny nor entertaining to assert that respect

legious prayer.
The Chicago Club have wisely determined to
remove their Club headquarters downtown, and
will therefore break up the magnificent quarters
corner OF Wabash avenue and Twenty-thlrd
street, and occupy suite Of rooms more con-
genient to the centre Of the city. To close up
the uptown place the Club will sell the furni-
ture, which is really very elegant, at auction
Wednesday Of this week.
There has been considerable question as to the
intent OF the White Stocking management asst
tenth man for next year, and various rumors
are ahoat. No announcement OF intention has
been made py Dir. du4DefL, uuI IL Is 6uiuII6Eu
that the man he has an eye on is general utilf-
ty player who has record equal to almost any
man in the League, but who IS not at present
engaged.
The only engagement announced BY the
League during the past week has been that OF
Mike McGeary next year by the st. Louis
The League at its annual meeting ought
to provide special tribunal to try
Mike regularly. It is very annoying to the
Club officers to have to 20 through the form Of
exonerating him every season. It has got to be
regular thing nowadays, and the matter
ought to be set apart and special trial calendar
made for McGeary.
The St. Louis Republican prints TIE TRIBUNE
batting averages with the hint that they are
made up with the purpose OF placing the Chica-
go players unduly high up, and the St. Louis
wrongtully low down: The statement is abso-
lutely, false, and will be proved SO when Mr..
Secretary Young publishes his official records
after the League meets. The TRIBUNE does
not claim absolute accuracy, because many Of
its figures were sent by telegraph, and all or
nearly all OF them were from printed scores. It
believes, however, that they are as nearly accu-
rite as can be made, and that they will be
proved so by the official records when pub
lished.
