This afternoon, at half-past four o'clock,
these same clubs will meet OH the National
grounds, aud, as the Baltimore nine is now in
| good trim, a fine contest may DO looked for
THE CHA MPIoNsuIP.
Tho dsbanding of the Utica club for the
| second time upscts tho status of the cham piou-
| ship record, and on this occasion draws heavily
| from the National column of victories. Tho
| Uticas having played only one championship
|
| for the pennant must be content with like
| number, which will leave tho National credited
with one victory from the Uticas. One defeat
| and four games won are deducted from the
score 50 far us their record goes, and the latter
are serious loss But the mixing up of the
championship record is not likely TO stop
| hero. 1t is asserted, aud as coming from au-
thentic sources, that the Hop Bitters" have
| Withdrawn from all association contests and
| will, in tho future, travel and play exhibition
games only, for the purpose of advertising the
patent medicine of which the club carries the
name that tho club will soon head West,
going as far AS California, and in returning
play here about the middle of next October.
i This week they have games with tho Buffalo,
Boston, and Syracuse clubs, all league Mines
which thoy could not play and remain in the
National Association At first it was stated
that Mr.. Soulo intended to organize II second
team, to be known as the "Ncw Hop Bitters"
to play exhibition games and leave the old
club to play out the schedule engagements,
but 1t seems that the proprietor OF the club
has abandoned that project and will now
run the advertising nnc If this be fact,
then there will DO q third alteration of the
record, and ut present it cannot be told what
the status of each club in the championship
arena is, but doubtless it will DO officially pro.
mulgated by the secretary of tho association
at an early day.
No sooner had the Uticas disbapdcd than
the Sprinsfolds jumped in and helped them
selves to rs many players as they thought
requisite to strengthen their nine. They took
Batten, Dolan. and Mack, to play second base,
7 short-stop, and catcher.
When the Manchesters broke up, the " Hop
} Bitters " obtained three of that nine and the
] Worccsters one while Sweezy aud Stoughton
! went to another club, tho General Worth, -
near Boston, Mass. The action of the Eastern
Il clubs that are in the championship fight in
r strengthing their mines whenever opportunity
Q offers should serve rs u hint, If nothing more
% the club in this city to look to their playing
= strength. 1t is perfectly obvious to most any
- person possessing any knowledge of the
/ game that there are weak spots in the team
that could be made stronger, and it is to the
interest of the club TO see that it Is done
O Unlikea Sunday contemporary, tho REPUB
LICAN has no pets. to foster that they may hold
, their place in the nine while other players ar,
held to a strict accountability for the work
