Umpire. Mr.. Tucker
These two clubs will meet again to-day on the
a.ional grounds aud the BaltimOres will try
and pay the Nationals bar!I for the defeat OF
yesterday. Tho National club has received
news that does not sit well. They have been
officially informed OF tho disbanding of the
Springfield club aud consequently they
will not no here to play the games
announced tor this week. This will almost
demosh all prospects of the Nationals for
securing first place in the championship race,
aud it looks very much like IL was trick OF
the Springfclds to throw tho Albany club to
tho front and as far out of danger as possible.
The former had only four of its scheduled
games remaining unplaycd-thrco with the
Nationals aud one with the Worcesters-
by dropping out now 1t would take just three
chances from the Nationals aud leave them
only six, two Of which games are with the
Albany club, and probably will never be
| played. because Albany will not agree on a
time. If tho Nationals should even win the
remaining four it would only place them
| twenty-six games won, which would not be
sufficient to win the championship.
Tho Holyokcs have eight more games to
play and so have the Albanys, four of them
| with each other, aud the former is tho only
| close competitor the Albanys now have to fear.
| by the breaking up ofthe Springfelds the Holy
okes drop one victory and two defeats, and the
Albanys one victory and two defeats, making the
| latter and the Nationals at present stand tie
| for first place. Ii each Of those clubs win ono
half the games they still havo to play, it will
make tho Albany 20 aud HOlyokes %. Should
| the Nationals capture their three games with
| the New BedfOrds and one with tho Holy Okes,
that would make them stand PC games won,
and then it would ncccssitato playing OF tho
two games with the Albany to settle the
status of each club; but should each
Of them win game, then they
would BIO no bctter OFF than they are now.
However, time will tell whether or not the
dirty business done at Springfield will carry
the championship to Albany. Every dodge
possible has been practicod to destroy the
chances of its coming TO this District, but this
is about tho meanest Of them all. 1t Is to be
hoped that tho next convention will tako some
steps to prevent repetition Of this sort oil
business next season. The Nationals having
released Meyerle, their first baseman, after
last Saturdays game, were In need OF substi
tute for him, aud Latham, late of tho Spring
fields has been secured. Mack, also of the
same club, has been engaged, and the tive
players are expected to arrive to-day
aud appear in the game this afternoon
The Nationals propose strengthening them
solves as much rs possible and fighting thS
battle to the end. Probably the Holyokes and
Now Bediords will disband this week. The
fever seems contagious, and if such a thing
should happen then all Of AlbahyS fondest
hopes would fade, aud the Nationals become
champions. That sort of luck, however. doeI
not run this way. Albany wants that cham
pionship. and if they cannot win it they viii
buy It, Now look out for tho announcement
that Pike has Joined them. lilo will just ii
that crowd.
