John Augustine Elliott, q young man Of Is
years, wns killed almost instantly while playing
Of e s oen \
ganized match. aud It was while batting In the
second innings that Elliott received his death
blow. The ball, which was tossed by the pitcher
about two inches bslow the right ear. He was
observed to drop the bat and stagger slightly,
made ready to strike. Just rs the pitcher was
about to deliver another bali, Elliott staggered
and fell to the ground The alarmed players
rushed up and carried the young man to shady
spot few yards OF, when every effort was made
to resuscitate him, but without avail, and in ten
minutes after ho,recetyed. the blow he Was:

We cordially coincide with the sentiments ex-
pressed on the subject Of uniforms by a corre-
9s1n IKE esa as sb6!f fS
the proposed change in the uniform of our
champion baseball team through your pa
acceptable to Chloago audience as the old
White-Stocking uniform, which We have been
used to SO long and liked so we'll until it WAS
white with the exception Of dark neckttes, and
Chicago embroidered in dark letters across the
front Our city certainly need not be sIa ashamed
other uniform would look as well with white
stockings. And, as President Hubert remarked
retain the white stockings, as that is our trade
mark ,"
Our Cleveland special fntimates that Jones
was laid of yesterday because Of Door playing
the day before. We knew this would be tele-
n ff
we muy state that there is another story to be
told, and the truo one- Some time ago be was
Indifference. We knew at the time that it was
because tho Club Wus in arrears to him for sal
ary as well as to other members Of the team
course the Boston papers denied it. and the Bos-
ton Club indignantly sneered at 1t. This time
there was no mistake. We have private 1ele-
gram from member Of the Boston team, stat
ing that Jones yesterday demanded his back
suspendea Tbas Is tie trth and can AI not be
honestly controverted. When Jones was 80
anxious to receive his release from the Bostons
but it was refused. Theirs are some things
about this failure to pay players which had bet

Enquirer.
The Cincinnati Commercial makes the follow
ing candid and truthful observations: IAN en-

tercst, for it is this ill-suited combination that
has lost the Club 80 many friends and been one
down to figure where it reaches but sn aver
age of 200 persons to the game. The Worcester
Club left here last night with SO Us its gross

the pnssageo of the suggested rule,
VIII Cleveland have u League club next year?
This is a question asked On every hand just now,
upon which tho matter depends, first, the posi-
ton the present Club occupies at the close Of
the season; and second, which Is more impor-
tant. the condition Of the finances OF the Asso-
citation. Up to within week OF 50 ago there |
was neither loss nor gain in the money de-
partnent, but the poor luck OF the CLUB during
the past week las tesSene1 the attendance at !
the games somewhat, and disgnstcd the public. I
It Is safe to say that the Cub has now gor

tory may be looked for in four games out Of |
avery five. To be sure. the present Club has six !
gnmes with Chicago, but, as strange as it may
'eem, the players have more confidence when
they tackle them than ut any other time. It re-
nains with the people as much As with the
clubs, and perhaps more SO, to settle the ques-
Ion as to nine next season. The few ardent
admirers of the game who have stcol the brunt

stll pull out OF the business altogether. By
riends to do the same, thus swelling the nt-
endance and increasing the gate receipts, the
possibility Of q failure in the money line can
'e avoided, and IN that event we feel sure in
aging Cleveland will be represented in the
league next year by good club. Next to CHI
