some in its effect as that OF expe!llng dishonest

can never hope to play In IL League club.
The Cincinnati Enquirer man has been tab1-
lattng some statistics covering tho League gau1es
played prior TO June l3, from which 1t appears
That Joncs. of Boston, leads tho batting viii I'm

Ru leads largely in runs and bnSe~htts, and IS

had twenty Que earned runs made ngainst thotn,
tho next lowest being Cleycland, tvvcnty-cight,
which Is certainly proud rccDF1 for HGCnr-
mick, who has doue all the pitching for bis club.
Boston shows weakest in the matter OF runs
earned by opponents.
After reading Of the enormous hostility Great
ed BY Ansons S style OF running ball team down
ia Providence and D,ston, aud Yf the rage Of the
spectators against him being wrought up almost
to the pt>fnt Of nlnbbtng him, It Is rather ANUS

they expressed their profound admiration
fur him as 4 bull player and 4 team Captain, and
rather more than intimatcd thnt Providence
would like to secure his sertiues for next year.
The incident serves to illustrate the petty and
silly h2bit Of exaEgeration into which some Of
the Eastern ball reporters have fallen in their
treatment OF tho Chicago nine who are accused
Of unnumbered atrocities toward the gentle and
lamblike Young men who appear ~ the field as
or Providence no such trash is ever printed
originally, nor Is thnrc city III America whore
such shameful and abusive phrtisanship IS
shown By spectators as IL those two centres OF
have uade themselves dIsllkcd in Boston and
Providence merely because they hnyc why ut
winning games. and becnuae they run thoir
bases with dush nnd daring never boiore seen
by tho crowds and the locai papers Is simply
Cuutemptible.
