BASE BALL.

The Matter Settled at Last and the Bos OF
Club at Last Lifts AlOfj the Peunant.
The great contest between the league
clubs for the pennant which has been so
close during the whole season was finally
determined last week in favor of the Bos-
tons, who won GO games. The Chicagos
are credited with SO games, Providence So,
Cleveland 55, Buffalo 81, New York 46,
Detroit 40, Philadelphia II. The Chicago
Times in commenting upon the result
clearly intimates that Chicago lost the PEN
nant in consequence of late hours, hard
drinking and other indulgences while the
club was on its two eastern trips. It also
says that Goldsmith is growing too fat to
be effective as al pitcher. All the men of
the Chicago club have been reserved for
next year, so it seems as though the mana
gers do not agree with the Times. Of the
general result the Tribune speaks as fol-
lows:
The long contest between the league
clubs for the championship was concluded
last evening. The interest has been we'll
maintained throughout the season, and the
last week was the most exciting in the his
tory of the game. The right to fly the
pennant the coming season was decided
only three days ago, and second place
could not be awarded uatil the close of the
play last evening The Boston club has
played steady up hill game, with but few
spurts. With the pennant just before them
the Hub players worked with an earnestness
and devotion which won in the long run.
They deserved everything they got, and
there will be but little kicking
over the result. It was for the interests of
the game, too. Eastern people were be-
ginning to tire Of seeing their favorite
mines struggle hopelessly for the pennant
year after year. Losing interest il the
game, they did not patronizs their own
clubs sufficiently, and had the champion
ship again been captured by the west it is
doubtful whether four clubs could be
maintained in the east the coming year.
Again, the Chicago enthusiasts the coming
season will be interested the more, since
all the Chicago players will be put on
their meGtle to recover the lost emblem of
superiority.
Chicago takes second place, This was
much to be desired, but it could not be
predicted with safety yesterday morning.
The result of the game between Providence
and Buffalo was much too uncertain for
prophecies. Buffalo came outIabead and
Chicagy defeated Philadelphia with thor
oughness which showed that the champi-
ons of the present season proposed to
reach second place if they could not be
first The Providence team lost game
at critical juncture, and therefore drop
to third place on the record,
The Cleveland club, which started out
with the brightest of prospects, and which
maintained the lead with vigor for time
became disorganized later in the season
and secures only fourth place. result
due, no doubt, in great measure to the in
jury to DAILY, one of the most effective
pitchers in the league.
The other clubs have not changed their
relative positions for weeks, and the Phil
adelphia club close the season at the tail of
the list, which they have so persistently
guarded for 80 many weeks.
