The Bost0ns. after their brilliant squirt seem
to be playing in hard luck again.

clothes yesterday. N. B.-so did Mr.. Fergu-
sons.
Mike Dorgan, of the New York club, a brother
of the local player, is suffering from a sun
stroke.
nyesterday's game was not 'worth the price
OF admission" 1t would be interesting to know
what kind OF game wOuld be.
Luff has been suspended indefinitely by the
I,ouisvilles for drunkenness, and Latham was
fined 500 for the same weakness.

Getter in the League. having secured sixty up to

gained, composed of ten clubs, taking in the
largest cities not represented in the League or
American Association.
Fred. Warner, an old Indianapolis favorite,
met with kindly reception yesterday, but he
showed base ingratitude by making a home run
and bringing in three other men by the hit.
"Move-up Joe Gerhardt, of the Louisville
ball players in the country, is suffering from a
stroke of paralysis, which may prove very seri-
GUS
The attendance at Baltimore continues big,
seldom fewer than 5000 to 4, 900 people, and
never fewer than 900. This, in the face of the
clubs losing record. speaks well for the support
given the game there.
After this week the st. Louis club will play
twenty-eight games away from home They
will find that Jordan is a much harder road TO
travel over somebody elses ash heap than it is
on their own grounds

the old New York Mutual club defeated the CHI,
oago White Stockings by a score of 8 TO o, which
originated the term "Chicagoed" to designate a
game in wnich a club had been blanked.
The Providence club gave a remarkable exhi-
bittOn of ball playing at Cleveland on Wednes-
day, making 8 runs, 10 hits and l error, while
their opponents aid not make base hit, and
only one man reached first base during tho
game,
Gross, OF the Philadelphia club, has recently
struck terrific batting streak. In the last four
teen games he has been fifty-nine times at the
bat and made twenty nine safe hits including
nine two-baggers and four three -basers, running
up an average of .49l.
Billy Taylor, of the Aleghenys, has proved
himself nearly as good a utility man as the ceIe-
0rated "Buck" Ewing. In the past few weeks
he has played III the pitchers aud catcher's po-
sitions successfully, and has done equally as well
as an outheder or baseman
Columbus Journal on Thursdays game: "The
game was without special interest to the ], 900
people present. The fielding of tho local men
was loose and in some cases simply wretched.
The batting and base running were no better.
oLeary's men played the field in almost perfect
manner. and their batting was very creditable.
