A GRAND RALLY.


behind the yirginias.
The Nationals are making a grand
rally for the lead in the Eastern Asso.
citation, and It looks as though they
would attain their object. They are
now only four games behind the Rich
monds, and there is every reason to ex-
pect that they will win again to-day.
With only three games to tie and six to
play on their home grounds, it is pretty
certain that they will lead in the race
before week is passed. The games
here the last of this week and the first
OF next week will be intensely exciting,
and it is fortunate for home baseball
patrons that the turning point will be
reached while the club Is ut home. The
nine, rs now constituted, Is hard one
to beat, and the fall games with the
American Association mines will be
fully as intcre sting as the spring ones
were.
O'Day, by the fine manner in which
he pitched yesterday, added new laurels.
His record in Pittsburg was excellent.
He has all the curves, Is cool and ready
to take advantage of any weak point In
a batter, and has faced all the hard hit
ters in the country. His pitching yes
terday was as effective as that Of any
man who has faced the Virginias this
year. Cook caught him without an
error. POwclfs batting, as on the first
day, contributed good deal to the sue
cess OF the team.
There is so much interest in the
game to-day between the Nationals
and the Richmonds that the score by
innings will be received at Mr.. Scan
Ions.
Scores of games played yesterday are
as follows: Providence Philadelphia, 5
to Boston-New York, 8 to 4; Chi
cago- Buffalo, to 9; Louisville Cincin-
natl, II to 2; neutrality-suspicious.,
to |; Athletic Baltimore, 4 to 4; St.
Louis-Pittsbu &, 3 to !; Nutional-Rich-
mond, Z to 0; Tronton-Newark, to A.
1t is doubtful il IL was wise ia the
New York papers to accuse the other
league clubs of trying to help Chicago
win the pennant. The charges cannot
be substantlated and 1t makes The
other clubs all the more anxious TO de-
feat New York for being so accused.
