To,MoRRow's GAME on THE BLAND.
TheAllesheny team made It's last appear
auce here in the fall OF 'S2, when It de-
ieated the Standards Sto0. It does not
contain single man now that was on ita
force then, and 10 vastly stronger organ
iEstion. The Louisville Americans were
never here, the old League team was, but
they are an even match for the Pittsburgh
men, and the only club in the country that
beat the champion st. Loulb team three
straight games. To.mofrow's game at the
Fair Grounds bstween these celebrated
clubs will be the first opportunity this city
and vicinity has ever had to witness two
American teams play together. The cost
q securing these clubs is 90 heavy that It
will take O large crowd OF spectators 10 let
the guarantors out even, and We trugt, con.
gequenlly, that this foe game will be very
hberally patroniEed.
I Baldwin, Of the Detroits, Is the best
batting pitcher in the League, slightly ex.
ceiling even Ferguson, Of the Philiies.
Jack Lynch seems 10 have regained all
his old.tlme skill, and Of late has been the
most effective pitcher In the Association.
Chicago won II out OF l6 games with
Boston and made 169 runs, 1883 hits and
12l errors 10 Boston's 152 runs, 1852 hits
and $50 errors.
I Cincinnati was the only club to win
four consecutive games on the Baltimore's
grounds this year, even st. Louis couldn't
DO IT,.
ST. Lonis can now boast Of the tsllsst
battery in the country In Healy and sut-
clifFe. Each Is thin, lanky and fraction
over feet high.
x Philadelphia has won IL out, Of is Rameg
with Buffalo and made 80 runs, l59 hits
aud ITO errors while Buffalo made Is runs,
l25 hits and liz errors.
The American Association will hold q
preliminary meeting on the 10th, one day
betora the Joint convention, to agree upon
d co1rse Of action.
I, A Chicago reporter gives It out that
somehow or other Comiskey will be Sc
cured TO play hrss for the ohicagos next
year and that Anson will manage the
team.
phenomenal" Smith, OF Newark, has q
greatly enlarged head: He only wants
'$3, 900 next season aud claims he has offers
from every professional club in the coun-
try.
7 The Dstroits have given New York
plenty OF hard'work this season; although
the latter has won but ont OF 10 games.
In the series New York made 81 runs, 144
hits and 127 errors, while Detroit got 60
runs, 1l5 hits and 122 errors.
When the st. Louis Browns reach home
they are 10 be met at The depot by all the
bali clubs and athletic associations in the
city and accorded warm reception. The
festivities will end with q grand banquet
and Bpeech-naking by Hon. ). o'Neii,
but by the time the ovation arrives the
boys will be in such q blissful condition
they won't mind the Honorable.
The Pfovidence.St. Louis series resulted
in a draws games each. Providence
made 63 runs, 1l9 hits and 1913 errors, TO
st. Louis 72 runs, 1872 hits and 10S errors.
This shows that st. Louis outrun, outbat-
ted aud outfelded the Yankees, and yet
could only win one.half the games.
Truly the st. Louis team has been un-
lucky, and this Is but one instance in
