Gossip About the Nines-Thc nation
ais Averages Talk.
The New Yorks can beat the Chcagos
every time now that the championship is
settled. The Sporting World openly charges
that Jim Murtrie did not wish to win the
championship this year, but had rather
come In close second aud win 1t next.
The weather to-day being fine, the game
between the Baltimore and Nationals will
lie played at Capitol Park. The record
with the Baltimorcs now stands Nationals
two, Baltimores, one, a new series, how
ever, was started, and the Baltimores have
won the first game But few people be-
lievc that the Baltimores can defeat the
Nationals, all things being equal, and II
the home nine does not pull of q victory
the crowd will be greatly disappointed
Friday and Saturday the Now York giants
put In their second appearance here this
season, and II is safe to say that no balls
will be rung In on the home boys. The
Nationals are stronger than they were when
they first crossed bats with the New Yorks,
and should win ut least one of the two
games.
Mr. O'Rourke, the official scorer Of the
Nationals, has prepared a table for the
National Republican, showing the batting
and fielding averages Of the whole nine.
Many people will be surprised at the show
ing made by White, the little short-stop Of
the Nationals, while most people thought
him good fair batter, but few would have
believed that his average was 1881, and this
too in the largest number of games played,
1871. From the way Burch has been batting
lately, his average, 1862, is a surprise. Six
men on the present nine with an average Of
.3C0 or better is a showing to be proud Of.
Barr Is probably one Of the heaviest batters
among all the pitchers in the country. The
fielding averages are Just as creditablo.
Seven of the team have fielding averages Of
800 or better Baker leads with .9S2. Or,
in other words, he has put out S4 men Mt
first base assisted IL times, with total Of
10 errors Barr Is second with an average
of $40. Cook and Fulmor, both show up
finely, the former with .g2S and the latter
.?52. Taking into consideration the fact
that these averages include all the games
played with the strongest mines in the
country, IL is record for the club and
Manager Seaman, TO be proud Of
Turf Notes.
The management Of the Baltimore Asso-
citation has been severely criticised by turf
men and newspapers for their tardiness in
getting out their official programme II
has been impossible for owners to know
what races they were going to have. In
this connection n number Of complimentary
things have been said Of Secretary Mcintyre
aud our own jockey club.
