POOR WORK OF THE NEw-YoRK CLUD-THE AMERi-
CAN ASSOCIATION.
The Detroit club holds TO the lead in the
National League race with tho tenacty OF bulldog
The club has playing in wonderful form ana de-
serves the excellent record II has made Tho wolverines
now have lead OF two over tho Chicago CLUB ana
arc FIVE games ahead OF tho local nine SO far this sea-
,on the Detroit nine has twentysK games out OF
thirty-two played Tho Chicago nine Is close behind
with two dozen victories and only seven defeats inc
angular coincidence about the Chcago's standing Is
that each OF the clubs has won Just ono game
from the champions. Last year the Chicago cuo went
through the without losing game TO the Buhaio
club then League member and only being defeated in
one game by tho Detroit nine The NewYork club oc-
cuples third place with twenty-one victories and one
dozen defeata Had tho local club depended for Its
position upon record 1t has made during the last
week 1t would be about In last place. Inc
club has fallen considerably In the estima'
ton OF It's local followers. and II the players
do not do better work the club Will lose entirely many OF
its friends The tour OF the NewYork nine to Boston
was extremely unsatisfactory. After the Detroit ana
Chicago clubs had visited Boston and won with such
ease the OF the "Giants expected to sec them
do likewise The overwhelming defeats spread con.
alienation among tho admirers OF tho club Some
blamed the pitchers others the whole nine, while some
said It was MANAGER Mutres fault New-Yorkers are
quick forgive, however and II tho club improves In

and the nine will be lionzel a much as ever.
The trouble at present to be that the club can
not win way from home. suoh lucky persons so lib
orally endowed with iron muscles should not losc heart
as soon they leave their own door-steps The first
trip made away from home will be remembered by all
or the three games played In Philadelphia the New
Workers captured tho last 1t not overwhelming
victory either Then tho team was started westward
to conquer tho "Cowboys" In Chicago and
Detroit the club did not win 1t improved to-
ward close OF its and did good work In ST. Louis
and Kansas CITY. DevID, the new left-handed pitcher
may have a chance show his good points In day or
two Baseball enthusiasts who have grown weary or
the base caledb balls pitchers hope he VIII prove
The Philadelphia club 10 gradually improving It's post
ton as New-York lOaes its standing The Quaker CITY
nine only games behind the Giants In Victories
end has only lost games. The defeats given
TO New York apparently put new life into the
club and tho nine from the Hub ought 10 do bet
ter work the future. The St Lons Black Diamonds
occnpy sixth place and the general opinion seems TO DO
that club will mold better position at the close
Of tho season. The Kansas CITY team has forged ahead
OF Washington and the fight between the Two clubs TO see
which shall be the tail piece OF the League promises to
no unusually interesting Inc record OF all the ciuDs 10
