whipped the Brown University nine by
81 TO 0.

| The leading teams In the League and
American association for 1886, are those
whose players were nearly the same the
last month of the season as the first,
while the tail.enders on both orgauiza-
tons are the teams who were changed so
otter during the season that scarcely an
original player remained to the finish.
The monthly record OF the league
season shows thai Detroit has the pest
recork for one months play, they having
won 20 out Of 20 In May, and 20 out of 20
In July. .Chicago's best record was in
May, 10 out OF %; New York's best was
10 out OF 81 In June, aud Philadelphia, IL
out OF "a IN Julyi Boston's best was Is
i ont of 28 In July; ST. Louis best, ID out
of % In August Kansas City's best, 8ont
of "a in August, and Washlngton's best,
8 out of II IN September. The Baltimore
club played eight tie genes In 1886, they
leading the association clubs In this
respect.
A singular feature OF the contest be-
tween the Mines OF the Pennsylvania
University and Columbia College at
Philadelphia IN April IL, was the fact that
the Pennsylvania nine made no less than
eleven runs of ten safe hits, while the
Columbia's scored by six runs, though
they made thirteen base hits.
In the American association, Atkison,
Of the Athletics, disposed OF the Metro
politans without their making single
nit on June 10.
Terry OF the Brooklyn's pitched out
| the st. Louis champions without their
making a single safe hit on July "a. Dnd
Kilroy did the same thing at Pittsburg on
Ostober O.
The first triple play OF the season was
made April Shy players Of the Technology
nine, while playing with the Boston pro-
fesBionals.
The best pitching done by tho Brooklyn
pitchers this season, was that OF Toole,
| who Is also the best fielder, batsman aud
bare runner of Brooklyn's four pitchers.
Toole played In twelve championship
games, aud Of these he won four with
| PlttsbuTg, and one each from the Cincin-
natl anu GAINESVILLE teams. Had he been
given half the show that Porter was,
Brooklyn would have had the second
| place sure,
The best managed teams In 1886 were
the Chlcsgos and Philadelphia, while the
worst were che New York and Washing
ton. The best managed Of the American
clubs was the st. Louis, and the poorest,
the Baltimores, one leading and the other
being last on the list.
The Southern league season Of 1885
was made failure financially and other
wise by the participation OF pool gamblers
In the working OF the games, these fell
lows buying up players, managers, scor-
ers and even club directors, besides
tempting umpires. The experience OF
Northern clubs with the pool-seling led
them to repudlate II years ago, and the
Southern clubs should have pfohted by
the lesson.
In the Baltimore nine, which played the
/ Brooklyns on April %, the players were
j Kllr0y, Fulmer, Scott, Farrell, Somer,
Houck, Greer, Hoover 9ndi Palyell. In
that which played the Plttsburg team on
1 Oct Der 8 the players were McGiunis,
Dolan, Scott, SJmer, Davis, McCnllen,
Purcell, Sanders and Manaing. This Is a
sample 81 the laundering management
| which led to constant changes on the
team each month, the result being that
the ciuo was last in the pennant race.
The Brooklyn CLUB benefited financially
this last season by seventeen Sunday
games At Rldgewood, and st no game
were than less than 5000 people present,
the highest number exceeding 1000.
