The poor condition Of the grounds
rendered brilliant and spirited play well
nigh an impossibiliIy last week, while in
great many instances games had 70 be
postponed on account Of rain. There
has been little OF no alteration in the rel
alive standing OF the League clubs tow
ara each other.
The New York team is playing strong
game on its present trip, and is danger
ously near the leaders. The Phillies,
too. are doing well away from home.
The Bostons and Chcag0s are in the
lead separated from each other by frac-
tional difference Both are using their
utmost endeayors TO keep ahead, and il IS
only a question Of time when they will
have to relax their trying gate.
The Detroits with all their players
signed, and no cripples, are not playing
their last seasons game they must brace
up or they will lose all chance OF winning
the pennant.
The indianapolis and Washington
clubs are hopelessly battling in the rear,
with odds in favor OF the Washingtons
beng last at the close of the season.
In The Association the incinnatis are
little in the lead Of several clubs which
are punched for the second place
The result Of days game might en-
Urcly change tne position OF these clubs,
70 nearly even are they in the race.
Louigville's weakness is surprise to
many, while Cleveland, for a two years
ODD, is doing remarkably well
In the Association the excitement will
probably run high this season, for 81.
Louis has, by selling some Of their best
PLAYERS, made other clubs her equal.
Il seems to be base ball etiquette that
club for lis first year must remain in the
rear; it looks as if Kansas City will fol

present carnival of burglary and highway
robbery in Boston and its suburbs has given
rise young man and his wife, who
live on the outskirts of a village about
ten miles from the city, were the most
badly scared people. The other night
they drove in light wagon to the nearest
railroad station in order to get load of
groceries and other provisions, including
a half dozen of champagne which had
been sent out from Boston for their
Christmas festivities. Their road home
is lonely and as some ro5beries had recently
taken place in that vicinity they felt lit
tie nervous at being obliged to traverse it
on dark night. However, the husband
poopooed his wife's fears, and nothing
happened until they were passing through
a patch of woods halfway from the viii
lage Just then the report evidently of
a pistol shot was heard, and then another
and another terrified the travellers. The
young man put the whip to the horse and
the animal dashed forward, but six shots
altogether were fired before the fusilade
ended, and both occupants of the wagon
thought that their last hour had come.
The efferyescent fluid had proved too
much for the wire fastening on the bot
ties.
