unusual way, even at the expense OF his
friends. But the Sherman men may be
able to Illustrate these designs and defeat
Blaine OF his now manifest desire
for tho nomination. In that case
a dark horse may be trotted out,
and Sherman may swing his forces in
support Of Mckinley, who stands well
with his party on account OF his admit
teddy able speech on the Mills bill, and
would, II is thought, carry the Convention
by storm. But then, come to think OF it,
II is not likely Convention, more than a

THE MEMPHIS CLUB PLAYS A VERY
BPIRITEEss GAME.
Beaten by z to Gan Accurate State
ment OF theo'sAlarios of South
ern League Players on the
TIE

Three consecutive shut-outs at the hands
Of the New Orleans club has the suspicious
appearance Of being due not to accident, but
design. There Is n9,hing like II in the his
tory OF baseball. Hthere ever has been a
professional club, irihny league or association,
shut out three consecutive times on its home
grounds by club that does not out-class IL
TuE APPEAL never heard OF the occurrence.
Baseball patrons here do not understand II,
and the universal conviction is that the
team Is disguised and Is not trying to play
ball. In that opinion THk APPEAB does not
concur.
The runs made by the visiting nine yester-
day were made on costly errors by players
whose loyalty and fidelity no fair man will
question. There's faithful little Davy Me-
keough, who would risk his neck 10 put a
man out, made two horrible throws 10 sec
ond, each OF which cost run. Peltz made
an awful throw from center that cost run.
Andrews made wild throw from first TO
plate which cost run. All these are play
ers OF unquestioned honesty and players who
always play the best ball they know how.
The game was played we'll enough with
the exception noted. Nichols held the Wis.
itors down 10 eight hits while the home
team got but four OIL Powell. The boys hit
tine Dali nhru enough 10 score but luck was
against them and the sphere would invaria-
bly, drop into the hands Of Pelican out.
fielder. The following tells the story Of the
run getting. Analyze the game and see II Il
does not compare more than favorably with
the games played yesterday. either In the
league or association: In the first inning
Fuller hit 10 center for one base. Powell
struck out, but McKeough threw wild to
Andrews, who had 10 skip Oft base TO get the
ball, allowing Powell 10 reach first In safety,
Fuller scampering on TO third and home.
Andrews threw wild TO plate and Fuller
scored.
In the sixth inning Fuller again got q
single aud while Behan was at bat started
for second. McKeouyh threw over Phelan's
head into center field and Fuller again
scored.
In the seventh inning Houck went 10 first
on five balls, made second and third on Nc
Keough's overthrow 10 second and scored on
PolL's poor throw 70 plate. Werden hit u
left field for one base, stole second and scored
on McVey's double TO right field. Bradley
flied 10 Pcltz, Shaw hit over short-stops head
and McVcy scored. Shaw was put out steal
ing second and Fuller retired the side By
foul tipping to MoKeough.
