WORLD OF SPORTS.

Anson said some days ago that he could win the pennant with the Indianapolis team. Judging from the game the hoosiers are putting up at present the old man knew what he was talking about.
 Tom Burns of the Chicagos is playing poor ball again,
 A Detroit dispatch says: The Detroit club is demoralized. Bennett has sore hands, and Sutcliffe, the terrible, has to do all the catching. Conway has lame arm, the result of getting hit with pitched ball, La Rocque, the Lynn wonder, has turned out to be n "chump" and Ganzel is obliged to play second. Getzein is pitch ing very poorly, The outhelders are not hitting, and the veteran stickers seem to be discouraged. It is the general impress sion here that unless the Detroits get into shape very quickly they will find them selves out of the race.
