 Murphy, pitcher of the Syracuse Star Base
 Ball Club, which leads in the International
 League contest was so chagrined because
 the Buffalo nine, which is seventh in the race,
 defeated the Stars, that he went on big
 spree after the game. Buffalos pitcher, Fan
 ming, had secured three hits on Murphy 6
 delivery, and Tanning had kept tue ball away from Pitcher Murphy when b. was at bat. Murphy became abusive and acted very disgra"ciully in the Gcncsse lobby Manager Chapman remonstrated with him, when Murphy struck him in the face. Chapman
 retaliated and a red hot exchange of blows followed, Chapman getting the best Of the fight. He fined Murphy $50 for being drunk. The New Iurks need u little more ginger. Earle, the Cincinnati tourist, recently missed
 the train and was fined $50 for his forgetful- ness.
 1t has been developed sinc,. the game be- tween the Brooklyn and Columbus clubs that Caruthers was seriously injured that he will probably he laid up for some time. Mir. | Byrne will send him to New York for the pur- | pose Of revolving medical attention, and if | possible, get him in shape for the st. Louis | games.
 That was very clever on the part of Man | agcr McGuniglc in not forcing his claim at | Columbus.
 Philadelphia seems to have struck snag. | Don't you think that Capt. Irwin would help you along, Manager Wright? | The Mctropolitans went to Port Jervs and beat the team of that city by 12 to 4.

Pickett | vill llc0y oil ber n A new base ball league IS belng organized in eastern Massachusetts, in which the towns of Holbrook, Randolph Canton and West l Quincy are to be represented. It will be called the Old Colony Central League. It is believed among certain base ball men that Morris. the Pittsburgh lelt-hand pitcher, | will never be what he has proven to be in the past This beliefis is based on the fact that his arm is not and will probably never again be in perfect condition.
 The Washingtons have released Catcher Banning because there is no room for him. It is said that the Pittsburghs are trying to | negotiate deal for Hank O'Day's release. Hank is warm weather pitcher and when in form he has been superior in the box. Anson won't get three out of four from the New Iorks after all. Rowe and White are not making a fortune

This is | the fourth time in many years that Toe has been called from the West on account of death in his family
 John Hopkins says he would ike a trial | with either the American Association or | National League, but prefers the former | organization. If he cant get cithcr, be would | be willing to try Minor League. In tile | eleven years that Hopkins has been umpir- | ing he was always praised for his good work. Garhardt's batting average to date is AZ. The Jersey Ctys have not lost n game Us l yet on their trip.
