NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-A careful review of the baseball situation at present in- dicates plainly that Boston has about secured clinch hold on the pennant.
 When the past week opened the NewYorks had the highest prospects of reducing the lead of the Bostons. They not only failed to. seize the opportunity, but they occasionally developed an ele- ment in their exhibitions that will likely ruin their chances for the pennant. They have not played with the charac- teristic confidence and steadiness that at various times this season enabled them to crawl out of close positions. This was shown by the Giants especially on Tuesday. They played wretched game and were beaten with ease by the Washingtons. It is the indifference and carelessness which every little while manifests itself In the team that is causing anxiety among Its supporter The men arc not playing steady game, but give brilliant exhibition to-day and offset it with wretched ono to- morrow.
 Boston hos not yet won the pennant, however. At present they would have the lead even if the disputed six-inning game with Indianapolis is thrown out and the game at Philadelphia on Mon day Is decided draw.
 The work of the other clubs is also commanding moro attention at present than at any other part of the season. Pittsburg. Chicago and Indianapolis arc going to prove very uncertain in decid- ing the championship. Chicago has crowded up remarkably on the Phillies, and careful work must mark the Phil lies games to prevent AnSon from talk ing third place. The "Phillies" need to be on their guard. To go West with only few games ahead of Anson's mon means downfall. If the Western clubs continue their present good work in the coming trip there is reason for Wright's men to become anxious.
 Once more the Brooklyns and their Eastern colleagues are called upon to meet the teams of the West. This is the last series between the rivals of the two sections, and too much importance cannot be placed upon the resultof these games. The Brooklyn manage ment is elated over the bright prospects of winning tho flag. They have twenty five games to play on their own grounds, while the Browns have only ten in St. Louis. They will be called to play twenty-five games away from home, | whereas Brooklyn hos only twelve. If l the theory that club can play better 1 at home than abroad develops into | fact, the strength of the Broooklyns' l rivals in comparison with that of the teams St. Louis Is bound to meet when the latter go West, ought to be offset materially and the highest percentage given to BYrne's men.
