WITH THE BALLPLAYERS.
REFLECTIONS FROM THE DIAMOND.

playing. Muirie probably never before suffered suc1
mental anguish as during the last week. OF course
said he yesterday, The loss of weeks games al
home is blow TO a club in financial way
but the loss Of the probable victories hurts more
This our last week on home grounds and as the
team was in good shape counted upon winning
about every game we had to play. We hoped to
start West on evea terms with Boston. and If we
able 10 do this consider chances better than
those Of the New Enganders. We have not gwen
up the race yet by any means"
Several of the New-York players are not as CON
fdent of their teams success they ought to be.
They seem to thank that the Boston team is too
much favored by good luck7 TO be beaten. This Is
not the kind Of feeling 10 exist in the team If the
championship Is TO be won. Manager Mutre ought
to infse a little more courage into his men, II such
thing is possible. The loss Of the opportunity 10
Ilay last weeks games may not play such an i'm
portant part in the League race after all.
Now that the season Is beginning to wane, the
usual Brotherhood bugabOO is brought out for pubic
inspection. People will grow wearied of this scare
crow after while and will decline to pay further
attention TO It. The Brotherhood IS good thing
in It's way but II Is not everything. Baseball hourshed
long before the Brotherhood thought Of, and VIII
be enjoying popularity long after the Brotherhood
has become dead TO the world The latest scheme as
crbed to the Brotherhood VIII go record as the most
idotical canard of the eventfu season Of 1889 The
scheme simply embOdles the oustng of the present
owners Of the League and the brotherhood taking
charge itself A wealthy Clevelander named Johnson
IS said TO be hand and glove with
the players I'm the scheme. Director
Howe, a far-seeing baseball magnate, summed
up the situation In a clear and concise way when he
said the writer the other day It's all nonsense
young man, and won't amount 10 anything. Yes;
know this Johnson WELL but he does not mean any
l. ,,II I'm, tho ofbar 1av hat
could have the Cleveland club If he would pay me
per cent on the capital invested in the team and
grounds. No Johnson is friendly with the players, and
Hikes 10 travel around with the boys. The whos
matter is that II the Use Of JohnsOns name viii help
the players in correcting any OF their grievances,
why he is perfectly willing 10 allow them TO use IT,
Under such arrangement the players in one'or two
cities might do well enough but what would become
of dozen cities now prominent in baseball under
such management? Baseball is under business
principles now, and will be run that way 10 the end"
The Bidegrooms have also been sufferers by the
Storm and have not been able 10 play Of late stu,
the loss Of those games does not affect the team so
greatly as the the Giants. The Brooklyn team
has a good lead in the pennant race and the fewer
games played the more certain their pennant
chances. Only two games will be played in Brook

The Atlantic Association has been having serious
time Of it, as all minor league organizations have
