I Giants Poor Playing.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE pIsPATcH.l
BOSTON, July 26-Since the Bostons' return
from their recent Western trip they have been
putting up very steady game of ball. having
Dested all their Western rivals. with the ex
ception of Chicago. Anson's aggregation were
beaten badly in the initial game, but to the
surprise of all they walked away with the next
two games. Anson has as much gall as ever,
and when he left town he declared that Bos-
ton was not IN it; that the fight at the finish
would be between New York and Chicago.
Well, there is no telling how the fight may
end; it's long wayito the finish and many club
VIII be given surprise party between now and
the 10th of October. New York will get there
seems to be the cry from all sections Of the
country. but some Of the wise wise
ing should get injured-and 1t has
happened many times in the past-then look
out for a big drop on the part of the New York
ton club have a trio of catchers that no club in
the country can equal. Brown and Murphy. of
the New Yorks, are good catchers; but when
comparable Buck I Ewing. y they iley @ sppear ' like
mere pigmies. Ewing Is the greatest ball
player in this country to-day; man who plays

players, is liable to meet with an accident
which might lay him up for several weeks. IL
Buck is injured you will see the Bostons go
away to the front while the Giants will do the
parachute act" In grand style.
+. Z. Bancroft, ACCOMPANIED by thunder
storm, blew into the suburbs of this city the
other day; then Bannie made his escape and we
next hear of him as disguised base ball man
ager who wants to throw up the sponge. Ban
croft gave up after the 9Th round, and now
Jack Glasscock will try to pilot the Hoosiers to
victory He will also invite some of the gang
to stop hitting the bottle. The Hoosiers. as
usual, put up a strong game against Boston,
and we would find no fault IL they only made
the same desperate stand against New York.
Young Daley, who was recently purchased from
the Jersey City team, made his first appearance
here against Indianapolis. and outside Of giving
too many bases on balls he acquitted himself
quite creditably His second appearance was
against Washington, on Monday last. and his
four bases on balls. in the seventh inning. gave
the Senators the game. Up TO the fatal
seventh the boy phenomenal PITCHED great
game, and had the Bostons done a little of their
old-time stick work the boy would have been
an easy winner. He struck out IL men, and
with proper encouragement he is going to be
the best south-paw twirler in the business.
Were it not for wildness he is about as good as
any of them to-day. Daley is % years of age,
halls from Poughkeepsie, N. Y, which is close
to Wappinger Falls, the home Of Dan Brouth-
ers.
pennant a few short months ago, is not quite
so sure that the pennant will float over the
Boston grounds next season. Ahl but how the
shekels are falling into Treasurer Billings
X
cIous valise and carts it off loaded down with
filthy lucre! I'VE may get there yet" says
Billings; "rll back the boys for, while
longer" So you see that
ga man convinced against his will
IS of the same opinion still.'
Up to date the attendance in this city has
nearly reached 10000, with many more i'm
portant games ahead, especially the series with
New York, which will draw out an enormous
attendance. The Phillies, too will draw big
crowds, and even the Senators, who are now
playing like four time winners, have not been
overlooked. Hewett's men drew well on Mon
day, the attendance approximating 8 500 but on
Tuesday they had the misfortune to run up
against a thunder shower.
John Morrill, is still here, and will talk busi-
ness with several parties as soon as his hand is
entirely healed. He has had offers from Louis
vile and London, but it is not likely that he
will leave the League, as John is one of the
highcockalorums of the Brotherhood.
Poor Pittsburgh am sorry the boys are not
doing better, but hope the hard luck which has
pursued them so long will soon take wings and
fly to some other community. As 1 told you,
Cleveland is now on the toboggan slide, and the
PhIIlies will soon jump into third position. An
son and his Windy City crew are pegging away
with fond hopes of getting into one of the lead
ing positions, but it is doubtful If the Chicks
get any better than number four.
Spaldings plan is not looked upon with
favor by the Boston players There would be
too much experimenting with youngsters, be-
sides it would crush minor leagues.
