BridegroOms Won by the Latter, 8 to z.
The worlds championship race progressed
little yesterday, the Bridegrooms winning from
the Giants on the polo grounds by the score of

emit. But eight innings we're played, Gaffney
ing the first half of the ninth, with three
Giants on the bases and one man out Cud-
worth Of Worcester, who sat in the stand,
made himself very obnoxious to President
Day Of New York by lighting piece Of paper
and will hereafter be kept from the grounds
New York started the first with two runs, but
could not score again until the fifth, when they
made three more. In the meantime, and in
this inning, the other side had scored all their
runs and the two tallies made by the Giants in
the sixth did not suffice. WEIGH and Ewing and
Hughes and Clarke were the starting batteries,
but WEIGH gave way to O'Day in the fifth and
Hughes to Caruthers in the seventh. New
York made Is hits and errors and Brooklyn II
hits and 8 errors.

THE BROTHERHOOD SCHEME, ETC.
The Cleveland officials have chartered the
Cleveland base ball company and will secure in
functions upon their players from working q ny
where else. Al johnson, however, has secured
a two years lease on site for park, and has
started work on the erection Of grand stands
This, he declares, is for the use Of tho brother

Manager Tom Lotus of the Clevelands saws
1T would pay the league clubs to form a pool to
be divided up in prizes for the different teams.
Let the first prize" said he, in speaking of
the scheme, "be 81 1000, for instance; the second
$500, the third $500, the fourth $500, the fifth
$500. the sixth $500, the seventh $500 and the
eighth 500. This would give the men some
thing to play for. and better games would be
the result. Philadelphia Inquirer.
The time has not yet arrived for pooling. 1t
is so recent that the public opinion as to base
ball was filled with doubts concerning its
honesty that any such scheme would undoubt-

tors. There surely should be something more

aging announcement. ~ Philadelphia Press.
That is extremely gratifying, for Arthur
ought to know.
Ex-President Mills of the league, speaking of
the brotherhood scheme, says: II have no
doubt it would be disastrous failure finan-
cially. The division Of patronage would iniure
both, but chiefly the new league which would
have much the heavier financial burden TO
bear. and which certainly could not pay its
guaranteed salaries for single season unless
the capitalists should 60 down deep in their
pockets to make up the deficiency in receipts.
There appears to be a widespread misconcep-
ton Of the amount Of money made in base bail,
and for this consider the mistaken advertise
ing methods of some Of the masnates primarily
responsible"
Manager Jim Hart of Boston talks thus about
the plan: 81 any fully convinced that the
brotherhood means to go it alone, and if the
league thinks otherwise it will be badly left.
III there is q compromise effected it will be at a
big sacrifice by the league. Personally can't
see where the men will better themselves, but
they know their own business better than do.
for, in fact, have not questioned the men on
the subject. Straws show the way the wind
blows and believe the men will go 1t alone
next year."
