 On all sides there is storm of indig- nation because the Athletic management suspended Pitcher Seward without pay. This young man has done great work for his club, and the punishment is be- lieved to be both unj just and unmerited. Patrick O'Rourke of Ansonia writes the Sentinel of that town to this effect: ''Having seen in your paper the great feat of Steve Brodie going over Niagara Falls, agree to accomplish the same for the sum of $500 or forfeit $100 if don't, in my green suit from Kilken- n.y."
 There is no longer any doubt, if there ever has Leen any, that Indianapolis will remain in the league in 1890. It is the intention to make one or two changes ill the team outside the box, and at least two more good pitchers will be secured. Andrews has added mater ially to the strength of the team.
 The series of games for the champions ship of the state between the New Ha- vens and the Hartfords has been rear ranged.

All the New Haven players are Ger, tain that they will defeat the Hartfords in the series,

The Bostons have arranged tc play ill Washington during that week. That is q pretty bad back down for the Boston manager. Still he will be able tc get the series from the Senators witl more ease than he could from the cham. pions.

He said: "It is pretty tough work to fight politicians property holders, rain, wind, mud anG tho Boston club, but when it eomos tt the Atlantic ocean, well, you may force water on us, but you can't mak' us take it."
 The managers of the New York clul will try to play the two postponed Cleve land games i'll Cleveland. Indeed, some more postponed games may be trans ferred to the west. The players all sa, that they will be able to do better worl at the bat in the west than they have a home lately. iQnnor said yesterday :'The man1ier in which the new Role grounds are laid out interferes with tn batting. Why? We'll, the wind Ina been with the pitchers for the past thu e weeks, and it increases their speed. A for hitting, the only way to get a hit to keep the ball down so that the win cannot get under it. tell you tha wind has hurt our batting.'
