ingtons, is regarded as the coming batsman of
the country
Base ball will be resumed at Capitol Park to-
morrow, the willy Baltmores being our oppo-
nentS.
The washngtons played like a lot of amateurs
in the game yesterday.
Harrisburg knocked us out in the first round.
Nicholas, who did not get proper show while
here, has Joined the Wilmingtons. He is good
catcher and No. batsman.
After, a good deal of objection from almost
every club in the Atlantic Association President
Braden has removed Umpire Daniels, and in his
place has appointed Mr.. Charlie X. Hunt, of
ment on Daniels, for he couldn't be much worse.
Newark is very, very shaky, and unless the
home patrons attend the games more numerously
the team will have to walk the plank. A state
ment has been made by the directors of the club
to the Newark people, in which they state that
$1,000 is needed to finish the season. but up to the
present time only about $500 has been subscribed.
The interruption of Sunday games is the reason
of the trouble.
Rays feat of a home-run: two triples, and two
singles in five times at the bat, made on the 18th,
is about the best OF the season SO far.
Neither Clarkson, WEIGH, nor Beaten are as
effective as last season. They haven't the same
support this year, though.
A remarkable thing about Capt. Power, of
Baltimore. is that he doesn't hesitate to acknowl-
edge the corn when his team is outplayed and
whipped. He seldom saddles the umpire with
the burden of defeat.
It's cold week when some change in Pitts
burg's Inflated League team does not take place.
The latest changes are Kelly released, and
Pitcher Coleman, Outfelder Osborne, of Wheel
ing, and Short-stop Sales, of Hamilton, signed
The team. however, loses with the old monoto-
nous regularity.

Harrisburg takes Jersey City's place in the
pennant race.
Bird has played almost every position on the
team He Is Jim dandy.
Roger Connors, of the New Yorks, made six
home-runs IN five successive games.
The disbandment OF the Jersey Citys places
several first-class men on the field-Dooley, for
instance.
The Hartfords are trying the experiment Of
be seen how successful they will be.
Jersey Cltys was the first team of any impor-
tance to give up its franchise, but as its place
was immediately taken by the Harrisburg team
no interruption occurred in the schedule as ar
ranged. The breaking of the straight circuit
will entail more expense on the clubs, as it costs
considerably more in railroad transportation to
make the trip. 1t is said that both the Hartfords
and Worcesters are in a bad financial way, and
1t would not be surprising to hear of their col
lapse at any time. Lebanon, Pa, is very desir-
GUS OF Joining the Atlantic Association, and in
case one OF Ihe aDOVe-nameu Teams dleDand IL IS
likely that it will be the place selected to fill the
vacancy. They have very strong team in the
town and it's paying one.
Hardie Richardson has made more home-runs
than all the rest of the team combined.
Jim Mutrie has given up the slogan, "We are
the people" and instead murmurs soft and low

an eye on the Louisville team, as they are play
ing strong ball and lead in the Association race
Ed Crane, of the New Yorks, still leads the
Players League in the batting, his average
being .345.
Charley Snyder. of this city, now with the
Clevelands, talks of giving up playing after this
season and becoming an umpire. He certainly
would make a success of it, as better Judge
never stood on the field.
The Washngtons return to the city the pres
ent week and will play the following games at
Capitol Park: Monday and Tuesday, Baltimores;
Wednesday and Thursday, New Havens; Friday
and Saturday, Hartfords. 1t should be an inter
esting week for sport.
Paul Hines Of this city, got out an attachment
against the Pittsburg share of the gate receipts
while in Boston, the Smoky City being indebted
TO him for 400. On learing that the money was
