w. I. Harris Thinks II Win
Not Materialize.
BUT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Brotherhood and Association was sufi-
Gent to keep the cranks busy for q little
while. That canard was exploded when
Billy Barnis jumped the Atlantic associa-
ton and got back into the American asso-
citation fold, which he would have been
better of never to have left. think 1
know Barnie pretty well, aud I'm satisfied
that he would never have returned to the old
fold unless he had received assurancest that
there would he no immediate alliance with
the Brotherhood, and certainly no amalgar
nation. This, Of course, may Inc a mistake.
for 1t is well known that Barnie swore, or
at least asserted. that he would never re-
turn to the American association: but that
assertion was not born Of anything strong
er thar pique and the fear that he would
not get fair treatment. His ~antipathy to
the Players league. however. Is quite
another matter.
Barnie had the savings Of years invested
in the Baltimore club. and the right 70 the
services q the players be bad under re-
serve was one VI the principal assets Of the
club. The c0axing away Of Cunningham,
Quinn, Kilroy, Shindle. Griffin. Foreman,

communion with the men whom he con.

and Sharsig are in the same boat. and n
seems to me that the only consideration
that win ever bring these men into
intimate relations with the Players'
league will b the prospect Of ah.Dluts

In pretty certain that In this case il will

The newspapers throughout the country
ought to refuse to publish the false attend
ance figures now given out by both sides
and give their own estimates. Several OF
the New York papers have already adopted
this plan in regard to the attendance at
the New York games.
They are building a viaduct to Washing
ton Heights. In New York, which runs by
the entrance to the Polo ground. Old
residents say that during the recent Gin
cinnati series II was horse and horse be
tween Arlie Latham on the inside and the
pile driver outside rs to which could make
the most noise.
Latham makes a better captain than any
one imagined he would. He watches every
point closely, and his side never loses any
thing because Arlie does not claim IL.
The wonderful work Of Whistler Mt first
base has been the best IMMINENT that could
possibly be applied to Tommy Esterbrook's
damaged hand. Within five days, a week
after Whistler made his first appearance
in New York, Tommy had discarded all
the bandages from his hand aud was talk
ing about getting back TO work. II the
new man holds his gait, Esterbrook will
not get back on first again this season.
bug" Holiday has quieted down since
Latham joined the Cincinnati team.
Frank Foreman says the reason is not that
Latham has abashed Holiday, but that
the Bug has not been hitting 'em out
with his usual frequency.
Buck Ewing Is now playing a wonderful
game Of ball, while Mike Kelly seems to
have let up In his work. Perhaps Buck
would weaken, too, II his admirers would
get together and present him with q Sl0,-
900 cottage.
Buck Ewing In 8 consecutive games
from Aug. IS made 10 base hits. Is runs, 5
sacrifice hits, stole 4 bases, had 80 put outs,
Is assists and | error. His batting average
for the s games was All and his fielding
percentage was $50. Where can you beat
him,
Whistler in five games has made ten hits.
His batting average in his first thirteen
games was $40. lie has made some of tho
greatest stops and catches of wild. throws
ever seen on the Polo ground.
Tim Keefe's accident was not so serious
as was thought ut the time. A delicate
surgical operation has been performed on
the injured finger, and the surgeon prom
Uses Tim that he can 20 to work again
shortly.
The release Of Sunday TO the Philadel-
phia club is an indication that Pittsburg
will not have a National league club in
1891.
II Harry Wright could only persuade J.
Palmer O'Neill to sell him the release Of
Fog Horn" Miller, and put that noisy in
dividual on third base, the Phillies might
yet finish first or second.
The Boston League pitchers seem to be
losing their grip. II they do not brace up
soon the team will not beat Brooklyn out.
The Boston brotherhood team is not bat
