Although the New-York and Brooklyn teams have
not won as many games Of their friends think
that they ought have won the records so far made
need occasion no alarm. The League This year
will not be runaway affair, and the season is only
Just started. The rather Indifferent records made by
the local teams is not sign of weakness but OF the
poor physical condition OF Of the players. The
Brooklyn has missed Ward in more ways than one
He is needed much to direct and captain his team as
he is to cover short STOP give startling exhibitions OF
base running and hit the BAN. Wards thumb injured
in Philadelphia is rapidly getting WELL and he Will be

York has been even more unfortunate than Brookyn
having Ewing Keefe, welch, Buckley, Denny and
Clarke ON the injured list With six such men the
hospital list it remarkable that the Giants have done

but this causes surprise, for Ansons team always
does that The Boston, Cleveland and Pttsburg
teams have shown that they capable OF taking care
