would save the league at least ESQ 900, which
amount would support n frst-class club. Be-
sides, there would be more interest in visiting
clubs, as their visits would be further apart,
and, therefore, all the more novel; He says

40 WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES.
There seems to be considerable doubt about
the playing of at the close Of the year between
the Bostons and Clevelands. The weather and
the lack OF interest in the game would not
make II a paving investment in Boston. Again,
there are not few who believe that the cam
paign was fixed for a western club to win the
second half Director Billings for one Is
against playing off and Manager Selee thinks IS
he does
Arrangements had been as good as perfected
for both the Bostons and Clevelands to go to
the Pacific coast, playing in western cities on
the way, each player to look out for his own
expenses and take his own chances, but tele-
gram bad been received from Cleveland in
which 1t is stated that the players in that club
want their expenses guaranteed, so that il Ii by
no means sure that the clubs will undertake the
trip.
EASTERN AND WESTERN LEAGUES.
While a return to the old league and associa-
ton is highly improbable, for a city that has
had n league club will not support a frst-class
club in a minor organization, yet the formation
of eastern and western leagues of equal jim
pOrtance is by no means impossible. though not
likely the coming winter. The fact that it
would be such a great saving of railway fares
cOmmends il to the favor Of the magnates
Such a scheme has long been looked upon favor
ably. Such an organization would make two
frst-class leagues, divided as follows:
East. West.
BOston, Chicago
Brooklyn. Cleveland,
New York. Pittsburg,
Philadelphia, Louisville,
Baltimore, Cincinnati,
Washington. St. Louis.
Yesterdays GAMES.
The Washingtons have been feeling the need
Of third basemRn more in the past three
or four games than in all the season. Radford
was injured in the last game here, and Duffee
had to take his place. 1t was not TO be expected
that an outhelder could go in and play the most
difficult infield position without error, and, Of
course. Duffee did not do it. Yesterday Twit-
ehell was pulled in from left field and given
trial there. Larkin put out in
RICH. and Mcclure played first
base, while DOwse caught. The other positions
were unchanged, while killen pitched. Not
all these changes, the boys made
only five errors. They batted well, earning all
three runs, but their errors were very costly,
Boston earning only two of its thirteen runs
OF course, under the economical policy pur-
sued by the local management, the disabling Of
one player dIsarrsnges the whole team. Shan
non, the crack shortstop of the Brocktons, will
be tried today. Score:
