THE PHILLIES HERE TODAY,
Another Chance to Leave the Leagues Last

Another Chance to Leave the Leagues Last
Place.
The Nationals were twice defeated on Sat-
urday and thereby lost another chance to get
out of twelfth place, for st. Louis lost twice
yesterday. In the first game with Brooklyn
Saturday KIllen and MEG uire were the home
battery and Haddock and Daily the visitors
The local team has never been able to hit Had
dock. and made only six hits Saturday, while
killen at times did not do himself justice. 1t
should be said, however. that both Killen and
Mcclure protested that they we're not in con-
dition to play. As both men have served the
club faithfully and have been its winning bat
tory they are certainly entitled to cOnsidera-
ton. The visitors won by 5 to 2.
Harry O'Hagan. Y. NJ c. A. ball player,
wen: behind the bat in the second game and ac-
the box, was wild as usual, and he kept his
young backstop on the jump. OF course
O'Hagan is not up to the league standard. but
his work was promising. He delighted all his
friends on the bleachers with a safe hit and
brought in his run. As Abbey pitched no one
expected the team to win and no one was disap-
pointed. He was an easy mark for the Brook
lyns. who made eleven hits and won in walk.
Stein pitched for them. The score was to g.
President Wagner on Saturday teIegraphed
for Dowse, who has been catching for the Phil
lies, but was released because Cross and Glenn
ents had got in shape again.
Manager Buckenberger Of the Pitts burg
Club left for st. Louis last night, with full in
structions to close the deal for the trade Of
Shugart for Jack Glasscock who was recently
given his ten days notice. 1t appears now that
Won der Abe has repented and has decided to
retain Glasscock. Ten days ago the latter
might have obtained his unconditional release
while the Browns were playing in Philadelphia,
but he did not care to take advantage of it for
fear he might lose position or all Of the ten
days pay allowed him from st. Louis. Now
that he sees his services are wanted in Chicago,
Pitts burg and elsewhere he is sorry he did not
quit Won der Abe for good and all. The chances
now are that he will be obliged to remain in St.
Louis to the end of the season.
Capt. Arson of the Chicago club has given
Corners his notice Of release. He also
warned several members of his team.
Pittsburg has released Pitcher Menefee and
Buckenberger accepted terms to manage the
Pittsburg club next season.
Elmer Smith says Hanlon Of the Baltimores
has been after him for several months past but
Pittsburg will not let him co. not even con-
sidering trade Of Smith for Van Haltren.

New York and Boston broke even on games

Saturday. the score standing 8 each.
Pittsburg defeated Chicago to 4, and Cleve-
land defeated Louisville by too.
The Orioles dropped two games on Saturday
to the Phillies, the results being 10 to 9 and 9
to 0. Ely, a pitcher from the Pennsylvania
State League, was given a trial by Manager
Hanlon in the second game. but he was very
wild in his delivery and was ineffective when
he got the ball over the plate.
Comiskey's Red Legs took two from Won der
Ahe's Misfits yesterday, ) to 2 and too Chris
must realize by this time that Comiskey is per-
haps the superior base ball manager.
The Phillies begin series Of two games here
