The Grays Play Their Last Game
In This Series Tomorrow.
NO EASTERN GAMES YESTERDAY.

To-day and tomorrow the opponents of
the Grays ut Adelaide Park will be the
TroyA This winds up the present series
at home and then the team is away for
two weeks. While the work of the home
club during the past few days has not been
mp to the standard yet 1t is no more than
any team is liable to do, even when 1t
looks as II they must surely win. The
loss Of the game on Tuesday to the
Albanys was through no fault of the
infeld were decidedly off, 1t was simply
a case of hard luck In not being able to
hit Taylor's delivery with any degree of
safety.
The Grays are capable OF playing ball
and winning their share OF the games
with any club1n the Eastern League, but
because they happen TO loss two games In
three days there are those who are willing
TO charge the players with all kinds OF
misconduct. II the team won every game
there would be no interest in 1t. II the
cranks would only give the players
chance for their white alley and offer
some kind of announcement instead of
Jumping on them with both feet every
time they lose a game, IL would be better
for all concerned. and the men who do the
playing would feel more like doing good
work.
In the Troy team to-day will be seen
two players we'll known to patrons OF the
game here. One Is catcher Arthur
Clarke, who caught for the Brown Uni
versity team in 'S4, 'S5 and'S6 and "Big
Mike" Sullivan, who pitched for the
Grays last year.

one, and the present outlook is clearing 2
Of shops early In the season, save for the
steel steamer for Mrs. Newherry Of De-
troit, which will not be ready until late
In the summer.
The latest boat afioat Is the 2l-foot fin
keel Reaper, for II. Il. Benson Of Boston
She has been tried under sail, and
seemed to be very fast. but there was
nothing with which to compare her
speed.
Afioat she looks very much like the
Kersey 25-rater, which Is moored off the
works, except that she carries a bowsprit
some five or six feet outboard and has a
longer main boom.
She has balanced metal rudder OF tri-
angular shape, with the point forward
and the upper side fitting close to the
counter.
The Kersey o5-rater carries no bowsprit
and her mainboom barely projects over
the stern.
In the shops the 80-foot fin, believed 10
he for j II. Hooper OF Boston, is approach
ing completion and should I've ready with
in n week. In model she II much like the
other I'm keels, only n little more bulky,
